Chapter 1: Destruction of a Diamond Store
Night has fallen on the town of Smallville, Kansas. Children have been put to bed and the older folks are with their husbands and wives drifting away into a good book. Clark Kent has now fallen asleep with dreams of Lana Lang...just like every night. Smallville is quiet, peaceful...but two miles down the road from the Kent's farm things are not. On a run down, broken, lifeless farm, an old farmer, grizzled and disgruntled stands alone in his field with a single hoe, slowly raking through the soil. The hoe continues to sweep across the field...revealing several fragments of kryptonite from the meteor shower, glowing bright green. The farmer moves his head up towards the sky with a blank look, he blinks once, and his eyes grow green as a frown appears on his face.
The next day at Smallville High School, Clark, Chloe, and Pete have just gotten out of a long, seemingly never ending Chemistry class. They are passing several other students as they head to lunch. "That had to be the worst fifty minutes of my life." Clark says.
"Yeah, that new teacher that replaced Mr. Radcliff is so mean. Thanks to him I not only have an English paper to write but twelve pages in the Chemistry book to do, and make sure I know everything about those twelve pages for the quiz he's giving us tomorrow." Pete says as they continue down a hallway.
"Rumor has it that new teacher is an Ex-Nazi." Chloe says.
"Wouldn't surprise me a bit." Clark replies. The three friends turn the corner, Clark sees Lana talking to Whitney by her locker. Clark continues to look as he watches Lana laugh and smile as her and Whitney talk. Lana notices Clark and looks at him for a moment, Clark smiles, still not looking away from her gaze.
"So Clark, have any hot news scoops I could use for the paper?" Chloe says to Clark, who is obviously not paying attention as they keep walking and he keeps staring. "Clark? Hello... earth to Clark Kent." Chloe says.
"Oh...yeah, Chloe...what did you say, I didn't hear you?" Clark asks.
"Well, I would tell you but I don't think you're interested."
"Lana always seems to have that affect on Clark." Pete says.
"No, Chloe, I was just...looking, over there. What did you ask me?"
"I was trying to ask you if you heard any news, spicy rumors, gossip...anything that I could use for the school paper." Chloe says.
"Nope, I don't know about anything like that." Clark replies.
"Running low on news for the paper, Chloe?" Pete asks.
"After last months big scandal about the football players that cheated on that big math exam there hasn't been much to write about." Chloe says. The three keep walking, as they are almost to the cafeteria four squad cars are seen speeding down the road with sirens blazing. Everyone in the area turns and looks at the cars wondering what's going on. Chloe's history teacher, Mr. Vern, comes around the corner in somewhat of a hurry.
"Mr. Vern, what's going on?" Chloe asks.
"According to a breaking news story that I just saw on the television in the Teacher's Lounge there is a madman down at Nile's Diamonds stirring up trouble." Mr. Vern replies as he walks away from the three.
"There's no way I'm missing this!" Chloe says as she reaches into her backpack and pulls out a small digital video camera.
"Oh no...Chloe, this is a bad idea." Clark says.
"Ah relax, they'll be plenty of tacos in the cafeteria next week...I'm with you Chloe, let's go." Pete says as the two cross the road and head towards Nile's Diamonds. Clark pauses for a second, shakes his head, looks around and finally decides to run along after them. Only a block away from the school is Nile's Diamonds, several of Smallville's police have arrived and are deciding on what to do. Chloe, Pete and Clark are coming down the road and approaching the scene. "Sorry, you three, but you're going to have to clear away from the area." A police officer says.
"What's going on in there?" Pete asks.
"That's none of you're business, and besides, we're not even that sure." The officer replies. Chloe begins recording the building and the police surrounding it. "Put the camera away, miss, and please...clear the area, this is a potentially dangerous area and I don't want to see any kids getting hurt. How about you all head back to school before something bad happens."
"Alright, no problem officer, we'll go now." Chloe says as she backs away with the other two. "I've got to get closer somehow, couldn't see anything with all the glare on the windows."
"No, Chloe, didn't you hear him, it's dangerous...and I don't want you getting hurt either." Clark says.
"Potentially dangerous...relax, Clark, I just want a few shots and then we'll go back to the school." Chloe says as she walks around looking for places that would provide the best shots. "Pete, talk to her, I have a bad feeling about this." Clark says to Pete while glancing over at Chloe, who seems to be walking away.
"If you couldn't convince her to get out of here, then what makes you think I can?" Pete says. Right after Pete finishes that sentence the chief of police gets on the loudspeaker and begins talking to the suspect inside.
"Alright, we know you're in there...and you know that there is no way you're going anywhere. The place is surrounded, on the count of three just come out quietly with you're hands in the air. One...two...three!" At that moment a man's body is sent flying out through one of the display windows, landing hard on the concrete sidewalk. Several officers run up to the man to see if he's alright.
"It's the owner of the store, chief!" An officer yells to the police chief.
"Holy...wow! Did you see that, Clark?!" Pete says as he looks over at the man and the broken window.
