'''Wayne'''
The [[Aunt Gin|owner]] of the [[New Seran#Copper Gate|hotel]] introduces the group to their suite. She becomes quite unnerved at their strange behavior (Wax ripping out windows, MeLaan talking about breast size, etc.) and Steris's list of calamities that may befall the hotel while they're there. (Steris insists that the staff be prepared.) Marasi and Wayne prepare to search graveyards for the missing spike, while the others prepare to go to the [[Kelesina Shores' party|party]].
=== Chapter 11 ===
'''Templeton'''
[[Templeton Fig]] admires his stuffed animal collection as he waits on word from the graveyard. The flames from his fire in the fireplace stop moving. The door of the room opens and the body of Dechamp is deposited onto the floor.
'''Wayne'''
Wayne takes off his disguise and asks Marasi how [[Marsh|
'''Wax'''
Wax plays around with the cube, burning steel, and they figure out that it somehow extends someone's Allomancy. Wax gives it back to Marasi because the cube's ability would be very handy with a Pulser. Wax remembers the gold bracelet and gives it to Wayne, who marvels that it is indeed a gold metalmind that he can use. Only he, as a Bloodmaker, can use it, so it's not definitive proof of the Bands of Mourning; however, it does suggest that Mr. Suit might be using Hemalurgy. MeLaan spots an innocuous-looking roadblock ahead, and Wax decides that they need to proceed on horseback.
They ride in, not encountering any patrols because the guarded area is so large. They come upon a large, nondescript building, guarded by soldiers and still under construction. Wayne tries to figure out a way in, and Steris agrees to stay behind with the horses. Wax and Wayne decide to use the "Spoiled Tomato" plan, which
'''Wayne'''
Wayne lands as quietly as possible (in rocks) and heals before he dies from the fall. He eludes some guards and approaches the building. He makes another guard "trip" over a wire, cutting off some floodlights and causing a commotion. Wax, Marasi, and MeLaan join him in the darkness and confusion. They sneak into the building and see a large [[Brunstell|ship]], damaged. They split up: Marasi and MeLaan are to search for the spike, Wax and Wayne for Mr. Suit.
=== Chapter 18 ===
'''Marasi'''
Marasi fights the pain that has now blossomed from her gunshot wound. Wax and Wayne make a desperate plan to escape the building, but in the meantime, Marasi is going off with the masked man. He pulls on something behind a panel in the wall and a rope ladder falls. They all get up the ladder into another compartment with bolted down chairs. The masked man puts on a different medallion and can suddenly speak their language. He gives each of them a medallion to strap on. It consists of an [[iron]] metalmind that anyone can fill. Then he instructs Wax to grip some straps and Push. The room is actually a separate [[Wilg|boat]], and Wax's Push lifts it into the sky.
=== Chapter 21 ===
'''Marasi'''
Marasi contemplates death, and she's embarrassed by her near nudity as Wax stops by to check on her. MeLaan heals the wound, ingesting and replicating Marasi's flesh so the patch will take. Wax and Marasi discuss what to do next. They have retrieved the spike and Telsin, but the real goal of the trip was to stop Suit. Marasi shows a map of the "second site" from the book she lifted from Irich's desk. Wax heard his uncle say he was headed there when he was eavesdropping at the party. He asks Marasi to talk to Allik and see what he knows. Allik recognizes the location (which he calls the

Steris is quite surprised to see her sister glowing and flinging people about. Allik is so cold, he has stopped shivering. Fortunately,

