Yo Fanfiction and fanfic readers! RDF1 here with the final update for Bwen 10 in the Caribbean.
Ben: What! It's over already!?
Gwen: Not yet Ben, we still have a while to go.
Jack: Well, it's not the end in any case, yet it's the end for now. I still have more to do after this.
Will: Well, at least there a FEW good things happening in this chapter, right Elisabeth?
Elisabeth: Right. I just have one question though: Why am I 'King', when I'm clearly a woman?
RDF1: It's just the title, Elisabeth. Besides, seeing you as the Pirate King only makes sense, as according to the Pirate Code. As Pirate King you are to be present when Parley is discussed. And all the Parleys have been discussed in your presence from what we've seen, minus one.
Elisabeth: Wow, you're right. I never thought of it that way.
RDF1: Anyways, despite not wanting to end it, I kinda have to. So, if you guys wouldn't mind?
Ben: Right, come on guys.
Will: Let's let RDF1 get to work.
Disclaimer: Don't own anything but this idea. If you COULD get paid for writing Fanfics, then I would be making SOME money, but others would be making mints if that were true.
Also, another character from Ben 10 is coming, try and guess without skipping.
(Chapter Begin)
(Recap)
"Who among you do you name as Captain?" asked Jones.
"Captain," said Dai Wan, hurriedly, "Her!"
"HER!" was the following response from the crew.
"Captain?" asked Jones, having not seen a Female Pirate Captain in some months.
"TOW the ship!" ordered Norrington, "Put the prisoners in the Brig. The Captain and her sister shall have my quarters.
"I prefer to stay with my crew, thanks," responded Elizabeth, stepping back to join what was now in her crew.
"And I stay with my sister," added Gwendolyn, joining her.
"Fine," resigned Norrington, "Put them all into the brig.
"Elizabeth, Gwendolyn," whispered Norrington, pulling them both close to him, "I swear: Had I known…"
"Known what?" asked Gwen, stepping back.
"What side you chose?" followed Elizabeth.
They joined their crew, who was led to the brig, and the Dutchman, with what is now Elizabeth's ship, being towed behind.
(Recap End)
Meanwhile, Ben was left in the brig, in a cell across from Will.
"So, care to explain what that was up there," asked Will, bitterness hinted in his voice.
Ben remained quiet.
"I've known you for nearly a decade, Ben. I think I'm entitled to an explanation at least."
"You wouldn't understand," said Ben finally, a defeat tone in his voice.
"Try me."
"You've never seen me when I'm out there, on duty. Because of my mark, I've had to hide everything from the pirates, my fellow officers, even from Norrington for a time. It became even harder for me to do so once I returned, having experienced Pirating before."
"So then, that day, nearly three months ago?"
"It tore my heart just seeing Pirates I DIDN'T know being hanged in Port Royal. Seeing you, all of you, I had to force myself below deck so I wouldn't give anything away."
"What about Gwen? You've left her in quite a predicament."
"I wouldn't be surprised if she hated me."
"She doesn't hate you, my friend. Disappointed maybe, angry yes, but she doesn't hate you," said Will, finishing picking the lock on his cell and began working on Ben's, "She's more upset than anything. After everything that's happened, I would kill myself if I ever heard Elisabeth hating me. Same with Gwen hating you."
"Let's get out of here. You have a trail to leave."
"Found me out eh?" asked Will, as they headed up top, silently as to not disturb anyone. They gathered the dead bodies of the navy men and gathered them at the bow of the ship.
After tossing over about a dozen men, they heard a voice they'd come to loathe, yet the very same person that the voice came from was the very reason they escaped: Jack Sparrow.
"You two escaped the brig even quicker than I expected," said Jack Sparrow, when the two turned to him, he continued, "Do you noticed anything?"
Ben had to sweatdrop at the fact that Jack confronted them alone, while William looked bewildered.
"Rather," continued Jack, "Do you notice something that's not there to be noticed?"
"You haven't raised an alarm," guessed Will.
"Odd, isn't it?" replied Jack, moving towards them, "Not as odd as this. Come up with this all by your lonesome?"
"I said to myself, 'think like Jack'," informed Will.
"This is what you've arrived at? It's like you don't know me at all. Lead Beckett to Shipwreck Cove as to gain his trust and accomplish your own ends? How does dear Elisabeth feel about this?"
Will's silence answered for him.
"You've not told her, have you?"
"Like he's had a chance to do so since Sao Fang found you guys," said Ben, "I'd be surprised if he's found time to tell anyone. I already knew about this."
"I'm losing her, guys," said Will, "Every step I make for my father, is a step away from Elisabeth."
'Not as far as you may think,' thought Ben, 'Jack's up to something.'
"If you lock away your heart, you'll lose her for certain," confirmed Jack, "If I might lend a machete to your intellectual thicket? Avoid the choice all together?"
"And how would he go about doing that?" asked Ben, "Because from the way I see it, Will either kills Jones to save the world from Beckett, or let him rule the seas while he hangs alongside his beloved."
"Why not change the facts, let someone ELSE dispatch Jones," replied Jack.
"Who?" asked Will, "Ben? He's not going anywhere near that bloody heart with a blade. He's had enough of Jones to last him a lifetime."
Ben rolled his eyes, as Jack looked at Will funny.
"He means HIM," said Ben.
"Death has a curious way of reshuffling one's priorities," said Jack, before proposing, "Let me kill Jones, release your father from his service, and you can be with your charming murderess."
"But you have to do the job though, Jack," countered Will, "You have to ferry the souls to the next world, forever."
"Or end up like Jones," finished Ben, emphasizing the point by giving the illusion of tentacles from where his beard would be if he let it grow out.
"I don't have a face for tentacles. But, immortal has to count for something," replied Jack, before pulling out his compass and giving it to Will.
"What's this for?" asked Will, accepting the compass.
"Think like me, it'll come to you," finished Jack, before breathing his bad breath in Will's face.
Using that distraction, Jack 'accidentally' knocked Will overboard, sending down a barrel with a dead Navy officer after him.
"Give my regards to Davy Jones!" said Jack, before turning away.
"AND WILL?" shouted Ben, though only Will and Jack could hear him, "If you get a chance: Get the 9 silver coins Beckett has, won't you? You know which ones I'm talking about!"
(AN1)
Things weren't looking good for Elisabeth and her new 'crew'. They were trapped in the brig aboard the Flying Dutchman, with no good news in sight.
Gwen sighed; her sister had been calling for 'Bootstrap Bill' for the last 5 minutes as various crewmembers moved about through the boat's prison.
"Give it up, Elisabeth," said Gwen, "If Bootstrap was here, he would've answered by now."
Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, the Swann sisters heard a voice from behind them, from within the cell.
"You know my name?" asked Bill, as he broke off from the wall behind him.
"Yes, we know you're son," replied Elisabeth, "Will Turner."
"And Benjamin Tennyson as well," said Gwendolyn, who was still upset at Ben's betrayal.
"He made it!" said Bill with glee in his voice, "Both of them did. And Will's sent you to tell me he's coming back for me!"
"Yes, Will is alive," informed Elisabeth, "And he wants to help you."
"Not sure I can say the same for Ben," added Gwendolyn, bitterness in her voice.
Bill calmed down and if he was 'drunk' with happiness before, he was sober with seriousness now.
"Ben did what he had to do," informed Bill, "I was the one who told him about both yours and his fathers being brothers. I can't say for sure, but Ben's reasons are his own as to why he did things the way he did. He was looking for freedom, and from what I saw of him last, he was free, from one prison into another: A prison known as Beckett's Navy. If he had his way, he'd be with Jack and Barbossa, heading to Shipwreck Cove. That's where the Pirate Lords are gathering. He and Will are probably at each other throats by now, I'd imagine.
"Besides, Will can't come. He won't come, because of you," finished Bill, pointing at Elisabeth.
"Me?"
"He spoke of you. You're Elisabeth," stated Bill.
"Yes, I'm Elisabeth," stated Elisabeth as if speaking to a stubborn child.
"He who slays Jones must take his place, as Captain, forever," said Bill, backing off from both of them, "He can't come. Tell him to leave me. I'm already apart of the ship, part of the crew."
He laid back into the wall, coral forming around him, connecting him to it.
"Bootstrap?" asked Elisabeth, wondering why he was telling her to tell Will to leave him to this horrid fate.
"You know my name?" Bill asked, as if the conversation just seconds ago didn't happen, "You know my name."
"Yes, I know your son," responded Elisabeth again.
"William!" guessed Bill again, "He's coming for me. Wait and see. Just wait and see."
Bill became quiet again and moved no more.
"Well, THAT was informative," said Gwen sarcastically.
"We learned one thing," informed Elisabeth, "Ben didn't betray us as we think he did."
"Then why'd he leave?"
"Like Bill said, 'he has his reasons'. That's good enough for me," said Elisabeth, glad that Ben was still someone she could call 'friend'.
(Time Change)
Not an hour later, Admiral James Norrington snuck down to the cell, after making sure that all the crewmen were elsewhere on the ship.
"Come with me," he urged of Elisabeth, Gwendolyn, and their crew. When no one moved, he urged again, with a hint of begging in his voice, "Quickly!"
Elisabeth looked to Gwen, who nodded shortly, yet slowly. Elisabeth turned to Dai Wan and nodded, signaling him to gather the crew.
"What are you doing?" asked/demanded Elisabeth quietly, so no one but Norrington heard.
"Choosing a side," stated Norrington quietly, so as to not alert the others.
Norrington led them to the stern of the ship, where there were cables that towed what was now Elisabeth's ship, as she was now Captain and Pirate Lord of Singapore. The crew was swift, yet silent to using the ropes to get to the boat.
"It's too late to earn our forgiveness," informed Elisabeth, as she and Gwendolyn stayed with Norrington a few moments longer.
"I had nothing to do with your father's death!" defended Norrington, "But that does not absolve me of my other sins."
"Don't be long, Elisabeth," said Gwendolyn, as she made her way after all of the crew had started on the ropes, "And James? Thanks for helping us."
"I wish I could do more," said a sad Norrington, before turning to Elisabeth, "Do not go to Shipwreck Cove! Beckett knows about the meeting."
"James, come with us," said Elisabeth, giving him one more chance to help them. At his look of bewilderment, she pressed, "Come with me."
"Who goes there!" said Bootstrap Bill from above, interrupting their conversation.
"Go," urged Norrington, before lying through his teeth, "I will follow."
"You're lying," said Elisabeth.
"Our destines have been entwined, Elisabeth," said James, "But never joined. You belong elsewhere."
James gave one final farewell kiss to Elisabeth, which Gwendolyn saw upon looking back to see what was taking her sister so long. Her eyes widened at Elisabeth returned the kiss for a moment, before breaking off.
Seconds later, Elisabeth and Gwen heard Bill rat them out.
"ALL HANDS!! PRISONER ESCAPE!!" shouted Bill, alerting the other crewman.
"BELAY THAT!" ordered back James.
"James!" shouted Elisabeth.
The next thing Gwen knew, a shot rung out and she fell into the ocean, the last few members of the crew and Elisabeth joining her.
Gwen swam over to Elisabeth and grabbed hold of her, and pulled her away from the Dutchman, away from James Norrington, a good man who sacrificed his life for the one he cared about most.
Gwen quickly swam back to the ship and in the delay that James was causing; Gwen ordered a change in course to Shipwreck Cove, using the cover of night to lose the Dutchman.
As they approached Shipwreck Cove, Ben was given an extra Pirate Gear to wear at the meeting. Upon entering, they quickly made their way to the meeting hall, where a baker's dozen of pirates were awaiting the remaining Pirate Lords to arrive. As the group began to settle down, Barbossa called the meeting to order.
"As he who issued Summons," said Barbossa, getting the attention of the others, "I convene this: the Fourth Brethren Court." He gave a signal to Ragetti, who had a bowl in his hands. As he moved about the other Pirate Lords, "To confirm your Lordship and right to be heard, present now, your pieces of eight, my fellow cap'ns."
"Those aren't pieces of eight," noted Pintel, "Those are pieces of junk."
"Aye," confirmed/informed Gibbs, "The original plan was to use nine pieces of eight, but when the First Court met, the Brethren were to a one skint broke."
"So change the name," argued Pintel.
"To what?" asked Gibbs skeptically, "To: 'Nine pieces if whatever we happened to have in our pockets at the time'? Oh yes, that sounds VERY piratey."
"I've seen the pieces," said Ben, "Beckett doesn't know what purpose they have though."
"Good," said Gibbs, "Glad to know you understand the meaning of 'mum', Ben."
"I learned from the best."
"Sparrow!" said the Spanish-accented Pirate Lord.
Jack moved his hand to his forehead, where his piece of eight was, before responding, "Might I point out, that we are still short one Pirate Lord, and I'm content as a cucumber to wait until Sao Fang joins us."
"Sao Fang is dead," said Elisabeth, who had arrived moments before.
"He fell to the Flying Dutchman," continued Gwen as Elisabeth moved to put her newly acquired sword into the globe where all the Pirate Lords' swords were.
