The Battle of the Parking Lot

&nbsp The Battle of the Parking Lot takes place when Coates personally attacks the School. In this event, the School's military shows its strength. The battle only takes place in the parking lot due to Coates never making it to the doors. During the event, the shadow mutations make small but effective appearances coming at unexpected points to drag off some near dead mutant or some kid like Drake. Due to all the action, they went by unnoticed. The battle is lost for Coates when Max uses his power of water control to send a wave that would either keep Caine at a standstill or drown him. Caine accepts his defeat and retreats. Later, the school has a feast that the Council is invited to, due to Albert's idea that it is a show that if Coates couldn't win then neither would the Council.
