[DC] Chapter 1: The child who was destined to be emperor.
🕑 Added 2020-08-11 08:30:39 +0000 UTC
I was born to be a king, an emperor, a monarch. I was born to lead my people to a bright future.
At least, that's what I was told on my first day of life. I have no name, I am just called 'emperor' by my parents.
According to my parents, I was born from the best DNA of my people.
Engineer, Warrior, Diplomat, Politician, Cook, etc. They took DNA from the best men and women in their respective areas of
work and raised me, my parents told me I was 'perfect.'
I lived in isolation for a decade. During said isolation, I had several instructors. My military instructor was a Kryptonian named General Zod. He was a rigid man. He had an expressionless visage, similar to me; he was created to be the perfect warrior. If I was the perfect 'emperor,' he was the perfect warrior.
I also have his genes in my body; in a way, you can call me Krypton's son. After all, I have all the genes of the most important people on the planet.
General Zod is the perfect 'warrior,' a man created genetically to serve Krypton, an ideal weapon, a perfect general.
My policy instructor was a woman named Alura In-Ze, she was a strict but kind woman. At first, she treated me very coldly. However, as time passed, she started to treat me more gently; this was the first time in my life that I knew what 'kindness' was. She had a daughter named Kara Zor -Hey, Kara was a spoiled but intelligent girl. Still, I could see that she was very similar to her mother, she was a very kind girl.
Alura In-Ze taught me everything I needed to know about politics; she was the woman who changed my view as to how an emperor should act.
My military instructor General Zod said that a good emperor was the one who ruled with strength.
I believed he was right, how are people going to follow me if I'm weak?
But my policy instructor said: "A good emperor is one who takes care of his people and guides them. He has to be strong, gentle, and rigid when needed; he needs the wisdom to guide the people to a better future."
Basically, I need to be strong and govern wisely.
My science and technology instructor was Alura's husband, named Zor-El. He taught me everything I needed to know about Krypton technology.
I had two instructors in science and technology. The first was Zor-El, and the second was a man named Jor-El.
The two scientists were brothers.
Krypton was a stringent society. Which the common people were like me, were people created genetically to do what was programmed to them.
I agree that this method is effective if you want to progress quickly and evolve, but I think that method is flawed in the long run.
If a society is governed by 'machines' and not by people, that society is a failure.
I lived isolated until I learned everything possible about Krypton, my home planet. I don't know what the goal of the people who raised me was. I don't know why they raised me isolated from the other Kryptonians. However, I didn't care, I don't have time to think about it now.
I wanted to learn everything about my people.
It took me 18 years to learn everything I had to know about Krypton, with a photographic memory. Everything I read remained etched in my brain, I was ready, and I was prepared to rule the promised planet since childhood.
But a discovery shattered my hopes.
Krypton, my home planet was dying.
It was my second science and technology instructor Jor-El who made this discovery. People didn't believe him, people didn't want to think that their home planet was dying.
But I believed it, I don't think that an intelligent man like Jor-El would make such as mistake, he told me that the planet would only have days to live.
With the impending destruction of my planet, I didn't know what to do, but as a future emperor, I couldn't let my race be forgotten, I couldn't let Krypton die.
So I committed a crime...
With Jor-El's help, I stole the Codex. The Codex was an item that contained the DNA of the entire Kryptonian race.
Jor-El wanted to fuse this item to his son Kal-El. But I wouldn't allow it, I will not allow an item that could revive the Kryptonians to merge with a baby who knows nothing.
I tried to convince Jor-El to fuse this Codex in my DNA, but he refused, he said that his son should have the Codex.
I didn't understand his reasoning, why should the son have something that could resurrect the Kryptonians and I don't?
When I asked him to explain himself, he said that his son was a Kryptonian who was born naturally.
I was surprised by this revelation, after all, a normal birth hasn't taken place on this planet for centuries.
But so what? So what if his son was born naturally? I was raised with all the best Krypton DNA, in my view, his son was just like those clones that were born only to serve Krypton.
Even with that explanation, Jor-El did not want to give me the Codex.
I was irritated by his petty insistence. How can such an intelligent man put his own planet's race in danger just because he thinks his son is special? This is the Codex! This item allows Kryptonians to have a future!
I can't allow this item to merge into a baby who doesn't know anything!
When I was about to steal the Codex from Jor-El, I heard:
"Jor-El, hand over the Codex."
General Zod entered the room with his subordinates.
"No!"
Jor-El refused and tried to fuse the Codex with the baby, but I would not let that happen, with a quick movement, I took the Codex with my hands and ran towards General Zod.
Jor-El tried to stop me, but he stopped when the guns were pointed at him.
"Emperor."
General Zod said bowing.
I realize that his subordinates were surprised by General Zod's actions
.
"No! You can not do that!"
I ignore Jor-El's voice.
"General Zod, what are you doing?"
I can not help asking curious; after all, he is carrying several weapons, although I have an idea of
what he is doing.
"Coup d 'Γ©tat, my lord."
I knew it.
"General Zod, I order you to immediately stop the coup d 'Γ©tat. I want you to select the people you most trust and immediately flee this planet."
