OOC: okay, let me step back and change it up after your edit then

IC: Dirk heard an alarm go off from below him as he sped towards the water. He quickly vanished into the shadows and reappeared, dual pistols pointed at the new arrivals. Out of the sand popped two defense turrets. Dirk was forced to quickly react to the fact that he wasn't dealing with hostile intruders. "Alpha override 212. Disengage." Dirk muttered and the turrets dropped back into the sand. "That's why you don't follow me without telling me first." Dirk told Shinn with an amused smile. He holstered his weapons before turning back to spot Ellery once more.

"I guess he knows the weapons won't help." Ellery pointed out while looking down at the island. He had originally wanted to get rid of Dirk's weapons but he hadn't gotten the chance to actually see them. Eller moved his hands back before throwing them forward and firing slashes of wind at Dirk.

Once again Dirk dropped into the shadows, this time reappearing below Ellery on the surface of the water. He quickly fired a storm of electricity up at Ellery, using the water to augment it's power and range.

Ellery was hit byt he lightning straight on, causing him to start falling towards the floor. He spun around in the air and fired a blast of wind straight at Dirk.

"Mom..." Zephyr said in a blush, with Melody giggling as she looked at her grandma.

"So, how does it feel to be an aunt?" Dante asked, having won a Teddiursa plushie for Daphne.

Daphne had been grinning with glee at the plushie before Dante asked about being an aunt. "Now I just feel old." She said, pouting. But this time she couldn't hide how happy she was.

Dirk extended his arms out away from his sides and the wind struck him. He stepped forward out of the vortex and it was clear that he had shedded his jacket and shirt, showing off his scarred and bullet-torn torso. His weapons floated in mid air and with a flick of his wrist, he sent them through the open cottage door. Another flick of his wrist and his jacket and shirt followed. "Figured I'd be a gentleman." He told Ellery. "No unfair advantages." He said, referring to the arsenal he had sent inside the cottage. Feeling some wetness on his chest, Dirk looked down and saw he was bleeding, a few new scratches added to the tally. "You made me bleed Ellery." Dirk mused. "It's been awhile since that happened."

"I remember when you played with Vanillish." Carey giggled before kissing Melody's forehead. "The two of you competed to see who could win with ice I remember this one time you ended up freezing Ellery and Lexie so Zeke and I had to unfreeze them."


Ellery looked at Dirk for a moment, the expression on his face being enough to make him step back a bit. He grinned and raised his fists once more as the wind around him started to increase in strength. "Is the great Dirk getting soft, I still haven't shed one drop." he snickered before leaning forward. Suddenly Ellery's body fired off like a bullet, causing the water around him and Dirk to fly up into the air. He slid on the water behind Dirk, the speed as well as the wind allowing him to walk on the water before he threw his punch down on the water and fired a large wave at Dirk.

Shinn looked at the battle before looking down at Desiree. "You know you could do that too."

Dirk leaped up into the air and landed on top of the wave. His feet were coated in ice, freezing the water where he stood allowing him to leap up off the top of the wave and dive bomb Ellery. He released two ice beams from his feet, propelling him even faster towards Ellery. When he was within striking distance he used his great speed to throw an incredibly powerful elbow at Ellery's jaw.

Ellery was hit head on by the elbow strike, causing him to be smacked aside and bounce around on the water before falling in. Ellery pulled himself out of the water slowly as he coughed up blood and wiped it off. "Guess I spoke too fast." he said as his hair stuck to his face. He looked at Dirk for a moment before spreading his arms wide and firing a barrage of air arrows at Dirk. "But I'm not done just yet!"

Dirk spun around, skidding to a stop on top of the water as Ellery's air arrows screamed towards him. Calmly, he waved his hand across his body, swatting the arrows aside with a wave of shadow energy. He looked down at the water and stuck his hand in and sending a pulse of electricity into the water, creating an electrified tidal wave, which was sent outward in all directions.

Ellery put his right leg forward and held his left one back before he threw his right fist forward. He blew a blast of wind through the wave heading towards him, allowing him to open a path for him to go through so as to avoid the wave. He looked at Dirk grinned before putting his hand into his jacket. He grabbed onto the handgun, but then he thought back to what Dirk had done and to what he himself had said. He wanted to be acknowledged by him fair and square.

Ellery retreated his hand before grabbing onto his jacket and throwing it aside into the water. "I'm ready for anything." Ellery stated as he held his fists up towards Dirk and grinned. "So how about you come and show me what you've got."


Alistair looked at the babies once more and yawned a bit. He smiled at her and scratched his chin. "I wonder if things will finally be peaceful now."

Dirk held out his hand and used magnetism to call Ellery's handgun to him, catching it with ease. He closely examined the piece. "Don't treat such a beautiful thing with such disdain." Dirk told Ellery before sticking into his now empty hip holster before sliding along the water towards Ellery. He went on the offensive, attacking with lighting fast combos of punches. His technique was flawless, keeping the pressure on his foe while not leaving openings to counter.

Ellery took every single one of Dirk's punches. However, it wasn't for no reason. He held his left hand forward and caught one of the punches. He then jumped up and flipped around in the air before landing behind Dirk and thrusting his leg forward, firing a blast of wind from his leg while also throwing a kick at him.

When Ellery lashed out with a kick, Dirk knew he had his opening. With a quick sidestep, he avoided most of the wind and as such was able to catch Ellery's leg, trapping it with a firm grip. Normally he would have then broken the foe's kneecap before driving the knife in his boot through the man's throat, but this was a sparring match. So instead he used the fact that he now had Ellery trapped to strike him with an elbow to the solar plexus, a knee to the guy and to finish him off a vicious forearm to his throat.

Ellery was hit by Dirk's attacks causing him to be thrown back and fall in the water once more. He groaned in pain and held his hand to his gut as he coughed out more blood. Suddenly wings began to come out from his back, the wings having a combination between black and white feathers. His hands became clawed and completely black and his hair and eyes turned white and red respectively as he stood up. "I still have more up my sleeve." he said as the wind around him formed a tornado that separated him from Dirk.
