Hoist The Colors
By: Man-Eating-Tree
We only own Rita Jones, Joseph Barbossa, Sandy Norrington, and Nick Turner. We made up most of the astonishingly absurd quest things. Pirates of the Caribbean Characters, Ships, and other icons are © the person who made them.
WARNING: SOMETIMES WE ADD RANDOM PLOT TWISTS AND LEMONS. BE AWARE. OH AND IN THE LATER CHAPTERS WE KINDA ABANDNED THE WHOLE PIRATE TALK. IT BECAME COMFUSING. SORRY.
Chapter 1The King and His Men Stole the Queen From Her Bed,
Rita Jones. Accused of stealing. Yeah ACCUSED. She was just waltzing along in Port Royal when she was apprehended after buying some supplies for the ship. She was of now being cuffed and walked to the Governors Office for sentence .She didn't know why she was accused. She was just a pirate that bought some stuff. Yeah a PIRATE BOUGHT stuff with her OWN MONEY. Was that so hard to fit through these stupid navel minds?
"Oh c'mon James!! I know I'm strong enough!" A girl's voice called inside. The Port Royal Navy person opened the door to reveal Gov. Norrington with a girl wearing a boy's commodore outfit. She had a sword tied to her belt. Her name was Sandy Norrington and she had long Orange-ish hair, half of it tied into a braid and half messy.
"-Ahem- Excuse me Sir! We found this pirate stealing from the marketplace!" He said, pushing Rita forwards. Her short dark brown hair with light streaks hung in her lighter brown eyes. Norrington looked up at her. She was wearing a shirt with long-ish sleeves and a bathing suit bottom with a white shirt tied around her waist.
"Ah, so young. (Rita's around her 20's like every one of our characters) Yet she threw her life away." He said. "To the Gallows. You know what happens to pirates!" Sandy looked over at the girl.
"But...she doesn't look like a pirate..." She mumbled.
Rita glared "If you MUST know I BOUGHT that stuff." She said kicking at the bag with the items at her feet.
"And how do we know that?" Norrington asked, placing his chin in his hand. "All you pirates are the same. Lie after lie, distrusting thing after distrusting thing."
"James, I think she's telling the truth." Sandy said, walking over to the bag. She opened it. "We could ask the Merchant."
Rita grinned. "Cause I got a RECIET!!" She said nodding to a slip of dirty paper with writing scrawled on it.
Sandy took it out. She handed it to Norrington. Norrington looked over it then laughed. "You must've planed this out. That's enough. To the gallows!" He said and the Navy person took her down into a cell.
"Tomorrow at sundown." He smiled evilly as he locked her away.
She glared then sighed.
"Well I guess Joseph isn't getting his rope or new plank. Which isn't my fault it broke!" She exclaimed randomly. She went over to the door to see if she could break it down anyway.
There were footsteps coming down the stairs. Sandy walked over to Rita's cell.
"I need to know, did you steal anything?" She asked. Rita spotted a key hanging out of her pant pocket. "Did you? Are you really a Pirate?" Sandy got as close to the bars as possible.
She grinned a bit "Yes to the first and yes to the second, but it depends on the last."
Sandy raised an eyebrow. "You sound like Sparrow." She said. "No really, are you a pirate?"
She cocked a pistol that she luckily still had. "I presume you'll be handing that key over miss." She said grinning and totally ignoring the Sparrow remark.
"So that means yes." Sandy glared. She took out her keys. "Really, Sparrow." She said unlocking the cell.
"I bet you'll need my help to get you pass the Navy? Considering how easily that numbskull caught you. He's the biggest slacker. Nice job." She said. Rita sighed, "Will you stop calling me Sparrow! I'm not a lazy ass Sparrow. The name's Rita." She said pulling Sandy along.
"Arr, Rita I see you've brought company." A man with rugged clothes said. He had messy light brown hair and pale blue eyes. His name was Barbossa. Rita and Sandy boarded the Pearl. Sandy looked around. Pirates were all around her.
"Shit. I know where I am. The Pearl." She said.
"Your stupid shopping errand landed me in the Navy's jail. Had to fish her along." She said. Nick was cleaning the floors glaring at Barbossa all the while muttering something about how stupid and long it took to clean "the whole bloody damned Pearl". She had long Black hair and a Green bandana hung low on her face. Her pale purple eyes glared at Barbossa.
