To say that the life of one Edward Newgate was interesting was an understatement.
Born as the son of a seamstress and a blacksmith, one wouldn't seem to even glance at the boy, were it not for some of his more definitive traits. When Edward was born, he was a bit tall at 25 inches, weighing at 10 pounds. A bit above average. As time passed and as Edward grew up, he began to grow taller, faster and stronger than normal children his age. At the ripe old age of 8, Edward was standing at the height of five feet tall. A foot taller than his peers.
His mother even gave him a family heirloom that had been passed down in their family for generations; an old necklace that had a shark tooth attached to it. It belonged to one of their ancestors who had survived a great white shark whilst abandoned in the sea. He kept that sharks tooth for some reason that nobody has ever figured out why; only that it must never be lost or stolen.( This seemingly boring part will be explained later on in the story.)
On his 10th birthday, Edwards parents were killed by a drunken British soldier. The man was allowed to keep his freedom after he was tried in court, but was not counting on encountering Edward on his way to his home. For Edward was gifted with more than just great height. He was gifted with the strength of 40 men. The soldier found that out first hand when Edward began to break his arms with relative ease, and proceeded to break every bone in his body before caving in the man's skull with his bare hands. After he was done with the soldier, Edward managed to earn himself safe passage on a ship that was head for Port Royal. Once he had disembarked from the ship, he then managed to find work as an apprentice to the local blacksmith and his first apprentice by the name of Will Turner.
As several years passed since that fateful day, and things had seemed to have stayed the same. All except for one Edward Newgate. As he continued to to work with Will and the Mr Brown, the Ports Master Blacksmith; he began to gather lots of attention. He grew from his height of five feet to eight feet and two inches, as well as gaining and controlling his abnormal strength from helping in the creation of the various swords and various other works that he and Will worked on together when Mr Brown would pass out drunk in the middle of working. He had gained a sort of reputation as being a temp of sort, due to his strength for when someone needed help with moving or carrying something extremely heavy.
He once managed to carry two cannons on his shoulders with relative ease. But besides that he had also managed to procure friendship with his fellow apprentice, Will. He also learned how Will would have died at sea had it not been for the watchful eye of the Governors daughter, Elizabeth Swann. A rare vision of beauty that had captured the heart of the one that she had rescued so long ago. Something that seemed to be reciprocated if the rare glimpses that Edward had seen of the Young Swann when she was in the same room as young Turner.
Start of main story lineEdward was dressed in simple black pants that were tailored to fit a man of his size, the same could be said for his simple white shirt that allowed him to move freely. And a pair of boots had been custom made for him as well. (Think of how Naruto looks in Naruto D Newgate)
But right now was the day of the coronation of Captain Norrington, soon to be Commodore Norrington. At the moment, Edward was on his way to deliver a pair of 36 pound cannons to one of the ships that was still anchored at the docks, The Interceptor, whilst carrying the cannons on both of his shoulders.
But as he was making his way down to the docks, and saw his favorite two guards; Murtogg and Mullroy. Murtogg was stocky and short and had black hair,while Mullroy was tall and thin with brown hair. Both were wearing The British navy uniform. And that's when he noticed a rather peculiar man. He had dark brown hair that was arranged into dreadlocks, a black coat, as well as a black tricorn hat that was placed on top of a red bandanna. Braided into his hair were unusual trinkets. The way that he walked looked oddly funny to Edward, like the man was recently drunk from a lot of rum. He noticed that he was making his way over to The Interceptor as well. So, along with delivering a couple of cannons, Edward would meet the strange man.
As soon as the man came into view of Murtogg and Mulroy, the two of the ran to intercept the strange man before he boarded the ship. As soon as they were in the strange man's way, Murtogg spoke up as I was making my way down the boardwalk, in listening range of the ensuing conversation, "This dock is off limits to civilians."
