    Job Details:

    Marcus had traveled quite a way to arrive in Beanstalk village, having heard about their troubles from the job notice. He wasn't sure how much help he would be against some kind of magic ailment on their crops but, well, he was going to try, at least! What he didn't expect was the joyful reaction of the townsfolk when he arrived. "Oh thank goodness, you're the Wizard that took the job to clear up our farms, right?" The man asking looked to be the village's mayor, an older man, who Marcus grinned at, offering a gauntleted thumbs-up, straightening up a bit.

    "Yup! Name's Marcus. Now, I'm no farmer but, hey, I can take a look and see if I can find out what's causing this whole thing. So let's take a look!" No time to rest after his trip, after all! The mayor nodded, leading the young Wizard to the village's fields, which, like the notice had described, were getting choked by black, glowing thorny vines. "Whoa..." Marcus muttered, looking the fields over, before cracking his knuckles. "Well... let's get crackin and see what's going on." The young man nodded to himself, and started out into the fields, as the ground rumbled ominously...

    The young man stopped as the ground shook under him, glancing around for a moment, before his eyes flicked to his left, the rustling of someone coming through the plants drawing his initial attention. He was given pause, as he saw an older male, an impressive beard shrouding the lower half of his face, his dark robes hiding most of his body. Then, he spoke, grinning unnaturally as he laid eyes on the Fairy Tail wizard. "Well, well, well..." The Dark Wizard muttered, his voice harsh, and grating enough to make Marcus tense further. "It seems someone finally came to try to deal with my little curse... but I was hoping for someone a little more... capable. But you're just a neophyte, aren't you? Barely worth my time."

    "Why you-!" Marcus growled, rushing towards the man, only to be interrupted by a monstrous stalk of broccoli rising from the earth in front of him, forcing him to a stop. The young man and the monster had a bit of a staredown, before the Dark Wizard continued. "So, I'm going to let my little pet here crush you for me. Kill him." The Broccoli Demon grinned, before it reared back, easily telegraphing it's attempt to headbutt Marcus into the dirt. The young wizard leaped back, sliding to a stop, before he smirked.

    "And I thought this was gonna be boring." Then, he charged, drawing his fist back, as the gem on the back of his Caliber Knuckle began to glow. "Eat this! KNUCKLE BOMB!" His gauntlet slammed into the Demon, right between the eyes, as the creature let out a surprised cry, and the report of something not unlike a gunshot went off, an empty, crystalline shell popping from the back of the gauntlet, as the Dark Wizard was blown back by the resulting shockwave that blew back past the Demon, directing a glare towards the young wizard as he started backing out of the fight's range, assuming his demon could deal with the young man.

    The demon seemed a little less sure, staggering around a little, as Marcus wound up another punch.

    The Demon didn't even see the punch coming, as Marcus, not even bothering to expend another of his shells, driving his armored fist into its face again, making it growl angrily, eyes unfocused as it glared at the young man. Marcus's smirk was gone, eyes narrowed, cold as steel as he glared at the monster, which lunged towards him, it's course unsteady as his earlier blow seemed to have thoroughly rattled its brain. Marcus just weaved around the stunned monster, eyes flicking to the mage, before he frowned. He had to deal with this thing first, so it didn't hurt anyone. That decision made, he then ran after the stumbling creature.

    This time, he DID expend one of his shells, another gunshot-like report ringing out as his fist slammed into the monster's back as another Knuckle Bomb when off. "C'mon just go DOWN already!" He growled, eyes focused on his opponent as he bobbed back, the demon turning to try to refocus on him. Marcus just glared back, beckoning the monster towards him with his clawed hand.

    "C'mon ya ugly bit of veggies. Come and get me. Ya get one more shot." He muttered, the creature responding with another charge.

