In the early morning hours, at 2:35 AM, Kate Lloyd was in her room and she was having a really bad nightmare. She was having a nightmare about what happened to her down in Antarctica at Thule Station and she was seeing what she went through with the horror of the shapeshifting monster called The Thing! She saw her friends at Thule Station turn into horrible grotesque monstrosities. Then one of them attacked and the dream broke! She woke up and gasped! It was now 8:00 AM.

Natilee and everyone came in.

Natilee: Kate are you all right?

Kate L.: Really bad dream.

Maria: First, Lincoln. And now, you? Is everyone getting nightmares now?

Natilee: Maria, now's not the time. Kate were you having nightmares about The Thing again?

Kate L.: Yeah. I was.

Lori: That monster was terrifying.

Natilee: You can tell us about it at breakfast.

Kate L.: Okay.

We went to breakfast.

We were having pancakes and eggs. Kate told us her dream.

Me: Whoa! Kate that's terrible!

Alicia: That is almost like what we went through with the Necromorphs.

Me: This is a whole new different ballgame Alicia. The Thing is a whole new different matter.

Thing: You guys aren't talking about me are you?

Me: No Ben, this is a different kind of Thing. It's a Shapeshifting Alien monster that imitates lifeforms perfectly. Kate had a horrifying encounter with it down in Antarctica when she worked at Thule Station 37 years ago. It killed everyone but her and she was forever scarred because of it.

Kate L.: Yes. It traumatized me.

Thing: Oh man. That's awful.

Qin: What is this Thing?

Me: It's a horrifying creature Qin. It's a shapeshifting alien monster that can imitate lifeforms perfectly.

I went over the history of The Thing from 1982, 2002 and 2011.

In nature, the Thing is basically an ambush predator, isolating a potential victim or threat to consume and assume its form. In certain cases, usually when exposed or the person it assimilated is fatally inflicted, the Thing will discard all caution and defend itself by manifesting features that may be of its natural form, including tendrils, claws, and mouths. However, the Thing's most dangerous aspect is its cells, each a functional life form that can become independent from the main body when severed by force or separate to assimilate and self-preservation. For this reason, it is necessary to destroy the body down to the cellular level with incineration an effective method.

Behavior and Intelligence

The Thing has only assimilation and self-preservation in mind, as it will selfishly save itself or even attack other forms of its manifestation/progeny in order to avert attention and suspicion. When The Thing is left alone with a suitable target, it will begin to split open and fire out tendrils, which grab the target and begin to assimilate it. In certain cases after discovery or high chance of discovery, The Thing will sometimes perform "divide and conquer" tactics, as in the case of the assimilated Edward which split up into three separate forms: One on his hand quickly detaches and animated itself before engaged and began assimilating Jonas, another limb scuttled away soon after detaching for potential assimilation in a safer location, and the main body of the Edvard thing killed Derek and successfully assimilated Adam Finch, resulting a form of The Thing named Split-Face. This is also performed, albeit much less successfully, by the Norris-Thing. When exposed, Things will react depending on how big they are compared to the threat. Smaller Things will generally attempt to escape and ambush prey when the individual is more vulnerable. However, a larger Thing will usually attack prey head on and attempt to overwhelm any hostiles instead of escaping, although if it has not completely lost its cover it will attempt to flee.

In terms of intelligence, The Thing's intelligence depends on the size of their manifestations: Smaller ones are quite stupid, dimwitted, nonsensical and reckless while the larger ones, especially those who imitate a human are quite cunning, manipulative and formidably calculating. For example, Norris' mutated head foolishly led itself seen by MacReady and his friends while scuttering away from them that resulting its incineration. Because The Thing can acquire the memories and knowledge of those who it previously assimilated, they can used the said memories and knowledge for their advantage, though only larger manifestations of The Thing that more competent to do so: Thing Beast who has assimilated Sander was capable of taking control over UFO which brought it to Earth while the assimilated Blair on the other hand, build a makeshift UFO and aware how dynamite works as when ambushing MacReady, it disposed the detonator before revealing itself to confront him. However, this not always apply to all larger manifestation of Thing Beasts: Rapture-type Thing Beasts (see below) have no intention of hiding themselves from view as well as not manifesting useful appendages that supposedly give them advantage in battle like legs, and their chosen forms act primarily with little intelligence. A plausible explanation of this is likely Rapture-type Thing Beasts' own overconfidence against their foes that they believe mobility to evade their foes' attacks unnecessary due to their formidable but stationary form.

When exposed, The Thing would attack anyone on sight to save itself. This somewhat serves as their psychological weakness due to their aggressive mood blinded them from serious threat that their foes unexpectedly posed on them: The Thing who manifested from assimilated Juliette recklessly attempted to kill Kate and the others as soon as it unveil its true form which ironically led to its incineration. Should it survived the ordeal from its foes/preys and managed to hide, The Thing would regain its composures in order to use their original intelligence once again: When Split-Face Thing confronting Sam, it hesistate upon noticing his flamethrower.

The Thing's ability to interact with plant based life-forms is largely unknown. Its only interaction with plant based life was in the form of wood/clothing fibers. It cannot absorb these as noted by MacReady, which could suggest an inability to absorb plant cells or dead cells. The Thing themselves also a remarkable Master Manipulator in certain degree, not only because they enciting paranoia among their foes and victims alike, but also not shown eating or drinking beyond living humans or dogs, and it also leaves the bodies of killed humans or dogs untouched even though there is usable biomass, implies that it understands that potential hosts will react strangely to the presence of someone they know to be deceased. Possible other reasons why it never seen assimilating fresh corpses was either it only able to assimilate victim alive or aware that missing dead bodies would arouse suspicion.

In another feat of reasoning, a Thing destroyed a test that would have lead to its exposure, demonstrating awareness of biology and medical practices that would have exposed it. Interestingly, the second time this same method was proposed as a test the Thing had seemingly preempted the idea, this despite the fact that the Thing that had arrived at the second base was spawned long before the first test was thought of and was in a non-human form. This lead to the theory of a shared consciousness between Things, especially as the second sabotage was far harder to pull off covertly and while sowing seeds of misdirection it also exposed its presence.

Biography

The Thing (1982) & The Thing (2011)

The depiction of The Thing from these two modern movies are a lot more faithful to the original novella description than the 1951 counterpart.

Its origin a mystery, the Thing crash landed in a spacecraft within the icy fields of Antarctica 100,000 years ago and was frozen attempting to escape. However, in 1982, the spacecraft and the Thing were found by a team of American and Norwegian explorers/researchers under Dr. Sander Halvorson from Thules station, who hired Columbia University paleontologist Kate Lloyd to take a sample of the creature's blood as it was brought to the base in a block of ice. But later that evening, the Thing bursts from the ice and kills Lars' Alaskan Malamute, Jed while ingesting Henrik before it was burned alive. However, an autopsy of the scorched alien corpse reveals that its cells are still alive and in the process of assimilating Henrik.

When Kate realizes the Thing already might have had assimilated others, she places the base on quarantine to weed out the Thing based on those who still have metal fillings in their teeth and such, after her initial plan of weeding out the monster through blood sample test had been sabotaged by The Thing. Due to The Thing's ability of imitate, emulate, mimic and appearing exactly like any of research members paranoid began to set in. Eventually the majority of research team were infected and incinerated before Sander, having been infected, makes a run for the spaceship. Kate and Sam Carter, the only two surviving crew members, chase Sanders to the alien UFO where Kate and Carter got separated. Kate eventually manages to pursue and kill the monster and heavily damages the ship to be beyond any repair. After reuniting with Carter, Kate resolved herself to catch him off guard and incinerated him when he is discovered that his earring he previously wore was missing and pointed to the wrong ear when confronted. When Carter was set aflame he emitted an inhuman scream, another evidence that Carter was The Thing. After this Kate is left all alone, leaving her fate unknown.

Meanwhile back at the Thules station, Lars' dog (having been infected and lying low until the time was right) makes its way to an American Antarctic research station with Lars attempting to kill it before he was shot by Lt. Garry, the station commander. Helicopter pilot R.J. MacReady and Dr. Copper fly to the Norwegian's camp, finding the charred remains of the various Things included the burnt yet preserved corpse that was the station's commander Edvard Wolner after it assimilated Sander's assistant Adam Finch.

After the two-faced corpse was brought to the base, the Americans realize the Thing's presence too late when Lar's dog was placed in a kennel with the station's sled dogs and attempted to assimilate them all. After Childs incinerates the creature, with the team finding the ruins of the spacecraft, the autopsy done by Blair confirms the Thing's nature as he later proceeds to trap everyone on the base and kill the remaining dogs so no one can leave until the Thing is truly dead before being locked in a tool shed by the others as they devised a way to weed out the Thing by using its autonomous cells to weed out the assimilated. By the time that McReady and the other normal humans remain, they learn that Blair got assimilated and is building a small escape craft. Realizing that the Thing may also intentionally freeze itself to wait for a rescue team in the spring, MacReady resolves to kill it with dynamite around the complex. After the Thing that Blair became is dead, with Garry and Nauls killed off prior, MacReady finds Childs with both thinking the other got assimilated before seeing no point in distrusting each other as they would die of frost within hours.

In Videogames

In the 2002 videogame "The Thing", which serves as sequel for the 1982 film and set 3 months after events of the said film, it is revealed that The Thing still alive and waiting for more victims to absorb and kill. This time, there are more numerous manifestation of this alien lifeform at once and worse, everything became more complicated as most of them have been captured as means to be repurposed into bioweapons by Gen Inc. Things went wrong however, following their escape, Whitley, the mastermind behind the experiment to modify The Thing into bioweapons, has inject himself with Cloud virus, viral agent based on Thing's cells and planned to infect the whole planet. Fortunately, Blake (the protagonist of the game) foiled his plan and destroyed him with help of MacReady, sole survivor of the 1982 film, before he had a chance to infect the rescue team.

