Chereads / DC reimagined: Prince of krypton / Chapter 3 - the coup 2

Chapter 3 - the coup 2

from the piles of debris and bodie

parts general Zod climbs up to find that he Kru-El are the only ones who survived

Zod survived with minor injury thanks to Kru-El who embraced him and thanked most of the damage

leaving the unconscious Kru-El , the wounded general made his way out of the palace while trying to contact the rest of his soldiers and he finds out that most of his warriors ended up either killed or captured by Jor-El and the Nobels army in that way putting an end to his ambition

Zod was in rage when suddenly he received a demand for support request but it wasn't his followers who send it

it was the K.G.A who send a call for backup to Zod , turns out Jor-El and his allies attacked the main servers of the K.G.A and the main nursery taking the codex that have all the genetic data of the kryptonian race and now they are trying to take over the main system to shut down the K.G.A

Zod ordered his remaining troops to protect the main serves while he made his way toward the last coordinates where Jor-El was spotted according to the K.G.A

Jor-El pov:

after discovering zod's plan I managed to warn the council and get their support to stop Zod and the K.G.A we know that we can't fight Zod head on without losing lot of lives and potentially lose because we knew that the K.G.A is the biggest threat were facing and his strongest weapon in his arsenal is the nursery

the nursery is a powerful machine not only it can produce millions of kryptonians daily but it can produce other life forms too he can make things like some dangerous creatures found in some harsh environment or it could be worse the codex contains genetic data accumulated since ancient times where the kryptonians didn't realize that their greed could bring to existence some bizarre and dangerous creatures and monsters who were Created in their attempt to achieve and build the perfect body almost ended causing the extinction of our race

before a scenario where monsters starts ravaging through krypton we staged a fake coronation to attract Zod attention while we focused attention on shutting down the nursery and recovering the codex and sending it back to my lab

I have received News that Zod has fallen into the trap but I am worried because I lost contact with Clara unfortunately I can't do anything about it now I have to stop this rogue ai before he cause more harm to the people of krypton luckily whit our United efforts we managed to break through the defences I only need to reach the central computer and restart the system using the new key of access

pov ends

Jor-El almost reached his target only few steps left but as soon he reached the main control room he got kicked from the side

the power of the blow sent Jor-El flying but he quickly came backup on his feet when he looked up he realized that it was Zod who intercepted him in that moment one look was enough for Jor-El to realize that the man he once called a friend and even though of him as a brother no longer exist in this world the man Infront of him no longer have the aura and dignity and pride of a leader as all he can see in Zod hollow red eyes is pure madness and thirst of blood

this realization made Jor-El feel a sence of responsibility as one of krypton greatest scientists and as royalty he felt like should've discovered this sooner or found a better way to solve this disaster that has already took millions of kryptonians life's but his regret and despair soon turned into wrath when he heard Zod's words

Zod: Jor-El worry not you will soon meet your family

Jor-El : what do you mean Zod no noo you didn't Zod tell me you didn't do what I think you did

Zod : yes I DID

Jor-El: but why you won't earn a thing by doing it it's not the way of an honorable kryptonian warrior you you were his good father what have you become

Zod : I have to there was no way that I was going to leave that primitive symbol of your rebellion that would be an insult to our ancestors and tarnish our honor

Jor-El: honor!! Rebellion!!! have you forgotten who I AM , I Am your king I am the supreme ruler the graet emperor of krypton so don't dare teach me about honor you are the one who broke his oath of allegiance and rebelled you are the tarnished one you one who abandoned honor and brought shame to his ancestors

Jor-El words cut deep into Zod's soul making him more enraged so he tried shooting down his friend again but this time the new emperor unlike his copy didn't stand still and retaliated against the attack knocked Zod's laser blaster

and engaged in close combat

the two used the blades that emerged out of their battle suit determined to slay each other

both are fighting with great weight on their shoulders because the outcome of this legendary battle will not only decide the entire race future but also hundreds of other races the number of lives in line is unaccountable

Zod was trying to corner Jor-El to limit his advantage of agility and speed because no matter what he tried his wounded body can't catch-up with Jor-El speed who was evading Zod attacks like a ghost while landing powerful attacks on Zod's heavy armor leaving deep cuts but before Zod's armor completely collapse he got his chance to change the tide and flip the table he finally managed to corner Jor-El as planned

before Zod confronted his target he chose the perfect place to assassinate Jor-El although kryptonian warriors are stronger by default than the rest kryptonian there is the exception of the royalty who have equally strong or even stronger bodies

Zod knew that he would struggle against Jor-El in a showdown of fighting skills and abilities from his former experience when he followed Jor-El in many expeditions he witness Jor-El skill multiple times and knew that his speed and fighting style is a perfect counter to his so he chooses the control room based on the size and the interior design of the room Jor-El won't be able to take advantage and display speed and style in such crammed area