    Unfortunately for it, it squandered its one shot it'd been given, stumbling, even as it shook itself out of its disoriented state... just in time to see Marcus's fist coming right at its face again. THIS time, it was able to respond fast enough to dart out of the way, a third shell popping out of his gauntlet as he stumbled forward, overcompensating as his spell-charged punch went wide. "Gah!" The young man moved quickly, trying to recover as the demon charged at him, slamming into him with bonejarring force. Marcus slid with the blow, having braced his shoulder to take the oncoming attack, huffing a little.

    "Okay, that... kinda hurt." He muttered, shaking his head as he glared, then charged, taking another armored swing, driving his gauntlet into the demon's gut as it took a step back, smirking at him, though it had certainly seen better days now. Marcus just smirked slightly, taking a couple steps back himself, casting a momentary glance back to keep tabs on the wizard at fault for all this, who had now seemed to have taken an interest in the fight, watching from a safe distance. Marcus just pointed at him, eyes narrowed. "Once I'm done with him, you're next!"

    The wizard just scoffed, dusting off his sleeve as he regarded the young man. "I would worry about yourself before you start tossing around threats, boy!" The bearded man laughed, as the Broccoli demon rushed Marcus again, this time much faster that before. Marcus' eyes went wide, caught off guard a moment by the creature's speed, only to narrowly avoid the attack, only getting grazed, before he counter attacked with another Knuckle Bomb, that report going off again, and this time, the Demon was literally blown to bits, Marcus standing a moment, fist outstretched, before he turned his head enough to fix his gaze on the Wizard.

    "You were saying?" He muttered, straightening up, and starting towards the Wizard, picking up speed as the bearded man began casting a spell, letting fly at the young man. Marcus, seeing the vicious curse coming at him, made a diving roll to the side, rolling through the plants around him, before scrambling back to his feet, resuming his charge. "It's gonna take more than THAT!" His gauntlet let out a lout BANG, and he was suddenly hurtling towards the Wizard, propelled by the Caliber Knuckle, and driving his fist into his face with sudden force.

    The Dark Wizard stumbled back, clutching at his bleeding nose, before he fixed a truly furious gaze on the Fairy Tail Wizard. "You'll regret that, boy." He muttered, eyes glowing as he snapped off another vicious curse at Marcus, who suddenly had one leg go out from under him. "Gah!" Whatever he did, his leg just... wasn't obeying him, the Dark Wizard standing over him. "This is what will get you legal Wizards killed. So convinced of your own righteous superiority that you rush into a fight without considering that you just might be over. Your. Head." He grinned, leaning down to smirk in Marcus' face, the young man's hand tightening into a fist.

    "You never stood a chance, you realize that? You decided your fate as soon as you arrived. I am going to kill you, and I am going to do it -slowly-. And PAINFULLY. But... I may change my mind, and make it quick, if you beg-GBHCK!" The man's head ROCKED backwards, Marcus' fist finishing its upwards swing as he forced himself to his feet, hobbling on his good leg, and his paralyzed one.

    "Beg? From the likes of you? No thanks. I think I'm just gonna beat you stupid, instead."

    The Wizard just let out an angry, wordless yell, magical energy crackling around his hands as he thrust them towards Marcus, unleashing another vicious curse on him, and in response, he dove for cover in the rows of corn, feeling, more than hearing, as the magic crackled overhead.

    "YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME FOR LONG, BOY!" The Wizard yelled, stalking towards the prone wizard, as Marcus rested a hand against his chest, light glowing, and forming into a handful of crystalline shells, which he started loading into the Caliber Knuckle one by one. "C'mon, c'mon..." He muttered, crawling to avoid the Wizard's gaze as he strode into the row the young man HAD been laying in. Between shells, he shook his leg, trying to get it working again. No dice. He'd probably need to dispel it if he got the chance. If he could.

    That was an unpleasant thought. He didn't much relish the idea of wandering around with a gimp leg. But that was the least of his concerns as the Wizard continued stalking around. "Your best chance is to just run away, boy! In the end, you'll just wind up another victim, otherwise!" Marcus just shook his head.

    "Asshole."

