I love John Carpenter's 1982 film, The Thing. So I decided to mix Class 3-E, Korosensei, and this film into one.

In my version of a "sequel", the class goes on a lengthy field-trip to a Japanese research station near Antarctica. While there, a nearby Russian team alerts them that they require medical assistance after happening on a certain incident…

This will be in script form.

Chapter 1: Antarctic Time

FADE IN
EXT. US ANTARCTIC BASE OUTPOST 31 NIGHT
A strong snow blizzard is blowing around several burnt out buildings. Everything looks dead. Smoke still rises from some buildings. In the middle of the camp are a few snow covered damaged helicopters and vehicles.

A snow vehicle drives past a sign that reads UNITED STATES NATIONAL SCIENCE INSTITUTE STATION 4 and pulls up. The side of the snow vehicle reads Росси́йская Федера́ция followed by a Russian flag.

The front seat occupants stare at the wreckage. Two Russians disembark from the rear and begin searching the camp. All they find are burnt out buildings, with the recreation room having a corner only partially damaged.

INT. BURNT OUT MEDICAL ROOM NIGHT
The Russians search the room but it is very badly damaged. They pick up some damaged surgical tools and continue.

INT. BURNT OUT RECREATION ROOM NIGHT
Part of the room has not been totally destroyed. On a table lie various items, including a couple of books and a packet of cigarettes, whose contents have been spilled out. One Russian takes them and continues searching.

EXT. OUTSIDE THE BASE NIGHT
The search leads them outside. One goes back to the vehicle and speaks to a tall man – around 6ft 5in – Ivan Kiernov. Another keeps looking outside.

1st RUSSIAN
(Speaking Russian)
Medical room is destroyed, sir. Just like the rest of the base. This is the only salvage.

Russian passes the tools, books and cigarettes to the officer.

KIERNOV
No medical facilities then?

1st RUSSIAN
That's all that's left.

2nd RUSSIAN
Over here.

1st Russian runs over to where there are two mounds in the snow.

2nd RUSSIAN
They're alive. Quick. Get them in.

Each Russian lifts a mound out of the snow. One is MacReady – around 30 heavily bearded with long hair - the other is Childs – around 30 tall, black and strongly built - and carry them to the snow vehicle. Although both are well wrapped up, they are unconscious and look older through being frostbitten in the face for a while.

KIERNOV
Get them in. Mind the commander.

MacReady and Childs are loaded back into the snow vehicle and are wrapped in silver foil and blankets. They are laid next to Russian commander whose face is covered with medical dressings.

KIERNOV
Call Babushka, tell them to be ready to move.

The vehicle starts up and heads away from the remains of Outpost 31. The driver repeatedly barks orders into a two-way radio.

OTHER VOICE ON RADIO
In Russian
Babushka here. Over.

KIERNOV
Babushka. Kiernov here. Be prepared to move very soon. Rendezvous at point 12. Be prepared for four extra passengers. Three are wounded. We're looking for medical facilities. Over

OTHER VOICE ON RADIO
Who is the forth passenger? Over

KIERNOV
Me. Over

OTHER VOICE ON RADIO
What's our destination? Over

KIERNOV
Taking the radio microphone
South Georgia. Wait until we arrive before making radio contact as soon as possible.

The snow vehicle speeds through the blizzard crossing the Antarctic. Inside, Kiernov shows concern for his injured commander. Both MacReady and Childs are still unconscious.

EXT. ANTARCTIC DAWN BREAKING
The Snow vehicle approaches the coast. Ahead is the Antarctic ocean, in which sits a Russian Oscar Class submarine. A boat is on the shore. The Russians take the three men out of the vehicle and into the boat. Kiernov and two other Russians get in with them and set off for the submarine.

INT. RUSSIAN SUBMARINE. DAWN BREAKING
In a very cramped environment, MacReady and Childs have been laid in separate small cabins. The wounded Commander is in the Captain's cabin, with a crewman sat in attendance. Kiernov is stood in the communications area with the Submarine captain, who is on the radio.