"Oh really? Sorry about that!!" He said laughing. Sandy saw Nick cleaning the Pearl. Barbossa noticed. "Ye are going to do the same!" He remarked. Sandy looked over at him.
"You're kidding? I'm not doing a pirate's job!" She said. Barbossa stepped away for a second then came back with a bucket and a brush.
"Start scrubbing, Miss Turner can't clean it all herself!!" Sandy glared at Barbossa and started cleaning.
Nick stood up glaring "I don't need some fancy girl to help me clean your ship!" She said thinking he was making fun of her by making her share duties with a landlubber. Rita blinked confused then went to pester Barbossa about the plank.
"You know that really wasn't my fault. The shark was big and the chum spilled. Don't blame me that the shark bite the whole plank off." She started.
"Oh yea, 'fancy girl' I bet I'm more pirate then that dude." She whispered, nodding towards Barbossa. Barbossa sighed.
"It's ye fault that the chum fell over, savvy?" He said.
Nick glared and went back to cleaning.
"Stupid captain...His father was way better then he was. "She murmured. Rita shook her head
"Actually it was PHIL'S fault. See if he hadn't knocked me into the bucket the chum would have never of spilled in the first place."
"His father...was that by any chance a Hector Barbossa? He used to own this ship." Sandy said, cleaning.
"Alas, Phil is dead. So who else is there to blame and to get the gold from to fix it?" Barbossa said.
Rita looked around. "Um... AHA! Blame Nick! You always do with all the stuff that's not me." She said grinning. Nick nodded "Yeah it's was..." Then heard Rita's remark. She stood up objection then sighed and went back to cleaning. "If I EVER inherit the Flying Dutchman from dad I swear that boy's going to be my first victim..."
Sandy looked up to Rita. "Again, Jack Sparrow!" She called before going back to scrubbing. Joseph chuckled.
"Alas, she is already being punished. She has to do Phil's cleaning."
Rita glared "I AM NOT THAT LAZY ASSED, NO GOOD, STUPID, FORGETFUL AS HELL SPARROW!! IM A JONES!!!" She yelled. Nick grinned and scrubbed. She loved seeing Rita explode.
"Jones?" Sandy asked, stopping. She looked surprised. "As in Davy Jones?"
Joseph sighed. "Listen, before ye explode again, we'll settle this later, savvy?" He said. He put his hand on her shoulder. "You best be getting rest while you still can. I have a feeling the Navy's going to be after us." Before Sandy knew it they set sail.
She nodded and went below deck. Nick sighed "Yeah she gets to rest while I'm up here scrubbing decks with some kid probably belonging to the Navy." She said scrubbing.
-Lets say: In the time it took Nick and Sandy to finish-
Nick sighed her arms sore. It was still the same day, well night. She picked up her bucket and called the captain over. "Captain!!"
Barbossa walked over. "Yes? You two finished already?" He asked. Sandy muttered something, rubbing her arms.
She nodded "And HERE!" She dumped the buckets contents (dirty water) on his head. "I'll be going to sleep now if you don't mind!" She stormed down below to her hammock.
"Hey-!!" Barbossa yelled. He tried to brush the water off of his shirt. Sandy concealed a laugh and followed Nick. She got into an empty hammock by Nick.
"That was hilarious." She said.
"Nope. Just business." She said grinning.
"Wake up ye scurvy dogs!!! All hands on deck!!!" Sandy was awoken by Barbossa's yelling.
"Huh...?" She said, standing up.
"Prepare all cannon's!! The Interceptor is gaining!!" he walked down to Sandy. "Are ye good with a sword?" He asked.
"Heck yeah! My father was as good as yours. And he taught me." She said.
"Fine then. You stay on deck, savvy?" He said. Sandy walked up to the deck.
Rita went to her position on the stair to yell the orders that were given above. Nick woke up and cocked her pistols. "Finally a good fight. Eh captain! Let a few board so we can shoot 'em." She said playing around. Like the captain would do that. She went to help some mates load a cannon.
