1. Team RWBY will remain separated for the entirety of the Volume, and they will all have they’re own stories that the volume will focus on.

2. Most of the world believes that the Atlas Military attacked Vale, thus throughout the volume their will be foreshadowing of a war.

3. Ruby will be traveling to Mistral with team RNJR, investigating Cinder and her faction.

4. Weiss will be in Atlas both attending the Atlas Academy and possibly helping to protect her Kingdom, or she'll be forced to work for her Father.

5. Blake will be in Vale fighting Grimm and possibly the White Fang, alongside Glinda Goodwitch, she will also forgo hiding her cat ears.

6. Yang will more the likely still be recovering, and she will recover with the help of her father and Qrow. She will also get a robotic arm with help from Ironwood, his way of making amends for his mistake involving her fight with Mercury.

7. All the characters will get new outfits.

8. Cinder will wake up from a coma induced by Ruby’s powers.

9. Jaune will  FINALLY  discover his Semblance.

10. Penny will return in a new body, but with the loss of memories involving certain people, not including Ruby.

11. Ozpin with be revealed to be alive and being held prisoner by Salem.

12. Salem will send someone, possibly Neopolitan, to kill Ruby before her powers fully awaken. 1. Almost certainly.

2. Hold that thought. It's more important than you may realize.

3. Duh.

4. I'm personally hoping for the Father angle, just so we can put that bullshit to bed. I'm getting the same vibe as Lucy's father from Fairy Tail (THEY HAVE THE EXACT SAME MUSTACHE!).

5. Blake ran away to protect the people she cared about from Adam's vengeful-yandere-psychopathic wrath, so while we might see some action scenes with her, those scenes will make it obvious that she's the one being attacked and that she's on the run. Adam threatened to destroy everything she held dear, and while Blake's relationship with Goodwitch was probably nothing more than an arms-length student-teacher relationship, that might be enough for Adam to put Glynda on his "Fuck you, Blake" hit-list. I'm sure Glynda could take Adam (and let's be honest: it'd be one helluva fight), but I think Blake'll still be kicking/hating herself for running away again that even if the thought occurs to her, she might not want to risk it. In addition to that, due to the scale and -let's be real- success of the WF's attack, Human-Faunus tensions and anti-Faunus sentiment in Vale will be at an all-time high, so you'll probably need a cutting torch, a neurosurgeon, and Master Chief with a crowbar to get that bow off of Blake' head.

6. Yeah, Yang's definitely still gonna be recovering. As for Ironwood, he's a reasonable-enough guy. He wanted to believe Yang after the kneecap incident, he believed that she believed she saw Merc attacking her, and after being personally called out when Cinder hijacked the signal, he's probably come to the conclusion that Team RWBY's claims that Yang was set up were probably true. However, let's go back to item 2 on this list (told you it was more important than you realize). The rest of Remnant saw the Atlesian military (under IRONWOOD'S COMMAND) attack Vale. Even with the CCT down, the Atlesian council knows an international backlash is coming, along the lines of "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, PUTTING A POWER-HUNGRY LUNATIC LIKE THAT IN CHARGE OF BOTH YOUR HUNTSMAN ACADEMY AND YOUR MILITARY?!!??!". However, the citizenry of Atlas were also watching the shit go down, they'll probably be outraged in the same was as the other Kingdoms, only this time there's no time-delay from a disabled global communications network to give the Atlesian council time to prepare. Does Ironwood have ANY evidence -physical or circumstantial- to prove his innocence? Not so much, no. And that's not even going into how much trouble Ironwood and the Atlas council are in due to the reveal of Penny's true nature as a robot. Basically, in order to save face both at home and abroad, the Atlas council hasno choice but to sack Ironwood and either throw him in jail or at the very least (given his influence) very strict house arrest. Assuming (quite reasonably) that he does want to help Yang, he's likely in no position to do so.

7. RNJR at the very least.

8. What Hazel said.

9. Certainly a possibility, but I'm not holding my breath.

10. I'm not a big fan of the idea that Penny'll come back, especially so soon after her "death", but if she does come back, I wouldn't be opposed to some holes in her memory.

11. Was there ever any doubt? Although I feel that showing Oz alive an imprisoned so soon is a bit cheap and unnecessary.

12. I was always under the impression that Neo's loyalties lied with Roman more than Cinder or Salem, so if she does come back to try to kill Ruby, it'll be to avenge Torchwick, not because Salem told her to.

-He who is AWESOME
