HERE IS THE FINAL CHAPTER.

PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!

Buffy's arms had long since gone numb from being chained. The Pirates had left and she only hoped that Will was safe. Only a small group remained to watch her. The clang of something hitting the floor brought her attention back to Jack.

"I must admit, Jack, I thought I had you figured." Barbossa said. "But it turns out you're a hard man to predict."

"Me? I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly stupid." Jack said the words looking right at Buffy.

Jack grabbed the sword of the nearest pirate and pushed him out of the way. Buffy kicked out with one of her legs and turned and did a spin kick to take out another pirate. She was really wishing for the use of her hands as the pirates kept coming. A scraggly cross-eyed pirate threw a bomb at her but she dodged it and it hit the treasure. She was still too close as the explosion had knocked her to the ground. She was a bit dazed, and her ears were ringing. With her arms and hands bound, she soon found the scraggly beard pirate stands over her with a sword pointing at her chest.

"I'm gonna teach you the meaning of pain!"

"Do you like pain?" Will said as he came up swinging a rod knocking the pirate away and down. He dropped the rod to help her stand up.

"Buffy, are you alright?"

She looked past Will to see a very sober Giles coming toward her. Buffy nodded and then caught sight of Willow and Alexander behind him. She then returned her look to Will. She smiled thankfully. He returned it and they were soon interrupted.

"What are you guys doing here?" Buffy asked as she kicked out at an approaching pirate.

"Mr. Giles was worried when he got your note. So we snuck aboard the Dauntless." Willow told her.

"I'm glad you guys are here. Can someone get me out of these? I can't feel my arms anymore." Buffy asked pleadingly.

"You three take care of them. I'll have Buffy free within minutes." Giles said reaching into his pocket for his lock picks.

Will, Alexander, and Willow began to hold the remaining pirates back. Giles began working on the lock. It had only taken Giles two minutes to unlock the chains and begin to unravel her. Giles was almost done when a pirate tried to attack. He pulled the chain hard sending Buffy spinning right into Will's arms. He caught her in one arm while still fighting the pirate with the other.

"I've got you." He said as he finally kicked the pirate away.

"Nice catch."

Buffy said as she looked up at him with such a loving smile. She began moving her arms and hissed at the pain it caused. He rubbed them to help start the circulation moving again.

"That helped a lot thanks."

Buffy was using two swords to fight with the scraggly beard pirate and Bo'sun.

"You be off the edge of the map, girlie." Bo'sun told her. "Here there be monsters."

"You're in luck then, I be a monster slayer."

Buffy said hitting them both hard and sending them flying. She had a few minutes and looked to check on the others. Seconds later Will was by her side. He pointed toward Jack and Barbossa fighting. Jack stabbed Barbossa with his sword and soon found it in his own chest. The two of them watched as Jack eyes went dramatically wide as he began to stagger back toward the moonlight. His body turned into a skeleton.

"That's interesting.' Jack moves the coins along his nimble fingers. "I couldn't resist, mate."

They both grabbed their swords and began fighting once again. A flash of light caught their attention and they turned to see two pirates be picked up in a blue light.

"Thanks Willow."

"How? Wha...?" Will asked. A look of shock upon his face.

"She's a witch, but she's a good one." Buffy said as she turned and hit a pirate.

She looked at Will's face. She was afraid that she was scaring him off until he took her hand and squeezed it tightly with a bright smile. Buffy picked up the rod Will dropped earlier. The two of them charged at three skeleton pirates that were trying to stab Alexander and Giles. The rod went through all three of them. Alexander picked up one of bombs from the cross-eyed pirate. He smiled mischievously as he lit the fuse and shoved into one. Will and Buffy pushed them out of the light. The five of them watched as the three pirates exploded. They then all turned to see Jack stab Barbossa in the back.

"Whose side is Jack on?" Will asked her.

"At the moment?" Buffy said. "I think it's time we end this."

