1. Ookir.
Copy !req
2. The Galaxy is yours.
Copy !req
3. You claim to be our son?
Copy !req
4. Yes. I have come
from the distant future
Copy !req
5. to free you
from the Phantom Zone.
Copy !req
6. There is much to explain,
Copy !req
7. but you should know
that 40 years ago,
Rao exploded,
Copy !req
8. taking Krypton with it.
Copy !req
9. But Krypton lives on
in the House of Zod,
Copy !req
10. and you, General Dru-Zod,
Copy !req
11. are destined
to unite this Galaxy
under your rule.
Copy !req
12. Not long ago,
the Phantom Zone Projector
sought to draw me out.
Copy !req
13. That was me.
Copy !req
14. But you see before you
warriors determined
to thwart my efforts
Copy !req
15. and your destiny in order
to keep you trapped in
the living death of the Zone.
Copy !req
16. And you see that,
as your loyal son,
Copy !req
17. I have gathered the resources
to bring them all low.
Copy !req
18. Even this one.
Copy !req
19. Kal-El, the so called Superman.
Copy !req
20. Last survivor
of the House of El.
Copy !req
21. Some of what you say
tallies with
what we already know.
Copy !req
22. But if you are truly our son,
speak the Secret Maxim
of the House of Zod.
Copy !req
23. "From the will comes strength.
Copy !req
24. From strength comes the will."
Copy !req
25. He is our son.
Copy !req
26. Of course, he's our son, Dru.
Copy !req
27. He has your eyes.
Copy !req
28. Follow me,
Copy !req
29. and I will bring you to a world
under a yellow sun
Copy !req
30. that will grant both of you
power unimaginable.
Copy !req
31. And with that power
will come the true ascension
of the House of Zod.
Copy !req
32. Go back through the Boomtube.
Organize the others.
Copy !req
33. Gather every Zone inmate
from the other Forts.
Copy !req
34. Bring my Army back
through this portal.
Copy !req
35. As you command.
Copy !req
36. Oh, no, you don't.
Copy !req
37. What just— How did she—
Copy !req
38. Damn it.
Copy !req
39. The Lantern's will is strong.
Copy !req
40. My brain-blast
barely phased her,
Copy !req
41. and the Mother-Thrall
cannot contain her for long.
Copy !req
42. - You should—
- My parents are vulnerable here.
Copy !req
43. Get us back to Earth, now!
Copy !req
44. As you wish.
Copy !req
45. But Mother-Thrall
can only create
one Boomtube at a time.
Copy !req
46. You have your orders!
Copy !req
47. Those are
the General's orders—
Copy !req
48. Well, that takes care
of that problem.
Copy !req
49. Yeah. I thought
we'd have to fight off
an entire Kryptonian Army
Copy !req
50. to keep 'em out
of that Boomtube.
Copy !req
51. Z, time to go.
Copy !req
52. Wait! We will not flee!
We still have people
in the Zone!
Copy !req
53. And we'll get them all out
once you're secure.
Copy !req
54. Trust me, Father.
Copy !req
55. Where are we?
Copy !req
56. I thought it appropriate
to take possession
of the Fortress of our enemy,
Copy !req
57. Earth's Superman, Kal-El,
Copy !req
58. son of Lara and Jor-El.
Copy !req
59. He is alive.
Copy !req
60. Well, not for long.
Copy !req
61. Stop.
Copy !req
62. Father, you don't understand.
This is Kon-El, your enemy.
Copy !req
63. And look, this world's
yellow sun
already begins to heal him.
Copy !req
64. We must kill him now,
before he recovers
his invulnerability.
Copy !req
65. I have turned this Superboy.
Copy !req
66. Now, his loyalty
is only to Zod.
Copy !req
67. - But—
- My son, do you challenge the word of Zod?
Copy !req
68. No. No, of course not.
Copy !req
69. Calm yourself, husband.
Copy !req
70. All children test their elders.
Copy !req
71. Ah, your touch,
Copy !req
72. your actual physical touch
could calm a Devourer.
Copy !req
73. It is wonderful
to be real again.
Copy !req
74. It's more than that.
Copy !req
75. I feel better.
Copy !req
76. Stronger than I ever have.
Copy !req
77. That's Earth's yellow sun.
Copy !req
78. After being under
Trombus' red sun,
Copy !req
79. I'm not yet at my peak,
but I can still do this.
