Previously:

"Jack…" started Kagome as they were atop the ship

"Kagome, love, as much as I would like to speak with you there are other matters to attend to." said Jack without turning around to look at her.

"Right." mumbled Kagome, "I'll just check on Elizabeth and William." then she walked away as Jack sighed then continued walking.

"Where's the commodore?" asked Giblet as Jack started to walk off with his jar of dirt smugly.

"Fell behind."

"My prayers be with him." mumbled Gibbs falling behind Jack slightly, "The bright side is you made it off free and clear."

"With Jones yes. Kagome not so much."

"Aye Kagome is a fiery lass. Must be very fun with her and a- never mind. Perhaps it is for the best…that you two take it easy for a while."

"Perhaps." agreed Jack as he turned towards a giant splashing sound that revealed the Flying Dutchman.

"Lord on high, deliver us." spoke Giblet covering his mouth with shock

Now:

As it appeared to have shocked everyone to their core, The Flying Dutchman erupted from the depths of the sea. With its Captain in the lead. His crewmen not far behind holding chains and weapons to intimidate Jack and the crew.

"I'll handle this mate." spoke Jack confidently as he pushed aside Gibbs' and walked towards the other side of the Pearl. Causing Kagome and a few others to look at him in shock.

"Oi, fishface! Lose something? Eh? Scungilli!" yelled Jack raising his jar of dirt, than falling off a higher deck of the ship, "Got it! Come to negotiate, eh, have you, you slimy git?" and at everyone's confused expressions, not that he noticed, continued,

"Look what I got. †I got a jar of dirt, I got a jar of dirt. And guess what's inside it?†"

"Enough." spoke Jones from the Dutchman as he turned to his crew and gave a silent command to attack.

Jack however was extremely confused until he saw the canons from the other ship then quietly spoke, "Hard to starboard."

"Hard to starboard!" shouted Kagome taking up the roll of second in command easily.

"Brace up the foreyard!" added in Gibbs.

…

"Hard to starboard!" yelled Jones walking away, "Send his beloved Pearl back to the depths."

"Fire!" screamed Sharkbait.

And then they did.

…

One of the first canons smashed into the back of the ship taking with it the windows and one of the beams in the room.

"She's on us! She's on us!" shouted Pintel

…

"Let them taste the triple guns." spoke Jones cruelly

"Aye, Captain."

…

Gibbs was none too gently pushed aside as Jack took command of the wheel. Narrowly dodging the attacks aimed towards the Pearl.

"Make fast!" spoke Will as he handed the rope to another crewman

"Go on, me darling! Show us what you've got!" begged Pintel patting the sides of the Pearl lovingly.

"She's falling behind!" exclaimed Elizabeth happily

"Aye. We've got her!" agreed Gibbs

"We're the faster?" asked Will

"Against the wind. The Dutchman beats us. That's how she takes her prey. But with the wind…" he trailed off

"We rob her advantage."

"Aye. But not for long." spoke Kagome before walking towards Jack

…

"We're out of range!" shouted shellhead.

"Break off pursuit, run her light, and douse canvas!" yelled Jones as everyone got a look of wicked joy upon their smiles.

"We've given up, sir?" asked another rhetorically causing their smiles to grow.

…

"They're giving up!" yelled one of the human crewman of the Pearl as everyone started cheering.

"You know as well as I do that that isn't true." spoke Kagome softly to Jack, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder as he turned towards her.

"Kagome. I-" and he was interrupted as she kissed him.

"I'm sorry too. But we can make up later."

"Right." he said still slightly dazed, "Kagome I-. Jones' is-"

"He isn't after the Pearl. He's after you." she finished for him.

"Aye." he spoke sadly looking upon her face.

"He won't stop until you've lost Jack. But-" it was Jack's turn to interrupt her as he kissed her back in the same chaste manner as she did earlier.

"I don't know if I can go alone." he started but couldn't continue, he didn't need to.

"You won't have to." she spoke, "Just because we'll lose doesn't mean we can't win."

Then they shared one last kiss in this world before looking upon the crew. Neither realized that the other never let go of their hand.

