'''''Firefight''''' is the second book in ''[[The Reckoners]]'' series by [[Brandon Sanderson]].{{sots ref|2013}} As such it is not part of the [[Cosmerecosmere]].
 
It is set in [[Babylon Restored]].
The book begins in the middle of a fight against [[Sourcefield]], an [[Epic]] with powers of electricity and teleportation. Her weakness is revealed to be [[Wikipedia: Kool-Aid| Kool-Aid]], which the [[Reckoners]] use to negate her powers. By throwing water balloons filled with Kool-Aid at her, the Reckoners are able to weaken her powers, but not negate them completely. She is defeated when lured into a trap where she is locked in a bathroom as it fills with Kool-Aid from above. As soon as the Kool-Aid gets in her mouth, her powers are completely negated. David shoots her, but is haunted by her look of complete desperation and fear.
 
After Sourcefield is defeated, they discover that she was sent from Babylon Restored. [[Prof]], [[Tia]], and [[David]] set out to investigate. They meet up with a team in Babylon Restored consisting of [[Val]], [[Mizzy]], and [[Exel]]. The team has been in Babylon Restored for two years, and they had recently lost their point man, [[Sam (Reckoner)|Sam]], to [[Firefight (Epic)|Firefight]].
 
Babylon Restored is what remains of [[Wikipedia: New York City| New York City]]. It is completely flooded and people live on the rooftops of the buildings that stick up out of the water. Strange mysteries surround the city. Plants grow in the top floors of the buildings and produce fruit that glows at night. All of the spray paint in the city, both old and new, glows with a supernatural light. The people who live in Babylon Restored attribute these mysteries to "[[Dawnslight]]." They believe Dawnslight to be a god, and they frequently pray to him.
