If you re-watch Players and Pieces, Pyrrha at first has the Death Stalker right on top of her. Then when she collapses at Team RWBY's feet and Ruby decides to take on the Death Stalker alone, the scorpion is not as close as it should be. When Ruby moves to runaway from the Death Stalker as the Nevermore's feather flechettes rain down on her, the view shows that Ruby is something like a half-mile away from the group. It makes sense that Ruby could move that far with her Semblance, but Pyrrha doesn't have a speed semblance so how did she get so far away from the Death Stalker. Then when Ruby is caught by one of the flechettes and the rest rain down toward Yang, the distance between the two girls increases from what it was just a second ago.

This is an artistic license sort of thing. Stretching time raises suspense but has the side-effect of distorting the world and its physics. Another method of stretching time is using slo-motion, but this decreases the urgency of the action.
