Clark starred at the Earth as he floated away inside the crystal prison he was currently trapped in. He was close to tears thinking that he might never see his home world again. He banged on the glass a few time to no avail. Suddenly, the ground beneath him disappeared and he began to fall. He began rolling uncontrollably down the side of a mountain of sand. Finally, he came to a stop at the base of the mountain. As he picked himself up he was shocked to taste blood. He put his fingers to his lips and was amazed at the sight of blood. He starred at the blood for a few seconds before taking in his surroundings. He was surrounded by mountains of dirt, the sky was a bright white and full of dark clouds. As he looked around halfway up one of the mountains he noticed a body covered in a red hood.

"Ruby," he realised as he raced up to her.

"Ruby?" He asked as he gently shook her in an attempt to wake her up. When she didn't respond he began to worry if she was alive or not. Then he noticed her breathing and a wave of relief washed over him. A whoosh sound came from behind them but when Clark spun around no one was there. "Hello, is anyone there?!" He called out. When nothing happened he turned back to Ruby. Suddenly a creature covered in black cloth began flying towards him. The creature attacked using its claws to cut and slice Clark creating deep gashes across his body. He fell to the ground in pain as the creature began dragging him down the mountain. Soon others appeared and joined in attacking Clark. Just when Clark was about to pass out he was bathed in blue light. The creatures flew away wailing in pain. Clark opened his eyes to find a person covered in white cloth. "Thank you," he mumbled, between coughs as he tried to get up. Before he got the chance the person launched a front kick at his head, knocking him unconscious. He removed the cloth surrounding her face to reveal a young woman.

"Welcome to the Phantom Zone," she greeted.

Lexcorp Building, Vale

Zod in Lex's body holds out a silver disk with his family crest on it. A piece of technology left behind by Brainiac. A hologram appears on it and a line of Kryptonian text appears. After reading it he smiles and turns to his wife. Faora in Weiss' body smiles back.

"Do you know where he is?" She asks hopefully.

"Of course," he says as he hold up the device.

Professor Ozpin lead a group of huntsmen thought the city, assisting the police in stopping the riots that had broken out of the incredible and mysterious event that had caused all dust in the area to become useless. Bart raced up to Ozpin, dressed in civilian clothes of course.

"Sir, I can't find Clark anywhere," he reported. Before Ozpin could respond someone shouted, "Look up there!" They looked up to see two figures flying through the air above them. One was black whilst the other was white. They were to high up and to fast to identify but Bart and Ozpin both knew who they were. "That was Zod wasn't it, pit was Lex and Weiss?" Bart asked hoping he was wrong.

"Clark must not have been able to get to Lex in time to stop them," Ozpin explained what he believed happened. "I don't know about Weiss but Zod must have taken over Lex."

"Clark. You don't think Zod actually..." Bart couldn't finish the sentence.

"I don't know," Ozpin answered truthfully. "The dagger that Jor-El gave to Clark if we can find it we might be able to use it to stop Zod," the Professor thought out load.

"You mean kill him?" Bart asked in disbelief. "Kill Lex?"

"Bart, we are running out of options. If we don't stop Zod soon, who knows what's he'll do." Bart thought for a few moments.

"I'll make my way to the Fortress up at the North Pole and see if I can learn anything about what Zod or where Clark is," he suggested. Ozpin nodded in agreement before Bart raced off north.

Phantom Zone

Clark awoke feeling sore all over. His pain continued as a leg smashed into his stomach. "Where are you from?" The lady who saved him demanded. "Where?!"

Clark sat up and looked at her. "I was born on Krypton and raised on Earth," he explained.

The woman stopped and starred at him.

"Earth?" She asked curiously. Clark nodded.

"Kal-El?" She asked.

"How do you know my Kryptonian name?" He asked her.

"I knew your father."

"Who are you?" Clark asked the woman. He'd taken off his trench coat and shirt so that she could clean his wounds.

"Raya. Not that names matter here," she replied.

"Where is 'here,' exactly?" Clark asked as he looked around his surroundings.

"Jor-El created this place to hold criminals from the 28 known inhabited galaxies," Raya explained.

"So, it's a prison. That makes you... an inmate," he realised.

"I may be trapped here, but I'm not one of the prisoners," she explains.

"What, am I supposed to just trust you?" He asks, obviously not believing her.

"Good," she responds flatly. "In the Zone, trust can get you killed... or worse. The most vicious offenders are condemned for eternity, their corporeal bodies destroyed, their essence haunting the wasteland.

"The Phantoms, like the ones that attacked me."

"The crystal your father gave me is the only thing they fear," she revealed holding out the blue crystal.

"How did you know Jor-El?" He asked curious about this girls relationship with his father.

"I was one of his assistants," she stated much to Clarks disbelief.

