[Lana screaming]

[screaming]

(Lana)

I'm sorry.

I don't know why these things

always happen to me.

I promise, I'll try

and be careful from now on.

(Superboy)

Oh, that's reassuring.

Wait, where you going?

To stop the two guys that

threw you out of the chopper.

[indistinct]

Why don't you get back in the

jeep and head back to school.

Will I see you later?

With your track record,

without a doubt.

Thank you for

saving me, as usual.

- I really gotta go.

- Hm.

[whooshing]

[screeches]

[zapping]

[expl*si*n]

[music continues]

Superboy!

[laughing]

[zapping]

Alright! One more win

for the good guys.

How about losing so this

good guy gets a chance?

Oh, don't get

your hopes up, Clark.

[zapping]

Ooh..

- Do you ever miss?

- Nope.

But I can't miss my next class

It starts in few minutes.

I got a editorial to finish,

I'll walk you halfway.

Oh, okay.

[indistinct chatter]

Oh, wait, I forgot my books.

Well, this is where I have

to split anyway, so..

Ah..

[clears throat]

Well, umthis must be

my lucky day.

I'm sorry, Lana. I-I thought

you were somebody else.

I'll see ya,

I gotta go.

[sighing]

- Hi, Henry.

- Hi.

[ominous music]

[ominous music]

Get away! Stop it.

What are you doing?

[keys clink]

(man on TV) Greenland was the

right answer, you got it in late.

Only Marty scores.

Marty gets his whole $50.

[audience applauding]

Several of rock music's

best known musicians

have changed their names.

I'll give you the real names

of two famous rock musicians.

Pick one and tell me his stage

name. Here they are.

Richard Starkey, George O'Dowd

and Steveland Morris.

- Stephanie?

- George O'Dowd, Boy George.

That's right,

that's Boy George..

[whooshing]

(man on TV)

You're good. Catherine?

(woman on TV) Steveland

Morris is Stevie Wonder.

(man on TV)

Oh, you're all good..

Let go of me.

[alien growling]

Those fraternity guys

are maniacs.

I never thought Lana

would've anything

to do with their dopey stunts.

(man on TV)

Within the past 50 years

a number of famous people have

disappeared and never found.

I'll give you information

of three of them

you tell me their names.

Look at the screen.

The woman aviator lost

in the pacific--

[whooshing]

[instrumental music]

# Here I come

to save the day.. #

[growling]

Somebody help me!

Somebody..

[sobbing]

Wait a minute guys

I don't think she's kiddin'.

Come on, let's see

what's happenin'.

- Get off of me.

- Hey, man.

The girl ain't laughin'.

Why don't you put her down

an take a hike back

to history, alright?

[growling]

Okay, now beat it.

Yeow..

[firing]

[phone ringing]

Hello.

[grunting]

What do you want from me?

Superboy! You will

bring him to me.

Me? I can't. I don't

even know where he is.

I have been watching. When you

are in danger, he comes.

Now you are in danger.

- Hey, Clark.

- T.J., what's going on?

(T.J.) You know, that

picture of me and Fisher

in the Daily Planet?

There was something wrong

with the cropping

or something.

There was a big fight.

- How's your dad?

- No, he's okay.

- It's not like before.

- Well, that's good news, right?

- Yeah.

- I told you, he'll be better.

Yeah, so you'll pick me

at the airport?

Yeah, I'll pick ya at

the airport at, 10 o'clock.

Great. And bring my harem

and the stretched limo, huh?

[laughing]

Yeah.

- Alright, I'll see you later.

- I'll see you then.

Okay, bye.

[woman screaming]

[people screaming]

Hey, Henry, what's going on?

Some weirdo with the biggest

Roman Candle I ever saw.

And he's sh**ting

it at everybody.

He's got Lana.

Do you hear me, Superboy?

Come and face me.

(alien)

Hey-y-y..

[theme music]

I watched you long enough

and now I've come

to challenge you.

There's no need

to shout, mister.

[growling]

(Lana)

Superboy, he'll k*ll you.

Eventually,

I sh**t them all.

Let her go.

She has served

her purposefor now.

Prepare yourself, Superboy.

This body is strong and fast.

It has seen many battles

on many worlds.

But, you are it's

greatest challenge.

Get back, Lana.

This might get nasty.

- But, Super--

- Do it.

Ah..

[sizzling]

No!

[growling]

Away from here.

[theme music]

Did you k*ll her?

[music continues]

Hi-ya!

Ah!

Ah!

[zapping]

[groans]

Ow!

(alien)

Ow!

You are indeed

a great warrior.

Your body's vast powers

have served you well.

