"Okay. If I remember the plot of The Tommyknockers correctly, we need to stay away from the spaceship so we don't get turned into aliens. We need to find the novel, somehow get close to the spaceship, and send the aliens and their spaceship back into the world of paper and ink", I explained.

"But what if some of those aliens are actually our friends?", Rarity asked.

"We're in a barren landscape", I replied. "Remember, stay away from the spaceship until we find the novel."

"You mean that novel?", Richie asked. I followed his gaze. The novel was about five feet away from the spaceship.

"Oh, what the fuck? Seriously?", I said. "Rarity, you'll need to use your powers to protect us while we get the novel."

"Right", Rarity said. She activated her geode, giving us protection.

"Okay, Rich. Drive towards the spaceship. Rarity, when we're close enough, use your Electrical Whip to grab the novel", I said.

"Oh, shit", Richie said.

"What?", I asked.

"Look. That alien spotted us. We need to get that novel quickly", Richie said. Sure enough, an alien was looking directly at us.

"Uh, we- we come in peace! Just let us take the novel, and we'll leave. Please?", I said. Rarity and Richie facepalmed themselves. "These guys definitely aren't the same aliens from the Alien franchise", I whispered under my breath. More aliens started to appear. Eventually, we were surrounded. "Okay, this wasn't my brightest idea. New plan: fight!", I said. Rarity deactivated her geode, and we climbed out of the truck with our weapons at the ready. "Stay back! You are trespassing on the wrong planet! Who sent you here?", I shouted. An alien walked up to us and spoke in an unknown, possibly alien, language.

"I can translate. He said, 'Guy with white beard and red cloak sent us here to claim world. We wish to go home, but cloaked person will kill us if we retreat.'", Richie said.

"Oh, man. Do you have a boss we could talk to?", I asked. The alien nodded.

"Come", he said.

Inside the spaceship, Rarity, Richie, and I stood in front of the Queen Tommyknocker. "Welcome. My name is Alan Kubicz. The white girl is Rarity, and the other boy is Richie Tozier. One of your subjects told me that your kind has been ordered by the Crimson King to claim my planet, and that your kind will be brought to extinction if you fail. Is this correct?", I asked.

"Yes, Alan. Our home planet is Altair 4. Can you somehow take us there without any problems?", the Queen asked.

"Yes, but I need the novel", I explained.

"Then, please, bring us back to our planet", the Queen said.

Outside, I opened up the novel. "Wróć do świata papieru i atramentu! (Return to the world of paper and ink!)", I shouted. The entire spaceship started to emanate a green glow. It rose higher into the air, and started to transform into ink. The ink swirled itself back into the novel and disappeared. I closed the novel and used my glasses to create a fire that burnt the novel. The Tommyknockers had returned to their homeworld, and we vanquished another novel. "Two down. I don't know how many more monsters the Crimson King unleashed, but we better continue looking for the Crimson King's lair. If the Crimson King is the one behind all of this, then we need to go into the lion's den. We have to destroy the Crimson King", I explained.

"Who is the Crimson King, anyways?", Rarity asked.

"The Crimson King is an ancient being from long ago. He is the main antagonist for the Dark Tower book series, Insomnia, and Black House. He is the biggest threat to the Macroverse, my universe. If he is not stopped soon, then this universe and every other universe will plunge into ultimate chaos. He is the father of It, an other-worldly spider-like creature. We need to put an end to this invasion, or else the end will be upon us", Richie explained.

"Richie's right. The Crimson King will destroy us all if we can't destroy him first. We must sent him back to the world of paper and ink", I explained.

"But which novel do we use? There's eight Dark Tower novels, not to mention that he appeared in Black House and Insomnia!", Richie said.

"I've been thinking about that. We'll use Insomnia. The novel takes place in Derry, Maine, where you live. If we can send him back to the world of paper and ink, we can stop this madness", I explained.

"Guys, I think I know where we need to go next. Some kind of crazy psychopathic guy wielding an axe is somewhere in the vicinity! I think it's Jack Torrance!", Rarity shouted from the driver's seat.

"Let me see. Hmmm... yep, it's Jack Torrance, all right. He's got some freeze burns, which give him away. In the novel and both film adaptations, Jack got killed in a hedge maze while it was snowing outside. He was trying to kill his wife and child. He froze to death. Now, we need to find a copy of The Shining so we can send Jack back to the world of paper and ink", I explained.

"Uh, he's coming towards us. We should probably get the hell out of here!", Rarity said.

"Oh, fuck!", I shouted. Richie and I climbed into the truck, and the three of us drove off, leaving the psychopath in the dust. "Hang on, I'm sitting on something", I said. Coincidentally, I was sitting on a copy of "The Shining". I opened the book. "Gå tilbake til verden av papir og blekk! (Return to the world of paper and ink!)", I shouted. The crazed psychopath turned into ink and went back into the novel. Just like before, I used my glasses to create a fire that burnt the novel. "Where are these novels coming from?", I asked.

"Let's just get out of here", Rarity said.

"Agreed", I said.
