The Aftermath of Being Unwantedly Desired

Finn, still recovering from his near-marriage-experience, sat slumped against the airship railing, staring at the clouds in despair.

Vespera nudged him. "So, how does it feel knowing a genetically enhanced war princess wants to make you her love slave?"

Finn groaned. "I feel like a cursed lottery winner."

Zephyria crossed her arms. "You do attract chaos like a broken steam engine."

Tess, steering the airship, rolled her eyes. "Enough whining. Where are we heading?"

Finn blinked. "Wait—you guys stole an airship without a destination?"

Vespera grinned. "Well, we were kinda hoping you had an actual plan."

Finn, panicking, looked around at his highly unpredictable crew.

"Uh… okay. Let's just… go somewhere Ignis won't find us."

Zephyria sighed. "She's an obsessive super-soldier princess. There's nowhere she won't find us."

Finn buried his face in his hands. "I hate my life."

Vespera snickered. "You love it."

Finn, dead inside, muttered, "I tolerate it at best."

Tess suddenly frowned. "Uh… guys?"

Zephyria tensed. "What?"

Tess pointed out the window.

An entire fleet of Imperial airships was closing in.

Finn screamed.

Vespera grabbed her spyglass. "Oooooh, yep. That's an army."

Zephyria groaned. "HOW DID SHE FIND US SO FAST?!"

Finn, still screaming, "SHE'S A MADLY-IN-LOVE SUPER-SOLDIER PRINCESS! WE NEVER HAD A CHANCE!"

A loudspeaker boomed from the lead airship.

"FINN~!"

Finn immediately ducked for cover. "NOPE. NOPE. I'M DEAD. I DIED. FINN DOES NOT EXIST."

Ignis's voice, cheerful yet terrifying, echoed through the sky.

"Come back, my love~! Don't make me invade an entire city just to bring you home!"

Zephyria paled. "She's not bluffing."

Tess cursed. "Well. Looks like we're fighting an empire today."

Finn, sobbing: "I just wanted to be a normal guy."

Vespera, loading her crossbow: "That ship sailed, buddy."

Zephyria cracked her knuckles. "Alright. We either die, or we escape."

Finn, still hiding: "CAN I PICK A THIRD OPTION?"

Tess smirked. "Nope."

Outside, the Imperial Fleet loomed closer.

Ignis, standing dramatically at the front of her flagship, blew Finn a kiss.

"PREPARE TO BE CAPTURED WITH LOVE~!"

Finn screamed in horror.

Zephyria pulled out her gun. "Alright, let's fight."
