Chapter 8

Things Change

I knew where we were the second se stepped onto that ocean dock. I was back in Port Royal, I wonder how Will and Elizabeth are doing?

"What is this place?" Kairi asked

"This is Port Royal, we visited this world a couple of times while we were looking for you and Riku." The mental image of Riku coming to help me flashed in my head.

"Did anything interesting happen while you were here?" Kairi asked looking around,

"Kinda," I said as I hear a large amount of footsteps from behind me. "I think it's ongoing." I said as we both turn around to see a massive group of soldiers wearing red coats as they point their guns at us.

"Put your hands up!" one of them said, Kairi instantly puts her hands up and I just stand there.

"What for?" I asked,

"We have orders to arrest you." he said

"Sara, what did you do?" Kairi asked

"I ... don't know, what did I do?" I asked looking at them as they all look at each other confused.

"C... Conspiring with the notorious pirate Captain Jack Sparrow."

"Pirate?" Kairi said

"Yeah... I was going to mention that." I said

"You are to be detained until Jack Sparrow is found."

"What?" I yelled, "I don't have time for this!" I summoned my Keyblade

"Sara, No!" Kairi grabbed my arm, "Violence isn't the answer." she said

"But Sora and Riku need to know what's going on!" I said

"Yes, but it looks like first you're needed here." Kairi said as I remember that Will and Elizabeth are probably in trouble as well. I release my Keyblade and raise my hands.

"I'm coming with." Kairi said as they cuff us and lead us to the prison. a guard removes our cuffs and throws us into one of the cells.

"Sara?" I hear as I look up to see Elizabeth sitting in a corner.

"Elizabeth?" I asked as she stood up and runs over and hugs me, it looks like she was wearing a wedding dress, "What happened?" I asked,

"Will and I were arrested on our wedding day." she said looking at Kairi.

"Oh, this is my friend Kairi,"

"Hi," Kairi said

"I'm so sorry that you both got dragged into this." Elizabeth said as we all sit down to continue talking.

"It's not your fault... It's Jacks." I said,

"Who's Jack?" Kairi asked,

"A pirate who helped us save Elizabeth on our first adventure." I said,

"And, helped save this town." Elizabeth said

"Ok, so why were we arrested?" Kairi asked,

"Because Piracy is a crime." Elizabeth said,

"I didn't know being a pirate was a bad thing." I frowned as Kairi pats my shoulder.

"I can't believe this had to happen on my wedding day..." Elizabeth said

"Speaking of witch, where's Will?" I asked,

"They took him away, then he came back saying he needed to find Jack and get his compass." Elizabeth said,

"What for?" Kairi asked,

"To have our charges dropped." Elizabeth said, "I wanted to help but I'm meant to be here as incentive."

"Well that's stupid." I said

"It could take days for us to get out of here." Kairi said with a sigh, I grin at her, "What?" she asked,

"I got an idea." I said,

We wait till nightfall when the guard leaves and I unlock the door with my Keyblade and we all sneak out,

"You scare me some times, Sara." Kairi said

"Sorry, I can't good all the time." I said. Besides, it was Amara's Idea but I wasn't about to tell her that.

"I need to grab something you two find some clothes to change into." Elizabeth said, "Then meet me at the docks."

"Why?" Kairi asked

"Because, you two stick out like soar thumbs." she said running off. Kairi and I look at one another's outfits.

"Yeah, we should change." I said as we walk into a nearby store. I grab a light beige ripped sleeve shirt and dark grey pants. I pulled on some brown knee high boots and a matching undercuts corset. I placed on some leather cuffs and my item pouch. I place my clothes in my item pouch as Kairi walks out wearing a white blouse and a light brown under bust corset, a pink short side angled shirt with grey boots and matching pink ribbons crisscrossing on top. she kept on her black leather pouch with matching fingerless gloves.

"Nice." I said as she hands me her clothes and I also placed them in my pouch. Dad made my pouch using technology from his world and created a pouch that can hold an infinite amount of items.

"Same," She said as we leave the clothes shop. We walk over to the dock to see that Elizabeth also changed, wearing similar clothes to men's clothing with her hair braided.

"You two look nice." She said,

"So do you." Kairi said as I see Elizabeth was holding some documents.

"What is that?" I asked pointing to the documents.

