Marsala, Sicily, 10th of May 1860.
The TARDIS appeared in the place while inside of it the 3 time travellers were talking.
"There we are!" The Doctor said. "Marsala, Sicily, 1860! One day before the Expedition of the Thousands, the last act of the Italian Risorgimento!"

Hajime Hinata

"Bullshit." Natsumi said, who skeptical about the Doctor's words. "Komaeda, How is it possible that we're now in Sicily if we were in Japan just a second ago?!"

Natsumi Kuzuryu
Hope's Peak Academy Reserve Course Student and Hajime's crush friend.
"Well, why don't you go take a look outside?" the young (not really) man (neither) proposed.
The two were going to open the door but The Doctor stopped Natsumi.
"Hold on." he said.
"What?" Natsumi asked.
"Sorry but, you can't go in the town with those clothes." the Time Lord said.
"Hah? Why?"
"Well, if we really are in 1860, it's better for you to wear a longer skirt." the brown-haired young man spoke.
"Well, yeah. By the standards of 1860, it would be like you're naked if you go with a skirt that short. Follow me, I'm gonna show you where you can change your clothes."
The two humans followed eccentric alien down the stairs.
The Doctor gave Natsumi some clothes and pointed her to where she had to change her clothes.
Him and Hajime waited upstairs.
Some time passed, and Natsumi went upstairs with her new clothes.
It was a grey dress, which made her look like a princess.
"So...How do I look?" She asked, blushing.
"I...huh...You're..." Hajime was hypnotized and a bit embarrased from the girl's beauty that he couldn't find the proper words to comment.
"You look wonderful!" The Doctor said, happily. "See? Even your boyfriend likes it too, so don't be embarrased!"
Natsumi and Hajime exploded in a blush from The Doctor's statement.
"H-Hey! She is not my girlfriend!" The brown-haired young man complained.
"Oh, really? Aren't you two a couple?" The Doctor said.
"NO WE ARE NOT!" The two humans yelled in embarrased.
"Whoops, my bad!" The Time Lord said, chuckling. "Anyway, welcome to Sicily!" he opened the door and showed to the two human companions that they were really in 1860.
Marsala was a small town by the sea, the three so navies with various flag (such as the British Royal Navy's) and various people working.
Also, there were no traces of cars or anything modern.
"Wow..." Hajime was speechless.
"W-We're really in 1860..." Natsumi said, incredulous.
"See? Isn't that wonderful? Tomorrow, we'll see Giuseppe Garibaldi and his 1000 soldiers will march from here to Teano, where he'll meet King Victor Emmanuel II, the 1st King of Italy!" The Doctor said, as excited as a kid.
The three went for a walk in the city. Hajime and Natsumi were filled with happiness and enthusiasm from the fact that they were in the past.

