It starts at Krypton.
Many people run past the statue, and the woman hides until they pass before
running towards what they were running from. Above, more meteorites fall and
the woman hides behind a rock. From where a meteorite lands, a bunch of
Terminator-style robots appear, scanning the area. Just as one of them is
about to scan the woman, the Kyrptonian army arrives and engages with them.
They... don't do well, being swatted and shot. The woman uses the opportunity
to run further but trips. She looks up to see a large head-shaped ship with
tentacles sticking out of it. The robots turn to approach her. She runs and
they follow... until she crawls through a drainpipe, where they can't follow.
We see an observatory that the woman walks up to. She heads to a balcony of
the observatory and sees the city she just escaped from being sucked up and
digitized by the large ship. The ship then shoots up above the clouds,
leaving the woman in absolute shock. She is Kara Zor-El, and the city was
Argo, her home. The doors behind her opens and in walks one of the robots,
called a "Beta." But, as it's about to capture Kara, her mother comes in
with a laser gun and shoots it and other Betas in the back of their heads.
Kara: Mother!
Alura: Kara! Come quickly! *holds off the Betas as Kara runs to the door. Closes them quickly* Stay with me, Kara. *walks away from the door and down the corridor with Kara behind her*
Kara: *hysterical* Mother, the ship--it just---Argo City's gone! Millions of
people...
Alura: That's only the beginning--Brainiac's destabilized the planet's core. Krypton won't hold together much longer...*they reach a door*
KARA: But all your research--isn't there something you can do?
KARA'S MOTHER: (punches code into door) That's why we're here.
(The door opens to show...)
KARA: A spaceship? That's what you've been working on?
KARA'S MOTHER: (walks to console) Your uncle Jor-El discovered a planet that
can sustain Kryptonians, far away from Brainiac. (activates the
ship, which lowers for Kara) He's built a ship just like this
one for your cousin, Kal.
KARA: But Kal...he's just a baby...!
KARA'S MOTHER: (approaching Kara) Which is why you need to protect him. Teach
him our ways.
KARA: (confused) ME teach him? What about you...? (suddenly understands) No.
No. No, I won't leave you! (in tears) Please, please don't make me!
KARA'S MOTHER: (also tearing up) I can't come with you, but you'll never be
alone. (hugs Kara) You belong to the House of El, Kara. A
house of hope. Never forget that. Never give up hope. (The
Betas pound on the door) Get in!
(Kara gets into the cockpit and the window lowers. She sees the Betas
entering and approaching her mother. She pounds on the glass in tears,
begging her to turn around. But, as she lifts off, the Betas grab her. She
winces at the G-forces until she leaves Krypton's atmosphere. Then she
cries at the loss of her mother. Another ship appears on her right. Inside
its cockpit is a baby; Kal-El...the man who would later be known on Earth as
"Superman". That's when the planet of Krypton is destroyed. Kara braces
herself as the ship is rocked by debris.)
KARA: Hold on, Kara. Hold on...(two large chunks of the planet strike her
ship dead-on and she spins, going a different direction from Kal-El's
ship, away from Earth) Kal! No! No, please! KAL!!
