I'm rooting for  midseason cliffhanger rather than for the season because I'm hoping that monty isnt THAT cliched or cruel. Definitely Crimson. As Jaune is currently under Cardin's thumb, my previous idea has fallen through.

However, maybe the various Teams are sent to Vale City for field exercises under the guidence of one of the staff or a professional Hunter/Huntress (it would be simplest to have RWBY with Gynda). The run-up to the end-of-volume would be for them to be investigating a robbery at a Dust Warehouse that leads them right to Roman Torchwick's organisation and... Crimson. There follows two big battles - Glynda vs Crimson (Crimson wins and Glynda only survives because RWBY, defying her direct orders, break cover and attack the dark Aura Witch). The second battle will be a running series of engagements with Crimson in the warehouse district that climaxes with Crimson disarming Ruby and knocking her down.

Crimson is just about to strike the final blow when she gets her first clear look at her opponent's face. "I know you... Who are you?"

Ruby glares up defiantly as she shuffles backwards towards Crescent Rose. "Just to you'll know who kicked your butt, I'm Ruby Rose!"

Crimson's face goes through an incredible series of contortions - rage, joy, fury, soul-shredding anguish. "Ruby... Rose...? No... that isn't possible! You... you're dead! He said I'd killed you!"

CUT TO BLACK

"YOU'RE DEAD!" followed by an explosion sound effect and the caption: "To Be Continued in Volume 2"
