(Short Chapter, but I hope it works…)
"Jor-El!" Clark screamed as Lar Gand and he entered the cave, only to be greeted with silence.
"Where are you?! I have had enough!" again Clark received no reply.
"Let me try something." Said Lar as he walked over to the cave wall and used his x-ray vision to locate the computer hidden within. "how do you open this?" he asked as he turned toward Clark.
Clark opened the cave wall to the hidden room and followed Lar in. Quickly Lar located the control panel hidden under the stone table in the middle of the room. After a quick scan of the system he turned to Clark. "Clark it looks like something has over written Jor-El's records."
No sooner had he finished that thought than the room lit up and they turned to see Dr. Swan " Very good, Lar Gand of Daxam. But that will not help you." Then Dr. Swan did the impossible and stood, his eyes glowing a bright amber color and his hands seemed to crackle with energy. "Jor-El was weak and you Kal-El will pay the price for your disobedience." He announced as he launched himself toward the speechless teens.
Before either had time to react he had thrown Lar to the ground and was holding Clark by the throat. "You are the last and I find you unworthy." Hissed Swan. "But I will make you the Last true Son of Krypton."
"Clark! It's the Eradicator program we need to find a way to shut it down!" Yelled Lar as he broke Swan's hold on Clark and threw him across the cave.
"Even the two of you together can not hope to prevail." Said the Eradicator, as he stood once again ready for combat. "My program was to preserve Kryptonian heritage. You can not escape your destiny."
"I am who I choose!" Clark yelled as he and Lar both rushed him.
"Enough!" Yelled the Eradicator as he grabbed and held both teens. The cave wall opened and he pulled both Lar and Clark into the shining light beyond.
