Alright, I'm not going to kick around the bush here. I'll get straight to the point.

If you haven't seen Chapter 6 'Fall' yet, then go see it if you don't want spoilers.

Now, although we don't know the full story yet, I'm going to take a shot at the dark and say that I think Cinder is attempting to take all of Amber's powers. It's safe to assume that she's the one that took some of her power. So, how is she going to do it? Well, I want you to note the scene at the end where Grimm take notice of Beacon and the Tournament, because of the negativity there. I'm assuming she's trying to lure them there as a distraction, so she can get into the vault where Amber is, and take her or her powers. If that's correct, I have two things to say: 'Well done'; and 'You screwed up'.

Now... Let's be real here, she's taking out the heavy hitters to help with the distraction, hence, why she had Mercury and Emerald take out Coco and Yatsuhasai, and Mercury decredit Yang. Out of everyone in the school that I've seen, I can say, that to me personally, the four greatest heavy hitters are Coco, Pyrrha, Yang and Yatsuhasai. So that's three out of four. And that's pretty good so far. But... Here come my problem with her plan. Not that it's a bad plan. To me, it's brilliant. But there's one major flaw in this plan: She targeted Yang.

Just.... Why? Out of all of the four, Pyrrha is the most dangerous hazard to her plan. Most combat experienced and most well known. Imagine if it was Pyrrha who 'broke' Mercury's leg. That, would have caused a bigger uproar. Here you have a well-known celebrity, breaking another contestant's leg, for no god-damn reason... Just, why?