"But, my lord." Before he could continue, I interrupted:
"General Zod, Krypton, will be destroyed at any moment," I say in a heavy voice, and with small tears falling from my eyes, I quickly wiped my face with my shirt.
"I see ..." He said in a voice that carried a heavy feeling. "Why did you hide it?" He asked Jor-El as he was connecting an escape ship for his son.
"You, who didn't believe me."
"I am your friend Jor-El; of course, I would believe you."
"You should have been banned, General Zod."
Seeing that this discussion would take time, I said in a voice containing authority: "Enough! General Zod, do what I asked you to do."
Seeing the General's hesitation, I say, "Krypton will live with me, as long as I don't die Krypton will be resurrected."
With a surprised look, General Zod said, "Yes, Sir."
Suddenly I hear sounds of the ship flying, looking in the direction of the sound, I see the small ship containing Jor-El's son flying towards space.
"Where did you send the ship, Jor-El?" I asked, but Jor-El just kept quiet.
"Arrest this man, and find out where he sent his son, I will merge with the Codex," I ordered subordinates to be close to General Zod.
Seeing the hesitation of his subordinates. General Zod proclaimed: "This man is the emperor of Krypton, he is our future, you must follow all his orders."
"Yes, sir." The subordinates said and soon started to do what I asked.
"You must not ally yourself with Zod, their goals go against everything I taught you!" Jor-El said while being dragged with his wife to somewhere I don't care.
"Faora-Ul, protect the emperor." General Zod said. "I have things to do."
Before General Zod could leave, I said, "I want you to steal several Krypton ships. You must get all the data on the planet's history and technology. I want you to get an even number of men and women, if you get 1000 men, I want you to take 1000 women."
"Yes, Sir." General Zod said as he left with his subordinates, soon I see a woman with short hair and blue eyes approaching me.
...
Faora Hu-Ul, the hunting dog of Zod, a cruel and bloodthirsty woman, a woman with the same ideas as Zod, a woman who wanted Krypton to return to a militaristic and brutal empire."
Faora looked at the man in front of her. He had long blond hair, blue eyes, and a noble aura surrounding him. Like a bloodthirsty woman, she could instinctively realize that this man was just like her.
...
"Do you know about me?" Faora asked.
I walked over to the bed that Jor-El intended to use to fuse the Codex into Kal-El's genes. "Yes, I saw your war record, I have to say that your performance on the battlefield is brutal and bloody." I sat on the bed and put the Codex in the equipment.
"Do you disapprove of my attitudes in battle?" Faora asked as she stood beside me.
"Not. To be honest, I found your performance in battle very inspiring." I say my real thoughts, the sight of Faora destroying Krypton's enemies was surprising.
I don't see changes in Faora's expression.
"You who call yourself an emperor, you who have Zod's respect, tell me. Which Empire do you want to create?"
I activate the machine, soon I felt the Codex fusing in my blood, I don't feel pain, I just felt 'complete,' I always felt that something was missing. Now I understand what it was I was born with the DNA of the best, and the Codex is the conjunction of all these DNAs.
"I'm going to take a different path than Krypton. I plan to rule with wisdom and intelligence. I will not create a militaristic and bloody empire. That kind of Empire is destined to be destroyed." When the Codex merged into my genes, I stood up and looked in the eye Faora. "I plan to make an empire that contains countless planets at my command, I will make the Krypton race the most powerful race in this universe."
...
Faora looking into those bright blue eyes, and could feel this man's determination, feel his ambition, and feel something she had long forgotten. She felt her heartbeat in excitement and hopes for the future of her race.
Faora was disappointed that his ambition was not to be a militaristic empire. Still, when she heard his aspirations, she thought it wouldn't be bad to follow him.
...
"What are you going to do with the races that stand in your way?" Faora asked me while placing her hand on her heart.
I got up from the bed and said: "I will try to negotiate peacefully with them, but if they refuse, I will destroy them, but I hope that doesn't happen. I do not fear war, but war only serves to spend resources. If there is a war, can I count on your help?"
"Yes, Sir," Faora said, bowing.
"Good."
* Booooooom! *
Hearing a loud noise coming from outside. "It looks like the planet has started to collapse."
"Sir, we have found the location of the planet where Jor-El's son was sent." A subordinate said.
"What is the location?"
"Kal-El, the son of Jor-El, was sent towards sector 2814 to a planet called Earth."
"What is the state of evolution on this planet?"
"Sir, this planet is considered 'barbaric' by our standards."
Barbarian state means that the planet has not yet developed for space travel.
I don't understand, why did Jor-El send his son to this useless planet? I don't think that an intelligent man like Jor-El would make a mistake.
"What is the state of the star in this solar system?"
"Sir, this solar system has a young star, a yellow star."
Now I understand why Jor-El sent his son to a barbarian planet. He wants to protect him with his Kryptonian heritage, huh?
In a solar system with a yellow star, Kryptonians acquire superhuman strength in the eyes of the inhabitants of that barbarian planet, Kal-El will be considered a god.
"Follow me," I say to Faora and the subordinate.
Emperor. (MC)