;Plot Summary
'''Edwarn'''
Suit rehearses what he is going to tell the "Series" about today's events. He enters the Hunters' ship and gives orders to leave immediately. The ship takes off, and he thinks about all the advantages of having this technology.
'''Jordis'''
[[Jordis]], the captain of the ship, tries to encourage her crew as they die of exposure in captivity. Suddenly, Allik shows up and hands out warming medallions. Steris comes into the tent and delivers a bunch of guns. They decide to fight even though they are weakened.
'''Wax'''
Wax flies up from the temple and sees Steris and Allik with the crew. He is tempted to simply take down the ship, but he is a lawman, not an executioner. He enters his uncle's compartment and notices that he is hiding metal in his mouth. Suit claims to have armed the bomb, so Wax taps zinc to think through all the possible solutions. Suit says he will disarm the bomb if Wax will drop the Bands and face off with him in a duel. He agrees, and Suit gives the order. Wax stows the Bands and removes all his metals except the aluminum gun.
'''Telsin'''
Telsin scrambles toward the small craft used by Wax and company. Wayne shows up to avenge his friend's death and shoots her.
'''Marasi'''
Marasi climbs up to the room with the broken glass and checks on MeLaan, who is now essentially a [[mistwraith]], but is at least alive. She goes outside and sees Wayne, who has just fired a shotgun and is now holding three spikes.
'''Wax'''
Suit draws his gun, and Wax Pushes himself toward him. They crash together, and Wax's reserves are gone; Suit is also a Leecher. Wax is out of steel but can still use his weight metalmind. They crash through the floor together, and Suit uses the hidden coin to Push onto the ground and land relatively safely. Then Wax punches his uncle and knocks him out.
'''MeLaan'''
MeLaan is desperate for food and warmth. She wants to hide. Something is very wrong. She feels something hard and metallic, and she absorbs it. Her ''self'' returns--a relief even with the holes in her memory. She forms eyes and sees Wayne.

;Plot Summary
'''Marasi'''
Marasi drinks some hot cocoa with Allik as they watch Wax bring the ship back with his enormous powers. The soldiers in the ship surrender. Suit is tied to the statue's spear, gagged and Leeched of metals. Jordis and Wax face off, each demanding possession of the ship and the Bands. Steris steps in, and they find a resolution: the [[Malwish]] can have the ship, the kandra will take the Bands, and trade will open up between the two peoples.
'''Wax'''
Wax checks the belt on the statue and verifies that it's just aluminum. He's glad to be rid of the Bands because they are so powerful as to be dangerous. They are mostly drained but can be recharged. Telsin has slipped away in the chaos, so Wax has a new quarry.

;Plot Summary
Wax and Wayne fly into Elendel on the ship. They talk about Wayne using a gun again. Wax asks if he knew that Telsin could heal, and he admits he saw her metalminds. Once he had MeLaan's spikes, he left her, giving her a second chance like Wax had given him. Wax compliments him but secretly wishes that he had killed her. He goes to Steris's room and finds her alone. He thanks her for all her help, although she still feels like baggage. They walk together to the bridge, and the ship lands on the top of [[Ahlstrom Tower]]. Wax wants the city to know about the ship. Allik removes his mask and offers it to Marasi, which causes quite a stir among the crew. Marasi reverently accepts the mask, and they all disembark. Governor [[Claude Aradel|Aradel]] reports that he is under heavy criticism due to the events in New Seran, and he hopes that the ship might actually distract from that. Wax asks MeLaan to explain about the Bands and leaves with Steris. He asks her to marry him--not for political reasons, but for love and companionship. She accepts.

;Plot Summary
'''Marasi'''
Marasi has been working well with Constable-General [[Reddi]] the last two weeks, getting information from the soldiers about the Set. Suit has not talked. Aradel prepares for war with the outer cities.
'''Edwarn'''
As Suit waits in his cell, a being with red eyes visits him. He is impressed that Suit has not revealed any information. Nevertheless, the Set doesn't need him anymore. They have decided to simply end life on this sphere due to the technological advancements that have been made. The visitor engages a bomb, killing them both.
'''Wax'''
The explosion awakens Wax, who is still honeymooning with Steris in the penthouse. Drewton has carefully laid out all of Wax's possessions recovered from the hotel in New Seran, and Wax sees the strange coin given to him by the beggar. He picks up the coin and notices that it is composed of
