Codex

"I can't believe we are doing this" Zor-El said with a heavy heart

He knew that these last few hours may just be the last time he saw his daughter or even any of his family members ever again

"I know but we can't rest now, We aren't done. The Eradicator's hand is still upon our children, we have to remove it" Jor-El said still with a serious look on his face, from his expression alone, Zor-El could tell he was even more worried than him but it wasn't because of the planet's destruction this time.

  In the past war that nearly destroyed the Kryptonian society, Many super weapons had been created and amongst them were the greatest weapons known to Kryptonian kind.

The Eradicator and the Destroyer.

These two weapons do just as their names implied, the destroyer was created to destroy the planet and it would have achieved its aim if it was stopped or so they thought while the Eradicator was created to eradicate races with the ability to manipulate genes as easily as breathing.

  The Destroyer was thought to have been stopped but contrary to their expectations, they had just slowed the device's rate of destroying the planet to the extent of it being nearly non-existent but it was still present  as Jor-El had found out and tried to warn his people about thus the planet had only a day to exist before it is blown up

  While for the Eradicator, it altered the genes of the Kryptonians to become tied to the planet in simpler terms, he tied the whole race to the planet so when the planet ceased to exist, the race too stopped existing.

  Minutes later, the brothers left the research facility as they both returned to their homes. Returning home, Jor-El immediately told his wife about his success and convinced her to follow him as he grabbed the child and found his way to his private research lab.

"What are we doing here, Jor-El are you sure this is safe, what if, someone walks in and sees them" Lara asked worriedly

"Don't worry Lara, the only other person who has access to this place is Zor-El, being a high-ranking scientist does come with its perks" Jor-El replies with a smile to make his wife feel at ease

   A few minutes later, Zor-El entered the lab with his own family, a blonde with beauty on par with Lara's and standing beside her was a small girl no older than 12 who was nearly an exact carbon copy of her mother.

"Good you're here, now let's begin," Jor-El said as he laid the babies onto a special platform made for them

"This has never been tried before, Jor-El, how do you intend to achieve this" Alura asked

"First we have four of Krypton's greatest minds here in one room and second, it has, why do you think our troops can leave the planet for years on end without dying, the council has found out ways to relieve us of The Eradicator's curse but choose not to as it allows a better control on the  society" Jor-El explained as multiple files appeared out of thin air

"What? Then that makes things a lot easier" Zor-El said after reading the files then got ready to start their new project

  Minutes into their stay in the lab, the four had already managed to remove the Eradicator's hold on Zor-El's daughter, Kara Zor-El 

"Wow, I never thought this..woah!" Lara shouted as the whole lab shook

"We don't have much time" Alura said as they all focused on trying to do the same for the twins

  Some minutes later, the four could be seen sitting or standing in the lab with a defeated look on their faces

"Why wouldn't this work!" Jor-El shouted in frustration

  The process didn't work for the twins, it had worked on Kara but couldn't work on them no matter what they tried

"Is this because Kara was destined to be a soldier?" Zor-El asked

"Well it doesn't matter, if it doesn't work on natural borns then there is another way of getting it done," Jor-El said in a determined tone as he stood up but as he stood up, everyone's expression changed, they knew what he meant and knew the danger it brings

"No, you are not a soldier and that comes with a lot of risks" Lara said trying to stop him

"What could I lose, Lara, the planet is going to kill us all anyway. Please just get the children to the hanger, I will meet you there, I think the quake alarms have already been issued" Jor-El said as he left the room

   Jor-El may have not been born a soldier but he currently had the courage of one. He knew that this new task could mean his death but he was ready to try anyway after all it meant that his children would survive. He planned to steal the Codex.

   The Codex was an ancient artefact stored at the centre of the Genesis chamber, it could be the databank for all the beings born in the chamber. It held thousands of years of genetic information which helped the Kryptonians achieve the aim of genetically engineering children.

It allowed them to select a career path for a child and modify the child to suit that path and Now Jor-El planned to use that artifact to free his children from the hands of the Eradicator

  Fusing the codes to them would automatically free them from the curse and at the same time, it would grant them an advantage in the fact that they would be the best of all kryptonians in existence.

  While Jor-El went on his suicidal mission, Zor-El led the others to the hanger which held three small spacecrafts.

"Wait, are we just sending our kids out there, where are we sending them" Alura asked when she finally found an error in their plan

"I honestly don't know but we can choose the best planets while we wait for Jor-El" Zor-El replied as they immediately went to work searching for planets that weren't too advanced or xenophobic and had lifeforms that at least looked like them
