Hello fellow followers of Maximum Maria, me and my lovely partner Mere888 are happy to present Chapter 10

o0o0o0o0o

When ever I have a panic attack, I put a brown paper bag over my mouth and drink all the rum inside…

It seems to help.

o0o0o0o0o

"Who dares interrupt us!" the Pirate captains directed at the Black Pearl

"Where is ye captain?" Angelic demanded to know.

The crew not knowing what to do pointed to Sierra, who grinned innocently at what had just now unfolded, but let's take a little peek into the past shall we.

O0o0o 10 minutes before 0o0o0o

Captain Jack Sparrow could escape from anyplace at anytime, just not in this situation. In all honesty he knew he should have never trusted the female nature of a woman, there liars and thief's worse than any plaque that can befall on a man.

But he didn't give up the fact that some...if not a one crew member stayed loyal...even through blackmail.

Gibbs then decides to ask "what do ye think she's doing captain she's changed course and worse yet I think I heard cannon fire."

"Mr. Gibbs there's no telling what goes through that woman's mind even though I have been in the presence of many types of women, you can never trust them." Jack said, his face pressed up against the bars peering out trying to see what was happening above deck.

Luckily for Jack fate seemed to send him a way out of this mess as he heard footsteps approaching.

His hope dwindled when he saw that it was the scrawny young boy who he didn't know the name of that had helped that devil woman take over his ship "why you fox hearted, lying, cheating, mutiny, dishonest dog. How dare you defy me?" Jack hissed out, glaring menacingly at the young lad.

"The same person who's is going to free you." The boy said bluntly, dangling keys in front of his face.

"I always did like you." Jack said, taking hold of the keys and freed himself and unknowingly slamming the cell door in Gibbs face.

"Sorry, no time to free you now, but I'll come back for you." Kayla says in her male voice while she followed behind Jack.

"That woman shall pay for taking over, there's only one caption after all." Jack said while nearly sprinting to the deck.

"That's the idea." Kayla said under her breath.

O0o0o back to the present 0o0o0o

The crew not knowing what to do but point to Sierra, who grinned innocently at what had just now unfolded, just like she and Kayla had predicted.

"I'm the only captain of this ship!" Captain jack sparrow hollered running onto the deck

"It's all yours." Sierra said, coming to place his hat back on his head.

"Now what's going on?" Jack said

"Apparently they want to kill the Captain." Sierra said pointing over to the glares that Jack was now receiving.

"On second thoughts, she's the captain." Jack said, pointing back at Sierra.

"Do you really think we're going to believe that Jake?" Angelic questioned, Jack tried to deny this when Sierra pulled roughly on his shoulder.

"Uh, uh no take backs." Sierra whispered in his ear.

"I hate you." Jack muttered, securing his hat.

O0o0o 5 minutes later 0o0o0o

Meredith did know much about what was going on besides the fact that there was lots of fighting going on.

She did know that she was going to have to get out of there soon before who ever was fighting Barbossa decided to check the captain's quarters.

Knowing her luck it wouldn't be Sierra.

So Meredith said a little prayer then went to find something to defend herself with, unfortunately for her Barbosa hadn't left her with much.

Till she notice something shining nears the bottom of the table.

Crawling under it to get a better look, she realized it was an empty bottle of rum long forgotten.

Meredith sighed out a huff of air and rolled her eyes at Sierra's favorite beverage.

"Why couldn't it have been a frying pan" Meredith muttered under her breath.

Before she could come out from underneath the table she heard the door being forced open.

Two of the pirates that had chased them at Port Royal, pirates that had tried to kill them, that would kill her if given the chance, walked into the room and stand near the table.

Meredith froze for a moment and said a silently "Lord help me."

She then waited for the men to turn away from her before crawling out from under the table and quickly smashing the man with his sword still out across the head with the bottle of Rum, sending him to the floor.

While it wasn't hard enough to kill the pirate, it was enough to knock him out.

The other pirate who was on the other side of the table his hand went for the sword he had sheathed to look through the captain's quarters.

"What do you think ye doing lass?" the other man, which didn't seem all that interested in fighting stared at Meredith bored.

"Well...there's a time and place where we all have no control over a situation and must do what we have to, but I wish not to fight you ." Meredith spoke calmly, her guard slightly crumbling.

The man only raised an eye, until he rolled his eyes and sheathed his sword. "You're religious aren't ya?"

"I have no intention of lying to you; yes I am a believer of God." Meredith stated proudly, not a question but fact.

"I that's makes us both." the man replied digging under his shirt to reveal a rusty cross necklaces.

"Then why do all this?" Meredith asked in bewilderment as she stared into the man's eyes, who kept her gaze.

"We all have to do things we don't want to do sometimes." was his reply while shrugging his shoulders.

