=== Chapter 1 ===
David sits in a tree stand outside the [[Knighthawk Foundry]] in West Virginia. [[Tia]] is missing since the events in [[Babilar]], so he's the lead for the team consisting of [[Megan Tarash|Megan]], [[Cody]], [[Missouri Williams|Mizzy]], and [[Abraham]]. Hunted by [[Jonathan Phaedrus|Prof]] and almost broke, this is the Reckoners' last desperate attempt to get equipment because Knighthawk refuses to deal with them. As they begin the infiltration, drones attack the team members from every direction, even coming out through a door on the forest floor itself. The door is jammed open by some
=== Chapter 2 ===
David sneaks through the tunnel towards the complex. Megan, over the radio, warns him to be careful since he doesn't have a complete infiltration suit on -- he will have a small heat signature. He tries some random corridors, hoping to grab something useful and get out quickly. Some drones approach and David ducks into an unlocked room. He finds out Abraham has also infiltrated from the roof, but the defenses are overwhelming; they need to get out soon. David takes in his surroundings and discovers he is in a room with dead bodies.

Just in time, David pulls back from the ambush. He retreats back down the hall to a more defensible position, then uses his gun's ability to fire around corners to take down some of the robots. He

David wakes up on a couch, mostly healed but exhausted. The man belonging to the voice is there talking to Megan and Abraham. He introduces himself as [[Dean Knighthawk]]. A mannequin sits nearby and expresses body language as he talks since he appears to be paralyzed.
===Chapter 8===
Knighthawk is picked up by his mannequin, and they walk down the hall, talking about the plan to turn Prof back. Knighthawk doubts it will work because

The rest of the team joins David and Megan as Knighthawk eats. Abraham asks Knighthawk for his harmsway, but it's the only one he has, and even though it isn't as good as Prof's version, he doesn't want to give it up. He instead offers to loan them the powers of Rtich. The motivator is hidden in a tub of potato salad. Knighthawk hides his good stuff in mundane places so robbers will grab useless stuff. He also offers a crystal grower, a useful item in the "city of salt,"

=== Chapter 12 ===
Kansas City has been destroyed by [[Obliteration]]. Knighthawk sends a photo of him holding a glowing device, so now he can destroy cities without warning. His apparent plan is to destroy all current and future Epics by simply killing everyone. The team decides to go after him next after dealing with Prof. David fiddles with the jar of mercury but can't get the
The people are refugees, fleeing Ildithia because of a power struggle between Limelight (Prof) and the resident Epic, Larcener. The team decides to enter the city mingled in with some refugees from Kansas City.

Prof strolls down the street with a green globe trailing behind him. It holds [[Stormwind (Epic)|Stormwind]], who is completely subdued inside the bubble. David manages to make contact with all the team members, all of whom are safe at the moment. Cody has his sights on Prof and feeds the video to the team. Prof yells for the resisting Epics to come out, and he reaches out and vaporizes an entire building, revealing an Epic with two machine guns. He fires at Prof, but he encloses him in another green bubble and crushes him, just like he did to [[Exel]] and [[Val]]. A minor Epic named [[Dynamo]] comes forward and bows, and Prof demands to know where Larcener is. Dynamo begins to lead him, but Prof first peers into a shipping crate that is partially open. He is heading in Mizzy's direction, and David decides to follow.
=== Chapter 15 ===
=== Chapter 17 ===
A few days have passed. The team has built a safe house with Knighthawk's crystal grower. David and Megan discuss Firefight's sudden appearance. She doesn't know if she inadvertently brought him through residual effects of her power. She's not really familiar with all that she can do because other Epics used to kill her because they feared her strange ability, so she laid low until Steelheart took her in. She fears that her reincarnated selves are really different people. David doesn't mind and compares her to the sunrise, always changing but beautiful. After they make out for a while, David finds the steel skull of Steelheart in Abraham's pack. He wonders if he would have tried to turn him instead of kill him if he knew then what he knows now. Abraham has also smuggled in an [[imager]]. David invites the team to take a walk to discuss plans.
=== Chapter 18 ===
David leads the planning discussion as the team walks through the city. They don't know Prof's weakness, and Megan can't necessarily create it, so it's difficult to plan what to do. David is disturbed by the uneasy peace of the city, maintained by armed groups divided along racial lines. They also discuss Larcener, who has a whole catalog of powers and is apparently lazy. They find a job hauling crates again. David tucks his old broken mobile that can still be tracked into a certain crate. They try to gain some
=== Chapter 19 ===
Larcener walks in unconcerned at their guns and claims that he simply wants to hide from Limelight. He demands a drink and is generally quite arrogant toward the group. David makes some demands on him for their allowing him to stay, and to their surprise, he agrees. He appears to be afraid despite displaying some rare and powerful abilities like dowsing
=== Chapter 20 ===
=== Chapter 21 ===
David and Abraham are disarmed and marched into the building to a room with no windows. Tia asks David to recount a conversation they had to verify that it's really him. She then asks how they found her, and they explain that they saw her unique brand of cola in the crate. And so did Prof. This spurs the whole group into action while Tia and David discuss what to do with Prof. Abraham convinces her that David's idea about facing your fears was a good theory and that they should try to bring him back. There's no way they can simply kill all of the Epics; they must try something different. A guard bursts into the room and reports to [[Carla]], apparently the one in charge of the [[Stingray Clan|family]], that the new Epic is on his way and their building is surrounded by a rival family. They prepare for battle, but Tia knows it is hopeless. She will give herself up to Prof to avoid bloodshed. She gives David a chip that contains her plans and tells him that Jon's weakness is his powers. When someone else uses his powers on him, it negates the rest of them. David promises to rescue her.
Down in the street, Tia is presented to Prof, and he puts her

