Chapter 9: Battle
Aboard the Interceptor, the crew was running about. It was pure chaos. Elizabeth and Will had just fought about the medallion and it seriously hurt them both. Miss Swann got onto the deck and saw the crew going mad. "What's happening?" she asked, running up to Anamaria, who was steering the ship.
"The Black Pearl, she's gaining on us." Elizabeth ran to the side of the Interceptor and looked at the Pearl. It was coming out of an eerie fog and seemed to be getting closer. "This is the fastest ship in the Caribbean!" she exclaimed, finally reaching the helm.
"You can tell them that after they've caught us."
"We're shallow on the draft, right?" she asked Anamaria.
"Aye."
"Well, then can't we lose them amongst those shoals?" Mr. Gibbs ran up to the helm and looked out over the sea. "We don't have to outrun them long, just long enough," he shouted.
"Lighten the ship.stem to stern!" Anamaria yelled.
"Anything we can afford to lose, see that it's lost!" Gibbs shouted in agreement.
Meanwhile, Jack continued to look out the hole, straining to view what was happening. Natalie stood up and sloshed through the water, kneeling beside him. "Can you see anything?" she asked innocently.
"Nope.just debris. There's gonna be quite a fight.and we're gonna miss it being locked down here," he replied, sitting back from the hole and into the water.
"Are we ever going to escape this place? I should be home right now.drinking soda and watching television," Natalie said with pouting look on her face. Jack looked at her and placed a hand on her shoulder. She looked at him briefly before lowering her gaze to her the floor. "I never got to thank you for saving me again."
"'Tis no trouble, Miss O'Connell." She smiled gratefully at Jack and watched him scoot back over to the hole and peek out again. To his surprise, he could see the Interceptor perfectly. It was pulled alongside the Black Pearl. "Jack, what's going on?"
"FIRE! FIRE!" Barbossa shouted. Jack and Natalie felt the ship move as it was fired at and retaliated. Natalie grew terrified and held onto Jack's arm. Without warning, he flung himself on top of her and towards the other side of the cell. She looked at the wall and saw that a cannonball would have hit them square in the head if they hadn't moved. "Stop blowing holes in my ship!" Jack shouted, still lying on top of her. Natalie began breathing heavily and looked up at Jack. Being in this position with a pirate was not where she wanted to be. "Could you get off?" she asked.
"Sorry 'bout that, love," Jack replied, rolling off her and helping her sit up. He then saw Gibbs' rum container lying on the floor. He picked it up and tried to drink it down, but there was nothing in it. Natalie looked at the cell door and saw it smoking. She stood up and darted to the door, pushing it open hesitantly. "Jack, look!"
"What.the cannon did that? Let's move!" Jack stood up and wrapped his arms around Natalie, kissing her cheek before opening the door wider and leading her out.
Back aboard the Interceptor, the crew was fighting off the Black Pearl the best they possibly could. "We could use a few more ideas, lass," Gibbs shouted.
"It's your turn!" Elizabeth yelled back, tugging on ropes to help keep the ship in tact.
"We need us a devil's dowry."
"We'll give them her," Anamaria stated firmly, pointing her pistol at Elizabeth's head.
"She's not what they're after," Will corrected. Elizabeth then looked down at her neckline and touched her throat. "The medallion," she whispered. Will abruptly stood up and ran below deck to search for pendant.
At that moment, Jack and Natalie reached the top of the deck. They both heard Barbossa yell, "And the rest of you bring me the medallion!" The mast of the Interceptor was lying on the deck of the Pearl and the cursed pirates were boarding. Jack stepped onto a railing, pulling Natalie up with him. She held onto him securely as he grabbed a rope from a pirate who fell onto the deck. "Thanks very much," they both said in unison as Jack gripped the rope firmly and swung across to the Interceptor with Natalie clinging to him.
Mr. Gibbs was lying on the ground, being held by his shirt by the enemy, until Natalie fell on the enemy pirate's head. Jack swung back toward the Pearl and then landed in front of Gibbs. When he saw Jack, he was completely shocked. "Bloody empty," Jack said, shoving the rum container in his face and helping Natalie up. Gibbs then charged at another man.
Elizabeth was struggling with many pirates and succeeding, but one of them happened to grab her wrist in a vice grip. He raised his sword to cut her, but Jack caught his arm. "That's not very nice," he said, shaking a finger at him. Elizabeth knocked the pirate overboard and Jack pulled Elizabeth aside, dodging gunfire. "Where's the medallion?"
"Wretch!" she shouted in response. She made an attempt to back-hand him in the face, but he caught it and noticed a cloth wrapped tightly around her hand. "Ah.where is dear William?" he asked.
"Will," she whispered, running back and seeing him under a grate, "WILL!"
"ELIZABETH!" he shouted back, trying to pry the grate off of himself. Natalie then noticed a monkey running across the mast of the Interceptor toward the Black Pearl. "Monkey!" she shouted, pointing to it. Jack motioned her to stay put and followed the creature across. Unfortunately, when he almost reached him, his hand closed in mid-air. Barbossa was standing in front of him, holding the medallion with the monkey on his shoulder. "Why thank you, Jack," Barbossa said, eyeing him.
"You're welcome," Jack replied.
"Not you, we named the monkey Jack." The creature flashed an arrogant smile and Jack glared up at Barbossa who shouted, "Gents, our hope is restored!" The cursed crew all cheered and continued to take everyone else hostage.
Natalie was suddenly grabbed from behind and held in a firm grip. She started to scream and struggle to get free, but no avail. Jack looked back at her and tried to get across, but Pintel and Ragetti grabbed him and forced him aboard the Pearl.
