I hold no claims to this awesome movie. Only the two sets of Rush Twins are mine. For now ;)

Chapter One

Your Fault

"Why am I here again?"

"Because we have to save him, Lance. Now keep your voice down."

"No, I know why you and Jack are here, but why am I here?" Lance growled.

"Because I'm here, now shut up!" Rena told her brother.

Rena Rush was a young woman in her middle twenties with long and shaggy auburn hair and matching eyes, her left eye holding a cut across her lightly tanned skin. At the height of 5'8' she was dressed in black boots and pants with a long-sleeved, red shirt with a black vest and a red bandanna in her hair. There was a golden chain hanging down the front of her shirt and a few rings and bracelets on her wrists. All her weapons were being held by…someone special.

The man, Lance Rush, beside her was near his thirties with long, thin auburn hair in a ponytail and green eyes. At the height of 6'1' a silver, Knight Chess piece was hanging from his left ear as he wore boots, a pair of brown pants with a white, long-sleeved, ruffled collared shirt with a black, leather jacket.

The two of them were waiting for the plan to begin. They were in the courthouse, surrounded by a bunch of idiots that were shouting to the hanging of the pirate they were here for.

"If this takes too long," Lance shoved another guy off of him and his sister. "I'm going to rip some hair out."

"Quiet! Order!" A man in one of those large, white powdered wigs pounded a gavel. "Quiet!" Rena and Lance watched from the balcony as a man was dragged in with a bag over his head and placed on the pedestal. "Now appearing before the court, the notorious and infamous pirate, pillager, and highwayman…Captain Jack Sparrow!"

The crowd began to jeer as the bag was ripped off, revealing an elder man with graying hair. The siblings shared a smirk.

"I told you, the name's Gibbs!" the elder man cried. "Joshamee Gibbs!" He glanced all around the room. "How many times do I have ta-" He froze when his eyes landed on the Rush siblings. Gibbs would remember those faces anywhere. From the look on his face they knew he had seen them and Rena decided to give him a wink and blow a kiss. Gibbs opened his mouth to call out to them but the man cut him off.

"Hear ye, hear ye! Presiding over these trials, all rise and attend, the Right Honorable Justice Smith!" The crowd began to cheer as a man in a large wig and a red jacket. The other men bowed to him as he sat at the large chair at the head of the room.

Rena smirked as the room all sat down and she leaned forward on the railing before her, her smirk growing wider as the man looked up at the entire room, pulling his glasses down his nose.

"Now," The real Jack Sparrow, in disguise as a judge in red robes and huge powdered wig, asked with a smirk of his own. "What do we have here?"

"Jack?" Gibbs asked before he was hit with a stick from behind and was told to shut up.

"Not necessary," the 'Judge' told the other man. "You were saying?" He asked Gibbs.

"Jack Sparrow is not my name," Gibbs said, holding his shoulder. "My name is Joshamee Gibbs." The crowd all began to shout as Rena rolled her eyes at the idiots around her.

"Is that so?" 'Judge asked, looking at some papers before him. "It says Jack Sparrow here."

"I told 'em," Gibbs rolled his eyes. "I'm not Jack Sparrow, who I would be happy to identify to the court, as well as a few companions, if it would help my case."

"I think that would be a poor defense," the 'Judge' replied. "Unless you want to be bludgeoned again like a harp seal." The crowd roared with laughter as Gibbs gave the man behind him an unwelcoming look. The 'Judge' looked at the men beside him. "The prisoner claims of being innocent of being Jack Sparrow. How do you find?"

"No trial?" A man asked, standing. "But aren't we here to examine the evidence?'

"Foreman, your finding. Guilty?"

"Guilty verdict means he'll hang." The crowd cheered.

"Hang him! String him up!" The woman beside Rena screamed before they quieted again as the 'Judge' turned back to the Foreman.

"Guilty?"

"That's not fair!" Gibbs cried as the crowd cheered some more.

"Shut it!" The 'Judge' told them. "Joshamee Gibbs, the crime of which you've been found guilty of is being innocent of being Jack Sparrow." Gibbs mouth dropped open. "I hereby commute your sentence, and order that you be imprisoned for the remainder of your miserable, moribund, mutton-chopped life."

The crowd all began to boo the answer as the 'Judge' stood to leave the courtroom. Rena shared a look with her brother before they turned to leave. She paused for a moment before turning back and shoving that one woman from before over the railing before taking off after her brother and back down the hall.

"So, what now?" Lance asked his sister as they exited to Courthouse.

"We go and grab Gibbs and get the hell outta dodge," Rena looked at her brother like he was an idiot. "Really, we talked about this all day yesterday and some more so this morning. Can't you keep anything in that skull of yours?"

"No, Love, I'm afraid he can't." A voice behind them answered instead.

The siblings whipped around; Rena with a smile and Lance with half a smirk.

"Good job, Jack." She told the man who was now in his normal clothes.

Jack wore long sea boots and long, hard-wearing linen trousers. A knotted striped-red sash was tied around his waist. On Jack's back was a long brown coat, a faded blue waistcoat with a shorter lightly-colored back area and a torn white undershirt made up the rest of the ensemble. The left cuff of the undershirt was ripped, and it was through this hole that Jack slipped his left hand. A red bandanna was always wrapped around his head, complemented by a small, ancient Siamese coin woven into Moroccan beads draped over his forehead. Jack's first belt was too long for his waist and so was tied to fit his frame. On this belt he attached some odd new additions; a chicken foot, two small different pieces of animal pelt, one longer than the other, and two small trinkets.

