"This seems to be too easy. Maybe we should kick it up a notch. Yo, Logan throw in a sentinel." Terrence said with a rather unusual amount of confidence.
"Are you insane Amp? He's just a rookie, a powerful one yes. But that could easily be too much." Kari said in protest sentinels were a serious threat to a mutant and yes eventually he would have to face them but so soon?
"I'll just take him to an 'all you can eat buffet' when we're done. But I think he can take at least one of them on."
"Logan, that's your call. Do you think he can handle that?" Kari asked putting on hand on Wolverine's shoulder.

"I think he can, but if something goes wrong I'll shut down the sim" Logan replied, "he's proven strong enough to thrash Sinister. Should be able to handle a Sentinel, and Amp is down there with him." He placed his own hand over Kari's.
Tanwen kicked a piece of Ultron aside and looked around for whatever a Sentinel was. He was fired up and ready for anything. "Bring it on Logan" he said confidentally.

Dustin walked in shortly afterwords. "I thought I'd see what everybody was up to seeing as the kitchen light was on and nobody there. So, how are things going then?"

"We're about to see if Tanwen is ready to face a Sentinel." Psylocke said having her own doubts as to the boy's capabilities.
"The power to do so is easily within reach. The problem is if he has enough self control to not unleash too much power. We may be looking at a new equivalent to the Phoenix Force." Kari said hoping that wasn't the case. Things had gotten to ugly around that time so many of the team could've been killed when Jean lost control.
"Keep your eyes peeled a sentinel is hard to miss but they can strike very suddenl-"
"Target acquired." The monotone voice spoke just before unleashing searing ray of burning plasma in their direction.
Amp jumped out of the path of the beam firing wildly with his pistols but all he managed to do was slightly knock the behemoth robot off balance.

Tanwen dove aside and hurled several fireballs into the Sentinel's eyes, intending to blind it. He tossed a few more here and there, looking for possible weakspots.
"He's a stroppin' big one, ain't he?" he said to Amp, "you fought these monstrosities before?"

"Fought them yes, but I've also had my hind side handed to me as well by these things. They can be very difficult to fend off. It takes a lot of effort to bring just one down, and in real life it won't be just one. Only some of us namely two have no problem totaling one after the other." Amp said looking through his arsenal of weapons to see if he had anything useful while he was ducked behind a building.
Tanwen's fireballs glanced off the sentinel they were made of strong metals that resisted certain temperatures. He'd have to burn hotter than usual if he wanted to melt the sentinel.

Tanwen focused and summoned as much power as he dared. He didn't want to damage the Danger Room or harm Amp.
"Shrug this off ya over-sized wind-up!" he snarled, hurling a fireball the size of the one he used on Sinister.

The Sentinel was thrown back a bit by the blast but stabilize. Some of the plating was showing signs of heating up as it took on a bit of a glow.
Amp took a shot aiming for the same spot with a sonic blast. However all he managed was to dent the heated area. "Try hitting it again, preferably in that same spot."

Tanwen nodded and summoned another fireball. He hurled it into the Sentinel's chest and paused a moment to recooperate.

"Well at the vary least the kids got enough potentate to be a strong member of the team, but your right there is always that possibility if there's this much control so early."

The sentinel stood still for a second taking some internal scans to assess it's damage. That last blast had melted through the armor and sent a part of the chest plate dripping down in molten form.

Tanwen didn't waste the opportunity. He summoned a grenade size fireball and, taking very careful aim, tossed it speedball-style into the hole in the chest.
"Hey fugly, how tough are ya on the inside?" he called out, breaking his focus. The 'grenade' detonated wherever it had lodged inside the Sentinel.

The fire grenade blew dents in the armor and knocked the sentinel off balance. Though the circuitry was easily damaged sentinels were built to keep going with the exception of being dismantled.
Amp pulled a short sword out of a sheath hanging on his back. He didn't like amplifying his physical strength it drained him more than other amplifications. But it would seem as though he had little choice. He ran at the sentinel and sliced into the lower area of the foot before turning around and jumping up ripping open a large gash in the leg ducking out of the way as the molted contents from above seeped below melting the now exposed wiring in that leg.
The sentinel kept it's balance as best it could but that wasn't enough in a few seconds it toppled over and tried to swivel it's head to attack with it's one remaining weapon. The laser blasters.
Amp ran past the sentinel once again opening another gash this time in the head. "Aim here!" He called just barely managing to avoid the fire from the sentinels eyes.

Tanwen summoned another grenade and tossed it into the breach in the Sentinel's head.
He trigger the grenade and prepared to get to a safe distance, incase the explosion was bigger than anticipated. A self-destruct seemed like something one of these nasty machines would have.

The explosion destroyed the head almost entirely luckily including the control cluster that would trigger the chest piece to self destruct. The sentinel was rendered completely useless.
"Good job Tanwen. That should be all for this morning, you might be powerful, but you're still new to this and we want to take things as slowly as we can to make sure you can keep a good grip on those powers." Night angel said thinking back on the whole training session.
Amp leaned against the wall of one of the crumbling buildings for support as he slowly made his way to the danger room's exit. This was the price of amplifying his physical energy. It drained him at a rate equal to the amount he would exert had he normally possessed such strength.
