Chapter XV: The finale
Clark felt the street post hit his abdomen as he and Zod fought. They had been fighting for the better part of 2 hours, Jor-El and his sister Trinity Knight had been clearing the area of the residents of Smallville. The year was 1983 and Clark Kent had killed General Zod in the future, but somehow the general had survived into the past.
"Kal-El, you will never defeat me!" Zod roared at Clark as he saw Clark punch the street light and the streetlight crumbled under his punch.
"I did once and I'll do it again!" Clark said defiantly, as he used his own heat vision to destroy the tail end of a nearby unoccupied tractor trailer rig that Zod held in his hands.
"Why won't you just die like your father did?" Zod said. Clark had an amused look on his face.
"Simply because I am my father's son," Clark said matter of factly. He used his own super speed and ran and used a wrestling move he had seen on a Wrestling show. Zod just stared at him as if he were crazy.
"Where did you learn to fight, son of Jor-El?" Zod said as he stood up. Clark stood up.
"From these humans. They may be crude, but they do know how to fight when the odds are against them. Just like I will," Clark said.
Trinity had noticed General Zod kept staring at Lionel Luthor during his fight with Clark. She motioned to Jor-El to come forward after they had evacuated the area where the renegade General and the Last Son of Krypton were fighting.
"Why does he keep looking at Lionel?" She asked the scientist. Jor-El just stared. He then removed the Phantom Zone projector out of his pocket.
"Because he can take possession of a human body once his body is sent to The Phantom Zone. The powers that we possess will be transferred to the human host. Even though you claim I will clone that man, I have taken possession of a human before while I created a body when I was here in 1961. We must stop him," Jor-El said.
They turned their attention to helping their son and brother in the struggle to help save Earth. Clark had so far stopped Zod to a stand still. They stared in horror as Zod took to the air.
"Take this," Jor-El said placing the Phantom Zone projector in Trinity's hand.
"Fly, my child. Aid your brother and save this planet. If you don't, Zod will make this place very much like your home. Your real home," Jor-El said. The girl nodded. She had never used her gift of flight. But now was the time. She crouched and used her powerful leg muscles to launch herself into the air.
This is cool, She thought to herself. She willed her body to the place where Zod and Clark were flying after each other.
"You can never catch me, Kal-El," Zod said triumphantly as he flew to Metropolis and landed near The Daily Planet. Clark landed and stared at him, the enemy of his father.
"I will do what I must, General. What were you General of anyway?" He asked. The two circled each other. Zod smiled wickedly.
"I had political aspirations much greater than your father. I was promoted to General of Krypton's armies. Then Palpatine came, offering me much more than I could possibly imagine. I tried to persuade to your father to help me but he was an idealist. After being ordered by the high council to repel Palpatine's Empire, The Visitors came and offered me power to rule Krypton with an iron fist, if I would help them kill or capture the high council. I captured half of the council before your accursed father discovered that prison without end, the Phantom Zone and banished me there. But before he did, I sent a rocket to Krypton's sun, causing it to go nova. The great powers Jor-El and our people had were gone thanks to the red sun that I created. The solar flares from the sun caused the planet to be pulled into it. He tried desperately to save his wife and himself, but he failed. Or so I thought," Zod said. He saw Trinity with the phantom zone projector in hand. It was a small device with the stylized S within an octagonal shape. It was similar to the symbol found in the Kawatche cave by Clark 3 years prior.
"No, you bitch! Your not sending me back!" He said as he saw Lionel's limousine pull up and the billionaire got out. With him was Jor-El of Krypton. He used his super speed to grab Lionel and before anyone could stop him, he twisted Lionel's neck, and the father to Alexander Luthor was dead. Clark fell to his knees, for he had failed his friend. He saw Gabe Sullivan come out of the Daily Planet building.
"Get out of here Gabe! Go now!" He said. Trinity then pressed her thumb down on the symbol on the projector and aimed it at both Lionel and Zod. Within an instant they were both gone.
"Now what?" Clark said as he was helped up by Jor-El. The young man showed him a disc, similar to the one that was used to power the ship that brought him to Earth in the future.
"You must go! Your destiny is in your own hands, my son," Jor-El said, as the key-disc began to glow and a wormhole was opened.
"What is that?" Clark asked. Jor-El simply smiled.
"Your way home. Go my children!" He said pushing them both through the vortex. They were gone, but the battle to save Earth was over. Or was it?
The End?