Soon the Interceptor was on the Starboard side. They didn't shoot, and they didn't try to board. "I wonder..." Sandy said.
"HOLD FIRE!!! Something's up!" Barbossa yelled.
Nick groaned. She was inches away from lighting the fuse on the cannon. "Now what?" She complained. Rita yelled below to hold fire and went up top. "Something wrong?"
"I think they want something." He said. "I don't know this isn't like the Navy to wait like this. He narrowed his eyes. They were putting down one plank towards the side of the boat. Sandy got her sword out, ready to battle whoever came over on Barbossa's orders. A single person walked over and right as he stepped onto the ship, Barbossa yelled a command.
"You!! Girl, fight!!!" Sandy started to swordfight with this man.
"FIRE ALL CANNONS!!!" He yelled.
Rita ran back below and yelled the order out to then. Nick grinned and set fire to the cannon she was at. The sound of gunpowder exploding filled e ship along with the clash of the swords of Sandy and this man.
Sandy parried the man and his sword fell to the ground with a clash. She pointed her sword at his neck, and realized who it was. It was Norrington. "Ja-James!" She said, almost dropping her sword.
"You disappoint me." He said, turning around and heading back to the Interceptor. They fled.
"Wow. That was easy." Barbossa said.
Rita came back up. "Its...over?" She said confused "What the heck did they want?" She demanded. Nick began putting away the cannons on the deck and securing them to the ship.
"I don't know. Only that one man came over...if you want to know I'd ask her." Barbossa said. Sandy was just standing in the spot where she had been, her sword down at her side.
Nick looked up at Sandy. Rita looked at Barbossa confused "Hey you're the Captain. You ask her." She said.
"Aye, I'm the captain, but am I the one who wants to know?" He asked. Sandy put away her sword and picked up Norrington's sword, looking at it carefully, turning it over in her hands.
She looked at him strangely "Well I would want to know why some Navy ship came and the Governor boarded to have a sword fight." She said.
"Aye, ye would." Barbossa said.
She opened her mouth to protest then glared and turned to Sandy. "Why did we just have to fight the Navy's closest ship to the Pearl?" She asked actually complimenting the Navy a bit.
Sandy looked over at her. "I don't know." She said, shrugging. She looked like she just got out of a daydream or something. She walked over to the front of the ship.
Rita shrugged and went back below deck. Nick sighed and leaned against the mast disappointed that there wasn't really a fight.
Barbossa walked over to Nick. "Don't look so down." He said. He pulled an apple from his coat pocket. "Apple?" He asked.
She grinned, "You always have one of those don't you?" She said laughing a bit.
He nodded. "Sure do." He said.
"Hey, Barbossa. This is a fine sword. You use it." Sandy said, thrusting the sword into Barbossa's hands, knocking his apple to the ground. It landed by his feet.
Nick blinked. "Um... Why did she do that?" She asked bending to pick up the apple as Barbossa had the sword in hands.
Barbossa blinked. "Because he's the captain. He should have a good sword. Oh and," Sandy took out her sword. "This was made by William." Sandy turned to Nick.
She looked at this sword with interest. "Really? Cool." She replied holding out the apple to Barbossa Joseph to take back.
Barbossa put the apple back in his pocket and looked at the sword. "A Governor's sword..." He muttered. He took out his old sword and thrust it into the wood below him. He sheathed his new sword. Sandy put her sword away too
She grinned. "Well we chase off the Governor, Captain got a new sword, and no one died (yet)...I say break out the rum?"
"Aye!! BREAK OUT THE RUM!!" Barbossa yelled. Many of the crewmembers ran downstairs and brought up kegs of rum and many glasses. Sandy sat alone; one of the only people who hadn't drank any.
"Drunken Pirates. Great." She said.
Rita was laughing with some others about stuff. Nick walked over to Sandy. "Don't you want any?" She asked. Unlike Rita Nick never got full drunk. You needed at least one sane person to bring everyone back.
Sandy shook her head. "As Elizabeth said, Rum is a vile and dissolute drink. It turns people into...pirates." She said.
She grinned even more at this. "And speaking as Elizabeth's daughter I can say that it didn't turn anyone into a pirate. That's just what everyone says. What really turns you is who you drink the rum with" She handed a bottle to Sandy and took a swig of her own. By now most of the Pearl was drunk, accept for them two.
