It's a cold, dark night in the isolated arctic research station where Class 1-A has been stationed for an unusual hero mission. Snowstorms rage outside, but inside the facility, it's eerily quiet except for the faint sounds of the wind. The mission was meant to be simple: protect the scientists and their work. However, things have taken a horrifying turn. The lights flicker as the students arrive at the dog pen after hearing terrifying noises. The air is tense as they discover the gruesome sight before them—one of the dogs is already dead, its body half-dissolved into a grotesque, unnatural form. Its body twitches as The Thing tries to mimic the dog, its flesh bubbling and splitting in horrific ways.

-Bakugo: "What the hell is that?!" His eyes widen in shock as he instinctively prepares an explosion in his hand, anger mixed with a hint of fear

-Todoroki: "It's not human... or anything we've ever seen before" He steps forward, readying his fire side to burn it before it fully transforms, eyes cold but alert

-Deku: "Everyone, stay back! We don't know what it’s capable of!" He activates One for All, his hands trembling slightly as he positions himself between the creature and his classmates

The creature lets out a horrifying, inhuman screech as its form starts to twist and expand, lashing out tendrils of malformed flesh. The air smells sickeningly of burnt hair and rot.

-Asui: "Ribbit, it’s evolving too quickly!" She leaps to the ceiling, trying to gain a vantage point, her tongue ready for any needed strikes

-Eijiro: "I’ll go in hard and fast!" He hardens his body, rushing toward the creature, but hesitates for a split second as it writhes violently

-Momo: "We need fire and isolation, quick! It could spread if we’re not careful." She quickly creates a flamethrower, her hands steady, though her expression is filled with focused concern
