Chapter 26
EEEEEJJJJJ
Will, Emily, and Janice swung from the Pearl to the Dutchman. All eyes fell upon the chest they saw on the deck.
"Too easy!" Emily said, grabbing onto it.
"Where's the key?" Janice asked, "We need the key!" The three ran further into the fray, dodging cannon blasts and other fights, and met Maccus, the shark headed man. With Will leading them, he was the first he spotted, and the first he attacked.
"Turner!" He yelled, charging at him with his hatchet. Emily tossed him the chest. He grabbed it and used it to block the attack. suddenly, from the Pearl, came a screeching, burning ball of fur that latched on to Maccus' face. Jack clawed and screeched at him enough to make him fall to the lower deck and out of their way.
"Thank you Jack." The three said in unison. They continued forward into the battle.
MMMMMJJJJJEEEEE
From her hiding spot, Megan saw her friends. She ran forward and ran her sword through a man who was about to attack them, before wincing and holding her side. Will went ahead of them.
"Hey guys, what's up." she said casually.
"You're not forgiven!" Emily yelled
"... Understood." Megan nodded. "Uh oh." She looked beyond her friends. They turned around and saw Davy fall to the deck, landing on his feet. He took the sword one of Beckett's men held and stabbed him with it, before taking it for his own.
"Hey... Isn't that Norrington's sword from Curse of the Black Pearl?" Janice asked
"Yep, let's go." Megan said. They hurried to find Will. He was suddenly ambushed and attacked by one of Jones' men. It was Bootstrap. And yet he fought Will as if he was his enemy. With the chest thrown aside, behind the fight.
"He's coming." Janice said, seeing Davy walk their way. They hurried through the scene to reach the chest. Megan slid on her knees and held it close.
"Where's Jack?" Emily asked
"Look up!" Megan said. The two girls did and saw Jack swinging around in the air on a rope. One of Jones' men was swinging to him. Jack put his feet out and kicked the man off his rope, swinging in the opposite direction now.
"That's my Jack!" Janice cheered. However, Emily couldn't stop staring at the fight of the Turner's. After having seen them be a family once, seeing them fighting like this, it was too much. Her hands gripped her sword tightly, making her knuckles white.
"Don't do it." Megan warned her
"You're not my boss." Emily said, running forward. She launched herself onto Bootstrap's back, wrapping her arms and legs around him. He quickly hit the railing multiple times during his fight with Will to get her off. By the fifth time, she let go and crumpled to the ground, holding on to her abdomen.
"Emily!" Megan said, dropping the chest to help her friend sit up.
"Ems!" Janice said, hurrying to her friend to do the same. Emily sat with her legs crossed, leaning on the wood, seething with pain. She tried to stand, but Megan and Janice held her down.
"Stop doing this! He's your son!" she screamed. She was pulled back down. The force made her pain worse.
"Where does it hurt?" Megan asked
"I think it's my ribs. I don't know. It hurts!" Emily said
"Aw man." Janice said, running a hand through her hair, unsure of how to help her friends.
"It's me! It's Will, your son!" Will said. Bootstrap grabbed onto his head and continued their fight. It was moved away from them, leaving the three girls exposed. Janice looked up at Jack. Two of Jones' men were swinging to him from opposite sides. Jack let go of the rope to drop a couple feet. Making the other swingers accidentally wrap around his rope and crash, falling off and into the water. She smiled briefly, then noticed the fearful expressions on her friend's faces.
She turned around to see Davy storming to them, sword drawn and hungry for blood. Being the only uninjured one, Janice stood up in front of her friends and held her sword out to block any attack that may come. He stopped and chuckled at the sight before him.
"Is this all that stands in my way?" he asks
"Uh... uh Aye!" Janice said, her hands shaking.
"Aye." Megan said, pushing herself up, sword drawn. Emily moved the chest behind her and grabbed on to the railing to pull herself up. As soon as she was standing, through her pain, she pulled out her swords.
