"I'm the Doctor." a short young man with spiky brown hair spoke.
"Like hell you are!" Natsumi said, not recognising him at all to "her" Doctor.
"What...Do you mean?" "the Doctor" was confused.
"You're definitely not the Doctor! Where is he, and where are we?"
"Uh...I don't know what are you talking about, but we're in Tokyo, or atleast, we it remains of." the Doctor said.
Natsumi looked around and was horrified at the sight. The sky was dark red from the pollution, every building was damaged and hordes of Monokumas and Cyberkumas were killing/converting people.
"What the hell...? What happened?!" she said.
"The Tragedy happened."
"The...What?"
"You...Seriously don't know about The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History?"
"...No, how did it happened?"
"Well, it's a series of unrest and violence that spread Despair across the World. It all started at Hope's Peak Academy, with the massacre of its Student Council and the murder of a girl..."
"Huh? What girl?"
"If I recall correctly...Her name was Natsumi Kuzuryu."
"...Come again?" Natsumi was flabbergasted.
"As I said, her name was Natsumi Kuzuryu." The Doctor repeated. "Oh, my bad, I didn't asked your name. What's your name?"
"...Natsumi Kuzuryu."
The Doctor went silent. How is that possible that she was Natsumi? Did she faked dying or it's a timey-wimey thing?
Unfortunately for him, his train of thoughts were interrupted by a door slam.
A horde of Androids with the appearance of a black and white bear with a red eye entered in the room.
"HUMAN-LIFE-FORM-LOCATED. DO-NOT-WORRY. YOU-WILL-BE-UPGRADED." one of the androids said.
"What the hell are they?!" Natsumi was scared as hell.
"Cyberkumas, they want to turn you like them! Now, RUN!" The Doctor took Natsumi's hand as they jumped out of the balcony to another.
The Cyberkumas followed them, while the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver on a eletrical cabinet to make it explode, killing some Cyberkumas.
The two managed to arrive to the roof, where the Doctor's TARDIS waited. The two entered inside and the box started flying, running over a horde of Cyberkumas.
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
Inside the TARDIS, Natsumi noticed that the interior was pretty much the same, only that it looked...Dirtier.
"It's dirty here." Natsumi commented.
"I know, since the Tragedy started, I hadn't the time to clean up this place."

"...You said that I was dead, didn't you?"
"Well, yeah. Or at least, that's what I thought." the Doctor said, while scanning Natsumi with his sonic screwdriver. "Hmm, nothing alien here, you're just 100% human."
"Of course I am, ya idiot!"
"But...It doesn't make any sense, you're dead, I even saw your corpse in the morgue...How can you be here? You're not from the past, are you?"
"I don't know and I don't care! I need to find my friends, and quickly!"
"How do they look like?"
"Well...They're both tall guys. One has spiky brown hair with an ahoge and the other is a creepy guy with messy white hair and is dressed like a hobo."
"...These two description seem familiar. Hold on, I need to check a place." the Doctor pushed down the lever of the TARDIS and it dematerialised.
----------------------------------------
the TARDIS rematerialised inside of a building in the middle of a deserted island.
"Where are we?" Natsumi asked.
"I need to check a report, maybe I can find your friends."
Natsumi looked around the place and saw on a desk an emblem depicting a stylized globe with "U.N.I.T." written on it.
"Hold on a second...Do ya work for UNIT?"
"Well, not really. But here there is something that can help us, perhaps."
The Doctor shows his ID to the guard and let him and her companion in.
The two arrived at a computer. The Doctor booted it up and the AI spoke.
"Good morning, identify yourself."
"The Doctor."
"Welcome back, Doctor. How can I help you?" the AI asked.
"I need to find two people by an identikit. "
"Sure. What does the person look like?"
"Tall, white messy hair and grey-ish eyes. Teenager, Japanese. Wears, hobo-looking clothes" The Doctor wrote. "The second one is tall, brown spiky hair with ahoge, yellow-ish eyes. Teenager, Japanese, wears a black suit usually."
The computer elaborated.
"I found two results. The first identity is:"
An image appeared on the screen.

"Nagito Komaeda, "The Servant", member of the SHSL Despair."
"That's him! That's the Doctor!" Natsumi said. "Wait...SHSL Despair? What is it talking about? He's the SHSL Lucky Student!"
"I knew it. The description seemed familiar." The Doctor said.
"Here's the second identity:"
Another image appeared.

Izuru Kamukura, SHSL Hope, probable member of the SHSL Despair.
"Is that...Is that Hajime?!" Natsumi was confused and horrified. Her friends were terrorists that destroyed the world? And...What in the tarnation happened to Hajime?
"What's with the red eyes and the long ass hair? SHSL "Hope"? He ain't a Main Course student! And what kind of talent is "Hope"?!" The Yakuza princess had more questions than answers.
"This is weird. A girl we thought was dead comes back from the dead, has no memories about the Tragedy and seems to know me...Maybe...?"
The Doctor thought profusely.

"I got it!" He exclaimed.
"What?!" Natsumi was surprised.
"You're from another universe!"
"I'm from what?"
"That would explain why you're still alive and you recognise Komaeda as "The Doctor", I probably have his face in your universe. Follow me!" The Doctor took Natsumi's hand and went in the TARDIS.
"O-Oi! Where are we going?"
"Simple! We're to use the TARDIS cognitive abilites to find your friends. Put your hands here and think of the person you want to find." The Doctor said.
Natsumi followed the advice and thought strongly about Hajime.
Then, the TARDIS dematerialised, making its groaning noise.
----------------------------------------
Hajime woke up inside an abadoned building, confused.
Everything around him wasn't lightened. Only for a figure for being visible.
He was tall and was wearing a black suit, nearly identical to Hope's Peak Reserve Course's uniform. He had comically long dark-ish hair and had glowing, red eyes.
"W-Who's there?" Hajime asked. "W-Who are you?"
The figure stepped in the light, showing that his face was the same as Hajime's.
"Perhaps I should ask the same question." He spoke, his voice was also the same as Hajime's, only that it was monotone, emotionless.
The brown-haired young man stared at his "doppelganger" in terror and confusion, not knowing what to do now.
