Zarya's POV
I followed Jack over to the fountain. As I got closer to it I felt it's magic. As Jack tried to touch the water from the mythical fountain Blackbeard called out.
"Sparrow! I'll be first to taste those waters"
Angelica suddenly saw a silhouette towards the entrance.
"Father"
"The one legged man" Blackbeard muttered looking to the quarter master who nodded.
"You brought him here" Angelica said to me and Jack.
"They did not lass!" Barbossa corrected coming into view with his men. "Edward Teach for the crimes on the high seas, by the authority granted by me by his majesty the king and with a goodly amount of personal satisfaction, I hereby place you in the custody of the court and declare you to be my prisoner"
"Is that it?" Blackbeard asked approaching Barbossa.
"Such crimes to include but are not limited to piracy, treason, murder, torture, of the heinous sort including the brutal theft of one used, twisted, hairy right leg" Barbossa then drew his poisoned sword out and even from where I stood with Jack I could smell the poison.
"You dare face this sword?" Blackbeard taunting drawing his magical blade.
"This far away from your ship, aye" Barbossa replied.
"Aye, that be the cold breath of fate I feel down my nape? But I'll have one last fight by god kill em all" Blackbeard shouted. Everyone else drew their swords including myself when Jack shouted.
"Whoa wait a minute!"
Ever one turned to Jack with a WTF look including myself.
"I just, just need to understand something"
My husband then walked over to Barbossa.
"Right so you will fight against them, they will fight against you, all on account of him wanting to kill him?"
Jack had pointed to Barbossa and Blackbeard at that statement.
"Where is the sense?" Jack went on but nobody answered but Scrum shrugged and Jack saw it."Exactly, let them fight each other, while we lay back, watch, have a drink, place some wagers eh?"
"Now I'm glad he left me" I heard Angelica mutter and I couldn't help but smirk at her remark.
Scrum put his blade away content on Jack's suggestion. But Barbossa shouted the orders to fight and swords began to ring out in song as were pistols fired. While everyone fought Scrum tossed Angelica the chalices and knowing she needed my blood I followed after her. Scrum was about to hand over the mermaid tear but Jack had his sword pointed at him.
"Hand it, over the tear, that's a good lad"
"I'm more afraid of her than I am of you" Scrum told my mate before they had their own swords dance. During their sword exchange Jack was able to get the tear and when he turned around Angelica had her blade aimed at Jack.
"Hand it over" she commanded. "There's a good lad"
Scrum had his sword point at my husband and I placed my blade at his side.
"The chalices if you please" Jack asked his ex. Angelica chuckled.
"Sorry Jack I told you, I need years, and now years with you"
"Oh hell no you won't" I growled.
"Now you made me wife mad" Jack told Angelica.
He then tossed his ex the tear and at this distraction I kicked the chalices out of Scrum's grasp. The two goblets went down the hill and I proceeded down the hill and grab one. Just as I did suddenly the Spanish chose that time to bloody enter the picture!
"Good work love" Jack praised me as he helped me up. He had the other chalice and Angelica was helping Loren fight. When he saw the Spanish he froze. One foolish English men tried to claim the fountain to England but he got shot. I took the chalices from Jack and placed them before the Spaniard.
I shot my husband an apologetic look while the chalices were taken and after a brief preach did the Spaniard stomp on them and toss them into water nearby likely never going to be seen again. The Spanish then began their preparations to destroy the fountain. Suddenly Blackbeard gasped and both Jack and I turned to see Barbossa had his sword in Blackbeard. He had been cut first by the poisoned blade before getting stabbed. Blackbeard then fell and after being released did Angelica rush over to her father.
"Angelica don't!" Loren called out to his mate. "It's poison!"
But it was too late after removing the sword from her father did Angelica get her skin cut by the poisoned blade.
Swearing I grabbed Jack so we could find the chalices. He and I dug around in the waters trying to find the damn cups while the Spanish went on their task of destroying the fountain. Loren was beside Angelica and her breathing was starting to get labored from the poison. Barbossa called out he claimed Blackbeard's ship and crew alongside the sword. A loud crash made me and Jack look up to see the fountain was crushed.
There is still water I promised my husband.
I hope your right love Jack told me.
Once satisfied with destroying the fountain did the Spanish leave.
Suddenly Addie emerged from the water in front of us in her dragon form with Syrena beside her. How she got away from Rune was beyond me. Our daughter had one chalice in her mouth while Syrena had the other.
"Good girl darling" Jack told Adelaide as she gave her father the chalices she had. I took the other chalice from Syrena.
"Thank you for keeping my child safe" I told the mermaid.
"Your daughter has treated me with kindness" Syrena answered. "Don't waste my tear"
She then swam away while Addie reverted to her human form.
"Sorry about getting away from Rune but I felt I was needed" Adelaide apologized.
"We'll talk later love" I told my daughter as Jack and I rushed over to what remained of the fountain.
Hurriedly I gave Jack both chalices which he used to collect the immortal water. He then placed the tear into the right one and I used my fangs to bite my wrist. My blood surfaced and I placed my wrist over the right chalice allowing various drops fall into the goblet.
After my wrist healed did Jack give me the chalice that gave immortality to me. We then hurried over to the dying Blackbeard and Angelica. Loren was crying now afraid he would lose his beloved mate.
"Drink the chalice Zarya has" Jack told Angelica. "It has the tear and Zarya's blood in it"
"No I can't" Angelica countered.
"You both can't be saved" I added. "One of you must be selfless for crying out loud!"
"You take it father" Angelica told Blackbeard.
"Captain Teach she's dying" Jack told Blackbeard. "You must save your daughter"
Blackbeard eyed the chalices.
"The chalices that your wife holds has the tear and blood that gives life and the other takes life?"
"Aye hurry" Jack answered.
I thought Blackbeard would take the chalice I had but instead he took the one Jack had.
"Father don't!" Angelica cried.
"Angelica I'm sorry my child" Blackbeard apologized. "I cannot let you die"
Angelica was crying now and she then took the chalice I had and downed the contents.
"I love you father" Angelica then told Blackbeard.
Suddenly the water around Blackbeard began to circle around him. Angelica protested and Loren grabbed her making sure she didn't try and stop what was happening. Water from the fountain shot out of the ground and hit Blackbeard as he stood up. A watery funnel formed around Blackbeard as Angelica's wound healed.
As the magic of the fountain continued Blackbeard turned into a skeleton and he placed his hand out of the water reaching out to his daughter and then the ritual was over.
I know Blackbeard was a jerk in the movie but I truly believe he loved Angelica so that's why he chooses her to live instead of himself in this story. And Addie is sneaky like her Dad! XD.
