Chapter 19: Return to Port Royal

A/U: The revisits may be shorter than an actual chapter, so apologies if some of these chapters turn out short.

I Do Not Own Digimon or Kingdom Hearts

"Phew. After that battle with Hades, I need the rest." Mimi said.

"Can't rest just yet. We still got some worlds to go to." Kari said.

"Geez. Usually you'd be agreeing with a break, Kari." Tai said.

"I'm still not a true Princess of Heart yet. I still gotta prove myself, and helping all of the worlds will help myself. I mean, I'll help the worlds, even if I don't have to prove myself as a Princess of Heart."

"Anyway, what world is next?"

"Port Royal." Sora said.

"Hopefully Jack's not being schemeful." Kari said. They then blasted off to the world.


Isla De Muerta: Treasure Hold

*HESITATION*

An organization member walked up to the cursed chest in the middle of the hold, looking like he has an idea.

"Xion should be headed for this world. She'll be in the middle of the game."

*MUSIC ENDS*


Rampart

The group heard some sounds from the port of the town.

"That's coming from the port." Kari said.

"Let's check it out." Sora said. They headed down.

Harbor

When they got there, they saw Jack was being attacked by cursed pirates!

"Jack!" Kari exclaimed

"Er, Carl. Assistance?" Jack said.

"Carl!? It's Kari."

"Will ye leave a fellow mate to perish?"

"Aye aye..."

*HE'S A PIRATE(II.5)*

The group went to Jack's side, and got ready to fight. They followed the same procedure. They lead the pirates under the moonlight, and were attacking them.

"Could you take a few steps to your left?" Mimi said. A pirate was under the shadow of a cloud. Fortunately, clouds move, and they were under moonlight again. "Never mind." She struck him with Blizzara. Kari took care of one that was going to attack her from behind, in Wisdom Form.

"Arg! I have great shooting skills!" They looked at Kari awkwardly, with the bad pirate language. "Oh come on. That sounded cool." She dodges some shots from the rifles, and shot back.

"You should just stick to that, no offense." Gatomon said, pounding on a pirate's head. She destroyed him, with some attacks.

"Aye..." Kari continued to attack more pirates. T.K. was taking care of some, with Tai, and Patamon.

"Boom Bubble! Pop!" He shot a pirate with a boom bubble, while Tai was fencing with the pirate. He managed to strike him, and finish him off.

"Now I'm the king of fencing!" One other pirate was about to hit him, though Jack took care of him.

"Ye should look where you're are." Tai frowned. Matt chuckled as he passed by, chasing one that was on fire. As soon as he finished that one off, Kari finished the last three off with magic.

*MUSIC ENDS*

"Phew. Those pirates were cursed." Kari said. "I thought the curse was gone when we took care of Barbossa, with the Aztec gold."

"Some scallywag must have gotten greedy." Jack said. They looked at him. "Oh, I see. You don't trust me, do you? Likely a wise choice. I AM a pirate mates."

"Jack! Kari!" Elizabeth ran up to them.

"Elizabeth." Kari said.

'Some sticky business is afoot, I fear.' Jack thought. He turned.

"Wait Jack! I need your help!" Elizabeth exclaimed. "The cursed pirates has returned. Will went out to find out why...So he went to Isla De Muerta to check on the Aztec treasure. I fear something's happened. You have to take me to him."

"Aye, there it is. If you'll be wanting him rescued, best do it alone, lass."

"Alone? Really Jack? Sail to the island and take on the cursed pirates?"

"Well, the little lass could prove that so."

"Little Lass?" Kari said. She shook her head. "Uh, are you sure he's in trouble?"

"No, not certain, but he is gone for too long. I wanted to go with him, but he insisted on me to wait here. I can't just sit and wait! I've got to know if he's all right."

"Lucky man..." Jack mumbled.

"Please, Jack. Take me to him!"

"Hold on a moment. I see no profit in it for me."

"I shall reward you. Of course...you do owe Will. He has saved your life before."

"Right. Shall we?"