CAPTAIN
(In English)
This is Russian Research Station Novgorod calling South Georgia. Please respond, we have an emergency. This is Russian Station Research station Novgorod.

EXT. GRYTVIKEN, SOUTH GEORGIA DAWN BREAKING
Grytviken - a small cluster of wooden houses and a disused whaling station. Around, the land is covered in snow and ice but there is also clear hard ground. Several hundred yards away there are large swathes of tough grass, partially covered in snow.

Once occupied by the British Army during the Falklands War in the 80's, control was given to the Japanese for research.

Several hundred yards from Grytviken on higher ground overlooking the sea is Toshika - a green metallic hut. It is long, with two doors and a couple of windows with external metal covers. There are four rooms inside.

INT. CAMP RADIO ROOM DAWN BREAKING
Two Japanese base members: Houji Nakajima – late 30s - is on the radio, wearing headphones, Mamoru Ayano – late 20s - stands next to a large wall map, showing the Antarctic region, with various bases marked.

NAKAJIMA
Sir! It's some Russians! They need medical attention and we're the nearest base.

AYANO
(Looking at the map)

It's probably just an excuse to spy on us.

NAKAJIMA
But they say it's serious.

AYANO
Tell them nothing.

NAKAJIMA
I'll ask them their location.

AYANO
Don't! We're not getting involved.

NAKAJIMA
This is Toshika. Sorry but we can't accommodate you.

(Nakajima listens to the reply)

NAKAJIMA (CONT'D)
They say under that international law, we're required to give full medical assistance.

AYANO
Damned Russians don't give a shit about international law.

NAKAJIMA
Sir, are you authorized to refuse?

AYANO
Permission refused by the acting commander. Anyhow, we don't have medical facilities…don't tell them that.

NAKAJIMA
I'm sorry but we can't accommodate you. Repeat, we can't accommodate you.
(Transmission ends.)

NAKAJIMA (Cont'd)
They say they're coming in anyway.

He reaches for a pencil and pad.

AYANO
What are you doing?

NAKAJIMA
Logging the call sir.

AYANO
Well don't. It only creates more paperwork.

NAKAJIMA
Sir?

AYANO
We're not pen pushers. Come on, breakfast and then we'll go and see Yuuki.

Ayano and Nakajima walk out the radio room, down a corridor into a larger room, where a few men are asleep on some beds, and then out through the door. Just before he leaves, Ayano gives a bed an almighty kick, waking the occupant up.

EXT. ANTARCTIC OCEAN DAWN BREAKING
The submarine carries on its journey

EXT. OUTSIDE TOSHIKA DAWN BREAKING
Two Mitsubishi Type 73s, marked T1 and T2 respectively, stand outside. Two mechanics, Makoto and Tobase are working on Mitsubishi T2's engine. Another, Yuoji is sat inside, working on the radio.

AYANO
How's that engine coming on, Tobase?

TOBASE
Barely working. We could do with picking up some spare parts from Goryu, if anyone's passing there?

AYANO
We'll see. Yuoji?

Yuoji looks up from the radio.

YUOJI
Same here sir. The radio needs parts.

Ayano and Nakajima approach Mitsubishi T1.

AYANO
T1 working fine?

MAKOTO
Yes, all better now.

AYANO
When you do get that one working, take it back down to Shrine.

MAKOTO
And walk back here?

AYANO
Have some breakfast first, so you can walk it off.

MAKOTO
Yes sir.

AYANO
Where the hell is Nakura?

Nakura runs out of the hut towards Ayano's Type 73, carrying a large Hessian bag.

NAKURA
Sorry sir.

All three get in the Mitsubishi and it drives off towards Grytviken.

