While Jared started torching the bitey little buggars, Jay made sure they kept off their wizard's feet. Soren slid by, almost unconcerned. Good for him. Glad he wasn't concerned about the batshit crazy weird problem they found themselves in. These little bastards were like roaches. Roaches with fangs. It seemed like there were a million of them. Every time Jared and Jay knocked them back, a dozen more sprung up in their place.
The floor shook under his feet, and Jay threw out a hand to steady himself against the wall. The rumble didn't phase the bitey beasts, but it shook one off the tunnel ceiling. The weight of it crashed into his shoulder. He ripped it away, a big pinch cringing his face. The former star quarterback chucked that blood-faced little son of a bitch and spun a wave of fire into its heart, exploding it from inside. An arc of pink goo trailed in its place, splattering in the distance.
As Jay put a hand to his shoulder, his line of sight slid to the thing that occupied Soren's attention. The figure was a man, but like a dripping wax-candle, not a human. "Now that's disgusting."
As he took aim, Jared beat him to the punch, and a flash of white light streaked through the air, crashing into its chest. Immediately aflame, it shrieked and ran toward them. While Jay's eyes adjusted to the flashbomb of light, he squinted, took aim, and fired a single shot into its head. At least the shrieking ended.
Recovering from the near-blindedness, and now near-deafness from so many rounds being fired all at once, Jay signaled to Jared to back off on the gunfire for now. If they were encountering all this, he couldn't imagine how Natalie survived.

Only darkness shows you the light.