"Okay." Agumon said. So they boarded the Black Pearl, and they were going back to Isla De Muerta.

"Why am I going back to Isla De Muerta...?" Jack said to himself.


In the middle of the sea

They were still keeping a lookout for any signs of Will.

"See anything?" Gatomon said.

"Nope." Patamon said.

"Argh. This be a confusing situation." Tai said.

"Oh, so I can't do bad pirate talk, but you can?" Kari said.

"Knock it off, sis." Goofy was looking out watch, when he saw something.

"Interceptor off the starboard bow!" Goofy shouted. Sure enough, the Interceptor was a few hundred yards away. They saw Will, knocked out on the edge of the ship.

"Will!" Elizabeth exclaimed. Jack was already grieving over him, giving him a moment of silence. "Stop that, Jack. We've got to rescue him!"

"He's not dead...Uh...At least I think." Tai said.


The Black Pearl: Captain's Stateroom

"Will, wake up." Elizabeth was trying to wake Will up. Soon enough, Will was gasping, and groaning.

"Elizabeth..."

"Will, what happened?"

*HESITATION*

"The medallions, and...the stone chest. Someone's taken them...Next thing I knew, we were attacked. But I couldn't see who it was. His face was shrouded...in a black hood." Instantly, Kari stepped forward.

"The Organization!"

"We found a way out of the cave, but the villain sent a horde of terrible creatures after us. I've never seen their likes before...I think I'm the only one who made it back to the ship..."

"Will."

"Elizabeth...I feel, rather..." Will fell unconscious again.

"Our turn, guys." Sora said.

"You'd best go prepared. You have no idea what could be out there."

"Pardon me, lads and lass." Jack started. "But your captain will not endure anymore monsters today. Thank ye. We will be returning home then."

"Just like that?"

"Just like that!" Jack then was headed out.

"But Jack. We need to find where that guy is." Kari said.

"As I said, your captain will not endure monsters anymore." He then opened the doors.

"Well, now what are we supposed to do?" Tai said.

"We could take The Interceptor." Biyomon said.

"Don't remember invitin' you." Jack said, outside.

"What's going on now?" Sor said. They headed on outside.


The Black Pearl

When they got outside, they saw the Organization member, with the stone chest full of medallions.

"It was the Organization!" Gabumon exclaimed.

"We'll handle this!" Kari exclaimed.

"The darkness in men's hearts, drawn to these cursed medallions; and this heartless, a veritable maelstrom of avarice." A giant heartless appeared behind him. "I wonder, are they worthy of serving Organization XIII?"

*SINISTER SHADOWS(II.5)*

"And you want an answer now?" Jack said.

"Precisely!" He disappeared in the Corridor of Darkness.

"Okay. First, we'll take care of this heartless!" Kari exclaimed. They charged forward, and tried attacking, but the Grim Reaper circled around them, and then hit them with it's anchor like weapon.

"Okay, he's a bit quick on his feet with that anchor." T.K. said. He then dodged another attack, and struck back. The heartless then span it's weapon around, hitting everyone, and teleported elsewhere on the ship. They were all being careful, and not touch the medallions in the middle of the ship, because of fear of receiving the curse.

"Beg your pardon?" Jack said. Tai and Matt tried to charge forward, and land some combo moves, however, the heartless timed an attack perfectly, and knocked Tai and Matt back.

"How is he timing these attacks good?" Matt said. Kari slide dashed, and knocked the heartless up a bit, and started another aerial combo.

"HIYAH!" Kari then was dashing everywhere around the heartless, and performing long combos.

"Wow. Kari really must have gotten stronger with that Keyblade." Tai said.

"I always seem to do." Sora said.

"THUNDER!" Kari then finished it all of with casting Thundara multiple times.

*MUSIC ENDS*

The Grim Reaper then fell overboard, into the waters.

"Oh boy!" Donald exclaimed.

"Not over yet." Kari said. The Organization member took off his hood, to show his blonde hair. "Lemme guess...Luxord?" Luxord just scoffed.

"Throw him overboard!" Jack exclaimed.

