Chapter Text
Krypton was planet harsher than earth. It's sun was dying so it shined reddish.
There was a little boy who was bred to be a warrior who was destined to protect Krypton and its people. His name was Dru-Zod.
One day, as the train was dismissed, Zod brought the ball and went to the house of his friend, Joe-El and found him feeding a medicine to H'raka the four winged beast of Krypton.
She was lying on the ground because she was sick.
"I thought you were going to play ball this afternoon." said Zod.
"Sorry." said Jor-El "H-raka had a stomachache and I was busy for curing him. I'm almost done." As he fed one more spoonful of medicine to H'raka, Zod threw the ball toward to Jor, and It hit him on his head.
"Are you done?" called Zod.
"Yes, I am" Jor called back. And they began to play ball.
Hour passed. Jor-El and Dru-Zod Laid down on the grass and watched the dying sun above the sky.
When Jor-El gave a sigh, Zod asked "What's wrong, Jor?"
"You know," said Jor-El "The council says our natural energy resources will be exhausted someday. And I'm afraid this means the end of our planet."
"They said I was strongest, so I would be a general." said Zod. "And when I be the general, I'm going to change our fate and protect our race."
Jor-El smiled "And they said I'm going to be scientist. I will find the way to save our race from our dying home. And as for you, Zod, I don't want you to be too much violent. You're strong, but bit too reckless."
"Why would I?" said Zod. "Looks like we have a same purpose anyway." and two boys laughed.
Many years later, Zod became the military leader, the most powerful soldier of Krypton. He was called General Zod.
Meanwhile, Krypton's natural energy resources were exhausted so Kryptonians began to dig the core.
Zod couldn't stand this. He knew he had to stop them. He knew he had to destroy the council and become a leader to prevent the extinction of his race.
One day, Zod called his fellows and some of his soldier.
Sub-commander Faora-Hu-Ul, Nam-Ek, Jax-Ur the scientist, Tor-An, Dev-Em, and the rest of them gathered in front of him.
Zod began his speech. "We Kryptonian lived in harmony for many centuries and fought against many trials. But now, Krypton's end is coming! Because of the corrupted bloodlines and their stupidities! They're afraid of change!
Who will join me? Today, In the name of Rao, our sun god, We will become the sword to punish the fools! restore our glory of the old time! We will destroy the bloodlines who led us to extinction! ! We will move to change our fate!"
"We are Sword of Rao!" shouted Zod.
"We are Sword of Rao!" shouted his fellows.
Just then, Zod remembered the word that Jor-El said. "I don't want you to be too much violent. You're strong, but bit too reckless."
Zod thought for a while, but made a decision right away.
"Sorry, El" murmured Zod. "All of this as it should be."
Thus, the Sword of Rao was born.
They went to Kandor city to attack the council.
