The guards look down and shine a flashlight into the shaft but though they hear some noises, they don't see David and Megan. David accidentally blasts a hole in the wall and discovers a room which the two of them enter. David discovers it is not on the building schematic and Megan says it is locked with a code secured door. They remove some data chips and documents then proceed on their original mission, though they have to rush now since Prof and Abraham had to kill some guards. They grab some power cells, and take lab coats to use as disguises for their escape. Their explosives start blowing up, and David and Megan enter the corridor wearing the lab coats and fake security badges, hoping to escape in the chaos. Megan tells a guard that an Epic was using energy blasts. The Reckoners also detonate explosives that distributed leaflets proclaiming their invented Epic, Limelight, was calling out Steelheart. After the building is evacuated, the Reckoners set off the remaining explosives, but the building doesn't collapse until David detonates his pen activated bomb.
== Part Three ==
=== Chapter 23 ===
Prof informs the crew that they were successful in their disinformation campaign about Limelight since there are rumors spreading throughout Newcago about the imaginary Epic. He also says that the data chips they obtained at the Power Plant contained information about a propaganda campaign that Steelheart is apparently running to make himself seem evil. The Reckoners debate about the potential negative effects of killing Steelheart on the city of Newcago. Abraham tells David that he is one of the [[Faithful]], a group of people who believe that good Epics will appear.
=== Chapter 24 ===
David seeks out Megan to continue their discussion about the ethics and realities of their plan to kill Steelheart. Megan says that Epics are a test on humanity to see how they would react to being given powers. Cody shows up and gives David a flashlight with a UV bulb in case Nightwielder discovers their hideout. David tells Megan and Cody that their assumptions about Firefight are incorrect, and that Firefight is really an illusion Epic, not a fire Epic, and shows them evidence to support this theory. Tia appears and says that the bank vault that David hid in has been located.
=== Chapter 25 ===
The Reckoner crew travel to where the surprisingly intact bank vault had sunk down to, via tunnels that they created with the tensors. David has flashbacks about that day, and finds his father's remains, turned to steel. David becomes convinced that it was his father, and not anything else contained in the vault, that was related to Steelheart's weakness. Despite this, they decide to search all the safety deposit boxes to look for clues about Steelheart.
=== Chapter 26 ===
The crew looks over the contents of the safety deposit boxes to try to determine if anything could have been the cause of Steelheart's weakness. They decide to keep the gold to fund their future activities. Abraham retrieves the gun that was used to shoot Steelheart, since it may still be in working order, and gives it to David. Prof feels that Steelheart is not reacting the way they want him to regarding Limelight, so he decides their next step is to take out Conflux.
=== Chapter 27 ===
Tia uses their city surveillance to find a convoy that might be transporting Conflux, and the rest of the crew goes to intercept it. Megan is nervous but relaxes after David says that he feels like a brick made of porridge. They intercept the convoy at a red light and determine with a dowser that there is a powerful Epic present. David makes eye contact with a woman who he had seen before, Nightwielder's assistant, but she didn't seem to recognize him. David states it might be a trap, and then Nightwielder himself flies out of the top of the limousine.
=== Chapter 28 ===
Nightwielder pursues their van, but David shines his UV flashlight at the Epic, who then flees in fear. The motorcyclists in the convoy start firing at the van, and an Enforcement helicopter shows up, but is shot down by Prof. Four more choppers show up, and the first one crashes down causing their van to collide with a building and stop moving. They determine that Conflux is still in the limousine. They abandon the van, and ride off on motorcycles that were in the cargo compartment. Cody and Abraham take their own cycles, and David rides shotgun with Megan. Abraham is hit by a bullet and Megan creates a diversion so that he can escape. Prof keeps shooting down helicopters and Enforcement reacts as if there is a major insurrection occurring. Megan ends up in a dead end alley but David uses the gauss gun to blow a hole in the wall in front of them.
=== Chapter 29 ===
Megan and David escape through the now demolished wall. Tia directs them to a building that leads to a tunnel in a flood gully. They encounter a helicopter en route and David shoots it down but falls off the cycle, but is protected from serious harm by his jacket. The gauss gun is shattered however. Cody is able to capture Conflux, who was tied up in the trunk of the limousine, and told to bring him to bolt-hole seven. Megan and David almost escape, but their cycle is blasted by gunfire and crashes.
