Disclaimer: I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Will stood up from his kneeling position and looked up at Jack. Jack glared at Will and drew his sword quickly out of his sheath and pointed it at Will.
"Can't let you do that, William. 'Cause if Jones is dead, who's to call his terrible beastie off the hunt, eh? Now. If you please: The key." Jack said simply holding out his other hand. Will backed up a little and quickly grabbed the sword Elizabeth had and pointed it at Jack.
"I keep the promises I make, Jack. I intend to free my father. I hope you're here to see it." Will said looking Jack in the eyes.
"I can't let you do that, either. So sorry." Norrington said pulling his sword out and pointing it at Will.
'This is getting ridiculous.' Nikki thought to herself taking a step quickly closer to the chest.
"I knew you would warm up to me." Jack said smiling, but it faded as Norrington pointed his sword at Jack and Will quickly pointed his sword at Norrington.
"Lord Beckett desires the contents of that chest. I deliver it, and get my life back." Norrington respond with a smirk.
"Oh the dark side of ambition." Jack said then the three started to sword fight each other.
"Stop it!" Elizabeth yelled stomping her foot like a little kid. Nikki took this moment to quickly grab the chest with the heart inside, "Will!"
"Guard the chest!" Will yelled back. Elizabeth glared at them, but none of them took notice of her. She then turns to grab the chest, but gasps as she sees Nikki smirking with the chest in her arms.
"Too slow." Nikki said smirking. "Jack you get the key! I got the chest!"
"Good job love!" Jack yelled back blocking a swing from Will. "Head back! I'll meet up with you!"
"Right!" Nikki yelled then smirked one last time at Elizabeth before she took off running. She heard Elizabeth chasing after her, but Elizabeth was no where near as fast as Nikki was. Nikki entered the woods and Elizabeth's footsteps got father and father away until they were gone.
'She's very out of shape.' Nikki thought as she stroked the top of the chest that would save her husband, 'Now where the hell is the direction towards the ship.' She looked around the forest seeing nothing that would led her to the coast line. She sighed then started to head in a random direction keeping her ears open for any sound that would indicate that someone was coming. She heard two sets of footsteps approaching, and she turned her head towards the direction the sound was coming from. Out from the deep forest brush Pintel and Ragetti stumbled into the area that Nikki was standing in.
"Well look who it is." Nikki said grinning evilly at the two who shook at the site of her. "Now why are you two away from the ship?"
"Um well…" Pintel stuttered not able to create a sentence.
"I'll make you two a deal. You two help me protect this chest and get back to the ship. In return I won't kill the two of you." Nikki said smirking. "Oh and if you try to steal the chest or betray me I will kill you without a second thought. So what's your decision?"
"We'll help!" Ragetti yelled not wanting to die; Pintel quickly nodded his head in agreement.
"Good. Now let's go." Nikki said heading the direction the two had just come from. The two pirates walked behind her nervously looking around the forest. The three walked for a few miles until Nikki heard a large group of footsteps approaching, "Looks like we have company." Nikki looked towards the sound. Ragetti and Pintel were confused and looked the way she was looking. All of a sudden a group of Davy Jones fish men appeared. One of them pointed at Nikki.
"She has the chest!" It shouted. The group yelled and charged at the three of them. Nikki looked at Ragetti and Pintel with a raised eyebrow.
"Well what are you waiting for. You're supposed to protect me." Nikki said. Ragetti and Pintel looked at her shocked and shook their heads, "You get in there and fight or I'll take the liberty of killing you right now." Ragetti and Pintel gulped and drew their swords. They then charged blinding at the group, "No point sticking around." Nikki then took off leaving Ragetti and Pintel to fight the group by themselves, "Well they should have listened to Jack." She continued to run through the forest until the wonderful sound of the ocean filled her ears. She broke out of the forest landing onto the beach, a few feet from her was the row boat she came to the island with. She ran over to the rowboat and stood by it. She needed Jack to get back before she could do anything else. Just as she thought that, she saw someone exist the forest and run towards her. Nikki went to grab her sword, but stopped when she noticed it was Jack.
"Jack!" Nikki yelled jumping over to him, "Did you get the key from those two?"
"Oh course love. I am Captain Jack Sparrow." Jack said holding the key up in front of her face. "But Davy's men are here. We better hide the heart." He took the key and put it inside the lock. She heard clicking noises and felt the surface of the box moving. Then the top opened, inside was a heart that was still beating, "Now where should we hide this?" He notices the jar of dirt behind Nikki. "Jar of Dirt!" Jack ran over to it and opened the jar, dumping out some of the dirt. He placed the heart into the jar and put the dirt back on top. Nikki closed the chest and placed it on the ground.
"Um Jack." Nikki said to get her husbands attention. He looked up and saw Davy's fish men were coming. He quickly grabs the oar and starts swinging it at the fish men. Nikki quickly drew her sword and started to fight one of the fish men. She dodged the swing from the fish men and then cut his head clean off. She looked back at the boat and saw that everyone was back. She noticed the Will was blocking Ragetti and Pintel from the boat and Jack was fighting one of the fish men. Jack hits the guy over the head beating him then he turns to Will and sees him looking at the chest and key. Jack hit him over the head with the oar, knocking him out.
'That brings back memories.' Nikki thought rubbing the back of your head remembering when you were after Barbossa and Will had hit you two over the head.
"Leave him lie! Unless you plan on using him to hit something with." Jack ordered taking a step towards the boat.
"We're not getting out of here." Elizabeth said looking around franticly.
"Not with the chest. Inside the boat!" Norrington yelled as he grabs the chest up from where Nikki had put it on the ground. "Don't wait for me." He then ran off.
"Um I say we respect his finally wish." Jack said Nikki nodded and everyone piled into the rowboat heading back to the Black Pearl. Nikki sat in the front looking out at the ocean. Jack sat by her side, "What's wrong love?"
"Don't you think what Norrington did was odd." Nikki said not looking away from the ocean. "He's up to something I just know it."
"Well if he is love don't worry we beat him once we can do it again." Jack said putting an arm around her shoulders.
"I guess you're right." Nikki said looking up at him and smiling.
Nikki: We got the chest, but I just know that Norrington is up to something. The Flying Dutchmen catches up to us and releases the thing that Jack has been so worried about. This is going to be a head ache. Next time – The Flying Dutchmen Returns.
