Synopsis for "Man of Steel, Part 3"

Rogol Zaar crash-lands into the Arctic Circle, in the vicinity of the Fortress of Solitude. He storms into the place, makes short work of Kelex -who can't identiy his alien species- and then spots the Bottle City of Kandor.

Meanwhile on Metropolis, another building has burned down. Deputy Fire chief Melody Moore is investigating the scorched place when she's greeted by Superman. The Man of Steel explains he's very concerned about the rash of fires so he's asked a friend of his looking into the case: Batman. Superman is barely through the introductions when his super-hearing hears his Fortress' alarm and he bolts out of the building.

Superman flies his way to his Fortress as fast as possible and finds the place has been demolished and burned down. He looks around, taking in the destruction of Krypton's legacy and his horror grows when he sees Kandor. Supergirl right then flies into the place, alerted by Kelex's alarm, and asks who destroyed the Fortress. Her cousin's first instinct is to protect her by lying, but he collapses on his knees, bursts into tears and tells her to look to Kandor. Kara sees the Bottle City smashed down and bloodied and bursts into tears, too.

Both cousins head off to look for a trail. As they search their surroundings via telescopic vision, Kal-El thinks about the last time he saw his family when an insectoid ship vessel teleported in their kitchen. Kara asks who knows about his Fortress and is powerful enough to destroy it. She also asks whether Lois and Jon are fine. Superman tells her to head to National City, ensure her family and friends are safe and meet him back on Metropolis.

Following the trespasser's trail, Superman flies back to Metropolis. Guessing the intruder knows his secret identity, Superman flies over the city, checking everybody is fine. Suddenly he's blasted down over and again, and realizes his enemy wants a big, public fight. After several repeated blasts, Superman falls down but he's caught by a returning Supergirl.

Superman and Supergirl spot Rogol Zaar waiting on a rooftop and streak towards him.
