How can this have happened?

It was in the box for thousands of years,

building its power, its strength.

It was time.

We should have known.

The evil power will be looking

for the greatest forces in this world.

It will want to destroy all that is good,

all that stands for right.

There is a great being.

His name is Superboy.

He lives on the northern continent.

Ah, the evil power will find this Superboy.

It will destroy him.

Unless you find this boy first.

Give him the secret to defeat the evil power

that has escaped from us.

He will have use this potion.

It contains the blood of our fathers.

Otherwise, he will have no chance

of defeating the evil.

Yes, I will find the boy.

I will not fail.

Remember, you may only guide this Superboy.

He alone will have to fight the power.

Karate lessons for free.

Surprised me, too-- I always figured

Seth thought of you as obnoxious.

Obnoxious?

You know Seth and I have been going out

for a while.

Well, listen, you think what you wanna think,

but a guy knows what a guy knows.

Hey jerk, watch your step.

"Jerk," huh?

Of my name.

You got a problem?

Oh, now we have your sister defending you.

To give these guys some trouble.

Lana, wait--

Of jerks like you pushing people around.

So what are you gonna do about it,

make a phone call?

I have a quarter.

Hey!

Wow, yeah!

All right!

That was phenomenal, that was really great.

Ah, you know, I wish Clark had been here,

like--well, like me, you know?

We are a team, babe.

You and me, like well-oiled gears.

You know, I got the brains,

on the mat.

Nice job, Andy.

Ow.

Very good, Marcia.

It takes many years of practice

to become proficient in the art of karate.

This is your first time at class.

No kidding.

Hi.

I thought you were supposed to flip someone

that sneaks up on you.

Sometimes the best defense is no defense.

Come on, you lovebirds.

That I can participate in, huh?

I really would like to meet him,

you might have about Superboy.

Your rules, remember?

Listen, you wanna talk about Superboy,

you?

Oh, yeah, uh, Clark talks to him, you know,

really?

You spend a lot of time with him?

So tell me, do you ever get in touch

with Superboy?

But yes, once in a while I pick up the phone

and, yes, magic happens.

Yeah, sure.

L-Lana?

Clark gonna show up, or what?

I mean, he said he was gonna try and make it.

Well, you know, I lent him my car,

and if he hurts my caddy--

Excuse me, officer, what happened here?

You better stay back.

You are Clark Kent.

I am looking for someone.

Do you know what did this?

They call superboy.

I know where to find Superboy.

He must meet me tonight,

at the place of many heavens.

Whoa!

Oh...Nice.

Nice for the ego.

This is your first lesson, Andy.

People twice your size.

Class dismissed.

I have to go over with my accountant

here at the studio.

For over three weeks now.

Is something wrong?

Strange lately.

Business is business, Lana.

Have an extra ticket or something inside.

Okay, I was busy tonight anyway!

Flossing my cat or something.

Yeah...Yeah, list-listen, um,

thanks a lot for the lessons, huh?

Sure, no problem.

Entrer.

-Is Clark here? -Uh, no, sorry.

I called the studio, I called his apartment,

all I know is we had something really good

I mean, I finally find a guy who I think

can take my mind off Superboy,

and he turns out just like the rest of them.

Hey.

It will try to find you through people

close to you.

Ah, it also possesses bodies,

and can learn through what they see.

It has no shape, and yet it has all shapes.

It cannot be seen, yet it corrupts

the physical universe.

It is very powerful.

But with this potion, you can win.

But you must use this potion.

Without it, the evil force is all-powerful.

The evil must be put in the box.

How will I find it?

It will find you.

Pray for me,

pray for my wretched, wretched soul.

Ah!

Where is he?

Where is the one they call Superboy?

Ah...Ah!

Andy!

Clark?

Ugh...

Andy, are you all right?

Ugh...Ugh...

That was the weirdest thing I ever saw.

All I saw was-was papers flying all over the place.

And there was this voice.

There was this voice.

It was asking for Superboy.

Lana, I dream about.

Lana--do you know where she is right now?

Yeah, she, um, she went to catch Seth at his studio.

Or something like that and, uh...

Okay, roomie?

Seth?

Is anyone here?

Seth?

You lied to me.

Then when?

I really thought you cared about me.

You gotta believe that.

The being you knew as Seth is no more.

I have just devoured his soul.

Now I am strong enough to rid myself

of this human husk.

Now there is no need to seek Superboy out.

I can sense his presence growing near.

Lana!

You carry the astral box.

I know what you are.

Knowing will not help you.

You are a powerful champion

who fights for good, Superboy.

But you are still no match for me.

Oh yeah?

I am a force even you cannot reckon with.

I am evil incarnate!

Stop it!

I have waited thousands of years for this battle.

No!

Once I destroy you, there will be

no force on earth left to stand in my way.

Evil will run rampant as never before!

Each time I attack, the power of my evil grows,

and the good in you grows weaker.

Ha-ha-ha!

Leave him alone!

This is one battle you cannot win.

Lana!

The potion!

Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha!

Argh!

The evil has been vanquished.

You have saved millions of people

from needless suffering.

Not everyone.

Not even your shoulders can carry the weight

of each life as it crosses your path, Superboy.

You are aware of the terms?

Yes.

Wanted me to return his body to your valley.

Well, here in our realm, life and death

are mere states of mind.

Can he ever return?

As soon as he steps out of the valley, he perishes.

Seth must always remain with us now.

He is the keeper of the box.

Here in this land, they tell me

I can live forever.

I guess I should be happy.

You will be, Lana.

If she had decided to stay,

would you have still brought her?

Yes.

You care for her more than she knows.

Thank you.
