~*~ Thanks for the review! Here's the second chapter, just for you! Sorry to leave off at such a cliffhanger, but it takes me forever to come up with a tolerable battle scene! *sigh*

Jack:*pats Lloth's shoulder* 'Salright, luv, rum'll make it all better!!

Anywho, here's the next chappie!!~*~

~*~*~*~

"Because, luv," Jack said, a sly grin spreading across his lips. "I'm *Captain* Jack Sparrow!"

The crew groaned slightly, hands flying to the hilts of their weapons as Jack grinned at them, not understanding their dismay until it was too late.

Drizzt was on his feet in an instant, his scimitars flashing out of their sheaths too fast for any to register the movement. The pirate had stated clearly who he was, a fatal mistake on his part, for now the Sea Sprite could bring them to Justice.

"Jack Sparrow!" Duedramont called stridently, drawing a saber and making his way toward the eccentric pirate.

"That's *captain* ,*captain* Jack Sparrow!" he growled back irritably.

"I thought you were to be hanged at the prisoner's carnival tomorrow!"

"I have not yet resigned meself to the gallows, savvy?" his cutlass was out now, weaving tauntingly before Captain Duedramont. On either side of Jack, the crew of the Black Pearl had drawn their weapons and were ready to square off against those of the Sea Sprite. Suddenly, Bootstrap's eyes went wide in horror.

"Drow!" he hissed in abject denial, casting a meaningful glance his Captain's way. Jack scowled in worry.

"Brid, luv?"

"He's mine!" the fox growled, stalking toward the ranger. The drow's eyes narrowed and he began to circle, expression grim. Off to one side, Robillard's hands flashed through a series of elaborate gestures, the wizard muttering under his breath.

"Annwn! A spell would be nice!" Jack shouted pointedly, his blade ringing loudly against Duedramont's.

"Loadin' cannons, Cap'n!" She called back, flashing through the gestures of a spell, one she hoped, as she focused on the bulk of the Sea Sprite's crew, would aid in their escape. Steel rang on steel as the entire tavern erupted into one huge brawl, with Gibbs using his fists to clear a way out. Brid worked her blades furiously, hard pressed to keep the drow at bay. She cringed inwardly in face of the fires in his lavender eyes. The two combatants moved toward the center of the room where a shout from above warned the fox to dive to the side. Drizzt saw this and followed suite, just as the chandelier came crashing down, effectively pinning a number of drunks and a few of the Sea Sprite's crewman. Nimh dropped lightly from the rafters, landing with the grace of a cat.

"Did I miss anybody?" she asked, smiling brilliantly at the fox. Brid merely shook her head, saluting her friend as she once again crossed blades with the drow. At the Bar, Jack was busy with Duedramont, pushing the aging captain back on his heels with skill uncharacteristic of his young age. His grin widened when he looked around the tavern and saw the majority of The Sea Sprite's crew either unconscious or ensnared in Annwn's magical webbing, though the young sorceress was taking many a painful blow from the more experienced Robillard. The outlandish captain leapt into the air, spinning a somersault over Duedramont and moving toward the exit, his crew in tow.

"Brid, luv, we must be gettin' ourselves into a more profitable situation, savvy?" ha called, ignoring Captain Duedramont as he stormed closer.

"Aye, cap'n. I'm well aware of that, but I got meself a bit of a problem." Brid called back, fighting desperately to disengage the drow. There was a loud 'FOOM' sound, and he was thrown effectively backwards. Annwn's magic missile did little to hurt the battle hardened dark elf, but it did result in his entanglement in some of the magical webbing.

"Damned Pirates!" he growled as Jack Sparrow just grinned. The Pearl's crew snickered as Duedramont voiced his threat, helping the singed Robillard to his feet.

"Ware the seas, Jack Sparrow!"

"*Captain*!"

"For the Sea Sprite will not rest until every last one of you is strung up at the gallows!"

"Captain Duedramont, you may threaten me all you want," Jack began as his crew filed out of the tavern, heading back to the docks. "But, you forget one very important thing!"

"And, what's that, pray tell?"

The pirate grinned and began to turn around, though before he joined his crew, he cast Duedramont a sly glance.

"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow!"
