Thank you to the two people who reviewed this story. Just your luck I had already finished the next chapter and is half way done the third.

I don't own anyone or anything. *Weeps*

Now that that's over, where did the damn rum go?


Chapter Two – It's You Again!

Aragorn and Legolas both got back on their weapons and cloaks before heading to the ship.

"Wanna bet Jack got himself into some sort of trouble?" Legolas asked, looking at the ship.

"That's an easy win," Aragorn said. Just then they heard yelling.

"Pull loose the mooring line! The mooring line!"

Aragorn and Legolas looked at each other as a voice replied.

"He's got me eye! He won't give it back!"

"Pintel and Ragetti," Aragorn and Legolas said as one. Walking around the ship the two friends were arguing.

"How you'd get it back last time?" Pintel asked Ragetti.

"Can I shot something?" Legolas asked. Aragorn nodded. Legolas took out his bow and fired an arrow at the monkey. 'Jack' screeched and dropped the eye. Both pirates turned to see the two Middle-Earthien's standing there.

"Not you two again," Pintel said.

"We're back now deal with it," Legolas said. He climbed up onto the ship and pulled loose the mooring line.

Aragorn started climbing as he saw a group of pirates run out of the jungle. Gibbs, Marty, Cotton, and Cotton's Parrot to name a few. Lastly Will came out.

"Good job boys. Our work's half done!" Gibbs said, clapping Pintel on the back.

"Where's Jack? I won't leave without him!" Will asked, wadding in a water. Aragorn looked at Legolas, who squinted and then his eyes widened.

"Oi!" The Captain was running toward them like the Ringwraiths were on his trail. But instead it was people with spears and the oddest looking bunch Aragorn had ever seen.

"Time to go," Will quickly and faintly say as he started climbing.

Jack ran past a dog – the one from that town – Port Royal – and nodded at it. He then climbed up the rope and turned to the freaky people.

"Alas, my children. You will always remember this day as the day you almost –" Jack's speech was cut off by a wave hitting him. When it was over he just frowned and quickly said, "– Captain Jack Sparrow."

The ship took off from the island and Jack finished climbing aboard the ship. He walked past Aragorn and Legolas, who it seemed no one had noticed yet.

"Let's put some distance between us and this island, and head out to open sea," Gibbs said to Jack as Jack got on a dry coat.

"Yes to the first and yes to the second but only as far as we keep as close to the shallows as possible," Jack replied and turned to Aragorn and Legolas. "You two again."

"Yes, we're back," Legolas said, looking partly annoyed. "What is it this time?"

"What makes you think there's a problem …?" Jack seemed to have forgotten their names.

"Aragorn and Legolas," Aragorn said. "Now back to your question; last time we came here there was a problem. We have reason to believe there's another one."

"That seems a bit contradictory, cap'n," Gibbs said to what Jack said about sticking to the shallows.

"I have every faith in your reconciliatory navigational skills, Master Gibbs. Now where is that monkey? I want to shot something," Jack said, looking for 'Jack'.

"Jack!" Will said, walking over to them and glanced at the two others. "It's you again."

"Nice to see you, clone #2. Clone #1 and I were just wondering what happened to you," Aragorn said.

"I'm not a clone!" Legolas and Will yelled at the same time, both glaring. Aragorn noted that Will's glare looked a lot like a Thranduilion glare. Will turned back to Jack.

"Elizabeth is in danger!"

So that was why they were there.

"Have you ever considered keeping a more watchful eye on 'er, maybe just lock her up somewhere?" Jack asked, looking not that interested.

"She is locked up, in a prison, bound to hang for helping you!"

"There comes a time when one must take responsibility for one's mistakes," Jack said. Aragorn stifled a laugh and Legolas whacked him. Jack had just said that saving his life was a mistake. Will pulled out his sword and pointed it at Jack's chest.

"I need that compass of yours, Jack," he said. "I must trade it for her freedom," both the human and Elf looked confused.

"Who would want a broken compass?" Aragorn whispered to Legolas.

"I'll get back to you on that. I can see you holding the sword-that-was-broken in my mind."

"You're annoying."

Meanwhile Jack had turned to his first mate, Gibbs.

"Mr Gibbs!"

"Aye, cap'n?" Gibbs asked, from the wheel.

"We have a need to travel up river."

"By need, do you mean a trifling need … fleeing, say as in a passing fancy?" Aragorn noted that Gibbs didn't seem too happy about this.

