Just as he was counting his blessings, there was no better opportunity for a well-placed attack on the child wizard, however that does also imply well performed, which it of course wasn’t, otherwise Xavier would be suffering a great deal today of all days. Two large corn like creatures came barreling out from behinds some bushes standing just in front of Xavier, and just afterwards began to spit corn in his general direction. He was lucky enough to have seen them just before they began their attack, allowing him to barrel out of the way to his right. He rolled on the ground, and struggled to get to his knees, but he could still fight even if he couldn’t stand very well. He began charging up again, he didn’t have a lot he could use to his advantage at the moment after taking on those other jerks, but the least he could do was perform another static Jump. Three of the corny plant demons were coming from behind him, his timing would have to be perfect in the next few moments, no more screw ups, that last one almost cost him his life. He would Static Jump into the two who shot at him, and deal with the other three later.

A small crowd was gathering at the the small farming area where this seemingly endless battle was commencing, the villagers were rallied together by the woman from earlier, acting as an inspiration to Xavier and doubling as somewhat annoying spectators. The cheers were heart felt, and welcome but at the very moment in time he needed all the focus he could get and they weren't helping. Xavier almost wished they would shoot at them once just to silence them, but the plant demons showed no interest.

"Your all in for a good beating." He could feel the swell of his power reach the limit, and he jumped for the two machine-gun like corn attackers who seemed to run out of ammunition, leaving the three behind him to collide into each other like morons. Both fists at the ready, he belted the corn plant demons in what he presumed to be their faces (in the general areas of their eyes), and they sweltered in the electricity as they fell to the ground from the brute force. Their bodies heated up so much, the kernals popped into popcorn, leaving behind a massive feast an two empty cobs. "I don't know what you want, but I know what your going to get. A giant helping of fist!" Xavier kinda hoped the crowd cheered louder for him then but they seemed to be out of earshot.

Spoiler:

His trouble were far from over, as he turned back, he could see the other rally for another combined attack, charging straight for him like a line of battering rams. They couldn't have chosen a worse time to come beating down his door, however. Xavier was well prepared for this attack, anticipating it even.

The crowd grew somewhat rampant, as it seemed to them that this kid would bring about the end of their problems, taking things down one after another and often times in pairs. The gardening woman from earlier broke through to the front of them all, and watched, but she wasn't nearly as thrilled. The others couldn't seem to grasp it, but Xavier was injured, just enduring the pain for them.

Putting the final touch on their attack the corns spun like a drill, coming at him full speed. But their perfect attack was met a great defense so to speak. Xavier had cast Shocking Skin on himself once again, and the corns were knocked back, thwarted once more. They stood very annoyed with the boy, their eyes were a brilliant crimson as they glared down at him, looking to be out of breath to make their next move.

Spoiler:

As the giant corns charged him down like a row of battering rams, two of them lost their balance as one on the left of the ground shoved them aside as to get his licks in first, watching the other plant demons fall surely wasn't easy, but getting out of control like that was hardly justified, as they had great strength in numbers. Only one was coming Xavier's way now, and he stood defiantly as he charged up for his next spell.
The crowd still gathered was egging the fight on, the combat was exciting, seeing the little conquer the group of demons one by one, often in pairs. Suddenly they were in an uproar, as one man grabbed a shovel and shouted a battle cry. "Why are we letting pipsqueak do all the work!? Get 'em!" Many others went to collect gardening implements and began to run in the enemies' general direction, armed with tools and mismatched improvised weaponry.
Xavier waiting for the charging corn to arrive, finally timed something correctly, and side-stepped to his left, allowing it pass him enough to land an attack and not get hurt himself. He turned, and gave the demon a swift uppercut, and his arm sent a shock through his body, and the corn would find itself paralyzed. "Do you like the taste of my viper static? You'll be one of many." He glanced over his shoulder to see the villagers pummeling the other two whom had fallen to the ground with sharp gardening tools.

Xavier wanted to relax his muscles for a while and just enjoy the scene of a mass of villagers bludgeoning the Corny Plant Demons, nice to see that some others were putting in an effort. But he could tell that that just wasn't going to cut it. Despite them having greater numbers, they had no idea how to fight with those things, and they weren't exactly weapons either. The few scratches they made wouldn't be enough to take care of these things properly. But at the very least, they didn't seem hostile to the villagers, taking the blows without retaliation. He looked between them and the one beside him a few times, hatching an idea.
"Villagers! Clear the way!!" He went down to get a hold on the corn beside him, his spell was charged and ready to go. "Hope I'm strong enough to lift you..." He pulled the demon on to his back, and lifted, everything on him was tense and his muscles ached, which wasn't saying much becasue he didn't look very tough. As he looked ahead most of the villagers took  heed, but a few were still getting their licks in.
"Static Jump!!" Pulsing with electricity, launched himself into the air, soaring above the other two corns, and the villagers still fighting ran in fear of the coming attack. The hold he had on the corn was a little awkward, and he spun in the air while grasping onto it, casting it down to the ground like a javelin, the corn now covered in his lightning. Xavier closed his eyes, and braced for the impact cringing on the way down, and was met with something much softer than the raw dirt. He landed in a pile of popcorn, the other three exploded like the ones before, and he could rest for a few minutes.

