"Yoohoo!"
The Doctor could hear Angie's voice.
"Angie…? Where…Are we?" He got up from what seemed to be a hospital bed.
"I don't know, actually. Atua is confused, too." Angie said. "Natsumi and Hajime aren't here with us, either."
"And neither is the TARDIS." The Doctor commented.
His vision became clearer and recognized where he and Angie were. They were in the infirmary of Hope's Peak Academy.
"We're at Hope's Peak. But…I don't remember we were heading there." The Time Lord thought.
Then, two teenagers entered the infirmary. One was a girl with short, dark brown, ahoge-d hair with a tint of green, and de-saturated green eyes. She was wearing a seifuku uniform and had a friendly look on her face.
The other, on the other hand, had and elegant and intimidating aura. He was tall (thanks to his very long legs). He had pale skin, lapis blue eyes with noticeably long eyelashes, and chin-length blonde canary yellow hair. He was wearing a black suit jacket over a white shirt, lapis blue crossover tie, black dress pants accessorized with a black belt and black dress shoes with a slight heel. They could tell that he was a rich person.
"Oh, thank goodness. You wake up." The girl said.

"Not all of them. That man is still unconscious." The noble commented. His tone was much colder than the girl's friendly one.
[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/94/60/7b/94607b8721d8e8edf7869e977c8ee670.jpg]
""That man"?" The Doctor and Angie said in unison. They looked at the third occupied bed and noticed that there was someone there.
The man woke up and the Doctor's eyes widened from the shock. He was a tall old man with huge eyebrows, he was wearing a navy blue Crombie coat with crimson lining and matching navy cardigan with a white collared shirt, midnight blue trousers, and black brogue boots.
That man was one of the Doctor's previous incarnations: the Twelfth Doctor.
"Where…" He said in a Scottish accent. Then, he looked at the current Doctor (the Sixteenth one) in confusion.
"Good to see you again, myself." the Sixteenth Doctor said.
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
"So, mind telling us who you are?" The young nobleman said.
"I'm Nagito Komaeda, the Super High School-Level Lucky Student. You may call me Doctor."
The Twelfth Doctor showed his psychic paper.
"John Smith, Former Super High School-Level Magician." Komaru read.
"Magician? This is the first time." The Twelfth Doctor mumbled.
"I'm Komaru Naegi. I'm also the Super High School-Level Lucky Student." Komaru introduced herself.
"The name's Byakuya Togami, Super High School-Level Heir, you're inside Hope's Peak Academy, or at least, what remains of it."
"What do you mean?" The Sixteenth Doctor asked.
"Oh~? Who are you guys?" An annoying voice spoke, then, a black and white bear with a red eye.
"Is that a bear?" Angie asked.
"Not a bear, a robot that looks like a bear." The Twelfth Doctor corrected the native girl.
"I'm not a robot! I'm Monokuma!" Monokuma said.
"He's our kidnapper, and the host of this Killing Game." Byakuya explained.
"Killing Game?" The trio said in unison, with tones varying from innocently curious to horrified and disgusted.
"Thaaaat's right! The Killing School Life, a game of chills, thrills and kills!" Monokuma said.
"What is he talking about?" The Sixteenth Doctor asked.
"If we want to leave this school…We have to kill someone." Komaru explained.
Monokuma looked at the three strangers.
"Hmm…You look interesting, especially you two, Gramps and Space Hobo!" They said.
"Gramps?!" The Twelfth Doctor was offended. "So I'm the gramps now…"
"So, Congratulations! You are now participants of the Killing School Life!"
"What if we refuse?" the Twelfth Doctor asked.
"Huh? You'll be punished, simple!" Monokuma bluntly said.
"We accept your rules." the Sixteenth Doctor hinted at his former incarnation to back off, which he did.
"Alright! These are your E-Handbooks with the school regulations!" Monokuma gave the E-Handbooks to the trio.
The Sixteenth Doctor turned it on to check it.
"There's a map of the building and all the files regarding the students…Including us." he thought.
"Now, if you excuse me, I have to go! Have fun!"
"Wait-!" the two Doctors tried to stop Monokuma who disappeared in an instant.
"Guess you're stuck here like us now…" Komaru said with a saddened tone.
