Their bodies swelled rapidly, glowing bright red before exploding in bursts of corrosive acid and fiery shards. The team was forced into a frantic defensive struggle.
"These things are too unpredictable!" Sarah shouted, firing Pink Rain to slow them down, but several still detonated close to her position, forcing her to dodge desperately.

"Damn it! These explosions are no joke!" she growled.
Lisa worked frantically, expanding her Aegis of Dawn barrier while continuously healing the team. But the corrosive acid from the explosions was eating away at her barrier faster than she could reinforce it.
