Author's Note-Alright, Tampa Bay's now on my list of teams I'm not too fond of. I believe that Calgary should have won. (I'm talking about hockey here if someone didn't understand there). Well, have fun reading the next chapter.
Jack slowly walked up to Tranko and Sonja. Tranko was still holding a pistol to Sonja's head as the pirate was doing so.
"Let her go," Jack told him. "And someone won't have to die tonight."
"No, I won't let her go. I've waited too long for this moment to let it slip between my fingers now," Tranko snorted. "She is my map. Has been ever since the day I first met her and be assured that someone will die tonight."
"Well then, that's a problem. We both want two different things and you know it can't go both ways," Jack commented, a small smile on his face.
Tranko growled as he shoved Sonja down the mound of gold. She landed on level land and gasped out in pain before she looked at her arm. She landed in such a way that she could hear a slightly audible crack. She looked up at the two men above her, hoping nothing would come to the Captain Jack Sparrow now that just arrived on the scene. She continued to stare at him.
'Please, don't let anything happen to him,' she thought to herself as she continued to watch the scene. 'I have to ask him my questions.'
"Something has to be done and done immediately," Tranko told Jack. "You won't survive the night and neither will she."
"Yes, something has to be done but I won't be the one dying tonight," agreed Jack as he pulled out his sword.
Tranko also pulled out his sword and the two metallic objects soon met as the crew, Elizabeth, Will and Sonja looked on.
Will soon saw that the pirates keeping him still were preoccupied with the battle going on before them so he jerked his arm away from Alige and punched him in the face. He tried to do the same with Parto and succeeded. He hurried over to Elizabeth.
"We have to get out of here with Jack and Sonja. For some strange reason, she's beginning to remind me of him more than ever now but that can't be," Will told her as he stared at her. "She's not related to him. We talked about this earlier about it."
"Now that you mention it again..." began Elizabeth but she was cut short by Alige and Parto.
"We'll get you for this. No one has ever escaped from us before. Not even Yas," Alige said with a smirk.
"Alige, this is only the first time we had taken Sonja captive. How could she have gotten away before if we didn't have her?" wondered Parto.
Alige growled in disbelief as he looked at his crewmember. Alige rolled his eyes at him before giving a sigh signifying his impatience.
"I know that," he growled.
The two looked to see that Elizabeth and Will were gone. The two left during their short argument about Sonja.
"Oh great," muttered Alige as he looked at the spot before him. "They're gone."
"Not gone Alige, just moved. Look!" cried Parto as he pointed towards the battle between Tranko and Sparrow.
Elizabeth and Will were both heading towards the fight between the pirate captains.
Soon, voices were heard in filling the cavern. Parto and Alige looked to see members of Jack Sparrow's crew running into the cave.
"Great, more trouble to deal with," sighed Alige.
Mr. Gibbs and Anamaria looked at the members of the crew heading into the caves to help Jack and the others.
"Do you think it's such a good idea? To let them do this, I mean," wondered Anamaria. "Heading into a cavern full of Tranko's men?"
"I don't know but Jack needs help," replied Gibbs with a sigh.
Anamaria shook her head, as if indicating that she didn't like what was happening. Gibbs sighed as they continued to watch the cave entrance.
The two crews began to attack each other while Tranko and Jack continued on with their duel.
"You can't win this Jack. Out of all the other times we met, I have always found a way to outsmart and defeat you," Tranko told him with a laugh.
"This time will be different Tranko. I can feel it. I will win this time," Jack replied, the certainty in his voice.
"It will be no different. It will just like every other time," Tranko said before laughing harder.
The two began to duel on and they soon came close to where Sonja was sitting on the ground. Jack glanced at her and he could tell she was scared for her life. Or maybe his, he couldn't quite tell.
"Get out of here!" Jack suddenly said as an attack came from above his head.
What?" she said, not believing what she was hearing from the captain.
"Get out of here before something else happens," he repeated as he tried to keep the attack from coming down onto him.
"No! I won't leave you here alone! Especially against Tranko!" she cried before standing up.
She began to run and she ran into Tranko, knocking him off balance. She cringed a bit in pain as she headed to Jack's position.
"All right, why won't you leave then? Tell me!" demanded Jack as he looked at her, noticing that she was slightly favouring her one arm. "And that was a really stupid move, you know."
"I don't want to go because I believe you have answers I have seeking for, for many years Captain Jack Sparrow," she replied, emphasizing the last word.
Jack was confused with this as he looked at her.
Elizabeth and Will were helping the crewmembers deal with Tranko's crew. They were finding themselves getting closer to the place where Jack and Tranko had stopped their fight. Will knocked out the man he was fighting with and looked up to see Sonja was standing next to Jack, talking to him.
"Jack! Sonja!" he cried but they didn't hear him.
He could hear the two talking more clearly and he was surprised to hear what was about to be said.
"What do you mean by that my dear?" wondered Jack. "What is it that you want to know?"
"I believe that you're what I've been looking for all these years. Jack Sparrow, my name is Sonja. Sonja Raven. Perhaps you knew my mother," replied Sonja.
Jack's eyes flew up in surprise at those words. He stepped away from her in slight surprise.
"Sonja Raven. I don't believe it!" he gasped. "It can't be you! I feared you were no longer alive. I was almost coming to believe that you were dead!"
