"I'm supposed to be what? Dead? How do you know of me? Tell me, now!" demanded Sonja.

"I will tell you Sonja but now is not the time," Jack told her. "We are in a slight predicament and we have to deal with that first."

She nodded, knowing that she waited this long for answers; she could wait a few moments longer. The two looked at Tranko, who was growing angrier by each passing moment. He stared at them with anger in his eyes. They both thought that no one could be angrier than what he was.

"I will get you Yas," he snarled at her.

'Yas? Where did she ever get stuck with that name?' thought Jack. 'It's almost the same as William Turner usually being called Will.'

He turned to look at Sonja with a slightly desperate look on his face.

"Are you certain you don't want to leave?" he asked her one last time.

"Yes, I am certain," she replied as she glanced over at Will and Elizabeth.

She smiled at the two before Jack began to face off against Tranko again. The three watched them duel until they reached the treasure of Cortez. Jack found himself unable to go anywhere. He stared at Tranko. He glanced down to see Will and Elizabeth finding themselves back into battle with the greedy crew, leaving Sonja to continue watching the fight between the two pirate captains.

"What do we do now Tranko? Keep doing this until the end of time?" wondered Jack.

"No, we won't have to. We will simply continue until you're dead," Tranko replied as he thrust his sword forward.

Jack managed to get out of the way and Tranko twirled around to face the pirate.

"You won't win this!" cried Tranko as he rushed towards Jack.

Jack was caught unawares by this action. He stumbled back a few steps as Tranko hurried towards him.

"No!" cried Sonja.

She began to run towards the two and she lunged for the captain of the 'Black Pearl'. She reached him before Tranko did and the two fell to the ground. Both groaned slightly on impact. Jack looked at her with slight surprise in his eyes as she towered above him.

"Why did you do that?" he asked as he glanced at her hands.

He noticed the ring on her finger and he couldn't help but look at it.

"And where did you get that?" he asked as he lifted her hand to look at it better.

"I got it from here," she replied. "Barbossa brought me here several years ago."

Captain Jack Sparrow was surprised with this news as he continued to stare at her.

"How long ago?" he demanded to know.

"About nine years ago," she replied.

"Oh please. This is not for me," Tranko said with an impatient sigh. "I actually think I can find it from here now that I think about it."

He lifted up his sword over the two and Jack saw him do this.

"No!" he cried as he glanced at Sonja to see that Tranko was aiming for her.

He reached for her and pushed her out of the way. Sonja was surprised by this action and she watched as Jack stood back up and faced off against Tranko once again. Tranko came on strong as he thruat his sword at Jack but the captain of the 'Black Pearl' soon got the upper hand and stabbed Tranko in his abdomen area. The captain of the 'White Moon' cringed as the sword went through him. He looked over at Sonja before his stare came back to the man standing before him. His stare soon went back to the female pirate.

"Looks like you won after all dear Sonja and you have him to thank," Tranko quietly said as he fell to the ground.

The group surrounding them suddenly stopped and looked at the scene before them. Tranko's crew couldn't believe what they were seeing and neither could Jack's crew or even Elizabeth and Will. It was then that Tranko's crew lowered their swords, giving in to the members of Jack's crew.

Alige and Parto stared at Elizabeth and Will. They were a bit upset but they didn't show it.

Norrington looked over the island before him. He was told by Governor Swann about what Elizabeth had done and which direction she had gone in. Her father had seen her get on the boat and head in the direction of Isla de Muerta.

"What have you gotten yourself into Elizabeth?" he muttered to himself as he and a few members of his crew went into the cave.

They were met with a number of pirates, including some who had surrendered. A few looked at the men who just walked inside.

"Why are you here?" demanded one.

"We came to help Elizabeth, that is all. We'll take care of these men now," Norrington replied.

Soon after Norrington's men dealt with Tranko's crew, Will and Elizabeth walked up to Jack, who had a hand placed on his forehead.

"All right everyone, back to the 'Black Pearl'," the captain cried out to the crew. "I'll be with you in a moment. I just want to finish things up here."

The crew listened to his orders and began to head out of the cave towards the ship while Jack stayed behind. Will and Elizabeth were becoming worried about their friend.

"Jack, are you alright?" Will cautiously asked him. "You don't look so well."

Sonja walked up to him and was becoming worried. Jack looked at the people surrounding him, repeatedly blinking his eyes.

"I'll be fine. I'm alright," he replied as he stepped forward.

He walked only a few steps and stopped. Will walked up to him and placed a hand on his back. Will was surprised as he felt something wet on his hand. He jerked his hand away and looked at it. What he saw, was blood.

"Jack!" cried Will as he saw Jack begin to collapse.

He caught the man before he fell to the ground and gently lowered him down. Elizabeth and Sonja both knelt beside them.

"What's wrong? He appeared to be fine this entire time!" Elizabeth demanded to know.

Sonja was really worried at this point as she looked over Jack Sparrow. She placed a hand on his back, near his shoulder, where Will recently placed his. She moved some of his clothing and felt the wound on his back.

"He's been injured somehow," she sighed as she took her hand away and wiped the blood away. "We have to do something about it rather soon."

"It...was when...Tranko tried to kill you," Jack stammered as he slowly turned his head towards her. "I couldn't let him...kill you...couldn't let him see...he injured me. I do...have answers...to your...questions. I knew...your mother. Rather well actually."

"Really? Tell me, please!" she pleaded. "Please tell me what you know!"

"I was recently...at your house. A man said...you disappeared. Once I heard that, I was hoping you were...still alive," he replied.

Sonja was anxiously waiting for what she about to be told.

"Sonja, I was...in love with your mother. I didn't know about you...until it was too late," Jack told her, the pain evident in his voice.

"You mean...you're my father?" she gasped.
