Chapter X: The Confrontation

Shuster University: Clark Kent and Kara, and Trinity Jean Knight walked the alternate version of Shuster University, named after one of the founding fathers of the small town of Smallville Kansas.They had been tipped off by the Alternate KARR to where Kal-El was and they were prepared to face him. They entered the Shuster Times office where Clark and Chloe were reporters. There he was, snug and confident as he was grilling a woman for information.

"Kal-El! We need to talk!" Clark said his eyes turning red as he slid on a Red Kryptonite Ring, which gave him adrenaline to aid him. Trinity had devised a small servo attachement to block the Red Kryptonite from affecting him emotionally. He was in control of himself.

Kal-El turned from this teacher who's breasts he had been teasing to see his double. He smiled with perverse pleasure.

"Kal-El. Such a pathetic excuse for a Kryptonian. You want me come get me!" Kal-El said as his muscles tensed, ready for battle. The three then surrounded him. He had not seen Kara nor Trinity because they had walked directly behind Clark.

"Kara. I thought I put you to sleep. You will know what it means to suffer when I get through with you." He said as he attempted to punch the girl but She caught his fist. He then began to weaken from the red Kryptonite ring that Clark wore.

"How did you get power?" Kal-El asked as his strength began to falter from the deadly Kryptonite rays. In this alternate reality red Kryptonite affected him the same way Green Kryptonite affected Clark.

"My Wife has powers similar to mine. I borrowed them so she could aid me. You must stop the American Empire, for if you don't it will collopse and America will never know what Freedom is like!" Clark pleaded with his alternate reality self.

Kal-El just stared at Clark.

"I like the UEA. They have helped me gain power. I rule the world." Kal-El said.

"You were lied to Kal-El. Let us help you. The Empire lied to us all. There is only one thing that can set you free." Kara said. She then saw the hate in her cousin's eyes.

"And that is?" He asked as he was now in a kneeling position. He then heard Trinity speak up quietly.

"The Truth. I was once taught that the Truth shall set you free. You were lied to all your life to do what this Empire wanted you to do, by your adopted parents. By it's rulers. It's time Kal-El you stepped up and took a chance to be something you were destined to be." Trinity said.

"What would that be?" Kal-El said.

"A man who can make a difference. I made a difference in my world by using my powers to save lives not just for my own benefit. To make what is wrong right." Clark said. They then heard the voice of Jor-El.

"My son, Listen to them. I sent you here as a beacon of light as The jewish messiah was sent to the World some 2000 years ago. I sent you as an example of what humanity can do. Instead you succumbed to the evil that has infected this world. You must fight for what is right. Your mother knew what would happen. I didn't listen to her. Before Krypton met it's demise, she died. Of a broken heart. Because of what you have done. Here. Now. Honor Lara. Do what's right. Change this world for good, instead of evil." The cloned body of Lex Luthor said. Clark stared at his twin as he stood up weakly.

"Lara? She died because of what I have done here. I didn't know." Kal-El said. Clark spoke.

"Now you do. I know my biological mother would be proud that I used my gifts for the betterment of humanity not to enslave it. Honor our mother." Clark said, The alternate Clark nodded. Clark removed the ring. Instantly the power that was in Kara, separated from her and the girl fell to her knees. Kal-El helped her up.

"Thank you for showing me the way. Forgive me." He said. Both Jor-El and Clark smiled.

"There is nothing to forgive,. You were not yourself. Now send Trinity, Veronica and Chloe and I home. I was told you have the power to do that." Clark said. The other Clark nodded and power filled the other's eyes. His eyes were a yellowish color and power struck them and filled the other two, Veronica Mars, and Chloe Sullivan..all would be right, they had thought. Or at least they had hoped so.

The End
