Sourcefield chases David, yelling that she doesn't believe that he killed Steelheart.
=== Chapter 4 ===
=== Chapter 13 ===
David tries to aim his rifle but Obliteration knocks it aside and grabs David by the throat. David manages to stick the bomb to the Epic, but he ignores it, removing David's phone and ear piece and kicking his gun away. He then questions David about killing Steelheart and
=== Chapter 14 ===
Val berates Mizzy for abandoning David, and she says she went to rescue some people who were trapped in a burning building. They discuss the attack, and Regalia's projection appears saying she recruited Obliteration by offering to let him destroy Babilar. Tia snaps at her, and Regalia threatens to destroy the boat they are in, before relenting at the mention of Prof. She says that she doesn't know how much longer she can hold back from wiping out the city and vanishes. They go to another building and dump soap in the water to obscure it and prevent Regalia from scrying through or manipulating it. They then surface a submarine.
=== Chapter 15 ===
=== Chapter 17 ===
David wakes up somewhat disoriented, and after passing through the atrium which seems to be under fifty feet of water above the skylight, follows distant voices to find Prof and Tia talking about Regalia. Tia and David think that Regalia is trying to resist acting evil, but Prof thinks it is a ploy. David argues in favor of saving Regalia, but Prof thinks that David is really thinking of Megan instead, and Prof says that despite his former friendship with Regalia that she doesn't deserve mercy for all the death she has caused despite the personality warping that is inflicted on Epics who use their powers. Prof says that he will put Regalia down one way or the other and
The Reckoners convene in another room with a glass wall facing the water of Long Island Sound to plan the battle to bring down Regalia. She isn't a High Epic, so they think that their main obstacle to killing her is mainly locating her using triangulation based on their estimates of five miles for the range of her abilities. Tia reveals that she and Prof knew Regalia in the past and Valentine is upset that they never mentioned this before. Prof says that Regalia probably keeps one base and stays there, unlike Steelheart who moved around a lot to elude his enemies. They decide to try to lure out Regalia to pinpoint her location by going after Obliteration and [[Newton]], the Epic gang leader and Regalia's lieutenant. Valentine mentions that they had a plan for taking out Newton, but it involved a device called a [[spyril]] that is now broken. Prof disperses the crew except David to remind him to focus on Regalia as the primary target. David ponders that his attitude toward Epics has changed after meeting Prof, [[Conflux]] and Megan, and thinks about trying to capture and keep an Epic's powers neutralized to restore their personality as a proof of concept for saving Regalia or Megan at a future time.
=== Chapter 20 ===
David tries to spy on Newton but Mizzy dissuades him from drawing Newton's attention and they discuss the Epic while dancing. David speaks of his research into Epic weaknesses and how it felt to kill Steelheart. Mizzy says she admires David's dedication and that she wants to kill Megan for killing her friend Sam, and David doesn't reply but he does decide he needs to clear Megan's name as soon as possible.
=== Chapter 21 ===
=== Chapter 24 ===
David practices with the spyril, which requires a high degree of coordination to master due to the separate controls for propulsion and balance. He manages to jet just above the water at high speeds and shows off this ability though Mizzy jokes that he looked like a porpoise when doing this. They stop to eat lunch, and talk about fighting Epics. David reviews a photo of Obliteration, and calls Val to keep an eye out

=== Chapter 28 ===
David and the Babilaran refugees are in a warehouse the day after Prof rescued them. The refugees have agreed not to say they didn't see anything and not to return to the city for at least a month.
David lies to Val about how the people were saved to hide the fact that Prof is an epic. He tries to engage her in friendly conversation but fails repeatedly before getting her to talk about a prior operation he'd heard rumors of. After finally having a successful conversation with Val, David goes to the supply shed to check on Prof, who has been hiding in it.