"I'm terribly sorry, I didn't know. If I see one, I shall inform you immediately." The strange man commented. He then took a step so as to go around the two soldiers, who faltered for a second before getting in the strange man's way again.
As Edward watched the scene unfold before him, he couldn't help but chuckle. Which drew the attention of the three present before him. Murtogg and Mulroy weren't surprised when they saw the juggernaut that now stood before them since he was expected to be delivering a couple of cannons from the forts armory to be placed on the Interceptor as per the deal that was made when he was offered payment to move heavy payloads of merchandise to ships for the navy; whilst the the peculiarly dressed man was a little shocked at the sheer sight of the man that now stood before him. Never before had he seen a man of such stature, and he was seemingly able to lift two cannons on his shoulders as though they were made of paper, with such ease.
"Murtogg, Mulroy. I would have thought that you two would have been up at the Fort, watching the coronation for old Norrington." Commented Edward as he slightly looked down at the two navy officers. When at the moment that he finished speaking, his attention was grabbed by the peculiar man next to him who voiced a similar question.
"Whilst we are on the subject of said coronation for whomever this Norrington is, as the kind giant here has pointed out-" Said Jack as he gestured to Edward, who simply raised an eyebrow at the gesture of being called a giant, not that he took offense,-" so how is it that two upstanding gentlemen such as yourselves did not merit an invitation?"
"Someone has to make sure that this dock is off limits to civilians." Answered Murtogg.
"It's a fine goal, to be sure." Jack agreed. "But it seems to me that," jack then gestures to The Dauntless, "a ship like that, makes this one seem a bit.. what's the word?"
"Superfluous?" Edward suggests, seeing the man trying to find the word to describe the Interceptor.
"Aye, that be the word I was looking for." Agreed Jack as he was starting to see the giant man next to him in a while new light. "That's the word. Superfluous."
Murtogg then seemingly puffed out his chest, glad at the chance of being able to talk about the ship. "Well The Dauntless is the power of the seas, true enough. But there's no ship to as match the Interceptor for speed." He said proudly, while Jack looked a little thoughtful. Edward, seemingly was enjoying the scene that was playing out before him, wondering what the obviously dressed pirate was going to do. Edward could tell he was a pirate, just not which kind. If he was one of the good ones, then there would be no fuss. But if he was a bad one, than Edward would help try and put him in a cell. But he seemed to be leaning towards the first choice.
"I've heard of one." Jack announced while holding up a finger in n thought and he seemed to be trying to make sure to grab everyone's attention, especially Edwards. "Its supposed to be very fast, nigh uncatchable. The Black Pearl." Jack watched as a look of recognition passed across from Edwards face at the mere mention of the famous ship that had been praying on settlers ships for more than ten years. Said to leave no survivors to tell the tale, which Edward found funny because where would the stories come from.
Mullroy then started laughing. "Well, there's no real ship as can match the Interceptor."
"The Black Pearl is a real ship." Murtogg said as Mullroy then turned his attention to his fellow man. Edward, knowing about how the two got into their rather seemingly logical arguments about things that were real or not or whenever they got into a debate decided to just slip onto the ship and hook the cannons that were still on his shoulders into their designated places on the ship. He then made a gesture for the pirate to follow, so that he could get a better look at the design of the ship. Just because he was a pirate, didn't mean he couldn't just look around the ship. The man seemed rather content to study the helm though.
"No. No it's not." Mullroy stated as I finished tying down one of the cannons.
"Yes, it is. I've seen it." Murtogg insisted.
"You've seen it?" Questioned Mullroy.
Murtogg simply nodded and stated, "Yes."
"You haven't seen it." Rebukes Mullroy.
"Yes, I have." Insists Murtogg.
"You've seen a ship with black sails, that's crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out?" Murtogg Questioned his partner scrutinlously.
Putting the obvious discussion on hold, Edward decided to strike up a conversation with the pirate, while he finished securing the last cannon. "So, are you a captain?"