"Hell yeah." she growled
"Hm. I may actually enjoy this." He said, taking a few steps forward. From above, Jack landed in front of them, closing the gap between the girls and Jones. He pulled out the remains of his sword, which looked more like a dagger than any sword.
"Oh, I feel really safe now." Emily said
"Time to run." Jack said. Megan ducked back to grab the chest as Jack and the girls hurried away from Davy, who was following them. The stopped behind the Kraken wheel, Jones stopping on the other side of it.
"Whatcha gonna do now, huh?" Janice asked as each of them tried to fake the other side out in their direction, going back and forth a few times. Davy stood up and looked at the wheel before walking through it.
"That's bad." Megan said
"That's gross." Emily said, who was leaning on Janice for support.
"That's cooool!" Janice said. Jack spun the wheel around, making Davy spin with it. It was pretty funny to watch. All four of them smiled at the sight. Davy leaned forward and roared, his tentacles shaking madly. The four all screamed and ran away. With the girls still running, Jack continued playing his cat and mouse game with Jones. Megan stopped running though.
"Guys we need to talk." She said. Janice Stopped and with Emily, she turned around. She quickly pulled out her pistol and shot it . A man who was coming up to Megan from behind fell to the deck, dead.
"Thank you." Megan said, before shaking her head to get her bearings, "I know I can't fix what I did in the past, and I'm really sorry for betraying you all. But please. Please, I'm begging you. I'm sorry guys, I'm so sorry." Emily looked away.
"Yeah, you better be." She said, "After letting Janice save your butt." A small smile played on Emily's lips.
JJJJJEEEEEMMMMM
They looked back at Jack fighting Davy. Jack had grabbed onto one of the wheel spokes and was using it to fight. Davy tore it out of his hands before backhanding him with his claw, making him fall back to the ground some distance away.
"Jack!" Janice cried out. She let go of Emily so she would lead on the railing before hurrying to him. Davy was walking to him to finish the job. Janice got in front of him, with Elizabeth swinging over to stand beside her.
"Good timing." Janice commented
"All right, then! You'll see no mercy from me!" Davy yelled at the girls.
"That's why I brought this!" Elizabeth said, drawing her own sword. The two girls began fighting with Davy Jones, but after getting knocked out of the fight twice, Janice left well enough alone and knelt by Jack.
"Jack, can you hear me?" she asked. His eyes were open, looking forward on the deck.
"The key's squirming away." he said
"What?" Janice asked, looking in the direction he was staring at. Then she spotted Davy's tentacle that still had the key. Like a caterpillar, it was squirming away.
EEEEEMMMMM
Emily, sliding along the railing, made her way to where Will and Bootstrap were fighting. Seeing as there was no stopping her, Megan watched, although she kept her eyes on all of the three groups. Will pinned Bootstrap to the railing, his knife drawn. The sight shocked Emily.
"He's your dad!" Emily said. Will looked back at Elizabeth fighting Jones. He kicked her down to the deck, knocking her out.
"I'm not going to kill you. I made you a promise." Will said, stabbing his knife into the railing. Davy was about to make his finishing blow on Elizabeth before Will ran his sword through him from the back. The end of the blade protruding from his middle area. Megan winced, putting a hand to her chest. She carefully made her way to Elizabeth.
"Mister, did you forget? I'm a heartless wretch." Davy said, bending the tip of the sword back. He chuckled slightly, before Will tried pulling his sword back. He waved his arms around, trying to hit him, before he managed to kick Will down with his crab leg. Megan tapped on Elizabeth's face to bring her back. As soon as she was conscious, Elizabeth looked worriedly at Will, as he looked at her. Davy glanced at the two.
"Ahhh, love." he said, "A dreadful bond. And yet so easily severed. Tell me," he stood over Will, "William Turner, do you fear death?"
"Do you?" came Jack's question
MMMMMEEEEEJJJJJ
Davy looked back at Captain Jack Sparrow. His chest was opened and emptied. Jack had his heart in his hand, his dagger of a sword hovering over it. Janice had her pistols aimed at it, as Emily had her swords aimed too.