Mizzy activates the imager to look at Tia's plan. She had planned for two teams to infiltrate Sharp Tower, the residence of Larcener now taken over by Prof. Unfortunately, it required lots of equipment that isn't exactly available, even if they could afford it. David decides the only way is to get Larcener to help them. He tells him that one of their team has been captured by Limelight and that he'll be paying them a visit soon. Larcener is extremely upset at the incompetence of the Reckoners. David says if he doesn't conjure up what they need, they'll leave the city, leaving Larcener to deal with Limelight. Larcener is forced to accept because he can't interfere and must stay hidden. He calls all humans evil and broken. David looks into his eyes and sees an infinite darkness

The team heads to Sharp Tower divided into two groups, one with David
=== Chapter 27 ===
Obliteration teleports over to David. He knows who he is despite the disguise. His goal is to destroy all human (and Epic) life, so he lets David go since their goals align for now. The chef comes back and demands the cupcakes, and Megan manages to put frosting on them permanently. Such use of her power brings the headache back right away. They quickly change into their formal wear and enter the party as guests. They stroll
=== Chapter 28 ===
Prof is planning with his assembled team of Epics. He instructs them not to kill Larcerner but to collect some of his tissue in a container just like the one David has. The lights go out again and Prof gets agitated for a moment. He points right at David and calls him over, but he only wants his cupcake. Abraham and Mizzy are almost to Tia, and the lights have to go out again, causing Prof to curse. They rescue Tia, but she

David starts to fall through a hole in the floor, but he grabs the edge and hauls himself up. Megan is busy concentrating on keeping Tavi in their world and shows worrying signs of Epic attitude. Prof and Tavi continue to fight, with Prof starting to get the upper hand. Their powers negate each other to some extent, so they both get wounded. Tia is still trying to get into Prof's office but can't get past a locked door. Eventually the battle gets to her and she enters through a broken wall. David manages to shoot Prof when Tavi's tensors temporarily negate his healing powers. He enters the thick of battle to collect

David searches desperately for some fire to bring Megan back and send Tavi away. He runs over to Tia to see if she has a lighter. Tavi is defeated; Prof looms over her. Megan turns an angry but pleading face at David. He shoots the generator, starting a fire. Megan rushes into the fire, burning

David wakes up terrified from a vivid nightmare. No one else is awake except for Mizzy (on watch), who has also repaired his mobile. He reads through the data from Tia via Knighthawk. There are some unsatisfactory pictures of the Epic Calamity and a video of Prof years ago when he was an enthusiastic science teacher. Mizzy comes in with a drone from Knighthawk. Inside is his harmsway. The rest of the crew assumes that once David has healed, they will be leaving the city. David convinces them to stay when he shows them the tissue sample from Prof. They can still make him face his own powers by replicating them and using them against him themselves. As Abraham hooks up the harmsway to David, David
=== Chapter 36 ===
David has been healed, mostly, and so has Megan, but she remains asleep, worrying David. He checks his mobile and finds dozens of messages from a bored Knighthawk. He offers a refreshed scan of Ildithia taken by his drone for their imager. David downloads it and loses himself for a while, flying around the city. Cody joins him, and he talks about his time as a cop. He regrets that so many people were hurt in the operation and suggests they fight Prof outside the city at a place they pick. Using his powers will definitely draw him to them. David examines the faces of the dead around Sharp Tower more carefully, and he realizes that Stormwind, the source of food for Ildithia and elsewhere, is among them. David proposes an operation to harvest her cells, but the probability of success is very low and the risk is enormous. Cody convinces him to drop the idea. Mizzy reports that Megan is awake. David immediately goes to her.

David manages to throw up a force field around Megan, then he vaporizes the weapons with tensor power, stopping the assault. Prof boasts that he had a plan to deal with Megan, unlike David's reckless behavior. They argue and fight again, and this time Prof is able to vaporize one of the gloves and knock David over.