Copy !req
80. That should prevent
any interference.
Copy !req
81. Now, please.
Step inside these devices.
Copy !req
82. They are solar pods
that will hasten
your ascendancy to true power.
Copy !req
83. First things first.
Copy !req
84. Reopen the portal to the Zone.
Copy !req
85. We need to get my people out.
Copy !req
86. We need the Army
of the House of Zod.
Copy !req
87. Now, let us claim our power.
Copy !req
88. One school-bus portal
to the real world coming up—
Copy !req
89. The Boomtube has reopened.
Copy !req
90. So first a Boomtube
opens, then it closes,
then it opens again?
Copy !req
91. And we come here
to get Superboy.
Copy !req
92. He won't go with us.
Copy !req
93. And then he leaves without us?
Copy !req
94. Yeah, I'm really getting
to hate the Phantom Zone.
Copy !req
95. Mother of Goat.
Copy !req
96. All right, come on.
Job to do.
Copy !req
97. I told you the General
would come through.
Copy !req
98. Now, go! Gather his army!
Copy !req
99. Kid Flash?
Copy !req
100. Are you all right?
Copy !req
101. Yeah, fine, big guy.
Just feeling
a little inhibited,
Copy !req
102. if you know what I mean.
Copy !req
103. Oh, right.
Copy !req
104. Ah-ha!
Copy !req
105. Thanks. BRB. Peow!
Copy !req
106. - Where the hell's he going?
- We'll find out soon enough.
Copy !req
107. Miss Martian.
Copy !req
108. Conner is alive.
Copy !req
109. And he's in so much pain.
Copy !req
110. Physical and emotional.
Copy !req
111. Even while we were
being tortured by my brother,
I could feel it.
Copy !req
112. Clark, he's so lost.
Copy !req
113. He's regressed to his base
Cadmus programming.
Copy !req
114. Meaning he's back
to thinking
he's just a weapon?
Copy !req
115. Meaning he's a loose cannon
under enemy control.
Copy !req
116. I need to find him.
Copy !req
117. We need to
get back to Earth.
Copy !req
118. Closest planet
under a yellow sun.
Copy !req
119. That's where they'd go.
Copy !req
120. We've lost Motherbox.
Copy !req
121. There will be no Boomtube.
Copy !req
122. But perhaps Green Lantern
can take us through subspace.
Copy !req
123. Hello, Megan!
Copy !req
124. She will have some help.
Copy !req
125. Look.
Copy !req
126. Damn it.
Copy !req
127. The Boomtube
warped my glamour.
I couldn't hold it.
Copy !req
128. Then we must hold the door.
Copy !req
129. Move, Soldiers of Zod!
Copy !req
130. You shall not pass!
Copy !req
131. Huh. I bet he's always
wanted to say that.
Copy !req
132. I always
wanted to say that.
Copy !req
133. Focus. Do not forget
that they defeated us before.
And handily.
Copy !req
134. For the sake of the galaxy,
we cannot let them
defeat us again.
Copy !req
135. Forager's warp-field
is so crash!
Copy !req
136. I'm running fast,
so Bio-Ship can run faster,
Copy !req
137. and now Forager's breaking
all modes to get us back
to Earth even faster still!
Copy !req
138. Thank you, Bio-Ship.
Copy !req
139. It means worlds to me that
you've foregone your retirement
for Conner's sake.
Copy !req
140. You really did it.
Copy !req
141. You really saved Superboy!
Copy !req
142. I'm afraid I... we...
haven't quite saved him yet.
Copy !req
143. Maybe not, but after
spending months believing
we'd failed and lost you both,
Copy !req
144. it's a miracle to learn
there's at least now hope.
Copy !req
145. But...
should we be involving
these heroes?
Copy !req
146. We're putting the timestream
at real risk.
Copy !req
147. With Zod free,
that's the least
of our worries.
Copy !req
148. How you doing?
Copy !req
149. Learning there are
other survivors from Krypton
must be an adjustment.
Copy !req
150. You know, I've wished for this
my whole life.
Copy !req
151. But now the very thing
I've wished for is putting
the entire galaxy at risk.
Copy !req
152. Honestly, I... I have no idea
what I'm feeling.
Copy !req
153. Except this.
Copy !req
154. I'm relieved Conner's alive.
Copy !req
155. And right now our focus
needs to be on saving him.