Sandy looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "But William...ah never mind." She said. She drank some.
"Well mainly she drank it with Jack. It still didn't make her pirate till on the ship when she was under disguise as a boy." She said taking another swig. She set her almost empty bottle down and began moving the knocked out drunks to their hammocks. "Eh you're gonna have to help me if you want to sleep tonight."
Sandy took another drink then nodded. She helped Nick take the Drunkards to their hammocks.
"Where's Barbossa?" Sandy said after many of the crew had been cleared out.
Nick blinked. "Um... Didn't you get him?"
Sandy shook her head. "Haven't seen him for awhile. " She said. Sandy walked over and poked a sleeping Rita. "Hey, do you know where Barbossa is?" She asked.
Rita didn't wake up. It wasn't a surprise to Nick though.5 empty bottle lay around her. "Eh she was already in her bed when she got knocked out."
Sandy shrugged. They heard footsteps coming up the stairs. It was Barbossa. "Oh. There he is." Sandy said, pointing to him.
"What?" Barbossa asked, not totally drunk, walking over to them.
Nick raised a brow "You didn't get drunk?" She asked seeing his sanity.
"Not much. The Pearl still needs a cap'n ye know. Apple?" He asked once again, pulling it out.
"Man what's with apples and Barbossas?" Sandy exclaimed.
Nick opened her mouth to explain then got a stumped look on her face. "You know what? I don't really know. Aye Captain what is with the apples?" She asked.
Barbossa thought for a second. "I dunno. I got it from my father." He said after awhile. Sandy sighed. "No, really though, does anyone want an apple?" he asked.
Nick shrugged "Eh she was already in her bed when she got knocked out." She said. Rita fell outta her hammock and onto the floor. Nick burst out laughing. "OOH she's gonna feel that in the morning!" She said.
Barbossa handed her the apple then went to pick up Rita. He put her to her feet and started shaking her. "Wake up!!!" He said.
Nick began eating while holding back laughing. Rita groaned and woke up reluctantly. "What in the world was that?" She said holding her head.
"You fell out of your hammock." He said sighing. "Next time when you fall asleep stop drinking rum!"
Rita sighed. "But why are you sober?" She asked. Nick blinked. Since when has a pirate used the word sober? Was she really just dreaming because she was drunk?
Barbossa blinked. "-Sweat drop- Heh-heh...why does every one keep fixating on that?"
Nick spoke up. "Well because you ARE Captain." She said. Rita finished off hers. "Yeah and because you're normally the first one to the rum barrels."
"Heh-heh..." He said. "Well, let's just say I wanted to make sure we had someone to rely on savvy?"
Nick protested. "Hey! Don't I always put up the half-dead bodies?" She said, half-dead meaning knocked out.
"Aye, ye do. But soon yer going to have a family reunion, if Mr. Turner knows what we're doing. And I don't want to be 'half-dead when that happens, savvy?" He said.
"William? What are we gonna do that will get William to chase after us?" Sandy asked.
Nick blinked confused "What's Will gonna chase us down for? The Pearl? Well no he has the Dutchman which is better then the Pearl, no offence though."
Barbossa laughed. "Ye will find out quickly enough." He said. He took out another apple and bit into it.
Rita went back to sleep, obviously bored. Nick sighed. "You know I hate it when you don't tell anyone what you're doing. It worries the crew."
"Well, I'd tell you, but I'm smart enough to figure out the outcome of that. And he outcome I'd rather avoid." He said. "Savvy?"
Nick sighed. "You really need to get drunk..."She said going to sleep herself.
Sandy decided that everything that just went on was too strange for her and she went to bed.
Sandy awoke this time from the sounds of the crew moaning and groaning as they woke up. "Hangovers." She muttered, sitting up.
Nick was already up sitting on the bar at the half-mast. Rita was yelling at the crewmembers to stop complaining.
Sandy walked onto deck. All the crew was grumbling incoherently. She caught bits of words, like stupid chest and stupid captain. She looked over the side of the boat, at all the water that surrounded them.
"It-It's beautiful-!" She exclaimed.