=== Chapter 32 ===
=== Chapter 38 ===
David isn't harmed as the bullets are blocked by a forcefield from Prof, and he tells Val to stand down. Prof says that he knows David was talking with Firefight and tells Val to text Megan a lie about what happened and for Megan to not approach since Prof is there. Prof says he is disappointed in David, and reveals that he has been eavesdropping on David's conversations since he bugged David's mobile. Prof heals David's leg and says that he used David as bait for Megan and that he has a recording of Firefight shooting Sam. David tries to flee to warn Megan but isn't able to escape using the spyril since Prof removed the motivator.
=== Chapter 39 ===
David spends a day brooding that he will be kicked out of the Reckoners. The following day, David talks with Prof as the others plan to go on a mission to take down Newton. David wants to join the mission, but Prof says it will take time for the Reckoners to regain trust in David, and acknowledges that David may not be ready to trust him after being used as bait. Prof says that he plans to use a forcefield to deal with Obliteration, and that he will have to deal with the side effects of great usage of his power to do so. David implores Prof to verify if Megan was telling the truth about her weakness to show that she is trustworthy. Prof loses his temper and attacks David, choking him. He says that David shouldn't have concealed his communication with Megan and that he sees this as a personal betrayal. David speculates that Regalia may be resisting the darkness and urges Prof to reconsider his plans. Prof replies that kind of optimistic talk is bad for him because it encourages him to use his powers carelessly. Prof tells David about the team of superheroes he and Regalia attempted to form during the early days of Calamity. He explains that none of them other than himself were able to hold back the darkness and that he eventually was forced to kill one of his former friends. Prof then says that the Reckoners are going to trap and kill Megan. David begs him not to go through with it and tries to explain his theory about a pattern among Epic weaknesses. Prof ignores this and traps David in the conference room using a forcefield. A few minutes later, David sees the sub leave the base.
== Part Four ==
=== Chapter 40 ===
David worries that the Reckoners will kill Megan. He finds a gun, and a datapad outlining the agenda to trap and kill Newton. The datapad also has a video showing Sam trying to shoot Megan while she isn't threatening him, and her drawing her gun quickly enough to shoot Sam first, in self-defense. David realizes that Regalia witnessed this incident. David review all the recent events in his mind, trying to figure out what Regalia is up to, and thinks that she has manipulated events for some time and may have set a trap for Prof. David decides to shoot a hole in the underwater plate glass window.
=== Chapter 41 ===
David shoots a small hole in the window, causing a small leak, but is still locked in the room. He gathers some of the water in a drawer and calls out to Regalia, identifying himself and his location, and she sends an avatar of herself to talk to him, demonstrating that her powers have a greater range than they thought. David offers to serve Regalia and says that in exchange he wants Megan protected. Regalia breaks the plate glass window and tows David to the surface to a solid pedestal of water which carries him toward Babilar.
Regalia says that Calamity is an Epic and that he can be viewed through a telescope. She says that she told Calamity that David would make a great Epic and that she would enjoy watching him transform into something he hates. David is raised up on a pillar of water and Calamity appears there as a bright red light. David feels an electric sensation as Calamity transforms him. David is lowered back to sea level and Regalia says that David will receive thematically appropriate powers, possibly the same as the Epic who powered the spyrils. Regalia demands that David demonstrate his new powers. David vows to kill himself before giving into the darkness and reaches out to the water.
=== Chapter 42 ===
David touches the water and imagines what the city might have been like as it was flooded, and relives his fears of drowning though they are less intense than usual and he dismisses them. A voice tells him to seize his new powers but he refuses and the tingling feeling vanishes. Regalia thinks that David has powers now but he glibly denies that he changed, and asks Regalia if the powers are tied to Epics' fears. Regalia vanishes and he falls into the water, and then swims to a nearby building.
He ponders the implications of what happened, and thinks that Calamity is a gifter Epic. He asks some Babilarians for directions to Finkle Crossway to where the ambush is taking place, then picks a place along the planned route to intercept the other Reckoners to warn them. David ends up in a bazaar where he trades his sneakers for a cloak, sandals and a knife. David goes to a tavern to wait for Newton and she appears shortly thereafter. A couple of random people threw fruits at Newton, and she sends her henchmen to find them. Looking at the crowd, David spots Mizzy in disguise, standing near him.
