John heard the shout, but that does not mean he listened. Since he was already en route to assaulting Ella, he did not stop, and neither did she. Even though Ella knew Victor had just arrived, she was occupied and the fight took priority.

Noticing how John was shooting down most of her attacks, Ella decided to conjure a massive boulder that he had no hope of blocking. Unlike with water or fire, Ella could use her surroundings to help aid the process of creating the mass.

Almost in no time, Ella had summoned what seemed to be a literal mountain and had prepared to throw it at John. Still advancing, John couldn't miss the object floating above her...

'Damn...' John thought. 'Impressive, but too slow!'

Ella smirked, believing she had the upper hand.

"All bark, NO BITE!" Ella yelled as she released the rock.

John was still heading directly towards her, showing no sign of retreat. He realized that there was going to be a small gap he could slide under if he timed it right. Knowing that he would get caught on the ground because of the debris, John removed his barrier and flattened it to lay on the ground under the boulder as a makeshift slide.

Putting his plan into action, John dove feet first, sliding his way past the boulder which exploded on the ground behind him. Ella was amazed, shocked, and in deep shit...

She prepared her wind barrier to block any oncoming attacks, but was too late as John was already in her face.

"You're done" John viciously stated.

Before she could respond, John had already buried his fist in her face in a downwards motion. Ella's barrier was immediately shattered at the force of John's new strength. He watched as she slammed into the ground, but John was not done yet...

Ella recovered herself quickly and returned a punch in an attempt to dissuade any further attacks, but this had quite the opposite affect.

Enraged, and fueled by revenge, John grabbed her fist and crunched it. He watched as her eyes widened in pain.

"Feel familiar? Don't like it too much when you're on the receiving end, do you?" John mockingly asked, referencing when she crushed Arlo and Isen's hands.

"You bastard!" Ella cried out, mostly in pain.

Not giving up, Ella used John's hold on her hand to lift herself off the ground enough to swing her legs at his in an attempt to sweep him.

Noticing, John activated his barrier around his legs with Remi's electricity around it.

When Ella made contact, not only did she receive quite the shock, but her legs were destroyed from the impact.

"Nice try" John cracked a smile.

John had won, and Ella knew it. He was making it abundantly clear that she was at his mercy. Yet, there was only one thing John wanted to hear from her...

"Concede defeat" John demanded.

Ella laid defenseless and in deep thought.

"No" she decided.

"Have it your way" John said, emotionlessly raising his fist again.

"I SAID, ENOUGH!" Victor and the Royals crossed the crater to reach them.

Victor also signaled for the Royals to do something as there was a possibility he would listen to them. Arlo wasted no time, raising his barrier around John, accepting that he may take a nasty hit from him in the process.
