Seriously, I don't see how a first year Huntress in training could take out Neo, unless Neo is also around that skill level... which I have a hard time believing. Maybe Ruby having an unfamiliar weapon (seeing as she and Qrow are like the only scythe users) could give her an advantage... but Neo also uses an unfamiliar weapon (I don't see anyone else using an umbrella/parasol). Ruby's speed didn't really help her against Mercury, seeing as he was skilled and fast enough to intercept her, I don't see why Neo couldn't do that too. RWBY has a strong spirit. Though she is mentally unstable now. Ruby's anger and sorrow may make her a serious rival. She's like a kamikadze now.

I'm not quite shure that smb can stop Ruby at this condition.