=== Chapter 43 ===
David sneaks up behind Mizzy and holds his sheathed knife to her back and tells her to not move. He turns off her earpiece, but she grapples him and throws him to the ground, then punches him in anger. Mizzy goes for her mobile but David knocks it away from her off the rooftop. They stop fighting to hide as Newton searches the area. They overhear a telephone conversation that Newton is having with Regalia which indicates that she may be aware of the Reckoner's trap. David tells Mizzy about his conversation with Regalia and that the Epic already knew about the ambush, and that he is working with Firefight but that Firefight killed Sam in self-defense, and that Firefight saved David from Obliteration. Mizzy says that they are supposed to kill Epics since they are all evil. David thinks that he used to have the same attitude that Mizzy has, before he knew about Prof's powers. David tells Mizzy that they kill criminals, not Epics. David says they need to warn the others, and Mizzy gives him the spyril.
=== Chapter 44 ===
Mizzy questions why she is helping David, and he explains that the mission will go badly if she doesn't. Mizzy tells David where Prof plans to kill Megan, and that no one is currently watching Obliteration. David asks Mizzy to check on Obliteration. Mizzy asks David if Prof is an Epic and he says yes and that he wants to show that Prof can be a good Epic. Mizzy gives David a gun and they each take a walkie-talkie to stay in touch.
=== Chapter 45 ===
David goes upstairs and finds two men who were killed by Newton's gang and left with fruit stuck into their mouths. David sets off over the water using the spyril, and stays in touch with Mizzy via walkie-talkie. Regalia sends an avatar to question David about his ability to refuse his Epic transformation, and says she doesn't like people who upset her plans. She tries to use her water manipulation to stop David from reaching Prof, but he is able to use the spyril to evade her attacks. Eventually, David enters a building to hide, but Regalia starts to flood it. David turns to Dawnslight for assistance, and suddenly the building goes dark as the fruits on the vines stop glowing, allowing David to escape Regalia's notice. Dawnslight sends a note for David to hurry up and stop Regalia. David gets a warning and hides just as Newton appears, using a cup of water to communicate with Regalia, who is having Newton hunt down David. Mizzy radios to David that Obliteration has vanished, and was replaced by a mannequin with floodlights shining on it. David asks Mizzy to turn off the lights to alert the Reckoners, and thanks Dawnslight for his assistance.
=== Chapter 46 ===
David heads for Prof and is again attacked by Regalia. David heads to a building roof and is also attacked by Newton, who is wielding a katana and a gun, but David evades her and heads back to the water and Regalia's grasp. Regalia tries to pull David under, but he uses the spyril to vacuum up the water and escape back to a building. David tries to shoot Newton but the bullets are deflected by her ability. Regalia questions David but he ignores her, and irritates her by draining her tendrils of water with the spyril. Plants then appear, summoned by Dawnslight, draining a lot of Regalia's water tendrils, and Regalia orders Newton to finish off David. David compliments Newton, realizing that is her weakness, and is able to negate her abilities and kill her. Regalia reiterates how annoying David is, and says that Prof already killed Megan while they were fighting to try to make Regalia appear. David says she is lying, but Regalia points out the trap location is on fire.
=== Chapter 47 ===
David leaves to go to the building where Prof faced down Megan. Prof is there, and says that Megan died trying to save David from a faked threat, and that he now believes that he was wrong about her, and that the attempt to lure Regalia failed. Prof says that he can hold back the darkness if Megan could, and asks David to take away some of his power, and then gifts some power to David. Tia relays a message from Mizzy that Obliteration vanished, and Val says she located him. David says it is a trap, but Prof says he has to stop Obliteration anyway.
David goes to find Megan, with his gifted forcefield as protection from the fire, though he is confused why the hot air isn't scorching his lungs. David finds Megan's body, beginning to burn from the flames, and carries it out to another building. David thinks that he wants Megan to come back but worries that would mean she was lying. Then he finds a remote control in her hand and uses it, and realizes that she rigged a remote firing gun to kill herself before she burned up, allowing her resurrection power to not be negated. David feels optimistic about getting his Gottschalk back and about Megan being reborn.
