Chapter 12: The 2nd Tremor and Jor-El confronts Brainiac
Jor-El stared at his holographic computations that made up his theory. Raya had recently been sent to The Phantom Zone as it's guardian. She had arrived at the same conclusion that Jor-El had. Zod, in his ultimate act of treason, had programmed the Kryptonian computer Brainiac-1 to force the planet Krypton into the sun. He grabbed a nearby crystal and began to speak.
"Raya's conclusion and my own are virtually the same. Some how General Zod had programmed the world computer to take this planet out of it's planetary orbit and move it toward the sun. I've informed the Council and they are prepared to have a meeting with them tomorrow with me so I can discuss-" Jor-El stopped as a planetary tremor was felt and was brief. Then it stopped.
"Damn. The planet is undergoing seismic tremors due to the planet being pulled from it's orbit. I suppose I will have to talk with Brainiac itself and find out what's going on. Chronicle pause," Jor-El said. He then saw Lara come in with his newborn baby, named Kal-El.
"Honey, did you feel that?" She said as she tried to calm her baby's crying. She stared at her husband with look of concern.
"I need to meet with Brainiac and find out what's going on," Jor-El said. He then kissed his wife on the cheek.
"My love, what is going on?" She asked.
"In 90 Earth days, Krypton will be destroyed. Zod somehow prepared this planet for it's ultimate destruction were he captured," Jor-El said matter-of-factly.
"That information will not be released to the general public, Jor-El," Said the voice of Brainiac-1 in the lab.
"What did Zod do to you? What was his intention? If he couldn't rule Krypton then no one could," Jor-El asked.
"My master's wishes will be honored by this computer. All decisions, and matters on this planet must come through me. Weather permits, building permits, Council sessions. All of it could end simply because you decided to destroy my master. Now his final wishes will be carried out. Long live General Zod," Spoke the super-computer.
"Lara, we have to do something or else Kal-El will die along with the rest of us," Jor-El said.
"Master Jor-El, Your brother wishes to speak with you," A slave girl said.
"Amber, take Lara and Kal-El home by hovercraft. Call Zor-El and have him meet me at my home in 2 Earth hours. We haven't much time. It's time the Prophecy came true," Jor-El said as he moved to a chamber. It contained a special crystal.
"Time is of the essence," Jor-El said. He then felt it. The powers that were his on Earth were somehow his to tap into again...