"He made YOU Captain!?" said Jack, confused to say the least, "They're just giving the bloody title away now."
(AN2)
(AN3)
"Mind you, I earned mine," spoke Ben quietly to Gibbs, who nodded in understanding.
The Spanish Pirate Lord called her a devil in Spanish, not that anyone outside his own crew understood it.
(AN4)
"Listen to me!" urged Elisabeth, "Our location has been betrayed. Jones is under the command of Lord Beckett!"
"Who is this betrayer?" asked the African Pirate Lord.
"Not likely anyone among us!" spoke up Barbossa.
"What about Ben?" asked Gwen, glaring directly at Ben, who visibly flinched at her look.
"As I said," reiterated Barbossa, "'Not likely any one of us.'"
"Where's Will?" asked Elisabeth.
"Not among us," replied Jack vaguely.
"And it not matters how they've found us," said Barbossa, getting control back, "The question is: What will we do, now that they have?"
"We fight," demanded Elisabeth.
After a moment of silence at the absurdity of Elisabeth's demand, the entire room, save a few, laughed at her.
"Shipwreck Cove is a fortress," said the only other female Pirate Lord, a Japanese Woman, "There is no need to fight when they cannot get to us."
"There be a third course," said Barbossa, getting the group's attention once more, "In another age, at this very spot, the First Brethren Court captured the sea goddess and bound her in her bones." He got agreement from the floor before continuing. "That was a mistake." At their confused looks, he added, "Oh, we tamed the seas for ourselves, aye, But we opened the door the likes of Beckett, and his ilk. Better were the days when mastery of seas came not from bargains struck with eldritch creatures, but from the sweat of a man's brow and the strength of a man's back. You all know this to be true."
Agreement rang through the room.
"Gentlemen! Ladies," proposed Barbossa, giving respect to the female Pirate Lords and the dozen odd female Pirates present at the meeting, "We must free Calypso."
Seconds of silence passed before louder complaints rang about upon Barbossa.
"Shoot him!" shouted the Indian Pirate Lord.
"Cut out his tongue!" added the African Pirate Lord.
"Shoot him and cut out his tongue, then shoot his tongue," agreed Jack, before adding as an afterthought, "and trim that scraggly beard."
"Sao Fang would've agreed with Barbossa," urged Dai Wan, who had come to accept Elisabeth as his Captain, but respected Sao Fang far more.
"Aye," said Barbossa.
"Calypso was our enemy then, she'll be our enemy now," said the African Pirate Lord.
"And it's unlikely her mood's improved," agreed the French Pirate Lord.
"I would still agree with Sao Fang," said the Spanish Pirate Lord, "We release Calypso!"
"You threaten me," said the French Pirate Lord, getting into his face.
"I silence you!" countered the Spanish Pirate Lord.
At that precise moment, a brawl broke out among the pirates, those away from Elisabeth, Barbossa, and Jack.
"This is madness," said Elisabeth, getting worried.
"This is politics," replied Jack casually.
(AN5)
"Meanwhile our enemies are bearing down upon us," said Elisabeth.
"If they not be here already," said Barbossa.
(Time Change)
The 'political' conversation was continuing on some 10 minutes without signs of slowly down. Barbossa decided enough was enough and climbed up on the table. He pulled out his pistol and rang a warning shot, stopping the others as they turned towards their attention towards him once more.
"IT WAS THE FIRST COURT WHAT IMPRISONED CALYPSO! We should be the ones to set her free. And in her gratitude, she will see fit to grant us boons!"
"Whose boons? Your boons?" asked Jack, a plan forming in his head as he spoke, "Utterly deceptive twaddle-speak, says I."
"If you have a better alternative?" said Barbossa, giving him the floor, "Please, share."
"Cuttlefish, eh?" said Jack simply, before moving down one side of the table (AN6), "Let's us not dear friends, forget our friends, the cuttlefish. Flipping glorious little sausages. Pen them up together and they'll devour each other without a second thought. Human nature, isn't it? Or fish nature, rather. So, yes, we could hole up here, well-provisioned and well-armed, and half of us will be dead within the month. Which seems quite grim to me, any way you slice it.
"Or…" continued Jack, moving to the opposite side from Barbossa, "As my learned colleague suggests, we can release Calypso, and we can pray that she will be merciful. I rather doubt it. Can we, in fact, pretend that she is anything other than a woman scorned like which fury hell hath no? We cannot. Res ipsa loquitar, tabula in naufragio. We are left, with but one option. I agree with, and I cannot believe these words are coming out of me mouth: Captain Swann. We must fight."
"You're always run away from a fight," accused Barbossa.
"Have not."
"Have so."
"Have not."
"Have so."
"Have not!"
"Have so, and you know it!"
"Have not! Slander and calumny!" finalized Jack, "I have only ever embraced that oldest and noblest of Pirate Traditions. I submit that is what we do now: We must fight, to run away."
"AYE!" agreed Gibbs, knowing Jack was right, getting agreement from others as well.
"As per the code," said Barbossa, remembering the law of the Pirata Codex, "An act of war, and this be exactly that, can only be declared by the Pirate King."
"You made that up!" challenged Jack.
"Did I, now?" queried Barbossa, before calling out, "I call upon Captains Teague and Tennyson, keepers of the Code."
Gasps rang out at the mention of the Code Keepers. Jack visibly paled at the name 'Teague'.
The quiet Russian Pirate Lord nudged his speaker.
"Sri Sumbajee proclaims this all to be folly!" said his speaker, "Hang the code! Who cares…"
The rest of his sentence was cut short by his death, thanks to a bullet by Captain Teague Sparrow, father of Jack Sparrow.
(AN7)
"No one hangs the code," said Captain Max Tennyson, standing next to Teague.
"The Code is the law," stated Teague simply, putting fear into every other pirate there, including Jack, Elisabeth, Gwen, and Ben, but excluding Max.
The two keepers made their way down to the table.
"You're in my way, boy," said Teague to Jack, who moved humbly out of the way.
Max motioned for the book to come forward, as he stepped out of the way for it to be put onto the table.
"The code," said Pintel, in awe.
"As set for by Morgan and Bartholomew," finished Ragetti, in awe as well.
Teague whistled for the keys and a dog, one quite familiar to Jack, Elisabeth, Gwen, Will, Ben, Pintel, and Ragetti, came up and sat next to Teague. Max got the keys from the dog and unlocked the lock on the book. Max held one side as Teague held the other, while finding the page with the ruling Barbossa and Jack were challenging over. Scanning the page, Teague found the law.
"Ah, Barbossa is right," said Teague.
