I know I just did another one of these a few days ago but here's another one in response to new information.

1. I know I keep coming back to this but I say it again because I can. Team RWBY will more then likely spend the entire volume apart and will probably stay apart for the fallowing volume.

2. There will be a short time skip. I don't know how long though, since the show is styled like anime I have a rough idea on how long it will be from volume 3, either six months at the shortest or two years at the longest. But for arguments sake let's just say one year based on the fact that in Ruby's posset time skip design she doesn't look that much older to me.

3. Since the world thinks that Atlas was responsible for the attack on Vale, distrust between the kingdoms is at an all time high and there will be foreshadowing of a war throughout the volume.

3. Ruby will be fighting Grimm with team RNJR and four of them will have gotten much stronger then they were before. Ruby will have gotten some hand to hand combat training from Ren, and she'll have some minor changes to her personality, due to the betrayal of Cinder, Emrald, and Mercury, she'll still be the happy girl to does what's right and defends the week, but she'll be much more cautious around people she has never met before.

4. Weiss will be working for her father at the Schnee Dust Company, to retire as a huntress and go into a more safer line of work. But I think that she'll be secretly training to keep her skills sharp and she'll be working on fully manifesting her Summoned Armor.

5. Blake will be on the run from the White Fang, at first I thought that she would stay in Vale but after thinking about it she would probably want to put as much distance between her self and them as possible so she may be hiding in one of the other kingdoms, like Minstral or Vacuo.

6. Yang will still be in a slump from losing her arm and having her partner abandon her (from her point of view at least), so she has all but given up being a Huntress and spends her days wondering through Vale. She'll either be snapped out of it by her father or she'll met up with her mother who will lead her down a very dark path. Either way she probably won't get her robot arm till the next volume.

7. The gang will face off against new kinds of Grimm, one of which will be the Berwgel a gorilla like Grimm half the size of King Kong.

8. The final scene of the volume will be Cinder waking up from a coma induced by Ruby's powers.

9. Team RWBY will get weapon upgrades! Hopefully...

10. Jaune will have become stronger, motivated my Pyrrha's death, but will probably won't find out what his semblance is. We may learn Ren's though.

11. We will meet Penny's father and possibly get some hint that Penny is being rebuilt.

12. Neopolitan will be after Ruby to avenge Roman since she thinks that Ruby killed him.

13. There will probably be some new characters in each main character's individual story.

14. Ozpin will be shown to be alive and held prisoner by Salem.

15. Mercury and Emerald will be working to worsen the distrust between the kingdoms, but their actions will not be as effective without Cinder to lead them.

16. Ironwood will probably lose his position as a result of Atlas trying to save face, he will be under house arrest in a best case scenario or imprisoned in a worst case scenario. His successor will either be someone who has no knowledge of the Maidens or Salem or it could be Winter. Since she was in the meeting with Ozpin before she was kicked out it's safe to assume that she knows some of their secrets. Hell, Ironwood could have told her before he was arrested.
