Meh meets Nova

 The battlefield was still smoking.

Meh stood in the center, cape fluttering, eyes glowing with every power imaginable. KT hovered beside him, lightning crackling in her hands. The rest of the team cheered in the distance after their latest victory.

Then—

BZZZT.

The sky split open like a broken screen. Pixels rained down. Sound distorted. Time froze.

Everyone stopped moving… except Meh.

From the crack in the sky, a figure stepped out. Hood up. Jacket shifting with living pixel patterns. A cyan glow pulsed from their eyes. A holographic compass floated beside them, spinning wildly.

Meh raised an eyebrow.
“Uh… new challenger?”

The figure said nothing. Just studied Meh.

KT whispered, “Why can they move? Everything else is frozen…”

The compass stopped spinning. The figure finally spoke in a calm, low voice.

“Too many powers. Too little balance.”

Meh crossed his arms.
“I worked hard for these powers, thank you very much.”

The figure lifted a hand. For a moment, Meh’s powers flickered — like a weak Wi-Fi signal.

Meh’s eyes widened.
“HEY. What did you just do?!”

“I am Nova,” the figure said. “Glitch Wanderer. Keeper of unstable realities.”

Meh smirked.
“Well, Nova, welcome to the Meh universe. If you came to fight, you’ll need more than fancy pixels.”

Nova’s eyes glowed brighter.

“If you are the core of this universe… then I must test if you’re stable enough to keep it alive.”

Time snapped back. The wind roared. The team unfroze. Energy surged.

Meh cracked his knuckles.

KT grinned.
“Ohhh this is gonna be good.”

And high above, the holographic compass spun again — faster than ever.

To be continued…
