(AU from here) Chapter 5 Zod Is Here
Smallville Flanders field
"Lex what happened" Clark ran up to see Milton Fine next to Lex and scorched grass around them with a big spaceship behind them with a sheriffs car next to it.
"Cal-El" Lex looked at Clark then to Fine who nodded. "Brainiac says you've been just like your father." He spat. "Jor-El"
"General Zod" Clark weighed his options as he looked between fine and Lex.
"Brainiac" Lex turned to him silently ordering him to throw two crystals up in the air as two more brainiacs sped over holding two smallville deputies. "I hate authority figures" He smirked as the crystals stabbed the deputies opening a portal above Clark where lightning struck, it was soon over.
"Zod" Clark said getting up unsheathing his crystal dagger.
"No you idiot I'm Lex" He taunted "Just more power and knowledge" he smiled as the two deputies had now gone and before Clark stood the disciples of the Zod, Aethyr and Nam-Ek. "Of course Zod can't come back this way he" Lex continued as he pointed to the new comers. "So we are going to use you, Alien" He smiled sadistically.
"No Lex, the only way Zod can come back if a subject is infected with a catatonic disease so the subject can be possessed by him as his body is dead." Clark said as Lex realised that he had been injected earlier. Clark looked at the black Kryptonian called Nam-Ek, then the female one called Aethyr, then the three brainiacs all not expecting what he does next, finally he rests on Lex. "Goodbye" He threw his crystal dagger at Lex but one of the Brainiacs sped in front of it getting hit.
"Zod is coming" the other Brainiacs cheered as Lex was hit by a blinding light.
"Lex" Clark shouted as Lex was struggling to breath on the floor, but Clark was grabbed by both Nam-Ek and Aethyr who pushed him to the ground.
"Cal-El stop" Lex said getting up.
"Lex help" Clark stuggled but know good he was one they were two.
"Unit 44985" Lex span to one of the Brainiacs.
"Yes my General" He bowed to Lex.
"Go find me my queen and other breeding humans" He ordered.
"Yes Genral Zod, and may I say I have done copius amounts of research to find three candidates" The Brainiac smiled as he sped off towards metropolis.
"Unit 108, Start phase two of your plan" Zod smiled at the last Brainiac unit.
"It will as the humans say 'be like the millennium bug on acid" he smiled as he sped off.
"Now Cal-El" Zod began
"What's happened to Lex?" Clark asked still struggling.
"He's dead, now will you join me to rebuild this world" Zod asked
"Rebuild" Clark became confused.
"Why yes Cal-El with out technology humans will turn on each other and with in the chaos a new regime will rule the Kryptonians" He envisioned. "And my lieutenants here will need a liaison with the humans to make sure they are subordinate." He smiled "That could be you, hailed as a God not a traitor like your father"
"Zod making stories up about me again" Came a voice behind Lex.
"Who are you" Zod asked but received no answer but a swift right hook making Lex bleed.
"What, can't you recognise me I'm Jor-El. Now Aethyr" Aethyr let go of Clark and went towards the body of Jason, just possessed by the Kryptonian, But was slammed backwards by a super speeding female but she was blonde with a denim skirt and a white top with a blue cape.
"Zod, Aethyr meet my disciple, Kara" Jor-El smiled as he launched himself into Zod.
"Lindsay" Clark said before shrugging Nam-Ek off then upper cutting him to the floor.
"Regroup" Zod ordered and they came back together forming an evil threesome against a good threesome. "Nam-Ek" Zod ordered and with that Nam-Ek lifted up his wrist pushing a button making the spaceship bleep. "You really thought you could win." Zod smiled as nearly twenty brainiac's emerged from the ship forming behind their General.
"I have chosen and earthling champion Zod, not Kara, myself or Cal-El but he calls himself Infernus" Jor-El said pointing behind Zod to see a small figure clad in a long leather duster, bearing a face mask, and hands which have green fire engulfing them.
"It's him" Aethyr said turning to Nam-Ek.
"Who exactly?" Zod asked.
"Markus" All the Brainiacs responded.
"He controls Kryptonite and fire" Nam-Ek offered Zod's blank expression.
"So" was Zod's reply as he and Aethyr got back in line. "He's one pathetic human"
"Not human….Freak" Nam-Ek corrected.