"Come here, ladies and gentlemen!" A seller spoke. "Oranges made in Sicily, for only 150 tornesels!"
"Why is he speaking in Japanese?" Hajime asked.
"He's not speaking in Japanese, it's you that hear him speaking in Japanese." The Doctor explained. "The TARDIS translates every language for you and vice versa. So, if we speak to someone here, they'll hear we speaking in Italian, or rather, in Sicilian."
"I see, that's very useful." The brown-haired young man commented.
----------------------------------------
The evening arrived, the three decided to stay in a hostel and, during their wait, The Doctor involuntarily overheard an interesting conversation.
"I'm telling you, Marta! The demons are real! They want to destroy the city! They took our son, and they will take the city next!" A man spoke.
"Oh, cut it out with these things, Vincenzo. I'm sure Gaetano will be fine, he just need a good doctor." a woman spoke.
"Well, would you look at that, you have found one!" the Doctor butted into the conversation. "Hello, I am Dr. Nagito Komaeda, from Japan. These two are my assistants." the Time Lord showed to the couple a blank paper.
"See, dear? We have found a Doctor!" Marta said, happily.
"What are the Japanese doing here in Sicily? And since when do they speak Sicilian?" Vincenzo said, suspicious of the three travellers.
"Oh, we're on a simple journey, like Marco Polo, but in reverse. Anyway, I heard that your son is sick." The Doctor said.
"Oh, yes! follow us, Doctor."
Marta and Vincenzo led the way for time travelers to their house.
----------------------------------------
The three went to check Gaetano and what they saw in his room was terrifying (at least, for the two humans).
There was boy with red eyes tied to his bed, who was trying to free himself by moving.
"What the hell...?" Hajime said.
The Doctor approached the possesed boy. "Hello there, Gaetano." he said. "I am The Doctor."
"LET ME GO!" The "demon" demanded.
"Relax, we're soon going to free you. But first, I need you to answer some questions. What are you?"
"I AM THE GREAT SUNNAZATH! THE RULER OF CHAXELEA!" Sunnazath introduced himself.
"What is that?" Hajime whispered to Natsumi.
"How the fuck am I supposed to know?!" the Yakuza Princess answered, annoyed.
"Well then, Mr. Sunnazath, what happened to you?" the alien asked.
"I WAS ON MY PLANET, RULING IT WITH ALONG WITH MY FAMILY, UNTIL THOSE DAMNED DRAEVINS INVADED CHAXELEA AND BANNED US TO THIS MISERABLE PLANET AND USELESS ERA!"
"So, there are others in your same situation? Tell me, so I can help you."
"MY PEOPLE ARE IN MY SAME SITUATION. THEY ARE LOCATED IN THIS TOWN! FIND THEM, AND BRING THEM TO ME BY USING THIS, AND I WILL LEAVE THIS HUMAN BODY." Sunnazath gave a weird and suspicious sphere to the Time Lord.
"Well, then a deal is a deal! Natsumi! Hajime! Let's go!" The Doctor said.
The three left the house and started searching for the other "demons".
After two hours of work, they returned to Sunnazath.
"So, here's your pals. Now, fuck off!" Natsumi said.
The Doctor returned the sphere to the demon alien. Everything seemed fine until he absorbed it and started evil laughing.
The demon flied away and a blood-coloured tornado formed near the port.
"What's going on?!" Hajime asked, panicked.
"That bastard...He's going to the port!"
The Doctor and his companions ran to the port, where amounts of dead soldiers were laying on the floor, while the tornado was becoming stronger.
"You promised me that you would leave!" the Time Lord complained.
"I SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE LEFT THAT HUMAN BODY, NOT THAT I WILL BE AT PEACE. NOW, SINCE I'M FREE NOW, I SHALL CONQUER THIS FUTILE PLANET WITH MY ARMY!"
"Not if I stop you! I will not let you spread Despair across this hopeful planet! Especially during this period, where people make revolutions hoping for a better future for their countries, not on my watch!" The Doctor said, confident.
"Huh...Doctor?"
"What-Oh." The alien noticed that him and his companions were nearly surrounded by a horde of dead soldiers. "Well...What can I say...RUN!"
And so, they did. They hid in the coastal tower near the port. The Doctor locked the door by using his "sonic screwdriver" and flew upstairs.
"Running with this dress is so goddamn uncomfortable!" Natsumi complained, panting.
"So, what do we do now?" Hajime asked.
"I don't know." The Doctor chuckled.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN "YOU DON'T KNOW"?!" The two human companions yelled in unison.
"Relax, Relax! I usually come up in situations like this." The Time Lord tried to reassure his companions.
"Then, do it quickly!" The blonde girl ordered.
The Doctor watched the demon from the window, thinking of a plan until...
"Eureka!" he said. "The sphere we gave him...That's the core of the tornado! If we try to destroy it or simply steal it, we might stop it!"
"But...How?" the human boy asked.
"At the top of the tower there's a rope, you can use it as a vine to enter the eye of the storm and destroy the core. I will distract the demon and his zombies." The Doctor explained.
"Wait! You can't do that! It's too dangerous!" Hajime said, worried about his new alien friend.
"No need to worry. After all, even if it's a fake identity, I still am the Super High School Level Lucky Student. Now, go!"
The time travellers initiated the plan.
"Hey! Big guy!" The Doctor said to Sunnazath and his zombies. "Over here!"
The zombies started chasing the Time Lord as he run and laughs asthmatically.
Meanwhile, Hajime and Natsumi started with the second part of the plan.
"So, who wants to go inside that thing?" the girl asked.
"I'll do. My clothes are much more agile than yours." Hajime said, preparing himself for the act. "if I don't make it out alive, join the Main Course for me, okay?"
"Don't even say that as a joke. We'll get into that damn Course together, I promise!" Natsumi motivated her friend. "Now, good luck."
"Sigh...Natsumi is right, we're gonna join the Main Course togheter! I can do it! GERONIMOOOOOOOO!" Hajime threw himself with the rope towards the tornado, took the core and broke it on the ground and went away as fast as he could.
"MY CORE...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sunnazath said his last words and got sucked in the core. the sky turned blue once again.
"It's over..." Hajime sighed in relief.
Natsumi ran towards the young man and hugged him impulsively.
The two realized what they were doing, they blushed and broke the hug.
"Excellent work, guys!" The Doctor complimented his new companions. "We can finally rest now. Do you still want to see the Expedition of the Thousands or you want to go home?"
"Well...I suppose we can watch the landing." Hajime said.
And so they did, the next day, they saw Giuseppe Garibaldi and his troops arriving in the town, and helped him with the conquest (within certain limits, so that they would alter the timeline)
After that, they returned in the TARDIS.
----------------------------------------
"So, what do you think about this travel?" The Doctor asked.
"It was sure...something. I preferred we didn't saw aliens here." Hajime commented.
"How rude! I am an alien too, you know?" The Time Lord faked being offended, then he asthmatically laughed. "Anyway, where do you want to go next?"
"Home, I feel tired." Natsumi said.
"Really? I wanted to do another travel!" Hajime said, disappointed.
"That doesn't mean it's the end. As Nagito, I'm a Main Course student, so you know where to find me. Also, It's better if I take you home, I don't want to make Natsumi's brother angry!" The Doctor said. "So, off we go!"
The alien started the engines of the TARDIS and the time machine disappeared from 1860.
