Chapter 14: Finale
Jor-El and Lara stared at the child in the ship that was preprogrammed to go to Smallville, Kansas on the planet Earth. He had discovered that his brother had placed his own daughter in a larger ship that holds a Sleeper unit so that the Kara could grow up and be taken care of by the ship. Jor-El & Lara couldn't afford to build such a ship, but he was loading some crystals that comprised the Chronicles that he was making so that their son could learn what happened to Krypton.
"I'm concerned, Jor-El that no one would love him," Lara said, frightened for the child being sent out in space to a planet scientifically primitive than their own. While Earth Cultures and religious views and music had become popular in the last few years among Krypton's Citizens, from a technological and scientific stance, Earth was primitive. But as Jor-El had pointed out that Kal-El would need that advantage.
"His destiny is set, my love. He will lead Earthlings as an example. Just as Jesus of Nazareth was sent to save his people, so I am sending them, Kal-El. I know the time of our planet's destruction is close, but I need to send him one more message. Hand me the purple Crystal, my love," Jor-El said pointing to the purple crystal. The ship would have a compartment to store the crystals but should the ship be destroyed, the Crystals would be scattered around the planet and in Krypton's past.
"Kal-El my son, I have one mission to for you that you must do before you begin your destiny. Kara will mature physically like you will, but her mind will be that of a child. You must train her both in the ways of Earth and Krypton. She will aid you just as my daughter will in discovering your destiny. Be safe my son, my life. And know that your mother and I love you and always will. Our spirit will be with you," Jor-El said. He placed the crystal in the compartment, then grabbed the special key that bore the Kryptonian Hieroglyphics which was used to power the ship. He inserted it, and the small ship's ion drive began to power up. Jor-El felt the rumble again. They had 2 hours left before the planet would die.
"I love you, my son. May you be safe and be loved," Lara said as she kissed her child on the forehead, and the ship closed up to protect it's cargo, and it's passenger.
"Launch sequence complete." Spoke the computer in Jor-El's home that was not tied into Brainiac-1. The ship angled itself, and took off for the Sol Galaxy.
"I love you," Jor-El whispered as the ship struggled to escape Krypton's gravity well. He then saw another ship take off that had to be Zor-El's one and only daughter, his only heir, Kara of Krypton.
