Logos play on screen as the dull sound of BLASTER being FIRED and BOMBS going off is heard.

CUT TO :
EXT. HOUSE OF EL CITADEL -DUSK

We see JOR-EL fly his craft down towards the landing pad of the citadel.
Camera pans around the ship as he exits it to show CHAOS unfolding around him.
Kyrptonian fighter ships were firing blasters at each other, bombarding. EXPLOSIONS. WAR.
The planet itself seemed to be shaking with fire erupting in IRREGULAR patterns.

INT. HOUSE OF EL CITADEL COMMON CHAMBER- DUSK

The sound of a baby crying echoes the halls as LARA slowly walks around, cradling her infant son in her arms.
The doors of the chamber slides open and Jor-El enters the hall.
Lara follows her husband into the Launching tower .
Jor-El begins working in his computer .
Kel-ex, the droid hovers over.

KEL-EX
May I be of assistance, sir?

JOR-EL
Maintain the cooling temperature.
Monitor the stasis.

The droid hovers away as Jor-El moves towards a small spaceship mounted on the launching platform .

Lara approaches him as he tends to the pod.

LARA
(Sounding apprehensive)
Are you sure about this, Jor?

Jor-El looks solemnly at his wife.

JOR-El
Zod has already overthrown the highcouncil.

LARA
I know. But maybe if I could
just try and-

JOR-EL
Lara. Your brother is well beyond
reasoning . If we are to
save our son, we must act now.

After a moment's hesitation, Lara nods and stands back, cradling their newborn son in her arms.

Jor-El then turns to Kel-Ex as the droid showed a 3d model of a planet .

JOR-EL
Earth. A planet similar to our own. And yet different.

A 3d model of a human is brought up.

JOR-EL
With a seemingly intelligent population.

Lara eyes the 3D model apprehensively.

LARA
He'll be an outcast there...
A freak. They'll fear him.

JOR-EL
He stands a better chance there than he does if he stays here.

Just then, Kal cries .
Lara and Jor-El look down at their son.

LARA
Jor... I can't.
I thought I could...But I'm scared.

JOR-EL
Lara.

LARA
Just let me look at him.

Tears begin streaming from her eyes.

LARA
We're never going to see him walk. Or call our names.

They are interrupted by Kel-Ex.

JOR-EL
What is it, Kel-Ex?

Kel-Ex draws up a model of a military craft.

KEL-EX
There are 5 attack ships converging from the east. The citadel's defenses are being scanned and evaluated.