"Meredith." she said while holding out her hand.

"Dylan." He replied shortly extending his hand.

"It's very nice to...BEHIND YOU!" Meredith shouted suddenly.

0o0o0o0o

"Maybe we can all just talk about this?" Captain Jack sparrow said nervously taking slow steps backwards as both Angelic and Barbarossa advanced on him.

"Talk with the likes of you, I don't think so!" Barbarossa said his dislike of Jack showing in his words.

"Well besides the fact that you just did mate, doesn't it seem kind of pointless to fight after all we all want the same things." unfortunately for Jack Barbosa wasn't having any of it and lunged for him with his sword.

"Ya, we want to see your head on the end of my sword." Barbosa hissed, taking a swing at Jack who sassily ducked in time. Swinging himself over the side of the ship he did a kind of monkey swing kind of move and swung himself over onto the next ship over...being the one Meredith was being held captive.

"Ha, you should see the looks on your face because you look-" Jack couldn't get the chance to finish because he hit smack dab into the ship's mass.

0o0o0o0o

Dylan ducked barely missing the sword aiming for his head; he rolled to the floor away from the table and the Chinese looking pirate wielding the sword, somehow managing to withdraw his own sword in the process.

As all this happened Meredith went for the only weapon at her disposal the sword that clattered to the floor with the unconscious pirate.

Fortunately for her she didn't have to us it; Dylan was holding his own against the other pirate without much trouble at all.

"Get out of here." Dylan told Meredith in an almost bored tone despite the sword fight.

"Don't worry about me, I've faced worse." which caused the other pirate to attack him more harshly, not that Dylan seemed to cared.

Taking his advice Meredith made her way out of the captains courtiers with the sword still in her hand.

Unfortunately she doubted she wouldn't have to use it.

As Meredith cleared the doors of the captain's courtiers she noticed the last thing she expected to see.

The Black Pearl and its crew.

What ever lead to them being lead by her, Meredith knew one thing for sure Sierra had a lot to do with this.

0o0o0o0o

Sierra made her way quickly through the chaos of the three fighting ships looking for her best friend the most stubborn Christian she had ever met.

And with Kayla and Will watching her back she was going at twice the pace she would have went without them.

Unfortunately that wasn't improving her chances of finding Meredith much.

"I think one of us should look on the other ship!" Sierra said to Will and Kayla while tripping the pirate lunging at her to the ground.

"Are you INSANE! This place is a mad house!" Will replied dealing with his own set of pirates.

Sierra turned her head to face of Will turner while continuing to blindly fight and succeeding against the two pirates she was currently facing.

Her face expressed the surprise to his remark as she replied "I thought that had already been established!" Sierra said dramatically then continued with "and do you have a better idea to find Meredith faster?"

Will just shook his head at Sierra than proclaimed "Fine then I'll check the other ship while you to check the other!"

At Sierra's raised eyebrow he said "What? Crazy should stick together." referring to Sierra and Kayla, then promptly ran through a suddenly clear path to one of the other ships.

"I'm not sure weather to take that as a compliment or an insult?" Kayla said then started spinning to avoid an attacking pirate while grabbing his arm and propelling him into the other attacking pirates.

"I know right, but we'll worry about that later." Sierra said while grabbing Kayla's arm and jumping onto the other ship Will wasn't on.

"Sierra has you ever considered ask someone if they've seen her." Kayla said after they had made it halfway across the ship.

"You know, that's a great idea!" Sierra said.

After a minute Sierra spotted a boy about their age with dirty blonde hair longer than Meredith's that was avoiding most of the fight.

Figuring why not, she decided to ask him in the nicest way that the situation required.

By sneaking up behind him and threatening his life.

Kayla couldn't have done it better herself "Where's the missionary?" She said.

The boy rolled his eyes and pointed up.

"Good I'll be back" Sierra said a little too cheerfully for the situation, leaving Kayla with her sword at his neck.

After quickly climbing up the mass of the ship Sierra quickly discovered that Meredith wasn't there but a young man was tied to the mast.

"Really" Sierra said while looking up to the clouds.

0o0o0o0o

Meredith was trying to avoid the chaos as much as possible.

Sadly that method wasn't going to help her find Sierra seeing as there was no way to get on the Black Pearl without going through the chaos.

Leaving Meredith with a choice wait for Sierra to somehow find her and risk the chance of another pirate trying to kill her or try fighting her way through the chaos and trying to find Sierra.

"Lord please give me a sign." Meredith whispered.

And he did because in that moment someone came out of the chaos and came straight her way.

The man looked up and smiled a smile that would send chills down the spine of the women trying to get with Mr. Turner at Tortuga.

Meredith raising the sword to defend herself.