"When you were 5?" He rhetorically asked as he realised she had to be lying.

"Time is meaningless here," she explained causing Clark to feel guilty. Imagine having to live in a prison full of criminals for eternity. "I wanted to stay with Jor-El in Kryptons final hours. But he wouldn't hear of it. He thought I'd have a better chance in the Phantom Zone."

"Why didn't he and my mother come with you?" He asked.

"Because he wouldn't stop trying to save Krypton, and your mother wouldn't leave his side," she says with a small smile. "This is all I have left of your father," she explains as she looks at the crystal in her hands. "Every day, he still saves my life." They sat in silence as she finished cleaning his wounds.

"I have to go. I...have to stop Zod," Clark announced as he put his shirt back on.

"Zod?" Raya asked in confusion.

"He's on Earth because of me," Clark explained. "Raya, you were my father's assistant. You helped him create this place. Is there a way out?" He asked desperately

"Zod is a soldier. He will kill you."

"If there was a way for you to save everyone you loved, wouldn't you risk dying?" He argued.

She smiled at him.

"You truly are your fathers son. There's a gateway you can use to go back to where you came from," she explained. Just then a moaning sound came from behind them. They turned around to see Ruby coming to.

"Ruby, are you okay?" He asked as he raced over to her.

"What happened?" She asked weakly as she took in her surroundings.

"Do you remember the Luthorcorp building?" He asked hoping she hadn't received memory loss. Ruby thought back to rooftop.

"I was running up the side of the building and when I arrived on the roof Lex Luthor and Weiss where standing there with you. There was a silver disk heading right for me then a flash of white light," she recalled. "But how did we get here?" She asked as she looked around. "And who the heck is that?" She asked as she spotted Raya starring at her.

Clark sighed aloud.

"I'm so sorry I got you into al this. It's my fault," he stated naturally taking the blame.

"Sorry for what?" Ruby asked bewildered.

"When we get home I promise I'll explain everything but right now we have to get back to Earth." he sated.

"What do you mean get back to Earth? Where are we?" She asked again nervously.

"Ruby, I haven't been completely honest with you," he says. Ruby arches an eyebrow. He looks up into her silver eyes.

"I'm an alien."

Fortress of Solitude

Bart came to a stop inside of the Fortress.

"Jor-El, I'm here because I can't find Clark and I think Zods taken over Lex's body and the same things happened to a friend of ours," he shouted. A few moments passed and Bart stood there in silence, waiting impatiently. He opened his mouth and was going to shout again when Jor-El spoke.

"I gave Kal-El a dagger to kill the vessel of Zod. Instead, he chose to use it against Fine," Jor-El explained.

"Where is he? Where is Clark?" Bart asked.

"The dagger is part of this Fortress. Plunging it into Fine destroyed all copies of him but also damaged this structure and released Zod and his wife Faora," Jor-El explained, ignoring Bart's question.

"So Zod and his wife have taken over Lex and Weiss' bodies," Bart realised. "What happened to Clark?" Bart demanded.

"Banished forever, by Zod," he explained. Bart was taken back by that. Banished!

"Bring him back. You have to bring him back," Bart demanded.

"That is not within my power. His destiny is now his own." That's was it, Bart had had enough.

"I've lost my memories and my life!" He shouted. "And your son has helped me, he's been my best friend!" He shouted in anger.

"We have both lost much, Bart Allen. But you must put aside your anguish if you wish to save your world. Kal-El's mission must be completed. Retrieve the dagger and kill Zod and Faora's Vessels," he instructed. Bart looked around in anger.

"You want me to murder my friend?" He asked in disbelief.

"Faora has taken over your friends body and has been given all the powers of a true Kryptonian." Bart sighed aloud.

"Let's say I am willing to kill them, how am I supposed to do that?"

The dagger I gave Kal-El, you must retrieve it and use it," Jor-El explained.

"Just one tiny problem with that plan," Bart said sarcastically. "I don't know where it is. It could be anywhere!"

"It is on the roof of the Luthor Corp building in Vale," Jor-El revealed.

"How do you know that?" Bart asked.

"As I said before the dagger is connected to this Fortress, I can locate it anywhere."

"I'm not a killer," Bart mumbled.

"For the sake of your world Zod and Faora must be killed." Before Bart could continue to argue there was a flash of white light. When Bart looked around him he was standing on top of a building in the middle of Vale. I front of him lay the Kryptonian dagger.

Author's note:

Chapter one of Volume 2 done, I hope you liked it.

Just a quick reminder of this combination of these two worlds:

The grim only arrived when Clark came to Earth.

Krpytonite landed all over the world and that's what caused semblances and Faunus.

Also Clark does not have his family crest on his costume yet.

If you have any comments or suggestions PM me or make a review.

Thank you.
