Chapter Summary
At the dawn of a new school year, the Avalon Institute comes to life with vibrant characters and evolving relationships. Old friends are reunited after summer recess and new future friends join the staff at Avalon. Each of them bringing their own unique abilities, experience, and skills to the institute. In an effort to strengthen the bonds between staff and faculty they organise an open mic night. Friendships bloom and abilities are revealed, with hope and promise of an eventful school year. Yet, hidden agendas lurk as two Lords plot to test a newly produced mutant protection automaton.
As students arrive at the New Cresthill train station a giant metal man flies into the small Scottish town and focuses on Oliver Bloomfield seeking to apprehend him. An intense showdown follows between the formidable Sentinel and the team of mutants calling themselves the Quantum Knights. The giant robot, initially well protected against their attacks, soon revealed a critical vulnerability in its neck's exposed circuitry. Concussive blasts and a fiery onslaught of blue fire from the team members led to a spectacular climax. The Sentinel was left in a smouldering wreck, ensuring the safety of Oliver, all of the students, and paving the way for their swift retreat as they prepared to flee the scene before authorities arrived.
In the wake of the Sentinel attack the mutant terrorist organisation known as the Sherwood Rangers bomb a conservative party building in London and claim it was retaliation for the attack on Avalon Institute. The alleged bond between the two organisations forces the Head Teacher to address the public, distancing themselves from the terrorist attacks and pleading for peaceful resolutions. Staff and Students deal with the fallout on their personal lives and the fact that Avalon Institute is now fully in the limelight as a mutant organisation.