Jack's distinctive look was accentuated by dreadlocked dark brown to black hair and a goatee beard. He had a perpetual sore or abrasion on the right side of his chin, next to his goatee that never seems to heal. The first of these two beads, one red and one white, that Jack braided these into his hair. His hair was adorned with all manner of beads and trinkets gathered from all over the world, each one reminding him of a different adventure. Jack's hat was a faded-black tricorne that still served its purpose, despite its aged appearance. Jack wore four rings on his hands. The first of these was a silver skull ring set with a single green emerald which Jack wore on the index finger of his right hand. The second was a silver and jade oriental dragon ring which he wore on his left index finger until he stole his third ring, a gold and amethyst Greco-Roman ring from a woman they once knew as Tia Dalma. Jack then wore this new acquisition on his left index finger and moved the dragon ring to his left thumb. Jack's final ring was a gold onyx Spanish flower ring. Along with the rings, Jack saw fit to tie pieces of worn fabric onto his hand and a shredded wristband on his right wrist. Among the beads and trinkets in his hair, there was a reindeer shin bone hanging off of a single strand. On his arms and chest, there were many scars and gashes, the result of some of his previous adventures.

"Yes, it was a splendid job, wasn't it?" Jack grinned proud of himself as he wrapped an arm around the woman beside him.

"Oh, sure it was," Lance crossed his arms as they made their way to their next set of plans. "No one would have ever thought about that in a hundred years."

"Shut up, Lance. You're just mad because your plan wouldn't have worked." Rena told her brother.

Jack wore a small smile as she listened to the siblings fight. It had gotten worse and worse since they were left on Tortuga but when it all came down to it, the siblings cared very much for each other. Their fighting was just a way of showing it to each other.

"All right now, the two of you," Jack removed his arm from the woman when they reached their destination. "Get inside." The two followed his orders and Jack turned to the front of the trolley where the horse was. "Ta," Jack told the horse as he grabbed his hat off its head as the Rush siblings jumped up into the back of the trolley. Gibbs was thrown in after them and Jack followed shortly after.

"Hell's teeth," Gibbs sighed as he took a look at the three of them. "Now we're all headed for prison."

"Not to worry," Jack assured him. "I've paid off the driver."

"Don't you mean that I paid him off?" Lance asked, crossing his arms as he sat beside Gibbs.

"Hush, Lance." Rena told her brother. "There's no need to argue about every little thing. Besides, I did it, not the two of you."

Gibbs rolled his eyes. Their constant bickering was not something that he missed from the three of them.

"Ten minutes," Jack continued to tell his friend. "We'll be outside London Town, horses waiting. Tonight, we make the coast. Then it's just a matter of finishing a ship." He lifted up a small bottle and took a drink.

"All part of the plan, yes?" Gibbs asked them."

"Of course," Rena grinned.

"We just got here this morning," Lance took over. "To rescue you, Gibbs."

"Seeing as how you're still alive," Jack looked at him. "I'd say it's all been very successful thus far." Gibbs took a drink from the small bottle this time. "What happened to you, Gibbs? I thought you were employed elsewhere of otherwise engaged."

"Aye." Gibbs nodded. "But I always listened like a thief for news of the Black Pearl." Jack glanced away sadly and Rena pulled a soft frown as Lance closed his eyes. They hadn't heard from their brother and sister Jena and Leon since they were left behind at Tortuga. "Nobody's seen where she might make next port. Then, I hear a rumor: Jack Sparrow's in London with a ship and looking for a crew."

"Am not." Jack told him.

"But that's what I heard." Gibbs replied.

"And where are we supposed to be doing this, exactly?" Rena asked, leaning forward a bit.

"Fact is you're signing up men tonight. Pub called the Captain's Daughter." He answered her as he went to go take another drink but Jack pulled it away.

"Am not!" He told him before taking a drink himself. He held it to Rena and Lance but they refused.

"Well," Gibbs sighed. "I thought it a bit odd, but then, you've never been the most predictable of sorts."

"Ain't that the truth?" Lance mumbled under his breath as his sister giggled.

"Tell me something," Jack began as Gibbs took another drink of his own. "There is another Jack Sparrow out there sullying my good name?"

"I wouldn't say sullying a 'good name'" Lance commented. Jack shot him a look as Rena fought off more giggles.

"An imposter?" Rena offered up.

"Indeed. But.."

"It's an imposter with a ship," Lance decided to say.

"And in need of a crew," Rena grinned, catching on to what her brother was trying to say.

"Which, as fate would have it, so am I." Jack sighed.

Gibbs stared at the three of them for a moment. "What about all of you? Last I heard, you were hell-bent to find the Fountain of Youth," He pointed at Jack. "And I know the two of you were following him." He reached over and grabbed the map that they had taken from Barbosa. "Any luck?"

Jack snatched it back before he could get a better look. "Circumstances arose and forced a compelling insight regarding discretion and valor."

"It means he gave up," Lance told the man beside him.

"I did not," Jack defended himself. "I am just as bent as ever. Hellishly so. I shall taste those waters, Master Gibbs. Mark my words."

"We just don't have a ship this moment to go and find it." Rena sighed as the trolley came to a stop.

"Oh. Short trip." Jack chuckled as he stood up. He moved past them all and pushed the door open and walked out just to lift his head and find themselves in a large circle of redcoats and guns pointed at them in front of the palace.

"All part of the plan, yes?" Gibbs asked as Rena gave a loud swallow, throwing her hands up.

Lance looked over at Jack with a scowl on his face. "This is your fault."

Jack gave a small smile and turned to enter the trolley again when he was hit in the back of her neck with a gun. "No." He groaned at Gibbs as he caught him.

The man had been expecting that to knock Jack out but all that did was anger Rena to where she jumped on the man. Lance rolled his eyes and grabbed his sister before she could be shot and glared at Jack again.

"As I said before," He nodded at his sister as she struggled to get at the man again. "Your fault."

And so, Pirates 4 has begun. Hope you guys enjoyed it!
