In this chapter, Coleman and the others discuss the progress they have made in their mission. Coleman tells the other men that he has lost all hope of ever being able to defeat the Man from the other side of the room. He tells them that he needs more power to continue his mission. The other men agree that they need more power, but Coleman refuses to say how much. He says that he knows his own body, and that they have to defeat this man. The men launch an attack, and Coleman's lightning bolt pierces the man's skin. Colan exclaims that he still has the power to defeat him, but his heart is broken. He wonders why Coleman is so persistent, and wonders if they can even shrug off the fact that he is still alive. The others agree that Coleman has reached his spiritual limit, and they will look for him.
