Oh, and this is not true to the time line and I know the lines are not excalty correct to the film. D


When they got to the Black Pearl, they started to untie the ropes getting ready to set sail and they were in good fortune as the tide was in. They prepared everything and then Will said "What about Jack? I won't leave without him!"

They then suddenly heard a voice call "Oi! Stop!"

They all saw Jack running towards them, but behind him followed the natives, chasing him down the beach.

"Time to go" muttered Will as he and Gibbs climbed up onto the deck.

"Hurry Jack!" shouted Anna

Jack approached the ship in a panic and Anna helped him onto the deck as the ship started to sail away as they heard the natives cry.

"Let's keep some distant from us and that island" said Gibbs

"Only if we keep to the swallows" remarked Jack and he walked onto the top deck as Will followed and he said "Jack, I need that compas"

"Well, you can't have it" simply replied Jack

Will then pulled out his sword and pointed it towards Jack.

"I need that to save Elizabeth!" replied Will

"If you help me find this" explained Jack as he pulled a drawing of a key out "I will give you the compas"

"This is gonna save Elizabeth?" questioned Will

"How much do you know about Davy Jones?" asked Jack

"A little" answered Will

"Yeah, it's gonna save Elizabeth" said Jack and he turned to Gibbs "We have a need to go up river"

"Why are we going up river?" Anna whispered to Jack

"To find the Dutchman" he replied

"Why did you make a deal with Davy Jones?" Anna asked him again.

"Unleash the small boats!" Jack ordered, trying to pretend he didn't hear what she said.

They rowed down the misty river as fireflies lit their way through the mysterious forest to Tia Dalma's hut. The river gently swished onto the side of the boat as the small hut came into sight. They tied the small boats to the old tiny deck and Jack went to the door. He slowly opened it and Tia was sitting at the table and she smiled "Jack Sparrow"

Then Anna, Gibbs, and Will followed Jack in and she welcomed them.

"Tia" smiled Jack "We need you're help"

"You know I demand payment" she snapped

"Aye, and I have it" replied Jack and he put a cage on the table with the monkey inside. Jack took out his pistol and shot it "Look, an undead monkey!"

Tia looked at the monkey and nodded "The payment is fair" and she opened the cage door and the monkey ran into another room. Anna watched it, as it jumped onto a pair of black boots, as it looked as if someone was laying there. Anna was going to investigate further but then noticed the conversation going on.

"It seems we have a need to find this" Will said and he put the drawing of the key onto the table.

"The key goes to a chest" Tia informed and she turned to Jack "The compass you bought, can't find this?"

"Well…" Jack begun to explain but then Tia laughed "Ah, Jack Sparrow does not know that he wants"

"So, what's in this chest?" asked Gibbs

"Have you ever heard of Davy Jones?" remarked Tia

They all nodded, because what pirate hadn't heard of him?

"He fell in love with a women as untameable as the ocean and one she broke he's heart, he could not stand the pain, so he toured open his chest and ripped out he's heart and placed it in a chest and hid it from the world, this is the chest you seek" explained Tia "The key, the Captain keeps with him at all times"

"You knew this?" Will snapped at Jack

"I did not!" objected Jack "But now we do, so you jump aboard the Flying Dutchman, get the key and save you're bonny lass, eh?"

"Show me you're hand!" demanded Tia

Jack, whose hand had been covered up for days, took the bandage off to reveal the black spot.

"Black Spot!" exclaimed Gibbs while turning three times and spat on the floor. Tia walked into another room and started to crash things about, while mumbling to herself.

"What are you keeping a secret Jack?" snapped Anna

But before Jack could reply, Tia came back out with a jar of dirt and handed it to Jack.

"This is a jar of dirt" Jack said, confused "Is the jar of dirt going to help?"

"If you don't want it, give it back" replied Tia

"No" answered Jack, protecting the dirt.

