This story takes place in an alternate Universe where Jack was never eaten by the Kraken.

When Will got word that Beckett had taken control of the Dutchman he decided enough was enough. In a few days he would lead an all out assault against the pirates. With Elizabeth at his side, they stowed away to Tortuga to find their good friend Jack Sparrow.

When they arrived at Tortuga, weapons sheaved and holstered, they started to walk toward Jacks favorite bar.

"With luck Jack will be in there," Will said to his future wife. 'She has gotten tougher since her first encounter with pirates' Will thought to himself, "Be prepared to defend yourself Elizabeth. These Pirates are drunk enough to kill their mother and care less."

"This won't be the first time I've been in a bar fight," Elizabeth told her future husband remembering how she had to fight her way out of a bar in order to find him. Sure enough, they found Jack and Gibbs at a table drinking down rum. When they approached them Jack looked up.

"William," Jack said trying to stand up, obviously drunk, "what brings you to the Pearl," he looked around, "wait a minute this isn't the Pearl. Gibbs! Did that no good son of a bilge rat Barbossa steal the Pearl?"

"No Jack," Elizabeth said pulling Jack from Gibbs, "The Pearl is docked a few meters off shore. We need your help."

"You need my help. HAHAHAHA! This is hilarious! The great pirate Alexan," Jack didn't finish as Will covered his mouth.

"Not here Sparrow," He said pulling him up, "Let's go," and they left the bar and walked toward the dock.

When they got to the Pearl, Will took Jack's magic compass that pointed to what he wanted most. What he wanted most was to find his father that was on the Dutchman. The compass pointed northeast.

"Alright," Jack said walking up to the Helm, "You kidnap me, you bring me to the Pearl after hiring extra men from Tortuga, and now you set sail to the last know location of the Dutchman? Why, pray tell, are we going after her?"

"Because Jack," Will replied letting Cotton take the wheel, "One, I need to free my father; and two Becket has taken control of it. The heart is on board."

"Norrington," Jack sided snapping his fingers, "He's the rat that stole the heart from my jar of dirt,"

"Forget the Jar of dirt Jack. We need to get ready to fight the Dutchman."

After sailing for three days, they saw her, The Flying Dutchman, a ship with nearly unmatched fire power.

"Prepare to Broadside!' Elizabeth yelled as the two ships came close to one another.

"EITC men are on the ship captain!"Gibbs yelled from the crow's nest.

"Load grape shot!" Will yelled to the men as they loaded three top cannons with shards of class, silverware, and anything sharp they could find.

On the Dutchman they too were loading their cannons.

"FIRE!" Davy Jones yelled.

"FIRE ALL!" Elizabeth yelled almost as loud. The cannon balls and shards of other things flew at each other. The masts were damaged on both ships and about 20 men of the Dutchman were killed. The hooks were loaded and launched. They punched through the hull of the ship and the Pearl started to pull the Dutchman toward them, when they got close enough the crew of the Black Pearl engaged the Flying Dutchman. Swords clashed and guns fired. Jack was fighting Davy Jones up on the mast while Will and Elizabeth fought on deck. Just then a key fell from the sky. Will noticed the key as the Key for the chest of Davy Jones.

"Come on," Will said and he and Elizabeth ran to find the chest. When they found it Elizabeth screamed. James Norrington was stabbed through the heart and was dying. When Elizabeth walked to ward him he opened his eyes.

"El… Elizabeth?" He asked in a low voice as Will opened the chest. Inside the heart was beating slowly.

"James. Listen to me take this knife and stab the heart. You'll be free." She said tears in her eyes. James slowly took the knife and let go. His arm hit the chest and the knife went through the heart. Davy Jones fell off the mast into the sea. The crew walked toward the body of James Norrington chanting,

"The Dutchman must have a Captain. The Dutchman must have a Captain." The remaining crew of the Pearl returned to the Pearl as the Dutchman sank into the sea.

When it resurfaced five minutes later, Will noticed that the crew had lost the fish parts of them. He even saw his father free of his service and James Norrington alive and at the helm. The two ships came close to each other and a gangplank was lowered and Will, Jack, and Elizabeth walked onto the Dutchman. James had freed everyone from their service and stood at the helm. Will and Elizabeth ran to Will's father Bootstrap Bill. Will embraced his father and introduced him to Elizabeth. They asked James a favor before he went into the netherworld for ten years.

"James," Elizabeth asked him, "Will you marry us? Me and Will I mean?"

"Well considering you saved me from death, yes." James said walking in front of the wheel. "Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join William Turner and Elizabeth Swan in holy matrimony. Elizabeth Swan do you take William Turner to be your husband?"

"I do." She said looking at Will.

"And do you William Turner take Elizabeth Swan as wife?"

"I do." Will said.

"Then by the powers invested in me as captain of the Flying Dutchman I pronounce you Man and wife. You may kiss you bride." And kiss they did.

They returned to Port Royal after Jack dropped them off in Tortuga. Will continued to work as a blacksmith. A few days after they returned, Elizabeth came out of their room and told her husband,

"Will. I 'm with child."

A.N. So what do you think? The rest of the story will take place twenty years later when Will's son is all grown up. A girl will come in and ask to be Will's apprentice. Will is also the pirate lord of Port Royal called Alexander. Unknown to everyone minus his son and wife. And of course Jack
