Aztec, New Mexico
The protagonists are battling with the soulless soldiers attempting murder Wei Huang. They unexpectedly run into quite a lot of push back from not only our protagonists, but from the master martial artist himself. Suddenly, one of the protagonists begins to convert the bio mass of some of the dying soldiers into his own. . . with unexpected results. The energy which devoured their souls entered him, but rather than begin to lose his soul and free will, he began to feel very groggy. . . like he needed to sleep. The energy from the force field disappeared, and so to was the enemy.
