Chapter 4: Escape from Port Royal
Sora, Jack, Will, Roxas and Namine were hiding in an alley way in Port Royal from the guards.
"So, what's the plan? Are we going to take one of the ships?" Roxas asked.
"First things first, Roxas. You three need to get new clothes, especially Ms. Swann," Sora said.
"Our clothes are fine," Namine argued.
"You can't really save your sister if you trip on a rope and fall off the ship due to your dress," Sora retorted.
"Sora is right lass, you must lose the dress," Jack said as he kept an eye out for any guards.
"Alright, fine I'll be back," Namine said.
"I'll go with you," Roxas said as he followed her.
"What about us?" Will asked.
"You need to go get some weapons for you and Roxas. Once you're all done, meet us down at the bridge near the docks. Got it?" Sora asked and everyone nodded in agreement. "Go and be careful around the guards," Sora said as everyone went off on their own.
(Tailor Store)
Roxas and Namine walked into the store looking for new clothes for Namine. The clerk walked out from the back when he heard the bell door ring.
"Oh, Miss Swann. It's good to see you," The clerk said.
"Hello, Jonathan. How are you doing after the attack?" Namine asked.
"As well as everyone else. Luckily, the pirates did not steal anything too important," Jonathan said.
"Anything you need help with Jon?" Roxas asked.
"No thank you for the offer though Roxas," Jon said as he moved a box into the back.
"You know him?" Namine asked.
"I would help him move some of his new products into the store and rearrange some stuff," Roxas said.
"So, how can I help you today?" Jonathan asked coming out of the back.
"I was hoping you would help me find a new outfit," Namine said.
"Oh, a new dress already? I was hoping the one I gifted to your father-" Jonathan said.
"N-no, thank you for that Jonathan, it was beautiful. I mean, an outfit to work on a ship," Namine said.
"A ship? I thought all ship travel was prohibited for civilians," Jonathan asked.
"It's just in case father plans for another trip. I want to help with the sailing," Namine said.
"Hmm, I think I might have something for you, give me a minute," Jonathan said as he searched around the store. He came back to her holding black pants, boots, a white jacket and under shirt.
"These should suffice," Jonathan said. Namine looked them over and smiled.
"These are perfect! Thank you, Jonathan," Namine said.
"No thanks needed, I always enjoy helping you and your sister out with looking the best in Port Royal," Jonathan said. Namine smiled as she continued to look over the outfit. She always liked the color white mostly because of how clean and bright it was, Elizabeth was always into yellow, always making them stand out more than everyone else who wore colors like brown, red, or blue. This also sometimes brought in some unwanted attention, such as young men trying to get their hands in marriage, though if they were too persistent, a good kick to the shin got them running. Their father would always push to start looking for proper suitors and would sometimes invite young heirs to try their hand but the answer was always no.
"How much do we owe you Jon?" Roxas asked.
"Well, the usual price for it would be 10 coins but for now 5 would suffice," Jon said. Roxas pulled out 5 coins and handed them to Jon.
Thank you so much, Jon. I hope you repair the shop quickly," Namine said as she and Roxas walked out.
"Anytime Namine, please stay safe," Jon said as he continued working in his shop.
"Thank you for paying for this Roxas," Namine said.
"Your welcome. Now let's find you a place to change and then we can meet up with the others," Roxas said as they walked through the city.
(Later)
Sora, Jack, and Will were looking on as the Navy were boarding their main ships, the Interceptor and the Dauntless underneath the bridge that led to the docks. Sora heard some water splashing behind them and he cocked his pistol and turned around to see Roxas and Namine running to them.
"Glad you made it safely," Sora said as he looked over Namine's outfit. "Nice but you are definitely going to stand out with that white," Sora said.
"Sorry, it's just my favorite color," Namine said as she looked down.
"No problem, you'll just have to extra careful," Sora said as he looked backed at the ships.
"So, what's the plan? Are we going to steal the Dauntless?" Roxas asked.
"The proper saying is commandeer and no, we're going to commandeer that ship," Sora said as he pointed at the Interceptor. "We'll need it to catch the Pearl, not blow it pieces," He finished. Will handed one of his swords and an extra pistol to Roxas as they got ready to go.
"Before we go, one last thing to tackle," Jack said as he and Sora turned to the others. "How far are all of you willing to go to save her?" Jack asked.
"I'd die for her," Will answered quickly.
"She's my sister, I'd do anything for her," Namine said.
"Oh, good," Jack said.
"One more question?" Sora said as everyone turned to him. "How is your swimming?" Sora said as he smirked.
(Later)
Sora and Roxas were swimming around to the port side of the ship while Jack, Namine, and Will were using one of the rowboats in order to walk the ocean floor. Sora and Roxas climbed up the side when Namine joined them.
"Jack and Will are in place," Namine said. Sora nodded and opened one of the cannon windows.
"You should go below decks. We'll get you when it's safe," Sora suggested. Namine nodded as she crawled through the window.
"Be careful okay?" Namine said.
"Got it," Roxas said as he and Sora continued climbing up. As they were climbing up, Jack's voice rang over the ship.
"Everyone stay calm, we are taking over the ship!" Jack said as the navy turned to face him and Will.
"Aye, Avast!" Will shouted, making all the crew laugh at them. Sora simply shook his head at Will's remark.
"This ship cannot be crewed by two men. You'll never make it out of the bay," The Captain said. Sora got up and pulled out his guns and pointed it at the back of the Captain's head.