Copy !req
156. Kid Flash, have you heard
from Zatanna or Nightwing?
Copy !req
157. Last time I saw them,
they were looking for you.
Copy !req
158. Well, they never found me.
Copy !req
159. No clue where they are now.
Copy !req
160. It's working.
We're like the Spartans—
Copy !req
161. At Thermopylae, yes.
A small force can hold
a small pass because—
Copy !req
162. Only so many
opponents can attack at once.
Copy !req
163. Etativel yawa, Gib Yug!
Copy !req
164. Thanks, Z!
Copy !req
165. Happy to help.
Copy !req
166. Not that
this isn't asterous, but
someone needs to find out
Copy !req
167. what's at the other end
of this Boomtube.
Copy !req
168. Go. We've got this.
Copy !req
169. Okay, then.
Copy !req
170. - Ready to tap in, Roc?
- Very.
Copy !req
171. I have never felt
like this before.
Copy !req
172. It is akin to miraculous.
Copy !req
173. No!
Copy !req
174. Mother? Father?
Copy !req
175. We seem to be fine, my son.
Copy !req
176. The explosion
could not damage us.
Copy !req
177. Our assailant?
Copy !req
178. Dead.
Copy !req
179. My love?
Copy !req
180. Can you not feel it?
Copy !req
181. So much power
yet so much more to gain.
Copy !req
182. Ah! The process
was interrupted
before its peak!
Copy !req
183. Patience, Mother.
Copy !req
184. When the sun rises—
Copy !req
185. After 40 years
in the Phantom Zone, do not
speak to me of patience!
Copy !req
186. I have endured helplessness
for too long.
Copy !req
187. In any just universe,
the true power I've tasted here
would be mine by right!
Copy !req
188. By right, right now!
Copy !req
189. - Ursa!
- Mother!
Copy !req
190. Seof, hcnup hcae rehto!
Copy !req
191. Kryptonians, build your rage!
Copy !req
192. Build your rage!
Copy !req
193. Build your rage!
Copy !req
194. You're not the only ones
getting angry here!
Copy !req
195. I should hope not.
Copy !req
196. Now, Soldiers of Zod,
still your hearts,
as the General taught you!
Copy !req
197. What the—
Copy !req
198. - What is that thing?
- No idea.
Copy !req
199. Whatever it is,
at least it's blocking
the entrance.
Copy !req
200. You cannot win, Earthers.
Copy !req
201. For you do not understand
the ways of the Zone.
Copy !req
202. Of course!
Within the Boomtube,
the old rules still apply!
Copy !req
203. No!
Copy !req
204. I was sentenced to five years!
I've been here over 40!
Copy !req
205. It isn't right!
Copy !req
206. Our offer still stands.
We will consider parole.
Copy !req
207. The time for patience
has passed!
Copy !req
208. What sorcery is this?
Copy !req
209. Sorcery, indeed, Father.
Copy !req
210. This is the Eye of Ekron,
Copy !req
211. one of the most powerful
mystic weapons
of the 31st century,
Copy !req
212. wielded in that era by a woman
known as the Emerald Empress.
Copy !req
213. And this Eye has chosen me?
Copy !req
214. Who better?
Copy !req
215. Who could possibly
be more worthy?
Copy !req
216. No one but Ursa Zod,
the new Emerald Empress.
Copy !req
217. Still, we cannot allow
ourselves to be distracted,
even by this good fortune.
Copy !req
218. It's not hard to guess that
this one's four companions
Copy !req
219. are the reason our people
haven't come through
the Boomtube.
Copy !req
220. Leave that to me.
Copy !req
221. Beware, Lor-Zod,
Copy !req
222. Boomtubes were not designed
to remain open forever.
Copy !req
223. Maintain control of that thing
and keep it open.
Copy !req
224. It's not about control,
it's about physics.
Copy !req
225. You won't have much time.
Copy !req
226. I Love
that Big Blue Marble!
Copy !req
227. Searching for Boomtube spikes.
Copy !req
228. Here, a substantial signal.
Copy !req
229. What is that place?
Copy !req
230. My Fortress of Solitude.
Copy !req
231. The enemy has invaded
your sanctum?
Copy !req
232. Maybe don't rub it in.
Copy !req
233. The Fortress
has external sensors.
