Chapter VI: the arrival of Zod

The stranger stared around Metropolis with curiousity in his eyes. It was simliar to his native Krypton but alien and different. He had arrived with a single objective:the conquering and the destruction of this planet if it didn't bow to His wishes. His two comrades, Non and Kara, stared in wonder at the planet as well. He was General Ben-Joy Zod, former General of Krypton's defense. But he had struck a deal first with the Visitors, then with the self-proclaimed Emperor of a nearby star system, Palpatine who had promised him power and security, but had failed thanks to Jor-El of Krypton. That simple scientist had wrecked everything and had even sent him and his friends to The Phantom Zone. Now free thanks to a sun gone supernova that the voidless prison had floated near he wanted revenge. He stared at the LuthorCorp building with curiousity.

"Come my friends. We have a world to conquer and no Jor-El to stop us." He said. The three Kryptonians just smiled with one goal in mind. The utter conquest of this alien world.

Chelsea Worthington smiled as the three strangers walked in. She was the secretary for the Metropolis headquarters of LuthorCorp. She was a third generation Christian that served Lionel Luthor as a secretary dating back to the 1920's when Lachlan Luthor had started LuthorCorp before the depression. The company had been built as a façade to hide Lachlan's ability to steal from people and profit from it. Chelsea's parents had served the Luthors untill a tenament fire took Lachlan and Lucy Luthor's lives. The police had not been able to prove that Lionel was the killer. The fire had happened in 1977, the same year Trinity Jean Knight had been born.

"yes, may I help you?" She said sweetly. The goatee bearded man with brown eyes just stared at her.

"Who rules here?" He simply asked. She smiled. "Lionel Luthor. He runs the company. Do you have an appointment?" She asked again politely.

"I will see Lionel Luthor. I have a proposition he will not refuse." Zod said.

"Wait here, sir."she said. She moved away from her desk and walked over to a nearby computer. This computer would give her access to Lionel Luthor automatically.

"Mr. Luthor, I think you'd better turn on camera A. There are some visitors who claim to have a proposition for you, Sir." She said. Lionel, a much younger man bearing a full beard and mustache turned away from his wife who was talking with him about a recent purchase and stared at the video monitor to see Chelsea's strikingly beautiful face. He had tried to commit adultery with the woman but her Christian values had put her in a precarious position. In the end, though she retained her job but her husband paid the penalty for her refusal with death, leaving her a very broken but faithful woman.

"Send them through, miss Worthington. " Lionel said.

Chelsea smiled at the visitors. "Mr. Luthor will see you." She said smiling. She then reached for her phone. She frantically called an outside number of her friend Hyram Kent.

Smallville: Kent farm-Clark smiled as they were preparing for the eventuality of Zod's arrival when the phone rang. Jonathan Kent arrived home and picked it up, not aware of Clark or Jor-El upstairs in the spare bedroom. They were not ready for what was to come