"Not one….many" Aethyr said as more people lined up behind Markus.
"Kill them all" But before the brainiacs could superspeed a green fire hit taking the slower ones out but leaving many.
""
"I shall crush them all General Zod" an arrogant unit stated as he punched a quite big black teenager.
"Call me Cyborg" The human roared as he punched back knocking the unit to the floor. "Robot against"
"Against robot" The unit ended.
""
One unit sped towards a boy in a red hoody and yellow trouser but missed by quite a bit.
"What" Brainiac asked.
"The flash" the cocky grin was the last thing he saw before getting mowed over by this superspeed. But the brianiac got back up.
"Fast but not strong" The unit ended.
""
"Little girl" the brainiac sped towards a blonde girl in a green trousers and coat with a black tee-shirt on.
"Orb" She orbed leaving the brainiac confused. "I didn't nearly die for you to rule the world." A metal bar went off Brainiacs face but he just smiled.
"don't worry you won't make it to see it." The unit ended.
""
"Well you earthlings sure make it interesting" a unit said opposite a masked girl.
"You can say that again" She leapt up landing on the Brainiac. "Angel of Vengeance sounds to dark to be a earth protector." She began but was cut short by the brainiac tossed her off him.
"Well you earthlings sure make it interesting" The unit ended.
""
"Lucian, help me" A small brunette girl asked a big brunette lad.
"Krystal my good guy name is Rocky" he retorted but was put off by a unit punching him from behind.
"Damn" Krystal cursed before she let out her power of high pitch scream knocking down the brainiac. But she was grabbed another brainiac from behind.
"Scream. No" Rocky was up in rock form and punched Scream free.
"44787 connect" the first brainiac said as there hands turned to liquid metal joining them together forming a barrier around Rocky and Scream, then the metal grew razors.
"Jump rope any one" The unit ended.
""
"What are you" A unit sneered at a small black boy who had a mask and a bulls-eye on his chest
"I'm human" With that the young African American pulled out a Dessert Eagle .50 letting it off in the Alien robots face making him stumble. "Call me Bulls-Eye"
"I'll call you Stupid." The unit ended.
""
"That's not even a real gun" A Brainiac snorted at a blonde haired boy wearing an orange tank top with green short's, toting an orange and green water pistol.
"Yeah I know, bro'" he said before squirting his hand than punching the unit to the floor. "I don't let earthlings destroy the earth why would I let you." He said letting his guard down to be backhanded by the possum unit.
"Try and stop us" The unit ended.
""
"Wannabe scum" Aethyr flew at Kara knocking her to the floor allowing the real kryptonian to mound the ex-human and began to choke her.
"Kara" Jor-El cried and as he turned Nam-Ek jumped on his back and they blurred out of site as they were super speed fighting.
"Jor-El" Clark said concerned as he lost site but was stop by Lex, I mean Zod.
"I don't think so" Zod landed a right hook then a left followed by a back hand knocking Clark to the floor and then kicked him when he was down. Zod smiled until he saw the war between Krytonites best AI against Earth's Guardians.
Fortress of Solitude (North Pole)On Luthor Jet
"Lois sit down I'm sure we're okay" Senator Martha Kent said to her husbands campaign manager and her assistant, Lois Lane, After they just woke up and they're late to arrive at the US State Senate.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Kent but last time I checked there wasn't this much snow in Washington…..and definitely not a big Ice palace." Lois said pointing to large crystals forming out of the ground.
"Oh my god Clark" Martha whispered so Lois couldn't hear.
"Hey Pilot! What in hell are you up to I should come in there and kick your ass" Lois screamed banging on the cock pit doors. She felt the plane begin to descend.
Luthor Copter
"I'm sorry Lana I don't know where the Jet went" Lex said as he flew the helicopter with Lana sitting next to him.
"It's okay Lex as long as you found the space ship" She smiled at the only man she can rely upon. "How did you find it in the north pole" Lana's face dropped when she saw the fortress.
"It's in there" Lex pointed as he began to descend the helicopter.
Fortress of Solitude
"Clark, I thought Fine was trying to free Zod why are we here asking for help off the evil stepmother…eer…evil biological father" Chloe corrected herself.
"Oh, Chloe you and your inquisitive nature" Clark smiled as Lois could be heard been dragged in along with a quiet Martha.
