Chapter 7 by Zeebop

Can Zod escape from Faora and Ursa's clutches?

Zod Escapes

"Ultraviolet kryptonite!" Zod shouted, and raised his middle finger in the universal greeting.

Instantly, Ursa collapsed, all higher motor functions completely removed, rendering her paralyzed. Zod watched with satisfaction as the traitor fell on her face in the heavy lead suit, and lay still. With her down, he began to work at hs bonds. It was stupid of Ursa and Faora to think that the mighty Zod had not foreseen the possibility of their betrayal—nor planned countermeasures. The nanites he had infected them with long ago had programmed their neural pathways to respond to certain verbal and visual stimuli. Utterly untraceable, undetectable, and thus insurmountable.

With a click, the General's cuff released, and moments later the male Kryptonian was free...and standing over his prostrate and powerless female cohort. His eyes roamed over her curves, evident even beneath the heavy lead suit. In truth, he had refrained from molesting his underlings because they served him willingly, but if they were going to defy his commands in this way...

He hauled her limp body up onto the table that Zod himself had just escaped from, not even bothering with the constraints. Until he gave the code phrase to release her paralysis, Ursa was helpless and no threat to him.

"If you are so eager to bear the seed of Zod...then perhaps later, I will grant you this boon," he smiled cruelly as he ran a hand over the bound woman's chest, squeezing the lead-lined lump that was her left breast. While Ursa could not move a muscle, she could hear and understand him perfectly. "And my sons will rule New Krypton by my side! Yet first..."

Zod knew he would need to act swiftly and confront Faora...and possess every advantage for when he brought her low. Since she would not serve him willingly as his soldier, she too might be a fit broodcow. Yet while the command override should work on Faora, she was trained in combat—much more dangerous than Ursa.

So General Zod turned to the wavelength generator, and began to make certain adjustments.
