Making use of a large amount of dynamite smuggled alongside him in the Breaknaught, Waxillium fights his way through the Vanishers’ hideout, losing Vindication in the fray. Successfully springing a trap made specially to capture Hundredlives, Wax is then forced to flee when the outlaw opts to blow himself up with a personal explosive, rather than be captured.
Escaping into the mists, Waxillium briefly experiences a conversation with [[Harmony]], culminating in the realization that Harmony worked behind the scenes to orchestrate the delivery of Wax’s old, lost weapons to the Vanishers’ hideout, just for this moment.{{book ref|mb4|18}}. Newly re-armed, Wax locates and rescues Sterris, killing numerous members of the Vanishers gang and destroying their hideout with a tremendous feat of metalborn power.
As the building collapses, several surviving Vanishers, led by the now fully-healed, Miles Hundredlives, hold Marasi at gunpoint.
Refusing to freeze up and lose another woman’s life to the same kind of standoff, Wax calls for Wayne to create a speed bubble. Firing at the Vanisher through the speed bubble, Wax compensates for the unavoidable veering of the time-slowed bullet by firing a second time, in an incredibly aimed shot which strikes his first bullet and causes it to ricochet directly into the thug’s head.{{book ref|mb4|19}}
