The Thing Won, But FInds Out He Has Competition In Conquering Earth
The thing manages to beat the crew of the outpost. Then hitches a ride back to america. Only to find out he's not alone on the planet with just the humans. Whether it can naturally see them or actually found out through assimilating one. It has managed to find out that earth is under a secret invasion from the ghoul aliens.
So the stage is set, does the thing manage to infiltrate the alien ghoul society and eventually rule over them and assimilate them. Or will the thing get its own "this isn't your planet to conquer" moment.
