When Superman returns to New Krypton, his aunt tells him that he may choose his place in Kryptonian society as a member of any of the guilds. Accompanied by labor guild member Tyr-Van, Superman sets off to explore New Krypton and consider his choice. When Tyr notices that they are being followed by a pair of Zod's men, Superman decides it is time to talk with the General. In the end, Superman decides that the Kryptonian guild system is wrong and refuses to choose one, but Alura informs him that one will then be chosen for him, and Superman finds himself working for Zod in the military guild.

Zod allows Kal-El thirty minutes to negotiate with the labor guild hostage-takers. When Alura finds their leader Tam-Or's demands reasonable and acceptable, the hostages are released. Commander Gor, not satisfied with the outcome, tries to assassinate Tam-Or, but Supergirl saves his life. Humiliated by Kal-El's actions, Gor challenges Superman to a physical duel. But Kal-El teaches Gor that though he now has the same super-powers as Superman, he doesn't have Superman's experience with them. Just as Superman puts down Gor, New Krypton receives a visit from the Green Lantern Corps.