    That was probably not Marcus' brightest decision, his comment drawing the attention of the Wizard, who started making his way over, the young Fairy Tail Wizard getting onto one knee as he prepared himself. "C'mon.." he whispered. "Just a little closer..." His eyes narrowed, Caliber Knuckle clenched into a fist as he took a deep breath. He could make out the sound of those robes brushing against the leaves of the corn rows around him. He was focused, intent on the moment he'd spot the wizard... only for them to spot one another at the same time. "THERE YOU ARE!" The Wizard yelled, his hand coming up, as the gem on the back of Marcus' gauntlet glowed.

    The curse was let fly, grazing Marcus, making him tingle unpleasantly as the world threatened to go insane around him, before his fist was let loose, slamming into the wizard's stomach, and with the loud, now familiar report of a Knuckle Bomb to the gut, he was left staggering and gasping, clutching at his stomach as Marcus slammed his fist into his leg, firing a Dispel Knuckle as glowing cracks formed around it, and 'shattered' before he flexed it, picking himself up.

    "Let's try this again." Marcus muttered, before he rushed at the Wizard.

    The Wizard of course wasn't going to take this lying down, but, as he let fly with another Curse, it was clear in his disoriented state that his shot went wide, Marcus catching him with another armored uppercut. "All that crap about how you're gonna kill me?" Marcus growled, slipping back into the cornrows. "You don't stand a chance. Not here." He muttered, the Wizard looking around in an attempt to figure out where the mage had slipped off to.

    "So what, you're going to hide from me, boy?" The Wizard taunted, turning, looking around for any sign of him, and finding none, which was unsettling in and of itself, his hands fidgeting anxiously. "Not forever." Marcus muttered, smirking a little as his hand clenched into a fist, as he hunkered down. The wizard meanwhile was getting a feeling where he'd gone, starting to turn towards him.

    That moment was all Marcus needed... as he came rushing from the Wizard's side, grinning. The Wizard had only a little time, turning to let loose another curse at him, his disorientation starting to wear off, improving his aim before his spell struck Marcus' unarmored arm, making it go limp, but, it wasn't enough to slow the Fairy Tail wizard down.

    Marcus' fist slammed into the Dark Wizard's face again, the young man letting out an almost primal yell as the bearded man stumbled back, for once starting to look concerned. Perhaps... he'd underestimated this young wizard, who now refused to let up on him, his wild swings forcing the Wizard back. Then, as quickly as it came, Marcus darted away, back out of sight. The Wizard's eyes flicked around as he nursed his jaw, only now starting to realize that perhaps... he should have gotten away while he could. Because now, it looked like he wasn't going to be given the chance... unless he could kill this bold little wizard.

    Marcus, meanwhile, had only one thought on his mind, and that... was to smash this stupid Dark Wizard's face in until the curse on the farms was gone. He'd rather not kill the man, but it was possible that was what it would take... knocking him out might not do it, since, well... he had to sleep, right? But that didn't mean the curse let up during those times. Unless... He nodded to himself,  keeping himself moving around the Dark Wizard, ignoring his paralyzed arm for now. It threw off his balance a little, but he couldn't spare the magical power to burn it all trying to beat him down that way. No, he needed to hold onto what he still had left.

    Although... he could feel some of his energy coming back... maybe...

    His momentary reverie was broken by the Wizard looking around, panting angrily as he wiped at his bleeding lip. "You think you're winning, boy?" He smirked, as Marcus' eyes narrowed. "Even if you stop me, boy, it won't stop my curse. This land is -dead-, and you're fighting me over it's corpse." A lie, but he presumed Marcus wouldn't know that. After all, there were all sorts of curses that endured long after the death of their creator... The light through the cornrows was just enough to catch on the metal of the Caliber Knuckle, as Marcus rushed out of hiding, this time coming from behind.

    But as the Wizard took aim, and let fly with his spell, Marcus tumbled to the side, rushing in low, driving his Caliber Knuckle into the Wizard's center of mass with another report of a Knuckle Bomb, sending the wizard reeling. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Oh. It seemed the wizard may have miscalculated. Instead of disheartening the young Wizard...

