User blog comment:BenRG/My Prediction for the end of Volume 2/@comment-10390252-20140912162251

Another thought that occurs to me: Maybe the final confrontation will be triggeered when they hook Penny into the CCT Tower in an attempt to use her better-than-state-of-the-art anti-malware system to purge Cinder's virus.

Cinder's scroll squawks a warning as she's trying to get past Ozpin and the teachers to get at an important McGuffin at Beacon; she and the rest of CRME rush to the tower and, whilst CFVY protect Penny in the upstairs room, RWBY confront CRME in front of the tower. Awesome one-on-one fight turns into a team vs. team struggle. Then, all the street signs reactivate and the lights start coming back on. Realising that she's only got minutes before the city's defences start taking out the Grimm and White Fang, she has her team flee.

CINDER: "We will finish this some other time... Daughter of Rose."
