Really skilled, well-trained kids, but they're still kids. Maybe just have them smacked in the face with the reality of everything - all things considered, they definitely can't beat Ironwood, and they almost certainly can't beat Cinder. Plus, if they do lose, that opens up a ton of opportunities for introspection from Ruby next volume - if they can't save everyone, why try to?

Gotta say, if one of Team RWBY or ALPN says, 'We're just kids' next volume, my approval for this show will skyrocket.. True, Ruby acts like she's learned nothing from the Fall of Beacon, and trying to pretend that nothing fazes her beyond the immediate moment is one reason she's my least favorite of the four. Boasting that she and her team have now surpassed Ace-Ops is way over the line. And yes, if they somehow beat Ironwood that'll be even more of a buttpull; Leo I can excuse because he was cowardly and past his prime, but Ironwood? It'd be more realistic if Cinder kills him, he's way beyond what the heroes are currently capable of.