    He'd pissed him off. He'd pissed him off a LOT! "These people made their LIVES HERE, and you just decide to take that away! For what!? Bragging rights!? MONEY?" The Wizard began stumbling back, trying to focus enough to cast another curse, as Marcus bore down on him.

    "No, you know what?" Marcus muttered, his armored hand clenching into a tight fist. "I don't care what your reasoning is." He growled, the stunned wizard's curses going wide as Fairy Tail's Knuckle Duster closed in, weaving between the dark, crackling magics. "You're the worst kind of Wizard, and you don't deserve the power you have." His eyes, as he spoke, never once left the opposing Wizard. "So you know what?" He then darted forward, drawing his fist back.

    "I'M GONNA PUNCH YOU RIGHT INTO THE GROUND!" The Wizard, stumbling in his attempt to get out of Marcus' range, took another punch, this one slamming into his shoulder, and making him cry out as he tried to ward off the blow. Then... he started running, stumbling, weaving from side to side, but running nonetheless.

    This Fairy Tail Mage was crazy. It was that simple. It had to be. To go berserk over something like this? A glance back though only confirmed the older man's fears that Marcus was in hot pursuit. Yeah. He'd definitely miscalculated. After all, even the weakest mages could find a new source of strength when enraged, but... he still had one shot, as his disorientation faded, his hand whipping back...

    And Marcus staggered, screaming in pain as the curse that struck him, for several moments, made it feel as if every nerve was on fire, the young man gasping as he snapped out of it, before he kept on coming. "Hfff... hfff... G-Gonna take... more than that! You're MINE."

    "You... who ARE you?" The Dark Wizard muttered, readying another curse, as Marcus darted to the side, back into the cornrows. The Wizard looked around quickly, expecting Marcus to be coming from the side, or behind him again. "You're a one trick pony, boy... You're going to come at me, and strike me again, but this time I'll see you coming, and finish you off. You can't take many more of those curses of mine, can you?" He smirked, turning to look behind him. He could hear the young wizard moving in the foliage but it was just too tall, and that, combined with the thorns, made seeing him even harder...

    And then Marcus just... stepped back out of the cornrows where he'd slipped in, the Wizard now looking the wrong way as he came towards him. The Dark Wizard realized his mistake a moment too late looking back, and taking a Knuckle Bomb to the back, driving him to his knees as Marcus glared down at him.

    "Maybe. Maybe not. But even if I can't? I'm gonna make sure you can't hurt anyone else." He muttered. His eyes were cold. Angry. Focused. The kind of eyes you didn't want to see on anyone.

    The Wizard glared up at Marcus, trying to focus again, as the young man backed up, winding up another blow, focusing, before punching the already stunned Wizard, sending him tumbling. Marcus flexed his armored fingers, glaring and narrowly avoiding another of those curses, eyes narrowing. "I'm wearing you down. That's all I have to do. Keep wearing you down." The Wizard scoffed. "You... think you can, boy? You think you have what it takes to... finish the job?" Marcus just smirked, eyes narrowing.

    "Yeah. Yeah I think I do."

    The Wizard chuckled, picking himself up unsteadily, shaking his head, trying to clear it from the shock those repeated Knuckle Bombs were doing. "We'll see, boy." The Wizard muttered, eyes narrowed trying to concentrate, to clear his head, as Marcus frowned, darting back into the cornrows, knowing the wizard would be coming out of his stupor pretty soon again. So far, this tactic had been working. Hide, then attack, stun him when he could... it was working itself into a pretty good pattern, one that'd served him well before.

    As long as he could keep it up. He had the advantage of being more physically capable, so he could keep up this kind of pace, but those curses, and repeated spells, were wearing him down.