Buffy ran for the mountain of treasure where the Aztec coins are. She sees Jack flip his coin. Reaching into her boot, she grabs a dagger and slices her palm. Grabbing the coin around her neck, she does a flip to catch his.

Barbossa sees Jack flip his coin toward the rest. Without looking he raises his gun and points it at Will. He stops dead in track. The sound of a single shot going off is the only sound heard as it echoes through the cavern. The shot had come from Jack with his look of determination.

"Ten years you carry that pistol and now you waste your shot." Barbossa spoke.

"He didn't waste it." Buffy said standing on top the case. She drops the two bloody coins in. Will let out a sigh and smiled.

Barbossa turns his head and looks at Jack in shock. He quickly pulls open his coat to see blood pouring out the bullet hole through his shirt. The shot was straight through the heart. A look of death came over Barbossa.

"I feel…cold." Barbossa falls dead to the ground. A green apple rolls out of his hand. Jack looks at him for a moment as a feeling of satisfaction came over him. He looked up to where the others were. Will had just reached Buffy.

"You did it!" Will said twirling her around once.

"No. We all did it, and that includes you Captain Jack Sparrow. I will be the first to admit that I couldn't have done it without you." Buffy said to Jack who was just coming up to join them.

"That almost sounded like a compliment luv."

"Don't let it go to your head Captain." Buffy said with a smile. "Willow, could you work some of that voodoo that you do so well?"

Willow rolled her eyes. "Put your injured hand on top of one another."

Willow whispered softly placing her hands on top of the top hands which happened to be Jack. Willow's hand began to glow and they all felt warm as the magic flowed through them.

"Done," said Willow. She removed her hands. Will and Jack both looked at their hands to see them totally healed.

"Thanks Willow. You're the best." Buffy said happily.

"Yeah, thanks luv." Jack said moving to look at the gold.

Giles came over to Buffy and hugged her tightly. He stroked her head before kissing her forehead.

"I'm sorry I haven't been there for you Buffy."

"It's okay Giles. I understood, and you're here for me now. I'm glad to have you back Giles."

"Thank you William. You saved her life twice tonight. I owe you." Giles said putting his hand out for Will to shake. "He talked his father into coming back for you for the greatest reason of all. I believe you have something you need to tell her."

Giles, Alexander, and Willow moved away so that Buffy and Will could talk. Buffy was pretty sure she knew what Giles was talking about, but she wanted to hear it from Will.

"What was the reason?" Buffy asked looking in those eyes. She could easily drown in his eyes.

"Love. I love you Buffy. I should have told you the first day I met you."

"I have dreamed of the day that I would hear those words come out of your lips William Turner. I love you too."

Will leaned in and gently placed his lips upon hers. Their first kiss was very gentle and soft. It was everything Buffy thought it would be and more. Will had placed his arm around her, which Buffy was glad because her legs were beginning to feel like jelly. The sound of clapping broke the couple apart. They looked at each for few seconds longer before turning to see Jack. He was loaded down with treasure.

"It took you two long enough. Now unless you plan to spend the rest of your lives here, I think we should be going."

"Yes, we should return to the Dauntless," said Will softly.

"If you be so kind, I'd be much obliged if you'd drop me off at my ship."

They all headed to the long boat. Giles and Alexander were rowing. Buffy was sitting beside Will, his arms wrapped around her. Willow sat beside Jack.

"I'm sorry, Captain Sparrow." Willow told him. Jack had found out that the crew of the Pearl did not wait for him.

"They done what's right by them. Can't expect more than that." Jack sounded do down that Buffy felt sorry for him.

Having returned to Port Royal was a happy and sad time. Buffy and Will were happy that they had found love in one another. Buffy was happy to have Giles back to his old self, but both Will and Buffy were sad for Jack who was schedule to hang that very afternoon. William being the Governor's son had to be there and since Buffy loved him, she was there for support. She watched as they escorted Jack to the gallows. Jack's face was void of all emotions.