"Seriously Lex what is this place" Lana Asked then she saw the Pilot holding Martha and Lois. "Lex, It's professor Fine" Lana said confused.
"This is Fine, Oh my God" Martha cowered in fear as she realised what full danger they was in.
"Wait a minute, Clark history lecturer. Oh no I'm not….aaar" Brainiac squeezed on Lois shutting her up.
"Clark, Fine has your mom" Chloe now worried as well.
"Yes Chloe he has you as well" Clark turns towards her and morphs into Brainiac and
Lex does the same.
"You fools you will all bow to Zod's power." The last Unit said, suddenly a crystal started glowing.
"You shouldn't play in someone else's yard without asking" Came the voice of the oracle who appeared next to the unit holding Martha Kent.
"Lionel Luthor" The Three Brainiacs said "The Oracle" They smiled but not for long as Lionel Sped behind the first unit and knocked him over letting loose the two women.
"Martha lead the girls out, quickly." The Elder Luthor ordered as he was surrounded by three Kryptonian Robots.
Flanders Field (Smallville)
"You pieces of junk defend my honour" Zod roared at the still alive units but where taking heavy beatings. "Your incompetence is nothing short of unspeakable." He turned to the actual Kryptonians, and a high pitch noise came but only affected the Kryptonians letting the earthlings finish off Brainiac.
"Cal-El that is the alarm at the fortress" Jason's body screamed to Clark. "Kara no" Jor-El turned to see his adopted daughter's neck snapped by the female disciple of Zod.
"Aethyr To the fortress" Zod ordered and they took off leaving Nam-Ek to fend off Jor-El, Cal-El and the other earthlings.
"My power is fading, Infernus do it now" Jor-El ordered grabbing a beaten Nam-Ek.
"You can not stop General Zod he is Here" Nam-Ek laughed as green fire took off his and Jason's head. Markus collapsed to the floor gasping for air.
"Alicia your alive" Clark ran up to the girl he thought was hung over a year ago.
"Yeah, Markus saved me" She smiled shyly as her and Clark hugged.
"Well, I was in smallville and saw a girl hanging from a tree I thought why not make out she's dead and then train her to fight against an invading alien race." Markus wheezed out.
"Pete oh my gosh, your…" Clark began.
"A super hero yeah got tired of living in your shadow and Markus came to offer me a chance so I took it" He smiled, and Markus shrugged.
"Victor, Andrea, Ac look at you saving the world" Clark beamed when he saw Bart. "You came back" he shook hands with the speed demon. He turned and saw two meteor freaks he never thought he would see defending the world, Krystal and Lucian. "Thank you" He nodded to them and then helped Markus up.
"Okay Jor-El Said that Zod is sending a computer virus to shut down technology" Markus began walking over to Jason's headless body and retrieved a silver hexagon which he slipped into his pocket. " So Orb……orb Aqua-kid to the Ocean then orb across the world and warn all countries: Britain, Europe, Japan, Asia, Russia, Australia and finally Africa. Forget America it's gone" He paused as Alicia held hands with AC and turned green orbing out. "Flash go with 'em, mate" With that Bart left as fast he could to warn the world. "Bulls-Eye, get to a wireless computer and just throw every anti virus you can at it, yeah" Markus nodded to Pete who nodded back then ran off. "Scream destroy that thing" He pointed to the spaceship, Krystal just ran off and started screaming at it, Lucian began to follow. "No, Rocky, Cyborg, Vigliante. Get to the cities and help out the police, who know what will happen if it is a state wide black out." He just watched them as all three used there super strong legs to jump so high and so far. "Super boy get to your fortress and stop Zod, It's time to fly" Markus smiled.
"What are you going to do" Clark asked as he took off flying fast to the north pole.
"I'm going to use my key" With that the ex-mercenary flapped his coat and headed straight towards the Katwache caves.
Fortress of Solitude
Two units of Brainiac were holding Lionel still, while the third Brianiac was punching the poor oracle to a bloody pulp.
"All those who align themselves with Jor-El will be executed by orders of Zod" The punching Unit said in-between blows.
"All those who endanger the Martha Kent's life will die by my hand" Lionel pulled one of the holding Brainiacs in front of him as a shield then pushed him into the punchy unit after he blocked the punch. "And you hurt her" Lionel turned with his Oracle strength and slammed brainiac up the wall. "Here have this" Lionel pulls out a seven hundred ml bottle of Scotch throwing it up in the air.
