Megan is dead
There's some details and nuance I didnt understand because I was sobbing uncontrollably.
Ch 32 pg 379
Confluence is a prisoner, always has been. He's a slave steelheart uses to power his city. His name is Edmund and mostly he gifts his power to other people and they actually go out and power stuff. He can also ungift it. They tell him to do.so and the power goes out in the city.
Ch 33 pg 388
Edmond has been a slave to other epics since a month after he got his power. Some of his former masters were angry at him because he can't gift his power to other Epics, just people. Steelheart wasn't bothered by this. He made great use of Edmond .
They decide they're gonna do this confrontation with steelheart even though they don't know his weakness. They've got a lot of ideas and they're gonna try them all.
Ch 34 pg 402
They are gonna fight steelheart at soldier field. David is tensoring through some shallow tunnels so they can hide explosives to booby trap steelheart. Doc comes to appologize for how he acted with the tensor and Megan's death and what not. As part of that appologize he let's David ask one question. Turns out Prof was a 5th grade science teacher before all this.
He didnt invent any of the stuff they use. Doc is just good at using it to kill epics.
They've also got UV lights setup incase night Weilder shows up.
Ch 35 pg 415
They light off a bunch of fireworks to get steelhearts attention. A ton of enforcers show up and position in the seats of the stadium. Im imagining theyre all in the lower section.
David is up in the nose bleeds. He sees a gold person for a second. He tells the team and they are dismissive.
Prof gets on the loud speaker and asks if steelheart is afraid to face him.
Steelheart and night Weilder and firefight show up.
The first part of the plan is to just shoot steelheart in the hopes his weakness is something from the vault, which is scattered around the middle of the field . Cody is gonna take that shot.
Ch 36 421
That didn't work.
Even worse, nightweilder immediately makes a bee line for David. David runs for it and in running he finds a steel Megan.
Ch 37 pg 426
David's situation is worse than we thought as firefight is doing illusions to confuse David's even more.
Doc is somehow holding his own against steelheart.
David thinks he figures out why the epics are a couple steps ahead of them. He thinks they have Megan's mobile and have been listening in on all their mobile chatter.
Also, they tested out both the true believer and friendly fire theories and steelheart is unharmed.
So dad's gun is the only remaining hope.
Unfortunately, David is already up to his ears in epics and is gonna have a heck of a time getting to steelheart to shoot him with his dad's gun.
A Megan's illusion talks to david. David grabs its arm. He swears its real. But then there's an explosion.
Ch 38 pg 438
David gets on the mobile and Cody tells him he's going to come for him. David gets an idea to use the idea that the epics might have Megan's mobile so he does some disinformation. He tells Cody to meet him in the closest bathroom. But instead he makes himself a hole to hide in. What he sees is Megan in a pile of rubble crying for help. Then nightwielder shows up and David kills him to death.
Megan thanks David for killing nightwielder. She never liked him.
Megan is firefight.
But she seems to have brain damage or multiple personalities or something cause one second she's talking like she's an evil mastermind and the next like she's Megan, but a little confused.
Ch 39 pg 446
Tia has ordered a withdrawal. Abraham is carrying Cody to the extraction point. But David just cant stomach the idea of leaving without trying to kill steelheart with his dad's gun.
Ch 40 pg 454
It doesn't work
Steelheart makes a great speech about something I forget. It's intended purpose is to draw out Prof. It works, steelheart kills him easily.
All of a sudden David has Kaiser Sose esque realization about steelheart. Only people that aren't afraid of him can hurt him. That's why he does everything he does. If everyone is scared of him, he can't be hurt.
It seems he's a day late and a dollar short here. Steelheart picks up David's dad's gun and shoots David with it.
Unbeknownst to steelheart the detonater is in the gun barrel. So steelheart is setting off the bomb. He and David are blown to smithereens.
Ch 41 pg 461