"Welcome to Hell." Byakuya said seriously. "Naegi, showed them the school. Meet us with the others at the Cafeteria."
"Okay!" Komaru smiled. "Follow me, guys!"
"Hold on, can I talk with him for a moment in private?" the Sixteenth Doctor asked, pointing at the Twelfth one.
"Huh? Sure!" she said. "I'll wait outside." Komaru left, leaving the Sixteenth Doctor and Angie alone with the Twelfth Doctor.
"So…Why and how are you here?" the Sixteenth Doctor asked with a fake smile.
"I'm just passing through." the Twelfth Doctor said.
"Sure you're not. How can you be here?" the Sixteenth Doctor asked again.
"Doctor, who is he?" Angie asked, while analyzing with her eyes the Twelfth Doctor. "Wow, his eyebrows are so big!"
"Hey, stop staring at my eyebrows!" the Twelfth Doctor said, a tad annoyed. "But still, who are you?" He turned to the Sixteenth Doctor.
In response, the teen-looking Doctor showed his sonic screwdriver. "Angie, this man is me from the past. Hello, number 12.
The Twelfth Doctor was surprised and a tad unimpressed by the reveal. "So, another me? I'll look this young in the future?"
"Yup."
"I presume she's your companion?" the white-haired man pointed at Angie.
"Yeah, I have other two companions, but I don't know where they are. How about you? How did you arrive here?"
"That's…A good question. I was regenerating inside my TARDIS and then…I found myself here."
"Regenerating?" Angie tilted her head.
"Oh, it's just a thing I can do when I die, it's like reincarnating." the Sixteenth Doctor said. "By the way, the first thing we have to do now is to find a way out and find my TARDIS. Let's go to the Cafeteria, those students could help us."
The trio left the nursery and reached the Cafeteria.
"Guys, these three are Nagito, John and Angie! They're in our same situation, let's get along with them" Komaru said.
"It took you a long time." Byakuya said.
"Nice to meet you, guys!" a brown-haired tanned girl spoke. She had blue eyes and was wearing blue dolphin hotpants and green sneakers, a white tank top, showing that she was very endowed in the chest department, and a red tracksuit jacket with white piping. Her hair was also tied into a high ponytail. "It's great to see new faces!"

Aoi Asahina
SHSL Swimmer
"O-Other people? W-Weren't we the only ones inside this s-school?" A girl with long purple hair kept in two braids spoke. She had gray eyes, round glasses and was wearing a typical purple Japanese school uniform with a noticeable long skirt.
[https://cdn.donmai.us/original/23/da/23dafa3235009a887caceaf0e702858a.jpg]
Touko Fukawa
SHSL Writing Prodigy
"That is a good question." a lavender-haired girl spoke monotone. She had purple eyes and was wearing a dark purple collared blazer jacket with six brown buttons over a zipped up long-sleeved white blouse and brown tie with a bird-like symbol on it. She also wears a black short skirt, heeled knee-high black boots with equally knee-high light purple socks.

Kyoko Kirigiri
SHSL Detective
"Hmm…Maybe they found a way out! Or maybe…They're aliens!" a young man with brown hair styled in locs spoke. He was wearing a green Japanese male uniform jacket on his shoulders, an open button down white shirt, a small yellow short-sleeve shirt, a brown haramaki and uses a yellow rope as his belt to hold up his large black pants that are rolled up past his ankles.
Yasuhiro Hagakure
SHSL Clairvoyant
"Well, he's not wrong." The Twelfth Doctor whispered to his future self.
"Nagito, Angie, John, meet Aoi Asahina, Kyoko Kirigiri, Touko Fukawa and Yasuhiro Hagakure!" Komaru introduced her friends.
"I suppose they're the only people other than us to be inside this school." The Sixteenth Doctor said.
"Indeed, we, along with the Mastermind, are the only alive people inside Hope's Peak Academy." Kyoko said.
"We need to have more information so, tell us about the Killing Game." The Twelfth Doctor asked.
"We were 15 at the start. Everyone arrived here in the same way, we entered the main hall, we fainted and woke up in a classroom." Byakuya said.
