1) The difference is the amount of time spent on the water. Blake assumedly boarded the ship to Menagerie from Sanus, the two not being that far apart in comparison to Anima to Sanus heading east.

2) ......but if its another dragon, they'll need the blade users. Jaune I doubt could fight it in midair like Blake did (Plus, motion sickness), Weiss' saber is more for thrust not cutting, Ren can throw Stormflower but then runs the risk of them falling into the sea.

3) ...She would gain nothing from opening a portal to Taiyang for them, except just getting rid of them. 1) Anima-to-Sanus, heading east, is actually closer than Sanus-to-Menagerie. Of course, that's if they're going to Vacuo's side of Sanus, not to Vale's.

2) Jaune could just stay back and heal or play tactician. Weiss's saber would cut it's wings just-fine because they're bat wings, not rocks, and if she can't, the Knight can. And Ren wouldn't even need to throw anything, he could just go at it, and if he can't jump at it then he just gets Nora or Yang to throw him at it.

Nora herself could do some stuff. The Dragon shoots lightning, she gets buffed up. Her buff isn't just power, it's overall strength which means she can run faster and jump higher, so she can easily get to the dragon and likely tank the beams for the team. Then she could probably fire grenades point-blank, a range where they are more likely to hit.

3) Which is exactly what she would love to do, considering she wants nothing to do with Ozpin's little war. 1) Thing is though, we don't really know the distance between Anima and Sanus-Vacuo. I've taken the liberty of merging together two identical maps of Remnant side by side, and drawing lines, one connecting the coast east of Haven to the Coast east of Shade, and one connect the cost of Menagerie to the closest point of Sanus. Assuming this is the accurate distance of the sea, then yes, the Menagerie path is larger, took longer, and I concede the argument to you. But what if the map doesn't cover the entirety of the ocean. What if it cuts part of the ocean off? We don't really have a scale then.



2) Okay, point conceded.

3) Problem is though, Raven's already in too deep. Cinder is aware that Raven is the spring maiden. If she survives and tells this to Salem, they won't stop hunting her until they get the Spring Powers so they can get the Relic of Knowledge. Or worse, if Raven goes through with her plan of taking the Relic, then they'll just hunt her for the relic. She has a large target painted on her back, arguably an even larger one now that Vernal isn't able to be the decoy now. At least then they'd hunt more for Vernal and leave her alone if they could get to Vernal, and when they find Vernal doesn't have the power, they'd more likely assume it went to the person last in Vernal's thoughts, sending them on a wild goose chase. Now however, Raven is a massive target.

Logic may not be something Raven is familiar with, but at this point, turning away from Ozpin's group is the same as running forever. At least with Ozpin's group she could use them to hide herself. They'd (Salem's Coven) probably assume she went and ran off on her own, and the most she'd have to do is disguise herself as a bird and pretend to be a pet like Zwei if things look suspicious. The only one among the villains who seems to know that trick is Leo afterall.
