Here is another list of possible elements in volume 4 for everyone to enjoy!

1. Team RWBY will spen the entire volume, and possibly the following one, separated throughout Remnant, with one girl in each kingdom. The girls will have to deal with their own personal demons as a focal point of the volume.

2. Ruby will be traveling with Team RNJR, most likely as the leader. She will have become much stronger in the past few months and will have lost a lot of her innocence, since she saw two of her closet friends brutally killed.

3. Weiss will be in Atlas confined to the Schnee estate grounds and forced by her father to retire as a Huntress. This way Papa Schnee and mould her into the pe fact heiress, to that end he has band Winter from the mansion, using the fact that she is Ironwood's subordinate as an excuse. Eventually Weiss will have to get her confidence back and break free from her father to become the person she wants to become.

4. Blake will be in Vacuo, living off the grid and on the run from the White Fang. No allies, no one to target, no way to trace her. She will still be wracked with guilt over what happened to Yang and the actions of the White Fang in general, and the fact that she ran away again. At some point she will start to take on the White Fang, Batman style.

5. Yang will still be in a funk over what happened. After all in the span of 24 hours she had her reputation ruined, her arm removed, and her school essentially destroyed. She I'll be emotionally scarred and bitter, not to mention she have to deal with the people gossiping about her when they think she's not listening, things like "she got what she deserved" or "serves her right" and let's not forget about the A-Holes who make sick arm jokes to her face. Eventually she will get her fire back, probably by the last episode, and ask Junior if he new anyone who could get her a new arm.

6. The post credit scene of the volume will be Cinder waking up from a coma induced by Ruby's powers.

7. Since the world believes that Atlas was responsible for the Fall of Beacon, the other Kingdoms will be very suspicious of them. Maybe even demand that Ironwood be held responsible for "His" actions.

8. Jaune will still be hurting from Pyrrha's death, but he will grow stronger motivation by her death. He will also have an understandable grudge against Cinder.

9. Neopolitan will be stalking Team RNJR, specifically Ruby, because she thinks that Ruby killed Roman.

10. Team SSSN will have a larger role then they have had before.

11. Mercury and Emerald will be working to further the distrust between the kingdoms in their own ways, to plunge the world into war.

12. Ironwood will keep his job, if for no other reason then the fact that Atlas cannot afford to loose a talented general like him, in wake of the current crisis. Though he will probably have a committee holding everything he does under a microscope.

13. The identities of the remaining three maidens will be revealed, and I will maintain my belief in the theory that Winter is the Winter Maiden until proven otherwise.

14. Qrow is now the leader of Ozpin's brotherhood, possibly alluding to the fact that the Scarecrow was made King of the Emerald City after the Wizard left in the Oz books.

15. Team RNJR will know about the Maidens, ether during the time skip or in the volume itself.

PS

Just waiting on that "punch through the internet".
