Description
It had been only one year since Jor-El gave the final word at General Dru-Zod's trial, in which he and his companions were thrust into the Phantom Zone, however, don't assume that Jor-El is a man of judgement and law in Kandor's upper-class. Though an honest citizen, he lives in a remote town and is more at home peering under a scientific device rather than peering into a man's lawful or unlawfulness. He and his wife, Lara had been doing more research into the Phantom Zone and what it entails towards non-zone natives, it seems as though there were many corporeal and solid gates floating around space, though durable, they may one day collide with an object and shatter, however remote the chances may be. After months of trying Lara, had finally conceived a child, this, however grand was not as heartwarming to Jor-El as it might have been under normal circumstances. Brainiac had been detecting rather drastic meteorological changes in Krypton, the atmosphere was deteriorating and tremors in the planetary plates might start occurring soon. This danger would be unavoidable and catastrophic to the planet, the only solution was an evacuation, the space program had been canceled due to the war and almost every scientist had been creating weapons rather than building spacecraft. He took his findings before the Senate-Council, they told him he was mad, "A catastrophic event, indeed. We looked over your data and found no anomalies!", they booed and laughed him out of the council, all but one man, his brother, Zor-El.

He and his brother got together and started research into creating a space-pod that could slow growth and sustain life inside of it. Once this research and data was brought back to the council they became grim rather than haughty, "If you speak a word of your supposed findings and attempt to spread fear and terror amongst the citizens, we will have no choice but to deem you a public enemy and traitor, and have you sent into the Phantom Zone.", at this Jor-El became heated, telling them, "I will not be silent in the face of death, if I am to lock myself into a cage to save everyone, I will.", he stormed out, Zor-el and him went back to his home and began research once more. In the first prototype they were able to construct that could make it through the atmosphere they placed Zor-El's pet, Krypto, it sustained him for as far as the sensors could detect, and no sign of problems were seen. The second working prototype was used by Zor-El's daughter, Kara Zor-El and had the same optimistic results. The largest setback was materials, they couldn't obtain them from the government due to the lack of support, and with just a senator and scientist's pays they had to scrounge for them.

And after many months hey had finally built it, the last space-pod, only big enough for a small child, but that was all they needed, to save their son, to let him survive and live a life. It was on this day that the planet started to break down, the tremors had worsened over the months until they cracked the plains and mountains in two, the sky turned red from it's atmosphere deteriorating to nothing. They placed him in and said a prayer, off the pod shot, it's missile shape cutting a swath into the red/black smoke of the skies, the El's gathered and hugged for one last time.

{Wow, that one was pretty intense, hope you enjoyed, I know I did!}
