Love...
Love is the reason why Alura will send her only daughter away from this dying planet.
The once great planet of Krypton is now slowly reaching its end. As the sun's radiation finally breaching the planet's atmosphere, the constant trembles coming from Krypton's core causes buildings and cracks from different sectors of the great planet, and the screams of different kryptonians are signs of doom to this poor planet.
Her husband, Zor-el, a famous scientist, knew that eventually this would happen. For unknown reason, the red sun grows bigger until eventually, the heat and radiation would affect the planet and kill all living creatures; until it could no longer withstand the heat and Krypton will explode.
Zor-el tried to warn the council, the governing body of this planet, and yet they did not believed and remained hoping that a messiah will come and save this world from its near end.
No messiah came.
That is why Zor-el along with his older brother, Jor-el, built spaceships that will travel to Earth, a planet which will make kryptonians invulnerable and bestow god-like powers due to its yellow sun.
Unfortunately, only two spaceships were made. They lack the time of creating more. Alura can't help but feel sadness and pity to her 14 year old daughter and Kal-el. They will grow up feeling different and alone becuase they are not regular humans...
They will always be kryptonians.
"Mom! Where are we going?" Kara asked as she is follows her mother deep into her father's laboratory.
"Just follow me, Kara" Alura ordered with a stern voice. She wasn't liked this to her daughter. She was always the soft one between her and Zor-el.
Kara understood her mother. She knew that the planet is moments away from being destroyed. She's just hoping that whatever her parents are planning it involves their whole family being safe alongside with Kal-el's family.
The long hallway has finally ended. They have finally reached Zor-el's laboratory. Inside, Zor-el is working on a computer, configurating the destination and coordinates of Earth, Kara's new home.
Kara saw that everything was a mess. Tools and machine parts were all over the floor. Slowly, she could feel the heat from Krypton's core finally radiating from the ground. Her knees tremble as the constant earthquakes rattle the planet.
Zor-el, a man filled with hopes and dreams of saving this planet, finally understood that this will never happen. The red sun has begun growing at extreme rate. The heat is causing Krypton's core to become unstable. Any moments from now, they will all be gone.
But not her daughter.
Kara and Kal-el will be saved and krypton with them. With the help of his brother, they created a way for them to have a little piece of Krypton, hidden inside a crystal which is in Kal-el's ship. Kara will guide him. He knows that she will not let her only baby cousin grow old alone and not know who they really are and what they can become in Earth.
"Father!" Kara shouted.
Zor-el saw them and finally led her daughter to sit on the spaceship. A spaceship that can only have one passenger.
Kara realizes this and began crying.
"Mom..." she cried, "You can't leave me like this. Come with me, please. I beg you"
Alura wanted nothing else but be with her daughter but she can't. She tried to restraint herself from crying but it failed as soon as she saw her daughter begging for her to be with her.
"I know..." Alura cried as she strap her daughter into place, "but there is no other choice, my dove"
"There has to be a way" Kara replied. She turned towards her father, busy with opening the hatch for the spaceship to lift off, "Father! I beg you , please don't let me leave you and mother."
Zor-el tried his best to not get affected by her daughter's plead and just did his work.
The spaceship was ready to lift off. The onky thing that is left is to close the window and launch the rocket.
Zor-el looked as his daughter. His beautiful daughter. He knows that she will grow strong and make him and Alura proud. Rao will guide her and Kal-el.
"It's almost done, Alura" He says as the ground releases a series of tremors.
Alura nods and looks at her daughter.
"Listen to me, Kara" she says, "you must not forget who you are and where you came from. I know that someday, humans will see you and Kal-el as their saviours. Guide him and let him know about us and his parents. Rao will guide you on your path and we will always love you."
Alura taken off her neclace, a rare black diamond with the sign of El inside of it and gave it to her only daughter.
"Always remember our love" She said, "Your father and I will always love you".
Kara cried but understood the situation.
The tremor is starting to get worse. Outside of the laboratory, the earthquakes are now starting to cause sink holes and other calamities.
Zor-el saw a white streak in the sky and immediately relaized it's Kal-el's spaceship blasting into space. He quickly closed the window and prepared Kara's ship to start.
His heart felt like it was going to burst as he could see her only daughter crying as she tried to scream their name.
He pressed the button and finally the engine started to live as in just 5 seconds the spaceship blaated out of the laboratory and into space.
Zor-el tried his best to get to his wife as the ground is causing earthquakes that the laboratory could not sustain anymore. He loved Alura and once he held her hand for the last time, he knew that they did the right thing.
Alura was afraid to die but she knows that if dying meant saving her daughter, then she will gladly accept death.
They stare at each other and looked to space, where Kara is right now.
Meanwhile, Kara finally gets out of Krypton's atmosphere and into space.
She was alone. She could not hear anything and see anything in space. Just a vast world of nothingness. Then, she saw something beside her ship, it was kal-el's ship. Her 3 months old cousin, wrapped in a blue and red cloth with the symbol of El embroided in it.
Her mother always said that the symbol of El means Hope. And somehow, she no longer felt being alone. She has Kal-el and together, they will be fine.
Until She heard the loudest explosion happen. She looked and saw the explosion of Krypton. It caused both herself and cousin's ship to tremble.
And the worst thing has happened.
Her ship was hit by one of the rocks and her ship started to go off track with its coordinates. A loud voice saying 'ERROR' started to repeat itself. Kara saw her ship and Kal-el's started to drift apart.
As her ship started to shake tremendously, She screamed his cousin's name until she hit her head and finally loss conciousness.
