Let's throw science theories at the wall and see what sticks:


 * Cinder's goal is to kill the wizard Ozpin, removing the source of the maidens' magic because they are generally a force for peace and a revolutionary force would rather they not exist.
 * Cinder's boss is Raven. Evil, evil Raven.
 * Raven probably killed Summer too.
 * Instead of/Just before dying, Ozpin pulls back the maidens' powers and bestows them on team RWBY.
 * Sucks to be them, though, 'cause the world has just lost its communication system, Grimm are rampaging on every continent, the armies of Atlas are destroyed or controlled by the enemy, every civilian is in a panic, there is a giant Grimm dragon in Vale and, finally, everything is on fire.