"No. A resolute and unyielding need," Jack replied. Gibbs nodded. It would take a few days to get to where they wanted to go and it wasn't a place Gibbs liked.

"What we need to do is sail to Port Royal with all haste," Will said. Legolas frowned. It might not be a good idea for him to go back there. Last time he was there, well he and Aragorn had nearly been arrested.

"Not a good idea," Aragorn said. "We might not be allowed back there."

"The crazy whelp is right," Jack said and Aragorn glared at him. "Now William, I will trade you the compass, if you help me find this," he pulled out a piece and paper and with Legolas' Elven sight; he could just make out a key.

"You want me to find this?"

"No! You want you to find this! Because the finding of this, finds you incapacitorially finding and or locating in your discovering, the detection of a way to save your dolly-belle ol' … what's-her-face! Savvy?" Jack asked.

"I think he's gone to the loony bin," Aragorn whispered.

"He never left."

"This is going to save Elizabeth?" Will asked, looking not at all convinced with the key.

"How much do you know about Davy Jones?"

"Who?" Aragorn asked. Jack shot a look at him before turning to Will. Aragorn glanced at Legolas who looked just as confused as him.

"Not much."

Jack grinned. Both the Elf and man knew something was up.

"Yeah, it's going to save Elizabeth."

Will walked off, still looking unconvinced. Jack turned to Legolas and Aragorn.

"Now how did you two get here?"

"We went for a swim."

"And when we came up from the water, we were here."

Jack just waved off a hand. "Oi, you Elf, get the monkey. You, help with hauling something. Look for Cotton."

Legolas and Aragorn went their ways to help out. Well at least they knew roughly what to do.

POTCLOTRPOTCLOTR

As Aragorn was working, he glanced at Legolas, who was working with Pintel, Ragetti and Gibbs to capture the monkey. It was quite funny.

"Okay. You are going to shoot at the monkey," he said to Pintel who nodded. "And then I'll sneak up behind him, when he's all freaking out about being shot and then I'll bring him down into the cage."

Then Legolas climbed up the mast until he was where 'Jack' was and waited. Of course this failed, when Pintel nearly shot Legolas in the arm.

"Watch it!"

"Sorry!"

Legolas gritted his teeth and moved quickly behind 'Jack' who at the last second moved away. There was some very colorful cursing that even Jack looked up in surprise. Aragorn chuckled at some of the words.

"I can hear you chuckling you little Orc! Just because your not up here chasing down some crazy demon monkey gives you no right to laugh at me!" Legolas yelled.

"Elven hearing," Aragorn said to who ever didn't know.

After ten more minutes of near captures and people watching the amazing Elven grace, Legolas had the monkey in his hands.

"Open the cage," he said, jumping down from the mast and landing on his feet. Gibbs and Ragetti opened the cage and Legolas shoved 'Jack' into it.

"Now that that's over," Legolas said. To everyone's surprise he climbed back on the mast, and sat there. "It's not a tree, but this will have to do."

Aragorn just sighed and went back to working. Really this Elf was going to give someone a heart attack if he kept that up. Jumping from the masts. Legolas was act like an Elfling.

When his work was done he slipped into the cabin he and Legolas were using and feel asleep. It had been a long day for him.


tbc …

Well that's done for now. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Poor Will and Legolas. Aragorn thinking their clones. Well their not, but he doesn't know that. *Grins*

Just because I feel like it, I have a teaser for the next chapter. It was hard to choose what scene to pick, but I think you would like it.

In the next chapter of Dead Elf's Chest;

"Well, if you believe such things … there's a beast that does the bidding of Davy Jones. A fearsome creature with giant tentacles that'll suction your face clean off! And drag an entire ship down into the crushing darkness … The Kraken."

"I think I would rather battle a Balrog," Aragorn said.

"Now that sounds like a challenge," Legolas asked, interested. Now that seemed like a monster to challenge. Everyone looked at him. "I've battled giant spiders and other things. I might survive a battle with the Kraken. Go on."

"They say the stench of its breath is … Ewugh."

"I've smelt Orcs and dirty humans. Nothing is worse than those two together," Legolas said.

"Hey!"

"Yes, Estel, I was talking about you," Legolas grinned. Aragorn glared at him.

Well read and review please! I'll let you shoot 'Jack' the Monkey if you do.
