Oh…
Marisol had actually hoped to fool the Skrull and then strike when they didn't expect it, but that suddenly wasn't a priority anymore. She had to protect her teammates.
To do that, she created tentacles of her own, to counter those from the walls. She tried to cut them to pieces.

Marisol struck the ground. Of course, she barely felt it, and turned herself lighter to counteract the weight increase. She was just a step away from starting to shake her tendrils wildly to get the small tentacles out. Luckily, she had a better idea. Although she couldn't get them out, she tried to shift her own tentacle around them so the stingers would fall to the outside.
She proceeded to try to gather all tentacles she could and absorb them into herself, naturally trying not to get stung in the process.