Boop.

The villagers cheered for a moment, but awfully preemptively. The battle was for from being over, Xavier could still feel the curse lingering in the air, a dreadful clinging longing that hung in the air. As he lay there amidst the pile of popcorn that littered the farmland, catching his breath in this periodic break he had, but it wasn't anything if not short-lived. Not far away, the march of many more of the same demons could be heard clear as day, closing in on everyone, five more broccoli and ten more cornstalks, they surrounded the group with ease, giving them a circle of space to deal with about 5 yards in diameter. The villagers were circled around Xavier fearing for their lives with their arms held tight to them, as he pulled himself up grudgingly. Standing atop the popcorn, he looked down at all of the demons, and all of their eyes were gazing only upon him.

"Get out of here, they only want me!"

They wasted no time, dropping their tools to the ground and dispersing back to their homes. The support was nice while it lasted. It looks like he would have to do this the hard way. From his hack, carefully holstered, he pulled out his only weapons, thunder and lightning, his two trusty hanbo; a half - bostaff equal to three feet in length. He struck a defensive pose, waiting. "Come get some."
They all rushed him at once, and it took all of his focus to keep them at bay, unleashing a flurry od defensive counter-attacks, tripping a few corns, and bludgeoning broccoli.

Taking several blows, and exchanging more if not just as many, Xavier stood at the epicenter of a seemingly catastrophic event, but he knew better than to loose himself at at such a crucial moment. He was badly bruised, and his very core ached to the bone. But his opponents bruised easily to, their vegetable bodies weren't well suited for combat, not saying that a scrawny kid could have a chance alone. But Xavier wasn't just any scrawny kid, he was a wizard. He was a free person. And he would do anything in his power, to see his path through to the end. Xavier took a few more blows to to his gut, and knew in his mind he had to retaliate.

"Shocking Skin!!"

In an instant, the assaulting plant demons were shocked, electrocuted, and knocked back a great distance, tumbling down the massive pile of well cooked popcorn from the other fallen cornstalks.
Xavier fell to his knees to catch his breath, and watched as the plants, most of which were helplessly stuck on the ground make a slow recovery.

Spoiler:

The fight seemed endless, as they kept recovering from Xavier blows, effortlessly standing back up to fight the moment he struck them, and this pattern continued at a painfully redundant cycle. But after what had seemed to be a matter of ten or fifteen minutes of this relentless struggle, he came down to the last one of his assailants, a broccoli demon, and he struck it from above, a loud crack sounding in echo throughout the village. It tumbled do the massive pile of popped corn, and as the bodies came to settle, given little time they all simultaneously began to dissolve, evaporating into the air like they were made of some lame smoke or hot air, and by then a good portion of the mound he stood upon had disappeared.

He made his way carefully down, and sat upon the ground, clutching his staff in hand tightly. It was surprising how little of the farmland had been affected by this growing list of grievances. But it didn't matter, for now he would rest a moment, and take pride in the fact the curse was beginning to lift.

A small legion of pumpkin sized tomato plants were on the rise, and steadily approaching, somehow managing to endure. The entirety of them should have previously been wiped out, due to the current state of their ranks, but it appeared that Xavier would have to put down the few stragglers that remained.

Begrudgingly, Xavier forced himself to stand once more, doing his best to ignore the pain that spread from his midsection, and advanced slowly in the direction of these last ten or so assailants. The least he could do was put a bit of damage in them before he came too close. He reached out his hand and yelled, "Shock!". Lighting extended from his fingertips crackling with energy, and when they made contact with the tomatoes, at least half of the little platoon seemed to explode. It looked spectacular but the thought of it was horrendously morbid.

Before Xavier could once again pull out his staff, a rain of gardening tools and implements showered the area is if launched, and pierced the few remaining. "I'm glad that didn't hit me..." Just as he had turned to greet the people whom he expected to be the villagers, they were already on top of him, seemingly planning a dogpile. The woman from before got to him first, hugging him tight and many others followed, and soon they were just a big mass of happy people. The dark dreariness that seemed hang mysteriously around the place had disappeared for good, and for the first time, Xavier shared a laugh with a bunch of complete strangers, people he had just liberated...