=== Chapter 48 ===
David and Mizzy update each other on events. David heads back for the base but runs into Obliteration who quotes scripture and calls David slayer of angels. David tries to shoot Obliteration but misses as the Epic teleports. Obliteration blasts David but his gifted healing ability saves him and Obliteration sees this and teleports away but then returns. David says Regalia is as bad as Steelheart and Obliteration says he will end her eventually as part of their arrangement, and that he wasn't told that David was turned into an Epic also. David tries to distract Obliteration by remotely firing the gun that Megan setup, but it doesn't work. Obliteration teleports next to David again, and David decides to grab him instead of shooting.
=== Chapter 49 ===
David shoots Obliteration while holding onto him, and they both teleport into a dark windowless room. David grabs Obliteration's eyeglasses and backs away as Obliteration draws his sword. David asks about Obliteration's nightmares which gives the Epic pause, and he asks how David knows about the nightmares. David explains his nightmare theory, and Obliteration gets a revelation from this and thanks David for the secret, and tells David to say hi to Regalia, then teleports out. David leaves the room to explore the building that he is in, and finds old posters including one with a band's name and a picture of hands holding a glowing fruit. David finds a room with two hospital beds, one with a sleeping
man hooked up to tubes and the other with an older woman, Regalia, watching some monitors. A doctor who was examining the man sees David and leaves. One of the monitors displays Prof, Val and Exel in a glowing room. David says that Obliteration brought him there and that he figured out how Obliteration was getting orders from her to find him. Regalia says she is very sick and that her powers can't save her. David figures out the sleeping man is Dawnslight, and Regalia says she doesn't understand why Calamity granted powers to a man who was comatose since his childhood, and who has turned Babilar into his dream. Regalia says she has cancer and weeks to live, and David asks why she cares about Prof. The monitor shows a device and Regalia explains that other Epics can gift their powers, and David realizes the device is a bomb made from Obliteration's DNA. Regalia says David assumed wrong about her plans for Prof, and detonates the bomb remotely. The bomb blows up but the explosion is contained by Prof who uses a forcefield on it, though he had to expend a great amount of power to do so. Regalia then explains that she wanted a successor.
=== Chapter 50 ===
David yells at Regalia and watches Prof on the monitor as he gives into the darkness and kills Val and Exel with forcefields, as High Epics at first usually go after those who know them best. Angered, David stabs Regalia with Obliteration's sword, killing her. On the monitor, where Prof is, a similar bank of monitors appears, one of which has a map to where Regalia's headquarters in New Jersey is. David notices a video camera and realizes that his location is on a monitor where Prof is, and that Prof would be going after him next.
=== Chapter 51 ===
David tries unsuccessfully to waken Dawnslight. David realizes he will have to face Prof eventually and decides not to put it off. David climbs to the roof of the house he was on, and in the early morning light, sees the water receding from Manhattan. David contemplates his role in Prof turning evil and thinks he isn't totally innocent even though it was Regalia's plan. Prof appears, using a forcefield to levitate himself. David holds out his pendant and says he believes in Prof, but Prof responds by enclosing a forcefield around David to kill him. David is suddenly outside the forcefield before it compresses. A bright light appears and explodes around them, and is revealed to be Megan. Megan puts Prof into his own forcefield twice, and Prof shows fear suddenly. Megan and David teleport to a house nearby, and David watches as Megan collapses and Prof flies off. Megan says that she doesn't feel like killing David and moans that the secret is the power of love. Megan summons some clothing and David explains that she took control over the darkness by facing her fears when she tried to rescue David.
== Epilogue ==
David and Megan return to Babilar, and Megan says the roots from Dawnlights plants are holding up the buildings and keeping them from collapsing. David explains his Epic fears theory, comparing it to oatmeal on pancakes, and Megan says that David has been saying similes, not metaphors. Mizzy shows up, saying she survived due to a message from Dawnslight, and gives another message to David that says to dream good dreams. David implores Mizzy and Megan to not shoot each other, and says they have a lot of work to do.
