After boarding the flying ship, Anna and Kristoff were standing side-by-side silently, trying to not make any voices that might anger the alien commander. Both of them were taking a look inside the ship while standing still, admiring the futuristic metallic design of the ship. As they kept staying silent, Anna then held her boyfriend's hand, giving him her alien ship key. Kristoff was curious as to what did she just gave him and why, but his girlfriend only responded with a 'you might need this later' look.
Later on, Faora, the alien commander, came in with some sort of alien gadget, which looked like a circular piece of metal with elaborate patterns.
"The atmospheric composition on our ship is not compatible with humans. You will need to wear a breather beyond this point."
With that being said, she then place the gadget around Kristoff's neck, which then produced a transparent layer around his head, acting as a helmet. Minutes later, they then arrived at a bigger ship located up in space, not far off from their planet. They walked until they reach the main cabin, which is very spacious and intricately designed, with a massive window, overlooking Earth.
As they arrived in the cabin, they were welcomed by a man, who seemed like an important figure among the aliens, heavily armored just like the rest.
"Kara Zor-El. You have no idea how long we've been searching for you."
"So, you're Zod?" Anna assumed, but she was then fiercely distrupted by Faora, who insist on calling him General Zod.
Zod then calmed Faora down, noting that Anna was oblivious to their formalities.
"It's alright, Faora. We can forgive Kara any lapses in decorum. She's a stranger to our ways. This should be cause for celebration, not conflict."
When Zod finished uttering his words, Anna suddenly felt strange. She felt weaker, terribly weak. She felt like she was weaker than a normal human. She then kneeled down, unable to stand up properly. She also started to vomit out blood from her mouth. Kristoff, extremely worried about his girlfriend, rushed towards her, as she started to lay down, as if she have no energy left in her body.
"Anna!"
The ice harvester then looked up towards Zod, asking him questions, rather angrily.
"What did you do to her?!"
Zod then responded rather calmly, much to the dismay of Kristoff whose girlfriend was suffering terribly.
"She's rejecting our ship's atmospherics."
Zod then turned his attention to the runaway alien he was looking for, taunting her in the process.
"You've spent a lifetime adapting to Earth's ecology, but never adapted to ours."
"Help her!" Kristoff, asking desperately for mercy from the alien.
"I'm afraid I can't. Whatever's happening, has to run its course."
"Anna!"
Anna opened her eyes slowly as she was regaining her consciousness. She was surprised as she found herself lying on the stone-cold bricks of the castle courtyard while wearing her floral green dress. As she stood up, she then saw Zod, wearing his alien suit without any armor on, just standing opposite of her. He then started to speak.
"Hello, Kara. Or do you prefer Anna? That's the name they gave you, isn't it?"
Anna then paid full attention to him as he continued his speech.
"I was Krypton's military leader, your father, our foremost scientist. The only thing we agreed on, was that Krypton was dying. In return for my efforts to protect our civilization and save our planet, I and my fellow officers were sentenced to the Phantom Zone. And then, the destruction of our world freed us. We were adrift, destined to float amongst the ruins of our planet until we starved."
"How did you find your way to Earth?"
"We managed to retrofit the phantom projector into a hyperdrive. Your father made a similar modification to the craft that brought you here. And so, the instrument of our damnation, became our salvation. We sought out the old colonial outposts looking for signs of life, but all we found was death. Cut off from Krypton, these outposts withered and died long ago. We salvaged what we could, armors, weapons, and even a world engine. For 33 years we prepared, until finally, we detected a distress beacon, which you triggered when you accessed the ancient scout ship. You led us here, Kara. Now it's within your power to save what remains of your race."
Anna then looked up towards the sky, as the world engine entered the planet's atmosphere, landing on the nearby fjords.
"On Krypton, the genetic template for every being yet to be born is encoded in the registry of citizens. Your father stole the registry's codex, and stored it in the capsule that brought you here."
