There is one option here. If you use a HP, you are almost guaranteed a FA (almost...). However, if you KEEP the result of your negative AP even when you regain AP, you could STILL be Injured or Dying... You can stand over the defeated villan, bloodied sword in hand, then collapse heroically...
Exactly what penalty, if any, you would impose on the FA roll is a problem (if Injured is halved ability, what's dying?), but that's true of the 'normal' FA anyway...