Jack just looked at the giant of a man, curious as to what his motives were as he had never in his life seen a man like him before. "What's gave it away?" He Questioned, curiosity setting in as to how possibly the man before him could tell that he was a captain.
Edward decided to humor the pirate as he finished tying down the cannon and securing it in place before making his way over to a crate that was right across from the pirate, before sitting down across from him before he began his explanation. "The way that youve been holding onto the helm is one of the indicator that you are a seasoned sailor, but rather the way you seemed to be subtly looking over every square inch of this ship is as though you are examining it so to judge how fast she is and how she could possibly weather the seas, not to mention how you seemed to brighten up at the mere mention of being a captain when I mentioned it. And I can also tell that you seem to be a pirate, with one of the reasons being as how you were trying to make both Murtogg and Mullroy look away from you so as to climb aboard the Interceptor."
Jack had to admit that he was rather impressed by the man's deductive prowess at figuring out that he was actually a captain and a pirate as well. "Right on both counts master Giant."
Edward looked a little pleased a the praise and then decided to introduce himself when he stood up from the crate and held out his hand for a handshake towards the man. "The name is Newgate. Edward Newgate, and don't let the height fool you. I'm only seventeen after all."
That statement did in fact surprise Jack. He had actually thought that the man that stood before him was actually in his late twenties due to his height, but now that he examined him more closely, he could see that the man was in fact still in his teens, what with how he held his air of youthfulness about himself, never minding the fact that he could possibly snap Jack himself in half if the way that he carried the two cannons earlier was any indication. But their brief conversation was interrupted by a shout from the docks.
"So, if you're a captain, then where is your crew?" Questioned Edward.
"I'm currently looking for some to join actually." Was Jack's reply.
"Oi, you there." Exclaimed Murtogg as both he and Mullroy ran up the gangplank and onto the deck of the ship, with their muskets trained on the pirate, while I just stood in the same place as before and said pirate still had his hands on the helm.
"You don't have permission to be aboard there mate." Mullroy stated.
Edward decided to defuse the situation by simply stating, which drew the two men's attention. "Oh relax there, Mullroy. I told him to follow me up here. He was just looking around, and I kept my eyes on him while I was working. He didn't take or damage anything. No harm, no foul."
"It's still a matter of protocol, Mr Newgate. And to that fact, step away from the helm there boyo." Commanded Murtogg as he directed the order to the pirate, not that he knew though.
"I'm sorry, but it's such a pretty boat-Ship." The man quickly corrected.
"What's you're name?" Asked Mullroy.
"Smith. Or Smithy, if you like." Answered the pirate.
"What's your purpose in Port Royal, Mr Smith?" Questioned Murtogg.
"Yeah and no lies." Added Mullroy, as he put his two cents in.
"All right then, I confess. It is within my devious intentions to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder, and otherwise pilfer me weaslly black guys out." The man admited. Edward, after hearing the man admit in front of two officers of the British Royal Navy that he was not only a pirate, but had every intention of stealing one of the fleets ships, and with such seriousness in his voice, did the one thing that he could think of at the man's sheer foolishness at admitting to his future endeavors. He laughed his ass off. "Gahahahaha!"
Murtogg and Mullroy were both startled and confused by the reaction of the resident Giant, while the pirate simply smiled when he realized just what the teen was laughing at.
"Oi! We're talking." Exclaimed Mullroy.
Edward finally pulled himself together and simply smiled at the two while gesturing back towards the now admittedly assured pirate.
Murtogg, after giving Edward a look of annoyance, simply turned back towards the pirate and complained in defense of his earlier words. "I specifically said no lies".
Mullroy leaned towards his fellow soldier and whispered to him, though Edward and Jack could still hear him, "I think he's telling the truth."
"If he were telling the truth, then he wouldn't have told us." Murtogg said as he rolled his eyes.