Nick called down to her. "Yes that would be the sea." She said sliding down on a rope. She walked over. "What you should be admiring is out there." She said gesturing to the sunrise. Rita still yelling stuff at the crew.
"Yeah...I-I've never been this far out in the sea." She said.
Nick grinned, "No land as far as you can see." She said turning around then stopped. "Um...Except for there..."She blinked seeing a tiny something on the horizon. "What the heck is that?"
"That be what we've been looking for. Isla Cruces." Barbossa said. "Turn the ship to the Starboard side!!" He yelled out. He walked away. "He thought none would find it." He mumbled, smiling to himself.
Nick blinked "Isla Cruces? What is that? And more importantly where?" She hadn't heard of the place surprisingly. Rita was steering the ship and turned the wheel rapidly turning it starboard.
"I have! James said that's where Davy Jones' hid his chest with his heart inside." Sandy said.
Rita had happened to overhear this and walked over. "Yeah he did but thanks to someone (-evil thought about Jack-) he's dead. So what point would it be to go there?" Nick shrugged. "Maybe Captain hadn't heard?" Rita shook his head." He told me when I got here. He knows."
Sandy shrugged. "Maybe he got word of another treasure there." She suggested.
Rita walked away ignoring them. Nick shrugged "Yeah but what? The only thing I can think of is the Fountain of Youth but that's near the Spanish Florida."
Sandy shrugged again. "I heard the crewmates mumbling something about a chest."
A chest?" Nick asked. Well she kinda knew where this was going. They are going to where Davy hid his heart. Supposedly he hid it in a chest. But he was dead so...'Omg he's trying to kill my dad.' The thought ran through her mind. Well it was a good guess.
Sandy nodded. "Ye-" She was cut off.
"I think ye two are meddling into business not to be meddled in." Barbossa said, standing behind Nick.
Nick turned around. "I know what you're doing and you can't!" She was about to shoot him down but then she would be treated with mutiny. Maybe she should...
Barbossa glared at Nick. "And ye going to stop me? Ha! I'm not going to let you stand in me way!" He said. Sandy just stood there, confused.
She drew both pistols and cocked them. "Well I'm going to anyway!" She said pointing them.
Barbossa flinched. "You'd mutiny against your own… captain?" He spat. They were closer to the island now.
"Hey, I don't know what's going on here, but I don't think you should do that!" Sandy said to Nick.
"Oh, and, literary your father's already dead!" Barbossa added.
She glared "Well yours is living dead!" She said to Barbossa. To Sandy she said "He's not my captain if he's going to kill my father." She inched towards the edge of the boat, thinking to jump off, reach the chest first, and kill
Joseph later.
"Not anymore." Barbossa said. He knocked one of her pistols out of one of her hands and grabbed her arm. "You're not leaving this ship. RITA!!" He yelled.
Nick shot at his feet with her other pistol and began trying to get him to let go. She pulled towards the edge of the ship more. Rita looked up finally and ran over.
"She's figure out? A bit late isn't it?"
"Yes it is." Barbossa grunted. "And why'd you put a hole in my ship?!" He exclaimed. "Do you think it'd be possible to take her down to the brig?"
Rita grinned.
"Why certainly." She grabbed Nick's free hand. Nick glared
"Even if you did find the chest you probably don't have the key! " She yelled as Rita dragged her below.
"Oh, really?" Joseph muttered, pulling out a key.
"Wait..." Sandy said and Barbossa stopped. She quickly snatched the key and ran down to the brig. "Nick!! NICK!!" Sandy yelled, looking for her brig.
Nick looked up.
"Oi! Over here!" She called. She was a few rows down. Rita had already gone up.
"I have the key!" She said, running over to her. "I took from Barbossa, and I bet he'll be here soon." She said, showing the key to Nick.
She grinned. She kicked the door and it fell. "I knew never fixing these doors would come in handy." She grabbed Sandy's arm. "Come on, we're going to jump!" She ran up shooting her gun scattering the crew. She ran for the edge.
"Hey, wait!!" Barbossa called. He grabbed Sandy's free arm, the one without the Key. "Where do you think you two are going with me key?" He asked.
"Oh crap." Sandy said.