In the videogame, The Thing was regarded more like viral organism that has the ability to replicate the original biological entity, including their clothing. This likely due to in the said game, The Thing had further developed its ability which intrigued Gen Inc. to experimenting on it.

Variants In-Game

Scuttlers

A form of Thing that has assimilated and formed from mutilated body parts (often from those whom already assimilated by Thing's cells). These autonomous small Things' primary transformation involves manifesting teeth, arachnid-like limbs, and also a pair of strong hind legs that enable them to leap toward the non-assimilated lifeforms. Aside leaping, they could either attacking by biting or spitting digestive fluid as projectile. They could be crippled easily by crippled it first with few shots from guns before finished by a single blast from flamethrower. They were inspired by mutated form of Norris' head after mutated by Thing's cells.

Scuttler Pods

A form of Thing that in form of fleshy, blob-like biomass that immobile but dangerous due to manifesting Scuttlers as means of defense. Their prime weakness is incapable of moving nor having alternate means of defense and can be destroyed by a blast of flamethrower and variety of firearms.

Walkers

Form of Thing that manifest as humanoid monster with deformed torso, deformed claw hands, and insectoid legs that formerly humanoid ones. Their early form were brutish, muscular monster with a huge, transparent hole in their torso.

Imitations

Imitations are form of Thing that previosuly introduced in the films. They perfectly assumed their victim's appearance and able to transformed to their mutated form when their potential victims lower their guard. For the game incarnations, they tend to retain some elements of their hosts' appearance like clothes that still intact though their limbs in mutated state, similar with the mutated Palmer in the 1982 film.

Dog Beasts

Thing beast that similar with mutated form of Lar's dog as both formerly has assimilated dogs. But unlike the latter, Dog Beasts still retain their limbs (though the said bodyparts also mutated to the point where they could support their weight as well as enable them to run at the tremendous speed).

Ruptures

They are form of huge Things that take up an entire room or even be part of the room integrated into the architecture. Typically, they have human forms imbedded in them and attack with tentacles, teeth and fluids. They are immobile and are confined to the location in which they are met, which made them vulnerable due to unable to avoid their enemies' attacks.

Weakness and Countermeasures

Though their deadly capacities in assimilation and other abilities made The Thing became a villainous, threatening force to deal with, there's a number of methods that can be done to expose them:

The Thing cannot assimilated non-organic components (for example, tooth fillings or prosthetics) on the victims. So, when one notice one of their friends not wearing any earrings/tooth fillings/prosthetics/other non-organic components that embedded/put on their body, they likely have been previously assimilated into a manifestation of The Thing. This method is the least effective in exposing a Thing's manifestation.

Blood Tests: There are three type of blood test that can be done to differentiate regular lifeforms and the assimilated ones which actually a Thing in disguise:

Blood serum test: A suspected imitation's blood is mixed with uncontaminated blood; which will hypothetically react if the creature is an impostor. This was yet to be proven effective, as The Thing quickly destroyed stored sacks of uncontaminated blood to avoid suspicion.

Hot needle test: When a sample of disguised Thing's blood is burned with a hot needle, the blood would jumped away from the needle. If the blood sample was taken from yet to be assimilated person, the blood would simply burnt.

Blood Test Hypo tool: More advanced version of the previous method, where this device extracted a suspected person's blood and it mixed the said blood with stored chemical agent. As before, the blood would animates and make an attempt to escapes, but failed as chemical agent killed it.

Aside the means of exposing a disguised Thing, the methods to killing them are:

Electrocution: Electrocution works against The Thing as the method would fry it's cells as seen in Who's Got There?, as well as implied by a Thing's manifestation from Norris' body which suddenly reacts by chomping on Chopper's hands when the latter tries to electrocute him.

Explosives: Explosive can obliterate Thing completely into pieces, effective to weakened the larger Thing beasts before incinerate their remains.

Incineration: Incineration can killed a Thing manifestation as fire would destroyed it in cellular level, but this mostly effective on medium to smaller sized Thing manifestation, as the larger one had a chance to survive albeit incapacitated, as proved when Split-Face Thing whom part of it survived in spite of being heavily injured by Kate's flamethrower.

The last two known weakness that The Thing possessed are:

As previously mentioned before, upon being exposed, a Thing manifestation would angrily attack and assimilate anyone on sight which give their foes an opening.

The Thing had a limit in maximum size expansion during assimilation process, as had they grown too large during the assimilation process, this would transformed them into a boiling mass of flesh and random body parts where in this state, hindered their mobility and made them vulnerable.

Qin was horrified!

Qin: That is a nightmare! Kate, I'm so sorry you went through all that.

Kate L.: It's all right Qin. But thank you for your concern. I've now gotten over my fear of the Thing. But the nightmares still haunt me.

Me: You're still having problems with your inner demons from long ago events. There's also a Thing that was from before all this that we saw. It was made in 1951 from my dads past.

Kate L.: Really? I didn't know there was a movie before the one I know.

Me: It was made in 1951. It was called "The Thing From Another World." That is a whole different version of it.

Lola: How so?

Me: That version of The Thing takes place at the North Pole and the creature was made of Plant Material. The one that Kate knows is made of blood, guts and gore.

Kate L.: That is an interesting difference.

Me: It is.

Kate L.: And it can imitate lifeforms perfectly. It causes extreme fear, distrust, paranoia and dissension among anyone it comes into contact with.

Qin: That's horrifying.

Poison Ivy: If that Thing monster has perfect shapeshifting abilities, it could've turned into anything it wanted.

Me: Yes it could. And it can turn into anything.

Alicia: I can't believe this Thing is that dangerous and elusive.

Me: No kidding. We can go deal with Kate's inner demons later. Right now we're gonna go on a tour of the Baxter Building.

Qin: What's that?

Me: It's the main base of operations for the Fantastic 4.

Qin: Oh that is so cool!

Me: Yep. Professor Richards A.K.A. Mr. Fantastic owns it. We've been there before and it's loaded with all kinds of things.

Qin: Wow!

Me: You want to come with us Qin?

Qin: You bet I do!

Me: Great!

We later went to the Baxter Building.

We arrived at the Baxter Building!

Me: Here we are Qin. Welcome to the Baxter Building.

Qin: Wow! It looks interesting.

Me: Wait till you see the inside.

We went into the building.

The Baxter Building is a 35-story building located at 42nd Street and Madison Avenue, Manhattan, New York City in the United States of America just a few blocks from the United Nations Headquarters. It has been home to many individuals and organizations. The most famous being the Fantastic Four.

Early History

The building was originally constructed in 1949 by the Leland Baxter Paper Company. The building's steel frame construction utilized the first application of "K bracing" in the world and is one of the strongest structures of its kind. Originally designed to accommodate pulp recycling machinery to serve the mid-Manhattan area, each floor was given a ceiling height of 24 feet.

World War II

It first became a headquarters to super-heroes in the late 1940s. In September of 1946, when the original headquarters of the All-Winners Squad was destroyed in a battle against Madame Death, their leader Captain America set his eyes on relocating the groups base of operations to the future site of the Baxter Building. The group finally moved into the partially completed building in until April of 1948. They remained tenants of the building until the group disbanded later in February of 1950.

In the late 20th century, the super-villain known as Nocturne attempted to unleash a alchemtechno virus upon New York City, using the Baxter Building as ground zero for his attack. This attempt was thwarted by the hero group known as the First Line. Although they stopped the virus, the top seven floors of the Baxter Building were destroyed and needed to be rebuilt.

In recent years the Baxter Building had become world famous as home to the super-heroes known as the Fantastic Four. When the Fantastic Four's military liaison suggested the building as their new headquarters, team leader Mister Fantastic agreed that it fit the needs of his group. Reed had purchased the building outright, Reed tapped his former professor Noah Baxter, part owner of the building, to assist him in reconstructing the top five floors of the Baxter Building to suit their needs. Much of the equipment originally installed in the Fantastic Four's headquarters was a collaborative project between the two men. The group moved in shortly after reconstruction began.

Initially, Reed bought that section of the building outright, though the Fantastic Four continued to pay monthly service fees. When the they were in a tight financial situation a year later, Reed sold the Fantastic Four's floors back to the Baxter Paper Company. As tenants, the Fantastic Four had many problems with Walter Collins, the building manager. Whereas Mr. Collins had originally been delighted that a real superhero team was moving into his building, he soon began to see the problems in such a situation. When Doctor Doom lifted the entire building into deep space, relations cooled between the manager and his tenants. Other tenants worried that their offices might become battlegrounds and, as their leases ended, many of the building's original tenants did not renew. Nor did new tenants appear to fill the vacancies. In desperation, Mr. Collins offered all tenants ironclad, 99-year leases with significant discounts in their rents.

Still, problems continued. Occasionally either the Thing or a foe would be driven downward through the building, tearing a shaft through floor after floor. Battles occurred on the outer walls of the building. Explosions were a common occurrence. No insurance company would write a policy on any organization maintaining offices in the Baxter Building.

Collins also discovered that losing the Fantastic Four as tenants would not solve his problems. During a period when the Fantastic Four had split up and vacated their headquarters, Collins discovered that no one would rent their former headquarters. There was too great a fear that supervillains would attack those floors regardless of who now lived there. When the Fantastic Four later reunited. Collins was forced to accept the FF back as tenants, and grudgingly agreed to charging them a lower rent as well.