…

"My father is still on that ship." spoke Will harshly bringing both Jack and Kagome into reality again.

Jolting Jack so much that he remembered his leverage, he then turned to Will, "Why fight when you can negotiate? All one needs is the proper leverage."

And with that they hit a reef and Jack whimpered going after the broken jar of dirt on the lower level. His crew looking on as went on his hands and knees looking for the heart.

"Where is it? Where is the thump-thump?" he questioned low enough so that only Kagome heard him.

"Jack?" she asked cautiously. Bringing him to reality once more as he calmed.

"What happened?"

"We must have hit a reef!" shouted one of the nearby crewmen.

"No it's not a reef. Get away from the rail!" shouted Will as he grabbed Elizabeth and stepped back holding her, Kagome helping Jack up as they did the same looking at Will in confusion but trusting him enough to do as he says.

"Will. What is it?" asked Elizabeth from Will's embrace

"The Kraken." he answered looking towards Jack loathingly.

"To arms!" he screamed leaving Elizabeth with Kagome and Jack. Gibbs following Will shouting orders.

"Load guns! Defend the mast!" he screamed, followed once again by Will

"It'll attack the starboard. Run our the cannons and hold for my signal!" he spoke going under. The crew already ahead readying the weapons.

"Easy boys!" shouted Will trying to calm them which after their initial jump worked,

"Will?" asked Elizabeth from above nervously, the Kraken obviously made itself known a top the deck.

"Steady! Steady." he answered

"Will." she yelled again.

"Hold. Hold."

"I think we've held fire long enough." spoke Pintel harshly.

"Will!' shrieked Elizabeth from above, and that was the only incentive he needed.

"FIRE!" he screamed which was soon drawn out by the thunderous cracks of the cannons.

And they made their mark as well. The tentacles that were once above ground sunk back into the ocean with a wail and the cheers began.

"Shut up! All of you!" screamed Kagome gaining everyone's attention yet before they could complain she continued, "Do you honestly think that a creature as powerful as that is dead. The only thing we've just accomplished is buying us about twenty minutes time and pissing off the most feared sea creature to ever live. You need to evacuate the ship if you want to live." and then most looked to Jack for him to start yelling at her for her absurdness.

"She's right." he spoke instead. "She is after all just a ship. Line up the dingies. Pack only what is needed. We might have about fifteen minutes now."

"There's no boats." answered Elizabeth

"Pull the grates. Get all the gunpowder onto the net in the cargo hold!" shouted Will taking a gun from one of the crew, he handed it to Elizabeth.

"Whatever you do, don't miss." he spoke strongly

"As soon as you're clear." she answered back.

…

"We are short-stocked on gunpowder! Six barrels!" yelled a crewman to Gibbs who nodded gravely before finding Will.

"Hurry up!" someone shouted

"There's only half a dozen kegs of powder!" yelled Giblet urgently to Will who looked at him numbly before replying,

"Then load the rum." before taking off hurriedly. Everyone else frozen in shock.

Then with a pained gasp and a strong struggle for the words to leave his mouth, Gibbs spoke, "Aye the rum too."

…

Suddenly the ship once again lurched forward.

"Not good." spoke someone before the Kraken once again made itself known tearing apart a bottom layer of the Pearl.

"Heave!" shouted Will which was soon echoed by Giblet.

"Heave! Heave like you're being paid for it!" he screamed. "Put your backs into it!"

…

The Kraken destroyed everything it could get its tentacles onto, after it broke apart half of the ship. Will atop of the cargo net watched as Elizabeth ran towards him the rifle still in her waiting arms.

"Clear?" she questioned to which Will merely shook his head no to and replied, "Higher. Higher."

The crew was being ripped from their feet by the beast. It managed to wrap itself around and destroy the pulley which controlled the anchor and sails, completely destroying it. Causing Will and the cargo to drop about ten feet into the air before stopping with a sudden lurch.

Will's leg got caught within the rope after said event occurred. Causing him to bring out his father's dagger and free himself, just as finally told Elizabeth to shoot.

