Henry was on a date with Kaelia.
Not that he was interested in her in that way, he didn't see her like that.
They spent some time together, walking around and seeing the sights of the city.
Far away, a fleet of spaceships was heading toward their location.
The fleet was following the trail of a creature.
(Inside a large spaceship)
"Sir, we've been tracking it for days... We haven't found anything yet, but the Doomsday heat sensors have picked up a powerful energy wave coming from Nuvaar. Could it be him?" Jax-Ur said, glancing at a giant monitor in his ship.
"I want you to keep searching at all costs. We must not lose hope. One day, we'll leave this dimension, and we'll finally rebuild Krypton. Those damn Viltrumites will pay for what they did to us," Emperor Zod, the supreme leader of the Phantom Zone, replied.
"But, sir... Doomsday is unstable. We don't know if the neural collar will be able to control him... I recommend returning him to base, injecting more Kryptonite, and deactivating him for a while. We don't know if he'll lose control like last time," Jax-Ur, Zod's loyal scientist, said.
"I want you to continue searching," Zod commanded, uninterested in the consequences.
"But, sir... What about the people?" Jax-Ur questioned.
Zod yelled, "Do as I ordered!"
Jax-Ur, hearing this, knelt before Zod's monitor.
"Yes, my lord. Is there anything else, my lord?" Jax-Ur asked.
"Tell Faora to return... I want to see her," Zod replied.
"Sir... My queen doesn't like to be disturbed when she leaves..." Jax-Ur said.
"Do it. If she doesn't like it, tell her I ordered it," Zod commanded.
"Yes, my lord," Jax-Ur replied.
After saying that, Jax-Ur turned off the monitor. He stood up and told a few nearby guards, "Prepare a ship for me. I'm going to him."
"Yes, sir," the soldiers responded.

Zod's fleet of hundreds of spaceships flew toward Nuvaar, with a larger ship leading the squadron.
Jax took a smaller ship and made his way toward the larger one.
He entered and walked down the hallways.
He arrived at a room.
Inside the room, there was a creature over 6 and a half feet tall, with large, irregular bones protruding from its body and gray skin.
It had an animalistic face—its monstrous expression was marked by glowing red eyes. It had a large jaw and sharp teeth, making it look even more threatening.
The creature was unconscious, wearing a neural collar that controlled its body. Even so, it seemed fierce and intimidating.
The room was completely made of Kryptonite to keep the creature from escaping.
The creature was also shackled with thick Kryptonite chains.
Jax approached his perfect creation. He had made Doomsday.
"How is he? Is it working?" Jax asked, looking at the scientists near him.
"He's unstable... but we don't know if we can control him for much longer. His Kryptonite reserves are running low, sir... What are your orders?" one of Jax's scientists said.
"General's orders... release him," Jax replied.
"But, sir?" the scientist questioned.
"Do it," Jax said.
"Yes, sir," the scientist said, accepting the risk despite the dangers.

(Nuvaar)
Henry had been having a good time with Kaelia.
They decided to go out for some food.
While enjoying her company, Henry felt something strange.
He sensed something moving toward him very quickly.
Henry didn't know what it was or what it wanted, but he felt a danger like nothing he had ever felt before.
Henry slipped his hands into his pockets and pulled out two items he had with him.
One was a tracker that could locate descendants of the El family, meaning relatives of Henry.
He also pulled out one of the bracelets he would use to leave the Phantom Zone. He had brought two with him—one for himself and one for his sister. Each bracelet could open a temporary portal to escape the Phantom Zone.
Henry didn't give her both. He trusted Kaelia, but not enough to hand over his ticket home.
He pulled out these items and looked at Kaelia, who was standing beside him.
Kaelia noticed this and looked at him.
Henry had a strange expression on his face. He seemed worried, something Kaelia hadn't seen in him until now.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Kaelia asked, confused.
Henry looked at her, took her hand, and placed the items in her hand.
"This is a bracelet that opens a portal to my dimension... I want you to keep it and don't let anyone take it. Protect this for me... and this is a tracker... This tracker will allow you to find my sister... I found her for me and took her out of here," Henry said, looking at her.
"But why... why are you telling me this?" Kaelia asked, still confused.
"Something is coming here, and it's moving very fast... It will be here in about four minutes," Henry said.
"What's coming here? And why are you acting like this? You're scaring me..." Kaelia said.
Henry pulled his hand away from hers and said, "Go... talk to the others, find my sister..."
"I'm not going without you... Come with me," Kaelia insisted.
"I can't... That thing is coming after me... It's coming for me..." Henry replied.
Henry released her hand and floated into the air.
"Go, hurry... It's not safe here. Get as far as you can," Henry said as he flew off into the distance.
After saying that, Henry shifted his focus.
He clenched his fists. Whatever was coming, he would fight with courage.
Kaelia, still on the ground, did as Henry told her. She ran as far as she could, heading back to the tavern where her group was to warn them.
As she ran, she began to hear a loud noise.
In fact, everyone in the city heard it. Something was tearing through everything in its path.
The thing was plowing through mountains, hills, and even buildings.
