Barbossa sighed, with no idea what to do. "All hands on deck for a vote!" Within a few minutes, everyone was on deck, including the drowsy Delila. "Do we run or stay and fight?"

"I say we fight!" Pintel shouted, as Ragetti shouted, "I'd rather run."

Mr. Gibbs held out his sword at arm's length and dropped it on the deck. "If we fight, we risk being blown out of the water. If we run, we risk damage to the Captain's Cabin." He pointed out. "I say we surrender. The Phoenix will have to turn around for England."

"And they'll surely run into the Misty Lady!" Delila said, wide awake now. "Da will blast them outta the water!"

"I 'ope he get us out first." Ragetti mumbled.

An hour later...

The crew of the Phoenix was shocked to find that the pirates had surrendered so easily. The first people to board the Pearl were the Commodore, the Admiral, and Lord Beckett. The Admiral looked curiously at the pirates. 'Why did they surrender so quickly?' He wondered, carefully studying them. Suddenly, his eyes landed on Delila. 'She's beautiful.'

Lord Beckett walked over to Barbossa. "You! You're familiar with Jack-"

Jack the Monkey suddenly screeched in Beckett's face, before hopping onto Barbossa's shoulder. Barbossa smirked. "My apologizes." He said sarcastically. "My boy has yet to learn how to greet guests properly."

"No matter." Beckett said. "I'm only here for Jack Sparrow."

"Captain." Andy corrected. "Captain Jack Sparrow."

The Commodore walked over to Andy. "Andrew, you've joined these low lives?"

Andy smiled. "Yes I did, Commodore Johnson."

Barbossa then turned to the Commodore. "Tell me, how does it feel to have raised the daughter of a Pirate Lord and a son of the Keeper of the Pirate Code?"

Beckett looked at the Commodore. "We'll discuss this later." He said, before rolling his eyes. Where's the Admiral?"

"Sir!" The Admiral shouted. "Over here!"

A few minutes later...

Jack awoke to the sound of a bell, the bell tied to the door of the Captain's Cabin. He had fallen asleep in the chair next to the bed. By the time he stood up, the doors of the Sleeping Quarters flew open. Jack glanced at Alex, who was still sleeping, then smirked at the three officers. "Can I help you?"

Lord Beckett smiled, proud of himself. "Jack Sparrow-"

"After all these years and you still have trouble remembering that it's Captain Jack Sparrow." Jack said, rolling his eyes and causing the Admiral to smirk.

"Fine. Captain Jack Sparrow, you are under arrest-"

"I'm not going anywhere." Jack said, before gesturing over to Alex. "As you can see, I'm very busy doing something very unpiratey." He then thought for a moment. 'Is 'piratey' a word? Should be.'

"Either come with us without a fight or else we send your beloved Pearl back to the depths, along with-"

"Sir, we can't do that." The Admiral said, stepping between Jack and Lord Beckett. "It's obvious that the woman over there is depending on Jack. If we take him away, we'll end up killing an innocent woman as well."

"She's a pirate." The Commodore said. "Her parents are pirates, she is a pirate."

"Even if that's so." The Admiral said, drawing his sword. "I will not let you arrest this man, or his crew."

"Very well." Beckett said, turning around. "Captain Sparrow, I hope you enjoy your newest crew member."

As soon as Beckett and the Commodore were gone, the Admiral turned around, smirking. "Ironic, isn't it?"

"Isn't what?" Jack asked.

The Admiral pulled a gold pocket watch out of his pocket. "Remember?"

"Ah Fitzy." Jack said, placing the tip of his sword on the other man's throat. "Long time, no see."

Meanwhile, on the Phoenix...

Beckett turned to the Commodore. "Send the Pearl back to the depths."

"Sir?" Commodore Johnson said.

"That's an order." Beckett said.

Suddenly, the Flying Dutchman appeared in between the Phoenix and the Pearl.

On the Pearl...

Delila watched as single ripple went through the water from the Dutchman. "Mr. Gibbs, what's that?"

Mr. Gibbs thought for a moment, before running up to Barbossa, who was as confused by the ripple as Delila and Juliet. "Captain Barbossa! They've summoned the-"

They watched as the Phoenix was suddenly smashed into pieces by two large tentacles. Juliet's stomach growled as the smell of octopus filled the air. She turned to Barbossa. "I'm hungry."

In the Sleeping Quarters of the Captain's Cabin...

Jack and Fitzwilliam were startled when the door opened and a man they've never seen before entered. Jack recovered first. "Who are you?"

"Jack Sparrow, your debt is settled." The man said.

"My debt?"

"I raised your precious Pearl from the Locker-"

"Oh. Davy Jones." Jack said, before slowly shaking his head. "First Fitzy, now Fish Face. This is not my day." He then smiled. "But the debt's been settled."

"I'll take Beckett as payment."

"What happened to 'one soul is not equal to another' and all that?" Jack asked, mimicking Davy Jones when he quoted him.

"Beckett's worth more than yours." Jones said. "But now I owe your wife a great debt." He then kneeled down to Alex and drew his sword, holding the hilt over his chest. Over where his heart would've been. "I pledge my allegiance to you, All Powerful Goddess."

"Your wife?" Fitzwilliam said to Jack, completely stunned. Too stunned to listen to Jones. "You're married? That's your wife?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Jack asked, very offended.

"How did you get a woman that young to marry you?"

"What did you think she was?"

"Your daughter. You're old enough."

"Am not."

"How old is she?"

"Twenty-one."

"And you are?"

"Forty-seven." Jack said, doing the math in his head. "I guess I am old enough."

"Anyways. Jack, I would like to join your crew." Fitzwilliam said.

Jack thought for a moment. "I do have one job you can do."

Juliet is still very cat-like...getting hungry when she sees the kraken...

I was watching "The Man in the Iron Mask" the other day. It's a great movie. When I got to the part when the younger soldiers are pledging their allegiance to the musketeers, I thought it would be very interesting for Davy Jones to do. So I actually added that part in the other day...
