The special healing dust Ruby used on Jaune was a little cheesy, but the dialogue made it sound not so bad. Was that a LOTR reference with the dagger turning to dust? The assassin and his weapon kind of reminded me of a Ringwraith and a Morgul-blade, respectively.

Ohh that makes sense, wow never thought of it that way. And the dialogue, while cheesy also was very personal.

But here's something that could fit into the Schnee Dust Company story arc,

The Price of Peace

After a long, hard day of training, Weiss goes to bed and fails to go to sleep. Blake inquires why (by this point they could have been friends for a while), Weiss explains it's the anniversery of her arrival at Beacon, Weiss can't help but think about her life in White Castle... the warm baths, the regular walks, the soft bed, she ends up missing it. Eventually she goes to sleep and wakes up exhausted. Then she gets a chance to return to the fold and her family apologizing to her, asking for her help. Weiss then disappears and Blake heads to the Schnee Enterprises bulding (Schnee Enterprise being an umbrella company overseeing several other, smaller buisnesses). While at first being stopped by the security guards, Weiss stops them and invites Blake to a meal with her parents. At the meal, Blake is suspicious at best with the Schnee's, who are seemingly friendly. Soon she leaves impolitly and Weis inquires about her behavior, explaining that something was up. Weiss leaves in a huff, not believing her. Immediatly after, Blake is knocked out by a security guard. Father Schnee explains that the real reason Weiss came back was to legitimize the destruction of the Fauna reservations (with Weiss in the fold, she'll deny any involvement in the SDC's role in the attack), with Blake suspecting too much. Weiss learns of the attack and confronts her father about this and he reassures her it's for a greater good, hugging her (Weiss somewhat upset, but complying anyway). Eventually RWBY defeats the attack and storms the building, Blake already getting out and meeting up with Ruby and Yang, there the head into the office with the Father and Weiss, the Father ordering Weiss to "defend the family". Weiss at first draws her sword, but drops it in a last act of defiance. With that, the V.P.D. storm the building and arrest Schnee. When they arrive in Beacon Weiss learns that the family has disowned her and removed her from any inheritence and access to her bank accounts. Blake then stands by her saying she did the right thing. Good theory, but I'm not really thrilled about the way you wrapped it up by bringing the rest of team RWBY into the fold. That just seemed kind of random, having Ruby & Yang show up out of nowhere when you hadn't even mentioned them up to that point. I really do like your theory about Weiss ultimately choosing between her family and her friends, though. I definitely think that will come up later.
