Superman & Naruto: The World's Finest
Author's Note: The version of Superman/Clark Kent appearing in this story is heavily inspired by Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. He is also based on other sources such as Birthright and The New 52. Don't worry, there won't be any spoilers revealed in this story about Man of Steel. And I will not use kryptonite as a writing crutch.
Chapter 1:
End of a Planet/Birth of a Legend
Our story begin's on a planet thousand's of light years away from Earth called Krypton. The people of Krypton are quite similar to our own, except for several organs that all Kryptonians possess. Theses organs are the Kryptonian equivalent of our appendix, useless to them, or so they thought. Under a yellow sun these organs give Kryptonians power over men. Power that every man, woman, and child craves. Only one scientist knows the secret to obtain this incredible power. His name is Jor of the House of El, and his world is about to end.
It is a bright day on Krypton, the Red sun Rao shining brightly down on the scientist's Jor-El's living quarters. The view then shift's to the inside of Jor's compound. The wall's and floor's having a strange almost organic look to them. "Lara my wife, you know that I love you and our child Kal but, our world is ending and we must send our only son away", said Jor-El. "I'll never get to see him walk, I'll never get to hear him speak, never get to see him kiss a pretty girl", chokes out Lara. "Oh Rao Jor-El why!?", Screams out Lara Lor-Van. 'Lara my sweet, try to understand, Our son, my son Kal-El, I love him just as much as you do and I know what you're going through",sighed Jor-El. Jor-El then takes Kal-El from Lara's hands as tears fall from her face. "Goodbye my son...our hopes and dreams travel with you," said a teary eyed Jor-El. "You will give the people of Earth an ideal to strive toward, they'll race behind you, they'll stumble they will fall, but in time they will join you in the sun, in time...you will help them...accomplish wonders", Said Jor-El. The young child completely unaware of his fate reaches up to caress his fathers face as his father places him in a silver organic-like spaceship with the symbol for the House of El on it's front side. "How will he survive out there Jor-El, he'll die", chokes out a sobbing Lara Lor-Van. "I've told you my sweet, I built a stasis chamber to keep him aspleep for the entirety of the trip, and the trip itself will only be around a year long due to the warp drive", said Jor-El. As Lara stare longingly at the ship that incubates her infant child as Jor-El places a cylindrical object into a diamond shaped slot on the ship. Jor-El begins to cry as he presses the launch button for his son's ship as a wall in his lab explodes and an all too familiar voice screams out, " STOP IN THE NAME OF RAO". "Zod", said Jor-El. "Don't try to patronize me Jor-El, you broke Kryptonian law by having a naturally born child, we allowed it, and now you are attempting to commit treason by sending your abomination into space, HOW DARE YOU!," screams General Zod. "He is Krypton's only hope, our world is ending," says Jor-El. Jor-El then cries out,"Computer find my son a planet with weaker gravity, and a younger yellow sun that shines brighter than ours," he then slam's his hand on the launch button as Zod first shoots Lara, then as a blade extends from a slot in his gauntlet he stabs through Jor-El's heart whilst saying,"You deserved this Jor-El"...
