Chapter IV: The Confrontation
Hyram Kent stared outside the window as he saw the limousine pull up in front of his farm. He saw the woman and a young girl and the young man who had introduced himself as Michael Knight climb out of the limo.
"Honey, We got visitors!" Hyram said to his wife. Helen Kent just smiled. She then recognized the face of the young man. It was the drifter that visited Smallville in 1961 who was wanted for the murder of Louise McCollum, the mother of Laura Lang. He got the door. The woman and the young man and the young girl walked in.
"Mr. Kent I'm sorry to bother you but we need to talk." Elizabeth Knight said. Hyram just stared at them.
"Who are you?" He asked. The woman smiled at him. "My name is Elizabeth Knight. I am the ex-wife of Wilton Knight, who is planning to build a facility here in Smallville. My daughter Trinity Jean Knight. There's someone I'd like you to meet." She said.
"Mr. Knight, how nice to see you again. Will you be needing to stay here again?" Hyram asked.
"My name isn't Michael Knight. It's Clark. Clark Kent. Your grandson. We need to talk." He said.
"I don't have a grandson." Hyram said defensively. Clark smiled. "I was sent here to tell you something important before you pass on. Your time is short. A meteor Shower will rain fire down from a planet in another galaxy. A planet called Krypton has exploded and fragments from that planet will hit Earth in the Earth year 1989. Something else will come as well." Clark said. He removed the Crystal from his backpack. The crystal lit up. It rose in the air. It emitted a light and through it appeared a face then a body.
"Hyram Kent, I am Jor-El. I visited your planet in 1961. I have sent my messenger to you to bring you glad tidings. And terrible news. As my messenger has said, a meteor shower will hit Smallville, Kansas in the Year 1989. Out of that chaos will bear a child. His name is Kal-El. He will be a very special child. Your grandson. I have chosen you and your family to raise this child as if he were one of you. He will have special powers and abilities, but you must raise him to know what is good and right in the universe. My world, Krypton will die in another 2 years and the child will I send to you for he will carry all of our hopes and dreams. The dreams of Krypton. He is the Last Son of Krypton. He will bring hope and peace to those of your planet. He is not the Light of the World, but is to be an example of the true light of the world. He will rule your planet, not by power and might, but by inspiration and mercy. By being an example. You must not share this with any one. Not even Jonathan Kent, Kal-El's adopted father. Please do as my messenger says." The holographic message smiled and then faded out.
"What must I do?" Hyram said. He smiled with joy and sadness at the thought of this news.
"You must do what is right. You will also meet my son, Garth. You must try to change his ways. I have found out terrible news about my son." Elizabeth said. Trinity pointed at Clark.
"Clark, am I related to you?" The 6-year-old asked, her own powers not yet manifested. Clark knelt down and smiled at the girl.
"The man you saw is your biological Father. You will have great powers and a destiny all your own." He said.
"Destiny. What is your destiny, Clark?" Helen Kent asked the 19 year old. Clark smiled.
"I am The Last Son of Krypton. I am still discovering my destiny." He said. He then turned to Elizabeth.
"I need both of your help in creating a transmitter to enable me to contact my friends in the future. " Clark said. He then sensed it. A Power much like his own on it's way here.
"What is it, Clark?" Hyram asked. He then turned, his eyes red not from his heat vision but from the sense perception.
"Zod is coming." He said.
