1. We get a clear closeup of the arrow "teleporting" around the shield. The arrow's physical form is dispersed into amber-coloured flakes and re-assembled on the other side of the shield. Cinder even does this with bow before shooting the final arrow, which she shouldn't have even had to do because the bow was in her hand in the previous scene. It looked to me like they were perposely drawing attention to the fact that Cinder can teleport stuff. Cinder incapacitated Pyrrha and teleported her off somewhere.

2. In the episode "Rememberance" Ruby keeps having dreams about Pyrrha's final moments. But along with Pyrrha's final words are a few new lines of Pyrrha talking to Jaune. In the next dream sequence it's nothing but Pyrrha saying Jaune's name. After waking up, Ruby then hears Pyrrha's voice, but for real this time. But how can that be? She watched Pyrrha die. So Ruby goes to investigate while the audience is treated to new lines of dialogue from Pyrrha. [...]

3. In the episode "Tipping Point" when Tyrian confronts team RNJR he makes reference to being interested in Jaune, but not of the others (with his goal being Ruby, obviously). Why would Tyrian be interested in Jaune? The only reason I can think of takes us back to my first point about Pyrrha getting teleported into Salem's care. If Pyrrha was being interrogated, she may have been forced to talk about why she and Jaune were with Ozpin. I'm sure Cinder would have remembered that Jaune was present for the trasfer of the Maiden's power. 1. Most important point to counter: Uh, that's not teleportation.

Cinder's bow and arrows are made of obsidian, volcanic black glass. What happened to her arrow is that it shattered (due to being glass), but Cinder melted it back down into its lava state and then cooled it in the shape of an arrow again on the other side. We had previously seen in volume 2 that Cinder could use bright orange Dust sewn into her clothes to form obsidian weapons.

As for her bow, did you notice that when Pyrrha's ankle got struck by the arrow and then Cinder walked over to Pyrrha and talked to her, the bow was gone? So of course she needed to reform the bow. But she didn't "teleport" it from anywhere. She used the Maiden powers to form lava in the air and cool it into obsidian shaped like a bow, along with another obsidian arrow.

Cinder prefers using fire and lava. That's what she used before she got the full Fall Maiden powers and even before Monty came up with the idea for the Maidens (they didn't exist as an idea before volume 3).

2. And Ruby was having those dreams supposedly because she could hear Jaune's training videos in the distance. I've had sounds affect my dreams before too, and I know other people have, as well. Hell, my mom even recently had smell influence her dreams when I cooked bacon.

When Ruby woke up and thought she heard Pyrrha, there were little glowing blue lights around, possibly to make us think of will-o-wisps. There's a wide variety of folklore connected to will-o-wisps, but some of Europe's and Britain's folklore has connections to the dead. Mostly, the folklore involves will-o-wisps leading travelers astray through various means.

Now that I think about it... the presence of "will-o-wisps" and Pyrrha's "Follow these instructions" initially sounding like "Follow me"... It could be a shot in the dark and really dumb speculation, but what if someone in RNJR gets led astray by their grief for Pyrrha?

3. Honestly, I really hope the mystery of Tyrian's interest in Jaune will get solved soon because it's really odd, and we don't have much of anything to help us understand it.
