Chapter 25:

*Ida's POV*

"Gentlemen!" I called out for the fighting duo. "Enough with the fighting," I speak, stopping them, in front of them. "Now both of you, please make me a promise to stop fighting for childish ways." Then I turn to smile to James, "Awww James I appreciate for your willingness to make sure that I am happy, but as of right now I would love it if you stop fighting for now please James."

"Of course my sweet little Ida," he smiles to me.

"Okay now let's talk about something else," Uncle Jack speaks up, "who was it that at the very moment you had a notorious pirate safely behind bars saw fit to free said pirate and take your dearly beloved all to hisself…..aye? So whose fault is it really you've ended up a rum pot deckhand what takes orders from pirates?" he asked James.

"Enough!" James exclaims, taking a swipe to Uncle Jack who somersaults off the roof and safely lands on the ground. "Unfortunately, Mr. Turner…..he's right!" Then turns to Will.

Uncle Jack finds his sword and sheathes it, "still rooting for you, nephew in law." He walks off with the key now around his neck, but doesn't watch where he is going. I cringed at him falling face first into an empty grave.

"Uncle Jack?" I asked, calling to him. "Are you alright?"

Will jumps off onto the wheel that usually used to power mills. James follows under the weight of their jump, making the wheel start to roll. I jump down to where Uncle Jack is and him out of the grave. The wheel catches him while I climb up to where James and Will are. Unfortunately, I am the one to be part of the fight who is trying to keep the wheel from going crazy and trying to stop the fight.

I noticed to see Jack finally got of the wheel and finally catches up to us. "Going down!" I said, sliding down into the inside of the wheel where Uncle Jack is.

Somehow, the fight continues as I join in making a water sword. If the fight wasn't going to stop anytime soon, I decided to join in the fighting. Mostly, it was James and I v.s. Jack v.s. Will.

I manage to break the string that the key was attached to and hoping to get keep it safe, but Uncle Jack steals it from. Will and James continues to roll the wheel with me. Thank the spirits that the wheel finally stops. Very dizzy of the ride, but somehow together with James we run towards the boat with the Letters from Uncle Jack's jacket

"Will," Elizabeth says, running over to Will lying half in half out of the boat from the dizziness.

"Leave him lie! Unless you plan on using him to hit something with," Uncle Jack says as the undead Crew close in on us. "Norrington, lay Ida on the floor."

*James Norrington's POV*

As if on cue, Ida falls to my side as I hold her steady.

"We're not coming out of this," Miss Swann says.

"Not with the chest," I said to them, carrying Ida in my arms bridal style, "into the boat." The chest is somehow in her tiny hands.

"You're mad."

"Don't wait for me," I run off with the crew following me.

I run for a while through the trees before finding a place to stop. Gently breaths are being heard from Ida as she awakens.

"J-James?" she asked softly, holding the chest a little tighter.

"Oh Ida," I smiled down to her. "Your father's heart will be safe and sound."

"James, why do I feel a dark energy?"

My eyes widen as I look down to the ground not knowing what to say.

"James?" she said, looking up to me. "What exactly are you doing with Daddy's heart?"

"Ida I-"

"Your bravery is wasted," a conch-head person speaks, appearing before us, "I shall pry the chest away from your cold...dead...hands….sea goddess."

"Ida, give it to him," I said to her.

She looks at me for a moment before throwing it to the pirate who runs off with the chest.

"Forgive me Ida, I love you so much."

And with that something hits her head and she disappears from my arms.

'Please forgive me Ida, I need to do this so we can be together forever,' I thought to myself.

*Back in Port Royal*

"The last of our ships has returned," Mercer informs.

"Is there any news on the chest?"

"No, but one of the ships did pick up a man, adrift at sea. He had these." he holds up the Letters of Marque and lays them down on the table as Beckett unfolds them.

"I took the liberty of filling in my name," I speak to them.

"If you intend to claim these," he beckons me, "then you must have something to trade. D'you have the compass?"

"Better," I shook my head. "The heart of Davy Jones." I give him the a bag where it thumps.

"As promise, you and Miss Ida Dalama-Swann will be together forever."

*Ida's POV*

My eyes open, awakening me from my intense slumber. Memories of my last encounter with James.

'J-James,' I thought to myself as a tear gently falls from my eye.

"Me daughter," mommy speaks, sitting next to me, "the young sailor is doing everything the spirits are telling him to do."

"Why are the spirits are telling him to do such things?"

"Never question the spirits," she says firmly, "they are having him do these things to make sure that your future path is will be made."

"Mommy I'm scared of the spirits's work."

"I know me daughter."

*Later*

Will keeps on stabbing his knife onto the wood and taking it out, making pieces of the table coming out of it.

Mommy and I bring out trays of drinks and snacks and offer it to Miss Elizabeth first. "Against the cold," Mommy speaks.

"And a sorrow," I add in.

She takes a cup, looking uncomfortable. Then Will is next.

"It's a shame," Mommy says to him, "I know you're that with the Pearl, you could've…."

"And free your father's soul."

"Doesn't matter now," Will says, "the Pearl's gone….along with its Captain." He hits the wood again with the knife.

"Aye," Mr. Gibbs says, "and already the world seems a bit less bright. He fooled us all, right to the end. But I guess that honest streak finally won out." Makes a toast. "To Jack Sparrow!"

"Never another like Captain Jack," Ragetti raises his cup.

"He was a gentleman of fortune, he was," Pintel raises his.

"He was a good man," she drinks with Will stares at her.

"If there was anything to be done to bring him back Elizabeth," Will speaks.

"Would you do it? Hmm?" I asked him.

"What would you? Hmm?" Mommy asked Miss Elizabeth. "What would you any of you be willing to do? Hmm? Will you sail to the ends of the earth and beyond to fetch back Jack and his precious Pearl?"

"Aye," said the crew members.

"All right, but if you're going to brave the weird and haunted shores at world's end….then you will need a captain who knows those waters along with Ida."

"So tell me, what's become of my ship?"

Looking up, I see Captain Barbossa as I smirk towards him.