"Hang on a minute," said Jack, still not believing it. He read over the written law himself, eliminating any questions he had left over after his father found it, "Fancy that."
"There's not been a king since the First Court," said the French Pirate Lord, "And that's not likely to change."
"Not likely," said Teague, giving a knowing glance to Jack before finding his seat and playing his guitar.
"Why not?" asked Elisabeth.
"You see, the Pirate King is elected by popular vote," stated Gibbs.
"Like a democracy," guessed Ben.
"You could say that," said Barbossa, "But each Pirate only ever votes for hisself."
Ben, looking between Teague and Jack, figured out Jack's plan.
"I call for a vote," said Jack, his plan in motion.
'I see how the first King got elected now,' thought Ben, as the Pirate Lords gave their names in for the vote, including Barbossa and Elisabeth.
That is, until… "Elisabeth Swann," said Jack, with a devious smile.
"What?" said Elisabeth, looking bewildered. A look shared by many in the room.
"I know. Curious, isn't it?" replied Jack.
"Not when you know why," said Ben to Gibbs, who was looking at Elisabeth as if she'd been named Queen of England, which, in hindsight, isn't as great a title as Elisabeth's new one.
This caused yet another dissension in the group.
"Am I to understand that you lot will not be keeping to the code, then?" asked Jack, not only out of curiosity, but in mocking as well, though no one couldn't tell.
In the split second that Teague broke a guitar string, Max had two pistols out, aiming in two directions, ready to kill any naysayers. The men court sat down again, except for Barbossa and Jack who didn't have seats. Mistress Ching, the Japanese Pirate Lord spoke up.
"Very well. What say you, Captain Swann, King of the Brethren Court?"
Everyone waited with baited breath. Elisabeth took a moment to take a breath.
"Prepare every vessel that floats," said Elisabeth, in a finalizing tone, "At dawn, we're at war."
Sri Sumbajee stood up, and in his very own voice, one that he didn't want to speak with until now, said, "And so, we shall go to war."
The high-pitchedness of it caught Jack off guard, as he thought the Russian Pirate Lord was mute before that moment. He turned to talk with his father as the others left to get prepared.
Ben and Gwen, however, walked slowly up to Max, who looked at them before kneeling down and embracing both of them in a hug, causing both of them to freeze up at the contact.
"I haven't see you two since you were little," said Max, "I'm glad to see you've made it all these years on your own. I'm your grandpa by the way. Frank and Carl meant the world to me. I'm sad to see that they left you two so soon."
"We're glad to see you too, Grandpa," said Gwen, nervously yet respectfully as she didn't want him to know about the animosity that had arisen between her and Ben. Unfortunately though, Max already knew.
"Gwen, don't be so mad at Ben. He was only doing what he thought was right at the time, weren't you Ben?"
"I didn't want you to know, Gwen," said Ben, moving a few steps away from her, sadness in his tone, "But, there's a reason I have this mark. When I was young and in England with my mother, Cutler Beckett called me to his office one day. In exchange for letting me into the Navy, which had been my dream months beforehand, he asked me to bring Jack Sparrow's compass. Jack himself, having received his mark just hours before then and escaping afterwards, saw me that day and recognized me when he saw my mark again when I caught you aboard the Interceptor."
"Why didn't you say anything?" asked Gwen, a look of hurt forming in her face.
"The deal was, until I delivered the compass, I would be cursed to transform at night into a monster," informed Ben, his sadness turning slowly into self-hatred, "At first it happened once a month, but over the years it progressed to 2-3 times a week. I was transformed the night the Pearl attacked Port Royal, and again when we were on the island with Jack and Elisabeth. While in that form, I have insomnia, which causes major headaches the next day if it's not quiet out. When I joined Jack's crew, miraculously enough my curse receded back to once a month, under a new moon. That didn't last long though, because when I was aboard the Dutchman, Jones activated my curse at full duration. That meant that during anytime there was no sunlight for miles, I was in that form and couldn't turn back, no matter what I tried, and only when the sun was out was I human.
"I had no choice," finished Ben, "By betraying Jack would I finally be free of this curse. I'm sorry."
"But there's still one thing I don't understand," said Gwen, "Why not return after giving the compass? We would've forgiven you then."
"And leave everyone to be killed? I made sure that you guys survived every chance I got."
"I don't recall you saving us that day over two months ago!"
"Not from your point of view, no," countered Ben, finally turning back to Gwen, his eyes the same as they had been that day, "But I ensured that no cannon shot was above deck. That ensured everyone having enough time to get back to the ship."
"What's with that look, Ben?" said Gwen, slightly angry, yet slightly afraid at the same time, "Why are you staring at me with those cold eyes?"
"These are the eyes I give to my enemies, at least when I'm in the navy," said Ben, closing his eyes so as to not frighten Gwen anymore, "I had them that day so my fellow officers wouldn't get suspicious and eventually discover my secret. I never wanted to look at you like that, but I had no choice."
"You chose not to tell me," said Gwen, looking sad again, turning away from Ben.
Grandpa Max had, sometime during the middle of Ben's explanation, left to join Teague in getting ready for the battle to come. This left Ben and Gwen alone in try to reconcile and reconnect to each other as they did before Jack Sparrow ever came to Port Royal, before Ben had been promoted to Captain of the Royal Navy.
"I'm sorry about leaving you," said Ben after a moment finally, "I'm sorry for not telling you about my curse before now. But I am NOT sorry about kissing you."
Gwen's eyes widened at the 'not' apology. Ben wasn't sorry, should she be? She enjoyed it, though it was her first, so she couldn't really judge. She thought back to the times when Ben spent time with her, when he was off duty, and the good times they'd shared. Back then, before realizing they were related, she realized she HAD fallen for him. She liked him even before their life turned crazy. Yet, she'd felt so heartbroken over Ben's departure for the second time, that she'd tried convincing herself that Ben didn't love her. But Ben DID love her, and she loved him. She finally turned back to him, tears in her eyes.
"I love you, Ben," said Gwen, her tears falling as she hugged him, her arms around his neck.
"I love you too, Gwen," said Ben, hugging her back "I'd never lie about that. I'm not leaving you again. Not after this. Beckett will have to kill me to separate us."
"Like I'd ever let that happen," replied Gwen, pulling back from the hug enough to kiss Ben on the lips.
Ben returned it with vigor. What seems like an eternity later, but was only a few minutes, Elisabeth walked in, wondering where they had gotten. She smirked upon seeing the sight of Ben and Gwen, ready to explore full teasing rights.
"And here I thought you were mad at Ben," teased Elisabeth, her smirk never diminishing as she walked up to them.
