A storm broke out as the ship made their way into battle. Marie went with Elizabeth and Will. She heard Gibbs shout,
"Man the capstan...keep that powder dry! Maelstrom!"
"Oh no…" Marie said quietly.
Elizabeth approached Barbossa and said,
"Captain Barbossa, we need you at the helm!"
"Aye, that be true!' Barbossa agreed, "brace up the yards, ya cockeyed deck apes...dyin' is a day worth livin' for!"
"They watched the Dutchman enter the Maelstrom and Will said,
"On our stern and gaining!"
"More speed! Haul your wind and hold your water!"
The Dutchman fired several shots and Will said,
"Take her out or she'll overbear us!"
"Nay, farther in! We'll cut across to faster waters!"
"Prepare to broadside!" Elizabeth commanded.
Marie ran for the canons as Gibb shouted,
"Captain the guns!"
"At the ready!" Will commanded.
They began to load the canons and Marie grew more and more impatient.
"Batten down the hatches!" Gibbs commanded, "Stick to your guns! Sight the flash!"
"Fire!" Barbossa asked,
"Fire!" Elizabeth repeated
The canons were fired on either ship. The ship rocked from the waves and blast of the canons and Marie held on tightly as Barbossa shouted,
"It'd be too late to alter course now, mateys!" He then began to laugh heartily.
They were getting sucked further and further into the maelstrom bringing them closer together. The crew swung across ships and Marie swung onto the Dutchman.
She was met with the company's men and the crew of Davy Jones. She fought as well as expected with a sword. Only managing to stab them from behind. She ignored the sickly feeling of death in her stomach and tried to focus. Where was Jack? She ran down into the brig and checked each cell. Jack wasn't there.
She ran on deck and stopped for a moment, trying to think like Jack. At this she only thought for a few seconds then looked up. She looked around and was met with Jack fighting Davy Jones. Jack held the chest to Marie's relief and she quickly looked around for a way to get up there. Suddenly a sword was pressed to her throat and she realized it was the two thick headed whelps who were once guarding the Interceptor. She shook her head in doubt as one of them said,
"I'll do it…"
She sighed and knocked their heads together and looked for a line. Just as she was about to give up she saw a key fall in front of her. She quickly recognized it as the key to the chest and pocketed it quickly.
She was met with a puffer fish crewmember. She quickly tripped him and stabbed him. She was about to take on another one of the company's fighters but saw the chest hit one of Jones' crewmembers on the head and fall onto the deck. She hurriedly looked up and shook her head,
"Jack."
She was about to pick it up but Will grabbed it. He ran off with it and Marie quickly followed. She was about to call him someone shouted,
"Turner!" and swung his sword at Will. Will blocked it with the chest and Marie quickly stabbed him. Will looked at her,
"Not bad, considering I've never used a sword before…" Marie said to Will.
He grinned. They ran with the chest and just about as Marie was going to tell Will that she had the key Will was smacked hard across the face by his father,
"Bootstrap!" Marie shouted.
The chest was knocked from Will's hands and Marie quickly retrieved it as Will stood up and tried to block his father's swings.
"It's me! It's Will, your son!"
Bootstrap didn't rcognize him and proceeded to throwing him by his pony tail. Marie was about to help when she heard a hearty thunk. She looked over and saw Davy Jones approaching her. As she backed away Jack landed in front of her. He pulled out a broken blade and Jones laughed as Jack ran. Jones chased him in humor as Marie shook her head.
She went back to Will and tripped Bootstrap. Bootstrap stood up and was about to attack Marie when Will knocked him over and stabbed his shirtsleeve into the railing. He said quietly,
"I'm not going to kill you. I made you a promise."
Marie looked back over at Jack who was now spinning the wheel of the ship, infuriating Jones who was stuck in the middle of it. Marie looked back at Will and said,
"Will! I have the key!"
He looked at her curiously and she pulled it out. Which attracted the attention of some crew members. Marie and Will fought them off as quickly as possible and Marie looked over to see Jack knocked off his feet and she ran to him quickly,
"Jack!"
Jones moved to attack but Elizabeth swung onto the Dutchman, getting in front of Jack and Marie. Marie looked at Jack he looked at her. He seemed to be alright. Davy said to Elizabeth,
"All right, then! You'll see no mercy from me!"
"That's why I brought this! "Elizabeth said pulling out her sword.
Marie said to Jack,
"I have the key and the chest."
He looked over to see Will approaching Elizabeth who had just been knocked off her feet by Jones. She helped Jack to his feet and they set to work opening the chest. As Jones was about to stab Elizabeth Will stabbed Jones from behind. Jones yelled in pain and surprise but said to Will,
"Mister, did you forget? I'm a heartless wretch." He bent the sword inside himself. Will tried to pull it out but Davy swung at him, missing he kicked Will to the deck. He looked back and forth between Will and Elizabeth and said, "Ah, love. A dreadful bond. And yet so easily severed."
Jack held the heart and Marie looked at him. She reached for sword and realized she had lost it. Jack pulled out his broken sword but didn't stab the heart. Davy continued, as he pointed a sword at Will, "Tell me, William Turner, do you fear death?"
"Do you?" Jack asked. Davy turned to face them and Jack said, "Heady tonic, holding life and death in the palm of one's hand."
"You're a cruel man, Jack Sparrow." Jones said.
"Cruel is a matter of perspective." Jack replied.
"Is it, now?" Davy ask turning to stab Will in the chest. They all gasped in shock, Jones laughed at their faces and Marie looked at Jack in fear and question. He was stunned. Elizabeth ran to Will and said,
"Will! Will! Look at me! Stay with me! You're all right!"
Marie looked at Jack who still had no decisive move. Marie ran over to Bootstrap,
"That your son!" She shouted franticly, "William Turner!!" No recollection appeared on Bootstraps face. She grew hysterical, "Your son is dying!!"
At this he blinked suddenly and said,
"William! My son!" She yanked out the blade and Bootstrap ran over to Davy and began to fight him in fury. Jack looked as if he might stab the heart but he didn't.
"Will! Will! Look at me! Look at me!" Elizabeth said growing desperate.
Marie looked at Jack in panic,
"What do we do?!"
As if she had snapped him out of his stupor they knelt next to Will. Jack put the heart on the deck and Marie put the knife in Will's hand. They heard Davy say to Bootstrap,
"You will not forestall my judgment!"
At that moment the heart was stabbed and Elizabeth let Will's hand fall from the handle of Jack's broken sword. Jones' tentacle's twitched. He looked up and whispered,
"Calypso."
He then proceeded to fall lifelessly off of the deck into the maelstrom.
