Chapter 006

Early the next morning, after bidding farewell to Martha, Dane and Clark soared through the skies toward the North Pole. Though Dane had a rough idea of the spacecraft's location, Clark's clairvoyant eyes effortlessly guided them beneath the icy surface. Approximately 300 meters down, they found the spacecraft that belonged to Jor-El's ancestor, Carla Zo El.

The ship, on a space exploration mission 20,000 years ago, had gathered knowledge from countless worlds. Inspired by the potential of combining science and magic, Dane decided to explore the ship's secrets.

As Clark prepared to insert the key, Dane wisely cautioned him about blocking the signal to avoid Zod's detection. Clark, appreciating the advice, took the necessary precautions.

Upon activating the spacecraft, a floating platform emerged, sensing their presence. It led them to the cockpit, where a figure resembling a nanomaterial chrysalis appeared behind Clark. Swiftly neutralizing the potential threat with a lightning bolt, Dane maintained a watchful eye.

Clark, grateful for Dane's quick action, inserted the key into the jack, illuminating the entire spaceship. Dane reminded Clark to request silence from the ship's systems, revealing the holographic representation of Jor-El, Clark's Kryptonian father.

In the cockpit, Jor-El introduced himself, holding the consciousness and memory of Clark's biological father, Jor el.Excitement and curiosity filled Clark as he inquired about his origins. Jor-El explained that Clark's real name was karl El, representing the memory of his human father.

As Jor-El recounted Krypton's history, including its prosperous expansion, civil war, and environmental issues, Dane grasped the cryptic details. The civil war, he understood, marked a significant turning point in Krypton's fate.

Continuing the narrative, Jor-El mentioned General Zod's attempt to save Krypton through a coup, confronting the unstable planetary core and resource exhaustion. Jor-El and Clark's mother foresaw the tragic outcome, leading them to send Clark to Earth for his survival.

Visiting the Genesis Chamber, Jor-El elaborated on Clark's birth circumstances and the concept of free will. Clark, convinced by Jor-El's words, felt a profound sense of purpose and conviction.

Jor-El opened a locker, revealing the iconic blue tights and red cape—the superhero costume of Superman. Clark, holding the suit, glanced at Dane before taking flight to embrace his destiny. Jor-El, reassured that Clark had friends by his side, recognized that he wouldn't be alone on his journey.