"Then, Monokuma arrived and the Killing Game commenced. One of us, Sayaka Maizono, the SHSL Pop Sensation, was the first victim…" Komaru continued, her tone seemed to become more saddened when she pronounced Sayaka's name.
"We developed friendships here, but some of them were short-lived thanks to Monokuma…" Aoi said, nearly in tears remembering some of her friends dying either murdered or executed by the monochromatic bear.
Then, the Sixteenth Doctor headpatted Komaru and Aoi, causing her to blush.
"I'm sorry that we couldn't stop this." He said. "But don't worry, there will not be another murder now that we are here."
"H-Huh?" Komaru and Aoi were confused.
"S-Sure…How do you t-think you can a-achieve that?" Touko asked, not trusting the two Doctors.
"Simple, because we're gonna make you all leave this place without spilling any of your blood." The Twelfth Doctor said.
"R-Really?!" Yasuhiro asked, hopeful. "How?"
"We have a plan." The Sixteenth Doctor said.
"We have one too: We must find out the Mastermind's identity." Kyoko said.
"Do you have any clues?" the Twelfth Doctor asked.
"Right after the previous Trial, Komaru and I challenged the Mastermind: If we find out his identity, we'll be set free. If we don't, we'll be executed." the detective said.
"Did you make any progress?" the Sixteenth Doctor asked.
"We know that solving the murder of Mukuro Ikusaba will lead to them." Byakuya said.
"Who?" the Two Doctors and Angie asked in unison.
"It appears that there was a 16th student here at Hope's Peak. That person was Mukuro Ikusaba, the SHSL Soldier and the victim of this case. On your E-Handbook there's a file with the information."
the Sixteenth Doctor checked the file named "Monokuma File" and opened it.
The file stated:
"The victim is Mukuro Ikusaba. Due to severe injuries suffered by the explosion, the body's identity is unclear. The explosion occurred after the victim's death. The knife wound in the abdomen area extends all the way to the victim's back. There is just one wound caused by the knife. There are also signs of a blow to the back of the head. It seems to have been caused by a cylindrical object, about as thick as a metal pipe. Other than that, there are signs of many other wounds on the body. However, they are old wounds that were not inflicted during the last few days."
Specifically, the line "However, they are old wounds that were not inflicted during the last few days." caught his attention the most.
"Because of the challenge, every room in the school has been unlocked: The Second floor of the dorms and the Headmaster's office." Kyoko explained.
"Good. Long legs, PE girl, Weedman and I will go to the Headmaster's office. Artist girl, Detective, and glasses, and…Normal girl will go with Nagito." the Twelfth Doctor said.
"P-PE girl?!" Aoi was surprised by her new nickname.
"What's with those nicknames?" Byakuya said.
"I'm too busy finding a way out than remembering your names! Now go!"
the group split up.
The Twelfth Doctor's group wasn't that lucky with the clues, other than finding out a report with all the students' body measurements, Mukuro included.
Meanwhile, the Sixteenth Doctor's group entered the second floor of the dorms and was already shocked at the sight. Everything was destroyed.
"Oh my god…" Komaru said.
"W-What happened h-here?!" Touko asked.
"Looks like a terrorist attack happened here." The Sixteenth Doctor commented.
"Let's continue." Kyoko said.
The group continued and entered the locker room. Unfortunately, all of the lockers were locked.
Then, they entered a room. It had more of a mature look compared to the students' dorms.
"This must be the Headmaster's dorm room." The Sixteenth Doctor said.
"I-It's more m-mature than our d-dorms." Touko said.
"Indeed." Kyoko immediately went for the PC on the desk. "There are informations on this PC, but I can't find out the password."
The Sixteenth Doctor used his sonic screwdriver on the PC and got unlocked. "There you go."
Kyoko was surprised but went to the PC and opened the files.
"Most of these files talk about a certain "SHSL Despair" organisation, it says that they caused havoc across the world and tained with Despair, the Headmaster was investigating too, since a member of the SHSL Despair was among Hope's Peak's student body."
"Guys, look!" Komaru pointed at a wall that was now leading to a hidden passage.
"Ah, brilliant!" The Sixteenth Doctor smiled.
The group entered inside a grey hidden and dusty room
"It's empty…" Komaru said.
