Actually, the correct form to use in this situation is indeed "ike", since Michael was telling the fangs to "go", hence, a command. Ike is the imperative form of "iku".

Ikeru doesn't work here because its the potential form (used only when it is stated where one "can/cannot go")

Ikimashou/ikou should work also since they mean "let's go", but a personality like Michael's won't tell a bunch of weapons "let's go!", I guess.
