BOOM.
The first cannon blast shook the stolen airship as the Imperial fleet opened fire.
Finn, clinging to a railing, screamed, "WHY DOES EVERYTHING WANT TO KILL ME?!"
Zephyria dodged past him, gun in hand. "Because you're a walking disaster magnet!"
Tess, yanking the controls, sent the ship into a nosedive. "Somebody get on the guns before we're blown to steam-powered hell!"
Vespera, laughing like a lunatic, kicked open the gun hatch. "I CALL DIBS!"
Finn panicked. "YOU'VE NEVER USED A CANNON BEFORE!"
Vespera grinned. "Even better!"
She fired wildly, hitting absolutely nothing.
Zephyria facepalmed. "We're so dead."
Meanwhile, on the Imperial flagship, Ignis leaned against the railing, sighing dreamily.
"Oh, Finn~! Why must you be so adorably rebellious?"
A nearby Imperial officer, sweating, whispered, "P-Princess, should we, uh… actually destroy them?"
Ignis pouted. "Of course not! Just soften them up so I can swoop in dramatically and rescue my future husband."
The officer nodded nervously. "…By rescue, you mean kidnap, right?"
Ignis beamed. "It's only kidnapping if he doesn't fall in love after!"
The officer mentally prepared his resignation letter.