"Aye Aye!" Tai exclaimed.

"Parley!" Luxord exclaimed.

"'Scuse me?" Jack said.

"Gesundheit?" Mimi said.

"It's a bit of a pirates code. Anyone who invokes Parley must not be harmed 'til negotiations are complete."

"Don't negotiate!" Tai exclaimed.

"True, but as we're honorable pirates, we should stick to the code."

"I don't even think he's even honorable at all!" Sor exclaimed.

"Alright you. Out with it."

"I surrender the chest with my humblest apologies." Luxord said.

"Rather accommodating of you, mate. And for that you want...?"

"Just a few souvenirs...for the memories."

"Huh?" Luxord took out 4 medallion, and nobodies came up, and took them.

"Oh no! We can't stop the curse unless we got all the medallions!" Goofy exclaimed.

"Our friend's about to learn what it means to cross a pirate." Jack said.

"Oh?" Luxord was sure about something.

*APPREHENSION*

The Grim Reaper came out of the waters, looking different, as if it was boney.

"Oh boy. Let's get ready for round two!" Gomamon exclaimed. Kari then casted Thundara on the heartless, but no damage.

"Huh!? It didn't hurt him?"

"Watch out!" Tentomon exclaimed. The Grim Reaper made a wind, and blew everyone onto The Interceptor. Kari was about to jump onto The Black Pearl again, however, Luxord was at the cannons, with nobodies manning them. Everyone gasped.

"FIRE!" The cannons were firing. Will and Elizabeth ran outside to hear the commotion. They saw The Interceptor exploding into pieces, with everyone on it. Luxord was chuckling as the Black Pearl was taking off.

*MUSIC ENDS*


Ship Graveyard: The Interceptor's Hold

Everyone was lucky to be alive. T.K. was the first to wake up.

"Oh, what happened?" He notices Kari was holding onto him, or rather hugging. Probably last second she reacted, and grabbed onto T.K. for comfort. Though she too was unconscious. T.K. was having a tough time getting out of her tight grip. He then notices where they are. There were remains of The Interceptor, everywhere. The picture frames, the supplies that were packed in, they were there. In front of him was the sight of several ships that were destroyed. It was their remains. "Kari. Wake up. Come on." Kari then was moaning, as she was being shaken. She opened her eyes to see T.K. up close.

"T.K.?" She then notices she was holding on to him. "Oh! Uh...Sorry. I got scared, and..."

"Hey. It's okay." Kari then let go of him, and they sat up. Everyone was starting to wake up. Kari saw Jack under the moon light, and was cursed again.

"Huh? Hey! You stole a medallion again!?"

"Were I only that fortunate..." Jack said.

"Fortunate?" Gatomon said, rubbing her head.

"So, uh, how come you're all skeleton-y?" Goofy said.

"Perhaps I got a touch o' something from that monster what attacked us. Yet why does skin rest on you all?"

"Cause we're not greedy!" Donald exclaimed. They had their doubts though. "What are you looking at!?"

"That still doesn't solve this mystery." Palmon said. Jack walked under shade, to have skin on him again.

"Gawrsh, maybe the reason we're all okay is because we're not from this world." Goofy said.

"I guess this world has different laws." Tai said.

"Yeah..." Kari said. "We're always just passing through..." Then she was getting homesick. "Wonder when we'll see home again..." They looked at each other.

"Kari..."

"Don't worry." T.K. said. "We'll find ourself a way home."

"...Hah! Just kidding you!"

"Eh...Yep. You have Sora's humor." Donald said.

"Sorta. Lucky we didn't get cursed, huh?"

"Quit yammerin' mates!" Jack exclaimed. "We've got to find ourselves a ship that'll float."

"This is a graveyard of ships! How can we find one that'll be able to take us home?" Joe said.

"Let's just hope we can find one working one." T.K. said.


Ship Graveyard: Seadrift Keep

They walked through the the Ship graveyard, going over every obstacle in every way. Soon, they found themselves at another ship wreck.

"Nope. This won't work either." Izzy said.