Ben and Gwen broke apart blushing, Gwen more than Ben, but Ben was sporting a good blush of his own.
"I got over it," replied Gwen, before retorting "What about you? Last I checked: you were kissing James Norrington."
"You kissed James!?" said Ben, bewilderment on his face, "Ugh, and I thought me liking my cousin would be bad. Shame on you."
"Would it help to tell you that he died saving us?" tried Elisabeth, a tear falling from her eye in remembrance.
"I knew it would happen. Not many who board the Dutchman alive, leave the Dutchman alive.
After sharing a moment of silence for one of their few final friends from Port Royal, the three went to get ready for the battle to come.
The next morning, over a hundred Pirate Ships were waiting for the enemy. Marty was the first to notice the Endeavor coming out of the morning fog.
"The Enemy is here! Let's take them!" shouted Marty, getting shouts from the other crewmen in the boat.
Barbossa merely rolled his eyes at the naiveté of the crew aboard the Black Pearl. He knew better than to think Beckett would come alone.
However, not even Barbossa was prepared, as more and more ships, with no known end to them, appeared, all ready to obliterate the Pirate populace. Cotton's parrot was the first to make a move, shouting 'abandon ship' as he flew away.
"Did I forget to mention that the English Navy Armada has over a thousand ships in production?" asked Ben nervously chuckling.
"You could've mentioned something," replied Gwen, his cousin and girlfriend.
Everyone turned to Jack, considering it was him who allowed this happen. He uttered 'Parley' in defense.
As Jack, Barbossa, and Elisabeth headed to a small island where Will, Beckett, and Davy Jones were waiting, Gwen turned to Ben.
"You think we have a chance?" asked Gwen.
"I see only one, but its a fool's chance," replied Ben, looking to where Jack was taken aboard the Dutchman while Will returned with Elisabeth and Barbossa.
Upon boarding the ship again, Barbossa called for Calypso to be brought up topside. Upon being confronted about this by Elisabeth and a newly returned Will, Barbossa had them placed at gunpoint.
"Apologies, your Majesty," said Barbossa, with little guilt in his voice, "Too long fate has not been in me own hands. No longer."
He pulled off the necklace around Elisabeth, the piece of eight that was given to her by Sao Fang. He put the necklace, as well as Jack's piece of eight, into the bowl with the others that had been gathered.
"Be there some manner of rite, or incantation?" asked Gibbs.
"Aye," confirmed Barbossa, "The items gathered: done. Items to be burned, and someone has to say 'Calypso, I release you from your human bonds'."
"Is that it?" asked Pintel skeptically.
"It must be said as if to a lover," smirked Barbossa, before reciting 'Calypso I release you from your human bonds.' He placed the lit fuse on a stick (AN8) into the bowl.
Nothing happened, not even a burning sensation of the items burning up.
"Is that it?" asked Pintel again.
"No," denied Ragetti, getting everyone's attention, "He didn't say it right." He looked between Calypso and Barbossa. "You have to say it right."
He got up right next to Calypso's ear, and said in a more pleasing tone, "Calypso… I release you from your human bonds."
The effect was almost instant, the pieces of eight instantly caught fire and started floating the moment Pintel let go of it. After the items were thoroughly burned, a mystical mist rose from it, Calypso breathing it in through her nose.
"Tia Dalma," said Will, struggling against his captors. Upon receiving no answer, he tried again, "Calypso!"
Calypso looked at him.
"When the First Brethren Court imprisoned you, who was that told them how?" asked Will, getting a look of anger out of her, "Who was it that betrayed you?"
"Name him," demanded Calypso softly.
"Davy Jones," said Will shortly.
Calypso felt her heart break at such news, she grew to enormous size, Pintel shouting 'This is it!' a few times. Upon reaching full height, Barbossa stepped forward.
"Calypso," said Barbossa kneeling, the others following his lead, "I come before you as but a servant, humble and contrite. I have fulfilled me vow and now ask your favor. Spare meself, me ship, me crew, but unleash your fury upon those who dare pretend themselves your masters, or mine."
Calypso looked at them smugly, happy to have her powers back. She did nothing but curse at them in her own language.
To Ben, however, the voice became muffled and sounded far away as another voice spoke. This time it came from inside his head.
'Benjamin Tennyson,' came the voice of Tia Dalma, Calypso, 'The form that had been a curse upon you before I now give to you as a gift, for remaining true to your loved one. As with the full power of the curse, you can transform willingly whenever a storm is overhead, or it is after sundown and before sunup. Use this wisely as not many have been blessed by a goddess.'
(AN9)
Calypso, in her cursing, dissolved herself into millions of crabs, all of which headed straight for the water.
"Is that it?" asked Will.
"Why, she's no help at all," complained Pintel, turning to Barbossa, "What now?"
"Nothing. Our last hope has failed us," said a despairing Barbossa.
After minutes of silence, Elisabeth spoke up.
"It's not over."
"There's still a fight to be had," added Will.
"This one won't be easy, though" followed Ben.
"We've an armada against us, and with the Dutchman, there's no chance," pointed out Gibbs.
"When has that stopped us before?" asked Gwen, "We've faced undead pirates and a Kraken and lived. We still have a chance at surviving."
"That chance being a fool's chance," said Elisabeth.
"Revenge won't bring back your father, Miss Swann," said Barbossa, walking up, "And it's no something I'd be willing to die for."
"Then what shall we die for," wondered Elisabeth, before Barbossa's words from earlier entered her mind again. Along with the determination Elisabeth's seen in Jack since meeting him, she knew what to say. She climbed up on the side of the Pearl.
"You will listen to me. LISTEN! The Brethren Court will still be looking to us, to the Black Pearl, for leadership. What will they see? Frightened bilge rats aboard a derelict ship? No! They will see Free Men, and FREEDOM! AND WHAT THE ENEMY WILL SEE IS THE FLASH OF OUR CANNONS, AND THE RING OF OUR SWORDS, AND THEY WILL KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO!! By the sweat of our brows, and the strength of our backs, and the courage of our hearts: Gentlemen, hoist the colors."
Soon the wind picked up, bringing a great storm with it. However, this wind was a favorable one, giving a boost of spirits to the crew through Gibbs.
"HOIST THE COLORS!!" shouted Elisabeth, to Dai Wan on the nearest ship, which started a domino effect of responses as one by one, each of the Pirate Ships raised their flags and prepared for battle.
Soon, the Black Pearl and the Dutchman sailed toward each other, between them a whirlpool had formed, the site of their battle.
"Captain Barbossa," shouted Elisabeth, getting his attention, "We need you at the helm!"
