The people of the nearby town of Nibel have asked the martial artists to rid of some fiends that threaten their livelihood. Sin embargo, physical techniques have little effect on the pudgy, amorphous bodies of the fiends in question, leaving the martial artists unable to do anything. Como resultado, the townsfolk have been losing faith in their abilities and reliability.
