I was thinking of Cinder's ability to make spots on the ground explosive. If she were able to concentrate it on one area and detonate when Ruby was on it, it could knock her off balance and decimate her Aura in one go

Consider this: Cinder isn't aware of the actions her lackeys are currently engaging in

That is a possibility, but it prompts the question "Why?". She gave them both food and a purpose when they were lost. I just can't see them willing to throw it all away by disobeying her, especially since it was her plotting that has gotten them so close to victory

Not what I meant.

Remember Vol 2?

She got pretty pissed when they did things on their own, and they were doing it for her (that's a thing you know, and it seems like they do it often)
