A Pirates of the Caribbean one-shot;

Saving Jack- PotC 3 Scene Redone

*X*

"Jack!" A voice called triumphantly.

Captain Jack Sparrow looked up wearily, almost glad to see them. His clothes were torn up and bloody-he was even missing a boot-,but he still had his hat, which sat on top of his head, as usual. He got to his feet from where he sat on the stony ground of the Locker. He winced slightly as he limped over to them.

"Should I be glad to see you…?" He asked dully. He managed to cast an unseen glare at Elizabeth as the group reached him. Her face paled.

"Hello, Jack." Hector Barbossa spoke up.

"Hector?" He asked, surprised. "Didn't I shoot you?"

"Aye, ye did." The pirate captain nodded.

"How are you here then?" He questioned.

"Tia Dalma." Was the reply.

"Ah." Jack responded. "What did the lot of you do to end up here?"

"Jack." Will Turner cleared his throat. "We're not dead."

Confused, he shook his head. "Am I dreaming?"

"Jack, we're here." Elizabeth finally spoke.

He raised a finger, trying to come up with a reasonable reply to that, but frowned and turned away. "So you are…"

"Are you alright, Captain?" Gibbs asked in concern.

"Oh, sure. Totally." Jack rolled his eyes sarcastically. "I didn't get eaten by said terrible beastie after someone tricked me." He turned to glare straight at Elizabeth. "Why did you come back?"

Will stumbled a few paces away from here. "No-it can't be true. You didn't do it, right Elizabeth?"

She shook her head, her skin pale. "I...Jack, I'm so sorry."

"Sorry doesn't make up for killing a man." Jack retorted, his face a mask, blocking out all emotions. He gestured to himself. "Look what it did to me. Davy Jones is making me suffer by making me feel the pain, which I shouldn't be able to feel here. I'm lucky I can walk right now."

"It was after you. I thought that it was worth it, tricking you to sacrifice for the rest of us." Elizabeth made up an excuse.

"Did ye now?" He asked eyes narrowing.

"Yes. I'm sorry, Jack…"

"Let's get the Pearl into the water and get out of here."

That was when everyone else realized that the Black Pearl was there.

"Why is there a ship in the Locker?" Ragetti asked.

Jack shrugged. "You tell me. Come on, to your stations!"

The pirate captain limped towards the ship, his right foot leaving bloody footprints behind. Everyone else was shocked, but they followed too. The Black Pearl would set sail again, with it's true captain at the wheel.