"This is our freedom." she said,

"We're all good?" Kairi asked,

"After we give Lord Becket Jacks compass." Elizabeth said.

"Who's Lord Becket?" I asked,

"And what compass?" Kairi added,

"I'll explain on the way, we need to go now." she said,

"Wait," I said as I pull a pirate hat with a gold trim and black lace at the top on my head and smile. "Now I'm ready." I said as both Kairi and Elizabeth look at me like I was crazy.

"You can't wear that." Elizabeth said,

"Why not?" I asked,

"Because you're not actually a pirate." Kairi said as I frown and lower my head.

"Fine..." I said removing the hat, "But I'm keeping the hat." I said as we all board the ship.

The ship sets sail as we all blend in with the crew and we manage to pass by as traveling writers. It was easy to persuade the men of this ship to help us out.

"So where should we head to first." I asked dropping a bucket and mop on the floor.

"Tortuga." Elizabeth said, "That'll be the first place Will would look for Jack." she said.

"And if we find jack we find Will." Kairi said

"Exactly." She said,

"How long will it take to get to Tortuga?" I asked

"Two days at most." She said

"This is taking too long." I said with a sigh,

"Keep calm, we'll find them." Kairi said

"I've been meaning to ask Sara, where's Sora?" Elizabeth asked.

"Sora and our fiend Riku left to take a test, a friend found us warning that they might be in danger, that's why we're here." I explained,

"Well I hope you find them soon." Elizabeth said as we get back to work. it took a day and a half to get to Tortuga.

we left the ship and there were drunks everywhere. Pirates hitting on lady's, randomly shooting their guns or fighting. It smelt of beer and body odor, the whole place was disgusting.

"Ok, I don't like this place." Kairi said hiding behind me.

"Let's just find Jack as fast as possible." I said

"Did you hear? Jack Sparrow is looking for crewmen for the Black Pearl." We overhear a man say.

"Well, at least we know he's here." Elizabeth said as a drunken man begins walking up to Kairi. I summon my Keyblade and point it at him.

"Don't even think about it." I said as the guy back away slowly.

"Now, there's a blade I have not seen in a long while." I hear a familiar voice as we turn around to see Jack walking up with one of his crewmen, Gibbs.

"If it isn't my least favorite Pirate." I joked as gave an insulted look.

"Least favorite?" he said

"Is this him?" Kairi asked,

"And who might this lovely lady be?" Jack said,

"Taken." I said as he backs away slowly,

"hello Jack." Elizabeth said,

"Elizabeth?" Jack did not recognize her at first, "ah, so you've finally come up on my offer to join my crew." he said with a smile.

"I'm here to find the man I love." she said as his smile turns into a frown.

"What did you do?" I said

"I didn't do anything... poor Will, has been press ganged into Davy Jones' crew..." he said with fearful eyes.

"Davy Jones?" Elizabeth said looking confused.

"Who's that?" I asked

"A captain of the sea." he said

"Jack, all I want is to find Will." Elizabeth said,

"is that really what you want?" More than anything?" Jack asked,

"Of course," Elizabeth said confused,

"Because, I think, you'd want to save Will most." Jack said,

"and you'd have a way of doing that?" Kairi asked,

"There's a chest, of unknown size and origin. And whoever holds that chest commands Jones and his crew, including saving Will." Jack said.

"You don't actually believe this do you?" I asked,

"How do we find it?" Elizabeth asked, Jack pulls something out of his pocket.

"with this, my compass is unique, this compass does not point north. It points to the thing you want most in this world." Jack explained.

"Wait, could that compass point me towards Sora?" I asked,

"Where is your spiky haired counterpart?" Jack asked

"That's what we're trying to find out." Kairi said.

"Tell you what, you help me find the chest than the compass is all yours." Jack said,

"Deal!" I said,

"What about Will?" Elizabeth said,

"You'll save him by finding the chest of Davy Jones." Jack said handing Elizabeth the compass, the arrow points in one direction.

"Mr. Gibbs! We have our heading!" Jack said as he waves over to the ship. "After you, ladies." Jack said as we climb on the ship, "I assume you wouldn't mind your old post would you?" he asked me.

"And miss a chance to boss pirates around?" I asked with a smile. "not a chance." I said as Elizabeth and Kairi head below deck to get some rest and we set sail.
