Tessa, Jack, Will and the crew were now far out on their venture. There had not been any hassles, nor worries yet. The blue waves splashed loudly up against the side of the ship as it sailed gracefully through the Caribbean Sea.
A sailor stood at the bow of the ship with a telescope, eyeing the seas ahead of them.
"Cap'n" He shouted suddenly.
"Yes?" Both Tessa and Jack answered.
"We're comin' up along another ship." He replied. Tess stood up, hurrying over to the man and taking the telescope from him. Raising it to her eye, she peered through it.
"That'd be Bill all right." She muttered.
"I thought Bill Turner was dead." Jack commented. Tessa smacked him across the back of the head.
"Not Bill Turner. Barbossa's nephew Bill."
"Oh..." The man sighed, pausing to think, "How do you know so much about pirates anyway?"
"That's something we all like to know."
"Just asking." Tessa turned around, handing him the telescope.
"We're only minutes away, get ready to fight. No cannons or guns, swords only. Do you understand?" Jack nodded, "Call me when we've approached them." With that, the young woman hurried off to down below.
Not even five minutes of silent preparation had passed when both ships came to each other. Jack's crew laid walking planks from one ship to the other, connecting them. Bill took three steps onto them, closer to Jack.
"What do ye want?" Bill asked. Jack opened his mouth to reply when a voice came from behind him.
"What do you think I want, Bill?" A female voice, not as gentle or soothing as it had been before, spoke out. Jack turned around, and there stood pirate legend, Typhoon Tessie. (a.k.a, Tessa Norrington).
"Typhoon Tessie..." Anyone and everyone who knew of her breathed in unison. The young woman moved toward the evil captain, taking three steps onto the plank between ships.
"Why do you think I'm here Bill?" She asked.
"I never know why you come out on the sea, it's not a place for women. My uncle knew that, and he left you in Port Royal long ago, and that's where you were supposed to stay."
"I did stay there, up until now."
"Well if you won't stay there, there's only one thing left to try." Bill reached for his sword, pulling it out of the sheath. Tessa did the same while running forward, advancing on the pirate. The two were then involved in a ferocious fight, swords flew all over, trying to impale the other. The fight between to two had been going on for quite a while, when Bill shouted out, "Get them!" His crew then advanced on the others.
Tessa jumped, avoiding the sword gracefully, many of the pirates and crew were shocked, they stood in awe as they had never seen a woman fight this well. The fight continued much longer, Tessie began backing up, taking it back to Jack's ship. For one second, she purposely let her guard down, letting Bill's weapon impale her stomach.
Every living thing froze in shock as the sword entered her pale skin. Terrified faces filled both ships, how could this legend be killed so easily. However, this was not the end. Tessa sighed lightly, removing the sword from her body.
"Bill, we both know that neither of us can be killed, so I want one thing from you."
"What's that?"
"Find your medallion by sundown tomorrow, and come to the Isle de Morta with it."
"Why should I do that?"
"I have mine, and I don't want to be rotting away inside forever, and neither do you. If you aren't there by sundown, I'll hunt you down, and kill your crew, take your ship, and leave you for undead." She thrust her sword at him, "Now go!" Bill walked briskly back to his own ship as the crew pulled it away slowly.
Tessa watched carefully as Bill's ship sailed away into the distance. Sighing lightly, she turned around to Jack.
"Well, we're got 'till sundown tomorrow. Let's eat and get some rest." She turned to go into the bottom.
"It's good to have ya' back Tess." Jack patter her shoulder as they went off to eat.
