The chapter begins a few days later, in Nepal, with Oscar driving a small jeep down a road in the city where all the temples are. Around him, buildings and vehicles are severely damaged with some even on fire. 

"Wow, when you said Taurus had a head start on us, you weren't kidding." Oscar said, speaking with Blake through the radio.

"Wait, Adam did all of this?" Kali questioned, shocked.

Ghira sighed in disbelief. "It wouldn't be the first time he did something so out of the ordinary."

"Well, he's had some help with the local guerillas. Their city's been on the brink of civil war for years. He just needed to throw a little gasoline on the fire." Blake replied.

"Charming." Oscar remarked, sarcastically.

"A little gasoline??" Winter questioned angrily. "How about 'dangerously huge' gasoline??"

"Yeah, well, at least all the chaos provides us some cover while he destroys the city looking for the right temple." Blake said as Oscar sees several armed bandits with guns running down the street in the opposite direction.

"Oscar? Hello?" Blake said, after a few seconds of silence.

"Is he okay??" Ruby asked, concerned.

"Yeah, still here." Oscar replied, regaining his focus.

"You're not having second thoughts, are you?" Blake asked.

"Who me? Never." Oscar replied.

"You sure??" Qrow questioned. "You black out for a second."

"Something tells me this journey isn't gonna be easy." Tai said, concerned.

"Good, 'cause I'm so ready to be done with these clown. You got a map?" Blake asked.

Oscar digs into his pocket and pulls the map out. "Yeah."

"I'll meet you in the old market. It's pretty quiet over there." Blake said.

"You got it." Suddenly, a big armored truck appears from behind turns around the corner and starts chasing Oscar. He sees it and grew worried. "Uh-oh. I got company."

"Oh no." Ruby said, worried.

"Oh, great. Can you lose them?" Blake asked.

"I think it might be too late for that." Oscar said just as the truck speeds up and rams the back of his jeep. "C'mon..."

"In the vehicle you're in, there's no way you can get away from it." Weiss said.

"Oscar, you all right?" Blake asked.

"I've been better." Oscar replied as the truck rammed into him again. "Shit!" He tries to turn the jeep but the truck rams into the side of it, making the jeep spin out of control and crash.

"Oh my god!" Summer exclaimed in shock.

"Is he okay?!" Maria asked, concerned.

Thankfully, Oscar crawls out of the wreckage in a narrow alley.

Ruby sighed, relieved. "Whew, he's okay."

Suddenly, the armored truck crashes through the wreckage and drives towards Oscar. He quickly gets off the ground and runs down the alley. He takes out his AK, he had, and shoots behind.

"Don't they ever give up!?" He exclaims, frantically.

"Don't think so." Nora said, shaking her head.