"Jack Sparrow, be it known that you…" The man reading the charges spoke.

"Captain. Captain Jack Sparrow." Jack whispered annoyed that they kept leaving the Captain off of his title.

"Said crimes being numerous in quantity and sinister in nature. The most egregious of these to be cited herewith; piracy, smuggling…" The charger continued.

Will shook his head at what was happening before him. He looked to Buffy

"This is wrong."

"Commodore Norrington is bound by the law," said Governor Turner. "As are we all."

"It's still wrong," repeated Will.

"You're right and some should do something about it." Buffy said.

She tore of the bottom of her dress to reveal the mahogany pants she was wearing. She leapt into the air above the crowd. Several members of the crowd gasped as she landed on a tall man's shoulders.

"Pardon me sir."

She said as she leapt again this time landing next to Jack. She pushed the guy reading the charges away. Pulling out a dagger she quickly cut the ropes that bound Jack's hand. The executioner came at her with an axe. She dodged it.

"Jack! Head for the edge! Swim for your life! The Pearl is waiting for you." Buffy said as she kicked at the executioner sending him flying. "I'll hold them back."

Buffy had saw the Pearl earlier that day and had even talked to Anamaria about what she had planned.

"What about you luv?" Jack asked her.

"I'll be fine go." Buffy said as she jumped down to deal with the approaching guards.

Jack nodded as he quickly ran to the edge and jumped. Buffy dodged another sword not having brought hers. She jumped out of the way and then jumped on the platform and up the gallows, where she sat. Norrington's men raised their rifles at her. She put her hands up in a show of surrender.

"I'm coming down." Buffy told them as she heard several guns cock.

"Do not worry gentlemen, I am threw fighting and surrender myself to you."

She dropped down easily. The guards kept their rifles on Buffy while Norrington, Will, The Governor, and a few of his men watched as Jack swam toward the ship that had come from behind the cliff. Will smiled and turned to check on Buffy. The soldiers parted allowingWill, who was soon followed by his father and Norrington, to approach Buffy.

"Are you all right?" Will asked.

"I'm fine not even a scratch. Can't say the same for the Commodore's men." She responded as a few of them had finally regained consciousness.

"I thought we might endure some ill-conceived escape attempt." Norrington said. "How could you let him get away? He's a pirate."

"And a good man." Buffy said. "Both, Will and I owe him our lives. The terms of his capture were unfair as he had no choice but to come with us or be stranded there. He could have left us to Barbossa and his crew, but he didn't. For saving my life and Will's I had to return the favor. My conscience is clear."

"You forget your place Miss Summers." Norrington said.

"It's right here with William. I can never forget that." She replied as Will took her hand and gave it a tight squeeze.

"Lower your weapons." Norrington called out. The guards lowered their weapons.

"Commodore, I accept the consequences of my actions." Buffy told him.

"Miss Summers, for what you did today you should hang from the gallows." Norrington held his hand up to stave off the protest. "But, that would be a great loss of someone who so skilled in the arts. Take my sword for example; I was looking it over when I noticed two small marks down by the hilt. Upon closer examination, I saw that marks were the letters B and S. I would expect the woman who made it to show the same care in every aspect of her life."

"Thank you Commodore." Buffy said kissing him on the cheek. The Commodore and his men began to leave.

"Commodore! What about Sparrow?" A soldier asked.

"Well, I think we can afford to give him one day's head start." Norrington said as continued to walk away.

Both Buffy and Will smiled at that. She looked up at the approach of the Governor. He smiled at both of them.

"I can see you're going to keep my son on his feet. It'll be interesting having a blacksmith in the family." The governor said.

"No." Will said running a hand through her hair. "She's a pirate."

Will brought her close for a long passionate kiss that lasted for several minutes. When they broke apart they were both smiling happily.

THAT'S IT! I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT. I HAVE AN IDEA FOR A SEQUEL, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE ONE. LET ME KNOW.

PLEASE REVIEW!
