Steelheart

David confirmed the shot hit Steelheart, but the Epic wasn’t hurt. Prof orders phase two: trying to hit Steelheart with friendly crossfire. Enforcement pursues Cody and, miraculously, Nightwielder flies straight toward David, who scrambles to escape. To the Reckoners’ confusion, Enforcement knows exactly where to strike the UV floodlights concealed around the stadium. Tia speculates that the enemy somehow observed their preparations. A sharpshooter aims at David, forcing Abraham to take down the soldier and reveal his position. David flees beneath the stands with Nightwielder in pursuit. He uses his UV flashlight to spot Nightwielder, but straight ahead, his light instead falls on Megan.

Before he can process Megan’s appearance, Nightwielder’s trademark shadowy tendrils strike at David, who dodges until he realizes that Nightwielder must be in sight to attack him. He discovers the Epic partway through the wall and chases him away with UV light. David reports over the comms that he saw Megan alive, but Tia reminds him that he likely just saw Firefight’s illusion of Megan. Meanwhile, Prof has emerged to combat Steelheart directly, tensors over his hands.
