Gibbs, Pintel, and Ragetti appeared on a beach, when morning broke. Pintel started running around, laughing.

"Light! Light! We're free!!!" He exclaimed. Ragetti smiled, and quickly tucked away the strange compass. Gibbs ran to the shoreline, splashing the salty sea water in his face.

"Thank ye O Lord!!" he said to the sky.

As they ran down the beach, Ragetti felt the compass vibrate in his pocket. He took it out, and it started to glow jade. He started walking with it, and it stung him.

"Ow!" He bellowed. He dropped it in the sand, and a jade path followed down the beach.

"Eh, look at this! Do you see it?" Ragetti asked Pintel. Pintel looked at him as Ragetti pointed to the lit pathway.

"I don't see anything!" Pintel explained.

"But it's right here!" Ragetti paused, and remembered what the Jade Dragon told him. "Uh, never mind! I guess I'm hallucinating since I've been in the dark so long!" he lied.

"Alright!" Pintel replied. "Just splash some water in yer face and you'll be fine."

Ragetti nodded, picked up the compass, and followed the jade lit path.

Jack, Elizabeth, Barbossa, and Lee walked to the docks. Barbossa winced slightly.

"What's wrong?" Elizabeth asked him. Barbossa lifted the side of his shirt, and revealed sever scars, still slightly bloody. Barbossa read Elizabeth's face.

"My punishment for takin advantage of you, E…" Barbossa looked at Jack. Jack's eyes tightened. "…Misses Sparrow." He corrected himself. Elizabeth looked at Jack with uneasy eyes. Jack shrugged, and looked away. Lee decided to change the subject.

"I'm sorry Captain, but my guts tell me to go the other way. If we want to find the ring, I'm sure we can find something to help us back the other way," Lee explained. Jack looked at Lee's certain eyes. He smiled.

"Aye, let's go the other way then. I trust you," Jack agreed. Lee smiled vividly. He and Jack turned around, and started walking back. Elizabeth did also, but slowed down.

Barbossa struggled to turn around, but he started walking, very slowly, behind Jack and Lee. Elizabeth thought this over. She thought of what Lee said, about them kissing, and suddenly, she remembered that night.

A wave of guilt passed over her as she remembered the look in his eyes after they kissed. Then she thought about his scars.

Would he ever get the chance to love again, if this was his punishment for loving once?

She then smiled a forgiving smile at him, and he slightly smiled back. She pulled his arm over her shoulder, and helped him walk down the beach.

Kali walked into the blacksmith's shop in her palace, and checked all the swords and daggers. An exhausted man in the corner was picking at something with a very small dagger. Kali watched closely, but something distracted her gaze.

"My lady, one of my men has reported that someone has disturbed the Jade Dragon. It was Sparrow's crew," Sao informed.

"That comes as no surprise. They found the carving, and eventually found its Lair." Kali grinned. "And they died by the beast." Sao's face darkened.

"Actually, my Lady, they were spotted along Malawi Beach. They escaped." Kali stared into Sao's eyes, and saw no deception. But then, Kali face brightened.

"Isn't Jack at Malawi Beach? Remember, I sent my warriors down there, and they all died?"

"Actually, that's the only man who survived." Sao pointed to the man in the corner, still picking at something round.

"But still, Jack is down there, now along with his crew." Kali grinned widely. "Now all the easier to dispatch. Send the Kalarows!!!"

----------------

"Jack! Jack!" Gibbs shouted. They ran up to each other, and hugged. Gibbs shook Jack's shoulders in excitement. "It's nice to see your ok, Captain!"

"Where have you been?" Jack asked.

"Kali's men trapped us in a prison. We found a way out, and discovered the Jade Dragon." Lee's face turned dark.

"Have you seen Kali recently? How about Sao?" Lee asked anxiously. Gibbs looked at Lee, and eyed Jack.

"He's with me, Master Gibbs. He helped us when many men attacked the inn we were staying at. He's apart of me crew now!" Jack explained. Gibbs smiled at Lee.

"Nice to meet ye, lad! I'm Gibbs, the Navigator. These here are Pintel and Ragetti, weapon masters of The Black Pearl….." Gibbs trailed off.

"Any news of her?" Jack asked.

"I'm sorry Jack. No." Jack's face wilted in sorrow. Barbossa, too, became somber. Elizabeth walked towards Gibbs.

"Don't worry. We'll find The Pearl." Elizabeth tried to cheer them up.

"You look healthy, Elizabeth. I'm glad," Gibbs said, trying to smile. Elizabeth smiled back. She kissed Jack's cheek, laid her hand on Barbossa's shoulder.

"Now, let's go get a drink!" Elizabeth shouted cheerfully. Everyone's face brightened, except for Lee's. "And by me, the Captain's wife, I here by allow Lee to drink rum with us!" Lee ran up, and hugged Elizabeth. She smiled, and Jack pulled Lee from her.

"She's still my wife you know," He said playfully.

They started walking down the beach, when the morning sky darkened. Thousands of screeches echoed in the sky.

"What is that?" Elizabeth asked. Lee became wide eyed.

"Those are Kalarows…." he whispered. He took off down the beach, as rain started to pore down. "We must find shelter! Quick!" he shouted.

They followed him closely, and they came upon a cave. Elizabeth stopped at the entrance of the cave to make sure everyone got in before they closed it up. Everyone got in, except Barbossa.

He was struggling across the beach, until he fell in the sand. The Kalarows came closer. Elizabeth would not let him die.

As she ran out into the rain, Lee called after her.

"Elizabeth! Stop! These creatures are flesh eaters! They are invincible in groups that size! Please, come back!!!" He cried out.

Elizabeth came up to Barbossa, and grabbed his arms.

"Come on! We've got to get inside! Get up Hector!" she shouted.

"It's is too late for me! Go, and save yourself!" He tried to convince her. But she wouldn't leave. He looked up at the approaching Kalarows. His eyes flashed a second of red, and he got up.

"Let's move!" He shouted against the wind. They found themselves almost to the cave, when they tripped. Elizabeth shouted in horror as Kalarows swooped in. But, something killed all the Kalarows in front of them in one swoop.

Bright shining, gold eagles, as big as elephants, tore through the cloud of Kalarows. Soon, it was all over. Elizabeth couldn't help but get the feeling that these creatures, too, were from the Twilight Realm.

As they flew away, they dove into the ground and disappeared, just as the wolves did. Elizabeth's memory flashed in her mind, and she remembered the event that took place when she was in wolf form. These creatures were from the Twilight Realm.

The rain ceased somewhat, and Jack came running out of the cave.

"Elizabeth, are you alright?" He asked.

"Yes, I'm fine," she replied, smiling. Jack looked at the blood in the sand. He glanced at Barbossa's shirt, now soaked with blood. Jack whistled for Pintel and Ragetti.

"Barbossa, your wounds have opened up," Jack explained, wrapping a cloth around his scars. "We need to take you to a hospital."

Pintel and Ragetti pulled Barbossa up, Barbossa's arms wrapped around their shoulders.

"Where are we going to find a hospital, Capt'n?" Gibbs questioned.

Lee smiled. "I think I know a place."