EXT. EDGE OF GRYTVIKEN DAY
The ground is frozen and covered with a thin layer of snow. Nakura is sat in the parked up Mitsubishi. Ayano and Nakajima are walking to the edge of town, wearing thick warm coats.

NAKAJIMA
The Russians couldn't possibly take off in that storm.

AYANO
Well they could have radioed whilst airborne. Flown ahead of the storm.

NAKAJIMA
But they must know we don't have an airport. If they flew towards the Falklands, all the radar points towards Argentina, so they might get through.

AYANO
Well their plane should be here in a couple of hours and then they'll see there's nowhere to land?

NAKAJIMA
It's not too late to log that call. I really think we should.

AYANO
(Sarcastic)
Hasn't it sunk in yet, Nakajima? Command's very busy. All those dignitaries and politicians flown half way around the world for a great banzai. And we're left here to do animal research on the armpit of the fucking South Atlantic! Did you get an invite to celebrate?

NAKAJIMA
Nope.

AYANO
Nope indeed. Neither did I. But most of the gang at Goryu did. The locals did.

NAKAJIMA
Except for Yuuki.

(CONT'D)

Obviously. But the rest all fucked off to East Falkland to get fat and pissed on a three-day pass. And what do we get? Shitty bottles of sake. Well they can live without their damned radio messages. And we can live without them. Eh?

Ahead of them stands Jimmy (Yuuki to them), a fat local civilian in his 50s.
NAKAJIMA
I suppose so sir.

AYANO
There's Yuuki. (In his best English) Yuuki!

Gibbs and Duncan walk towards Jimmy and all three then walk off towards Grytviken.

JIMMY
Chill-E will be here tomorrow.

AYANO
We're ready to load up at Hound Bay.

JIMMY
Too many people watching. Chill-E prefers to pick up at King Edward's point.

AYANO
No good. Still a British detachment there. Chill-E might be seen.

JIMMY
Then they'll meet you at Cumberland Bay West.

AYANO
That's a bit of a trek isn't it?

JIMMY
Only for you. Chilly aren't a taxi service. Do you want to get your stuff away or don't you?

Jimmy walks off. Ayano signals Nakura to come down, and they all follow Jimmy to his house where the back garden is covered by a large tarpaulin.

EXT. IN THE SKIES, 12 MILES OFF SOUTH GEORGIA

A lone transport helicopter flies into view. On board appears what seems to be a massive, yellow octopus with an emoji for a face and wearing heavy winter clothes.

All around him in the helicopter are young teenagers, a man in his late-20's and a beautiful blonde woman in her early-20's. One of the students, Nagisa, speaks up.

NAGISA

So, Korosensei, why are we all flying out here for?

(The other students look up at Korosensei)

TERASAKA

Yeah. Octopus, you better have a good reason why we're gonna freeze our asses off out here!

KOROSENSEI

Ah, don't worry everyone! Like I said before back home, this is just a research vacation to learn more about seals, sealions, and reindeer. Now get some rest before we land soon.

Everyone gets to sleep.

EXT. OFF SOUTH GEORGIA DAWN BREAKING
The Russian Submarine surfaces. Ahead are the icy mountains of the South side of South Georgia. Captain and Kiernov man the conning tower.

KIERNOV
There's a landing place on the North side.

CAPTAIN (into intercom)
Follow the coastline heading east, proceed with caution.

Ayano's Type 73 is driving back from Grytviken when they see Mitarai with a flashlight. The Mitsubishi stops.

AYANO
See what he wants.

Nakajima jumps out and runs to Mitarai, then runs back again.

NAKAJIMA
Urgent radio message, sir.

EXT. TOSHIKA CAMP DAWN BREAKING
Ayano gets out of the Mitsubishi and heads for the hut.

EXT. TOSHIKA RADIO ROOM
AYANO joins Yuoji in the radio room. The wall clock says 4AM. Yuoji is on the radio.

YUOJI
They're here.

AYANO
Who? Chill-E?

YUOJI
The Russians!