"Well, no duh, captain obvious." Matt said.

"Hey! Look!" Agumon exclaimed.

*TENSION RISING(II.5)*

One of Luxord's nobodies was there, holding onto a medallion.

"One of Luxord's Gamblers!" Kari exclaimed.

"That what they're called?" Gatomon said.

"A medallion! Get it!" Jack exclaimed. They charged forward, and then was attacking the nobody.

"C'mon! It's just one nobody! How hard can this one be?" Tai said.

"Don't jinx it, Tai!" Matt exclaimed.

"Uh, actually, nobodies usually do better in a group. So, yeah, this one's easy." Sora said. Sure enough, they finished the nobody in about 20 seconds.

*MUSIC ENDS*

Jack then retrieved the medallion.

"Three more to go."

"How do you know?" Mimi said.

"A pirate must have a keen eye. Else ye won't be sailing free for long. Savvy?"

"Huh? Hey! What's that?" Sor said. They saw a ship coming towards them.

"Is that the Black Pearl?" Tentomon said.

"Ahoy mateys!" Elizabeth was waving to them.

"Ridiculous imitation, yet I'm flattered." Jack said.


The Black Pearl

They all reboarded the Black Pearl. Will and Elizabeth saw what happened to Jack.

"Jack! What happened!? Oh, this is horrible!" Elizabeth exclaimed.

"Ah, but who's to blame for it, eh?"

"Well, certainly wasn't Elizabeth." Will said.

"It's Organization XIII." Kari said. "They're the ones behind all this after all."

"Wonder where they went." Tentomon said.

"The hooded man took the pirates and his creatures with him into some strange hole." Will said. "We saw them leave from inside the captain's stateroom."

"Didn't occur to you to fight them, mate?" Jack said.

"I'm no fool. I knew I was no match for them."

"That I believe."

"Sora, Kari, I think we'll need your help."

"Got it." They replied.

"First, let's find the medallions. Otherwise the curse can't be broken, and the creatures will remain invincible."

"Let's go back to the Ship Graveyard. We might find something." Izzy said.


Ship Graveyard: Seadrift Keep

They then were searching for nobodies. They split up into two groups. While the first group was searching, Gatomon's ears twitched.

"I hear something."

"Who?" Tai said. Gatomon then hanged from a board, and saw a Gambler under there.

*HE'S A PIRATE(II.5)*

"Aha! A nobody! He's got a medallion!" Kari and the others went down there.

"Quick! Get him before he escapes!" Agumon exclaimed. They were chasing after it, all over the place. As it was going to try to escape, Kari jumped in front of it.

"No you don't." She then slashed it away, and Gatomon jumped on top of it, and destroyed it.

*MUSIC ENDS*

"Two more to go." Kari said, as she picked up the medallion.

"Hopefully Sora and the others find another medallion." T.K. said.

Ship Graveyard: Seadrift Row

The second group then found themselves a bunch of cursed pirates to dead with.

*HE'S A PIRATE(II.5)*

"Ugh! These pirates are getting on my nerves!" Mimi exclaimed.

"Hey! Look! Another Nobody!" Palmon exclaimed. Another Gambler was there.

"Can you guys get out of the way?" Joe said, dodging shots from rifles. "WHOA! We're trying to get to that nobody!"

"I think they'd appreciate if we joined the undead!" Gomamon exclaimed. They managed to get them under the moonlight, and started to do damage on them. Sora chased the nobody around the place. Sor casted thunder on the pirates. The nobody then crashed onto Joe, unexpectedly.

"Can you watch where you're going!?" Joe exclaimed, striking the nobody.

"Marching Fishes!" Gomamon then shot fishes at the nobody, and it got destroyed.

*MUSIC ENDS*

"Got it!" Sora got the medallion.

"Now let's get out of here, before they put holes in us!" Mimi exclaimed. They all then ran out of there, back to the Black Pearl.


The Black Pearl

"So, that's three. What are we missing?" T.K. said.

"Maybe back at Isla De Muerta." Izzy said.