Barbossa's mind was elsewhere, but was able to get the message, "Aye, that be true!"
Barbossa took the helm from Cotton, and sailed them directly into the maelstrom, as Gibbs had put it. Soon, cannon shots flew through the air, narrowly missing a few crewmen. Will told Barbossa to escape, but the experienced Pirate Lord had better ideas, like heading further in to match them on broadside.
Soon, amidst the chaos that was cannon fire, Ben noticed Jack on one of the masts on the Dutchman. He turned to Will.
"I dare say Jack is either fearless, or smartless," teased Ben.
"Yet, it hasn't been proven which is more likely," replied Will in the same tone, before both of them noticing Navy officials and Dutchman sea crewmen getting ropes ready to board the Pearl. About a dozen made it, giving the swordsmen of the crew some action finally. Will managed to find Elisabeth in all the chaos.
"Elisabeth," said Will, bringing her close to him, "Will you marry me?"
A fish man ran over to them, them dodging the swing and pining its blade to the mast it connected to.
"I don't think now is the best time," doubted Elisabeth, as their double team quickly took care of the intruder.
"Now maybe the only time," said Will, deflecting a Navy sword. Getting close to her, he said, "I love you."
Soon, more officers and fish men distracted them for a few more seconds, before joining back together.
"I've made my choice, what's yours?" asked Will.
Elisabeth took a moment to decide, remembering what Jack said about a Pirate Captain being able to perform a wedding ceremony anywhere, even on a ship. She then decided, "Barbossa!
"Marry us!" she shouted to him, who was defending himself against three enemies at once.
"I'm a little busy at the moment!" replied Barbossa, killing one of them.
"Barbossa, NOW!" demanded Will, knocking away another two enemies.
"Fine then," said Barbossa, killing two enemies at once, before getting on top of a platform, "Dearly beloved, we be gathered here today," he noticed a fish man trying to stab at his leg, "To nail your gizzards to the mast, you poxy cur!"
Will and Elisabeth met on the other side of the mast, Will starting:
"Elisabeth, do you take me to be your husband?"
"I do," said an ecstatic Elisabeth.
"Great," said Will, relieved.
Meanwhile, Ben and Gwen were double-teaming against 3 fish men themselves.
"I think we best help them out," said Ben, "Don't you, love?"
"I knew I wasn't going to miss her wedding," smiled Gwen, before both of them moved towards the stern of the ship, to where Elisabeth and Will were fighting and getting through the ceremony at the same time.
"Will Turner," recited Elisabeth, "Do you take me… to be your wife… in sickness and in health… with health being the less likely?"
"I do," replied Will, happier than he's ever been in his life.
"As Captain, I now pronounce you…" said Barbossa, defending against an officer and a fish man simultaneously. After knocking down the officer, he said, "You may kiss."
Just as Will and Elisabeth closed in, yet another officer tried to come between them, literally, before being taken care of easily.
"You may kiss," tried Barbossa again, still fighting.
At the same time, Elisabeth and Will turned around and crossed swords.
"Just kiss," resigned an impatient Barbossa.
"We got you covered," said Gwen, she and Ben set about protecting them from anyone ELSE trying to ruin their wedding.
One fish man got close before a hand grabbed his shoulder, he turned to see Ben with hardened eyes, not unlike the ones he developed while working as a Navy Officer, "I believe their trying to have a moment. Let's give it to them, shall we?"
Ben immediately gutted said fish man and tossed him away from Will and Elisabeth.
(AN10)
Soon, Will headed over to the flying Dutchman, intent on seeing Jones killed. After getting the chest, he set about to find the key, when an old friend found him. What 'old friend' meant was a hammerhead shark that had beef with Will. Jack the Monkey came flying in, grabbing onto the face of the hammerhead fish man.
"Thank you Jack," said Will, before continuing his search.
Ben looked over and saw that Will was having some trouble with his father. He grabbed a rope, and with a kiss to Gwen, he flew over.
"I need to help Will real quick!" he shouted upon leaving.
This left the Swann sisters to use their OWN double-team against the fish and the navy men.
Upon arriving at the Dutchman, Ben tackled Bill off of Will.
"Ben!"
"Get the key! I'll hold him off!" replied Ben, wrestling against his father's best friend.
Meanwhile, Jack was doing his best to hold off Jones, but was eventually knocked back. Thankfully, seconds later, the newly married Elisabeth Swann-Turner arrived to face against Davy Jones.
"Harridan! You'll see no mercy from me!" promised Jones.
"That's why I've brought this!" shouted Elisabeth, taking out her sword to do battle with Davy Jones.
Upon seeing Elisabeth having trouble, Will rushed over to help her, stabbing Jones in the back, where the heart should be.
"Ha! Missed!" boasted Jones, "Did you forget boy? I'm a heartless WRENCH!!"
He took his claw of a left hand and bent Will's sword. Fortunately, though Will was knocked down as well, the distraction gave Jack enough time to grab the key, open the chest, and retrieve the heart, holding it in his left hand with his broken blade in his right.
"Tell me, William Turner," recited Jones for the umpteenth time, "Do you fear death?"
"DO YOU?" countered Jack, revealing himself to Jones.
"Heady tonic, holding life and death in the palm of one's hands," continued Jack, knowing he had won. He was going to be immortal, finally.
"You're a cruel man, Jack Sparrow!" accused Davy Jones, never feeling so close to death.
"Cruel is a matter of perspective," replied Jack.
"Is it?" asked Jones, all the while thinking 'Too slow, Jack Sparrow'.
Jones turned around, and before anyone could make a move, Davy Jones pierced Will with his own forged blade from months past.
Ben and Bill were wrestling until Bill found a point to which his blade pierced through his son's friend. Ben just smiled, turning invisible for a few moments, before returning in his transformed state.
"Sorry, Bootstrap," said Ben, "Looks like I'm 'Ghostfreak'-ing out. Sorry to disappoint."
Ben knocked the blade away with his claws and tackled him into the side of the ship. They both froze when they heard Will cry out, his own crafted blade piercing his lung.
"My son!" said Bill, remembering everything, "That's my son!!"
Ben let go of Bill just in time, as he gave a yell and tackled down his own Captain, wanting to make him pay for what he's done. This gave time for Ben to join Jack and Gwen next to Will. Jack placing the heart on the ground and the blade in Will's hand. Together, with Ben and Elisabeth, they forced the blade to pierce the heart, through Will's hand of course. This stopped Davy Jones short of killing Bill Turner. With the last of his breath, he gave one last, lovingly word: 'Calypso' before falling into the abyss, this time being one way.
