I'm still processing it, but I get a definite feel of a hidden corruption beneath the surface, the destruction of which might be Cinder's self-imposed mission. It's just that, like V in V for Vendetta, she's decided that the only cure is to tear down the whole edifice and force humanity to rebuild from scratch.

Maybe RWBY will be forced to confront that head-on. Maybe the fight between Pyrrha and CRDL will be them trying to stop what the authorities insist are eight "dangerous renegades" (JNPR and RWBY).

Maybe Summer Rose didn't die at the hands of the Grimm at all but at the hands of fellow Hunters and Huntresses who had been told the same thing - that she was a dangerous renegade who had to die to protect society from disaster when, in fact, all she'd been doing was getting a bit too close to The Truth.
