The House of El
Chapter One: The Destruction of Krypton
Three days before the end of Krypton. Jor-El wakes and begins the development of his son's ship. When his wife Lara Lor-Van wakes she begins helping him construct the spacecraft. Jor-El looks at his wife knowing that the planet could be destroyed at any point. Jor-El takes his wife's hand.
"Lara, I have given my word to the council that I will not leave Krypton. However you could escape. If we build a…" Lara interrupts.
"My place is by your side Jor-El. I will not leave you. This world you have chosen for our son to live on, he will not fit in." Jor-El sighs and starts working again on the ship. As he is programing the computer he begins speaking.
"He will look like them. His destiny is to be a grate man my love. Please Lara if one of us should live it is my wish that our family live on." Lara reaches up and pulls a strand of hair out of her head as does Jor-El. They each place their hair in a locket then exchange them. Jor-El holds his wife in his arms as he gently kisses her. They begin hearing a faint cry coming from the other room.
"Lara our family will live on. Now go. If my ears don't deceive me Kal-El is wanting your attention." Lara leaves to attend to her son. Jor-El begins the automated systems that will assist him in building the ship so he can leave to see the council.
On Planet Oa the Green Lantern by the name of Abin Sur is speaking with the guardians. He is making his case on attempting to save the residents of the planet Krypton.
"Guardians, I urge you to send squadrons of your best lanterns to this planet! It's distraction is eminent, and we are talking about the existence of an entire species!" Ganthet already greaves for the Kryptonians. He glanced around at his fellow Guardians able to read their minds and know their decision before the young Lantern knows of their decision. He hastily begins speaking.
"Take one squadron of lantern, No more than ten are allowed to make the journey. Now leave the flight to Krypton will take three days you haven't much time." The other guardians glare at the sympathetic fool. Abin Sur leaves quickly with nine other lantern to begin the rescue. Krona begins levitating and looks at the other guardians.
"Ganthet you went against our decision. How are we ever supposed to keep order when you let emotions cloud your judgement? We are all in agreement, if you go against what our decision is then you are going to be exiled and stripped of your power." Said Krona. Ganthet agrees to their decision knowing he was out of line.
The lanterns travel across space and arrive just as the planet is beginning to detonate. Abin Sur and the other lanterns dash to the surface as Krypton is meeting it's doom. The lanters are taken back at the sight of magma bursting forth from the elegant blue plant as they attempt to save as many Kryptonians as they can. Fishers open in the crust of the planet spewing forth death and destruction as the people scramble in a made race to save their own lives from the inevitable demise they are sure to face.
Abin Sur flies through the air searching homes for survivors when he notices a ship rip through the atmosphere. He makes his way to its origin post haste. He lands and sees a man dead on the ground. He is wearing what appears to be a suit if armor with a family crest on the chest piece. He hears a woman's voice speaking to someone. As he walks toward the voice the ground beneath his feet begins to tremble. With a determined mind he charges toward the voice and grabs her holding her close. He uses his ring and make a shield around their bodies as lava erupts around them.
He flies the woman and himself off of the planet. The other lanterns join them each only having a small handful of the residents. Abin Sur looks at the woman.
"were taking you to Oa." Before he continues speaking he sees the pain in her eyes. It's as if her very soul has been shattered. "Ma'am what is you name?" she attempts to compose herself long enough to answer the question.
"M- My name is Lara Lor-Van, I am, I mean I was the wife of Jor-El."