As Elisabeth desperately tried to keep Will awake, Ben turned to Jack.
"I'm glad you gave this up," said Ben.
"Ferrying souls wouldn't work out for me," replied Jack.
"Take Elisabeth and get out of here," ordered Ben.
"What about you?" asked Jack.
"Will's my best friend. I'm seeing him to the other side. Besides, we'll be back with Dutchman, so keep pace with the Pearl heading for the Endeavor, got it?"
"Got it," replied Jack, forcing Elisabeth off Will and taking her off the Flying Dutchman via parachute and updrafts, with Jack the Monkey holding on for the ride. They were picked up by the Black Pearl moments later.
Back on the sinking Dutchman, crewman were gathering around Bill and Ben, as Bill took out Will's heart, saving his life, and placing it in the chest, locking it moments before the water crashed above them.
Ben, upon looking at Will's form, floated back a few feet. He smiled as he felt the waves crash through his ghostly body, this form as immortal as Will's now. The ship broke the surface on the ocean that led to the Locker. It was night here, as it mirrors the real world time from where the Dutchman moves between worlds.
Ben pulled the blade from Will's lung, him gasping for breath as it was pulled out, and turned to see his best friend and father looking down on him, mixed emotions in their expressions.
"Worry about this later," ordered Will, getting up, placing his crafted sword into its sheath, "We need to get back there now!"
The Dutchman soon made its way back through the ocean, popping back up on the other side, facing the Pearl, and ready to sink the Endeavor.
As Jack was trying to get Pearl battle-ready once more, Gwen brought Elisabeth into a hug upon her return.
"What happened?" asked Gwen.
"He's gone," said Elisabeth.
"Who?"
"Will," said Elisabeth, "He stabbed Jones's heart. I couldn't save him."
"You'll see him again," said Gwen.
"I know," said Elisabeth, "That's what worries me. I'll only be able to see him one day every ten years now."
"Where's Ben?" asked Gwen, noticing Ben hadn't returned.
"He's with Will," said Elisabeth.
"He's…" started Gwen, but remained quiet as to not voice her fears.
"He's alive, just not quite the same," responded Elisabeth, with a small devious smile.
This was soon proven when the Flying Dutchman, under new command of William Turner Jr., rose up out of the sea, looking a bit worn but still battle-ready, and her crew returned to human form. Looking towards the stern of the ship, they saw her Captain, Will Turner, as well as Ben, shifting back to his human form.
"READY ON THE GUNS!" ordered Will, his crew moving fast to get the guns ready.
"Guns ready!" replied one of the crewmen.
"Let's do this," said Ben, ready to see Beckett pay.
"Full canvas," ordered Jack with a knowing smirk.
"AYE! FULL CANVAS!!" shouted Barbossa, a smirk growing on his face.
"Hard to port!" shouted Ben.
"Hard to Starboard!" followed Gwen.
The Pearl and the Dutchman made a 90 degrees turn, right towards the Endeavor.
When they were board and board, Gibbs turned to Jack, "Cap'n?"
"Fire," was the request.
"FIRE!" shouted Gibbs.
"FIRE!" shouted Will.
"FIRE!!" shouted Barbossa.
"FIRE ALL!!" shouted Elisabeth.
(AN11)
In a less than two relatively short minutes, the Endeavor was sunk, her armada abandoning her, and her lord, dead, as it should be. They started their return to their fellow Pirate Lords, ready to celebrate a glorious victory, with a few stowaways who realized good business when they say it.
(AN12)
After things had settled down, Bill Turner and Ben Tennyson walked up next to Will Turner, Ben leaning against on of the posts sticking up.
"So, destiny, huh?" asked Ben, "Tia Dalma has quite an eye for job fulfillment, eh?"
"I guess you could say that," chuckled Will.
"Orders, sir?" asked Bill Turner.
"You're free. You no long have any need to stay bound to the Dutchman," said Will, wanting peace for his father.
"Aye, that's a mighty fine thing and all," replied Bill, still wanting to make amends, "But by my reckoning, I still have a debt that has to be paid. If you'll have me?"
"A father's debt to his son," smiled Ben, looking over at Gwen and Elisabeth on the Pearl, "Ain't nothing like that to keep the family together."
"On the wheel, then, Mr. Turner," said William Turner Jr., smiling at his father, hoping to reconnect with him after so many years apart. He then looked to the other most important person in his life, Elisabeth Swann-Turner.
"Aye, aye, Captain Turner," replied William Turner Sr., smiling at his son, moving to the wheel, he turned back, "This ship has a purpose again, and where we are bound, she cannot come. One day ashore, ten years at sea: That's a steep price for what's been done."
"Depends on the one day," smirked Will knowingly to his father and best friend.
"I think it's high time we returned to our loved ones, Will."
"Oh, Ben," said Will, bringing out a small pouch, and handing it to Ben, "The items you requested?"
"Thanks Will," said Ben, taking the pouch and slipped it in to an inside pocket, "Shall we?"
"Let's go," said Will, before disappearing to a nearby Island to meet Elisabeth, for a good day spent alone.
Ben, after giving a short salute to Bill, who returned it, jumped off the ship and swam over to the Pearl.
When Ben climbed up the ladder, he was almost knocked back into the ocean by Gwen's hug. (AN13) He held onto her as they moved away from the edge.
"Never do that again!" said Gwen, not wanting to let go of her cousin.
"I can't make promises I know I might not be able to keep," replied Ben, not letting go of Gwen.
"I hate to interrupt," said Barbossa, "But with Captain Swann now being the Pirate Lord of Singapore, I'm afraid you two and her will have to wait for Dai Wan's ship to return to Singapore."
"Alright," said Ben, letting go of Gwen temporarily, shaking Barbossa's hand, "It was an honor to fight beside you, Captain Barbossa."
"Same here, Captain Tennyson," replied Barbossa, shaking his hand with a grip of respect.
Ben gave a handshake to Gibbs as well, before turning to Jack.
"You think you guys can keep track of these," said Ben, giving a coin to Jack, and another to Barbossa, "Hopefully, these pieces of eight can keep for longer than the others."
Barbossa and Jack chuckled at the joke.
"Let's get back to Shipwreck Cove before heading on with our lives," suggested Barbossa, returned the Pearl to Shipwreck Cove, the others following them.
Ben handed out each piece of eight to the remaining six Pirate Lords, telling them to hold onto them. He had one left, for Elisabeth, and head to Dai Wan's ship.
"I think it's time we gathered our Captain and headed home," said Ben, seeing sunset approach.
"Yes sir," replied Dai Wan with enthusiasm about returning home, before making orders to get the ship ready to sail.