Then one day Terrax the Tamer disintegrated everything above the 32nd floor. Collins was fed up. He stormed into the remains of the headquarters and announced he was evicting the Fantastic Four. Reed suddenly exercised a lease option and bought the entire building outright. That was the last that was seen of Collins. As landlords, the Fantastic Four tried to be considerate of their tenants, but their sudden foray into land ownership proved to be a challenge. They wished most of the tenants would voluntarily leave, but they realized they were required to honor Collins' special leases. The final act in the Baxter Building's history came when Kristoff Vernard, Doctor Doom's adopted son, sent the entire building once again into orbit, this time blowing it up.

Fortunately, no one was in the building except for the Fantastic Four. Still, when the Fantastic Four returned to the empty foundation, they found angry tenants demanding action. Reed announced that he would establish an insurance pool to cover the tenants' losses and to help them find new offices. Then he set about designing a new headquarters to be erected on the same site. Reed eventually constructed the Four Freedoms Plaza to replace the destroyed Baxter Building. It served as the FF's headquarters until they were seemingly slain by the psychic entity known as Onslaught. The Four Freedoms was later co-opted by the Thunderbolts as their new headquarters. It remained their headquarters part of the building was dumped into the Negative Zone. Meanwhile, the Fantastic Four turned up alive and well and were returned to Earth from a pocket dimension. They took up residence in a new headquarters dubbed Pier Four, because the Four Freedoms was uninhabitable. Ultimately the rest of the building was teleported to the Blue Area of the Moon by Ronan the Accuser during a battle against the Fantastic Four. This left a vacant lot in the place where the Four Freedoms used to stand. The Fantastic Four continued to use Pier 4 as their headquarters until it was destroyed in an attack by their long time foe Diablo. By that time, Reed and Noah Baxter had reunited to build a new Baxter Building, which was being secretly constructed in Earth orbit on Baxter's Alexandria space station. When the building was completed, and activated by the Fantastic Four it was lowered into the empty lot where the original Baxter building, and Four Freedoms Plaza previously resided.

The Baxter Building remained the Fantastic Four's headquarters for some time, until they hit more financial troubles. Forced to pay for the damages they caused to New York City over the years, Reed was forced to turn over the property to the City of New York, and the FF were promptly evicted from the premises. Eventually, the Fantastic Four were able to obtain a windfall of money and reclaim their former headquarters. Most recently the Baxter Building was shattered by an attack by creatures from a pocket dimension. The building was later ordered closed down by S.H.I.E.L.D.. Although the Fantastic Four ultimately defeated the Quiet Man, who masterminded recent events to take them down, the Fantastic Four decided to disband for the time being.

Parker Industries

Over a year after this, and following the apparent demise of Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, the Baxter Building came up for sale. Roxxon, Alchemax, and other corporations attempted to claim it, but it was purchased by Parker Industries not only to be the New York headquarters of the company, but to keep it safe for when the Fantastic Four reunited at long last. At first, Johnny was angry at Peter for buying their home, but upon learning why and seeing the statue of the family in the lobby, Johnny gave his blessing to Peter. A few months later, Parker Industries dissolved, and with its end, the Baxter Building had to be sold.

The Fantastix

The Building was eventually bought by the new superhero team the Fantastix, who made it their headquarters. After Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman returned from repairing the Multiverse, Mister Fantastic decided to let the Fantastix keep the Baxter Building. He told a confused Human Torch that the Fantastic Four were a family, not a building.

The Lobby

The ground floor contained Abe Shoenstein's snack shop, an optometrist's shop, a visitors' center, the elevator bank, and the freight loading dock. The visitors' center was as close as most people could get to the Fantastic Four; a multimedia show on the Fantastic Four's history was shown hourly from 9 to 4. The floor directory listed building tenants such as Pierre Picolino (a famous abstract sculptor), the Ladies' Canasta, Mah Jonng Society, and Fantastic Four Inc.

Elevators

Three elevators serviced floors floors 1 through 30. The fourth elevator was marked by the Fantastic Four's insignia. This was the express elevator to floors 31 through 35, the Fantastic Four's headquarters. The elevator could only be summoned by a solenoid activator such as were embedded in the Fantastic Four's belt buckles. Normally this elevator stayed on these floors and only descended to street level when summoned. On the way up, hidden scanners identified the passengers and checked them for hidden weapons or devices. If questionable material was found, the elevator would stop in midshaft until the Fantastic Four was prepared to deal with the intruder. All elevators doubled as freight elevators.

30th Floor

If a visitor chose to take one of the regular elevators, he was taken to the 30th floor. The bulk of the floor was occupied by the building's mechanical systems (plumbing, ventilation, and elevator winches). Acoustic insulation kept the noise from affecting the Fantastic Four's reception area. This floor also acted as a buffer zone to absorb damage from battles in the upper floors. It also contained the magnetic repulsion system. This system was designed to lift the upper floors away from the rest of the Baxter Building; the theory being that this way the rest of the building could have been protected from a particularly damaging battle. The system was designed as a compromise to placate Collins, the building manager. It was controlled from the Computer Center on the 33rd floor.

Reception Area

All the typical visitor saw on the 30th floor was the Fantastic Four's reception area. The visitor was greeted by Roberta, a usuform robot. Her visible half (above the waist) appeared to be an attractive blond in her 20s. Below the waist she was a pivoting arm attached directly to her desk. Roberta was tied directly to the Fantastic Four's computer system and could monitor the entire building. The reception room was also filled with hidden scanners to probe visitors. If the visitor were hostile, the floor was rigged to deliver a stunning electrical shock. Once the visitor had been cleared, a panel opened to reveal a lift to the 31st floor.

31st Floor

The 31st floor contained the Fantastic Four's living quarters. There were suites for Reed and Sue, Ben, and Johnny; originally Sue and Johnny commuted, using their suites when convenient, while Reed and Ben were permanent residents. Several guest rooms for other Fantastic Four members and the extended family, and the dining and living areas. After the building was bought by Parker Industries, Spider-Man uses on of the rooms as living quarters, while Johnny crashing in said room on occasion. Peter also converted Johnny's original room into the executive bathroom.

32nd Floor

The 32nd floor contained more living areas, Alicia Masters' studio (when she was a resident), the medical lab, the library, and reference room.

33rd Floor

The 33rd floor contained Reed's laboratory. The floor plan changed constantly as Reed added additional experiments and devices. In the Computer Center was a lever for activating the magnetic repellors on the 30th floor.

34th Floor

The 34th floor could be considered the actual headquarters. The computer banks, monitor banks, communications center, and briefing room were all there, as well as the overflow from Reed's laboratory below. The Astro-sciences section was tied in to SHIELD's and Project: Starcore's systems.

35th Floor

The 35th floor contained the hangars for the Fantastic Four's various vehicles, storage space, and a machine shop capable of building or repairing vehicles. A reinforced door in the corner led to the launching silo for the Fantastic Four's rocketship. This passenger ICBM was launched and stored in a heavily muffled silo with vibration-asborbing walls and exhaust pipes leading all the way to the Hudson River. The other vehicles were on platforms that carried them around the floor and over to the launching hatch.

The Roof

The roof was flat and featureless. A large Fantastic Four insignia marked the retractable hatch for launching and landing vehicles. If a Fantastic Four vehicle approached, the hatch would open automatically. There were a series of observatory domes located at various spots on the roof. Originally a permanent dome was located on the corner opposite the rocket silo. The last dome was closer to the silo but retractable. The entire dome could be lowered through the floor to the 35th-floor hangar. This left the roof completely clear for action and eliminated the only hiding place for a trespasser. The observatory equipment included a computer-linked telescope and twin telescopic cameras.

Construction

Windows are 2-foot thick composites of various glasses and plastics which are mirrored on the outside. Solid, armored, exterior walls are also mirror-clad and are indistinguishable from transparent sections. The top five sections of the Baxter Building are completely airtight, all doors are airlocks. Complete environmental support, including atmosphere is provided by the area between elevators 2, 3, and 4 on all floors. The building's steel-alloy framework may be rigid enough to be stood on one corner and not deform (though Reed himself stated that this was due to the use of tactile telekinesis by Gladiator).

Stairs

While the fire stairs extended the length of the building, they were blocked by a Fantastic Four insignia marked door on floor 34. The door opened automatically from the inside or could be externally opened by a solenoid activator. Since the door was never used except in emergencies, its opening triggered alarms in the master control and computer systems. This prevented intruders from entering the Fantastic Four's headquarters by way of the stairwell.

Security Systems

The Fantastic Four's master computer controlled all locks involving the upper floors. Such locks could be manually operated or overridden by either the master control or the computer system. The computer system maintained visual, audio, biophysical, and electronic surveillance on every section of the building. The building was equipped with devices that could disrupt the functioning of a single targeted device or stop the functioning of all electrical machinery within the Baxter Building. This system could be activated by the computer, by Roberta, by someone in the control room on the 33rd floor, or by anyone who might punch the panic buttons located in every room. If the button were pushed, the field would envelope the entire building.

We went into the building.

Kairi: Welcome to the Baxter Building, Qin.

Qin saw amazing cutting edge technology and more.

Qin: Wow! It's so high-tech!

Me: It is. Everything they do here has cutting edge technology that is decades more advanced than what we have now.

Qin: That's amazing!

Me: It is.

Stan Lee then appeared as a scientist.

Stan Lee: Well you guys are doing good.

Me: Stan Lee!

Qin: You're a scientist now!?

Me: He's full of surprises Qin. He appears in these parts when you least expect it.

Qin: That is so cool!

Stan Lee: That's right True Believers. Thanks again for rescuing me.

Me: Any time Stan. You're one of the Greatest Comic Book creators of all time. We would do anything for one of our heroes. EXCELSIOR!

Stan Lee: EXCELSIOR!

