Clark stood at the edge of the cornfield, watching the world pass him by. It was early evening, and as he stared at the stars above he wondered just what life had in store for him. It had been two days since he had made the discovery, and from that moment on his life had been irrevocably changed. For the better, or for worse was the question that preyed on his mind. He would never have imagined things would turn out the way they had, but he knew now it would be a turning point in his life. He softly sighed, his mind wandering back to the events that had already transpired…
Fifteen minutes passed and he was brought back into reality. He made his decision shortly after the vision of his father. He would return to New Krypton for a short period of time, make sure things are in order and stay that way, then return to Earth to be with his family and friends. He brought his friends and his parents together in their living room and told them of his decision, causing Lana, Chloe, and Martha to start crying, and Pete and Jonathon had a sign of tears in their eyes. Lex was also in the room, Clark felt he couldn't hide his secret from Lex anymore either.
"I'm going to miss you guys." Clark said to his parents, he was now in tears. They gave each other a big, long hug, all three not wanting to let go.
"We've loved you since the day we found you Clark." His father managed to say.
"Come back to us now, you hear?" Martha said, trying to stay calm, but couldn't hold back the tears that filled her eyes.
"Pete, you're my best friend. I'm gonna miss you so much." He said to Pete, giving him a hug.
"I'm gonna miss you too man." Pete said, returning the hug. Clark moved over to Lex now.
"Lex. I'm glad we got to know each other this year. I'll miss you too." Clark said, giving Lex a hug goodbye, Lex looked as if he could cry too, but managed to stay calm. Clark moved over to Chloe now.
"You better be ready for an interview for when you return Clark." She attempted to say as a joke, but she was mostly crying.
"I love you Chloe, my best friend, I'll miss you." They hugged for a while, and he then moved to Lana.
"Lana. I really am going to miss you." He said, attempting to hide his tears.
"I'm gonna miss you too Clark Kent. I'm glad we got to be the good friends that we are now. But hey, look at the bright side, I'll see you in a few months." She gave him a long hug and retreated back next to Chloe, grabbing her arm as Chloe handed her a Kleenex.
"It's time Clark." Max said entering the living room, getting a long stare from Clark's family.
Everyone followed Max and Clark outside in front of the house, where a ship could be seen coming through the sky and landing a short ways in front of them. The giant ship landed, and doors immediately opened, revealing a short walkway up into the ship. Max quickly entered the ship, leaving Clark. Clark turned to look at the people he loved, gave them a short wave, and began his walk into the ship, tears flowing down his eyes. I love you guys. He entered the ship and the doors closed, and as soon as the doors closed, the ship was rising above the ground and soared into the sky.
"Hello Kal-El, welcome." A man said, Clark assuming it was Commander L.
"Hi, I'm Clark." Clark said extending his hand. The man laughed and Clark was now confused.
"Oh, my dear boy, just like your father. That project in your room of your father. I did it. One thing Max failed to mention, mainly because I never told him, was that the enemies did gain control of New Krypton. And now we're on our way to exterminating all relatives of those who banished us to a hell prison for years." Clark's eyes widened and he was about to use his speed but the man pulled out a weird looking gun and stunned him. Clark was paralyzed.
"I want you to take a look boy, and see the fate of those you love." He said, turning Clark to face a window, and he saw Earth not too far away. It was a big blue ball. BOOM. Earth exploded and became nothing but dust and fragments.
"NO!" Clark screamed in horror. He fell to his knees, with what little strength he had and just cried. He slowly turned, and saw Max was in shock as well.
"Go ahead. Kill me. That way I can be with my family instead of here." Clark managed to say.
"Oh no, that would be too easy."
***********
"NO!" Clark shouted, awakening from the nightmare. He was back in his bed, confused as to what just happened. Had it been a dream? It sure as hell seemed real. He hurried down the steps and found his father sitting at the kitchen table, and his mother cooking breakfast.
"Morning sleepyhead." His father said jokingly. The sun shined brightly through the kitchen windows, causing Clark to squint his eyes a bit.
"What day is it?" Clark asked real fast, before his mother could say anything too.
"Sunday. Clark, are you feeling alright?" Jonathon asked.
"I don't know, am I supposed to meet Chloe, Lana, and Pete out in the woods later?" He asked.
"As a matter of fact, Chloe called not too long ago wanting us to remind you to be out there by 8. Which means you better get a move on, we were just about to wake you up our self." Martha said. Clark used his speed and made his way to the woods and found the three friends waiting for him.
"Finally, Clark Kent arrives." Pete said walking next to his friend.
"So why are we out here again?" Clark asked, still shaken up from the dream.
"Remember, last night we all saw something fall from the sky. We didn't know what it was, we decided to wait until morning to check it out." Chloe said, surprised at Clark's memory loss.
Oh god, it was a dream. If the ship is here, then that means everything will be coming true and I might lose them again. I have to figure out a way to stop it this time around, and I'm going to need their help.
He told his friends to follow him and he was instantly able to show them what had landed.
"How did you know that was there Clark?" Lana asked, which now caused the three of them to stare at Clark curiously..
"Okay, we don't have much time, you guys are never going to believe this, and if we don't hurry we're all going to die."
