The chapter starts with Oscar and Ozpin surrounded by an army of spider. "Torch is going out." We gotta find a way outta here fast. Stay close." They frantically look around and Oscar sees a big hole in the wall up above.

"Wait. Up there!"

"Great thinking, Oscar!" Ruby exclaims.

The duo go over to it while staying in the light as gets dimmer. Oscar crouches down as Ozpin sets the torch down.

"Hurry, guys!" Jaune urged, worried.

Oscar boasts Ozpin up to the hole and Ozpin pulls him up just as the torch goes out. They start running down the tunnel the hole leads to. The spiders swarm up through the hole and chase after them. More spiders come out of smaller holes on the wall as they pass them.

"Jesus Christ, they're coming from everywhere!" Ozpin shouts in panic. Suddenly, he falls on his knees, exhausted.

"Oz, no! No time to get tired!" Qrow shouts, frantically.

"Oz!" Oscar up to him, helping him back up. "Come on, we gotta go! Go! Go!" He shouts. He runs but then trips.

"Oscar no!! Get up!!" Ruby cried out in worry.

"Oscar!" Ozpin screams as the treasure hunter gets back up and continues to run away from the spiders. The duo run through a doorway and close the door blocking the spiders. They stop to catch their breath.

Sun sighed with relief. "Thank oum that's over."

Suddenly, Oscar and Ozpin then see the spiders crawling out of a hole above the door. "Oh, God, they're coming through the ceiling!" Ozpin yells as they take off again through a hallway. "C'mon run!"

"You got be fucking kidding me right now!!" Yang cursed, annoyed and concerned.

"My God, these things are fast!" Oscar yells as they reach a room with a ledge and climb up it. They enter a tower with a spiral staircase and run as fast as they can up it. They reach the top where there's an open window.

"Come on, Oscar! Up here!" Ozpin urged as they climb up to the window as the spiders reach the top of the stairs. "Jump!" 

They jump out onto the balcony around the top of the tower. Due to being in the sunlight, the spiders don't follow them out. They frantically swipe their bodies. "Get it off! Get off!"

"Holy shit, that was fucking close." Coco says, relieved.

"Yeah, I was almost sure those spiders would catch up to them." Velvet said, nodding.

"All right, you clear?" Ozpin asked, looking around Oscar's body to make sure nothing was on him. Thankfully, he was okay. "How about me?"

Oscar looks around Ozpin's body and sees no spiders "You're good. You okay?"

"Yeah, I think so." Ozpin replied, taking a deep breath.

Oscar pants, hands on his knees. "Alright, let's not go back in there."

"I think that's a good idea." The old man agreed.

"Obviously." Qrow said. "Those spider nearly killed you two."

"That explains what happened to the other guy." Tai says, referring to the dead agent from the last chapter.

Oscar and Ozpin find a hole in the balcony, leading back down to the upper floors. They go through and onto a walkway with an opening on the other side of the area. Ozpin looks for a way across but doesn't see one.
