Cinder and her un-named Mistress seems to know something deep and dark; whatever it is, it must have been traumatizing enough for them to revolt in such a drastic way. Like a game of chess, knocking down everything that leads to the heads' of the board. I doubt that these villains would overthrow all the higher powers, for the sake of chaos alone. There's got to be some sort of motive. Some people seem to think that the real mastermind of the operation is actually Raven -- while that does sound logical, given her brief apparance and sinister visage, one thing contradicts tilts this theorem in a slightly different direction. That fact being how she defended Yang. Though, that action might actually have been in her favor. It couldn't have been done out of guilt, rather... She knew that everything would go according to plan, and, as sick as it sounds, would rather allow Yang to live now, so she could suffer later. That's besides the main point, though. We aren't even certain, if she is whom we think she may be.

Regardles, the plan at hand. I still believe there's an uncovered depth. Who's to say that Cinder's Faction is truly the evil folks, in the series? From the get-go, we're introduced from the "heroes" perspective. Who's to say that Ozpin and his little troupe aren't the actual villains, masked by shiny ideologies, keeping the world strung around his finger by peaceful actions and remarks? He's kept plenty of secrets from those beneath his eyes, aye? Ones that he claimed would set everyone in a state of panic. For example, the Maiden's myth. Now, just what was he going to use that Maiden for, hm? Yes, yes, for a chosen youth. A brilliant adolescent, who would be able to shine above the others and carry out tasks that no normal person could. Ozpin is likely hiding more, much more... Something that Cinder's Faction wants to indirectly uncover via violent siege against the city-scape. Inb4 Raven is secretly one of the Maidens? Who knows? Don't beat me too harshly, lads/lasses. Unles Raven will become some crazy unsung hero behind the scenes. Anyways, theories.
