The Mother throws herself over her nearly year and a half year old son. The shaking has been horrendous all day , it has been growing worse day by day for months but this is as bad as she could ever imagine. "Kal-El , Kal- El, How much longer can our doomed world endure? How much longer can any of us endure?"
In the large central laboratory that dominates their vast home, Her husband and Krypton's brightest scientist is pre-occupied with his greatest and, most likely project, a small but very sophisticated space ship, one capable of warp-navigation and one which will take the boy to a planet where he will thrive.
Krypton and its' mega advanced civilization will soon be atomized as the growing pressures within its' core will turn it, effectively, into a bomb. Jor-El feverishly and unrelentingly continues at his task. Atest launch using Kal-El's pet dog went awry, causing the pet to become Lost in Space.
" Lara, Dearest, We have so little time! There is a navigational problem I can't seem to correct. If I don't fix it, Our Kal-El will either never leave our world or become lost as Krypto now is!! !". A another violent quake shook, Jor-El swiftly pulled his son from the floor before a large segment of the ceiling nearly struck him!
With Alarm, Jor-El quickly examined some vital sensors, " Lara, I neee to load him into the rocket now. That last jolt is the death blow. Our world will be gone in minutes." " Jor- El, You said you aren't ready!" " If I do not act, All 3 of us die with our world!"
Jor- El grasps the son he so loves, and places him within his ark! He quickly tries to reduce the last of his preparation!" " It's working it's powering up, I f I can only now gain..." Then the nightmare last jolt, the jolt that Jor-El had been racing against strikes., " No, Not now, I need more time, I don't have it but I need it."
Lara's eyes fill with tears and look away, so that she will avoid any possibility of seeing her husband and son
die! Jor- El, The Man of Science and Technology and Logic. look now straight upward, " If there is anything beyond me, greater than I , I ask for help. Please let my son live. Please!"
Jor-El was enveloped ,for a brief moment, by peace and a word that his ears could not decipher but that his spirit thrilled over! The crumbling of the world suddenly------------------- ceased ! Jor- El took a deep breathe, " Lara, Krypton should be gone, but we are here!" Jor-El fingers now worked with a supernatural dexterity, " That's it, Lara. We're ready".The two parents looked in on their son, within the rocket for the last time, and both tenderly kissed the rocket.
Setting himself fully up right, Jor-El grasped Lara's hand and pushed the launch button. The spacecraft leapt to life and spend away from the family home. The quaking started again. Jor-El watched tensely, Kal-El would not be fully safe until he reached the space warp it had been aimed at. , " 3, 2, 1! Yes, He's in- He's safe Lara, He's on his way to Earth!"
" Thank you, Greater One, Please guard our son!!!. I commit myself .." Jorel looked down and saw Lara nodding in agreement, " and my dear wife Lara to your provision" There was one last explosion and Jor-ElL, Lara and 8 Billion people were turned to dust.
A Mighty Hero, with a magnificent " S" on his chest ,proudly flies over our world as its' guardian and protector. Once, Due to the will of The One beyond all limits. A vulnerable boy was permitted entry into a new and wonderful life. The same life that any of us, minus Super Powers- can enjoy!