Everyone: EXCELSIOR!

Stan Lee left.

Qin: That is so awesome that Stan can appear like that.

Me: He always has had a knack for appearing in places never thought possible.

Qin: I can see that.

We saw Thing's room.

Cliffjumper: (to Thing) I see you got your room back to normal. Without the pink color, of course.

Qin: It was pink?

Me: Johnny decided to pull a silly prank on Ben by painting it Pink. It really infuriated him.

Thing: It sure did.

Me: They were just looking for a good laugh Ben. No harm done.

Thing: That's true. But it did feel humiliating.

Me: I know.

Blot: How are you enjoying the Baxter Building so far, Qin?

Qin: It's incredible!

Me: It sure is.

We continued to explore the building and it was unforgettable.

Later back at the estate, we were watching both movies for The Thing from 1982 and 2011. We were watching 2011's The Thing first and it was horrifying! The 2011 movie takes place 3 days before the events of the 1982 movie.

In the winter of 1982, a buried alien spacecraft is discovered in Antarctica by Lars, Peder and Olav, members of a Norwegian research station, "Thule". American paleontologist Kate Lloyd is recruited by Dr. Sander Halvorson and his assistant Adam Finch to investigate. They fly to Thule in an American helicopter operated by Carter, a pilot, Jameson, his co-pilot, and Griggs, a crewman. The scientists are met by station chief Edvard, Juliette, and Karl. After seeing the spacecraft, the scientists examine an alien body buried in the ice nearby, and make plans to excavate it. That evening, the new arrivals meet the rest of the base: Jonas, Henrik, Colin, and Lars' dog.

The next day, the body is excavated in a block of ice, which gradually melts in storage. In the evening, Jameson sees the alien burst from the ice. The team search for the creature, finding Lars' dog dead. The creature is found; it kills Henrik by dragging him into itself, spattering blood on Olav. The group burn the creature, killing it. An autopsy finds a metal implant of Henrik's outside of his body, and further that the creature's cells were copying Henrik's. Olav falls ill.

The next morning, the helicopter crew departs with Olav, for McMurdo. During takeoff, Kate discovers dental fillings near a bloodied shower. She runs outside to flag down the helicopter. When it attempts to land, Griggs transforms and attacks Olav. The helicopter spins out of control and crashes in the mountains. Kate finds the shower has been cleaned up and tells the team that the alien organism imitates its victims. Noting that Thule's helicopter is away for refueling at Halley, Edvard orders the team to drive to the closest base. Juliette lures Kate into an abandoned room, transforming and attacking her. Kate escapes, but the Juliette-creature instead kills Karl. Lars arrives with a flamethrower and burns the Juliette-creature. The team resolve to quarantine themselves until the threat is eliminated, and discuss scientific tests.

That night, Carter and Jameson improbably stagger back to the base, out of the cold. Suspecting them as creatures, the group isolate them. Thule's laboratory is sabotaged, and tensions flare. Inspired by her earlier discovery, Kate proposes a simple test: everyone must open their mouths to check for dental fillings. The alien does not assimilate inorganic or metallic material, and so people with fillings are cleared. The test implicates Sander, Edvard, Adam, and Colin, who have no visible fillings. Lars and Jonas go to get Carter and Jameson for testing, and as Lars searches an outer building, he is suddenly pulled inside. Chaos erupts, and Carter and Jameson break into the main building, shooting Peder dead and puncturing his flamethrower's tank. The flamethrower's leaking fuel meets its active flame, causing an explosion which knocks Edvard unconscious. When brought to the main room, Edvard violently transforms, infects Jonas, kills Jameson, and gruesomely assimilates Adam. The Edvard-creature drags Adam's body away, now part of its own body. Kate burns Jonas and Jameson before she and Carter pursue the creature, which assimilates Sander. The Edvard-Adam-creature attacks Carter but is burned by Kate, saving him.

An assimilated Sander drives off into the night, pursued by Kate and Carter. They arrive at the spacecraft which suddenly activates, separating them. Kate falls into the ship, confronting the Sander-creature. Kate kills it with a grenade and the explosion shuts down the ship's engines. Kate and Carter reunite. Kate notices that Carter is missing an earring he wore earlier. When confronted, Carter points to the wrong ear. Kate burns the Carter-Thing, which emits an alien scream, and she seeks warmth in a nearby snowcat.

The next morning, Thule's helicopter pilot Matias returns. Absent from the film's events until this point, Matias views the ruined station and the husk of the Edvard-Adam-monster with horror. Colin is shown to have committed suicide in the radio room, to ensure the Thing could never get to him. Lars shoots at Matias and orders him to open his mouth. Lars' dog, thought dead, emerges and runs away. Lars orders Matias to start the helicopter and give chase. Leading to the start of the 1982 movie.

Next we watched the 1982 version.

In Antarctica, a Norwegian helicopter pursues a sled dog to an American research station. The Americans witness the Norwegian passenger accidentally blow up the helicopter and himself. The Norwegian pilot fires a rifle and shouts at the Americans, but they cannot understand him and he is shot dead in self-defense by station commander Garry. The American helicopter pilot, R.J. MacReady, and Dr. Copper leave to investigate the Norwegian base. Among the charred ruins and frozen corpses, they find the burned remains of a malformed humanoid which they recover to the American station. Their biologist, Blair, performs autopsies on the remains and finds a normal set of human organs.

Clark kennels the sled dog, and it soon metamorphoses and absorbs the station dogs. This disturbance alerts the team and Childs uses a flamethrower to incinerate the creature. Blair autopsies the new creature and learns that it can perfectly imitate other organisms. Recovered Norwegian data leads the Americans to a large excavation site containing a partially buried alien spacecraft, and a smaller, human-sized dig site. Norris estimates that the alien ship has been buried for at least 100,000 years. Blair grows paranoid that the creature could assimilate all life on Earth in a matter of years. The station implements controls to reduce the risk of assimilation.

The "dead," malformed humanoid creature assimilates an isolated Bennings, but Windows interrupts the process and MacReady burns the Bennings-Thing. Blair sabotages all the vehicles, kills the remaining sled dogs, and destroys the radio to prevent escape. The team imprisons him in a tool shed. Copper suggests a test to compare each member's blood against uncontaminated blood held in storage, but after learning that the blood stores have been destroyed, the men lose faith in Garry, and MacReady takes command.

MacReady, Windows and Nauls find Fuchs's burnt corpse and surmise he committed suicide to avoid assimilation. Windows returns to base while MacReady and Nauls investigate MacReady's shack. On their return, Nauls abandons MacReady in a snowstorm, believing he has been assimilated after finding his torn clothes in the shack. The team debate whether to allow MacReady inside, but he breaks in and holds the group at bay with dynamite. During the encounter, Norris appears to suffer a heart attack.

As Copper attempts to defibrillate Norris, his chest transforms into a large mouth and bites off Copper's arms, killing him. MacReady incinerates the Norris-Thing, but its head detaches and attempts to escape before also being burnt. MacReady is forced to kill Clark in self-defense when the latter lunges at him from behind with a knife. He hypothesizes that the Norris-Thing's head demonstrated that every part of the Thing is an individual life form with its own survival instinct. He sequentially tests blood samples with a heated piece of wire. Everyone passes the test except Palmer, whose blood jumps from the heat. Palmer transforms and infects Windows, forcing MacReady to burn them both.

Childs is left on guard while the others go to test Blair. They find that Blair has escaped, and has been using vehicle components to assemble a small spacecraft. On their return, Childs is missing and the power generator is destroyed. MacReady speculates that the Thing intends to return to hibernation until a rescue team arrives. MacReady, Garry, and Nauls decide to detonate the entire station to destroy the Thing. As they set explosives, Blair kills Garry and Nauls disappears. Blair transforms into an enormous creature and destroys the detonator. MacReady triggers the explosives using a stick of dynamite, destroying the base.

MacReady sits nearby as the station burns. Childs returns, saying he became lost in the storm while pursuing Blair. Exhausted and slowly freezing to death, they acknowledge the futility of their distrust and share a bottle of scotch.

We got done and some of us were shaking in fear. But because we saw them before some of us weren't scared.

Me: That is horrifying.

Varie: I can't believe they went through all that.

Kate L.: But I didn't know it went to another outpost in Antarctica.

Nico: Yeah. It was awful. The Thing killed 15 people in both movies. That is awful.

Me: No kidding. But it's absolutely terrifying that the Thing can look like anyone or anything.

Spiderman: My Spider Sense can enable us to find out who the monster is disguised as.

Me: It doesn't work that way Peter. The Thing has the ability to imitate lifeforms perfectly. Our best chances are to use my Omnitrix to flush it out or use the Blood Test MacReady thought up. His findings were good.

Lana: They sure were. And I think our powers can protect us from the Thing should it get to us.

Me: They will Lana. Good point.

Lincoln: Also I heard that there's a video game for The Thing.

Me: That's right Lincoln. It's for Playstation 2.

I showed him said game.

Me: This game takes place in 2002, 20 years after the events of the 1982 movie.

Kate L.: I didn't know that there was a video game for the movies.

Me: Yep. Let me show you guys.

I put the game in and played it and everyone was watching.

The game begins at U.S. Outpost 31 in Antarctica, a short time after the events of the film. Two teams of U.S. Special Forces have arrived to investigate the U.S. camp and the nearby Norwegian camp. Captain J.F. Blake (voiced by Per Solli) is the leader of Bravo Team, who are investigating the U.S. camp, whilst Alpha Team, under the command of Captain Pierce, investigate the Norwegian camp. Both teams are under the overall command of Colonel Whitley (William B. Davis), who is in constant communication via radio. Whilst investigating Outpost 31, Bravo Team soon discover the small spacecraft made by the Blair-Thing and a tape recorder with a message from R.J. MacReady, describing how nobody trusts anybody anymore. They then find information detailing how the base has been infiltrated by an extraterrestrial lifeform that is capable of imitating the physical appearance and characteristics of any living organism it assimilates. They also find the body of Childs, one of the two survivors at the end of the film, who has died from hypothermia. The film's other survivor, MacReady, is nowhere to be found. Under orders from Whitley, Bravo Team set up C-4 explosives throughout the facility, which are detonated remotely, destroying the outpost.