"Well, not unless he knew that you wouldn't believe the truth, even if he told it to you." Edward simply states towards the little dilemma that the two soldiers were having, while the man simply smiled at Edward using logic and trickery to help him out, and both at once. Edward then had a curios thought. "How did you get to Port Royal without a ship?"
"I did in fact have a boat that I used to get here, but it was a bloody awful boat. It sank when I got to the docks." Answered the pirate.
Curious about how his boat sank, Edward had a theory that he wanted confirmed. "Where did you sail from?"
"Tortuga." Answers the man, although he glared at Edward for asking that question.
"The pirate port, Tortuga?" Murtogg butt in with his question.
"Well there you're answer then. Boats aren't meant to be used for extended periods of time in the water for days on end. And from what I've gathered what with a favorable tide and good winds in the sails, it's still roughly 6 or seven days to Tortuga by just a small boat, and vice versa." Theorized Edward. Along with being paid in coin, Edward also liked to be paid in books on the seas. Whether they were about how to sail on a ship, or about the tales of the oceans and what dwelled in them.
"Aye, but that does not make me a pirate. I was merely there to sort out some business." Replied the man.
"What sort of business?" Mullroy asked. The man looked slightly frustrated. He appeared to be thinking for a bit before answering.
"I was simply there to settle a debate. There was some sort of argument over something. I can't remember. But anyway, I stepped in to settle the argument and then they proceeded to make me their cheif." The man finished, sounding very proud of his story.
All of a sudden, the quartet of men heard a splash coming from the cliff side. Someone had fallen from the Fort. They then heard the name of the Goveners daughters name being called.
"Will you be saving her then?" Asked the man questioningly, as he looked from one soldier to the next . Edward though was already getting ready to dive into the water.
"I can't swim." Mullroy said as Murtogg simply shook his head 'no' when the pirate looked his way. Jack simply decided to roll his eyes.
"Pride of the King's Navy you are." Scoffed the pirate as he began to take off his coat, gun, sword, hat and compass just as Edward leapt into the sea and started to swim towards the fallen maiden. Jack, upon seeing this decided to still help out. He then shoved his attire into Murtoggs arms while simultaneously saying, "Do no lose these."
He then proceeded to jump in after Edward and began to swim toward the spot where the woman had fallen. He then felt a strange ripple pass through the water, that he decided to ignore when he saw Edward pulling the fallen lady upwards, though he saw how her blouse seemed to be trying to drag both her and her rescuer down again, which he seemed to fight against as he began to bring her up slowly to the surface of the water, until the strange man decided to help out by first catching the giant man's attention and began to tear off the blouse that had been pulling down on the drowned woman until she became light again. The two nodded to each other before, rapidly swimming towards the surface now that the heavy blouse had been removed.
Edward then broke the surface of the water first, taking in a gulp of fresh air while the woman was slung over his shoulder when the other man broke through the surface next, and after taking a lungful of air, turned towards Edward and gave him a nod of acknowledgement that was returned before the two men, and one unconscious woman, began to make their way back towards the docks. Mullroy took the woman from Edwards shoulder and laid her down on the docks, just as Edward pulled himself onto the docks before giving the man who had helped him a hand and pulled him out of the water with the man giving a surprised shout when he was pulled sharply out and placed on his feet on the docks.
"She's not breathing!" Mullroy said urgently. The man and Edward came up from behind Mullroy, before saying, "Move!"
He then proceeded to cut open the woman's corset before ripping it apart, allowing her lungs to fully expand and began to cough up the water that had filled her lungs before gasping for air. He then threw the ripped corset at Murtogg, who looked embarrassed at catching it.
After a moment of the girl trying to catch her breath, Mullroy admitted to himself, "Never would have thought of that."
"Clearly you've never been to Singapore." The man said before his and Edwards attention were drawn to the necklace that was around her neck.
It looked to be made of gold, with a skull in the middle of it. And the designs that surrounded the skull caused Edward to give a sharp intake of breath, for he would know of that kind of design anywhere. "Aztec." He muttered to himself, just loud enough for the strange man to hear him.