Nick shot right near his hand. "LET GO!" She said. Thinking he would of in fear of getting shot she grabbed the key from Sandy and jumped calling "Hope ya make it Sandy!"
Barbossa pulled Sandy behind him then let go, making her fall backwards. He ran to the side of the ship. "No!!" He yelled. He pounded his fist on the Pearl and slumped down.
She landed in the water with a great splash and began swimming away from the boat to the shore.
He noticed that she was swimming to the shore. "Hah. FULL SPEED AHEAD!!" He yelled. Sandy stood up, rubbing her head.
She dragged herself up on shore and began running for the rock. "Dammit I hope that's where it is..."She said to herself.
Soon they hit shore. Barbossa got off with Rita and a few crew members with shovels. Sandy decided to follow. They followed Nick's foot tracks.
Nick was preoccupied digging. It was hard with just her hands and she was now using a stick/log. "How deep is the stupid thing?"
"There she is!" One of the crewmembers said, pointing to her. Barbossa walked forward and pulled out his pistol, cocking it. He held it up to her head. "Give me back the key. I don't want to kill you."
She turned and glared then grinned. "I don't have it."
"And why not?" He asked. "Where is it?!"
"I dropped it." She said completely telling the truth. She had dropped it. Probably when she jumped.
"You dropped it?! You clumsy--!!" Barbossa was cut off by a big splash. He turned around to see the Dutchmen coming out of the water close to the island. Sandy gasped.
"Th-That's the Dutchmen?" She asked, completely astonished.
She grinned and stood up completely ignoring the gun to her head. "Yep. That's her. Isn't she awesome?"
Barbossa uncocked his gun and stashed it away. "Who gives a crap about the key, I'm still getting the chest!!" He exclaimed, grabbing a shovel from some crewmember and starting to dig where Nick had just been digging.
"She is." Sandy said. A man came from the Dutchmen to the island. He had stringy black hair.
"Stop." He said in a scratchy voice.
She climbed out of the hole moving aside for Barbossa.
She grabbed a shovel from another random crewmember and went to hit Barbossa on the head with it.
"I must get the chest..." He mumbled. Sandy walked over to Bootstrap.
"Who are you?" She asked. He ignored her.
She grinned and brought the shovel down as hard as she could on his head. She looked to the man on the beach. "Heh. It's granddad." She said mainly to herself.
Joseph fell backwards. "So that makes you... Bootstrap!" Sandy said, happy with herself.
"Why were you two trying to dig up the chest?" He asked.
"Well I was trying to get it way from him. -Points to Barbossa-Cause he had the key and was gonna kill dad." She said.
She took the key off a string around her neck. "Well I think dad needs a better hiding place." She walked over to Bootstrap meaning to give the key to him.
"The key...how'd he get it?" Bootstrap asked. Sandy jumped in the hole to see if Barbossa was ok.
She shrugged. "Ask him." She pointed again to Barbossa.
After pouring water on Barbossa he finally woke up. He climbed out of the hole muttering something and rubbing his head.
"How did you get the key?" Bootstrap asked. Barbossa looked up at him.
"I had a friend get it for me. His name is Jack." He said, smiling.
Nick glared. "Jack? Jack Sparrow?" She demanded. Then a rustle in the bushes and speak of the devil there comes Jack.
"Aye mates. But that's CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow to you." He said doing his little hand thing with the word "Captain"
"Captain Jack- ohmigosh it's him. Hey Nick can I kill him?" Sandy asked, walking over to Nick.
"Why are you here? Do you want the Pearl back?" Barbossa asked.
Jack grinned.
"Oh now I was actually waiting for the rum transport. But if you really want to give the Pearl back, by all due good mate, I'll take her."
Nick glared. "No. I want to. But feel free to take his body back to your dad." She cocked the pistol she had left, the other one on the deck of the Pearl, and aimed it at Jack.
"Ok. That works." Sandy said, smiling. Barbossa sighed.
"No, I'd rather be keeping it, Savvy?" He said.
Jack grinned, "Aye but maybe, we had a deal. I gave you the key and Pearl and I got to stab the heart. But seeing as you're betraying me, and lost the key, I get her back." Nick stared confused.
"What the heck I'm about to kill you? Aren't you gonna defend yourself?" Jack looked at her.