"A-And dusty-" Touko sneezed, and then started maniacally laughing. "KYAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
"Touko, what's wrong?"
"Oh, who's the new pretty boy? He's so cute I want to cut him to pieces!" "Touko" said.
"Don't worry, Touko has DID." Komaru explained.
"And you say that with nonchalance?" the Sixteenth Doctor said.
"We got used to it." Kyoko said.
"...Anyway, what's that?" The Doctor pointed at a CD.
"It says, "Class 78's Interviews"." Angie read.
"We can use it on the PC." Kyoko said.
The Sixteenth Doctor put the CD on the player.
The video played, depicting a dark-haired man in his early 40s and a blue-haired girl wearing a seifuku uniform.
"That's the Headmaster!" the Sixteenth Doctor said.
"That's Sayaka!" Komaru said.
"Who, the idol?" the Doctor asked.
"She's our classmate, too! I'm a Sayaker, I love her songs!" Komaru said.
"Yeah, too bad she's DEAD! KYAHAHAHAHAH!" Touko said.
"Quiet, Syo." Kyoko said coldly.
The Doctor continued watching the video: Every participant of the Killing School Life was inside of the video, except for two students.
"...Curious, Junko and Mukuro Ikusaba are missing from the video." Kyoko commented.
"Isn't Mukuro Ikusaba the victim of this case?" the Doctor said.
"Correct, both of them are, according to Monokuma, our classmates." the Detective said. "The fact that their interviews had been cut is awfully suspicious…"
Suddenly, Monokuma spoke through the monitors:
"Everyone shall be summoned to the gym for a hint! Including our two special guests!"
"What does he want now?" Kyoko said.
"I'll go first, you guys keep investigating." the Doctor said.
Later, the Sixteenth Doctor arrived at the gym. The Twelfth Doctor was also there.
"Oh, hello, Twelve. Found anything?" the Sixteenth Doctor said.
"We found data about the victim and the place where the dead bodies are stored." The Twelfth Doctor said. "And you?"
"We found that CD with the interviews of the students with the Headmaster. Weirdly, only two interviews were cut."
"Guess we had some success in our investigation, let's see what that bear wants." The white-haired Scotsman said.
The two Doctors entered the gym and Monokuma was already there.
"Ah, welcome! Here's your little hint!" Monokuma said, giving the Sixteenth Doctor a letter.
He opened it, only one message was on it:
"Look for the Headmaster".
"Look…For the Headmaster?" The Twelfth Doctor said, confused.
"I wonder what it means." the Sixteenth Doctor commented.
Meanwhile, every participant of the Killing Game received the hint by Monokuma.
Then, the time expired, it was now time for the Class Trial.
Everyone entered the elevator that brought them to the courtroom.
They disposed themselves in a circle and the Class Trial began.
"Alright, since this is the final Class Trial, I've come up with a special rule!" Monokuma said. "If you can figure out Mukuro's killer, and go on to solve the mystery of this school, you win! If you don't, then I win!"
"...I have a serious question for everyone." Yasuhiro said, then he showed a photo depicting all of the participants of the Killing Game, him excluded. "You're all working for the Mastermind, aren't you?!"
"You're the one to talk. It is clear that everyone here except me had been working for the Mastermind, by looking at the photo it was given to me." Byakuya said.
"Huh? I have a similar photo too!" Komaru said.
"Me too!" Aoi said
"M-Me too…" Touko said, now returned to normal.
"Huh? What does that mean?!" Yasuhiro was confused, as Monokuma laughed.
"Tsk, Pudding Brains, the moment they have a potential sign of betrayal that they immediately backstab each other. Crazy idea: How about, maybe, Monokuma lied to you?" the Twelfth Doctor said.
Silence fell.
"Come on, were you seriously trusting a maniacal black-and-white bear, who also kidnapped you all and made you massacre each other, and not your friends?" the Scotsman said.
"It was obvious that Monokuma made those fake photos to confuse you all." the Sixteenth Doctor said.
"Fake? Sorry but, I can assure you that those photos are 100% real." Monokuma said.
"Nonsense, I do not remember someone taking a picture of me."
"Neither do I!" Aoi said.