If only they were mine.

[siren blaring]

[car door opening]

No pulse.

(male #1)

She's dead too.

[sighs]

She's gone. There's

nothing you can do.

[sighs]

No.

[dramatic music]

[heart thumping]

Her heartbeat,

it's faint, but it's there.

(male #1)

Bring the ambulance.

[music continues]

[ominous music]

[monitor beeping]

(Clark)

How is she?

(female #1)

I don't know yet.

We're still waiting

for the test results.

[beeping continues]

Clark, our nurses are

monitoring her condition.

Any irregularities,

they'll pick up.

Sitting at her bedside

isn't going to do

either of you any good.

You could probably

use some sleep.

I couldn't sleep if I wanted to.

What about that thing?

Did Superboy k*ll it?

Well, it's certainly dead

but I hardly think Superboy's

the one who k*lled it.

What do you mean?

It's no life form

we've everencountered.

One thing we know for sure..

Whatever this creature was,

it's been dead for years.

How can that be?

I watched Superboy fight it.

The one thing

it wasn't was dead.

I know, that's what

has us stumped.

The body itself seems

perfectly preserved.

We even extracted some

fluid from it, a chemical.

Similar to formaldehyde.

Embalming fluid?

That doesn't make any sense.

I know. They're waiting for me

in surgery, Clark.

I have to run. I'll come by

and check on her.

[sighs]

[beeping continues]

I'm supposed to be

doing some good here.

Helping people, not

endangering the ones I love.

Especially you.

[instrumental music]

[sighs]

When we were

kids in Smallville

you were like my

little sister.

You were always there for me.

And I was always there

when you needed me.

Until today.

I hate seeing you like this.

[music continues]

So helpless.

There's things,

that if I told you

I know that you

would understand.

But there's one secret

that will always keep us apart.

A secret that I can only

tell you in my dreams.

Why does it

have to be so hard?

When I'm Clark, you're like

my little sister.

But when I'm Superboy..

you're the woman I love.

Lana?

Lana?

[growling]

Lana, what are you doing?

[dramatic music]

[glass shattering]

You, what have you

done to her?

(alien) This body is

weak. Useless to me.

It brings me no

closer to my goal.

If I so desire..

I'd destroy your soul.

[music continues]

But you are

what I came for.

I can't fight you.

Not Lana.

This body has greater

power than I thought.

Through her,

I can get to you.

Surrender yourself,

and the girl will live.

- Refuse me, and I'll--

- No!

You destroyed the body

that I cherished the most.

And, now I'll destroy the body

that you cherish the most.

No, don't hurt her!

I'll do what you want.

I want to fight

on my terms.

Release her,

and you got your way.

[growling]

[ominous music]

[whooshing]

[beeping continues]

[theme music]

[whooshing]

[sizzling]

[ominous music]

(alien) It's useless

to resist me, Superboy.

They all tried.

The ones unconscious,

I conquered them from within

preserving their bodies

and adding them to my army.

You k*lled them just to

use them to k*ll others, why?

Why? For the power!

I've traversed the cosmos

searching for the mightiest

beings in greed.

Each one I conquered

was stronger than the last.

Now, the ultimate

is within my grasp.

You!

Sorry, but this body's not big

enough for the two of us.

You fool. You are a fighting

machine of unparallel power.

But, you squander

that power by helping others.

I envy your body, but have

only been temperate around you.

Such power is wasted on you.

But, under my control,

it'll conquer worlds.

I've never k*lled anyone,

and nothing can make me.

You have no choice.

I outnumber you three to one.

Three of the greatest

warriors of the galaxy.

I can beat anybody,

or all of them.

[sizzling]

[music continues]

Or none of them.

[expl*si*n]

(alien) You've destroyed

everything precious to me.

All that I have left,

is my revenge.

Now, I must return to your world

and take your Lana from you.

(Superboy)

No.

[theme music]

[whooshing]

Give up, Superboy.

It's only a matter of time.

And since you can't k*ll me

I'll have all the

time in the world.

She will be mine,

for within her

I will watch as

you die in despair.

No.

[sizzling]

[inhaling]

[exhaling]

[whooshing]

[monitor beeping]

[sighs]

[bed whirring]

Hello, Clark.

Oh, sorry, ha.

You look much better.

I feel better.

Tired, but better.

How long have I been out?

Oh, what happened

to that monster?

Well, there's a rumor that,

Superboy has it under control.

You know..

I had the strangest

dream about you two.

That Superboy was you and--

And I was Superboy?

That's good.

Dream on, Lana, dream on.

[sighs]

Stay cool, man.
