Icy air explodes from the Tower. All the windows in New York shatter at once. Jack and his friends are thrown backward and crash into an ice cream truck. The Tower begins to transform, reaching up like an insect. A beam of light shoots out of it, and the Tower connects with the monster dimension. Jack’s Cosmic Hand twists and tightens around his skin. Strange shapes explode in the air, forming windows into the other dimension.

Quint pushes a water bottle through one of the windows, and it widens into a door. Jack peers in and sees an image of creatures in agony, overseen by monumental, all-knowing bad guys. Jack feels the Cosmic Hand pulsing, and his head buzzes as he tries to understand the vision. He suddenly remembers what Globlet said about her knowledgeable friend Shuggoth. Rykk and his Rifters converge on Jack’s crew from behind, but Jack wants to help his friends find answers. He jumps on his monster dog, Rover, to go through the rip-tear into the monster dimension. Suddenly, a tentacle reaches out and grabs him, dragging him in.