"Now, now swords aren't proper for a lady, I think I'll have to do something about that." the man said while loosely raising his blade to disarm her.

What he didn't expect was for her to disarm him.

"To be fair I don't learn from a lady and it was the only way to get Sierra to even set foot in church." Meredith explains to the man then knocked him out with the hilt.

0o0o0o0o

"All I asked was to find one simple missionary and now I got two, Just how many are there of you?" Sierra questioned, looking straight at the man that was tied up to his chest by thick rope.

"We are all God's creations." Sierra once again mentally groaned "Just tell me, which side are you on?"

"I'm neither with you nor against you." The man replied. "Ya, ya religious stuff I know." Sierra huffed as she began to saw away at the ropes that bound him to the mass.

Once she cut him down, she expertly caught his arm and swung him over towards the running rigs she held onto him until he had his footing, when he did she shimmed her way back on deck where the fighting was in the heat of battle, yet dwindling all at the same time.

Kayla had joined the battle again but with an unexpected an ally it seemed.

O0o0o a few moments ago 0o0o0o

"You know you really didn't have to do this." the boy said still held at sword point by Kayla.

"No but what's the point of life if you don't make it interesting every once and a while?"

"You're on a pirate ship, just how interesting do you have to make things?" the boy reasoned.

"In my opinion it's better to make things interesting; it gives you more experience in cheating death." Kayla said while smiling exactly like a certain infamous pirate.

"You're mad." The boy said.

"Thank goodness for that, otherwise my ideas would never work!" Kayla exclaimed drawing the attention of the some of the Pirates fighting.

The boy was quiet for a moment not knowing what to say about that.

Turns out he didn't have to though because in the next moment someone had snuck up behind him their sword drawn and Kayla noticed.

"Hey I'm the only one allowed to threaten my captive!" Kayla exclaimed while bring her sword and rushing at the man,

O0o0o back to the present 0o0o0o

"Weren't you supposed to be watching him?" Sierra pointed to the boy they had threatened.

"Yes and now I'm fighting with him so what's the point exactly?" Kayla said while ducking under a sword.

"The point is that is not how you watch someone!" Sierra exclaimed then frowns when she noticed that statement sounded eerily like Meredith.

"Don't worry about it I saved his life." Kayla stated while ducking under the same sword again but this time bringing her free hand up and knocking the guy out with her elbow.

"After she put me in danger in the first place." the boy muttered unfortunately loud and enough for Kayla to here.

"You're on a pirate ship, you can only blame yourself for the trouble you face." Kayla said calmly.

"Why are you on a pirate ship then?" the boy said.

"We don't have time for this we need to find Meredith."

"Who's Meredith?" said the missionary.

Sierra huffed ignoring him and started going off to find the right missionary hopefully, she really didn't need another one of them after all.

0o0o0o0o

Will Turner had been searching for Meredith and had turning up with nothing so far

As he drew closer to the other ship the one Sierra was on when he ducked just in time to avoid getting his head severed from his neck.

Just as Will was about to handle the man he was knocked out suddenly by an unseen force.

Will surveyed his surroundings and caught a glimpse of gold, taking a closer look he came to see the infamous Meredith take down a man twice her own size.

"Nice to see you handling yourself." Will said, but instantly put his hands up as Meredith pointed her own sword at him. But almost at once she seemed to recognize him, and gave him a small smile in the recognition of a friend.

"Mr. Turner thank goodness you found me, but I suppose I really should be thanking Sierra now shouldn't I?" Meredith chuckled weakly, before letting out a gasp and pushing Will out of the way as her sword collide with another man's sword.

"NO, Wait Stop." very quickly the boy let up his hold of his sword as he turned to a very feisty looking girl, who seemed familiar, wasn't she on Mr. Sparrows ship pretending to be a boy?

"Meredith!" Kayla said.

Meredith was more than thankful to see Sierra just of the other girl's shoulder.

"It's so good to see you all again." Meredith stated, coming to stand by Sierra who slung an arm around her shoulders.

"Ay, but you know me, trust this old girl to come and find you...even if it's mutiny!"

"Mutiny? What do you mean?" Meredith was highly confused but yet on guard.

"A tale for another day maybe." The other girl pointed out the chaos that surrounded them still.

Sierra and Meredith shared a look before standing back to back, but before they even had a chance to do anything there was a rocking of the ship, making them topple over each other.

"What in the world was that?" Sierra groaned out, pushing Meredith off the top of her as she stood up.

"Not entirely sure." Meredith said, taking Will's offered hand to help her get back up.

"I think it was him." Kayla pointed out. In all their fighting no one noticed a fourth ship, a very big fourth ship come up on their blind side and seemed to take them by surprise.

At there standing at the helm was none other than Black Beard himself.