"Touch either one of them, and I SWEAR!" Emily yelled
"We're ready for whatever has to be done." Janice said
"That we are. But it's heady tonic, holding life and death in the palm of one's hand." Jack said
"You're a cruel man, Jack Sparrow." Davy said
"Words hurt, you know." Janice said with a smirk.
"Cruel is a matter of perspective." Jack said
"Is it, now?" Davy asked. Everything happened in slow motion. As he spun around, sword raised, a voice screamed.
"NO!" She screamed. Two bodies were run through with the sword. Davy twisted it in to pin them both to the Dutchman's wood. All eyes were glued to the scene with shocked apprehension of what will happen next. While Will was in pain, and showing every excruciating moment of it, Megan kept her face serious. She stood up, going through the sword.
"I was hoping you wouldn't do that." she said, shaking her head. Davy chuckled.
"And what will be done then?" he asked. Elizabeth crawled to Will, her hands on his face.
"Will! Will! Look at me! Stay with me! You're all right!" she said, trying to convince herself the lies she told would be made true. Jack looked at Davy's heart and was going to stab it, but couldn't. Emily shook her head, dropping her swords to be by Will's side.
"You are a monster." Janice said, her pistols aimed at Davy himself. Bootstrap picked up the knife, memories coming back to him, realization kicking in.
"William! My son!" he said, launching himself to grab onto Davy's back to fight him. Jack looked from Will to Davy, then to the heart. Janice put a hand on his shoulder.
"It's the right thing." she said. Backing away from them, Megan grabbed onto the railing with one hand, her heart with the other. She was partially solid for one moment before she was ghostly. Davy pinned Bootstrap.
"You will not forestall my judgment!" he yelled, about to deliver his final blow. There was an echo of one sound. Something was stabbed. Davy's breathing became shallow. He turned and saw why. His heart was stabbed. The dagger sword was Jacks, but Will's hand was wrapped around it. Davy stood still for a moment looking to the sky.
"Calypso!" he whispered, falling overboard. The tears really began to fall from Megan, before she fell to the deck.
HHHHHCCCCC
Heather lowered her spyglass to rub at the tears in her eyes.
"Oh God." she said
"Make your move Barbossa!" Cheyenne yelled down.
"She's takin' us down! Make quick, or it's the locker for us all!" Barbossa yelled. They had a cannon aimed up at the part where the Pearl and the Dutchman met. Realizing what this meant, Cheyenne grabbed Heather and helped pull her down to the deck.
EEEEEJJJJJMMMMM
Janice hurried to her fallen friend. Her eyes were closed and there was a blotch on her shirt over her heart. She was still breathing though. Emily moved to stand over her.
"Megan, wake up." Janice said, gently nudging her.
"I feel cold." Megan said, blinking her eyes open.
"We're going to get you back to the Pearl. Come on." Emily said. She tried to help Megan up, but she pushed her friend's hands away.
"I'll be fine here. Go." she said
"No! No! No! No!" Elizabeth screamed, crying over Will's body.
"How do we get off?" Janice asked
"Trust Jack." Megan replied. Davy's crew began to appear, literally coming out of the woodwork, swarming around them, around Will. One of them held the open chest, Bootstrap held his knife.
"Part of the crew, part of the ship..." they chanted. Jack looked around and tied off parts of wood and sail together.
"Girls, come on!" he said
"Go!" Megan yelled, "Just leave me!"
"No!" Emily yelled
"I'll be fine, trust me!" Megan said with a smile, "Now GO!"
"Don't leave me! I won't leave you!" Elizabeth screamed before Jack pulled her off of Will. The girls all grabbed onto him, staring at their fallen friend. She smiled at them. She looked over at Will, reached her hand over to him.
"Hold on!" Jack yelled, hanging onto part of the sail, aiming his pistol at the wood. They were lifted up into the air, as if they were hanging onto a parachute. They floated above the Dutchman and watched as it sank into the maelstrom. The only one who did not have tears in their eyes was the good Captain Jack Sparrow.