"Yeah, I saw it. This doesn't look good...hey, where's Chloe?" Clark says. Clark and Pete look around and see Chloe, with her video camera at the side of the building looking through one of the windows recording the action inside. The two run over to her and also take a look inside. "Chloe, I'm telling you...something is definitely not right here."
"Can't leave now, Clark, look at this...it's just starting to get good!" Chloe says. Clark accepts that his friends aren't planning on going back to school anytime soon, so he looks back through the window, still with a bad feeling about the events to come.
The chief of police puts down the loudspeaker and gets around his police force to tell them the plan. Moments later they begin to slowly get closer to the entrance. The doors burst open and inside a man, the same man as the lone farmer in the field of meteor fragments stands at the end of the room sweeping several expensive diamonds and jewels into a small black bag. He wears dirty old overalls and a long coat, his head is bald on the top, but on the sides and back he has somewhat long, unclean white hair. He stands with his back facing the police, not acknowledging them at all.
"Turn around with you're hands in the air! Now!" An officer yells as he and the other officers hold their weapons high, aimed at the mysterious old man. He raises his hands in the air, still holding the black bag and still with his back turned to the police. "Turn around...slowly!" The officer says with a nervous tone. The old man in the overalls moves his right arm forward towards the wall, a solid brick wall...he touches it and holds it on there for a few moments, then draws it back. He turns around, slowly, with his head down. A second or two passes and he raises it and looks at the officers who hold their firearms only a few feet from his face. An officer begins to approach him with handcuffs in one hand and his gun in the other. "Now don't you even think about moving...you've caused enough trouble." As the officer takes another step the man swiftly knocks the gun from his hands and grabs his neck, lifting him up by it. The officer begins to choke, he looks into the old
man's eyes...which grow bright green. The old man in the overalls sends the officer flying through the air and crashing down through one of the display cases. Before the other officers have a chance to react to what's going on the old man has knocked several of their guns out of their hands and is throwing them around like rag dolls.
"Oh my god! Are you getting this, Chloe?!" Pete says as the three watch the strange events going on inside.
"Of course I am...man, is that guy strong or what?" Chloe says. More officers rush in and decide they have no choice but to open fire, several of them begin shooting. Most bullets make contact, but none penetrate the old mans skin, or even seem to hurt him in any way. The Smallville Police are stunned, their weapons have no effect, and more and more of them are getting slammed into walls or thrown out of the building by the old man with the green eyes.
"What the hell is going on in there?!" The Smallville chief of police asks one of his trusted officers as they stand outside listening to bullets fly...and policemen fly everywhere.
"I don't know, Sir...something's not right with this guy, he's seems to be incredibly strong and resistant to our weapons." The officer replies.
"Well, fire a couple canisters of tear gas in there. We'll smoke him out, then hopefully get him into custody." The police chief says.
"Right, sir, we're on it." The officer replies. Back at the side of the building, Clark, Chloe and Pete still watch through the window.
"I can't believe what I'm seeing! This guy is invincible! The bullets didn't even faze him!" Pete says in shock as he witnesses the strange events inside.
"Can't believe it? Come on, this is nothing compared to some of the other weirdness we've come across." Chloe says as she continues to record. Back in the front of the building, tear gas is loaded into three guns three officers are holding, they aim and wait for the signal.
"Fire the tear gas!" The police chief yells after a few moments. The canisters crash through what's left of the windows and explode in the center of the room. The gas surrounds the old man, and everything else inside. It moves out through the windows and doors up towards the sky, forcing Clark, Chloe and Pete to move away, but Chloe continues recording. Inside...nothing is visible. Troops with gas masks enter the building holding automatic weapons.
"This just keeps getting better!" Pete says as the three watch from about 20 feet away as the smoke continues to rise out from the building.
"What do you thinks going on in there?" Chloe asks as she continues to film the scene.
"Well, I don't hear anymore gunshots, that's a good sign." Clark says. The police chief gets on the radio to talk to the men inside.
"Have you taken him down yet, guys?" He asks.
"No, sir." An officer says over the radio while inside the smoke filled store.
"Do you see the suspect? Is he down, or passed out from the tear gas?" The police chief asks.
"Well...not exactly, sir." The officer says back.
"What do you mean?" The police chief asks.
"The thing is, the suspect is not in here anymore...he's just, gone, sir." The officer replies.
"That's impossible, we have every inch of this area covered with cops...there's no way he could just not be there." The police chief says.
"We don't see any sign of him, chief." The officer says. The police chief seems puzzled. As the smoke begins to clear as the officers exit the completely torn up store. There is no one left inside, the man with the green eyes has vanished.
"Did they...catch him?" Pete asks as he sees the officers return and take their masks off.
"I don't think so, Pete." Clark says.
"So, he...or whatever that was, is on the loose." Chloe says as she slowly puts down her camera.
"Come on, we better get back." Clark says. The three begin walking back to school, looking back at the scene...fearful of events to come.
