During Vin's final battle with all of Ruin's [[Feruchemy|Feruchemically enhanced]] [[Steel Inquisitors]] above [[Kredik Shaw]] in the abandoned [[Luthadel]], [[Marsh]] tore out Vin's earring, with Kelsier using all of his strength to distract Ruin and help push Marsh's last vestige of willpower to rebel. Kelsier was already held under Preservation's [[Intent]], and thus relinquished his hold on the power, becoming a [[Sliver]], knowing Vin would still be able to override the Intent for a time.{{book ref|msh}} Her body broken under the assault, Vin finally drew in the full power of Preservation, allowing her to nearly destroy all of the Inquisitors (save Marsh), and flatten Kredik Shaw, before fully Ascending.{{book ref|mb3|73}}
Ruin sent his massive [[koloss]] army to attack the Pits, but Vin was able reach Elend, direct him to the Pits, and help him realize the truth behind the [[Mistfallen]] battalion: they were seers, [[misting]]s able to burn atium. Thus began the [[Battle of Hathsin]], and Vin watched as Elend and most of his men died, holding off the koloss army, as they burned away the remaining atium in their sacrifice. With Elend dead, Vin had nothing left to live for and assaulted Ruin with all of her power, knowing it would kill both of them. She and [[Ati]] fell dead by Elend, outside the Pits, as [[Sazed]] watched, leaving both Ruin and Preservation unheld and the remaining, uncontrolled koloss to rampage among themselves.{{book ref|mb3|81}}