"Then it helps" smiled Tia

"It seems we have a need to find the Flying Dutchman" said Will

Tia sat back down and rattled objects in her hand and chanted "A touch, of destiny!" and the ting objects settled across the table map.


They followed the directions that Tia had given them. The weather had made the ocean rough, and the Black Pearl rocked about as the rain sprayed onto the crew. They then saw a ship is the distance in pieces on the ocean's surface.

"That's the Flying Dutchman?" asked Will

"It must be" answered Anna

"It doesn't look like much" replied Will

"Neither do you, but do not understate her" said Jack

"What's the plan?" asked Anna

"I go over there and get Jack's bloody key" answered Will

"And what if there are crew men?" remarked Jack

"I cut down anyone in my path" replied Will and he climbed down the ladders into the small boat.

"Good plan, simple, easy to remember" smiled Jack

They then saw Will aboard the ship, and they watched closely at what was going on. Suddenly a monstrous ship came bursting from under the ocean. Anna jumped back not expecting it and she said "Someone needs to help Will"

"He can help himself" muttered Jack

"Can't we get a closer look?" asked Gibbs and then Jack got small telescope and looked closely into it.

"I can see Davy" mumbled Jack, peering through the telescope. Suddenly Davy Jones and his crew appeared on the deck of the Black Pearl. The sea phantoms viscously held onto Jack's crew as Jack stepped back, looking a bit horrified. Anna threw the sea phantom's arm off her and stepped up next to Jack as Davy moved towards him.

"You have a debt to pay" boomed Davy "She is alive and you have been Captain of the Black Pearl for five years now!"

"Jack, what is he on about?" asked Anna

Davy chuckled to himself as Jack mumbled "How do you think that wound healed?"

Anna remembered the mutiny, the fight and looked confused "You made a deal with him, to save me?"

"Yes" muttered Jack

"Jack – You shouldn't have!" she exclaimed

"But…" Jack begun to say, and then he was cut off by Davy "No time for this now, you have a debt to settle, one soul to serve a hundred years on my ship"

"One soul, you have my payment, it's on you're ship" remarked Jack

"One soul is not equal to another's" snapped Davy

"Ah, ha! So, we've established the proposal, now we're just haggling over a price?" replied Jack

"Price?" questioned Davy

"How many souls do you think mine is worth?" asked Jack

Davy then thought for a second, and replied "A hundred"

Jack looked disappointed with the result and remarked "Have you not met Will Turner? He's noble, heroic, terrific soprano. And did I happen to mention – he's in love, with a girl. Due to be married, betrothed. Dividing him from her and her from him would only be half as cruel as actually allowing them to be joined in holy matrimony, eh?" convinced Jack

Davy looked sad, but quickly snapped out of it and warned "99 souls, 3 days, I keep the boy as good faith payment. But I wonder, can you live with yourself, condemning an innocent man, a friend?"

"Yeah, I'm good with it" smiled Jack

Davy then grabbed Jack's hand as he flinched as Davy ripped out the dreaded black spot and himself and his sea phantoms went back to the Flying Dutchman.

"I feel solid and unusual" mumbled Jack

"And how do you intend to harvest these ninety-nine souls in three days?" questioned Gibbs

"Fortunately, he was mum as the condition in which these souls need be" smiled Jack

"Ah…Tortuga!" grinned Gibbs

They set sail for Tortuga, leaving Will on the Flying Dutchman, not knowing his fate or who he'd meet. Anna sat on the steps that led to the top deck, wondering about the events that had just past. Then Jack came up and sat next to her, she looked at him and said "Why did you do it?"

"Because you're my friend" he mumbled

"We weren't very good friends back then" smiled Anna, remembering.

"But you fought for me, so think as it as a thank you" grinned Jack

"So really, I'm meant to be dead" Anna said, grimly.

"Who's to know, love? But you're alive, that's all that matters. Don't think things like that" reassured Jack

"You shouldn't have done it Jack, look what trouble you got yourself into" replied Anna

"But it was worth it" smiled Jack, as they thought of their adventures over the years.