    The Dark Wizard, meanwhile, had recouped as Marcus slipped out of sight, glaring around. "Why don't you come out and fight me fairly then, instead of hitting and running like a common thug!" Marcus frowned a little at that. "I don't owe you a thing except the beating you're getting." The Wizard hurled a curse in the direction of Marcus' voice, the young man scrambling for cover out of the way. He needed to come at him with enough time to land another Knuckle Bomb, feeling his magical energy return a little. Then, he rushed out of the cornrows in a curving path towards the Wizard, who whirled towards him.

    "I've got you now!" The Wizard cackled, loosing his curse... as Marcus juked to the side, closing in, and punching the Wizard not once, but twice, first to unsteady him, holding back the shell... then the second blow let out the now-familiar report of his Knuckle Bomb, sending the Wizard reeling again. But this time, Marcus didn't stick around to keep taking advantage of the Wizard's state, instead diving into the cornrows again, knowing his Caliber Knuckle was out of ammo again.

    Stupid six-shooting armored gauntlet. He needed to boost the capacity somehow. A mental note for later.

    While the Wizard was busy snapping himself out of his stupor, Marcus was busy reloading his Caliber Knuckle with shells. First, another Knuckle Bomb... then, inspiration struck. That... just might work. There might be a little bit of collateral damage but... if he stopped the cause of the curse? They'd probably thank him anyway. With that thought, the shells got a little more interesting... First, a Goo Knuckle shell. He wanted to make sure, at least for a few seconds, that the Wizard stayed in one place. Then, more disconcertingly, a Shrapnel Knuckle shell. Then another Knuckle Bomb, and a couple Dispel Knuckles to round out the whole thing. But hopefully, he wouldn't have to worry about that if this worked, not with his reserves how they were.

    The Wizard, meanwhile, was more than angry. He was furious. This little mage was running circles around him, and this damn cornfield was just playing to his opponent's strengths. Which way had he gone? The Wizard, dark magic billowing around his hands, stalked into the corn, looking for the young man, who, meanwhile, was slowly moving to keep from being found. He knew how he was gonna do this, now. It was just a matter of making it happen.

    "WHERE ARE YOU!?" The Wizard growled, glaring around as he wandered through the fields, Marcus stalking him as his hand tightened into a fist. Just a little closer... and...

    "Right here." He muttered, the Wizard turning in time to see Marcus slam a fist into the ground, which welled up with a sickly green gel, before it rushed forward, engulfing the unprepared older man, slowing him down. At first, he was ready to get closer to attempt to curse the young Fairy Tail Wizard... when he saw  Marcus slam his fist into the ground again, causing it to rumble menacingly, before, in a wave out from him, the earth erupted with metal spikes, the Dark Wizard's eyes going wide in sudden fear.

    Then he had no time to get away, spikes stabbing into him, including his leg and one of his feet, hobbling him as Marcus smirked, the spikes shrouding him to a point. The Wizard's plans immediately changed, and, hobbling, he started trying to run. Marcus, meanwhile, was forced to wait, watching the Wizard flee as he got ready to pursue him. Shrapnel Knuckle was definitely one of his more dangerous spells, especially since he had to stay in one place while it was in action.

    "Have to get away... have to get away..!" The Wizard staggered through the fields, panting as he wove through the cornrows. This had gone out of control, and now he was bleeding, limping, and had a violent legal Guildmember chasing him... or he would, once those spikes were gone, and they'd torn him up more as he staggered out of them. What kind of wizard keeps a spell like that in reserve!? Well, to be fair, most do. But... He was convinced that this Fairy Tail Wizard was now legitimately trying to KILL HIM!

    Marcus, meanwhile, had stood, taking a deep breath, collecting himself as he waited for the metal spikes he'd formed to dissolve, and let him pursue the Dark Wizard before he got away. Though now he had no worries about that. Bleeding and hobbled as he was, all Marcus had to do was jog after him, and he could catch up to him. More importantly was his worry that taking this wizard out really WOULDN'T help.

    What would he do if beating him didn't break the curse, like he said? Well... he could always ask someone more knowledgeable... but that would have to wait. He had a Wizard to beat up.