"Ben," said Gwen, who had been waiting on the ship for Ben's return, "Do you think we could get married like that?"
"What, in the middle of a battle? I highly doubt that," stated Ben, before turning to her, "But I think I can swing Elisabeth into giving us one in a few months in Singapore. What do you say?"
"I do," replied Gwen, capturing Ben's lips in a kiss.
A few months later, in Singapore, Ben and Gwen had their wedding. It was a subdued affair, similar but different to Will and Elisabeth's. In the months following, Elisabeth had a son about 9 months after they last saw Will Turner, and Gwendolyn also had a son, less than a year later. Other than the occasion run in with Navy personnel and other pirates (AN14), Ben, Gwen, and Elisabeth led relatively peaceful lives. Peaceful as it could be considering who their kids are. One day, at sea, a crewmember from the Flying Dutchman came aboard with a message for Elisabeth. Will's message gave the day and location to see him, the place where he would spend his day ashore. So, they made way to the location and the five of them walked together as a family.
While William III and Kenneth Tennyson (AN15) were singing the Pirating Song, excited to meet Will Turner, their Father and Uncle respectively. Soon sundown approached and they all saw the flash of green seconds before seeing the Flying Dutchman on the horizon. They went down to the beach to see William Turner Jr. as well as William Turner Sr. walking up the beach. Elisabeth ran to Will and gave him a hug and kiss that made up for ten years they'd missed each other.
"Well, I see you keep to your schedule," teased Ben, smirking at his long-time friend.
"Be nice," reprimanded Gwen, playfully smacking Ben on the shoulder.
"That was nice," countered Ben.
William Jr. just chuckled and walked over to give his other two best friends a hug. He then turned to the kids, who looked no older than nine years of age, his own son actually being nine by now with Kenny well on the way.
"I believe introductions are in order," suggested Bill, walking up and greeted Ben with a firm handshake.
"Will, Bill," said Elisabeth, "This is William Benjamin Turner III, or Willy for short."
"And this is Kenneth Maxwell Tennyson, Kenny for short," followed Gwendolyn.
"Willy, Kenny, this is William 'Bootstrap Bill' Turner, your grandfather and great uncle respectively," continued Ben, squatting down to the kids level, "And William Turner Jr., Captain of the Flying Dutchman, as well as your father and Uncle respectively."
"DAD!" shouted Willy, running to his father's arms. William hugged his son, happy that he got to see him now and not later, but was also sad that he could only see him on land one day every ten years.
"Guess what?" said Kenny to Bill and Will.
"What?" replied the two.
Kenny turned into a mini version of Ben's Ghostfreak form before turning back, "I'm a chip off the old block, eh?"
"I can see that," chuckled Will, looking at Ben with a smirk.
"Well, someone has to keep them in check," replied Gwen, laughing as well.
All was good for the family that had little-to-no contact with two of their members over the past ten years. Things were peaceful once more.
"You're forgetting one thing…" said Jack, as he fast-talked his way out of being killed by South American Pirates, "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow."
(Story End)
Whoops, guess not.
Ben: Not bad though. Did you HAVE to bring back Ghostfreak?
RDF1: YYYEEESSS!! It only makes sense. Besides, I had you in control this time.
Gwen: Well, I for one am glad that you settled things finally.
Elisabeth: Yep, I'm finally married to the one that I love.
Will: I have one question.
RDF1: What is that?
Will: Where's Max? I'd thought he'd like to keep in touch with his grandchildren after meeting them again in Shipwreck Cove?
Dx: Who's to say he didn't?
RDF1: That's right. Just because I didn't write it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. About ninety percent of everything that DOES happen, isn't written to happen, even in a book or movie, or even fanfiction.
Jack: I guess that's what Author Notes are for?
RDF1: Not exactly, Author Notes are used to reduce the amount of questions from readers when they first read through it. Speaking of which…
AN1: I know this usually comes after the scene with Elisabeth and Bootstrap (and Gwendolyn), but I thought it would be better to change it around, because since this happens about the same time, it doesn't really matter which goes first, right?
AN2: Jack is referring to the fact that Sao Fang declared Will 'Captain'.
AN3: As for the other Pirate Lords, I'm going with my best guess on accent-wise. You hear their names when they vote, so I didn't feel the need to put them in here.
AN4: This is my best guess, as the closest translation was: to bring forth the devil. Or, something like that, I'm not good at remembering translations like that, especially since I haven't seen it in three days.
AN5: THIS IS SPARTA!!! (Record scratches) Wait, wrong place. Besides, I'd hate to think if this was Politics in OUR government, and I'm American.
AN6: You know as well as I do how Jack moves down the table, so if I got it wrong, BIG DEAL!! It's not like anyone's gonna care in the long run. Also, loved the blooper reel on this.
AN7: I had quite the difficult time balancing in Maxwell Tennyson in this, not to mention this is something I've wanted Teague Sparrow to say before his first line in the movie.
AN8: I have no idea what this is called, so if anyone can tell me, thanks.
AN9: This is something that came to me while thinking on how to bring Ben's transformation back.
AN10: That's what I shout whenever I see this scene.
AN11: "JUST BLAST THEM, DANG IT!!" is what I'm shouting after hearing all this. Geez, it's like we have 5 captains aboard these two ships. (Thinks about it) Wait, we DO, don't we? Barbossa, Jack, Elisabeth, Will, and Ben. No wonder everyone's saying 'fire.'
(LOL)
AN12: And by good business, I mean what Sao Fang was talking about before on the Black Pearl: Leaving it for the winning side, that's just good business.
AN13: Well, considering how close they were to the edge, one wouldn't be surprised if they DID fall back into the ocean.
AN14: By other pirates, I mean Barbossa and his crew, and Jack Sparrow a time or two. Not to mention Max Tennyson from time to time. Ben and Gwen have to keep in touch with their Grandpa, don't they?
AN15: William III is a guess at the name Elisabeth gave him. Kenneth Tennyson is THE Kenny Tennyson from 'Ken 10', for those who would like reference.
Hopefully that will keep the questions down. Anyways, I hope I can actually get some reviews. I know darthdragon is faithful in reviewing, but I need more than that. (No offense, darthdragon.)
Please review?
Ben/Gwen: Review for us, Bwenidite fans!
(Random gwevin fan: YOU'RE COUSINS, YOU DON'T BELONG TOGETHER!)
Ben takes out pistol and shoots random gwevin fan in the temple.
Ben: That's what you get for talking smack about our love!
RDF1: You show 'em, Ben. So, until next time.
Later,
RDF1
Drink up me hearties! YO!! HO!!!!
