Regarding the duel between Cinder and Ruby, I have a fantasy scene already set up in my head: Cinder has Ruby disarmed, badly beaten and is just about to finish her off when she actually looks at her for the first time; she sees that face and those grey eyes and...

"... Summer...?"

Then she screams at Roman, Emerald and Mercury to retreat. When Roman protests, she gets him moving with a Semblance Hot-Foot. "This isn't a fight we can win," she snaps.

Naturally, next volume, we get the whole issue of how Cinder knew Summer so much that she'd break off on the verge of victory. More importantly why she would break off rather than hurt Summer's little girl. We might also get Ozpin explaining just how he managed to make more mistakes than every man, woman and child on the planet.
