Chapter 154 - Ultra Instinct:

Merus stares at the appleians in front of him. The wind blows his purple hair. His aura covers his body as he breathes rhythmically. The appleians stare at him with deranged looks on their faces. 

A major side effect of transforming into the appleians' ace in the hole. Is that they become more deranged becoming a brutal fighting force like the saiyans. Their eyes are full of insanity before they all lunge toward Merus in unison throwing punches.

Merus's eyes track the appleians' movements as they surround him while throwing punches. He gracefully starts to dodge their attacks as his feet slide across the ground. He slips and dodges the punches while inhaling deeply.

Merus floats up into the air as the Appleians follow him also floating up into the air. They keep throwing punches as Merus narrowly dodges them. He keeps dodging them until.

Mutsu throws a kick at Merus. He stares at the kick approaching him until he flies higher up into the air, flipping over Mutsu. Mutsu's eyes widen as five white points cover her stomach and chest. 

Before she could reach five punches slammed into her body sending her crashing to the ground. She coughs out blood as Merus stares at her before glancing to his right and seeing the elder Appleian shooting a green ki blast at him.

Merus pointed his pistol at the incoming blast while floating in the air. He fired a blast out of his pistol. The two blasts clashed making a screeching noise before exploding. A smoke cloud engulfed the floating Merus. 

Nonsuch saw a chance. He lunged into the smoke cloud throwing a barrage of punches and kicks. But no matter what Nonsuch did, he couldn't touch Merus. Merus ducked under a kick before placing his pistol on Nonsuch's chest and firing a blast.

The bright blue blast engulfs Nonsuch's body. Nonsuch grits his teeth in pain as the blast carries him through the air before he crashes into the ground causing a massive explosion.

Merus stares at the explosion until a green light illuminates the left side of his face. He looks towards the light and sees the elder Appleian creating a massive green blast with both of his hands.

He slams his palms together compacting the blast before he opens his hands firing a massive green blast. The wind swirls around the blast as it quickly approaches Merus.

" Did you not understand what I said? No matter what you do, it won't work "

Says Merus as he waves his hand at the blast shattering it into pieces of green energy. The elder appleian eyes widen before Merus' body flickers and reappears next to him.

Before the elder could react, 12 punches slammed into his side sending him flying through the air. The elder flips in the air before dragging his feet into the ground and coming to a grinding stop. Blood starts dripping down his wrinkled old face as the deranged look in his eyes grows.

Merus looks at him before scoffing as Mutsu and Nonsuch appear next to the elder with grins on their faces. Merus starts slowly walking towards him until Merus suddenly sees a figure falling through this planet's atmosphere.

The figure is burning inside of the atmosphere as it falls down towards Merus and the Appleians. The figure crashes between Merus and the Appleians.

The Appleians see who the figure is and instantly a grin appears on their faces. Merus' anger grows as he sees a battle-worn Pomme holding onto Nina's head by her black hair. Pomme is missing his left arm as his face is covered in bruises and dried blood. 

Pomme has transformed. Black tattoos cover his body. His trenchcoat is burned off only leaving black jeans. He breathes heavily while staring at Merus.

" This woman really thought a black hole could stop me? "

Pomme yells out holding Nina's head. Pomme tosses the head at Merus. Merus dodges the head as he glares at Pomme angrily until he takes a deep breath to calm down.

" You will die today appleians. I'll make sure you watch your comrades die one by one- "

Before Merus could finish his sentence he suddenly sensed an energy behind him. He glances behind him, and sees Ambrosia holding onto Garnet's sword. Garnet was killed by Ambrosia.

" Looks like you're the last one left, Merus. "

Says Ambrosia with a cruel grin on her wrinkled old face. Merus starts to look around and sees hundreds of injured Galatic patrol officers staring at him. He was their last hope. Merus' heart starts beating faster as adrenaline runs through his veins.

Looks like the final battle between Ambrosia and The Galatic Patrol has finally begun...
