I really would like to have a period where Ruby falls somewhat under Cinder's spell and becomes the 'R' in Team CRME. Maybe Cinder, presenting herself as one of the tutors at Ironwood's school, offers to give her some 'extra' training in using her Semblance (suggesting that her methods were what made Mercury able to creame Pyrrha).

I'd just love to see a darker version of Ruby. When she finally turns her back on Cinder (when she is ordered to murder a helpless prisoner) she'll come back to Beacon a wiser and much, much more powerful Huntress.

It would be even cooler if Ruby finds out Cinder knew Summer Rose (maybe from Ozpin) after she finds out that she's one of the bad guys. Foolishly confident in the power of love and friendship, she approaches her, either from Emerald or Roman. Is she trying to turn Cinder back to the Good Side or does she just want some connection with Summer through her? Either way, it leads her on a trip through the Dark Side.

A good name for the sequence of episodes (perhaps only differentiated with 'part' names): Dark Rose Ascendent.