"Right love I should." He cocked his two pistols. Nick grabbed a random one on the ground and cocked it. She pointed one at Barbossa and one at Jack. Jack pointed one at Nick, the other at Barbossa.
Barbossa took out two Pistols and pointed them at Jack. "I'm not thinking so." He said. "And I haven't lost the key. Bootstrap has it." He nodded to Bootstrap. Bootstrap walked over to the hole and picked up the shovel that had knocked out Barbossa. He started digging for the Chest, to remove it and to give it to Will for him to hide somewhere else. Barbossa moved in front of the hole, blocking Jack's path to it. "You're not getting that chest, Jack. Savvy?"
Jack pointed his other pistol at Barbossa. "Well mate, see either I get the chest or the Pearl." Nick kept a shot on each of them.
"Can we get on with this and shoot?"
"Well, you're not getting the chest." Sandy said as Bootstrap had already dug it out and carried it back to the Dutchmen.
"And I'm taking control of the Pearl." Barbossa said. "And will you take your gun off me I'm not going to get the chest!" He barked at Nick.
Nick sighed and moved her other on Jack, he now have 4 on him and Barbossa having two. "There. Happy?" Jack looked at each of the guns pointed at him. "Now here. What say you to having the only: Captain Jack Sparrow on you crew aye?" He said. Nick grinned.
"Yeah he can do the cleaning!"
Jack protested, "Wait a minute! I'm not go- Oh yes. Aye I'll clean."
"Aye, you'll clean." Barbossa said, nodding. He put away his guns. "Back to the Pearl!!" He said walking back.
Nick grinned poking Jack with her pistols. She stopped and walked back to the Pearl. Jack sighed and walked to his old ship as well. 'Don't worry. You'll have your right capt'n back.' He thought.
"Oh and Jack if you do anything stupid, we'll be stopping by your island once again." Barbossa said to Jack.
Jack looked at him. "Um...Aye. Yes mate, wont be doing anything stupid. That's normally the Turner's job." He said which earned him a very evil glare from Nick.
"Yes...well, you're the one who encourages the stupid acts on others." Barbossa said.
Another glare from Nick. Jack inched away. "So. Where are you headed? Captain."
"Rita? Any other treasures in these waters you've heard tell about?" Barbossa asked Rita. Sandy had a questionable look on her face.
"And I have to come along? Why can't I go home? I bet the Navy's gonna come looking soon." Sandy mumbled the last part.
Rita thought a moment. "Well there's always the Fountain of Youth. And I've heard that Jack stole the map from your father Capt'n. "She walked to Jack a semi-evil smile on her face.
"So Jack. Where be this map?" Nick grinned. They were already replacing her teasing with Jacks. Maybe this was gonna be okay.
"The Fountain of Youth? Yes Jack tell us." Barbossa said.
Jack grinned nervously. "Well...Its by the Spanish Florida." He said not really helping at all. Nick sighed.
"Yes everyone knows that." She retorted.
Jack glared a bit the went back to nervous. "Well you see mate. After I was left at Tortuga after the ship left me with a dingy. I sailed to the Spanish Florida and was arrest by the English Navy. So you see mate. I don't have the map anymore. Elizabeth's sweet Commodore does."
Nick grinned. "Well then it'd kill you to know that he's Governor now."
"James? He has the map?!" Sandy burst out. Barbossa laughed.
"What luck! We can send her to get the map for us." He said. Sandy shook her head.
"No way! I'm not stealing from James!" She said. Barbossa chuckled then took out his pistol, holding to her head. He cocked it. "Are you sure?"
Nick suggested. "Why not trade her for the map?" She asked. Jack was now inching below deck for the rum. 'I wonder if they keep it where I did...'
"Jack," Barbossa said, seeing him. "I'd come back here if I was you." He said, moving the pistol to Jack. "That's a good idea, Nick. To Port Royal!" He yelled. "Hoist the Mainsails!!"
Jack walked back up looking down. "Don't you ever drink the rum?" Nick grinned. "Yeah we did. Last night."
"Actually, I don't think we have that much left." Barbossa said. They started for Port Royal. "Sad for you Jack. Maybe we should drop you off in Tortuga, eh?"
-To be continued-
