Story Title: The Jewels Of Doom
Summary:
Dazzler is at the Fantastic Four's headquarters. Reed Richards is measuring Alison's abilities and is impressed. Thing questions Dazzler's ability to defeat anyone with just light & Dazzler hits him with a burst, upsetting his equilibrium & causing him to drop a big piece of machinery on his own foot!
The Human Torch tries to playfully hit Dazzler with some harmless Flare Balls but Alison manages to get her hands on a nearby fire extinguisher and douse Johnny.
Everyone's impressed. Then Johnny spots a newspaper headline about the U.N. displaying Dr. Doom's family gems. After explaining to Dazzler about the takeover of Doom's Latverian throne by Prince Zorba, Alison heads back to her manager's office.
At the U.N., the Latverian Embassador, Dr. Arturo Frazen, gazes longingly at the family gems. One in particular.
The Merlin Stone!
Dazzler goes to her manager's office, where he introduces her to her new field rep, Lancelot Steele, and tells her she will be doing a UNICEF benefit concert at the United Nations. She's mad at not making any money from it, but such is the life of a star.
She then visits with her Dad to try and make up, but he still has nothing to do with it if she's not willing to give up her singing career for a career in law.
Doom learns of the Jewel display and the fact that the Merlin Stone is part of it and heads off to the U.N. while Frazen plans on stealing the stone while security is busy with crowd control for the concert.
The day of the concert arrives and Steele is busy organizing Alison's performance. Frazen puts a group of thugs disguised as punk rockers backstage while he goes after the Merlin Stone.
Steele spots the thugs and confronts 'em, but there are too many and when Dazzler hears him yelling, she rushes to his rescue!
The concert starts, drowning out the struggle backstage. Dazzler subdues the thugs and learns from Steele that they were after the jewels. She rushes to the jewel exhibit!
Doom has reached the exhibit just before Frazen and takes him out. Dazzler blinds the other thugs at the door and enters the exhibit only to be zapped by Doom.
Harry Osgood learns that Dazzler is nowhere to be found & changes the concert lineup in anger. The Human Torch is in the audience wanting to surprise Dazzler with his presence.
Doom helps Dazzler up, not wishing to involve "civilians" in his business, but Alison convinces him to tell her what's going on.
He tells her of the Merlin Stones and their ability to make their owner invincible. He is after this one and then a second one he previously owned, thereby making it easier to find the rest.
Dazzler decides to stop him from this madness & ATTACKS!
She dodges Doom's attacks & manages to get a good kick to his chest, bringing him to his knees for a moment. She then concentrates a single laser light blast into one of the gems causing a ricochet effect among all the reflective surfaces in the room!
Doom is struck hard in the back but recovers quickly. Dazzler is exhausted and Doom sends an electric jolt through the floor, striking Dazzler unconscious. He then takes the Merlin Stone & leaves with the unconscious Dazzler, intending to use her to get the second stone.
Continued in #4...
PERSONAL COMMENTS:
It's nice to see fellow peers doing what they can to help Alison. Surround yourself with positive friends & you can't go wrong!
Don't ever let an important event in life keep you from doing what's right. In the end, you will be glad you did the right thing!
