I would have had Cinder aim her arrow at Ozpin (either incapacitating or killing him) after she realises she wasn't fast enough to stop Pyrrha recieving the other half of the maidens powers (giving Pyrrha and Cinder the reason for facing one another I think was lacking) Except Pyrrha did not receive any half, quarters, or any amount of the Maiden powers because Cinder stopped the process before it truly began. And then she killed Amber, getting the 100% of the powers. Really, if Pyrrha received any % of the powers, it was in the low-single digits.

Plus, given how Ozpin fought full-Maiden Cinder in the show, if a single puny arrow from a half-Maiden Cinder incapacitated him or killed him it would be major bullshit.

And what "reason" was lacking in Cinder and Pyrrha's fight? Pyrrha believed she was the only one remaining that could stop her, given Ozpin failed. After Cinder reached the top, Pyrrha arrived, and Cinder cannot allow meddling fools to potentially ruin something. So they fight.
