The chapter opens with a soliloquy about the nature of the enemy. It is revealed that gold is a third-gen pyrokinetic, which means that it cannot be defeated by any other means. The only way to defeat the enemy is to use a half-baked strategy that does not rely on her heat resistance. For example, if they used a ferromagnetic material to stop her magnetic field, they would not be able to shoot at her bull's eye. They would have to use iron to cover her gauntlet with iron so that her magnetism would not interfere with their ability to fire at her. The fire soldier explains that it is impossible for them to do this. They will have to wait for normal circumstances to work out the problem. He explains that the only way they can pull off this plan is by the members of the fire force gold. They are the only ones who can pull it off. He tells the fire soldier that he will walk him through the process of making the iron into a molten mass. He then explains that they will need to use thermite to get the iron to melt to 2800 kelvins. He says that he is using his magnetism to stop the enemy from using her magnetism to destroy them. He adds that once the iron reaches this temperature, it will no longer be magnetic.