=== Chapter 30 ===
David is ripped free of the cycle as his leg hits the ground, while Megan gets pinned under it as it hits the wall of the tunnel. David is surprised to still be alive. David sees two Enforcement men exit an alcove they'd driven past. He gets angry when he hears one of them chuckle, knowing they assumed David and Megan were dead or no longer had any fight in them. He uses his pistol to shoot four shots into the pair of them. Not thinking to check to make sure he had killed them, he gets up, though he is in pain. He checks on Megan, who is badly injured with a broken arm, and had blood the length of her side. He checks to see if she's breathing still, and then checks for a pulse, which he finds. Tia warns him that Enforcement know where he is and are converging on him. He decides he has to move Megan. He wraps his jacket around his injured leg, finding the pen detonator and blasting caps as he does so. Setting one of the caps on the fuel cell of the cycle, he picks Megan up, and starts to walk down the tunnel. Prof tells him that help is coming. David reaches the end of the tunnel, coming to an intersection, and can hear Enforcement coming. He uses the detonator, and hears shouts as the cycle explodes. He heads left at the crossroads, and walks for around five minutes before reaching a dead end. He finds some cover, and lays Megan down. Tia contacts him, but is interrupted when her position is threatened. Enforcement realizes David's down the end of the tunnel when Prof then tells David to try and use the tensor, even though it has been broken. He tries it as Enforcement calls out for him to surrender, and while he feels something, it doesn't work. Prof tells him to hold out. David tells Prof to go to Tia. Prof tells him Tia will be fine, and that David has to hold out a bit longer. David sees the officers slowly advancing towards him. He uses Megan's gun to make them scatter, though they then return fire at him. As he fires back at the officers, when he can, he talks to Megan. He apologizes for letting her down, saying she deserved to live, even if he didn't. He continues that he thinks he fell in love with her on the first day. He comments that a month ago, he would have just left her by the cycle, but he thanks her for making him care about something other than Steelheart. He prepares to go out firing his gun, beginning to stand as one of the soldiers yells 'fire', when the ceiling melts. Prof drops through, with Tensors on each hand. As the soldiers start firing, Prof uses the tensors to destroy the bullets as approach him. He runs at the soldiers, using the Tensors to disintegrate their armor as he attacks, cutting a sword out of steel in the middle of the fight. The fight is soon over, with the soldiers surrendering. Prof tells them that he is Limelight, and gives them a challenge to convey to Steelheart - he threatens to dismantle the city bit by bit unless Steelheart comes out and fights him. Prof turns to David, telling him forcefully to get Megan. David complies and follows Prof through a tunnel he makes in the ground.
== Part Four ==
=== Chapter 31 ===
Tia asks Abraham for more blood as she works to try and save Megan. While she had bandaged and stitched wounds, Megan had internal injuries that worried Tia. Abraham retrieves the blood and hooks it up to the equipment at Tia's request. Abraham and Tia wonder why the Harmsway doesn't work, commenting it was just like the tensors, which never worked for Megan either. David hears beeps of from the equipment monitoring Megan's pulse start to fade, and gets up to go get Prof. Tia tells him Prof can't help here. David sits again, closing Megan's eyes, before she then flatlines. Tia tells him that she's gone, that there was nothing more she could have done, and that even if she'd been able to work on her immediately after the crash, it still might not even have been enough. Prof appears, asking if Megan's gone. Tia nods, and so Prof tells them to pack up - they are abandoning the base, as it has been compromised. David covers Megan with a blanket, leaving her face exposed, and goes to pick up the body, determined to make sure her body is cared for, but Prof tells him to leave it. Prof tells David to focus on getting vengeance on Steelheart. He instructs David to gather his notes, and pack up the imager, that they're leaving in ten minutes, and destroying everything left behind.
They exit through a tunnel Prof cuts into the hideout, setting off a blast in the hideout, burning everything inside. An hour later, Tia drops back to talk to David about how he's doing. Not wanting to talk about Megan, he asks about Prof, why he seems different. Tia tells him that Prof has bad memories attached to the tensors, that he hates them and is mad with himself, not David. Eventually they reach the new bolt-hole, which is a lot smaller than the previous one. Cody meets them there, helping to carry the equipment up into the main chamber. As David sets up his bedroll to get some sleep, Tia suggests hooking him up to the Harmsway, but David tells her "I'll live", lies down, and begins to cry.
=== Chapter 32 ===
