GHOST

Kuhh… kerr…

Kuhh… kerr…

The 1-A students froze as they heard the haunting sound of mechanical breathing fill the hallway. Kaminari gulped and said, "That isn't just me, right?"

Jiro shivered. "I can't tell where it's coming from. This ship's too noisy."

When they rounded the corner, they found Darth Vader, lightsaber drawn, facing down a cloaked figure. Their lightsabers sizzled with each tap as the two foes circled each other.

"Your powers are weak, tin can," Darth Vader said.

The light caught the figure's figure's face. Bright green eyes peered out from under the cloak, and the whole class relaxed upon seeing his face.

"Woo! Midoriya's here! Darth Vader's toast!"

"Get him, Izuku!"

"You can't win, Darth," Izuku said. "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

Darth Vader's lightsaber sliced down, carving Izuku's chest in half. His body crumpled to the floor. The lightsaber rolled across the floor, and Dark Shadow snatched it up.

"He's fine," Sero said. "He got his head cut off and still beat that Nomu, remember?"

Darth Vader snapped his fingers. A giant hydraulic press slammed down on Izuku, flattening his body into sheet metal.

"Uh… his Quirk could still…"

Flamethrowers jutted out of the wall and melted Izuku's remains into slag. Said slag was shaped into a coffee mug, cooled, and filled with piping hot coffee.

Darth Vader took a sip through his mask. "Ahh… I thoroughly enjoy a coffee break before I hunt down escaped prisoners." He turned and saw the students gawking in shock. "There they are. I guess my coffee break is over."

As Darth Vader strode towards them, blast shield doors slammed down in his path. The door glowed brightly as a lightsaber forced its way through the reinforced metal.

"He just took out Izuku!" Mineta wailed. "We're doomed!"

An image of Izuku materialized in front of everyone. "Hello there."

"Izuku! You're alive!"

"I am a force ghost now."

Katsuki crackled his palms. "Bullshit. How is any of this happening?"

"It is my Quirk. As Darth Vader destroyed my body, I downloaded my consciousness into the ship. I am also the Death Star now."

While the rest of the class oohed and nodded in understanding, Katsuki stared at the metal walls around him as though they might crush him at any moment.

Izuku brought up a hologram of the Death Star. "The security station is in Section G. There, you can override the controls for the tracking beam, take a transport, and fly back to earth."

"What about you?" Yaoyorozu asked. "Won't you be stuck in here?"

"I will upload onto the ship. Now, follow me, I can show you the optimal route around Stormtrooper patrols.

While the rest of the class followed the hologram, Katsuki took his own detour towards the reactor room at the heart of the ship.

Meanwhile, from the bridge, a cloaked figure watched the students running together and giggled. "Let's see how you handle my assassin droids."

Coffee tastes best when served in a cup made from the remains of your foes.
