They arrived at the Isla De Muerta after dark. They hid their ship, making sure not to be seen by the pirates or the front of the cave.
Norrington, Jack, and a couple boats full of naval officers were rowing out to ambush the pirates. James was wary about what they were doing.
"I don't care for the situation. Any attempt to storm the caves could turn into an ambush." Jack scooted closer to James.
"Not if you're the one doing the ambushing," He was going to put his plan out there for consideration. "I go in, I convince Barbossa to send his men out with their boats. You and your mates return to the Dauntless and blast the bejesus outta them with your cannons, eh?" Confident in his plan, he put his arm on the Commodore's shoulder. "What do you have to lose?" James was annoyed, but stoic as ever.
"Nothing I'd lament being rid of." He used his gun to peel Sparrow's arm off his shoulder. He didn't want the pirate or his diseases to rub off on him. Jack thought for a bit.
"Now, to be quite honest with you, there's still a slight risk for those aboard the Dauntless which includes Miss Swan, Miss Rachel, and," He paused for a minute as it sunk in. "The future Mrs. Commodore." James thought about it. A signal was sent back to the Dauntless and the girls were to be locked in James' office.
The girls were all planning to fight when officers grabbed their arms. They immediately started struggling, knowing what was happening. Rachel started flexing her hand, preparing for what was to come. Elizabeth was screaming at them. Gillette apologized, sort of.
"Sorry, but it's for your own good." Elizabeth was shoved in first.
"Coward! The Commodore ordered! I have to tell him! The pirates!" Emily was shoved in next.
"They can't be killed!" Emily finished.
Rachel was shoved in last, a scowl prominent on her face. Her fist was clenched. Gillette was silently laughing at them.
With full mocking and sarcasm Gillette said, "Don't worry, ladies, he's already informed of that. A little mermaid flopped up on deck and told him the whole story."
Rachel pulled back her hand, and SNAP! She had broken Gillette's nose. He quickly closed the door as Rachel smiled, proud of herself. Every time she watched that part of the movie, that had been what she wanted to do. It was very relieving to have actually done it. Elizabeth rushed at the door.
"This is Jack Sparrow's doing!" No one heard her. At least, they weren't paying attention. Emily and Rachel had already started tying things together to form a makeshift rope to escape the office where they had been trapped.
Back with Will, at the Isla de Muerta, Pintel and Ragetti were escorting the Turner boy for the ceremony.
"No reason to fret," said Pintel, trying to be civilized. "It's just a prick of the finger, a few drops of blood."
Twigg came up behind them, roughly grabbing Will's arm and dragging him away.
"No mistakes this time. He's only half Turner. We spill it all!"
Pintel and Ragetti watched him being dragged away. They scoffed to themselves. Then gave each other a look.
"Guess there is reason to fret." They laughed and walked on.
Barbossa was standing at the top of his golden hill. The crowd of pirates stood around like a crowd of fans at a concert and Barbossa and Will were superstars. The captain put up his hands and started his speech; completely unaware of Captain Jack Sparrow pushing his way through the crowd.
"Begun by blood!" Jack kept pushing to the front. "By blood un-" Will interrupted him.
"Jack!" Barbossa looked down at the intruder. He was mystified.
"It's not possible." It was like Jack was a ghost.
"Not probable." Jack corrected. If you knew Captain Jack Sparrow, anything was possible. Will decided to ask a few questions, not nearly as in awe of Jack's survival as the rest of the pirates.
"Where's Elizabeth?" Jack looked at him, seeming to only notice him for the first time.
"She's safe, just like I promised. However, Emily Price will most likely marry Norrington. Rachel Price is as wild as ever, which is quite comical. I'll tell them you asked. Elizabeth is probably doing whatever with no consequence to herself. Oh, and you get to die for her, just like you promised." Barbossa looked so fed up at this point, but Jack continued. "So we're all men of our word, really, except for Elizabeth, Emily, and Rachel who are, in fact, women, but considering they have no real promises to keep, I probably should have-"
"Shut up! You're next." Barbossa interrupted. He leaned back, readying his knife to slit Will's throat.
"You don't want to be doing that, mate." Barbossa paused; he was visibly seething with annoyance.
"No, I really think I do," he got a better hold on the knife. Jack looked at it,
"Your funeral," Barbossa rolled his eyes as he looked up at Jack. He lowered his knife from the young Turner's neck.
"Why don't I want to be doing this?" And Jack and Barbossa went on talking about what should and should not be done. During that time, Jack had hidden a piece of the Aztec gold in his sleeve. No one, except Will, noticed.
Eventually, it was concluded that the members of the crew, except a few, should go 'take a walk' to attack the Dauntless. Pintel and Ragetti even got a special job. They were picked to be the Trojan horse, dressed as women to distract the navy.
On board the Dauntless, the Governor was just realizing that the three women under his care were missing. But they were already boarding the Pearl, making their way to free Gibbs and the rest of crew members that the three girls had grown accustomed to on their journey.
Emily climbed up first, being more daring, Elizabeth and Rachel following carefully. Rachel got up on deck, pulling Elizabeth the rest of the way. They turned to see Emily with Jack the monkey perched on her shoulder, petting its furry skeletal form.
