The 2nd Meteor Shower

The 2005 meteor shower was the second shower of meteor rocks from the exploded planet Krypton that devastated Smallville. The meteor shower hid the arrival of Brainiac's spaceship, which held Brainiac and the Disciples of Zod.

The Events of the Meteor Shower
Right after Clark receives his diploma, military vehicles pull up, interrupting the ceremony and announcing a meteor shower will hit Smallville in three hours. Clark urges Chloe and Lois to escape Smallville.

Lex offers Clark and his parents safe passage out on the LuthorCorp jet, but Clark rejects the offer. He goes to see Jor-El to ask him what he has done. Jor-El says that Clark has caused this himself because he did not collect the Stones of Power, and today he will witness the consequences for denying his heritage. He tells him that there is nothing that he can to do to prevent it from happening. Human blood has been spilled on one of the stones, causing a second meteor shower and a dark force from Krypton to come to Earth. If he does not unite the Stones at once, the Earth will be destroyed, and not even Clark will survive. The fate of the world is in his hands.

Clark returns to the Kent Farm where his parents are loading the car. He reluctantly tells them that he cannot go with them and he must unite the Stones. They are fearful because the last meteor shower was full of kryptonite and Clark could be killed. Sounding not very confident, Clark insists that he is the only one who can prevent the Earth's destruction. Finally, Jonathan states that all of Clark's trials have prepared him for this moment and tells Clark to go, and make them proud.

Clark finds Lana waiting for him in the barn. She gives him the Crystal of Air because she thinks that it is meant for him. They say they love each other and kiss, in case they never see each other again. She returns to the Luthor Mansion and leaves Chloe a short voice mail before Lex takes her phone and saying that she agreed not to contact anyone. When Lex asks Lana for the stone, she simply says it is safe.

Having apparently survived his fall into a river, Jason Teague stops Clark's parents as they are leaving the farm. Bloody and pointing a shotgun at them, he demands they tell him where Clark is.

Lois and Chloe are stuck in traffic, so they hatch a plan in which Lois distracts the guard at the roadblock long enough to let Chloe sneak by him to get to the Luthor Mansion and look for Lana.

Lex returns to the Mansion with Lionel waiting for him. They argue over the whereabouts of the Crystal of Water. When Clark sets the second stone in the altar, he hears a piercing sound which alerts him to the location of the final stone - in Lionel's pocket.

The stone emits a ray of energy, and Lionel is shocked into catatonia and Lex is knocked back against the wall. Unconcerned, Lex simply leaves his manservant to deal with Lionel after saying that he has become the son Lionel always wanted and puts the stone in his vault.

Clark superspeeds to the Mansion and flings open the vault, but it is full of kryptonite artifacts. He grabs the Stone right before he collapses.

As Lana boards the helicopter, Lex insists again that she give him the stone. She finally says she doesn't have it, angering him. Lana realizes that he is not interested in her safety and angrily boards the helicopter. Lex returns to the mansion.

Chloe finds Clark unconscious and drags him away. Lex walks in and finds Chloe, but Clark speeds out before Lex can see him. Lex demands Chloe to tell him why she is there and she insists that she does not know what happened. He drags her to the cave, demanding answers.

Jason ties Jonathan and Martha up and they try to fight back, but after a scuffle he manages to regain control.

The meteors hit all over Smallville. Lois is stuck in traffic and cannot get out before the meteors hit. She gets out of Chloe's car and escapes to higher ground. In tears, she watches as Smallville lays in ruins.. The Kent house is hit by a meteor with Jason, Jonathan, and Martha inside it. During the showers, Clark Kent saves a boy named Henry at the last second, protecting the boy by using his body as a shield.

Lionel lies in a catatonic state at the mansion with Kryptonian symbols running in his brain. Lana's helicopter is hit by a meteor and crashes to the ground. Badly injured, she crawls to the edge of a crater containing a giant black spaceship.

Lex and Chloe see the light coming from the hidden chamber in the Kawatche Caves. Chloe pushes him against the cave wall from behind and he falls down, but she fails to knock him out. Clark combines all the Stones and the Crystal of Knowledge is created. Clark grabs the Crystal and is transported to the Arctic with Chloe unknowingly coming with him. He looks around the vast arctic landscape and in anger and confusion throws the Crystal. Lana sees two Kryptonians come out of the spaceship. They blast all the police cars around them with heat vision. Lex wakes up in the cave and finds the key in the Inner Chamber of the Caves. The Disciples super-speed into the cave and take the key from Lex, saying they are searching for Kal-El. When they determine that he is not Kal-El as Lex bleeds, they leave abruptly. Speeding back into town in his car, Lex almost hits Lana, who is wandering around dazed in the middle of the road. She tells Lex that she saw a spaceship and he tells her that she is delusional, and she faints. He sends Lana back to the Luthor mansion, locates the ship, and stores it in Warehouse 15.