Copy !req
234. When we get close,
it will alert
whomever's inside.
Copy !req
235. Bio-Ship has already
interfaced with the Fortress'
Kryptonian systems.
Copy !req
236. They'll never see us coming.
Copy !req
237. We make our stand here,
where our weapons
and limbs are solid.
Copy !req
238. Incoming, on our six!
Copy !req
239. There. That should stop
traffic both ways.
Copy !req
240. Stop, fools! You're only
strengthening her field!
Copy !req
241. Okay, his heat vision
is going to become
a problem very soon.
Copy !req
242. What are you trying to tell me?
Copy !req
243. It is as I feared.
Copy !req
244. The Mother-Thrall
can no longer maintain
the Boomtube.
Copy !req
245. It's losing cohesion.
Copy !req
246. Lor! Time is up!
Copy !req
247. The Boomtube is collapsing!
Copy !req
248. Uh, what happens
if we're inside of a Boomtube
when it collapses?
Copy !req
249. I'm betting
we don't want to find out.
Copy !req
250. The portal fails! Move!
Copy !req
251. Get us out of here, Z.
Copy !req
252. Mutrap a latrop!
Copy !req
253. Move!
Copy !req
254. - Rocket—
- Go! I'm right behind you!
Copy !req
255. Rocket.
Copy !req
256. Prepare to engage.
Copy !req
257. It's not possible!
Copy !req
258. Listen—
Copy !req
259. I knew it.
Copy !req
260. I've killed her.
Copy !req
261. In truth,
I'd prefer not to fight you.
Copy !req
262. Though you are a son of El,
Copy !req
263. you are also a son of Krypton,
Copy !req
264. which makes you
a rare commodity.
Copy !req
265. Kneel before Zod, Kal-El,
Copy !req
266. and together
we can turn this Earth
Copy !req
267. into a paradise of strength
for what remains of our people.
Copy !req
268. Pass.
Copy !req
269. As you wish.
Copy !req
270. Well...
Copy !req
271. it seems you're on your knees
before me, after all.
Copy !req
272. Kon-El...
Copy !req
273. Conner, help me.
Copy !req
274. - Hold your place, boy.
- It's all right.
Copy !req
275. - I can't help him.
- Why?
Copy !req
276. Because you're already dead.
Copy !req
277. Do you see, Father,
they are House of El.
Copy !req
278. That one's your enemy,
and this one doesn't know
his own mind.
Copy !req
279. We must kill them both.
Copy !req
280. No.
Copy !req
281. I have a better idea.
Copy !req
282. People of Earth,
I am General Zod.
Copy !req
283. And on the basis of my will
and my strength,
Copy !req
284. I lay claim to this world
in the name of Krypton
and the House of Zod.
Copy !req
285. Do not look for succor
from terrestrial forces.
Copy !req
286. Here are your greatest heroes,
Copy !req
287. Superman and Superboy,
Copy !req
288. both Sons of Krypton,
who betrayed their homeworld.
Copy !req
289. One has already fallen,
Copy !req
290. the other has wisely chosen
to serve...
Copy !req
291. at my side.
Copy !req
292. - Is that really Superboy?
- I thought he was dead.
Copy !req
293. What's wrong with Superman?
Copy !req
294. Watch, as I order
this loyal follower
to slay his only brother.
Copy !req
295. You are the weapon created
to slay the Superman,
should he turn from the light.
Copy !req
296. Prove your loyalty, my son.
Copy !req
297. Prove you are loyal
to the House of Zod.
Copy !req
298. Kal-El has turned away
from the light of Krypton.
Copy !req
299. Finish the work you started.
Copy !req
300. We have nothing here.
Copy !req
301. Nothing but each other.
Copy !req
302. It helps to stay together.
Copy !req
303. Stay and be a part
of what the House of Zod builds.
Copy !req
304. The choice is yours.
Copy !req
305. That's what family does.
Copy !req
306. Come on, my boy.
One more jump.
Copy !req
307. Whom do you serve?
Copy !req
308. I serve the House of Zod.
Copy !req
309. Conner, stop!
Copy !req
310. Prove it!
Copy !req
311. On my signal...
Copy !req
312. at my command.
Copy !req
313. And once this is done, Earthers,
Copy !req
314. you will see that
all must kneel before Zod.
Copy !req