"Just who is this boy?" Was the pirates thought. He then posed a question at the woman that was now looking at the two men who were crouched before her. "Where did you get that?"
At that moment, Edward began to hear the sound of Norrington's men and was getting ready to turn himself around when he and the pirate found a sword pointed in between their heads with a voice, which Edward recognized as Norrington from the brief few times that he heard him speak say, "On your feet."
Both Edward and the suspected pirate slowly got to both of their feet's and many were instantly able to recognize Edward, due to his vast height while some were astonished due to his sheer size, the two of them slowly raised their hands to where they were visible, while Edward saw Governor Swann appear on the docks and was beginning to make his way over to the woman who was now starting the stand on her feet, proving to Edward that she was in fact the Governors daughter.
"Elizabeth!" Governor Swann shouted as he made his way through the crowd of soldiers. "Are you alright?" He Asked as he helped her up and proceeded to hug her with relief in his voice. Edward looked on at the scene with longing, remembering when his own mother hugged him like that, which Norrington took notice of, with a look of confusion on his face at the expression that the giant of a man seemed to have.
The now named Elizabeth then answered her father. "Yes, I'm fine." She answered with a slight shiver in her voice due to the coldness of the seawater.
The Governor pulled his daughter to him and wrapped her up in his coat before glancing over at Murtogg, who was still holding the cut open corset in his hands and looking slightly flustered at being caught with the garment in his possession, before he threw down to the ground real quick before pointing accusingly at both Edward and the suspected pirate.
Both of whom began to glare at the soldier for ratting them out to the Governor, who gave a quick glance at the two, not taking notice of Edwards build and height before stating in an authoritative voice, "Shoot them!" Then all of the muskets that were there at the moment were pointed at both the strange man and Edward himself.
Elizabeth then spoke up while letting herself out of her fathers arms until she stood slightly in front of the new Commodere, "Father! Commodore, do you really intend on killing my rescuers?"
Norrington looked over at Elizabeth in contemplation before nodding to his men, signaling them to put there guns down. The strange man put down his hands, but not before he put his hands into a prayer-like motion and slightly nodded his head over to the Governors daughter: while Edward released a silent sigh of relief as he put down his hands, which didn't seem to sound so silent when he drew the attention of Governor Swann, Miss Elizabeth and the new Commodore, who were astonished by how different the man before them was, what with his impressive stature and how strong he must have been.
Commodore Norrington then put his hand out as to shake the two men's hands as soon as he had returned his new sword to its sheath, while having a rather strange expression on his face. "I believe thanks are in order."
Edward figured out what Norrington was up to, but was unable to warn his fellow rescuer when he put out his hand to shake Norringtons, who once he had the man's hand in his grasp pushed his sleeve up to reveal the ever popular pirate brand.
"Had a brush with the East India Trading Company did we, pirate?" Asked Norrington. The strange man flinched at that before he turned his attention to his new giant frien who looked put out that his new friend was outsted as a pirate. Something that made him happy that the giant man had nothing against him as being a pirate.
"Hang him." Governor Swann ordered as he looked quizzingly over at Edward, trying to discern if he was a pirate as well.
"Permission to speak freely sir?" Asked Murtogg as he was looking professionally, while still looking completely nervous.
"Granted." Answered Norrington while still holding onto the pirates arm.
"Mr Newgate, this man here-", Murtogg gestured to Edward helpingly, "-isn't a pirate sir. He's the one that was hired to deliver the last two cannons that were to be delivered to Interceptor today, sir. He was here when Ms Swann fell into the water, and was the one to get her out, while the pirate is the one who got her to breath, sir".
After hearing this, Elizabeth looked at the giant man before her with a look of gratitude, the same look that was being given to him by the Governor. But Norrington however was contemplating on where he knew the name of Newgate. As though he had heard if it from somewhere before, until it hit him. "Newgate? As in Brian and Maria Newgate from over 7 years ago?"
