I recently looked at the batteries and notice the plastic on them is melted and I can see the expose metal, are this still safe for use? Should I travel to a volcano and toss this evil things before they kill us all?

From what you described the batteries may be damaged internally, and from the looks of it externally too.
Recycle them.
Recycle them.
Recycle those and don't use them. They've been hot. They might be OK. Maybe. Don't take the risk.
I couldn't tell from your pics what specific batteries you have. Today's IMR / INR batteries are safer chemistry and generally won't "explode", but they can and will vent extremely hot gas...hot enough to melt the insulating wrap on the cell.
Hard shorting a battery is a dangerous thing...leading to thermal runaway. This creates a lot of internal heat and damages batteries; the battery releases all of its energy within seconds. With a safe chemistry battery this heat and energy is released as hot toxic gas.
The point here is, does you mod have adequate vent holes to allow this gas to escape? If not, the mod can become a bomb.
Consider those batteries damaged beyond repair. Drop them off at a Radio Shack or Home Depot for proper disposal.
Definitely do not use them! It's not worth the risk new batts are less then $10 each.also it is important to dispose of them in a safe manner