Unfortunately for her at that time the Kraken grabbed her by her ankle and began dragging her through the back of the ship only for Ragetti and Pintel to sever part of its tentacle and free Elizabeth. She looked up just in time to see someone almost grab the rifle before being swept into the monster's arm in her place.

The man couldn't help but drop the gun as his body was flung from side to side. Before finally being dragged off into the abyss.

Elizabeth scrambled up the stairs to the upper navigation deck and reach for the fallen weapon just as another's foot went over it stopping her from reaching her goal.

She at first tried to remove the offending appendage until she felt someone's hand on her arm that gently tugged her upward. And she smiled into the face of Kagome as she brought Elizabeth behind her as they both watch Jack take aim.

It all happened in slow motion where the two watched Jack shoot simultaneously as Will freed himself of the rope and hit dead center in a barrel that was falling in midair. Then a loud explosion and everything was quiet until cheers once again erupted from the crew.

The Kraken's bellow with them.

"Captain orders?" shouted Gibbs running towards Jack and Kagome.

"Abandon ship. Into the longboat." he said handing Gibbs the rifle that helped piss off the Kraken. Jack leading Kagome away with him as he spoke.

"Jack. The Pearl." spoke Gibbs as Jack and in turn Kagome stopped walking as everyone else ran past them.

"She's only a ship. As I've said." spoke Jack reminiscing of the Pearl as he looked upwards. Kagome's hand squeezing his own was enough to bring him back into reality.

"He's right." spoke Kagome

"We have to head for land." agreed Elizabeth

"It's a lot of open water." Pintel said

"It's a lot of water." echoed Ragetti

"We have to try. We can get away as it takes down the Pearl." spoke Will.

"Abandon ship." finalized Gibbs. "Abandon ship or abandon hope."

…

"Are you sure you want to do this?" asked Jack stepping away from Kagome.

"I've listened to your hair-brained schemes so far, and it's gotten us pretty ok already." said Kagome stepping back up to Jack offering him a gentle smile before kissing him again.

Jack was the first to pull away this time as he spoke, "Are you sure?"

"Death is just another new and exciting adventure. I'm sure two pirate legends such as ourselves can handle it." she replied as Jack initiated the kiss first in what was over a month's time.

Kagome pulled away as Elizabeth walked up to them. "Come. Take a walk with me." spoke Kagome. Elizabeth following.

Kagome stopped when she reached Will's body. Half of it hanging off the side of the ship waiting for more cargo to be passed to him. He stopped and climbed back onto the ship looking at Kagome and Elizabeth expectantly.

"You two have come very far. Will take good care of her and Elizabeth the same goes for you concerning Will."

"Where is this coming from?" asked Will a line of worry creasing his forehead as he stepped up to Elizabeth.

"This will be the last adventure the notorious Raven Queen and Captain Jack Sparrow will be a part of. I believe I speak on both mine and Jack's behalf when I say good luck. And please don't do anything stupid." and with that confession both Will and Elizabeth's visions were covered in darkness and when they could see again they were thirty feet away from the ship.

Kagome's last words still ringing in their heads even though they both new that it wasn't meant for neither one of them.

"Koga I'm calling in that favor now."

…

Kagome walked back to Jack after muttering those last words. After she and Jack died Koga would know what to do.

'Nothing to dwell on now.' she thought taking Jack's hand once more.

"You ready?" asked Kagome which followed shortly after was the sea creatures terrible wails. It's entire body exited the water showing off its mouth to the two pirates. Jack moving Kagome into his body to where he was blocking most of it from the monster's wrath.

After its scream ended Jack and Kagome both looked up into the heavily breathing monster's mouth. Jack noticing something, his hat on the ground silently 'hmmed' to himself as Kagome bent down, picked up the hat and after shaking off most of the mucus placed it back onto Jack's head.

After which Jack drew his blade held Kagome to his side once again and for the first time since he killed Barbossa, Jack felt a swell of adrenaline take him as he spoke.

"Hello beastie." he whispered just as he with Kagome by his side and the beast dived at each other.

Unbeknownst to them the crew watched the whole thing.

They lived. They still had hope. But they were filled with sorrow.

Jack Sparrow and Kagome were no more.
