Ship Wreck Cove and the Brethren Court

Thanks for reviewing everyone! Keep it up!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Jack woke up to see a woman's face, smiling widely at him. His vision cleared, and he got out of bed quickly, and became instantly wide awake, seeing Angie there. "Angie! Oi! What are you doing?" He demanded quickly. "Come to order me around again?"

"On the contrary, I wanted to come in and tell ya…we're here." Angie said chuckling, but at the same time, quite seriously.

"Here?" He asked, clueless for a moment. "Oh! Oi! When did we get here? What time is it?"

"Almost noon." Angie said calmly.

"WHAT?!?!?" Jack yelled. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

"Because we all knew ya had a rough night Jackie." Angie said. "We wanted t' let ya rest."

"Rest? I didn't need no bloody rest!" Jack bellowed.

Angie put her hand on Jack's shoulder. "Jackie calm down. Now let's just go to the Brethren Court Meeting, alright?" She said calmly.

Jack folded his arm stubbornly. "Fine." He muttered.

Angie smiled. "That's my little brother!" She added proudly.

"If you say that inside, I will bloody shoot you." Jack threatened.

"Ok, Jackie. Ok." Angie said smiling, and walking with him above deck, her arm slung around his neck as much as he didn't want it there. Jack put down his crossed arms as they reached above deck.

"Ready to go in, Cap'n?" Gibbs asked, coming over to Jack and standing in front of him.

"What do you think, Mr. Gibbs?" Jack said sarcastically.

Before Gibbs could respond, Angie did. "Yes. He is, Mr. Gibbs." She said smiling at him.

Will had now joined them up on deck and came up next to Angie and Jack. "Are we ready to go?" He asked them.

"Aye." Jack said looking over at Will. He turned to Angie. "Could you get yer hand off me, Angie?" He asked.

"Oh alright. If you insist, Jackie." She said, and did as Jack asked.

Barbossa came over to the group with Pintel and Ragetti trailing behind him. "Is everythin' alright here?" He asked looking from Will, to Jack, then to Angie.

"Aye, Barbossa. Everythin's fine." Angie replied.

Barbossa nodded. "Then let's say we go join the rest of the Brethren Court and get that meeting started, eh?" He suggested.

"Agreed." Will said.

Angie nodded firmly in agreement as well.

"Aye." Jack said. He started to walk off the ship, while Will and the rest of the crew going along with them to the meeting followed close behind him. Angie set off after them, deciding to give her brother some distance for once, and Barbossa watched her as she set off behind the group.

"Captain, are you alright?" Pintel asked looking at Barbossa.

Barbossa suddenly looked over at him. "Aye. I'm perfectly fine, Pintel." He replied. Barbossa looked back at Angie as she and the rest of the crew followed Jack off the ship, and then he quickly followed after them, with Pintel and Ragetti following closely behind.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hmmm…what's wrong with Barbossa? You'll find out next chapter!!!

Please review everyone!

JUST KIDDING!!! THE CHAPTER CONTINUES!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Where is Captain Sao Fang?" One of the Pirate Lords Demanded.

Jack of course was too impatient to wait for the Pirate Lord to come, and wanted the meeting to just start. Everyone in the room were all anxious and restless, and wondering where the 9th Pirate Lord was.

"Where is Sao Fang?!?!" Bellowed the same Pirate Lord again, already very impatient.

"Sao Fang is dead." Said a young female voice as she stepped into the room. All faces turned to see none other than Elizabeth Swann step up and punch her sword into the globe where the other 8 were.

A/N: Let me just say now…I apologize for any flaws in this chapter, because from here on in, its got a lot of POTC 3 in it, as it did before, but now it's going straight with what happened, just a little modified though, and I can't very well double check at what was being said during the movie because I don't have a script, because well, the movie is still in theatres, so yet again, I'm sorry, and I will try my best, but bare with me please, and I hope I don't lose any readers from not having accuracy with this part. Now on with the story.

"What do you mean….dead?" Mistress Chang demanded.

"He was killed during an attack on the ship by the Flying Dutchman." Said Elizabeth, now standing in front of them all.

"And he made you Captain?" Asked Jack in disbelief.

"Yes." Elizabeth said.

"I was in the same predicament a few weeks ago..." Angie said.

Elizabeth turned to Angie. "And who might you be?"

"Angelina…Sparrow."

"What?" Apparently the whole Brethren Court, and everyone else who had not known this, was completely shocked. There was uproar, and the room became very loud, and filled with arguing pirates.

"QUIET!" Bellowed Captain Barbossa. The room silenced at once, and looked at him. "We should be getting this meeting started!"

"Aye!" Yelled the pirates in unison and agreement to Barbossa's statement.

"Alright then." Angie said. "Apparently Beckett and his men are on their way here. Don't ask why, we don't have time for it. We need a plan." She said.