Whilst the rest of Bravo Team are airlifted to safety, Blake heads to the Norwegian camp to locate and reinforce Alpha Team, with whom contact has been lost. He soon learns they have been attacked and scattered by a horde of "scuttlers;" small limbs and appendages of much larger Things. Eventually Blake finds Pierce. However, he has become paranoid, believing everyone to be infected and demanding Blake agrees to a blood test to prove he is still human. Blake does so, and he and Pierce set out to find a way to reestablish communication with Whitley. However, they are soon separated, and with no other choice, Blake continues on, finding the radio room, but discovering someone has stolen the radio and fled into a nearby warehouse.

En route to the warehouse, Blake encounters Pierce in an observatory. However, he is infected, and rather than allow himself to turn into a Thing, Pierce shoots himself in the head. Blake continues to pursue the man with the radio, eventually discovering that he is a Thing. Blake kills him, and takes the radio. Moving on, he enters the "Pyron" sub-facility beneath the Norwegian base, learning of a company called Gen-Inc., who have installed a research team under the command of Dr. Sean Faraday (John Carpenter). Gen-Inc. had been conducting biological experiments on the Things when their team was infected, and now only a few survivors remain within the facility. Blake rescues Faraday and attempts to leave. However, he is prevented from doing so by Whitley, who shoots him with a tranquillizer gun, and reveals to Faraday that he has infected himself with the Thing gene, claiming it to be controllable, something of which he is living proof, and therefore demonstrating its capability as a weapon. When Faraday attempts to eradicate the Thing virus, Whitley kills him.

Blake awakens in the now abandoned "Strata" research facility, and learns that his cells have a unique resistance to infection by the Thing virus. After escaping his confinement, he unearths a government conspiracy whereby Gen-Inc. isolated a microbiological form of the Thing called the "Cloud virus", which was intended for use in biological warfare. However, the Thing infected everyone at the facility. Blake learns that Whitley was in charge of the entire operation, and has injected himself with a strain of the virus known as "Cloud Virus B4" in an attempt to cure his terminal cancer.

Blake fights his way through the facility, battling numerous black ops under Whitley's command, as well as many Things. Learning that Whitley plans to distribute the Thing virus around the world using a fleet of airplanes, he is able to destroy them before they take off. Eventually, Blake confronts Whitley himself. He sets him on fire, but Whitely is unhurt. He explains that an airlift team is on its way and when its arrives, he will begin global exposure. Whitley flees further into the base, pursued by Blake. At the partly excavated site of the original Thing's spaceship, Whitley transforms into a massive Thing creature. Blake encounters a helicopter pilot, who helps him defeat the Whitley-Thing. As the helicopter flies away from the base, the pilot reveals himself to be R.J. MacReady.

After 10 hours of playing, everyone was horrified.

Lana: Wow! That was intense!

Lola: That was scary!

Me: It was.

Kate L.: That was worse than what I went through.

Me: I know Kate. Sorry you had to see all that.

Kate L.: It's all right J.D.

Qin: Wow!

Nico: But it's good that Blake beat the Thing and saved the planet from a major global contamination.

Me: Yep. Also Qin, I did a really cool transformation that involved The Thing.

Qin: Really?

Me: Yep. It was back on Halloween in 2016. Just a couple of months after I moved here.

I revealed everything that happened during the events of Tricked.

Qin: Wow! You used a Thing Transformation to scare two major league jerks!?

Me: Yep. It was a fusion of all the monsters from both movies and the video game all togehter. Lucy did an awesome corn maze back then and we scared the living shit out of them. I have it all on video. Watch.

I put in a movie of what happened during the events of Tricked.

[Luna is playing on her organ]

Luna:

"When darkness falls on the house of Loud

Around every corner, new terror abounds

You don't want to lose your head! Ha ha ha!"

You can run, but you can't hide

They know that you taste better alive

I don't think that they've been fed

In a long, long time

Every corner, every floor

Watch out, they ain't herbivores

Ghastly ghouls out for blood

Sorry, bud

You got tricked

You got tricked

You got punked and pranked with a spooky twist

Before you wet your pants, better get out quick

Tricked, tricked, tricked

You got...tricked

Beware of fangs and bloody fur

A Loud House chainsaw massacre

There's no chance that you'll get out

Ghosts writing your eulogy

Heads are rolling literally

So, who needs their mommy now?

Spilling guts on the floor

Clean up on aisle four

Why you running off so soon?

Sorry dude

You got tricked

You got tricked

You got punked and pranked with a spooky twist

Before you wet your pants, better get out quick

Tricked, tricked, tricked

You got...tricked

[During the montage, the Loud Sisters scare the stinkers with everything they throw at them. Luan brings Mr. Coconuts to life, Lisa and Lily act rabid, Lori acts like she's been feasting on Rita, Lynn turns on her chainsaw, Lola appears like a corpse, Lana acts as her ghost, Leni walks around blindly under her dress with Geo rolling in his ball with the fake head still on, Laney was stirring a monster filled pot and cackled like a real witch, Varie was in her dark side mermaid form and she terrified the stinkers by snarling and hissing and spraying the stinkers with water that smelled really horrible, I unveiled my surprise. I had my eyes covered by my hair and I start to change. I become a hideously gruesome and horrific monstrosity loaded with blood, guts, body parts, tentacles and more. I was a fusion of every single horrific monster from the movie THE THING! The monsters were from the 1982 and 2011 movies and the 2002 Video Game. Lightning flashed behind the monstrosity and flames from the Netherworld flickered around it and it scared the stinkers so bad that it made them soil their pants 3 times, and everything else in the maze terrifies them to the point where the sounds of their screams catches the attention of the other kids on the block and their screams also catch the attention of a nearby police car, and the stinkers run into Lucy who is blocking the exit]

Lucy: "The crimes you have committed this night shan't go unpunished. You reap what you sow."

[She slashes a rope with her scythe, dumping a bucket of fake blood on them, making them scream]

Hank: "Blood!"

Hawk: "I'm gonna puke!"

Hank: "If you're gonna puke, I'm gonna puke!"

A tentacle with a scary flesh flower covered in blood and slime appears in front of their faces and tentacles come out and slap their faces and the stinkers vomited all over the ground.

[As they run out screaming, Lucy gives a small smile of satisfaction]

Hank: [nauseous] "We're not...coming back here...again..."

[He and Hawk run off and a police car drives up and the officers come out]

Luna: [finishing her song] " You got...tricked. "

Officer Stacy: You two are under arrest.

The movie was done and we cheered wildly.

Qin: Whoa! That was so awesome!

Nico: That was really clever! You used the monsters from The Thing movies and game to scare those two jerks into shitting themselves.

Me: Thanks. It was a day of retribution for everyone on Halloween 2016 for us. That was the most awesome Halloween we've ever had.

Qin: I can tell. That was awesome using the monsters from the Movies and Video Games to scare them like that.

Lincoln: It sure was Qin.

Earth: I'll say. That was so awesome that you did that.

Me: Thanks Earth.

Earth: You're welcome. But Lincoln wasn't nearly scared of the Thing like he was with The Harvester.

Me: Oh yeah. That was awful. Lincoln do you want to tell them?

Lincoln: You can tell them J.D.

Qin: What is the Harvester?

Me: It was a slasher movie about a farmer that turned into a Homicidal Crazed maniac. Here's a trailer for it.

I pulled up the trailer for the movie.

Narrator: "He was a humble farmer until a drought ravaged his land." [the farmlands have dried out and a tumbleweed passes by.] "Now, he's found a new crop..." [the farmers eyes turn red with pure evil and he suddenly starts killing innocent victims by slashing them apart with his scythe, killing them and harvesting their organs in a cooler.] "...human organs! He is...

Me in a Diabolical Voice and the Narrator: "The Harvester!"

I laugh Diabolically.

Narrator: "Opens this Friday."

Qin: Boy that is a sick movie!

Me: Lincoln saw that movie and he was scared to death. He was forever scarred by it.

Lincoln: Yeah. But I'm not scared of it anymore.

Me: We helped Lincoln destroy The Harvester when he had a really bad nightmare about it. We used the Simulator hooked up with Lisa's Dream Machine to help him face his fear.

Nico: Wow! That is genius.

Me: Yeah it sure was. Lincoln is now no longer terrified of him.

Kate L.: I'm sorry that happened to you Lincoln.

Lincoln: It's okay Kate. But after everything we saw in both the movies and the video game, we now can face The Thing.

Me: We sure can. Lets head to the Simulator for some action.

Everyone: YEAH!

We went to the Simulator.

We got ready for the coldest and most terrifying adventure we could face since the Terror of The Necromorphs. We were in our warmest fur parkas since we were going to Antarctica.

Me: When we go to Antarctica, it's gonna be bone-chilling cold down there. So we're gonna face temperatures of -100Ëš Fahrenheit down there.

Lana: This is gonna be interesting.

Lola: It sure is.

Laney: This is gonna be a terrifying adventure. But I'm ready for anything that comes our way.

Me: Yep. Lets do it.

The Simulator activated and we found ourselves in Antarctica back in 1982. We were right outside of Outpost 31. It was a cold place.

Me: Outpost 31.

