Copper-9 is a dead planet with the only remaining semblance of life being the non-biological Drones from the colonies. However, it once was a planet thriving with life, evident by the cities. Many scientists from all over the Earth and other human colonies across galaxies were in cryopods when the core of the planet exploded. However, one of those humans was not, well, human. What it was was an alien organism with a sole purpose to assimilate and mimic anything and everything biological lifeform on a planet. "The THING", a highly intelligent, strong, and hard-to-kill organism, had perfectly assimilated a person before being induced into a cryogenic slumber. However, as we know, the planet is dead, with no organic life. What will happen with its entire purpose is now stripped away from it, and it has to create a new one? As well as help the cast of murder drones against the other eldritch horror on the planet. Will the Thing, now known as y/n, help the cast against a fellow eldritch being, or will it join them? Find out. its the thing (IIIIINNNNN SPAAAAAAAAAAACE) (Obviously, all characters from murder drones belong to Glitch and Liam, respectively, as well as all the art, with the addition of John Carpenter's film rights of "The Thing," as well as any art I may use for the chapters.) (final note, if you're squeamish to body horror or just to any level of "Gore" then this story may not be for you because it's literally just the thing from the film, so there's going to be some of that in this story. not a lot but just a trigger warning y'all. With that, enjoy the story!)

The Pure Vessel, or The Vessel was the only one that of its siblings that was granted it's father's pride, while his siblings got sealed into their birthplace, the Abyss. For years it was taught the nail, and many other abilities, under the careful eye of its father, the Pale King, growing with the memories of the loss of its siblings clawing at his mind, but he kept it clear, hollow, just as he was taught. But, before it could fulfil it's purpose, and seal inside itself the blinging light, the ancient light. The Vessel as it took a walk through the garden of the White palace, he then felt the cold, and the harsh frozen winds, before he could see anything further, or understand what happened, he was in a snowing forest, and so it was stranded in a land, he didn't know. For a few days, almost a month, it wanderer this strange new yet, beauty land, finding beings he never seen. Will itself allowed the freedom of free think, to understand where it is now, or will it's hollow purpose be stronger then a voice that can't cry out suffering? (By the way, I don't own either Demons slayer, or Hollow knight, so I don't want any lawsuits, please. Have a nice read everyone.)