"For what purpose?"
"So that Krypton can live again, on Earth."
The world engine then emitted a concentrated beam of energy into the land, as seconds later, they found themselves completely covered in smoke and dust. As the dust settled down, Anna found herself wearing her Kryptonian outfit on a barren land, with no signs of life at all. The trees are non-existant and the land was barely covered with grass. All the man-made structures were also gone, leaving behind rubble.
"Where is the codex, Kara?"
"If Krypton lives again, what happens to Earth?"
"The foundation has to be built on something. Even your father recognized that."
The answer gave Anna the chills. Sure, she will still be alive, but her sister, her boyfriend, her people? There is no way they would be able to survive. Even if she isn't a true earthling, she can't afford to see the rest of the human race die out because of her. She doesn't want to be responsible for what she deemed an unacceptable act.
"No, Zod. I can't be a part of this."
"Then what can you be a part of?"
Anna was shocked when she gazed down, as she was slowly sinking into the dead skeletons. Panicking, she kept shouting 'no!' until she was consumed by the skeletons of the human race.
Anna jerked awake from her surreal nightmare, finding herself attached onto a table, with both her hands and legs were cuffed on the table. She tried to tear up the cuffs, but unable to do so. She then saw Zod standing just by her.
"Your father acquitted himself with honor, Kara."
"You killed him?"
"I did." Zod answered solemnly. He then continued speaking.
"And not a day goes by where it doesn't haunt me. But if I had to do it again, I would. I have a duty to my people and I will not allow anyone to prevent me from carrying it out."
The general then left the room, leaving Anna alone. She kept trying to pull herself out from the cuffs, but she doesn't have the strength to do so. She was weak. Moments later, another alien came in with a sharp object that looks like a medical equipment. The alien then taunted her pathetic attempts to escape.
"You're wasting your efforts. The strength you derived from your exposure to the Earth's sun has been neutralized aboard our ship. Here, in this environment, you are as weak as a human."
The alien then stuck a needle on her shoulder, causing Anna to moan loudly, wincing at the pain, as the needle absorbs her blood into the alien's syringe.
Kristoff was taken away by one of Zod's henchmen to a secluded room. As they arrived, the alien then threw Kristoff into the secluded room, before closing the doors. In turn, Kristoff was fumed at the treatment he received by the aliens.
"Do they even teach you manners back from where you came from?"
He then sighed softly, wondering what to do in the narrow room. As he took a look around, he then saw what seems to be a keyhole. He then realized it's for the key Anna gave him earlier on. As he inched closer to the keyhole, he took the key from his pockets, carefully inserting the key. He then pushed the key, which was responded by a sound that denotes the key has been fully inserted. He was looking around the room, until he saw a man standing just behind him. Shocked, Kristoff jerked back onto the walls.
"Where did you come from?"
"The command key, Mr. Bjorgmann. Thanks to you, I'm uploading to the ship's mainframe."
While Kristoff didn't understand entirely what the man just said, he was shocked that the man actually knew his name, let alone actually calling him by his last name. Even back in Arendelle, barely anyone called Kristoff by his last name.
"Whoa, how did you know my name? Who are you?"
"I am Kara's father."
"Can you help us?"
"I designed this ship. I can modify its atmospheric composition to human compatibility. We can stop them. We can send them back to the Phantom Zone."
"How?"
"I can teach you. And in turn, you can teach Kara. Will you help me?"
Kristoff simply nodded. Seconds later, his helmet deactivated as the ship's atmosphere was converted into that of Earth's. He is now able to breathe freely without any aid. Meanwhile, the sound of sirens can be heard throughout the ship. His girlfriend's alien father then notified him of their impending danger.
"The ship's crew are alerted. We need to move quickly. Retrieve the command key."
Kristoff then retrieved the key from its slot, as Zor-El waves his hand, opening the doors. Seconds later, they were confronted by one of Zod's troops, only to be smacked by the closing doors thanks to Zor-El's help.
