Mine is just a theory, so don't take it too much seriously, but what I would you to ask is, respect to all we know so far it could be really impossible this story? After all the theories I read on this topic, this one could the most simple and realistic to my point of view. Just find a way to fill all the gap I put in my theory, and then it could be the truth. Or at least this is what I think.

However as I said before, Mercury and Emerald could be near the tower, so they saw everything: The moment when Jaune and Pyrrha get out from there, and then Pyrra make Jaune fly in the city, while she fight Cinder. Same from this point, they saw Ruby and Weiss appear on the beacon. Sure they didn't expect this to happen, so that's why they had to intervene. In the moment they saw Pyrra get once again inside the tower they know that she has no chance to defeat Cinder, so they didn't intervenee. All that they had to do was to wait for their boss. It was when Weiss and Ruby appeared that they have to change the plan.

Also, just suppose that the moment of Pyrra's death was an illusion. I think that the moment when she was turned in ashes was the illusion but the shot in the chest was real. However don't forget that Cinder is a pro, so she could easily avoid her vital organs, and don't tell me that this is impossible because I saw a lot of situation where "5 mm more down and you would be dead". So the shot in the arrow was enough to make her lose consciousness but not die. If you want an example, just think to the first fight between Rash al ghul vs Arrow. Ras hit Oliver in the chest with his blade, but he didn't die, and with the cures of Katana he recover, so this is how could be happen with Pyrra too

I add only one part about why to set up Pyrra's death. Is to make her lose all hope, because THIS is the goal of the enemy: crash the hope and the trust of the people. If they told to Pyrrha that noone will search for her because they think she's dead, her faith will start to tremble, and so she would more easy for her to give up.