Edward looked at the newly appointed Commodore with a look of confusion on his face before he simply nodded his head at the question. Norrington simply bowed his head before speaking to his second in command while giving orders to his men. "Men keep your guns trained on the both of them. Gillette, fetch some irons."
Governor Swann was shocked that the newly appointed Commodore was also arresting the man who saved his daughter from drowning. "Just what are the the charges the young man is faced with to be imprisoned?"
"Precisely seven years ago, a couple were killed by a drunken soldier, leaving their son an orphan. Only the soldier was discharged from the fleet, he was allowed to live. But was found that very same day with every bone in his body broken and his head smashed in". Revealed Norrington to the crowd of listeners who were saddened by the thought of a child being orphaned due to the navy officer from killing his parents and were all appalled at the thought of what had happened to the soldier, but they were still confused as to how Edward fit into the story, until Elizabeth made the connection by sadly stating the question that was sure to be the correct assumption on Norringtons mind, "They were Edwards parents, weren't they?"
Everyone there simply stared in horror and shock at the revalation, while Edward simply nodded his head with no expression on his face.
Edward than simply stated to Norrington, while also looking angrily at the Commodore, "He took everything from me, and all he got was a slap on the wrist. It was only fair that I do the same to him. An eye for an eye. A life in exchange for two lives. The court system failed me and my parents, so I did what needed done."
Norrington stared back at the young man who had suffered much due to what was taken from him before stating in a firm yet saddening tone, "I'm afraid that I have to arrest you".
Edward simply nodded his head, seemingly accepting his punishment. While he was doing that, Norrington turned back towards the pirate that was still in his grasp and saw what looked to be a tattoo above his pirate brand. Pushing the man's sleeves up farther, revealing a tattoo of a bird flying over water. "Well, Well, If it isn't Jack Sparrow."
"Captain Jack Sparrow, If you please, sir." The now names Captain Sparrow Said.
Norrington then stared as he twirled around while looking throughout the harbor looking for a pirates ship, "Well I don't see your ship, Captain."
Sparrow then answered with smirk charmingly, "I'm in the market, as it were".
"He said he'd com to commandeer one". Murtogg put in while looking a little saddened at his giant friend was under arrest.
"Told you that he was telling the truth. These are his, sir". Answered Mullroy as he crouched down to pick up Sparrows effects.
Norrington the. Began to examine the items. "No additional shot or powder". He stated while examining the pistol. "A compass that doesn't point north".
Edward then spoke up to that statement. "The compass doesn't point north, but what if your not trying to find north".
Everyone looked confusingly at this statement, save for Captain Sparrow who just sent Edward a knowing look, while still looking mildly impressed by the young man's deduction.
Norrington decided to ignore this while slightly pulling out the pirates sword to inspect it. He then smiled mockingly at the pirate while stating, "And I half expected it to be made of wood". He then thrust the sword back into its sheathe before saying, "You are, without doubt, the worst pirate that I have ever heard of".
Jack put his finger up as if to point something out as he looked at the Commodore, "But you have heard of me". At this, Edward couldn't help but laugh.
Norrington then grabbed Sparrow by his wrist and began to walk off, with Edward being gently guided right behind him, while both Elizabeth and Gillette, who had returned with some manacles, walked after them. "Commodore, I really must protest". She was now standing in between Norrington and the two prisoners, "Pirate, killer or not, these men both saved my life".
"One good deed is not enough to redeem a man from a lifetime of wickedness, or in the killing of his parents Murderer". Norrington rebuffed.
"Though it seems to be enough to condemn them of it". The pirate captain added.
"Indeed". Norrington curtly answered.
The man who was shackling both Captain Sparrow and Newgate walked away from them. "Finally". Sparrow said as he put his chains around Elizabeth's neck, nearly chocking her. All of the soldiers pointed their guns at them. This made the Governor frantic. "No! Don't shoot"!
