Speed vs Tempo: The Clash of Timing
A story from the world of www.mehseries.com
Panel 1
(Meh HQ – inside the training chamber)
Narration: It was a normal afternoon at Meh HQ… until the alarms went off.
Meh (thinking): Something’s off. Speed never triggers the training alarms…
Panel 2
Speed blurs across the room, knocking over chairs, leaving trails of electricity
Tempo (entering, calm): Again, Speed? You can’t just rush into the chamber without alerting the system.
Speed (grinning): You’re too slow, Tempo. The system should keep up, not me!
Panel 3
Tempo taps his wristband. Time slows slightly around him, letting him dodge Speed’s motion blur with perfect rhythm.
Tempo: It’s not about how fast you are. It’s about when you act. Timing beats speed.
Panel 4
Meh enters and sits on a crate of broken tech pieces.
Meh: You two fight every week. Why not make it official?
Tempo and Speed (together): Official?
Panel 5
Outside – a wide, obstacle-filled arena
Narration: And so, the “Timing Trials” were born.
Meh (with megaphone): First to the core wins. No shortcuts. No time-hacks. Just you and your skills.
Panel 6
Speed blasts forward immediately, kicking up dust. Tempo waits, then starts with steady, strategic movements.
Spectator (Fart): Speed’s way ahead! Tempo’s toast!
Gerald (arms crossed): Don’t be so sure…
Panel 7
Speed hits a moving platform and slips. Tempo gracefully leaps from platform to platform, never missing a beat.
Tempo (thinking): It’s not the pace… it’s the pattern.
Panel 8
Both approach the final stretch. Speed zips forward—but triggers a trap!
Meh: Oh snap! He forgot the rhythm of the gate sequence!
*Tempo slides through just as the trap resets, touching the core.
Tempo: Time.
Panel 9
Speed sits, panting.
Speed: You win… this time.
Tempo (smirking): Want a rematch? You’ll need to train your timing.
Speed: You’re on.
Panel 10
Meh raises a scoreboard: “Tempo – 1 | Speed – 0”
Narration: In the world of Meh, fast is good… but perfect timing? That’s legendary.