EXT. TOSHIKA DAWN BREAKING
Ayano and Yuoji exit. Ayano goes over to Nakajima and Nakura's Rover.

AYANO
Move everything up to Cumberland Bay West. Use anything that moves as a shuttle if you have to, just get it up there. And if you have to do any more killing, use the knife, eh?

NAKAJIMA
Right! See you when I get back.

Nakajima drives the Mitsubishi off North. Ayano goes to the other Mitsubishi.

AYANO
Get in, I'll explain on the way.

Yuoji and Tobase get in the Type 73 with Ayano.

TOBASE
I can't guarantee how long the engine will last sir.

AYANO
We'll risk it. Yuoji, Tobase, you're coming with me.

EXT. COLD BARREN DIRT TRACK DAWN
The light is very eerie. Ayano, Yuoji and Tobase get out of the Mitsubishi near the coast.

AYANO
They definitively said Hound Bay?

YUOJI
That was the map reference they gave. I've got – Sir, over there.

They see a flashlight in the distance, which they walk towards.

EXT. HOUND BAY DAWN BREAKING

A wild beach with snow covered mountains in the distance, across the water. There are many penguins and elephant seals dotted around the place. The Russian boat is on the shore, the acting commander stands in the surf carrying his wounded colleague. In the distance can be seen the submarine. Gibbs approaches the boat with a pistol drawn.

AYANO
Where's your aircraft? We thought…

KIERNOV
(Saluting)
Acting commander Ivan Kiernov, from the Russian research station Novgorod.

AYANO
(Returning the salute)
Mamoru Ayano, acting commander of Toshika. What the hell-

KIERNOV
As we said on our radio, my Commander needs urgent help. He is burnt. We had a small fire and our medical room was damaged.

AYANO
Are you armed?

KIERNOV
Only on there.

AYANO
Why come here? We can't be the closest to you.

KIERNOV
You are now.

AYANO
This is not a field hospital.

KIERNOV
He needs help. And he is not alone...

Russian crew carry MacReady and Childs out of the boat.

KIERNOV Cont'd
Americans!

AYANO
Yuoji! Nakajima! Get them in the 73.

The wounded are put in the Mitsubishi and the Russian crew return to the boat, except for Kiernov.

KIERNOV
We found them in the snow outside their camp. Burnt down.

AYANO
What happened?

KIERNOV
We don't know. Is not related to our small fire. That is why we come here.

AYANO
Have they said anything?

KIERNOV
Not speaking. Frozen, but not dead.

The crew call from the boat.

KIERNOV (Cont'd)
The submarine comes back tomorrow night. I stay. My commander speaks no English.

AYANO
(Weighing the situation in)
If you stay, you do what I tell you to.

KIERNOV
Yes.

Kiernov calls back to the boat who cast off and return to the submarine. Kiernov and Ayano get into the Mitsubishi which drives off.

EXT. KING EDWARD'S POINT DAWN
A bay surrounded by icy mountains. The Japanese Flag flies over the former army barracks and several other one story buildings. Nakajima and Nakura's T1 slows down on the road outside.

NAKAJIMA
Why are you stopping?

NAKURA
Pick some spares up.

NAKAJIMA
They're still asleep. Come on, we've got work to do.

The Type 73 drives off.

EXT. SHRINECAMP DAWN
A hut similar to Toshika stands near the entrance to Hound Bay. Another small hut stands close to it, outside it stands three mechanized Snow Shovels.

Ayano's Mitsubishi pulls up.

AYANO
Get the back doors open, but don't take them out yet. And keep an eye on him.

Ayano gets out and knocks on the hut's first door.

AYANO (Cont'd)
Allen! Allen!

An American man in his 50s opens the door.

ALLEN
Morning.

AYANO
You've got some patients...

And done. This may seem weird to have both MacReady and Childs somehow survive this long, but they may have staked it out for a long time.

Chapter 2 is in the works. Bye.
