Superman: Dynasty
Prologue
In another part of the universe called Andromeda, pieces of debris and fragments of a lost civilization float in the eternal void of space. These fragments were once the pieces that made up a planet, which served as a home to specie greater than any other. This planet was called Krypton, and many believe that there are no more who survived this catastrophic event.
But then again, many do believe that there is one survivor. Many believe that there was one who was able to make a journey from Krypton to a planet that was far behind his own in technology; a planet that was so alien to him. That is what many believed.
However, the truth is far much more different than what is said. In truth, Kal-El of Krypton couldn't even understand lest comprehend what had been going on for the last few months in his life for he was merely an infant boy. He was merely a newborn child to a brilliant scientist and his beautiful wife.
The scientist had a theory, and it was widely rejected although it was true. He believed that within a few months time, the planet Krypton would shatter into a billion pieces because of their impending collision with the sun. He was shunned away by his fellow scientists, and was given the option to act or die.
It was from this scientist that a hope was spawned on the alien planet on which Kal-El was sent to. It was from this scientist that this civilization—this specie of Krypton—was able to survive. It was from this scientist that his son Kal-El became Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas.
The story isn't quite clear yet to those who know. In fact, not many know at all how the baby came into the possession of Jonathan and Martha Kent. The residents of Smallville know that he came at the time a meteor shower had struck Smallville and killed many, resulting in one of the most catastrophic disasters of all time. The question that struck them was: where did he come from exactly?
Martha explained to the others that Clark was just a lost child they found and had pity for, and the couple who owned a farm in Smallville formally adopted the little boy.
With virtue and wisdom, they raised young Clark to be a man who knew that he was to be a force for good. But as he grew older, he became angry with himself as he understood that he was not normal like the other boys and girls at school. Nevertheless, Clark grew up and he became a man.
After graduating from Metropolis University, many things happened to Clark. He had many life-altering experiences that gave him one great resolution in the end: his powers that were caused by his physiology as an alien and the sun were to be used for the good of all mankind.
Moving to permanent residence in Metropolis, Clark acted as a mild-mannered reporter for a metropolitan newspaper called the Daily Planet. In doing so, he was able to learn first of whatever dangers may lurk in the streets of Metropolis so that when they did, he would be able to become the Last Son of Krypton; the scion of hope for Metropolis; the one they called Superman.
Alas, that is his story. That is the legend of Kal-El of Krypton.
But wait. Don't leave yet. The story has not ended. This tale had barely begun. Stay for awhile and watch this tale unfold as we return to the far reaches of space in the galaxy of Andromeda, where the last pieces of Krypton lay in its wake.
A piece of floating rock… A shattered stone… Large crystalline structures… These are the items that float in space at the part that was once the great and mighty Krypton, home to the once-powerful and great. But now, nothing stands there other than the pieces of Krypton that remain from its apocalyptic destruction.
A tiny pebble is among these pieces. It could've been from anything that was of Krypton. It could've been from a tall mountain or a deep cavern or even a structure built by the people of Krypton themselves. Such a tiny piece of rock can be vital information to that which once was the greatest civilization in the entire universe.
The pebble floats across space from a large blade-shaped rock towards one of the large floating crystalline structures that resemble many others in the asteroid field that lay in Krypton's wake. The pebble collides with the structure, and all the sudden, something happens.
It is amazing that something so small can cause great things to move. In this case, it is amazing how one pebble makes the entire crystal white structure glow in the darkness of space so brightly like the sun along with its twin structures, which have also begun to glow bright white as well.
And then, it moves! The crystalline structure begins to move all by itself as if it had independent thought. It moves as if it had an idea of direction. It moves as if it was beginning to go down a road.
And along with it, the others structures move as well.
They move, not in a single file, but in a disarranged order towards the same direction outside of their galaxy. The more they move the more speed they suddenly begin to pick up.
These structures, once thought to be ruins of Krypton's massive buildings, were all but buildings in fact. They were ships. Shuttles designed to house a being for an entire lifetime. They were shuttles that had picked up a recent flight trajectory in the system, thus causing them to follow it until they reached the planet where the trajectory ended.
They hurdled through space towards Earth.