"Is that it." One of the fallen units asked.
"A bottle of intoxicating liquid" The other one scoffed. Then it broke into shards launching it self at the two units shredding the artificial skin of them.
"What on Krypton?" The trapped Brainiac said before being pummelled by Lionel.
"naughty, naughty Krypton is no more" Lionel said still pounding the robot but the brainiac grabbed both arms and head butted Lionel. Lionel was dizzy and fell to the floor he felt a knife put pressure on his back, he looked around to see the other two brainiacs start blasting with there heat vision at the small shards. "Maddie use the window's in the jet and helicopter" Lionel said as a little girl ran from behind a crystal towards the exit.
"44985" The unit who had Lionel pinned nodded towards the exit where the girl went. But before any brainiacs could super speed anywhere a crystal glowed then light flashed leaving a small hunched over figure clad in a long black leather duster.
"Nice place" Markus nodded in satisfaction when inspecting the fortress. "Lionel, how you doing mate, tip top?" He smiled to the bloody Luthor.
"Maddie, Lana, Martha, Lois and Chloe are here some where with these three desecrated machines looking for them." Lionel smiled back.
"Well the General and Superboy are on there way." The Britt casually walked over to the closest brainiac, being 44985, and pulled out a cigarette. " 'Scuse me mate, gotta light?" he asked a bewildered Brainiac and as the unit turned to look for confirmation of another unit Markus' hand shot up incinerating the android quicker then he could move. "No? It's alwight I found one ennit" he smiled as he lit it up of the units flaming remains.
"Let's go" the unit holding Lionel down said and as they both speed off, one units legs go from beneath him. He turns back to see what happened and a helicopter windscreen was hovering at ankle height and it shredded the alien technologies feet.
"47601, Don't leave me" The unit turned back to be face to face with the little girl.
"dick...head" she stuck her tongue out as Markus put his hands together and incinerated the android before him.
"Language, half pint" he said taking a drag before following the escaped 47601 while Lionel was helped by Maddie.
""
The four women cowered underneath the Luthor Jet as they couldn't get in until the saw a little girl run out of the crystal fortress and around the corner.
"Did you all see that little girl." Lois asked the other three who nodded. "So I'm not seeing things other than Lionel Luthor is the fastest geriatric in the world" Lois looked for the girl.
"No Lois" Chloe pulled her back as they fell on the floor.
"Cuz, get off me" Lois said pushing her cousin of herself.
"Sorry Lois those things are dangerous" Chloe got looks off Lana and Lois. "Well they must be if the could shift shape." Chloe countered the looks.
"I think it's…. Maddie" the little girl ran back into the fortress and Martha tried to follow.
"Mrs Kent no" Lana tried to stop her but they all froze when one of the things appeared in front of Martha. "What do you want" Lana said defiantly.
"You" was the androids response as he disappeared then reappeared behind Lana. "My Queen" with that smug remark he unshed a hand size crystal then touched the back of Lana's head. She started shaking violently with a purple electrical current rolling through her, 47601 let go of the crystal letting Lana fall to the floor but the crystal stayed locked.
"Lana" Martha cried but the two more pieces broke off of the crystal and attached themselves to Chloe and Lois who reacted the same as Lana with the purple surge of electricity.
"So you're the earthling which raised Cal-El" Zod landed with Aethyr in tow.
"His name is Clark" Martha became very emotional and spat at Zod who easily dodged the saliva. 47601 grabbed Martha.
"Don't mind this human General, these are your choice of queens." 47601 pointed to the now non shaking three beauties of Smallville. "We met some resistance and 44985" Zod turned to see a crystal sticking out of brainiacs head and then he dropped to the floor inactive.
"The Oracle" Aethyr pointed to a bloody Lionel supported by Maddie and flanked by Markus.
"How did he get here first" Zod sideways glanced at Aethyr.
"I….I don't have an answer" Aethyr stated.
"I already need to replace one lieutenant don't make me need to replace two." Zod warned as Clark landed.
"Lana, Chloe, Lois, Mom, What's going on, What did you do." Clark roared as he saw the girls on the floor and his mom next to Zod.