"Might be." Sora said. They then set sail for the island again.


Isla De Muerta: Cave Mouth

They then walked back over there, to find another Gambler.

"You know, the smell of treasure is all I smell right now." Gatomon said.

"Hey, you think the nobody is in there?" Donald said.

"No. I don't think they would go there, Donald." Kari said.

"Let's go check, just to be sure."

"No." Everyone said. Then, the nobody was in behind them all.

"Huh? Hey! There it is!" Patamon exclaimed.

"Huh?" The nobody was trying to get away.

*HE'S A PIRATE(II.5)*

"Hey! Come back here!" Sora exclaimed. They then was chasing after it. The nobody tried to hit them with card tricks.

"Yow! He must be great with his cards!" Tai exclaimed.

"Don't worry. I got this." Kari said. She then was able to slide dash far enough to get in front of the Gambler, and knock it into the air, and T.K. hit it with Thundara.

"Boom Bubble! Pop!" Patamon then finished it off, and the medallion fell in Kari's hands.

*MUSIC ENDS*

"That four. We got them all!"

"But where's the chest?" Jack said.

"I wouldn't think they would take it back to the treasure chamber." Izzy said.

"Maybe Will and Elizabeth might have a clue?" Tai said.


The Black Pearl

They then headed off into the seas again.

"So we got the four missing medallions, but the stone chest is missing." Will said. "The hooded man must have it. If we find him, we'll find the chest."

"Prob'ly in Port Royal." Sora said.

"Why's that?" Elizabeth said.

"Organization XIII is after people's hearts, so they're gonna go where there's lots of people, to probably make them into nobodies."

"They'll hurt the townsfolk?" Will said.

"No, they're bringin' 'em flowers, mate." Jack said. "I don't know who these Organizers are, but I will say they're makin' we pirates look like proper gents."

"Well Jack...Then, we have to help."

"Then let go, and haul to run free!" Jack took the wheel, and they set off course to Port Royal.


Harbor

The group ran on the deck to see the cursed Grim Reaper is waiting for them.

"Go, he's for me." Jack said. He then lead the heartless on his tail.

"Now to break that curse." Kari said. She got the medallions, and placed them in the chest. The Heartless turned to normal.

"Alright! The curse is broken!" Tai exclaimed. Jack was still having a curse form though.

"Then what's this?"

"Aw, I understand." Goofy said. "Jack musta been cursed by that monster, not from takin' the gold."

"Oh, I have no worries then."

"It's okay, Jack. We'll beat this monster." Kari said.

*THE CORRUPTED(II.5)*

The Grim Reaper then charged forward at them, and they dodged its attack, but it wasn't aiming at them. It was going for the medallions. It striked the medallions, and a bunch of them fell out.

"Oh no! It's cursed again!"

"Get the gold!" Jack exclaimed.

"The monster can be affected by magic, right?" Tentomon said.

"I think some of our attacks are considered magic." Agumon said. "Pepper Breath!" He managed to get the heartless on fire, and it was dropping medallions.

"Get them!" Sor exclaimed. Then they were grabbing as many medallions as they could carry, and placing it in the chest, while casting magic, to get the heartless to drop medallions.

"Why do we got to collect every single medallion!?" Gomamon exclaimed, throwing some in the chest. All of them went to the chest, and returned every single medallion. The heartless was free from the curse.

"The monster's not under the curse anymore!" Biyomon exclaimed.

"Alright! Now attack!" Tai exclaimed. It was the same thing as before. They got attacked away, when the heartless swung it's anchor weapon. Kari and T.K. was able to avoid the attacks, and strike back. Gatomon and Patamon then attacked too, and the heartless was blown back. Unfortunately, it stole some medallions again, and it was cursed again.

"Come on. Give us a break." Matt said. It then created a whirlwind around them, and with floating skulls around it. Everyone got hit. Kari was looking blue again.

"HEAL!" Sora casted Curaga on them, and were back in the fight. The Grim Reaper then slashed, and the skulls were launched at them, damaging them.

