Speed vs. Deeps: The Battle of Fast and… Reverse Fast
Speed was halfway through his extra extra Monster Mac, surrounded by wrappers and a suspiciously sentient energy drink can, when his phone buzzed.
“Yo, it’s your turn,” Meh’s voice crackled through the speaker.
“Bro, I’m eating!” Speed replied, a fry falling dramatically in slow motion from his mouth.
“Nope,” Meh said. “New villain. His name’s Deeps.”
Speed blinked. “Like… me backwards?”
“Exactly,” Meh said. “He’s your reverse. Same powers. Same speed. But… opposite.”
Then the line cut out with a meh-click.
Chapter 2: Deeps Appears
The sky shimmered. Time hiccuped. And suddenly, in a swirl of reverse lightning, Deeps appeared.
He looked just like Speed—except everything was… backwards.
-
His jacket was zipped from the bottom up.
-
His hair flowed in reverse.
-
He walked forward, but his footsteps sounded rewound.
-
He talked… in backwards sentences. “Desrever saw ti. Em pleh nac uoy fi eno ma I.”
Speed narrowed his eyes. “Bro. You’re glitching. Like, hard.”
Deeps smirked. “Sdrawkcab ma I. Emit htiw yalp nac I. Esuaceb uoy ma I.”
Chapter 3: Mirror Chase
Suddenly, BOOM!—they launched into a speed chase across Meh Town.
-
Speed zipped across rooftops, dodging pigeons and spaghetti-powered billboards.
-
Deeps ran up buildings in reverse, undoing time wherever he stepped—mail went back into boxes, explosions un-boomed, soda re-carbonated.
-
Everywhere Speed went, Deeps un-did it.
They collided in a mirror maze, which only made things worse.
Speed ran forward.
Deeps ran backward.
They met in the middle… and time paused.
Chapter 4: The Only Way to Win
Inside the frozen bubble of reversed time, Speed had a thought (rare, but powerful).
“If he’s me… but backward… then to beat him…”
He paused. Took a breath. And did the unthinkable:
He slowed down.
Deeps faltered. His eyes twitched. He tripped over his own rewinded shoelaces.
“Yo,” Speed said, standing still, “I’m done running.”
Deeps panicked. He tried to rewind the moment—but Speed wasn’t moving. There was nothing to reverse.
“I ain’t fast anymore,” Speed said. “I’m just… chillin’.”
Time snapped.
BOOM.
Deeps unraveled into glittery slow-motion particles, sucked back into the time void with a final reversed whisper:
“...dooG saw sihT”
Chapter 5: Back to the Mac
Back in his room, Speed collapsed onto the floor. The Monster Mac was cold, but still good.
Meh called again. “Yo. You alive?”
“Yup,” Speed said, chewing. “He was just me, bro. Like… if I thought too much.”
“That’s terrifying,” Meh said. “Anyway, your next villain is a haunted dishwasher. Good luck.”
Click.
Speed sighed.
“Can I finish my burger first?!”
Nice story. Funny words ending. Keep going on.
