"Good idea!" the Demon agreed with Esen. "Don't think spraying a simple spray can will do it, but...Emily, can you modify some missiles to disperse something to that effect?"
"Sure can! It'll take a bit though. Hang in there and keep pressing for the city!" she replied with her typical pep.
Fortunately, the snakes already seemed to be acting somewhat stupid. Most of them kept trying to bite Lady Light or Orla, both of whom could easily tank their fangs or toxins. Folly, for her part, was walking unconcerned at the center of the group with a most fashionable walk.
Bloodsport kept on trucking with the bomb on his back, while Harpwyn blasted snakes into meat chunks with chromatic blasts from his harp. Lady Light hovered a few feet off the ground, flying around and destroying snakes with light blast and swordstrike. The resistance fighters, adopting a moving defensive formation, shot at the snakes to little effect. Their hides were mostly bulletproof.
They were not, however, magical spear proof. Or magical sword proof! Or even hookshot, explosive shuriken, or exploding shard proof! Orla charged into their midst stabbing and tearing with her spear and occasionally her sword, tearing the snakes apart. The bites that did manage to get around her armor did nothing, as her healing factor easily resisted the enhanced toxins. Finn, in a fury, slashed apart many of the snakes attacking Orla with powerful elemental sword strikes.
A cluster of snakes were annihilated by Ezren's exploding shards, with left a field of mangled snake corpses amidst a charred field. Candy blew snakes apart with blasts of her voice, and destroyed others with exploding shurikens. Finally, Esen did what she did best and sliced numerous snakes asunder with her ferocious hookshots.
The group reached the wall, where Bloodsport began setting up the explosive charge. Now in a more stationary position, the group was able to fend off the snakes with relative ease. Unfortunately, giant insects were now coming down from above, trying to harass them and get at Bloodsport!
Up above, Theraea carried Hackerman up towards the turrets. Gullgirl flew ahead of them, furiously bashing hordes of giant insects out of the sky with her flail swinging like a propeller. It wasn't long before they reached the top of one of the defense towers, where Hackerman was able to run up to one of the turrets. If he entered it, he'd be able to run through the internet back to the city's defense headquarters. There, he'd be able to take control of the entire city's automated defense systems. Most of them were probably offline by now, but he'd be able to do some serious damage with whatever was left.