    That Wizard... hadn't gained much ground, stumbling through the thorn-gripped foliage, panting as he continued to bleed. He specialized in curses, he wasn't even sure if he could figure out a way to patch himself up... and he definitely couldn't while Marcus was after him. He should have cursed the place, then never come back. There's a lot he could have done that would have been different at that moment, many regretful decisions that had brought him to this point, and now it seemed like Marcus was going to punish him for every last one of them. Really, though, who would have thought they'd be afraid of what he presumed was a D-Rank Wizard!?

    Meanwhile, the spikes around Marcus dissolved, blowing away in the wind. Just a little more... a little more, the spikes almost gone and then... freedom! He could move! And move he did, rushing into the corn, avoiding the sticky zone created by his Goo Knuckle. He weaved through the plants, following the trail of blood, picking up speed as his eyes narrowed. This was it, the moment he was going to finish this battle between himself and the Dark Wizard. Even if he was nearly exhausted.

    The Dark Wizard stumbled and staggered, looking back, seeing nothing.

    Nothing? But he was sure Marcus would be right behind him. Then he heard it, a rustle. A click. And his head whipped forward, as he saw Marcus burst from the corn. The next moment was one frozen in time, a curse, unfinished, falling from the Wizard's lips. Light, blazing from the crystal on the back of the Caliber Knuckle, the young man's magical energy restored, just enough, for one last blow.

    Then, everything was moving again, as Marcus' voice rang out, the Caliber Knuckle swinging in a vicious uppercut, that caught the Dark Wizard right under the bearded chin. "GO! TO! HELL!!" Marcus screamed, the Wizard's own startled cry drowned out by the report of his Knuckle bomb, which struck with enough force, combined with Marcus' own blow, to lift him clear off the ground.

    And as he fell back to earth, consciousness left him, his eyes rolled back and blank as he hit the earth, and, in an invisible wave out from him, the black thorns of his curse dissolved from the fields, as Marcus felt his paralyzed arm become responsive again. He quietly turned, looking around as the fields seemed to revive, his eyes flicking around... then... he grinned, pumping his armored fist in the air with a victorious yell.

    "YEAH!~ I DID IT! EAT THAT YOU JERK!" He laughed, before reaching down, picking up the Dark Wizard... mostly, dragging him by the back of his robes as he made his way out of the fields, back to the village. The villagers, who were all milling around nervously as they'd heard the repeated reports of his Knuckle Bombs, wasted little time in closing in on the young man, bombarding him with questions, though some cheered when they saw the fields returning to life.

    "Did you do that?"
    "Oh my god, are you alright!?"
    "Who is he? Is he the one behind this?"
    "Oh thank you so much!"

    And so much more lost in the hubbub of the crowd.

    Marcus was, understandably, a little overwhelmed, grinning a little sheepishly, before the mayor approached him, the crowd going quiet. "When we heard you fighting out there, we weren't sure what was happening but... it seems you were able to bring back our fields..." His eyes turned down to the unconscious Wizard the young Fairy was dragging. "And bring the culprit behind it to justice. For that, we can't thank you enough. We had a reward in mind, and, now that we've seen it happen, I fear it may not be enough." The elderly man then drew out a VERY large sack of Jewels, handing them over. "If there's anything else we could do..."

    Marcus blinked, looking down at the Wizard, then he grinned. "Well... there is one thing. Could you guys get a hold of the Rune Knights to come pick this guy up? He'll be out for a while, but... he won't be happy when he wakes up." The mayor nodded quickly, passing the request onto a young man who rushed off to send word via Lacrima to the Rune Knights.

    And by the time the Rune Knights arrived, Marcus had already left, the unconscious Wizard tied up in the middle of the village, with a large number of the villagers keeping an eye on him, and painted on the front of his robes with a bit of paint Marcus'd borrowed?

    The symbol of Fairy Tail, leaving no question which guild had saved Beanstalk Village.