"The lass is right! We need to act quick!" Barbossa said.

"I say we fight." Jack said.

"Are you crazy?" Demanded the French Pirate Lord.

Jack was silent a moment, then put on his smile, and nodded firmly. "Yep! Pretty much!"

Angie rolled her eyes. "Jackie, we can't fight! They've got a fleet under their command and ready to fight!"

"Jackie?" Elizabeth whispered as she sat with Will standing next to her.

Will bent down. "Jack's nickname." He replied.

"Finally…something to irritate him with." Elizabeth smiled, and Will smiled as well when he heard her say that. She could tell Jack was irritated when Angie said that by the flare of anger that appeared on his face and especially in his eyes for a few moments.

"What are you laughing at?" Jack asked glaring at Elizabeth and Will who were still smiling.

"Nothing…Jackie." Elizabeth chuckled, and Jack tried his best not to yell in frustration or yell out in irritation and anger.

"We cannot fight! We are outnumbered!" Cried out Sisumbajee's translator. A/N: I'm sorry if I spelled his name wrong!

"We have no choice." Elizabeth said suddenly. The rest of the pirates turned to look at her. "Jack is right."

"I'm right? Oh! I'm right! Thank you." Jack said smiling, and putting his hands together as if he were praying towards Elizabeth.

"He's right?" Angie asked.

"He's right. We're pirates! If we're going down, we should go down without a fight." Elizabeth said.

"Exactly. We must fight…to run away!" Said Jack.

"You've run away from every battle you've been in, Jack." Barbossa argued.

"Have not!" Jack said from across the table back to Barbossa.

"Ye have too!"

"Have not!"

"Have too!"

"Have not!"

"Have too!"

"He has not, Captain Barbossa." Interrupted a female voice. All pirates in the room, including Jack and Barbossa turned to face him.

"What?" Barbossa asked.

"What?" Elizabeth asked as well. Will however knew exactly what Angie was about to say.

"Angie…what are you--?"

"When I was 13, and Jack was 10--" She began.

"—Angie don't you dare!" Jack yelled, but she ignored him and continue.

"—Lord Beckett's father overcame our father's ship and--"

The rest of the pirates in the room were listening intently to Angie.

"—Angie don't!!" Jack yelled louder this time.

"—Jack protected me an' fought one of the navy soldiers. He didn't back away, in fact he had to be held down by two soldiers so they could take 'im to the brig. An' later on he an' Cutler Beckett fought, an' Jack won, and I was able t' flee from the Beckett household and live freely. So therefore Captain Barbossa, I must argue the point that Jack has run away from every fight." Angie finally finished.

Everyone looked to Jack, and he felt a strong passion to leave the room at that moment. He turned to Angie and glared at her. He opened his mouth to say something, but she cut him off.

"Would ya rather be thought of as a chicken? Or a brave heroic pirate?" Angie asked.

Jack opened his mouth to say something again, but was cut off once more. "I think we've got more important matters at the moment than what Jack would like to think of himself as." Will said.

"Thank you, Master Turner. The lad is right. What shall we do about the Navy?" Barbossa asked.

"We should fight!" Elizabeth persisted.

"That is foolish!" Shouted one of the pirates.

"QUIET!" Bellowed Barbossa once more, and the room silenced. "I believe the Code says that the Pirate King must declare war." Barbossa said.

"You're wrong!" Jack shouted.

"But there hasn't been a Pirate King since the first Brethren Court Meeting!" Noted the African Pirate Lord.

"Why don't we let the code decide that, Jack?" Said Barbossa, ignoring the last Pirate Lord's comment. "Bring in the Code!"

Moments later, a man came walking into the room with two very old men holding onto a large book. They waddled in, and the man came up behind Jack, now as tense as could be, as well as Angie, who was looking from Jack to the man behind him, and Jack just stared at Angie.

"Yer in me way boy." Said Captain Teague Sparrow to his son. Angie and Jack both looked at him, hatred in their eyes.

"You abandoned us." Jack said to him, now turning to Teague and gaining some courage.

"What did you say, boy?" Teague asked.

"He said you abandoned us!" Angie shouted.

Teague looked from Angie who had just spoken, and then to Jack, and knew what they were talking about. He grabbed Jack's coat by the shoulder, and then dragged him over to Angie, and grabbed her coat by the shoulder as well, and pulled them away into his cabin, and he looked at the two.

"Let us go!" Angie demanded.

"What she said!" Jack said pointing at Angie as they both tried to get loose.

"Stand still and stop yer squirmin'…because yer not goin' anywhere any time soon. Not until I tell ya why."

The two stopped squirming and looked at him. "This ought to be good…" Jack said sarcastically.

"I wonder what lame excuse ya have fer us this time." Angie said spitefully.

"I can explain." Teague started, but Angie cut him off.

"Oh, I bet you can…"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