"How about four men? With two of those men being Sora Highwind and Jack Sparrow," Sora said as he and Jack cocked their pistols. "Savvy?" They both said. In no time at all, the crew abandoned ship, using a rowboat to sail to the Interceptor.
"That was almost too easy," Roxas said.
"We're not outta of here yet. Jack, Will, release the sails. Roxas, get Namine," Sora said as he put his pistol away. Everyone nodded as they went to do their job. Sora went below decks and found the rudder chain to the ship. He pulled his knife out and cut the chain, preventing the ship from turning. He went back up to see the sails down and everyone was looking behind them to see the Interceptor quickly catching up to them.
"Everyone, to the front of the ship and stay low," Jack said as they ran to the front and took cover. The Navy soon started boarding the ship led by Commodore Norrington as they searched the ship for them.
"Now," Sora said as everyone swung across from the Dauntless to the Interceptor. Will and Roxas cut the ropes connecting the two ships as Sora released the sails as Jack took the wheel.
"Thank you, Commodore, for getting us ready to make way. We'd have a hard time of it by ourselves!" Jack said as he waved his hat in the air. Sora took off his hat and bowed with a smile on his face. The crew took fire at the them but they all took cover in time. They continued to sail away as the Dauntless lagged behind.
"Aren't they going to chase after us?" Namine asked, walking up to Sora.
"Not without the rudder chain being disabled, they're going to be stuck there for awhile," Sora smiled as he walked up to Jack.
"Now we have to find Gibbs," Sora said.
"Last I know, he was in Tortuga. While there, we need to find ourselves a crew," Jack said as Sora nodded. He looked around the ship as he saw Will working on his sword while Roxas and Namine looked out to the open ocean.
"Hey, Roxas?" Sora yelled as he walked up to him.
"Yeah?" Roxas asked. Sora pulled out one of his swords.
"Why don't you give Namine some basic training? She's going to need it for where we're going," Sora said as he handed Roxas his sword.
"Sure," Roxas said with a smile as he walked up to Namine and handed her the sword. They started practicing as Sora walked back to Jack.
"When I was a lad living in England, my mother raised me by herself. After she died, I came out here, looking for my father," Will said to them.
"Good to know," Sora said as he held the wheel while Jack was working on the ropes.
"My father, Will Turner. It was at the jail that after you learned my name did you agree to help. I'm not a simpleton, Jack. You knew my father," Will said. Sora and Jack shook their heads, knowing this talk was coming. They stopped what they were doing and turned to Will.
"Yeah we knew him. Probably, two of the few men who knew him as William Turner. Everyone else just called him Bootstrap or Bootstrap Bill," Jack said.
"Bootstrap?" Will said confused.
"He was a good man, good pirate. Now I'm starting to understand why you looked so familiar," Sora said as he went back to the wheel.
"That's not true. He was a merchant sailor. A good respectable man who obeyed the law," Will argued.
"He was a bloody pirate, a scallywag," Jack retorted.
"My father was not a pirate," Will said as he pulled out his sword in anger.
"Put it away son. It's not worth beating you again," Jack said as he maned the wheel.
"You didn't beat me. You ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I'd kill you," Will said when Sora held up a sword to Will's neck.
"Try it and you'll fulfill the promise you made to die for her," Sora said as he pressed the blade closer to Will's throat.
"Easy Sora," Jack said. Sora slowly removed the blade and sheathed it. "Then that's not much incentive for me to fight fair, then is it?" Jack said as he spun the wheel around, making one of the sails turn around and right into Will, making him dangle over the sea. Jack picked up the sword Will dropped and pointed it at him. Roxas and Namine walked up to them shocked at what's going on.
"What are you doing?!" Roxas asked.
"Giving Will a much-needed talk," Sora said.
"Now as long as you're just hanging there, pay attention. The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do. For instance, you can accept that father was a pirate and a good man or you can't. But pirate is in your blood boy, so you'll have to square with that one day. Now, we can let you drown but we can't bring this ship into Tortuga all by ourselves, savvy?" Jack said as he turned the wheel again, bringing Will back to the deck.
"We knew your father Will and while he may have been a pirate, he was a good and honorable man. So, it doesn't matter if he was a pirate, he was still a man you should know and respect," Sora said.
"So, can you sail under the command of a pirate, or can you not?" Jack said as he held out his sword to him. Will slowly took it as he looked up at them.
"Tortuga?" Will asked.
"Tortuga," Jack and Sora said with a smile on their faces.
And that's it. Sora, Jack, Roxas, Namine, and Will have escaped Port Royal and are now on their way to Tortuga to get a proper crew. Will they save Elizabeth and get the Black Pearl back? Follow along and find out. Now onto the reviews:
Soulofnone911: Thanks. I appreciate the offer, always enjoy hearing ideas. Also, there's a comic?!
The Keeper of Worlds: She'll be a part of the crew who enjoys flirting with Sora but he can talk to her about anything.
Trafalgar's Pet: Thanks for the love man. Really appreciate it. I don't plan to stop but it's going to be a long series along with my KH and TT story. So, hopefully, nothing stops me.
Guest1: Maybe, I'll have to work him in with Beckett.
Guest2: Definitely, Jack knew them before he got to Port Royal, so Sora will know them as well.
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, please favor, please follow, and please review! Until the next chapter, take it easy guys! Peace!
