Chapter 1: The Meeting of Friends

"Sparrow! Up to the Crow's Nest! We need a bird eye's view," Captain Morgan shouted to the young pirate Jack Sparrow.

Jack was currently part of the crew of the ship, The Wicked Wench. After being a captain of his own ship, The Barnacle and going on a multitude of adventures of his own, he decided to go back to being a simple and honest pirate under a captain's orders. Being at the age of eighteen, Jack wanted take this time to decide what he wanted to do with his pirate life and how he was going to do it. When he was younger, he wanted to discover ancient artifacts and weapons and become the strongest person of the sea but this led to him bringing chaos upon himself and his former crew. He also came to understand that he didn't desire power or wealth, he wanted freedom: freedom to sail anywhere or go anywhere without someone telling him how or where to go.

But for now, he'll just have to make do with where he was right now.

Jack dropped the rug he was using to clean the starboard of the ship and started climbing up to the Crow's Nest. Captain Morgan was like any other pirate captain to work under: tough but fair. As long as you did your fair share of work then you get your fair share of whatever treasure was found. The crew was okay as well, though no one really stood out to him as much.

He finally climbed up to the Crow's Nest and started scanning around for anything interesting on the horizon like ships or land. He saw the shape of a ship on the starboard side of the Wench with a cloud of smoke hovering over it.

"Captain! Sunken ship on the starboard side!" He shouted down to Morgan. Morgan pulled out a spyglass and looked into the distance.

"Could be a trap. Let's go take a peek," Morgan said as he rotated the wheel so the Wench headed towards the damaged ship. As the Wench got closer, Jack saw that the ship was heavily damaged, on fire and slowly sinking into the sea. Pieces of wood and shrapnel were all over the place and some of the crew were floating in the ocean. The anchor was dropped and Jack and Morgan looked closer at the ship. He also saw the flag that was flying was a pirate flag.

"Doesn't seem to be any survivors and any treasure that is left would already be pillaged or lost," Morgan said.

"Should we send out a boat to look?" Jack asked.

"There'd be no point, Jack. It'd be a waste of our time," Morgan said as he walked away from him. "Raise the anchor," Morgan ordered. Jack continued to look at the sinking ship until his eyes landed on one of the crewmen. He seemed to be a young boy with brown spiky hair and he his body was laying against one of the broken pieces of wood. Jack was about to walk away when he suddenly saw the boy move his arm to get a better grip of the piece of wood.

"He's alive! One of them is alive!" He shouted to Morgan and dove into the water.

"Jack! Drop the anchor and get a rope ready!" Morgan quickly ordered and the crew got to work. Jack continued to swim to the boy and eventually grabbed him by the arm. As he got a closer look, he saw that the boy was around 13-14 years old and was wearing black clothes and had a crown necklace around his neck. He started to paddle back to the ship with one arm while the other held the boy's arm. Suddenly, a white rope was thrown next to Jack and he grabbed onto it and started to get pulled back to the Wench with the boy in tow. When they got up to the deck, the boy started coughing and sputtering salt water out while Jack grabbed a white sheet and draped it over the shivering boy. Captain Morgan pushed his way pass the circling crew and walked up to Jack and the boy.

"He was alive. I couldn't leave him behind captain," Jack said. Morgan shook his head for a little bit before looking back down to Jack.

"He's your responsibility now, Jack. If he does anything stupid, it's on your head," Morgan said and Jack nodded in response. "Everyone else, back to work!" Morgan said and the crew dispersed. Jack looked down at the boy and saw that he was still coughing, so he went down to the cellar and grabbed two bottles of rum and handed one to the boy.

"Drink up, kid," Jack said as he sat down next to the boy, uncorked his bottle and took a swig. The boy quickly took the bottle, opened it and started drinking really fast.

"Woah not too fast, kid," Jack said and the boy put the drink down.

"Thanks for saving me, mate," the boy said.

"You owe me for that. What happened to your ship? Other pirates?" Jack asked and the boy shook his head.

"British Navy. My idiot captain thought we could take down a man 'o war, which of course lead to that," The boy said as he pointed towards the sinking ship while taking another drink.

"What's your name?" The boy asked.

"Jack. Jack Sparrow," Jack said.

"Sora. My name is Sora Highwind," Sora said he presented his hand and Jack shook it in response.

And that's it. So, in this story, Sora will follow with Jack through the movies and will be like a best friend to him. Also, Sora won't have the keyblade in this since it would make him way too overpowered in this but I do have something special planned for him. Also, I'll try to see how I can incorporate the other KH characters into this as well. I would appreciate any suggestions you guys have for this, please favor, please review, and please follow. See you guys in the next story. Peace.
