Combat Ready is set in between volume 1 and 2. so that cant work unless they skip ahead. but that would be a problem with how the characters look (hight, clothing, new powea, new arm, being ash, ect)

we do know the power gets transformed to the last person the maiden thinks of before they die(besides if its a old person or a dude).

so the real question is, if cinder is dead, who did she think of last?

raven? the one that killed her

ruby? caz of her hate for her (that make ruby waaaaaaaaaay to op)

emerald? could tell how she was able to make everyone see salem, maybe she get a buff to her power

salem? she prob not caz of how to get the power, even tho (we think) shes very...very old

neo? prob not. she didn't do a lot with neo besides the starting 4v4 fight in the tournament
