This my continuation onto Star Trek TNG/Smallville Crossover. It was called "Imzadi," and was written by Dragonball X Avalon. This my pick up point where they left off. Please note that some scenes are taken from the end of season 5, and other seasons of Smallville involving the Phantom Zone. I own nothing. Clark/Deanna Romance.

Quick Recap. Clark, and Deanna are in the Phantom Zone, They have been informed by Q what it is, Who has it out for them, What to watch out for, Which name not to use, and How to get back. The only problem is their way out is very close to their foe's camp(General Zod). So they have snuck around it, and now the continuation of the story.

Chapter 2 - Captured

Clark, and Deanna crept into the long entrance hall made of black rock that led to the gateway; Side stepping as they went so as not to attract unwanted attention.

"This place is really cold Clark..." Deanna whispered.

Clark removed his jacket, and offered it to her.

"Thanks, but that's not what I meant. It feels clamy, and erie here like something dead is lurking near by." She said with a shudder.

Clark turned suddenly, and wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace. Their bodies seeming to melt against each others for just a second.

He then pulled back, and said "It'll be alright Deanna, If anything happens I'll protect you." Clark then reasurred her with a passionate kiss, and then pulled back breathless.

"I love you Clark Kent." Deanna said blissfully. "And I you Deanna Troi." Clark said lovingly.

His expression then grew very serious. "We should keep moving, If we get caught here we'll be in real trouble."

She nodded, and they continued on. As they approached the threshold to the gateway Clark turned to shield Deanna from the sight that was before them. For not more than eight feet in front of them lay the rotting corpses of men, and women.

"Clark, What's wrong? Why won't you let me see?" Deanna asked concerned.

Clark answered "It's not a sight I would have you see, It's too gruesome."

Deanna looked him full in the face "Clark I appreciate you trying to be noble, and keep me from harm's way but I'm a big girl. Whatever it is I can handle it." She said firmly.

Clark stood aside to let her see, and despite herself she gasped in horror.

It was a horrible sight indeed. She turned away holding Clark tight, and his arms encircled her comforting her. Once she felt she could compose herself again she looked up into his eyes. "Let's go home." She said with tears in her eyes.

Clark nodded. It was time to go home. Time to leave this God forsaken place, and go back to the real world. He then reached down for a sharp rock, and cut his hand open. Blood instantly gushed out, and he tensed at the pain. He reached out for the crystal, and suddenly saw their biggest problem.

"Oh no!" Clark said in a raised voice forgetting the danger of which they were in.

Deanna put a finger to her lips, and in a frantic yet quiet voice "What's wrong?"

The shock in his face turned to utter horror. "The crystal, it's not here. It's been taken somehow!" Clark said utterly horrified.

Deanna looked confused. "I thought we just needed your blood to open the gateway."

Clark shook his head. "Don't you remember what Q said? The crystal is the gateway. Without it we can't get back."

Deanna looked down sheepishly. "So what do we do now Kal-"

Clark shouted "No Deanna, If the zoners hear my true name we're-"

Just then there came several loud growls, and all of a sudden in a giant whooshing noise they we're surrounded by zoners. Clark, and Deanna we're held in place with their arms at their sides with two zoners on each arm.

Just then a man with a week groan bear, and dressed in black strode into the chamber.

He was none other than General Zod, and a round his neck hanging like a necklace was the crystal.

He walked directly up to Clark.

He chuckled. "You have your Father's eyes. Hello Kal-el." Clark gritted his teeth.

"What do you want from me Zod?"

Zod sneered. "What anyone wants who'd been imprisoned like a beast. Revenge. Your father banished me here trying to save a doomed race. And in the end, the only survivor of his pathetic crusade was you his son. So if I can't have vengence on Jor-el than I will have it on his son, and the world he was sent to prorect."

Clark looked at him with utter defiance in his eyes. "I won't let you destroy Earth, like you did Krypton."

Zod laughed sinisterly, and then hit Clark in the face spewing blood on the sand floor.

"Jor-El couldn't stop me, and neither will his son." Zod spat.

"Then I'll die trying." Clark said through the blood in his mouth.

"Yes, I believe you will. This woman though..." gesturing at Deanna "You care about her, yes?" Zod asked mockingly.

Clark looked to Deanna who stood there with a frightened look on her face. Zod smiled "Kal-el swear your allegiance to me, and I'll allow her to remain unharmed, Kneel before Zod."

Clark looked at him; then at Deanna who shook her head, and the back to Zod.

"I will never join you." Clark said.

Deanna beamed with pride at his unbending will.

Zod nodded, and sneered. "Well, I hope that's a decision you'll be able to live with forever."

Zod gestured to his guards. "Take him to the quarters of the gladiators; prepare him for his first fight, and bring the woman to my chambers in chains."

Deanna was then drug away as Clark struggled against his captors try to rescue her.

"Deanna! DEANNA!" He screamed after her.

She let out a high pitched scream "CLARK!"

Then she was gone.

Clark growled in fury glaring at Zod. "If you lay a finger on her Zod I swear I will make you pay!"

Zod sneered. "Oh I'm counting on it Son of Jor-el. Take him away..." Clark struggled to get free as he was dragged away but to no avail;

All the while Zod stood there, and watched with satisfaction.
