Chapter 21
With Jor'el's words Clark's eyes haze over, then clear almost immediately. He looks around the room, then looks right at Lana, he stares so intently, that it makes her nervous.
"You are important to My other side. I make you this promise, I will do everthing i can to keep you safe for him. As long as it doesn't interfer with my objective." Kal'el tells her.
Lana is staring at him, she knows it is Clark coming through some how.
"Thank you Kal'el, how can we help you find what you need?" Lana asks.
"I am not sure, a sign will let me know. I have to be patient, and wait, it will happen." Kal'el says.
As he says this a pericing scream inters his head. It is the sign he has been waiting for, at least the first one. He slowly rises to his feet, he looks at the three people sitting at the table.
"It is time to complete the first part of my task. I must leave for a time but i will return." Kal'el tells them.
"Take me with you, two heads are better than one." Lana tells him.
"Lana it could be dangerous." Martha says.
"Yeah, Lana maybe you should stay here with us." Jonathan tells her.
"Listen to them Lana, they are looking out for your best intrests." Kal'el tell her.
"NO! I want to go, i have to look out for my best intrests as well, and that is Clark. Which is you, Kal'el. If i have to put myself in danger to help protect you then so be it. But understand this i will not allow you to do anything that will endanger Clarks life." Lana tells him standing defiantly infront of Kal'el.
"Jor'el is right, Clark choose well. Fine" Kal'el says.
With that he leads them both out side. He takes Lana's hand and launches into the air. In the blink of an eye they are traveling so fast Lana almost can't catch her breath. She is looking around watching the senery pass by at such a rate she wonders if anything on Earth can travel this fast. The longer they in flight the harder it is to breath. She gets an idea, as they are moving she inches her way closer to Kal'el. The closer she gets the easier it is to breath.
"Kal'el, hold me close to you so i can breath, remember i am human!" Lana shouts at him.
Reconition come to his face and he instantly pulls her into his arms. Lana can't remember ever feeling so scared, or so exerlarated. She has to get Clark to do this with her, this fast. If she feels like this with Kal'el she wonders what it would be like with Clark.
All of a sudden thier flight takes a sudden drop and Kal'el lands. He releases her, and looks around.
"Do you know where this is?" He asks her.
Lana is looking around and realizes they are in a desret. She isn't sure exactly where but would hazzard a guess, some where in Eygpt.
"I think we are in Eygpt, but i can't be sure."
"Come with me." He grabs her and takes off again.
This time he is going slow so she can look around. He can feel the element, it is close. There is something else as well, like the feeling of an old enemy. 'Father told me about you.' He thinks to himself. 'I know your weekness old nemisis.'
"What is it?" Lana asks.
"I feel a presence that could mean danger for both of us." Kal'el tells her.
As he is finishing his statement, the first of the great pyrmids come into her vision. She know beyond any doubt that they are in Eygpt.
"Yeah this is Eygpt." She tells him.
With that knowlege revealed Kal'el suddenly shakes in mid flight and starts to fall the the Earth. Lana Screams as he suddenly regains himself and slowly lands.
He is looking around, it seems in all directions at once.
"What was that?" Lana asks.
"I am not sure, i felt really week, it must be the element." Kal'el tell her.
Suddenly out of the clear blue, a bolt of electicity slams into Kal'el. Throwing him 100 yards away from where Lana is standing. He is back on his feet in a blink and shoots a blast of heat vision at the figure approching him. The creature shrieks and launches into the air. As if on cue Kal'el takes to the air.
The creature does a quick loop and speeds toward Kal'el. As he nears him he releases another shot of electricity, Kal'al matches it with another blast of heat vision. The bolts meet in the air and it seems for a moment that the creature is going to win, when all of a sudden you hear a scream from Kal'el and the bolts shoot back at the creature causeing it to shriek and reverse course.
On the ground Lana is watching this all play out. She can not believe what she is seeing, Kal'el is locked in battle with the most hiddious looking thing she has ever seem. This creature looks like a cross between the creature from the black lagoon and alien. Worse it seems to have powers that match his, which means he will have to out smart it. She is at a loss as to how to help but she has to find a way.
As Lana is on the ground trying to think of a way to help. Kal'el is working the problem out in his head. 'Ok so it has my abilities or at least close to it. I wonder if it is as fast as i am.' He suddenly shifts it into another gear and slowly starts to catch up. The creature sees this and screams, he starts doing all kinds of flips and monevers. ' So i am faster. Wonder if i am stronger as well.' With this Kal'el make a series of moves that puts him face to face with the Creature. In one swift move he places a kick right to the creatures chest sending him flipping end over end. As the creature is moving away Kal'el hits him with a blast of cold breath that freezes him in mid air. As the block of ice desends to the ground he releases a blast of hit vision that shatter the creature into a million pieces. Kal'el desend to one in perticular and retrieves it.
"This is what i was looking for he says as he rejoins Lana,"
"That was amazing, where did you learn to do all of that?" Lana asks him.
Jor'el taught me." He simple states.
