Night Raid: Revolution

Chapter 54: Tatsumi Will Merge with Who?

"I remember you." Lars said. "You kept transforming but so have I. I'm stronger, faster, and smarter than the Lars that you faced."

"I'm the one that has the real trump card." Tatsumi said.

"Is that power up self-delusion?" Lars chuckled.

Lars then commanded his lower body to spring up and attack Yomihime and knock her out with thunderous kick.

"No power up will save you from a beating from me." Lars said. "Let's do this."

"Hey, TJ! Catch!" Tatsumi said as he threw the ring at TJ, but Lars fired an energy beam at TJ, leveling the area.

"You bastard!" Tatsumi said.

"No more tricks!" Lars said. "Now you die!"

"I don't think so!" Tatsumi said. as he transformed into Incursio Possessed.

Tatsumi and Lars began fighting.

"TJ! Hurry and find that ring!" Tatsumi said.

"Trying!" TJ said as he desperately searched for the ring.

"I can't hold this form for too long."  Tatsumi thought.

"I'll finish you!" Lars said as he charged at Tatsumi, but something caused him to stop.

"No! Not now!" Lars said.

The pink blouse that Lars had on then vanished and an eyepatch then appeared on Lars' face.

"I see what happened." Tatsumi said as he reverted back to his base form. "Mya's time limit on her power has finally caught up to you and now, the boss is dominant."

"Dad! I found the ring!" TJ said. "Now what do I do with it." 

"There's no point in us merging now." Tatsumi said. "I'm confident you beat him yourself, TJ."

"Lucky for me, I have an insurance policy in case that happened." Lars said.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Tatsumi said.

One of Lars' slimes then began sneaking up on TJ.

"Just watch and observe." Lars chuckled.

Tatsumi then looked down at TJ and charged down at him, but it was too late, already started absorbing him causing TJ to drop the ring.

Lars then commanded the slime to merge with him.

Lars then began taking TJ's characteristics, wearing the white jacket and blue sweater combination.

"No, he can't." Tatsumi said. "Damn it!"

On the World of the Priests:

"We're through. There's no stopping him." Elder Priest said.

"What do we do?" Kubo Priest asked.

"I don't know..." Elder Priest said.

On Earth:

"Fantastic! Now I'm even stronger than I was before!" Lars said. "Even stronger than I was with Mya! Best of all there's no time limit on these powers."

"He absorbed TJ, now who am I going to fuse with now?" Tatsumi said. "There's got to be someone left."

Tatsumi looked at all his remaining options.

"Yomihime is down for the count." Tatsumi said. "There's no way in hell I'm merging with Takato Sai."

"You said you don't need to merge with TJ, so I took free dibs." Lars laughed.
