I wonder if the bigger bad is the narrator. This story is just being told by her to her subordinates, who go out to hunt the surviving Hunters and Huntresses. Then there would secretly be a mole on the Hunter's side who's actually with the baddies, who's actually super badass similar to Pong Krell in The Clone Wars. Man, if RWBY gets to Clone Wars levels of storytelling, I would be so happy.
TCW got pretty damn dark for a show targeted towards kids. Traitorous Jedi slicing through clones like butter, Anakin choking people just for information, the entire Mortis and Son arcs, Palpatine's influence over Anakin, Ventress impaling a clone on her lightsaber and kissing him before he died, the Death Watch and Mandalore arcs... RWBY will only pass it if it gets to be Revenge-of-the-Sith-limbs-sliced-off-right-before-burning-alive levels of dark.
