"Barbossa?!" Gibbs asked. Jack stayed silent.

"Yes. Do ya have a problem with that?!" Barbossa spat.

"I thought we left you in the Locker when we saved Jack. Remember? The Kraken?" Gibbs questioned. Elizabeth slightly bowed her head at that memory. Still, no one knew what she had done to Jack, except for, of course, Jack, and Will, who is now dead.

"Well, luckily, I got out. Remember that Norrington fellow? He went after all of you. He got down in the Locker after you guys left. I told him that there was one way out, but I said I didn't know." Barbossa chuckled. "Of course I lied. I used his ship to get out of the Locker, and left him there."(A)

"How could you?!" Elizabeth suddenly questioned.

"Excuse me miss, but I had no choice. Norrington and Lord Beckett were working with Davy Jones. And then they were going to hunt all the free pirates of the seas. I couldn't let that happen! So, I left both of them down there." Gibbs looked at Jack. "Then Jones needed your ring, after Miss Swann stabbed his heart."

Everyone went silent. Dawn's light broke through the bared window. Barbossa glanced around the room.

"Where is young Turner?" he asked.

"He passed away a few days ago," Jack finally spoke. Barbossa was silent.

Then: "So what about Bootstrap? And your father, Grant, Jack?" Jack stared at him.

"Bootstrap stayed in the Locker after Will died. It was his choice. How do you know about my father?" Jack questioned. Barbossa grinned.

"We spent some time together in the Locker. I then let him come upon Norrington's ship. Then," Barbossa's face darkened, " we were attacked by some man named Silver Bones. He took your father, but I escaped. A week later, I was captured by Sao Feng. Now I'm here, with you failures."

"My father was in the Locker when we left?" Jack asked again.

"Aye."

"That means he was dead. Jack, do ye understand what Barbossa has done for ya? I'm afraid to say it Capt'n, but you owe him," Gibbs explained. Barbossa smiled until he saw Pintel and Ragetti on the other wall.

"What are you two still doing with Jack?" He asked them. "I thought that you two said, when you marooned me, once you got out of the Locker you would take the Pearl and come back for me."

Pintel shrugged and Ragetti stuttered, "W-w-well we thought about it, but I guess we wanted to stay with Capt'n Jack." Barbossa shot them a slight glare of anger.

"So, do you have a plan, mate?" Jack asked Barbossa.

"Of course I do," he answered. Then, surprisingly, he stood up. "I'm not shackled."

Elizabeth stared in shock. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a very small dagger. "Here, let me see your shackles, Jack," he said. Barbossa held out his hands, covered in cuts. He saw Jack staring at them. He chuckled. "Don't worry Jack. These are only here because I tried to pick a lock I couldn't see." Jack let Barbossa unshackle everybody, until he came to Elizabeth.

"I'll unshackle her mate," he ordered. Barbossa hesitated as he thought why Jack wanted to unshackle her. Finally, he handed Jack the dagger, and Jack carefully picked Elizabeth's lock free. She jumped up, and clung to him.

"Are you alright?" she questioned.

"Of course, luv," he answered.

"Good." She leaned in, and kissed him hard. She was so glad she was back in his arms. When they stopped, Barbossa couldn't help but stare. Jack suddenly felt awkward, and went to the door.

"Hey, look! They left the door unlocked!" he exclaimed.

Jack opened the door, but before he stepped out, Barbossa shouted, "Wait!" Jack stopped in his tracks.

Barbossa threw a rock out the door, and two sharp, long swords came down, and sliced the solid rock into thirds. Jack stared in amazement, then looked at Barbossa and smiled.

"Yer a diamond, mate." Barbossa shot Jack a sharp glance.

"Do ya not know who yer messin' with?! Kali Tahn is a most dangerous woman. She has powers; powers that you could not even think of. Take for example, if she wanted to, she could flick her wrist, and bring the Kraken back to life; not to mention control it. She can stop a man's heart with a blink of her eye. But she never does that."

"Why not?" asked Pintel.

"Because, she likes challenge. She doesn't take the easy way out. She likes a worthy opponent." Barbossa looked at Jack. "She wants to fight the best pirate so she can earn the recognition and glory of being the best pirate alive. Did Feng seem, in any way, interested in your tattoo, Jack?"

Jack looked at his wrist and remembered the smile of Captain Sao Feng when he saw his tattoo.

"Yes," Jack whispered.

"So, Kali wants Jack?" Gibbs questioned.

"No, she wants to fight him, and win," Barbossa replied.

"No!" Elizabeth exclaimed. She ran up to Jack. "You can't, Jack! What if she is more powerful? What if….she wins?" Worry filled Elizabeth's hazel eyes. Jack smiled slightly.

"Just hope the Locker is already remade," he told her.

"So, I've got a new enemy, aye?" Jack questioned.

"Aye," Gibbs answered. "A new enemy."

"And a new ally," Barbossa added in. Jack looked at him questionably. "I can't find Kali and Sao by myself, and leave you to rot in this cell, now can I?" Jack smiled.

"So, a new ally, and a new enemy," he said.

"It's a new journey. A new beginning," Elizabeth cut in.

"So, will anyone go find Kali and Feng with me, so we can save the seas, once again?" Jack asked.

"Aye," Elizabeth agreed.

"Aye," Barbossa agreed.

"Aye," answered Gibbs.

"Aye," Pintel and Ragetti agreed simultaneously.

"Alright then, let's go," added Jack.

The Pearl soon started to set sail. The wind flowed through the pitch black sails. Everything was prepared for the long journey Jack Sparrow had in front of him. The waves would carry them to distant waters. Asian waters. The wind will be their guide to their destination. They were heading for Singapore.
