Chapter 6: Garth
The Grey colored 18-wheeler tore through Metropolis and was carrying Kryptonite in its trailer and bore 2 people in the truck's cab. One was a criminal on the run, Garth Wilton Knight, the estranged son of Wilton Knight and the other was Lex Luthor, the son of deceased businessman Lionel Luthor. During the event that surrounded the coming of the alien known as Darkseid, Lex had LexCorp's lawyers had arranged bail for Garth, who was Trinity, and Jennifer Knight's brother. Lex stared at Garth who was driving the rig.
"I don't see why we need this meteor rocks, Lex" Garth said.
"Superman will come for us and we need to be ready," Lex said. Garth smirked as he glanced at Lex then refocused on the road. They were hauling the Kryptonite to luthorCorp headquarters to prepare a weapon.
"We have another problem. The man named Michael Knight had another identity as Michael Long, a vet of the Afghanistan and Syrian wars. He becomes a cop and after a botched undercover sting he's left for nearly dead. My father rescues him and he's been a part of the Foundation for the last few years. If Superman and my twin joined up then we have trouble," Garth said. They pulled up to the garage that bore the LuthorCorp logo. Garth flashed an ID at the guard. The guard waved them through and the rig rolled through and they stopped on an elevator. Lex motioned for the team of scientists began to unload the Kryptonite.
"What are we building here, Lex?" Garth asked. Frustration came through his voice.
Lex smiled at him. "We're building a time machine and using the radiation from the meteorite fragments to power it. We'll send both Superman and Michael Knight to a point into time. They won't bother us anymore," Lex said smugly. Lex smiled. He had read of Superman coming from the doomed planet Krypton and he had hoped to send his enemy to the past, considering Superman was the reason he lost a second Presidential run. Superman and a reporter named Clark Kent who had reported lex's connections to a gang known as Inter-gang. He then stared at his tech team.
"Carlos, is it up?" Lex asked the lead tech. Carlos Sinclair smiled at him. "Yes, Mr. Luthor. We're running final check now," he said. "How long?" Garth asked.
"10 minutes, Mr. Knight," Carlos said.
"Better make it 5 minutes, Mr. Sinclair because our adversaries are coming," Lex said noting two dots on the radar coming fast.
Michael stared at KARR as the vehicle was traveling at 90 miles an hour. Clark and KITT was not far behind. "What's going on," Mike asked as he stared at a graph the popped up on the heads-up display.
"That's Chronal energy being created by a time displacement device," KARR said. The car scanned each wave.
"What will these energy waves do to the world," Mike wanted to know. The Guardian spoke as a visual of the symbol of the House of El came up.
"They will rip all of reality apart, unless if we stop it at the source. You and Kal-El must stop it," the guardian voice said.
"Can we survive it?" Mike asked. The guardian scanned KARR & KITT in a nanosecond.
"Affirmative, Michael Knight. Allow me to infiltrate this car's AI and I can insure our survival through the timestream," the guardian said. Mike pressed down harder on the accelerator and the speed went up a notch.
Clark stared at KITT as he had quickly changed into his Superman costume. He was indeed thankful for Tess Mercer wiping Lex's memories before she died at Lex's hands. Clark had personally buried her after finding her body dumped near the Daily Planet building. Clark had taken the body to the old Kent Farm and buried it next to Jor-El's grave.
"What is that, KITT?" He asked as he tossed his glasses near his civilian clothes which were in the passenger seat of the car.
"Displacement energy waves. I have been monitoring KARR & Mike's internal communications and a third AI and we have to penetrate the energy waves before this energy destroys all of reality," KITT said as he was on auto cruise mode. Clark switched to Pursuit Mode and he too picked up speed to match the speed of Mike and KARR.
"Mike this is Clark. KITT & I am catching up to you. KARR is from a different reality so you could traverse the time spectrum more easily," Clark said.
"Will you and KITT make it through?" Mike asked, his voice coming through scratchy due to the dimensional energy all around them.
"Yes, but we might end up in different time periods," Clark said. He opened the roof of the car. Mike stared at them.
"What is he doing?" Mike asked.
"He's doing the one thing on the Last Son Of Krypton would do. He's insuring that Earth doesn't go the way of Krypton," the Guardian said. They saw the Man of steel launch himself into the air and he penetrated the time displacement wave. Mike shielded his eyes from blinding light. In an instant Mike, KARR, Clark and KITT were gone.
Interlude: Lex stared at the shattered time displacement device as the MCU and the Metropolis Police Department came in with Trinity Knight and FBI agents in tow.
"FBI! Your all under arrest! Hands on your head where I can see them!" She yelled. Garth tried to run but FBI and MCU officers blocked his way to Goliath.
"I'll never surrender to you bitch!" He screamed, charging at his sister. She kicked him in the face.
"Garth Wilton Knight, you are under arrest for the murder of an agent of the FBI, and Mr. Luthor is under arrest for the murder of the Last Son Of Krypton," Trinity said. Lex smirked.
"I'll be out before the ink dries, you arrogant bitch," Lex said. She slapped him so hard he was knocked out. She stared at Curtis Sinclair.
"Can you tell me what happened," she asked. Curtis smiled.
"Their not dead just merely displaced," he said as officers handcuffed him.
"Where are they?" She asked.
"Not where, Miss Knight, but when," he answered.