"He's really tough when he's cursed!" Sor exclaimed.

"Just continue using magic on him!" Izzy exclaimed. The Grim Reaper then sent out the three skulls to orbit it, while it was sucking more medallions.

"It's stealing more medallions!" Tentomon exclaimed.

"Not for long!" Kari exclaimed. She dodged the skulls, while everyone else was trying to help her, by apparently getting hit themselves. Or they're barely dodging them. Either way, Kari performed Hinder, which she grabbed the monster's spear, and stopped the gathering. She then used it to hit the heartless away. Then, she grabbed the three demonic skulls, with the anchor weapon, and threw the weapon at the Grim Reaper, and it dropped even more medallions. "GATHER!" She then used a new magic skill, Magnet. She was able to collect all medallions on the ground, and place them back in the chest. Once again, the heartless was not in the curse.

"Attack! Now!" Donald exclaimed. He casted Thundaga, and the heartless was stunned. Kari, Tai, T.K., and Matt then combined Fira attacks, and the heartless took great damage.

"Poison Ivy!" Palmon then kept on whipping the Grim Reaper. Unfortunately, it wrapped her vines on its weapon, and threw her away.

"Palmon!" Mimi exclaimed.

"Okay, that's it." Biyomon said. "Spiral Twister!" She shot the attack at the monster.

"Keep attacking him! I think he's almost down!" Izzy exclaimed. Then the monster teleported to the chest, and start taking medallions again. "Or, not..." The Grim Reaper took every last medallion in the chest.

"He Took Them All!" Tai yelled. The medallions was making the monster even more powerful. Now the three skulls grew giant, and was creating shockwaves around the place.

"AHH! RUN!" Sor exclaimed. They were trying to avoid the shockwaves, and the stomps, but it was no use. Kari tripped from the shockwave, and the skull stomped on her.

"OOW!" Kari was really at Critical health. Then, for one last trick, the giant skulls then hit everyone, in a giant shockwave. They were all thrown back, including Kari. "YAAAH!"

"Kari!" T.K. exclaimed. He then hit the heartless away, and went to Kari. "Kari! Are you okay!?"

"Oh no! Is she okay!?" Gatomon exclaimed, going to them.

"Kari's knocked out!"

"Get her out of here!" Sora exclaimed. "We'll deal with this!"

"Okay. Come on, Gatomon! We-" Then, the charm that King Mickey gave Kari started to shine. "Huh? What's...?"

"Don't give up!" Out of a flash from the charm, Mickey came out of the charm.

"Your Majesty!?" They exclaimed.

"B-But...How!?" Gatomon exclaimed.

"That's the special part about the charm I gave Kari." Mickey said. "Though I can only be here for a little bit. Enough to heal her."

"Okay. We'll protect you." T.K. said. They then kept the heartless from hitting Mickey before he can successfully charge up energy to heal Kari, while trying to retrieve all the medallions the heartless stole.

"Let's Digivolve!" Patamon exclaimed.

"Wait! You guys might need the energy to continue attacking that monster so it'll drop the medallions." Tai said.

"How does he even carry all of those medallions?" Gabumon said. Captain Jack then threw some bombs to get it on fire.

"Uh, bombs work against him?" Matt said.

"A bit of a confusing thing for myself." Jack said. They were halfway to filling the chest. The Heartless Boss continued to attack everyone.

"Mickey! Are you ready yet!?" Mimi exclaimed.

"Yep! HEALING LIGHT!" The healing light move then successfully healed Kari, and she got back on her feet again.

"Ohh...What hit me?" She then noticed King Mickey in front of him. "Your Majesty?"

"I healed you back to your feet, Kari. The charm I gave you was able to bring me here and heal you up, but only for a short time."

"That's what that charm was for."

"Now get back in there and fight!" He then went back into the charm.

"Ohh...Alright! Now, where were we?"

"Uh, getting our butts kicked?" Mimi said.