"Maddie?" Clark said looking at Lionel and Markus. "Never mind, Markus how did you…. Never mind, can you fight?" Clark asked as Markus moved next to him.
"Zod kicked your arse last time and she kicked mine back when she first landed so how we going to do this." Markus asked.
"Pray I suppose" Clark whispered as they started to size up each other.
"Please, God Spare our soul's from alien beings which hardly helps the question of your existence " Markus smirked as Zod and Aethyr got ready to fight.
"What's going on" Lana asked groggily followed by moans from Lois and Chloe. "….Lex where are we" She asked more focused but a bit hesitantly.
"I'm not Lex" Zod answered when she stood up. "I'm General Zod" she looked a bit confused then looked at the floor noticing the crystal which knocked her out.
"Is this a knowledge stone?" Lana asked as Lois and Chloe picked up there's. "They join, they must be." She turned to the other two putting them together, but nothing happened.
"You know of the knowledge stones?" Zod asked intrigued.
"I've spent hundreds years looking them" Lana hissed.
""
"Hundreds years, and I thought she was in high school when we first met." Markus commented all confused.
"I don't think that's Lana." Clark added.
""
"Isobel what does he know of the stones" Chloe asked.
""
"Isobel….China, how would Chloe, know her" Markus turned to Clark looking for an answer.
""
"Yes, Countess maybe he is a guardian to the power." Lois added.
""
"No. Not again." Clark grimaced remembering these three witches.
""
"Me" Zod laughed. "A guardian" He gave a look to Aethyr. "No ladies, I am the power"
""
"What?" The Countess asked, Neh, demanded.
"I am what happened as a result of the knowledge stones coming together so I can take this planet by force" Zod squared over Isobel. "But my aide, said you three were to be candidates to be queen now I see that you are pretty, and know of the stones so we can breed but which one will it be with." Zod contemplated.
""
"Oh, I'm gonna kill him" Markus said now walking over to him.
"Chloe get away from him" Markus fired up his but Isobel hissed and raised her hand causing a purple glow to extinguish Markus' flames. "Right, yeah, I remember how this goes" Markus said looking between himself and Clark. "Superboy"
""
"I'm Countess Margaret Isobel Thoroux." Isobel did a small curtsey "Call me Isobel, and these are my fellow witches and hand maidens, Brianna" She pointed to Chloe. "And Madeleine" Pointing to Lois. "I will be your Queen and these two can be your breeders, if the price is right."
""
"Clark, last time she ruined my coat, it took ages to find a new one I liked" Markus whined.
""
"And what price would that be?" Aethyr said stepping in between Zod who seems intrigued by this human. Isobel started to murmur something towards Aethyr, then Brianna and Magdeleine started as well.
"CAUSE THIS BEING PAIN" They chanted in English as purple energy swirled and crackled around them. "GIVE US HER ENERGY! DRAIN" The purple energy swept up into the Krpytonian then dropped her to the floor.
"the power" Lois' body commented as all three witches writhed in ecstasy.
"It's like Clark's" Chloe's added smiling broadly.
"Now do you want me or not" Isobel leaned up to Zods ear. He glanced at a heavily breathing Aethyr, then nodded and began to fly. "Madd, Bree levitation spell" She took follow by the other two but hovered waiting for Zod's lieutenant who kept jumping but couldn't fly.
"What on Krypton" She said looking at her.
"You have no abilities" Clark stepped to her.
"You lie" She back handed him yet hurt her hand.
"They did it to me but I think yours was permanent." Clark looked as Zod just shrugged and flew off followed by the three French witches.
"Cal-El" Lionel was standing straight with fogged out eyes. "Do what needs to be done" Lionel collapses, causing Maddie and Martha to run over to him.
"Mom, Maddie are you alright" Clark asked as Markus watched the former Kryptonian weep on the floor. "Lionel, what does Jor-El mean?" the elder looked confused.
"We must torture this one" Markus said unemotionally.
"What, I can't do that." Clark said.
"Ten minutes tops." Markus began to drag back to the fortress.
Metropolis Luthor Corp
"So this is where your plan all started." Madeleine said behind the cuddling Lana and Lex.
"All we need is a boat which flies to the stars" Brianna smiled to her witch friend.
"And all will succumb to your new world" Isobel whispered to Zod.
"New Krypton" Zod stated simply.
