Max's POV: He collapsed. I quickly ran over to him. He was facing the ground so I didn't see his face. I was going to turn it, but I hesitated. Would he look different? Yes, but like he said, it would still be him. I took a deep breath. I quickly turned him to face him. I was shocked to see the same face. He didn't change? I breathed a sigh of relief. He must of been wrong. I pulled out my phone to call Chelsea.
"Hey Max! What's up?" She asked. I hesitated.
"Um, hey. So something kinda happened to Zach." I said to her.
"What? He overdosed on pepsi?" She said with a laugh.
"Not, exactly. A beam of light came from the sky, and it hit him. He fell over. He got up pretty quickly but his hands and head started to glow." I said. I was going to continue but Chelsea cut me off.
"What?! I'll be right there?" She said. I was going to stop her but she hung up the phone. I groaned to no one and put the phone back in my pocket. Almost in response, I heard a groaning from behind me. I turned to see The Doctor rubbing his head. I ran over quickly.
"Zach?! Are you ok?" I said to her. He flinched at my voice. Then he opened his eyes. He didn't seem very groggy. Then he quickly jumped up to his feet. I took a step back. He didn't seem to notice. Then he looked at me. That's when I noticed something. His eyes, they were purple. Also very bloodshot. Then he just turned and started to walk away. I was caught off guard and ran after him.
"Hey! What's wrong? How are you feeling? You didn't change your face." I said to him. He turned back to me.
"Uh, hi. Sorry, um, do you have any water? My throat's really dry." He said. I nodded. I ran back to the car to grab some water. I ran back with a bottle. He took it greedily and drank it all in like 5 seconds. I was a bit weirded out.
"Well, you were certainly thirsty." I said. He nodded. Then he turned to me quickly.
"Great, now I can talk normally. Now, excuse me for asking, but I don't think we've properly been introduced. Can you tell me your name?" He asked. I was concerned after that.
"You, don't remember me?" I asked. Then he shot up like he remembered.
"Oh right! You're Korra. You certainly changed your style. Do you know where DK is? Or, where we are for that matter." He said to me. I was super confused.
"W-What?" I said. He looked a bit suspicious.
"Hang on, you called me Zach. Why did you do that?" He asked. I put my hand in my face.
"Ok, what's wrong with you? You call yourself Zach to hide your true identity. The Doctor won't exactly get by as you said." I said to him. He looked almost as confused as I was.
"I've never gone by either of those names." He said. I put my hand on my face again.
"Ok, seriously, what the hell is wrong with you?" I asked.
"Well, I go to different universes, sometimes it's hard to cope with multiversal travel. And judging by your face, that's not what you mean is it?" He said. I shook my head.
"I don't know what half that stuff means. Look, Doctor, you're acting like you don't know me. This isn't funny. Please stop it. The joke's over." I said, kind wishing it was a joke, but doubting it was.
"Funny, who's laughing? I lost my friend and DK. I'm not laughing. Wait, so if you aren't Korra?" He asked me.
"No, I'm not!" I yelled. I was done at that point.
"Well, what's your name?" He asked. I was going to tell him. But then I thought of something.
"You replaced him. You took the Doctor away and you replaced him. Why? What the hell do you want here?" I asked. I made one of my hands into a fist. He seemed a bit scared actually.
"Look, if I was replaced then it wasn't on purpose." He said to me. I didn't believe him. I raised my fist and voice.
"You bring the Doctor back, RIGHT NOW!" I shouted that last part and punched him in the face as hard as I could. He was knocked to the floor. Then, Chelsea came into the junkyard running as fast she could. I stopped her.
"It's not him!" I said to her. She pushed past me.
"He's supposed to look different. It's apart of the-." She was cut off with sight of his face.
"He looks the same, but it's not him!" I said to her.
"Huh, that's different." She said. She put her hands to his head. After a few seconds she took them off abruptly.
"What the hell?" She said.
"What? What happened?" I asked.
"These memories, they're completely different. It's like he's lived a completely different life. But it's so weird. It's like he was made of cubes, then animation, and now reality. How can he have memories of being in so many different dimensions?" She said. I shook my head.
"Ok, look, all of that aside, is that the Doctor?" I asked her. She looked at me with great concern.
"I don't think so. Whoever this is, he calls himself GD."
Korra's POV: I was able to catch him before he completely fell. All of the sudden, a figure that was red and yellow came out of the corridor. I almost dropped him in shock of seeing the figure. It put its hands up.
"Don't worry, it's me! DK. GD made a suit for me so I could walk around. Let me see him. We have a medical bay." He said to me. I sighed in relief. He picked him up out of my arms. He walked through a door. I quickly followed him. I had questions.
"So does he commonly do that? Blow up and pass out?" I asked DK.
"I don't know. The last time he did something like this was when we entered your universe. But it was just his body changing formats for the first time. He hasn't done anything like this before." He said.
"Well is he ok?" I asked.
"I think so. His heart rate's a little high. But, woah hold on." He interrupted himself.
"What? What's wrong?" I asked.
"I don't know. According to my scanners. I think he has two hearts. But that's impossible." He said. I was shocked.
"Wait what? He has two hearts?" I said in disbelief.
"Apparently. That's new." He said. We opened a door and we were in what looked like a hospital. There were three beds. DK set him on a bed. He grabbed some medical stuff and hooked it up to him. DK walked over to me.
"All we can do is let him rest, I think." DK said to me. I looked at him.
"You think? You don't know what to do?" I asked. He shook his head.
"Not a clue. It's never happened before." He said to me. Then the hospital started to shake. DK suddenly pressed the side of his head.
"Uh oh." He said.
"What? What's wrong?" She asked.
"Because of the explosion, it damaged the console. We're about to land on a planet. I don't know what universe it is. The Coordinates don't match any on my maps." He said. I shook my head.
"Well, what do we do?" I asked.
"Easy, GD comes up with an idea, I tell him the terrible odds, and then he does it anyway." He said a bit annoyed.
"Yeah, I hope he's ok." I said.
"I'll tell you what's weird though, I'm scanning his brain waves, and they're completely foreign." He said. I rose an eyebrow.
"What does that mean?" I asked. DK looked at me.
"It's almost like he's a completely different person." He responded.
"So what? He has a new brain?" I asked.
"Maybe, but this is definitely not GD." He said. I looked at the body on the bed.
"Then who is it?" I asked.
"No idea." He responded. As he said that, GD, or whoever that was, started mumbling.
"What's he saying?" I asked. DK walked over.
"He's repeating names." He said.
"What names?" I asked him.
"I think it's, Max and Chelsea." He said.
"Any names you recognize?" I asked.
"Nope. Never heard them."
"Well, should we let him rest?"
"Yeah, when he wakes up, he'll have some explaining to do."
"Yeah. I wonder, if he isn't GD, then where is he?" I asked.
"Not a clue, but I hope we can still get to him." DK said. I looked at him with concern.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"If he's in the universe we drifted into, then we may have a problem. It was hard to leave once we got in. We may not be able to get back in." He said. Then I got worried.
"Then, where are we?" I asked.
"Like I said, not on my maps. You want to go find out?" He asked. I looked at him, then nodded.
"Sure. Let's go."
"Hope you don't mind, but I made an iron man suit based on your measurements. If the place we're at doesn't sustain life, then it'll protect you." DK said. I looked surprised.
"Really? Will you be inside the suit?" I asked.
"Yep, I'll guide you." He said. I smiled.
"Let's go. Hopefully he's up when we get back." I said. DK nodded.
"He should be. Let's go." He said. We left the room, taking one last look at whoever was laying in the hospital bed. Then we left.
