Calling it now. By the end of the volume, Ruby will kill Cinder, who is obsessed with revenge. Ruby will lose all form of self control in her Silver Eye state and due to that, she will not hesitate to kill Cinder, to avenge Pyrrha and Penny.....and maybe Weiss (who I doubt is going to die. Sure she's out of this fight, but a flaming spear is a way to instantly cartarize the wound, and I think they still have alot of stuff to do with her.

Here is my theory on what will happen in the finale. Blake, Ilia, and Sun will face off with Adam. Blake is about to be killed by Adam, but Ilia sacrifices herself to save Blake, and Blake will use the opertunity to kill Adam, taking leadership of the White Fang. Meanwhile Ruby and CInder have their final showdown, and once Qrow is struck down, Ruby will kill Cinder, and with Cinder's mind filled with nothing but thoughts of revenge on Ruby, the powers of the Fall Maiden are transfered to Ruby. She then passes out (only for a few days this time as opposed tothe couple of months like last time). When she wakes up, she discovers she has the Fall Maiden powers. Blake then meets up with the rest of the team.

With the first of the four relics in Salem's hands, Ozpin decideds that they might need a back up plan in case Salem succeeds in getting the rest. With Ruby as the new Fall Maiden, Ozpin suggests that Ruby become THE Maiden, and obtain the powers of all four, because if Salem gets all the relics, even her silver eyes would not be enough to win. And the volume ends before any of them can say their thoughts on that plan.....