"I knew you'd warm up to me". Sparrow said as he whispered just loud enough for Elizabeth to hear, who seemed to frown in disgust, and Edward as well due to how close they were to each other. What with Edward being right behind the two while keeping an eye on everyone else.
Sparrow then spoke loud enough for Commodore Norrington to hear him, while still keeping ahold of Elizabeth. "Commodore Norrington, my effects please. And my hat."
Norrington looked hesitant at the demands until Sparrow spoke up again. "Commodore!" Jack prompted out.
Edward decided to speak up, which caught the marines as well as Jack and Elizabeth's attention. "Commodore, considering the fact that a notorious pirate had the Governors daughters life in his hands, I'd give him what he wants".
James Norrington thought out the giant man's words while watching him, seeing that he was just standing there and watching the scene unfold before him before deducing that he was was making himself seem les threatening to the pirate so that he wouldn't further harm Elizabeth. He then nodded his head to Mullroy, who then brought the pirates effects over to Miss Swann, who grabbed the effects from the soldiers hands while said pirate grabbed the gun and held it to her head while they were still facing the soldiers.
"It's Elizabeth, isn't it?" Jack Asked the Governors daughter, who had her frown still on her face.
"It's Miss Swann". She answered icily.
"Miss Swann, If you would be so kind. Come, come dear we don't have all day." She turned to him angrily with his other effects still in her hands. "Now if you wouldn't mind". She glared at him before she began to put his effects back on him. She put on his hat, strapped his sword to his waist and put his compass on his belt. Jack was slightly glad that the lady was so close. Ms Swann was no ordinary girl, he could tell and it was not just because of the necklace she had. Jack had a feeling that she wa more than what she appeared, as was the giant teen who was watching them with a look devoid of of emotion.
"Easy on the goods darling." He murmured as she attached his sword belt to his waist.
"Your despicable." Elizabeth Said after she was done and Jack smiled.
"Sticks and stones love. I helped saved your life, you save mine, and we're square. And all you have to do is repay is repay our giant friend." He answered before he turned her back around. "Gentlemen, Milady, lad." The pirate addressed them as he began to slowly walk backwards and past Edward who was standing to the side with his expression still in neutral. "You will always remember that this is the day as the day that you almost caught...Captain Jack Sparrow."
He then shoved the girl forwards into the crowd and then took ahold of a rope and kicked at a pulley. This caused a cannon to drop near the ground and would have damaged the walkway had Edward not caought it with his bound arms, causing the boards beneath him to creek from the unexpected weight that was added to the single spot, and caused Sparrow to fly up into the air, just like his namesake.
"Now will you shoot him?" Governor Swann commanded.
"Open fire!" Norrington shouted. The soldiers began to shoot at Sparrow, who had somehow managed to get up on the top of a crane, and while using the chains on the manacles as a makeshift zip line, Sparrow was able to make his way to the very beginning of the docks, until he was able to disappear into town.
Norrington turned his attention to his second in command before commenting. "Gillette, Mr Sparrow has an appointment with the gallows. I would hate for him to miss it".
Elizabeth, still in the arms of her father, who had not let her go, turned to where she heard the clanging of metal and saw how the small giant of a man known as Newgate was putting the cannon that fell earlier against the wall of a building. Something that confused Elizabeth, as to how he was able to carry something as heavy as a cannon with such ease, until she saw that his manacles were broken, thus allowing him to move with no restrictions.
Norrington simply made his way up to Newgate with a pair of soldiers and told them to take him away to the Forts jail cells, to await his judgement. Never in her dreams would Elizabeth believe that she had seen what this world had to offer, but she as well as everyone else will learn is that they live in a world of mystery.
Sorry if I've been rather reclusive my loyal readers. I've been hit with a case of writers block for some time, but as you can see, with some relaxation I've managed to put a a brand new story for you all. Please send me some good reviews.
