Before the threat that Jen had mentioned was carried out, Will struck faster than light. His sword hilt flashed, and then Jen was lying in a little heap on the floor. Will untied Jack and helped Jack tie up the limp Jen.
"We have to get to the Pearl." Will said harshly. Jack nodded.
"Um, Will, the crew have been captured." He mentioned cautiously. Will slammed his fist against the wall in anger. Suddenly, he snatched up the gun, put his sword back in its sheath, and yanked up Jen. Holding the ropes that bound her, he hurried through the darkness, only barely noticing that Jack was following behind him, with the light. He burst onto the deck, and into the pale dawn light. He held the gun up to Jen's head.
"I'm taking over the ship!" He yelled. The Atlantis's crew turned and began to laugh. Allison was smirking.
"Yer' crew has been captured. Ye' failed, Turner." She teased. Will shook Jen.
"I haven't failed yet! Let us go or Jen dies!" He shouted. Allison laughed.
"So? What does one member matter?" But the rest of the crew was quiet.
"Once the commodore has been rid of Jen, he won't have a reason not to capture you! You need her more than she needs you!" Will yelled, brandishing the gun dangerously, tightening his hold on it. Allison paled.
"All right, all right. Yer' crew goes free." The crew was cut loose. They began to run off the ship. Jack and Will were left, Jack standing a few feet behind Will.
"Thanks." Will said. He dropped the pistol down by his side. He turned towards Jack.
"Oh," He said, turning around to Allison quickly, "Hold this for me." With that, he shot her. She crumpled, and Will and Jack ran. Jack was carrying Jen.
"This bloody girl has been eating to well for ship food!" He growled. They weren't far from the Pearl, when they saw all the crew tied up on the Pearl, with a bunch of soldiers surrounding them.
"Red coats!" Will snapped. Snatching Jen out of Jack's arms, he dragged her up onto the ship. Again, he held the gun.
"Commodore!" He shouted. "Norrington!" Jack was following again, quietly musing over what Will could do.
"Don't do anything stupid, Will!" He murmured.
"Get away from here Norrington. You slimy scum." He whispered the last part under his breath. Elizabeth was standing with the commodore, arguing. Elizabeth turned at the sound of his voice.
"Will!" She cried, moving towards him. The commodore blocked her.
"Ah, so Turner, you figured it out." The commodore looked amused, a smirk flitting about his face.
"Of course. Now get away from here. I found your niece, you can go now." Will said harshly.
"But Turner, that is a pirate woman, not my niece." There was a few strangled laughing sounds as the soldiers laughed. Will grabbed the nearest laughing soldier by the collar.
"Think it's funny? But what if the commodore had a secret?" Will asked, pacing slowly among the soldiers.
"Mr. Turner!" Shouted the commodore.
"Shut up!" Will snapped in answer. "What if, the commodore was letting a bunch of pirates slip around Port Royal without pain of death? The Atlantis is not far from here. They are wounded. You could easily take them." A cheer rose up from the soldiers. The commodore was smirking again, thinking Will had walked into a trap.
"Then we shall capture them!" He crowed. Will laughed.
"But Commodore Norrington, has been hiding something. Why are you here on the Black Pearl, the ship he enlisted for help and therefore he cannot capture, as he claims we have not yet succeeded, if the ship you have been after for years is right over there?" The soldiers now looked confused.
"Perhaps, the reason you are here, is because the commodore was hiding something on that ship. Say, a relative. A niece, perchance." Will laid Jen down on the deck.
"I give you, Commodore Norrington's niece, Jennifer." He shouted. The soldiers were appalled, looking back and forth from Will to the commodore. The commodore's face was now twisted in rage and fury. Elizabeth was looking highly amused and in awe. Jack was grinning broadly.
"TO THE ATLANTIS!" Jack shouted. The soldiers all cheered and ran for the Atlantis, grateful to be away from the other two. Meanwhile, Will and Norrington stood facing each other.
"Give me Elizabeth." Will said slowly. Norrington had a tight grip on her wrist.
"No." He snarled. Will advanced. The commodore pushed Elizabeth behind him and pulled out his sword. Will drew his as well. Then the two fought. The swords rang out, two swords that Will had made, fighting now for blood and life. Elizabeth was calling out to Will, although what she was saying, Will didn't know. He was angry, and his sword was flying, becoming only silver blurs. Sweat was trickling down him, but for all he knew, it was rain. His heart was thumping, and he was now glad that he still practiced with his sword, because he couldn't tire now. His feet kept moving, and so did his hand. Suddenly, Norrington grabbed Elizabeth and held his sword near her neck. Will dropped his sword, breathing hard.
"Don't hurt her." He snarled. The commodore motioned towards the fallen sword. Will picked it up, and offered it hilt first to Norrington. Then in turn, Norrington flung Elizabeth at him. He wrapped Elizabeth in his arms, and kissed her forehead once. She shuddered and hugged him tighter. Norrington glared at them. All at once, he began to come towards them, sword raised high. In a flash, Will pulled out the gun and shot him.
"You cheated!" Norrington gasped. Will looked down at him.
"I'm a pirate." He said coldly. Norrington, his hands pressed tight against his stomach, where the wound was, sank to his knees, then fall back. Will dropped the gun down beside him. Suddenly, they heard voices. Elizabeth and Will turned. All the soldiers were coming back, the crew of the Atlantis bound and gagged. But there was another group of soldiers, coming up behind them, carrying something on their shoulders. Jack was sitting upon their shoulders.
"Three cheers for Jack Sparrow!" One of the soldiers cheered. Will noticed they were all waving mugs of rum and raised an eyebrow.
"Hip hip!" One soldier shouted.
"HURRAY!"
"Hip hip!"
"HURRAY!"
"Hip hip!"
"HURRAY!"
By now Jack was looking extremely pleased.
"To Jack Sparrow the bravest of us all!" A soldier cried.
"Jack Sparrow!" they began to shout. Jack looked annoyed now.
"Captain!" he was shouting over the din. They made their way on board and let Jack down.
"We set sail at once!" Jack cried.