Nico: Sure looks like a nice place to work in.

Me: If you're into handling cold temperatures and whiteout conditions.

We saw a burned Helicopter.

Me: This Helicopter is gone.

We went into the Outpost.

We saw the crew looking at a man shot.

Me: Wow. What happened to him?

MacReady: Who are you guys?

Me: We apologize for arriving unexpectedly.

We introduced ourselves.

MacReady: Pleasure to meet you all. R.J. MacReady. Helicopter Pilot.

Bennings: Bennings. Nice to meet you.

Norris: Vance Norris. Pleasure.

Nauls: Cool man. Name's Nauls.

Blair: I'm Blair. Pleasure.

Garry: I'm Garry. Pleasure.

Clark: I'm Clark.

Copper: I'm Copper. The doctor.

Fuchs: I'm Fuchs.

Childs: Name's Childs. Pleasure.

Windows: I'm Windows. It's a pleasure.

Palmer: I'm Palmer. It's an honor.

Me: Pleasure to meet you all.

Kate went up to the man that was shot and she recognized him.

Kate L.: That's Lars.

MacReady: Do you know him Kate?

Kate L.: Yeah. He's Norwegian. He's the Snowcat Driver and Dog Handler.

Me: He got shot through the eye.

Garry: He was trying to hurt a dog.

Me: A dog? Why?

Childs: We couldn't understand him.

Me: That's weird. We have stuff to tell you. We're actually not from this time. We're from the 21st Century in the year 2019, 37 years into the future.

Palmer: Really?

Me: Yep. We have a lot of stuff to tell you.

We told them everything.

MacReady: Wow! That's amazing.

Copper: It sure is.

Childs: I would find all this to be a bunch of voodoo bullshit. But it's all believable.

Me: The Reason we're here is because Kate has been through a terrifying ordeal and we need to show you.

Later we took the helicopter and flew and we saw the burning remains of Thule Station. It was burned all over.

Me: Here we are guys Thule Station.

Lincoln: Or what's left of it.

We went in.

MacReady: Anybody there?

Laney: It's deserted.

We saw the place ransacked and destroyed. We found an axe with blood on the handle and the blade imbedded into the wall. We went into another room and we found blood on the floor and it lead up to a frozen man sitting in a chair.

Copper: Mac!

We got a closer look and we saw that the man had committed suicide. He slashed his throat and his wrists and he had a razor in his hand.

Me: Shit! He took the cowards way out for some reason.

Lola: Geez!

Copper: My god. What the Hell happened here?

Me: A nightmare that's what.

Kate L.: Oh god. That's Colin.

MacReady: Do you know him?

Kate L.: He was from England. He was the radio operator.

Me: Lets see if we can find anything that might be of use to find out what happened here.

We looked around and we found some notes, a video unit, and a lot of tapes and stuff.

MacReady: (Offscreen) Hey guys come here!

We went to MacReady's location and what we found next was amazing. We found a huge block of ice that was broken open.

Me: Whoa!

Lana: That is a huge block of ice!

Me: Looks like something was frozen inside it.

Copper: Whatever it was it's gone now.

We later went back to Outpost 31 and ran an autopsy on a man and a gross monstrosity we found.

Me: This guy looks normal from the looks of things.

Copper: Yep. No drugs, no alcohol, nothing.

Blair was looking at the ugly creature and he cut it open and pulled out some of its organs and it was gross.

Blair: Well, what we got here is what appears to be in any way a normal set of internal organs.

Me: They sure look normal to me.

Nico: Me too.

Laney: Gross.

Lisa was helping him.

Lisa: Heart, Lungs, Kidneys, Liver, Intestines. They seem to be normal.

Me: Yuck. It sure is ugly-looking.

Kate L.: No kidding.

We were playing pool and cards in the Rec Room. Bennings yelped and he saw a dog go underneath him.

Bennings: Clark will you put this mutt with the others where he belongs?

Clark: Yeah, okay.

I looked at Lana and nodded and spoke to her telepathically.

Lana was hiding in the crates and she was watching Clark bring the dog into the kennel. He turned the lights off and left. Lana watched and she saw the dog growl and the huskies were snarling, barking and growling and then the dog started shaking and dripping blood out of its mouth and its face split open and its skull fell out.

Lana: Oh man!

Lana opened the kennel door and got all the dogs out of there and they were scared and Lana was consoling them. The creature sprouted tentacles, it's tongue grew longer and it grew spider legs.

Lana: It's all right dogs. You're okay.

Clark came back in and wondered what all the commotion was about and he saw Lana caring for the huskies and he saw The Thing in the Dog Kennel. MacReady went to get a beer and he heard the commotion and pulled the Fire Alarm and we all went to the kennel!

Clark: I don't know what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off. Whatever it is.

Lana: I got all the dogs but they are scared!

Me: Good work Lana.

MacReady: Bennings go get childs!

We heard a creature growling ferociously and it was unlike any kind of growling we've ever heard.

Kate L.: It's the Thing.

We went to the kennel and we saw a grotesque and gruesome sight! It was an ugly mass with a bunch of ugly features, blood, carnage and gore and it had a fake dog on it.

Me: WHAT THE FUCKING HELL!?

The creature screeched and it was horrifying! Everyone was looking at it in sheer horror! It was a grotesque and horrifying sight!

Laney: What is that Thing!?

Kate L.: That's The Thing! It's what attacked Thule Station!

MacReady and Garry fired guns and they hit the Thing and injured it. But the bullets weren't having any effect.

Me: Mac! Gerry! Stop! Bullets are useless against it.

Lola: Let me destroy it!

Lola fired a powerful blast of fire and burned it!

Lincoln: That Thing is toast!

Me: Good thing these Things don't like fire.

Nico: Yep. Hard to imagine that dog was a Thing.

Me: Yeah.

We ran an autopsy on the Dog-Thing and it was a disgusting and bloody and gruesomely grotesque sight. It was so disgusting seeing it. It made me almost want to throw up my guts. It made most of us want to throw up.

When it was done, Blair told us his findings.

Blair: You see, what we're talking about here is an organism that imitates other lifeforms, and it imitates them perfectly. When this Thing tried to attack our dogs it was going to digest them. Absorb them. And in the process shape its own cells to imitate them. This for instance. (Points to something) That's not dog. It's an imitation. Lana saved our dogs just in time.

Me: The poor babies. They were terrified by this ugly thing.

Laney: The poor things.

Lana: Yeah.

Me: But good work Lana.

Lana: Aw it was nothing.

Me: But it's obvious that the dogs aren't gonna be safe here with The Thing running around.

I scanned the dogs for any signs of The Thing and there was nothing.

Me: Good. No signs of the Thing in them.

Blair: How are you able to tell J.D.?

Me: My Omnitrix can detect Alien DNA and it can know a lot of things no human can understand.

Blair: That's really interesting.

I beamed the dogs to our estate at home and they were safe. Lana went back and was watching over the dogs.

We looked over the tapes from the Norwegian Camp and we saw that the people of Thule Station were digging around something.

Garry: Where'd they take these shots?

Me: Somewhere far from the looks of it.

Norris: Seems like they were spending most of their time someplace northeast of their camp at about 5 or 6 miles.

Fuchs: What's that?

We saw some strange shape under the ice.

MacReady: Looks like something buried under the ice.

Kate L.: That's the ship. We found a strange alien spacecraft under the ice.

We gasped.

MacReady: How is that possible?

Me: We've encountered a lot of things from space MacReady. It's a long and strange history.

MacReady: I can tell.

Later Kate told everyone about The Thing and what it's capable of and how dangerous it is to the entire planet.

MacReady: I don't know. Thousands of years ago it crashes. And this Thing gets thrown out or crawls out and it ends up freezing in the ice.

Childs: I just cannot believe any of this voodoo bullshit.

Me: There are lots of things we don't believe Childs.

Lola: Yeah. It's all true.

Palmer: Childs, it happens all the time man. They're falling out of the skies like flies. Government knows all about it. Right Mac?

MacReady: I believe it.

Me: Me too. But a lot of things are out there. A lot of things are waiting for us to explore.

Childs: And how does this motherfucker wake up after thousands of years in the ice?

Fuchs: And how can it look like a dog?

MacReady: Because it's different than us see? Because it's from outer space.

Kate L.: That's right. But we can't let this Thing leave here. If it makes it out of here, millions of people could die.

MacReady: It wouldn't just be millions, it would be the end of the world.

Me: Yep. That's why we have to keep it contained here. So we can destroy it.

Lincoln: This is turning into a nightmare from hell.

Me: Yep. Kate went through the exact same thing. The Thing killed everyone she knows in Thule Station.

Nico: And we've come here to destroy it completely.

Laney: But our powers make us impervious to getting infected by it.

We were in for one of the toughest battles ever.

Later we went to keep first watch. Then we heard the alarm go off and we followed MacReady and the crew outside and we saw Bennings outside and we saw him on the ground.

We surrounded him.

MacReady: It isn't Bennings!

We saw that his hands were horribly grotesque and gruesome!

Me: WHAT THE FUCK!?

Lincoln: What's happening to him!?

The Bennings-Thing let out a horrifying screech and it sounded like a bunch of creatures all at once. The sound of that screech sent shivers of fear down my spine. It was horrifying.

Thing: Hey, ugly! Ya probably don't care but you're making my name look bad!

Thing smashed the Bennings-Thing with devastating force and crushed it! But it regenerated itself.

Me: Physical Force is completely useless! But not this!

I fired a massive blast of fire at the Bennings-Thing and incinerated it. It let out a horrifying scream as it was being incinerated.

MacReady went to get a flamethrower.

Garry: My God what was happening to him!?

MacReady: If it had more time to finish, it would've looked and sounded and acted just like Bennings.