"That is so adorable!" Rachel whispered. Jack the monkey jumped on her shoulder, seeming to instantly like the girl. He shrieked at Elizabeth making it hard for Emily and Rachel not to snicker. Elizabeth started walking when she stepped on an incredibly loud board. The sound had alerted someone and they could hear the footsteps pounding below deck. Emily and Rachel sent Elizabeth on to the brig. They were prepared to take care of the two crew men coming up the stairs.
Emily grabbed Rachel and they hefted the long boat back so it was set to knock someone over. As soon as the two were set for their surprise attack, the idiotic pirates stepped on deck. They quickly checked the railing and BAM! They were knocked overboard by the long boat. Elizabeth came up with the crew, surprised to see the Price sisters impatient and waiting.
The crew started scrambling around as the three worked to get down the boat. Elizabeth didn't even get the chance to ask for help from them. She was forced in the boat, and as Rachel rowed Emily explained what was going on as the three neared the caves once again.
During that time, the Dauntless was thoroughly under attack and Jack had started a fight with Barbossa. So everyone was fighting, except the three girls in the long boat. They got into the cave, and observed the fight that was going on. It seemed unfair that Will was against 3 other men all by himself. Elizabeth jumped right into the fight. She had learned a few tricks through the adventures. She went to back him up but Will got knocked down anyway.
"I'm going to teach you the meaning of pain." A pirate pulled back to finish Will off while Rachel picked up a long gold rod.
"You like pain?" She used all her strength to whack the pirate over the head. "Try wearing a corset."
Emily helped Will up. Elizabeth came over to him.
"Whose side is Jack on?" Will shrugged. Emily stole his line.
"At the moment?" Emily shrugged.
Emily took a moment to watch the two undead Captains fight it out in a battle that was going nowhere. Emily could see Jack push Barbossa backwards. She turned to her sister.
"What now Jack Sparrow? We be two immortals locked in an epic battle until judgment day and the trumpets sound." Emily glared playfully at Rachel who responded with the next line.
"Or you could surrender." The girls laughed a little, slightly relieved that no one heard them quoting the movie. Suddenly three pirates began to chase the two Price girls. Good thing they practically knew this part by heart or they could have been injured or dead. They were tossing the gold rod from earlier back and forth, years of dance guard paying off.
Emily grabbed the rod and shoved it through all three pirates, locking them together. Will ran up the mound of gold with Elizabeth and got ready to slice his hand with the coin. Emily placed an explosive in the middle man's stomach and both Rachel and Emily pushed them into where the moon wasn't shining.
"No fair," were the pirate's last words, before he blew up with his mates.
Emily ran, ready to help Jack, but as Rachel followed to help as well, she got stopped in her tracks. Barbossa was pointing his pistol right at her. Jack cut his hand and threw his coin to Will.
A gun fired.
Rachel flinched.
Barbossa looked at Jack. Jack had a smoking pistol in his hand.
"Ten years you carry that pistol, and now you waste your shot." Rachel slumped down on the rock in utter shocked that she still had her life. Again, Emily stole Will's line.
"He didn't waste it," she pointed to Will, who was dropping the two coins into the chest. Barbossa dropped his sword and tore open his jacket and vests.
"I feel," he paused gauging himself, "cold." He dropped to the floor, dead. The curse was lifted. An apple dropped from his hand. The Price girls were perplexed as to when he got the apple in his hand. Rachel and Emily knew, though, that those on the Dauntless had won.
Jack immediately went scrounging around the cave, picking up trinkets and other miscellaneous, valuable things that he wanted. Emily was searching around too, until she spotted Will and Elizabeth, awkwardly standing together. She sauntered over, geared up to fix it.
"Will," she called to him. He looked over at her. She tapped her nose, "Opportune moment."
A small smile graced his lips. He understood. He reacted by turning back to Elizabeth, but she was already by the boat, ready to leave. The opportune moment was gone.
Rachel looked around, not really interested in the gold around her. Jack signaled over to her, so she walked over.
"Yes, Jack?" He was silent. He grabbed around, tossing things behind him, before lighting up.
"Here it is," He pulled up a faded necklace. The charm on it was a ship on the ocean, sparrow flying over it. He took the necklace and placed it over Rachel's head. She was blushing. "From me to you, love," He winked. Leaning in, she kissed his cheek.
"Thank you, Jack." She tucked the necklace into her shirt and walked over to Emily, Will and Elizabeth. Jack was the last to get into the boat.
"Now, if you'll be so kind, I'd be much obliged it you'd drop me off at my ship." Rachel frowned and turned to Jack, ready to explain what happened. Emily intervened first and told how they had 'kept to the code' and left him.
"I'm sorry, Jack," Rachel said, looking genuinely upset.
"They done what's right by them." He looked over at her, "Can't expect more than that." He placed his arm around her shoulder. Realizing that she was still wearing his jacket, "Are you ever going to give that back?"
Rachel giggled at him.
"Possibly, if I ever feel like it." During the whole exchange, Emily felt lonely. Elizabeth and Will were staring at each other. Rachel was under Jack's arm, playing with a piece of his hair. And James was back on the Dauntless probably as worried about Emily ad Emily was worried about him.
