Synopsis for ""Revelations""

Continued from last issue....

Dust has called in Stomper of the Outriders to account for the groups failure in capturing Dazzler. He explains to Stomper that he and Silence were scientists that developed a powerful drug for the CIA; however, it was used on them and caused horrible results, with Silence developing sound muting powers while Dust's body crumbled, causing his need to transfer his mind into new bodies. The other test subjects soon spawned offspring that would have the drug in their system. This "New Wave" had latent super-human abilities that were awakened by Dazzler's light powers when she publicly revealed her mutant powers. Gathering the New Wave as a cult under Dust and Silence's lead, the group hoped to capture Dazzler and force her to use her light powers to unlock the full effect of the drugs in their systems so that they could be free from it's more lethal aspects. With his body rapidly crumbling, Dust then takes control of Stompers' body and reports back to Silence. The two decide it's time to call in all the New Wave members and capture Dazzler before it's too late.

Dazzler and O.Z. Chase, meanwhile, have been trying to track down the Outriders after they escaped in the previous battle. Finding no leads, the two decide to call it a night before continuing their journey to Los Angeles to deal with Alison's legal problems. That night, Silence uses her powers to contact all the members of the New Wave and gather them together in order to collect Dazzler. The call also reaches one man named Arthur Alan Smith, an inmate in the Chanute, Kansas, penitentiary, an obsessive Dazzler fan who feels compelled to break out of jail and protect her.

As Dazzler is brought to a mansion in Denver by O.Z. Chase, she is met by someone she thinks is her father. However, Carter Blaire has become the latest victim and host body for Dust, and Chase unknowingly hands Dazzler over to her "father" to deal with her legal problems. Finding something fishy, Chase returns to the mansion and finds the decayed corpse of Stomper, realizing that it's a trick.

Dust, meanwhile, has revealed his true identity to Dazzler as well as his intentions for her, and he sets his minion Joshua against her. She is able to use her light powers to defend herself. The battle takes it's toll on the novice Joshua, who passes out from psychic feedback. When Dust demands that she use her light powers on him, Dazzler refuses and gives up.

As Dust attempts to possess her body, he is blasted by O.Z. Chase and seemingly perishes. However, before dying, Dust boasts about his New Wave cult and Dazzler, determined to end this once and for all, impulsively rushes off in a car, leaving Chase behind. Meanwhile, informed of her husband's apparent demise, Silence begins preparing a reception for Dazzler.

This story is concluded next issue....