"But…What if we forgot about it?" Komaru proposed.
The students were confused.
"Interesting theory, Komaru, go on." The Sixteenth Doctor asked.
"While investigating, I found a locker on the 2nd floor of the Dorms. I found these notebooks, and the handwritings coincides with both Kyoko's and Yasuhiro's." Komaru said. "The content of Kyoko's notebook is particularly disturbing…"
Komaru read the text:
"A plan to turn Hope's Peak Academy into a shelter for the students where they could live together. The ideator is the Headmaster, my father. Despair is among us, there in two…"
"That confirms even more Komaru's theory: You all lost your memories and, to prove it even more, I found this." the Sixteenth Doctor pulled out a CD. "It contains your interviews with the Headmaster. I presume none of you remember even meeting him."
All the students shaked their heads.
"In every interview, he asked the students if they wanted to spend the rest of their lives inside the school, you all accepted."
"We…Did what?!" Yasuhiro said.
"So, it's official that you all lost your memories. Now, let's talk about the Mastermind's identity." the Twelfth Doctor said. "It's one of you, guys."
The students were shocked.
"H-How can you s-say t-that?!"
"At the start of the Killing Game there were 16 students and now 6 are alive. Question: If 10 students died and only 6 survived, why are there only 9 corpses in the obitory? Answer…" the Twelfth Doctor said.
"Someone we thought was dead didn't actually die." Byakuya continued.
"Now that I think of it, her wounds are identical to the way Junko was killed." Kyoko said.
"S-So, the culprit is Mukuro Ikusaba?" Touko asked.
"No, that's wrong." Komaru said. "I was…Attacked by the culprit. Mukuro had a tattoo on her right hand while my aggressor didn't have any."
"It could be Kyoko, then! She always wear gloves, after all-"
Kyoko interrupted Monokuma by removing her gloves, showing that her hands were burnt.
"I presume that now I cannot be the culprit, aren't I? I had those scars when I started my job as a Detective, a rookie error." Kyoko said.
"So, it's official: The Mastermind is Junko Enoshima, the SHSL Fashionista." Byakuya announced.
"Really? What are your proofs?"
"In every photo you gave to us, one face was always hidden: Junko's face, so that we wouldn't notice about the swap." Komaru said.
"S-Swap?!" Aoi and Yasuhiro said.
"Devilish, you made her use your name so that we couldn't notice her identity, weaponising our amnesia." Byakuya said.
"Thus, Junko Enoshima is the Mastermind of the Killing School Life." Kyoko said.
Monokuma stopped talking.
"What? Cat got your tongue?" Byakuya taunted.
"But there's something weird: One hint doesn't come up: "Look for the Headmaster…What does it mean?" the Sixteenth Doctor said.
"Oh, Doctor…You can really be slow sometimes, can't you?" Monokuma spoke.
When Monokuma called him "Doctor" the two incarnations had an epiphany.
"No…" the Sixteenth Doctor said.
"It can't be…" the Twelfth Doctor said.
"Oh, it can be, it's very much is. You see, I did wrote "Look for the Headmaster", or should I say…"
Monokuma disappeared and a girl with light blue eyes, a very large bust, long, thick, bleached strawberry-blonde hair tied in two twin pigtails wearing a black cardigan over a white dress shirt, with both left open to the third button to expose the top of her black-and-red bra, a red pleated miniskirt that is cut extremely short, and mid-sized black boots with platform heels and red laces.
[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/19/cb/72/19cb72bd0ebfd73870830eaefbc2733a.jpg]
"Head…Master?" the "Head Master" spoke.
Silence fell, as the students were confused, the two Doctros were staring at the Mastermind with shock and terror.
----------------------------------------
Meanwhile Natsumi slowly regained her senses, as she heard a voice calling her.
"Hey, are you okay? Can you stand?" he said.
"Doctor…?" she thought, hearing a familiar voice. Her vision became clearer and saw that it wasn't her Doctor. It was a short teenage boy with green-ish eyes, spiky brown hair and a prominent ahoge. He was wearing a green-red-black dirty coat and red sneakers.
"Who the hell are ya?" she asked.
The boy responded:
"I'm the Doctor, nice to meet you."