"Did you do that?"
"Yes. Pick up her weapon."
Kristoff then picked up the alien weapon, eventhough he doesn't know exactly how to use it. He did however have minor experiences with crossbows, so he assumed it's used the same way, considering the fact that there's also a trigger in the alien weapon. He then followed Zor-El's instructions, shooting some of the troops that are coming after him using the alien weapon. He was also given instructions on how to escape the alien ship.
"Secure yourself inside the open pod. Safe travels, Mr. Bjorgmann. It's unlikely we'll see each other again. Remember, the phantom drives are essential in stopping them. Move your head to the left."
Kristoff was left confused at his last words, but nonetheless he abided the instruction rather hestitantly. As it turns out, one of the aliens tried to punch him but missed, due to Zor-El's advice. Despite avoiding the first punch, he then struggled against the alien to launch the pod. In the end, however, he successfully escaped the ship, but the pod was badly damaged, with sparks appearing everywhere, which could potentially burn down the pod. This causes Kristoff to fear for his life, hoping that this won't be the end.
Anna was lying attached on the table helplessly as the alien scientist analyzed her blood. Suddenly, she felt an abrupt change in the environment. The air she's breathing in became more refreshing. She can feel her body completely energized within seconds. She felt stronger than she ever was. Now that she regained her strength, she effortlessly tore off the cuffs from her hands and legs, much to the shock of the scientist. He then ran away from the room, leaving Anna alone. That is, until she got up from the table, when she saw her alien father standing in front of her. Anna then asked her father about something.
"Is it true what Zod said about the Codex?"
He instead veered off topic, instructing his daughter to strike the ship's panel. Obeying her father's commands, she then simply punched the walls of the ship, forming a huge hole, with the bright yellow sun can be seen just across the space, recharging Anna's body cells. He then answered her initial question.
"We wanted you to learn what it meant to be human first, so that one day, when the time is right, you could be the bridge between two peoples."
Zor-El then diverts his daughter's attention to a pod that was catching fire as it was heading towards the Earth.
"Kristoff."
"You can save him, Kara. You can save all of them."
After receiving some words of encouragement from her father, Anna then let herself float around the space, before quickly propelling herself towards the damaged pod. She rushed towards the pod in speeds unheard of, she was probably faster than the pod itself. The pod then made its way to the atmosphere, followed by Anna, trying to save her boyfriend inside the damaged pod. She then managed to reach the pod, but by then, they had already passed through the skies, approaching towards Arendelle in dangerous speeds. Anna then quickly punched open the pod, carrying Kristoff out of the pod. She then slowed down her descent, shielding Kristoff from the explosion caused by the impact of the pod against the surface of the earth.
As the explosion cleared up, they slowly landed on the ground just beside where the explosion was. They then found out that they are now at one of the frozen lakes of Arendelle.
"You alright, Kristoff?"
"Yeah, it's just that they did something to me. They looked inside my mind-"
"It's okay, Kristoff. They did the same to me too."
"Heh. Thanks for saving my life anyways."
Meanwhile, Kristoff noticed that Anna started to stare at his chest intently, which started to creep him out a little.
"What are you staring at?"
"Oh, just your abs- wait, did I just said that out loud? No, I meant I was staring at your face, no, wait, what?"
Anna then noticed that Kristoff's face started to inch closer to her face, ready to give her a kiss on the lips. Likewise, Anna did the same, until she started to hear something distressful, which ended up distrupted their kiss as she flew swiftly towards the source, leaving Kristoff alone by the frozen lakes.
"Anna! Where are you going? Don't leave me alone here! Wait, I forgot to tell you something!"
Kristoff then sighed as his calls were ignored, as she was gone in just a matter of seconds. Meanwhile, he also lamented the fact that the distance between the frozen lakes and the central town of Arendelle is rather big.
"It's gonna be a long walk home."
