I was starting to think I was the only one to believe that something happened after the flash of light. Cinder being frozen just doesn't make sense from a writing prospective. Qrow would of probably killed her on the spot.

And if Ruby collapsed right after Cinder would no doubt have killed her on the spot. So something must have happened to make Cinder retreat.
