The Black Market, a place of villainy and cheats. It is the most avoided part of town by civillians for this reason. However, for adventurer's this place may be a good area to find rare loot. Afterall, what kind of magic user can ignore the deal today, "Come one, Come all! Today we have quite the deal for those that have an interest in magic! From the lands of Witch Island we have one of the last remaining Glowbos to be seen! These little guys can give magic users the extra oomph they need to use their powers! Ever have a move that requires too much focus? Poof, problem gone! Need to bring a Gold Statue to life? It can do that too! Unfortunately, like all good things, this deal can not last, for we have only one Glowbo left!" The merchant yelled in the area. It didn't seem to be working though. The Life Sphere wasn't exactly full of magic users that would need such a trivial item.

However, this did not stop Black Mage. He was in the Black Market because he wanted to see if there was any magical artifacts he could study. He was about to give up when the merchant's marketing reached his ears... if he even has any... Regardless, his attention was grabbed. Back in his world his Hadoken was powerful and did not require a charge. However, this was stolen from him in this world and it had to be charged to full power. This could alleviate this problem, so Black Mage begun to walk towards the merchant's stall. Afterall, it wasn't like there was anybody else in the area that cared about the item.

Mumbo Jumbo had seem something he wasn't too pleased about, someone had got a hold of Glowbo's and was selling them off. This was too big a deal for the shaman to just let go so he had gone to the black market to find the seller. The black market was the only place someone would be foolish enough to pawn off Glowbo's without a thought for anything but money. Barging through the crowd as he heard there was only one Glowbo left Mumbo stormed up to the Merchant waving his magic stick threateningly.

"Oomenacka! Have merchant no brain! Glowbo Dangerous magic! Hand over Mumbo and Mumbo willing pay some to stop Merchant stupidity!" The shaman barked and slammed down about half the merchants asking price on the counter and attempting to take the Glowbo. Mumbo just hoped some greedy fool wasn't already on his way here to try and harvest the power from the Glowbo since he had just rescued it from this foolish merchant and who ever would bee foolish enough to play about with it's power. Such greed was noiling Mumbo's blood, he wasn't going to take any refusal from the merchant.

For reference since it was not explained, the merchant is a Toad. Not your average Toad in appearance though. His mushroom was black and purple and he had an eyepatch over his left eye. He also wore a black jacket with a black diaper instead of the normal Toad white. The suspicious Toad did not even flinch at Mumbo's threats or his glorified stick, "Now, now, there's no need for harsh language, my Shaman friend. I am just doing business, its not like I'm hurting anybody. I may get money from it, but won't the magic user also benefit? Its good for both parties, I'm just doing a business. Now, put away the staff and there will be no need to resort to violence," the suspicious Toad threatened. Though he looked different, what could a Toad possibly do? Then again, he was working in the Black Market, so maybe he's not your average Toad.

Either way, whether Mumbo consented or not, Black Mage saw what was going on and would not let his tool to full power be stolen by some thick skulled brute! Black Mage shot a bolt of lightning using thunder inbetween Mumbo and the suspicious Toad. Afterall, what could a person that did not even speak proper English be able to do?

Mumbo for his part wasn't even slightly threatened by the Toad. Not even just for the fact it was a Toad ether. Then shaman was both too angry and confidant in his magic to be threatened. "Stupid merchant not understand the power of Glowbo. Merchant want to be responsible for giving out Power to destroy Lifesphere to anyone?!" Mumbo demanded shaking with rage as he held the Glowbo, refusing to let the thing go now he had it and it was for now safe.

Mumbo was about to start shouting again and then probably leave to hide the Glowbo somewhere safe. This was put on hold when the black mage fired off a magical bolt. Mumbo turned to look at the intruder on the moment to see the black mage.

"Well, blow Mumbo down. Faceless one feels like firing magic willy-nilly. Mumbo suggests faceless one keep magic to self." The shaman grumbled at the mage, Mumbo didn't like using magic where innocents could be hurt, that was the difference between he and Grunty. Mumbo assumed the mage wanted the Glowbo and it seemed right now he wasn't responsible enough to have the power. He was exactly the type Mumbo feared getting the Glowbo, Grunty had taught him that he couldn't truly trust others with magic.

Mumbo braced himself, he didn't want to have to fight but he doubted this faceless mage cared about much but the Glowbo's power, so the shaman had to be ready to fight.

Black Mage stared at Mumbo and looked around, the only thing in the direction of his spell was the wall the stand was next to. "That spell wasn't 'willy-nilly', that spell was made as a warning shot. I could've used fire, but that would be dangerous, I could've used Blizzard but that has no direction and a Hadouken would've eradicated you both but I decided against it," Black Mage answered. He would normally be all for killing but here in Li was a different story. The main reason being he did not want to be seen as a criminal in the only town left standing and the only safe place left. That's why he was helping in missions so he could get the good eye of the people, killing this shaman would ruin that... Unless it looks like self-defense... "What makes you think you can keep that Glowbo all to yourself, huh? As a fellow man of magic, you must understand all I want to do is study it right?"

The suspicious Toad watched between the two arguing Magic users. After Mumbo's retort the suspicious Toad decided to act and with a snap of his fingers the Glowbo reappeared in his hands, "I like my property to only go to those willing to be civil. Now, let's try this again. Shall we be gentlemen, or shall this get ugly?" The suspicious Toad said. With how he got the Glowbo back from the Shaman it was clear this was not your average Toad.
