Meh: Return of the Fartstorm

By Alan Nguyen

It had been three peaceful days since the chaos at Meh High — no explosions, no glowing fumes, and thankfully, no “Fart Energy Surges.”

But peace never lasts long for Team Meh.

ALN was chilling on the bleachers, sipping a soda, when KT ran up with a panicked look.

“ALN — we’ve got a problem,” KT said, shoving a cracked tablet into his hands.

On the screen was a name flashing in red: DR. STINKOVICH.

“Who?” ALN asked.

“The world’s leading expert in bio-gas engineering,” KT replied. “He’s been tracking Fart ever since Project Fartstorm leaked online.”

Fart, who was half-asleep nearby, blinked. “He what?”

Before anyone could respond, the gym lights flickered. Smoke filled the air. A mechanical laugh echoed through the room.

Out of the mist stepped a tall figure in a green lab coat and gas mask. His name tag read:

Dr. Stinkovich — Master of Odor and Doom.

He raised a metallic canister. “You fools think you can contain such divine stench? Fart’s power belongs to me!”

Mads rolled her eyes. “Great. A villain obsessed with smells.”

“Silence!” Stinkovich shouted, pressing a button. Suddenly, vents burst open, flooding the gym with toxic green fog.

Alexis covered her nose. “Ugh, this is worse than the cafeteria burrito day!”

DT typed furiously on his laptop. “He’s hacking the school ventilation system — using Fart’s old energy signature!”

ALN clenched his fists. “Then we fight stink with stink.”

He turned to Fart. “Buddy, time to go nuclear.”

Fart hesitated. “Are you sure? Last time—”

“Just do it.”

Moments later…

The battle raged across the gym. KT’s gadgets sparked as he redirected the fog into containment barrels.

Mads hurled de-stink bombs that fizzled in green smoke.

Alexis used her phone to jam the villain’s signal, while DT hacked into Stinkovich’s exosuit.

Finally, ALN and Fart faced the villain together.

“You can’t control what you don’t respect!” Stinkovich hissed.

Fart grinned. “I respect it every day.”

He turned, focused all his might… and unleashed the Mega Fartstorm.

The explosion of wind and neon gas sent Stinkovich flying out the window, screaming, “I’ll be back, you foul children!”

Silence fell again. The air cleared — barely.

KT coughed. “I think I tasted that one.”

Mads waved her hand. “Gross, but… nice work, Fart.”

ALN smiled. “Team Meh wins again.”

DT closed his laptop. “For now. But if Stinkovich survived…”

Alexis shrugged. “Then we’ll just flush him out next time.”

Everyone groaned.