Garry: I don't know what you're saying.

MacReady: It was one of those Things out there trying to Imitate him Garry.

Me: That's what this Thing is Garry. It's a Shapeshifter. It imitates lifeforms perfectly.

We gathered the gruesome bodies of The Thing and we dumped fuel and oil on them and lit them on fire and incinerated them.

Nico: You Things have Failed this universe.

Kate L.: They sure have.

There was nothing left in the outpost.

Lola: Where's Blair?

Me: That's what I was wondering.

Fuchs came up to us.

Fuchs: I can't find Blair.

Me: Where's everybody else Fuchs?

Fuchs: Windows is still in the radio room trying to get through and everyone else is in the rec room.

Me: We'll be in there shortly.

MacReady: Right.

Fuchs: Okay.

He went back inside.

We looked around and we heard sparking and we saw that the Helicopter control board was destroyed.

BANG!

We heard a gunshot and went back inside fast! We heard Blair ranting and he was destroying everything in the Radio Room.

Norris: He's got a gun.

Blair: If anybody interferes, I'll kill them!

BANG!

His shot grazed my face and cut it.

Me: Wow!

MacReady: He smashed up some of the chopper pretty good. Childs, go see if he got to the tractor.

Childs went to do so.

We saw Blair smashing the radio equipment and Windows was hiding under the desk with a nasty wound to his head.

MacReady: Christ.

Me: He's fucked up.

Nico: No kidding.

Childs came back.

Childs: He got most of the chopper and the tractor.

Me: The dogs are safe. They're back in our dimension.

Clark: Thank goodness. Thanks J.D.

Me: Lana's watching them for you while we're here. I'll handle this. Laney, you help Windows when I subdue Blair.

Laney: Right.

I went over.

Me: Blair! Put the gun down and lets talk.

Blair pulled out his gun and shot at me and it hit my arm!

Blair: I'll Kill You!

He shot me 4 times. But I was still standing.

He grabbed the axe and I kicked it out of his hands and I punched him in the face and sent him crashing into the wall and knocked him out.

I pulled out the bullets and they were good ones.

Me: Wow.

Laney went over to Windows and looked him over.

Laney: You all right Windows?

Windows: Yeah.

Norris: Nice shot J.D.

Me: Thanks Norris.

Copper: You okay there?

Me: Yeah. It's gonna take a lot more than just bullets to kill me. Immortality and invincibility has its perks.

Copper: You're really something J.D.

Later we took Blair and we were gonna keep him in the Tool Shed. We had the tool shed boarded up.

Norris: What about your shack MacReady?

MacReady: I don't want him in my shack. We'll lock him in the tool shed.

We put him in the shed despite the blistering cold.

Copper injected him with morphine.

Blair: Why am I in here?

Copper: For your own protection Blair.

Me: We have to keep you in here now Blair. You've gone insane and you became a danger to everyone around you and to yourself.

Blair: I don't know who to trust.

MacReady: I know what you mean Blair. Trust is very hard to come by these days.

Lincoln: Especially with The Thing running around.

Me: Yep. How about you trust in the lord?

We regrouped.

Copper: And now the radio's gone.

Childs: And so are the choppers.

Copper: Ah we're completely cut off.

Garry: All we can do now is hold up till Spring and wait for the rescue team.

MacReady: No. We don't wait. Somebody in this camp ain't what he appears to be. Right now that may be one or two of us. By Spring, it could be all of us.

Me: The Thing can't become us. Our powers make us impervious to any outside infection or contamination.

Childs: That's really something.

Kate L.: It is.

Childs: So how do we know who's human? If I was an imitation, A perfect Imitation, How would you know if it was really me?

Me: I have a couple of tests we can do. Doc do you have a test in mind?

Copper: Well, yeah, possibly I've been thinking about a blood serum test.

Childs: What's that?

Copper: We could take a sample of each persons blood, we could mix it with uncontaminated blood. I suppose if there's a reaction, we'd know who isn't human.

Me: That test might work. And if it doesn't I can use my Omnitrix to scan for The Thing inside you and flush it out.

MacReady: Good idea. We'll go with the Doc's test first.

Me: Okay.

Fuchs: We've got whole blood in storage.

Garry: (Hands Copper some keys) Start working on that.

MacReady: Keep an eye on Clark. He was close to that dog.

Me: We'll keep our eyes peeled. I'm sorry Clark, but I'm afraid this is for your safety.

Clark: I understand.

MacReady: Lets do it.

Me: Okay.

Fuchs: Mac. We need Blair's help. He's the only one that knows this organism.

MacReady: He's too far gone Fuchs. But get the rest of his notebooks. Start going through them.

Me: Lisa and Kate can help you with this Fuchs.

Fuchs: Okay.

We got to work.

Fuchs and Copper went to the storage room and we found blood pouring out of a refrigerator. Fuchs opened it and saw that the blood packs have been ripped open!

Fuchs: Garry! Hey you guys! Come here!

We went to the storage room and we saw the blood was all over the floor.

Me: What happened?

Copper: Somebody got to the blood.

Norris: What!?

Childs: Where's Clark?

Clark: Right here.

MacReady: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Was this broken into?

Fuchs: No the lock is undamaged. Somebody opened it, closed it and then locked it.

Me: Looks like somebody tampered with it somehow.

MacReady: Who's got access to it?

Me: Usually Doc right?

Copper: Yes. I guess I'm the only one.

Garry: And I got the only key.

MacReady: Would that test have worked, Doc?

Copper: Oh I think so yes.

Kate L.: I think it would've worked too.

Norris: Somebody else sure as hell thought so.

Me: Sounds like the Thing doesn't want to be exposed.

Lisa: That could be a logical assumption.

Me: Kate, you tried to think up a test to see who wasn't human at Thule Station right?

Kate L.: Yes. But it was sabotaged and the lab was set on fire.

Lincoln: Sounds like this Thing is that crafty.

Nico: No kidding.

MacReady: No shit. Well who else could've used that key?

Garry: Nobody! I just give it to Copper whenever he needs it.

MacReady: Could anybody have gotten it from you, Doc?

Copper: I don't see how. As soon as I'm finished, I return it right away.

I sensed distrust building.

Windows: Great.

He started to back away in fear.

Fuchs: When was the last time you used it?

Copper: Day or so ago I guess.

Me: Garry, you gave Windows the keys when Bennings was killed right?

Garry: Yeah. I did. I suppose, somebody could've lifted it off me.

Childs: Oh, come on! That keyring of yours is always hooked to your belt!

Then everyone started yelling.

I broke them up.

Me: All right you guys! That's enough! I know you guys don't trust anybody now, but that's what this Thing wants. It causes fear, paranoia and distrust among everyone it comes into contact with.

Nico: J.D.'s right. We have to find out who's human somehow.

Me: And since the blood test is out of commission, we'll use my test.

Then we heard some clattering.

Garry: Windows!

Me: Uh oh!

Windows went down the hall and he got to a gun cabinet and kicked through the window and got a rifle. Garry had his gun pointed at him.

Garry: Put that down.

Windows: (Fearful) No!

Garry: I'll put this right through your fucking head!

Windows: You guys gonna listen to Garry? You're gonna let him give the orders? I mean he could be one of those Things!

MacReady: Wait a minute. Just take it easy, put the gun down. Put it down. Garry, you don't want to hurt anybody.

Garry: Right.

Me: Garry look at him. He's totally scared out of his mind. He's in a state of total fear. Now please. Lets just go with my test and then I'll flush out the Thing. Garry, I know you didn't go near that blood. But I have a feeling I know who did.

Garry then handed me his gun.

Me: First we got to burn the blood packs and the bad blood.

We did so.

We went into the Rec room and I had everyone in the Outpost but Blair tied down.

Me: I know this isn't right. But unfortunately it's what we have to do.

Garry: We understand.

MacReady: I know I'm human. If you were all these Things, then you'd just attack me right now. So some of you are still human. This Thing doesn't want to show itself. It wants to hide inside an imitation. It'll fight if it has to. But it's vulnerable out in the open. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won.

Me: Okay. I know you're all scared. But we can get through this if we work together. I'm going to scan you all with my Omnitrix and it'll look for the Thing inside you guys. If the light is green, that means you're clear. If it's red, that means you're the Thing.

MacReady: That's very genius.

Me: Okay. Here goes.

I fired a green scanning beam of light from the Omnitrix at Windows and a green light blinked.

Omnitrix: No alien DNA detected.

Me: Well that's good. You're clear Windows.

We untied him.

Me: Now for Nauls.

I scanned him and a green light blinked.

Me: Nothing. You're clear Nauls.

Nauls was untied.

Me: Mac now.

I scanned him and a green light blinked.

Me: You're clear Mac.

MacReady: I knew I was human.

Me: It's good you are. Okay, now for the Doc.

Childs: It's a crock of shit.

I scanned Copper and a green light blinked.

Me: Nothing. You're clear Doc.

We untied him.

Me: Now for Garry.

I scanned him and a green light blinked.

Me: Garry's clear.

Garry: I know that you all have been through a lot, but when you find the time I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!

Me: Okay okay Garry.

We untied him.

Me: Sheesh. Fucking temper. Fuchs is next.

I scanned him and a green light blinked.

Me: You're clear Fuchs.

We untied him.

Me: Childs is next.

I scanned him and a green light blinked.

Me: Negative. You're clear Childs.

We untied him.

Me: Only 4 left. Clark.

I scanned Clark and a green light blinked.

Me: Clear.

We untied him.

Me: Palmer now.

I scanned him and then a red light blinked.

Omnitrix: Alien DNA detected. Subject is Contaminated.

Me: Palmer's one of those Things!

