Down in the cellar, Clark tried his best to hold Dana up while he reached into his pocket to get the keys. Unable to do both at the same time, he set her down on the ground in the corner and went over to the ship. Uncovering it, he took the keys from his back pocket and placed his into the keyhole then hers on top of it. Again the two keys merged into one. Clark stood back as the shop began to glow, raising itself into the air. Turning itself vertically onto it's front end, the ship expanded and grew lengthwise opening up to reveal an adult sized seat inside covered in glowing, gold kryptonian symbols and words.

"She must go inside," the sound of Jor-El's voice filled the damp air of the cellar. Clark looked around to see where it was coming from.

"Jor-El?" Clark stepped towards the ship confused.

"Quickly Kallel, she must go inside!" His voice was demanding in tone. Turning around, Clark rushed over to Dana who could barely keep her eyes open and her head up in the corner. Picking her up, he carried her over and sat her up in the shop, making sure her arms and legs were inside. As soon as her whole body was inside, the shop's dome closed around her, sealing her in. Clark stood back, watching as the ship glowed with her inside.

"What happens now?" Clark yelled over the noise of the ship raising itself into the air.

"Stand aside and wait." Jor-El's voice was calmer but still stern. Clark stood back and watched as Dana's head bobbed up and down inside the ship. Suddenly, a short burst of energy released from the ship, knocking Clark off balance.

"What was that?" Clark watched as Dana's body seized inside the cramped space. She opened her eyes wide breathing deeply and disoriented. As Clark was about to step closer, another, stronger, wave of energy surged from the ship. This time Dana yessed painfully, pressing her hand up against the transparent dome and looking out at Clark. Again the shop sent out another wave, this time causing Dana to scream and knocking Clark off of his feet. The bottles, cans and boxes in the cellar shook with every pulse sent out by the ship.

"Clark, Clark! Help me!" Dana banged on the glass, watching as Clark stood up. She was getting more and more energy back as each time was more and more painful.

"Dana!" Clark got up to his feet.

"No Kallel, she must remain there until it is complete." Jor-El warned just as Clark was about to go over to her.

"It's hurting her, I can't just stand here and watch it happen!" Clark stopped in his tracks. "Why is it hurting her?" Dana still banged on the glass, yelling for Clark to help her.

"We must all be weakened before we become strong again." Just then the inside of the ship where Dana was, began to glow brighter and brighter, forcing both of them to shield their eyes. Just as Dana's screamed filled the air, a final surge of energy bolted from the ship, knocking the doors off of the cellar entrance and taking out all of the power along the way. Clark went flying across the room into a stack of boxes and glass bottles, shattering everyone he hit.

When the light was gone, Clark pushed all of the broken bottles, cans and boxes off him him and got up to see Dana curled up on the dirty floor beside the ship which was now back on the ground just as it was before.

"Dana!" He rushed over to her side to see if she was okay. When the dust cleared, he looked her over, he pendant hanging back around her neck and his key clasped tightly in her hand. "Dana can you hear me?" He held her up off of the ground. She didn't move, her breathing was steady and her face was calm which made Clark feel a little more at ease.

Just then Martha and Jonathan came barrelling down in to the cellar.

"Clark! Clark are you down here?" He heard his father call to him. When they reached the floor of the cellar and saw Clark and Dana they were relieved.

"What happened? Are you okay?" Martha went to her son's side.

"We were worried about you when you weren't at Lex's. We just hoped you'd come back here with her." Jonathan looked around at all of the broken bottles and boxes scattered around the room.

"I think she's okay," Clark nodded at Dana as his mother took in their surroundings.

"The power's out all over the area, what happened down here?" His mother's face was worried and relieved at the same time as she cupped her son's face in her palm and looked down at Dana.

"I need to get her inside," Clark scooped Dana up into his arms with almost no effort at all.

"Come on, let's go son," Jonathan led the way out of the cellar.
