As Superman encounters his mother Lara Van-El and ponders Jor-El's conflict as he learns he will be a father in the same period he discovered that Krypton is doomed, Superboy is battling the Eradicator to save the Kara of the past. Meanwhile, present day Kara is further in one of her planet's most savage periods defeating clones and being confronted by H'El. Both believe the other betrayed him/her. Yet, Kara must concentrate on her mission to stop H'El. At the same time, a time portal opens for Superboy. However, as the Boy of Steel inches closer to it, the Eradicator attacks again. Superboy kicks him into the gateway, which leads to Smallville, Kansas. He and past Kara say their goodbyes, but as H'El is fighting present day Kara, a younger version of the villain strikes Superboy simultaneously. With two H'Els existing in two points in Krypton's history, and an unseen being talking to Superman, it looks like the Superfamily is going to have a tough time accomplishing their missions. Both H'Els are charging at their respective targets, but the leader of the clone tribe intervenes with the one trying to get present day Kara. The chief will not permit anyone who defeated him, including the Maid of Might, to be killed by anyone. H'El is not too happy with the interruption, and he intends to obliterate the army of clones. Only Kara Zor-El, with spear in hand, can prevent this from happening as she screams "For Krypton!" while preparing to defend herself against her former love H'El.