Palmer then started shaking and then blood was pouring out of his face and his face swelled up and he broke out of the ropes and hit the ceiling and I blasted him with a powerful blast of fire and incinerated him!

Me: Yes!

Garry: Nice save J.D.

Me: Thanks. Norris is next.

I scanned Norris and the light blinked red.

Omnitrix: Alien DNA detected. Subject is contaminated.

Me: Norris is infected!

Norris then shook and his chest opened up.

Edzilla: (punches the Thing Monster) ED SMASH MONSTER!

He smashed it through the wall and I pulled out a stick of dynamite and lit the fuse and threw it. It blew the Norris-Thing apart!

KRABBOOOOMMM!

Me: That takes care of them.

Garry: Good work J.D.

Me: One more to cover. Blair. If he tries to make it back here and we're not with him, burn him.

We went out to the tool shed and I saw Blair sitting. I opened a window in the door.

Me: Hey Blair. Just need a couple seconds with you.

I scanned Blair. The Omnitrix blinked red.

Omnitrix: Alien DNA detected. Subject is contaminated.

Me: He's infected!

Blair: Very clever flushing me out fool!

Me: Wait. How come you aren't changing yet?

Blair: I want to explain myself first.

Me: We're all ears.

Blair: The reason my kind crashed here on this wretched planet 100,000 years ago is because I was waiting and I formulated a plan to get out of this frozen wasteland and infect everything on this wretched planet and turn everyone into Things like me.

Me: What you are doing will cause the ultimate destruction of the entire human race!

Blair: They are a flawed species and now we will deliver our judgement onto this planet as soon as we get out of here!

Nico: That's Omnicide!

Me: Who is we?

Blair: Me and the Thing inside me.

Me: So that's it. The Thing virus transforms a lifeform into a carrier!

Kate L.: I was right. If it did make it out of here, everyone would die.

Me: They would become carriers. Now we're gonna make sure that doesn't happen "BLAIR". We're sending you to hell!

Kate L.: I've been waiting a long time for this!

Me: 37 years too long. Lets get him!

Nico: You Things have failed this universe!

We went at The Blair Thing and it transformed into a huge monstrosity!

Me: WHAT THE FUCK!

Lincoln: This creature is ugly!

Me: We've seen uglier creatures than this.

We blasted it and I fired a powerful blast of fire and burned it.

Lincoln fired a massive blast of lightning and electrocuted it. MacReady, Childs and Kate fired flamethrowers and fire blasts at the Blair-Monster and it was burning him all over. Lola fired a powerful blast of fire and Linka and Earth fired lightning and globs of lava at the creature. It roared in pain and it had tentacles grow out and they went out at us and we dodged them and slashed them and burned them.

Me: Lets finish him with some teamwork!

G1 Cliffjumper: Right boss! CYBER KEY POWER!

The Autobot Cyber Planet Key went into his arm and it enhanced his blasters and hand blasters 100-fold.

Kairi: Time for some action! DISNEY KINGDOM CYBER KEY POWER!

The Disney Kingdom Cyber Planet Key went into her right arm device and it enhanced her Keyblade powers 100-fold.

G1 Cliffjumper and Kairi: LIGHTLASER FIRESTORM BLAST!

G1 Cliffjumper and Kairi fired powerful laser and light blasts and they hit the Blair Monster and burned it all over in a massive explosion.

KRABBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!

Poison Ivy: Lets get him! ANIMATRON CYBER KEY POWER.

The Animatron Cyber Planet Key went into her right arm device and enhanced her plant powers 100-fold.

Blot: Lets get him! CYBER KEY POWER!

The Animatron Cyber Planet Key went into his right arm and enhanced his corrosive gun 100-fold.

Poison Ivy and Blot: POISON ACID DISINTEGRATION!

Poison Ivy and Blot fired a powerful stream of acid and burned him all over.

Me: Lets finish him with final smashes! But first lets see how many aliens and creatures you are and what they are.

I scanned the Blair Monster and my Omnitrix revealed a shocking revelation!

Omnitrix: 10,232,453 unknown DNA samples acquired. Scan complete.

Me: WHOA! Over 10 million Aliens!? HOLY FUCK!

Nico: That's incredible! And I thought the Animorphs knew a lot of aliens.

Lori: They know 15,000+ Aliens.

Fuchs: Looks like Blair was not even close about his findings.

Me: No kidding. This has to be the most aliens one creature is composed of.

Lori: How is that literally possible!?

Me: No idea.

Bella: That's incredible. This Thing is all those aliens all in one.

Bella got the same number of aliens as well.

Riley: That is amazing.

Laney: It sure is.

Me: Now lets finish it!

Tanya: You are never going to infect us! SAPPHIRE DRAGON FIRESTORM!

Tanya fired a massive blast of blue fire and it turned into a powerful dragon of blue fire and it slammed into the Blair Monster and exploded.

KRABBBOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!

Lincoln: Lets fry this monstrosity. LIGHTNING DART PIERCE!

Lincoln fired a powerful blast of lightning and it skewered the Blair Monster all the way through him!

Qin: Lets fry his ass! KOMODO FIRESTORM BURN!

Qin fired a powerful blast of fire and it turned into a deadly Komodo dragon and burned the Blair Monster.

MacReady: You helped us so I'll give you a swift death. MOLOTOV COCKTAIL BURN!

MacReady threw a molotov cocktail and it hit the Blair Monster and burned it.

Kate L.: This is for all of my friends that you all killed! FIRESTORM SPIRIT NIGHTMARE!

Kate summoned a bunch of fire spirits that looked like her friends at Thule Station and they slammed into the Blair Monster and burned it.

Me: Now for the Grand Finale. Kate, Mac?

Kate: Lets do it!

Me, Kate and Mac: YEAH FUCK YOU TOO!

We fired a powerful energy blast and it hit the Blair Monster and exploded with incredible power.

KRABBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!

The Blair Monster was obliterated in an instant.

Me: That takes care of him.

Lincoln: There. It's finally dead.

Me: Yep. But we're not done yet. We got to destroy the Alien Spaceship that the Thing came in.

Kate L.: Right.

We repaired the helicopter and set out for the sight of the Alien Spaceship.

We arrived at the ship. We saw that it was a flying saucer type ship.

Me: It's a flying saucer ship.

Nico: Interesting mechanics.

Kate L. Oh god. Last time I was here it was in an ice cave, not a crater.

Me: Something must've moved it. Lets go see what the inside looks like.

We went down and we went into the ship. We walked around the ship and what we saw was amazing. It was an incredible alien spaceship loaded with all kinds of alien technology the likes of which we have never seen before. We found some holographic logs, but they were all in an alien language that no one can understand. I translated them and saw that The Thing was supposedly an experiment designed as a biological weapon. But it went horribly wrong and it caused the ship to crash land on Earth as a result.

Me: Whoa! Whatever these aliens were, they were really playing with fire.

Lincoln: No kidding. They created a horrifying monster!

Me: Composed of 10,000,000+ different aliens. Very complicated stuff.

Lisa: Indeed. This is all a magnificent feat of genetic science.

Lola: It sure is dangerous what they were doing.

Kate L.: I agree.

MacReady: We have to destroy all this.

Me: I agree Mac. We can't let all this get into the wrong hands or it'll be catastrophic.

We went out of the ship. We looked at it.

Me: You will never terrorize the universe again! (Cups Hands to Side) KAAAAAAA! MEEEEEEEEE! HAAAAAAAA! MEEEEEEEEE! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I fired a powerful Kamehameha Wave at the ship and it hit it and the whole ship exploded in a massive and powerful explosion.

KRABBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!

The Whole Ship was completely destroyed and obliterated into nothing in an instant. When the smoke cleared, there was nothing left of the ship.

Me: That takes care of that.

Kate L.: My nightmare is finally over.

Kate then looked at me and hugged me and she broke down crying hard and her cries were full of sadness and grief. I hugged her as she was crying.

Me: It's okay Kate. It's okay. Just let it all out.

I was comforting her. She was crying hard after everything she went through. She was wailing hard and her crying was making our hearts hurt. She went through a horrifying nightmare that was worse than 100,000 Hells put together. It was a nightmare no one ever wants to experience in 250,000 lifetimes.

Mac and the survivors of Outpost 31 went with us. The nightmare of The Thing had been erased from all of existence forever.

Kate L.: (To the viewers) If you plan on going down to Antarctica, make sure that there are no horrifying alien monsters that are shapeshifting creatures with you there.

Me: Good advice Kate.

MacReady: Thanks for saving all of us J.D.

Me: Anytime Mac.

Nico: The Thing has failed this whole universe.

Me: It sure has Nico.

Nico also caught a Tapu Lele and Tapu Bulu.

Kate's friends at Thule Station have been avenged. Clark's dogs were now our dogs too. I love huskies and malamutes and they are cute.

THE END

Another Fanfiction Complete and Part 2 of The 13 Days of Horror Saga done.

The Thing has been a really horrifying movie that scared me really bad ever since I first saw it. When I was 18 I was so terrified of it that it sent me into these terrible panic attacks of pure fear. I got these really bad nightmares and they were awful! I saw both movies for The Thing from 1982 and in 2011 and everyone in that movie did a great job in both movies. The Thing Video Game from 2002 was really scary. I didn't play the whole thing, but it was really terrifying. The final boss at the end, the Cloud B4 Carrier was a huge and horrifically ugly monstrosity. But as I watched the movies again and again I got stronger in courage as I realized that it was not real. But I'm not scared of the movies anymore. NicoChan11 gave me the ideas for this one. Thanks man. Next for part 3 is The Blob from 1988. Prepare to face the OOZE OF CARNAGE! Let me know what you all think.

See you all next time.
