Okay. So it was staged. Merc put up a great fight. Got the crowd on his side and this for the ultimate slap in the face, plays the sympathy card of a fallen hero cut down by an overzealous foe. *nods* Okay I see what they're doing. Cinder set this fight up BECAUSE Yang is their powerhouse. Remove the powerhouse with this, Weiss is ruined due to the geyser, so that was lucky for them. And for Blake all she has to do is tell everyone she was an ex-WF member. BOOM. RWBY is down to one member. All others either under watch or injured.
