Midoriya's eyelids flutter open as he stirs from his heavy slumber. The Prince becomes aware of the coolness of the atmosphere. The ground is lumpy as if he is lying on a bed of earth. His vision shielded in darkness. Aside from his own noisy breath, there is nothing to be heard. Yet, through the fog of pitch black, Midoriya could faintly see the outline of a person sitting against the wall. It was a girl. She was a relatively petite one with blonde hair, which was put up into two messy styled buns which popped out from either side of her head. The way her yellows eyes shone in the dark reminded Midoriya of a cat.

"You're awake!", the girl suddenly smiled, arising up. Yet, the gesture only sent chills down Midoriya's spine. What the hell was she blushing?
"W-who are you?" Midoriya stutters, deflecting his gaze. He could feel the cuffs cut into his skin.
The girl starts to giggle.

"My name Himiko!" she declares in a cheerful voice.
She approaches close. It soon comes to Midoriya's mind that both of his hands are chained to the wall.

"You don't know me but I know who you are!", Himiko blazons excitedly. Her eyes start to enlarge. Midoriya commences to shrink himself back into the wall, trying to distance himself in a futile effort.
"You are the Prince's Todoroki prized bride!" Himiko continues, bringing her hands to her face; cupping her cheeks.
"Oh, I wonder how distressed he must be to find you gone from his so beloved kingdom, even better what will his expression be when he finds you cut up into inadequate pieces?"
Midoriya surges forward, the chain jiggle at the movement. He snarls.

His eyes are narrowed, rigid, cold, hard yet blazing with unhidden fury. "Lay a finger on him and you'll be the one that will be cut up into pieces!"
Himiko bursts into a fit of laughter.
"But you can't do anything to me when you're chained up like a dog"
"Ahhh.....but I really love that expression....Show me more of it, Princess!" Himiko springs forward, a knife becomes noticeable in her hand. The laughter evaporates from her eyes.

The Prince tries to recoil back, attempting to kick the Psycho-girl back. But he saved by a swirl of purplish mist that appears out of nowhere- swallowing Himiko as she lets out a scream of annoyance. And in Himiko's place, is a man whose body was entirely made out of mist.

"My sincerest apologies, Princess. I will ensure that she won't hinder you again". The man bows in a somewhat respective manner before adjusting his attire.

"And how rude of me not to introduce myself. My name is Kurogiri, I am-"

"Spare me the extraneous details, Where is Prince Todoroki?" Midoriya demands dangerously.
Kurogiri lets out a brief shrug as mist starts to re-form around the room.
"I'm sure he's not too far away, Princess," Kurogiri says, his figure commences to fade.

"W-what do you want from him?" the Prince of Yuuei questions, fearing the answer.

The atmosphere in the compartment starts to become unbreathable. Violent colours move and merge without pattern or design. Entering Midoriya's vision. As Midoriya begins to lose consciousness, he manages to hear the words uttered by Kurogiri.

"His death"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The moment Todoroki had stepped into the garden, returning from his ineffectual conversation with Momo. He immediately knew something was wrong. The garden had become a graveyard. The birds had fled, taking with them their sweet lullabies. The sun was now hiding behind the mass of clouds. Todoroki could feel the lingering sense of evil tainting the air. Without hesitation, a single name comes to Todoroki's mind.

Deku.

Todoroki dashes across the patio in an immense sprint. His breath stinging his lungs. But sensation only makes Todoroki quickens his pace as he bolts down the path that he and Deku were just walking down some minutes ago. A few creatures scurry out of his way, afraid he would trample on their fragile tails.
