Night had just fallen when a black ship with black sails came into port on Tortuga

Sorry about the long wait, I will try to update twice this week…

Hey, if you want to find out more about my villain, Stephanie Brown, check out my friends story about her. Captain Brown wanted me to give her a sob story but I couldn't work it in so I let her write a spin off story. It's about what is running through her mind while my story is happening. Read it!!

Read and review or else.

Disclaimer: As much as I want to, I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean I'm just a crazed fan girl.

"Well, that's everyone." Elizabeth said looking around. "I just wish that we could have gotten to Chang sooner. He might still be here."

"It is not your fault he killed himself." Will said as he put an arm around her shoulder.

"I know." She said sadly.

"Before we escape from the lockers, may we have the honor of learning our rescuer's name?" Stephanie asked.

"Captain Jack Sparrow."

"Not you Jack!" Gibbs yelled. He still didn't have any rum and was letting everyone know he was angry about it. "She was talking about our mystery man."

"Yeah, I knew that, I was just trying to make a joke." Jack replied.

"You really like to hear your name don't you? But, I guess the lady is right, I owe you a name. It's Nick; and you're welcome for saying thanks for rescuing you." Nick said looking around Jack's locker. They had gone back to it because a desert was one of the least harmful lockers. "But, there is still the matter of escaping this place forever."

"Get thinking everyone, I'd rather not spend all eternity I the lockers!" Barbossa commanded.

"Hey! Who put you in charge of my men?" Nick asked. They argued back and forth for a few minutes before a swordfight broke out between them.

While Hector and Nick fought Jack was taking escape suggestions from the other Jacks. Of course, seeing him talking to invisible people caused a lot of gawking.

"No that would never work!" Jack yelled to Jack number two. "Can't any of you come up with a single good idea?"

"Maybe we could if you'd stop yelling at people that aren't really there!" One spectator yelled.

Jack looked up and saw that a crowd was watching him. "Oh… um of course." He lifted a finger. "One moment please." Jack said and then ran off behind a sand mound with all of his invisible copies following.

"No! We cannot dig our way out of the lockers! Your ideas are getting worse mates." Jack told his crew from behind the mound. "Wait, repeat that last one again. That's crazy, just crazy enough to work."

"Are you talking to yourself?" Asked Stephanie who was sitting on top of the sand dune.

"In a certain way, yes, but no at the same time." He replied.

"Well that makes no sense. Tell me who you're talking to… please Jack." She half asked half demanded while sliding down the dune. "You know I won't quit bugging you until you tell me."

Jack studied her for a second. "OK. At least then I'll have someone to check ideas with."

Back with Stephanie Brown

"Everyone leave!" Ms. Brown yelled to her crew. "I need space to think. Come back in a few minutes, or when I call you."

She watched them leave and took a moment to bask in the feeling of power and control. "I've come so far, but I can't help but think I've forgotten something." She began pacing. "I know it's something important, I just don't know what."

Suddenly, she heard a scream from behind her. T was a very angry Bootstrap charging at her with his sword drawn.

"Oh, that's what I forgot." Stephanie Brown said as she drew her sword.

Jack's Locker

"I think it could maybe work Jack." Stephanie Kingston told him. "I mean even if it doesn't, it would still be worth a try. You should probably tell the others."

"I agree with you on that." He said walking over the dune. "Alright everyone, I have an idea!"

Nick and Barbossa stopped fighting at this announcement. "This should be good." Barbossa said and walked towards the gathering group of pirates.

"What do you mean by that?" Nick asked him following close behind.

"Well let's just say that Jack isn't exactly right in the head. He comes up with the weirdest ideas. We're in for a good laugh."

"Alright everyone, I know the way to escape the lockers. This idea comes from Calypso herself. I talked to her once when Barbossa had thrown her in the brig; and she mentioned locker hopping. She said it was the ability to enter or leave any and all lockers simply by the use of a magic artifact and jumping. So, I propose we all hold hands and jump."

Everyone started to laugh. "Told you we were in for a laugh Nick!" Barbossa said.

"Hey!" Stephanie yelled above the laughter. "Everyone stow it!" The laughter slowly died off. "How many ideas do we have so far? One. I'll admit it sounds incredibly stupid, bit it's the only idea we've got. We have nothing to loose if we try it."

"Aye, she's right." Nick said before yelling commands to his crew. "Alright everyone grab hold of each other's hands and form a circle! Hurry up, we don't have all day!"

People began scrambling around to do as he had ordered. IT only took a minute or two to get everyone holding hands with Nick at the top of the circle wit his talon.

"Alright everyone jumps at once on the count of three!" He yelled. "One…two…three!"

Stephanie Brown

Stephanie Brown easily sidestepped and blocked Bootstrap's sword. "You know, if you weren't so angry, this could have been a challenge." She yawned as she blocked another one of his slashes.

"You killed my son!" He yelled.

"Actually, I only sent him to the locker. I can't say I would be disappointed if he decided to kill himself though Oh, if you're actually going to try and kill me, can you hurry up. You are boring me." Stephanie couldn't resist letting a smirk come on her face as Bootstrap started letting loose every swear word he knew.

"You might want to quiet down, all your screaming has brought my men back."

One man quickly grabbed Bootstrap as others wrestled his sword away from him. When he was finally brought to his knees, Stephanie Brown had her sword hovering less than an inch away from his neck.

"Goodbye Bootstrap." She said and was about to kill him when a bright light suddenly flooded the area. When it faded, a group of men, about the same size as her group, had appeared before them.

"It worked." Jack said proudly. "My ideas always work."

"So, you've escaped the lockers." Stephanie Brown said. "Bravo. I must admit, I didn't thin that you could escape them. But, may I ask where Chang is?"

"He killed himself." Elizabeth said angrily. "He couldn't stand the torture and took his life."

"Well at least one of you got my message. I do wish a few more would have killed themselves though."

Elizabeth and Stephanie charged each other, quickly followed by both of the crews. The fight for the fountain had begun.