"Okay. Magic can only hurt him, or at least make him drop medallions, so..." Kari then went into Wisdom Form. She then was casting Blizzara on the monster, and it was being frozen, while dropping medallions. The finishing moves were turning the single Homing Blizzara shots into a Homing Spread Shot of 5. "GATHER!" She had enough magic to cast Magnet again, and all the medallions were returned to the chest. The Grim Reaper wasn't cursed anymore. "Now to finish this!"

"Ready for this Kari!?" Tai exclaimed.

"I am!" They then activated their Limit ability. Courageous Strength was performed first, as Tai knocked the heartless in the air, while Kari was Meteor Smashing it. Courageous Magic next, which was most effective, when they attacked with Fira, Blizzara, and Thundara together, and Courageous Light was last, which they slashed at lightning speed, created a violent shockwave when they slammed their Keyblades into the ground, finishing the Grim Reaper off right there.

*MUSIC ENDS*

The heartless fell onto the ground, defeated. Jack turned back to normal. He wasn't cursed anymore.

"All better." Kari said.

"Ah, not quite mate." Jack said. Luxord was in front of them.

"Uh, how long was he there?" Gomamon said. The Giant heart was released into the air.

"Bravo, Kari. Or Xion." Luxord said. He then disappeared in a Corridor of Darkness, as the gang tried to catch him.

"*Sigh* They don't give up." Tai said.

"Just who was that chap?" Jack said.

"They're apart of an organization who likes to cause trouble." Kari said. "I bet he tried to find some more nobodies, or at least try to beat me. Hopefully we'll find out where their home is, and finish them off, once and for all. But first we gotta deal with this other bad guy, named Apocalymon. He was the one who revived Organization XIII. While he's around, the worlds won't be safe." Will and Elizabeth walked up to them.

"Sailin' these waters, I've heard some tales, but not a one like this."

"Is there anything we can help?" Will said.

"Anything at all?" Elizabeth said.

"There is." Jack said.


Later, out at sea.

They dropped the chest full of medallions into the seven seas.

"It's certain we don't need the likes of that hooded fellow and the heartless about. They'll ruin the market for us pirates."

"So that's why you went to Port Royal." Elizabeth said. "And we actually thought you wanted to save everyone."

"A pirate always looks to profit, Miss Swann."

"Too bad though. Here we thought you had turned over a new leaf." Kari said.

"The question is, what's beyond the leaf? Savvy?"

"Oh...oh yes. A reward. And what'll it be?" Elizabeth said.

"That lovely blade of Sora's."

"Huh!?" The keyblade wielders exclaimed.

"Sorry. Sora's keyblade is not on-" Matt started.

"Okay." Sora simply said.

"Wait, what?" Tai said.

"Hold on, that was too easy." Jack said. "What's the rub?" Sora handed Jack the keyblade.

"Sora. Why did you handed him your keyblade?" Mimi said. After a short bit, the keyblade came back to Sora.

"There, you see?"

"Oh, the Keyblade comes back to their wielder. Makes sense." Gatomon said.

"Well, you always got the pearl, Jack." Kari said.

"That I do. But someday, I'll gather a blood-thirsty crew, and come to take that blade. Chance by then, I'll have the way to wield it. And If I succeed, I'll ask you two to join me. That'd be reward enough."

"Done." Elizabeth said.

"Maybe someday, Jack'll be able to use the Keyblade after all." Goofy said.

"Why's that?" Gatomon said.

"A-Hyuck! Him and Sora are kinda alike, dontcha think?"

"Are not!" They both exclaimed, while doing the same gesture. They looked at each other awkwardly. They all then started to laugh.


Jack dropped them off back at the Harbor, and he took off.

*HE'S A PIRATE(II.5)*

"Some say Jack Sparrow's the worst pirate ever to sail the Spanish Main." Will said.

"No one could really mean that." Elizabeth said.

"Right. We know he's the best."

"I hope we get to see him again." Kari said. The Black Pearl sailed off into the open seas for a new journey. A keyhole then appeared on the bell on the Rampart. Kari then pointed her Keyblade, and sealed the keyhole of this world.

PORT ROYAL

TO BE CONTINUED
