Daniel swore. He could have used a fire shock wave to take them all out, but then he would hurt the rest of the group. Fortunately, he still had the use of his fire, and he knew bugs couldn't stand fire. At least he hoped these couldn't. He engulfed himself in fire so the bugs couldn't touch him without being burned, then created 2 square panes of solid fire that burned anything it touched. He began sweeping them around, taking out the bugs around him and the others in large numbers. The bugs screeched in pain as they burned, but there were still too many. Then an idea occurred to him. He created a dome of solid fire around a small area, burning any bugs within it. Then he hollowed it out and opened a small area for the others to get in. "Everybody in there!" Daniel shouted, trying to be heard above the bugs' screeching. This would completely exhaust him, but he could see no other option for removing the swarm.
