Two eyelids flicker. A person lies on a hard floor. They feel uncomfortable. Their clothes are too big. Dazed, they get up, struggling to regain their strength. They grabbed onto something. A screen. With handles. They looked at the room around them. A weird analglamation of buttons and levers. With six sides, but that's odd. Railings. A hatstand. Two doors. Maybe that was the way out. But they glimpsed into the screen, and they were amazed. They saw a boy. A boy with chubby cheeks and a toothy grin. He was strong enough to make a summary of this...

"Ginger!"

DOCTOR WHO: THE FOURTEENTH DOCTOR

THE YOUNGEST ONE

EPISODE ONE

A beautiful dawn over Kowareta. Everything isn't as it should be. Kowareta was once a peaceful city and everyone got on. But due to some silly little mistake over financial investments of the town, it just... crumbled. That's the word for it. Although there are people trying to fix it, it's no use. But a girl thought she could do it. A simple, god-like girl. Playing with her weapons. She must be practising for something.

As war raged outside, ancient martial arts coming into effect, a man called for her, "Princess Kanda!" Kanda stopped playing with her sword, and rushed down the great, stone steps, and into a great stately hall, battered by the opposing forces attempting to destroy them. She bowed to what must be her father, "What do you request to share with me, Father?" Her father precisely bellowed, "I can hear you playing with those training weapons in your private quarters! If you are going to become honourable ruler of Kowareta in the coming years, you must find other ways to deal with such events, not just fight!" "Well then, how did you allow the financial crash to happen in the first place?" Kanda proudly explained, "Well, that was Monterio's decision, not mine." The King got out of his chair, and travelled up the great stone stairs. As he leaves, she kicks the wall furiously. But then, she looks out the window, and she can see the battle raging on. Many more she can see being destroyed.

Wait, the sky, in the sky, something travelling... A box. A blue box. It definitely wasn't a shadow. How could this be? It came down and down, and as it crashed to the ground, the girl felt the room take a slight jolt. She ran out the room.

The boy in the weird room felt the same way. He got up, having been thrown to the floor in the crash, and then brushed himself down, getting rid of the dust. He just flicks some of the weird buttons and levers, and the cracked screen pops up with a visual. A countryside, in the background, Kowareta at war. He looks at the readouts saying "TARDIS CRITICAL TIMING MALFUNCTION", confused, having just awaken, but understanding the machine. TARDIS? But then, he sees something else. It was the Princess Kanda, looking up at the object. He staggers helplessly towards the doors. He struggles with the lock, while Kanda sees the shadow in the windows, concerned and confused.

The doors slowly opened, and the boy peeps out, and his first assumption... "I'm ginger," Kanda just stared, open-mouthed. "I was asleep, one minute I was a blondie and the next, ginger!" the boy replied. Kanda just slowly nodded, "What do you mean? You can't change the colour of your honourable hair!" "What? But you can. It's either that or dying spray hasn't been invented yet..." the boy deducted, "I might be looking for somebody who can see to my weird and sticky injuires!" Kanda replied like he has just been brainwashed, "Well, it's obvious! All the medically trained soldiers in our area have been killed. I'm sorry, there's nothing they can do... Although..." Kanda thought for a moment, "I suppose I can take you in my palace." "Palace? You must be a princess! Greetings! I'm... Well, I don't know!" The boy stepped out and shut the TARDIS doors, "It's still a shame though, I'm looking for a Doctor..."

The mysterious Monterio was still unheard from during the action, and his army named the Kyōwatōs received no orders from him, so they were just left there, fighting every last one of their opposing side, the Ōritsuguns, until they were all decimated. However, there was one man who took commands and shared with the forces, a man called Commander Taeko. Taeko was secretly making his way through the stately home of Monterio to find him. Taeko entered the secret room, and was faced with a great shadowy figure with his back to the Commander. "What is thy bidding, O Great Leader?" Taeko whispered, then a great, firm voice boomed back, not facing him... "I demand your status report, I must not receive a visual of this monstrosity, then I will give you orders!" Taeko stuttered, "Our forces have taken the eastern defence lines, and Princess Kanda was spotted running across the battlefield, but we could not deduct her destination-" "Well, give me your deductions then, Commander Taeko!" Monterio bellowed as if Taeko was deaf, "Our only conclusion is that she is heading for the countryside... possibly for the border..." Taeko confirmed more calmly. "Well, send your two finest ninja practitioners to find her and destroy her!" Monterio ordered, "Yes, my O Great Leader." Taeko bowed and walked out.

"Take that, die, die, die!" The boy was attacking what appeared to be a tree without a second. Kanda thought to herself, "Okay, enough, he needs help." He kept punching it and kicking and screaming and then... he sliced it in two! With ease! Kanda rubs her eyes, never seeing someone who has that much precision in their martial arts, "I have never seen anyone slice something with that much precision!" "Oh, you haven't seen anything yet!" The boy rushed off to a clatter of trees and did a hammering chop on each one of them. The trees slumped to the ground, leaving Kanda speechless. "You see? Venusian Aikido. I'm one of the only two-armed beings to have mastered this act," At last, Kanda began to finally warm to him, "Oh, that is extraordinary skills! My father will be most pleased with you!" The boy wondered about this, "Your father? He must be the King! I'll do whatever I can, don't you worry!" The boy and Kanda walked through the forest back to the palace's secret entrance, which was their eventual destination. But hiding in the bushes, they did not see, two shrouded warriors, possibly Kyōwatōs, following them.

"So... I know you arrived in this strange box falling from the sky, could you be our saviour?" Kanda wondered as they walked, "Well, not really, I told you. I crash landed my so-called TARDIS thing, landed in this ancient Japanese countryside and here I am!" The boy confidently explained, "So, what's been going on? What's about this saviour assumption? What's brought that on then?" "We're in a civil war. The whole town of Kowareta has been divided. My father's trying to stop it, but he can't. That's why I was wondering, could you help us?" Kanda asked, "Well, when people need help, I never refuse! Hold on, I think I already said that!" Kanda smiled, but making it clear, "I'm being serious here! We're in danger, and we'll die unless somebody makes everything okay!" "Well, maybe that's why I was sent here, to look for him. The person who can save us. Him, the Doctor." As he finished speaking, they fail to see... the warriors falling from the trees!
