They rose from every corner and shadow in the area, approaching Burnscar from every direction.  I directed them towards the exposed skin of her hands, ankles, face and neck.

I don’t think this is going to be anywhere near as effective as it is cool, but damn is it cool.

The second they landed, they bit, stung and clawed at her.  I even felt a few touch her face.  Then I felt her move.  For an instant, I thought she had some kind of enhanced strength or speed that let her throw herself to one side like she did.  Except it wasn’t her.  It was Mannequin that moved, throwing her to one side, so she landed in the midst of a flaming pile of trash.

Y’know, normally getting thrown into a flaming pile of trash would be a bad thing.

Also if this isn’t assisting…

The bugs on her were burnt to a crisp and she promptly disappeared.

“Run!” Grue shouted.

Where? I haven’t heard anything about her walls of flame going down.
