Hi guys! Sorry it took so long to update, but the amount of homework i've been getting is ridiculous! Also, Smithy: the way Will speaks is deliberate. He realised he was a pirate at the end of the movie, and since he met Jack at the beginning of the story, he tries to speak like a pirate to fit in. Maybe i should've made that clearer...

Anyway, read on!

Ruby screamed. Jack stood stock still, staring at Jimbo's decaying body. Johnny turned around and threw up in the corner. Will put a hand on Jack's shoulder.

"Ruby…" Jack said weakly. Ruby was still screaming. She turned to him, fury in her eyes.

"No…no," She whispered, shaking her head slowly. "He did not… he never… SCARR YOU BASTARD COME DOWN HERE!" She suddenly screamed and kicked the cell door.

Nobody answered.

"Scarr! You bastard! You cheatin', lyin', piece of scum! Yeh filthy bastard come here!" Ruby screamed. She shook the bars of the cell.

Footsteps were heard coming down the stairs. Scarr appeared, looking murderous.

"Don't yeh dare insult me." He said quietly. But Ruby was beyond caring.

"Yeh just murdered my father! Yeh filthy, lyin' cheating coward!" She screamed at him.

"I'm warning yeh!" Scarr said, his voice rising. "I don't like people shouting at me-"

"What yeh gonna do?" Ruby demanded, laughing. "Hurt Jack? I don't give a –" A string of foul words and curses followed this.

"Really?" Scarr said, pulling out his sword.

"There's no use tryin' t' call my bluff, 'coz I don't care!" Ruby shouted at him. "Fight me! Fight me!" Ruby was screaming and shouting, kicked the bars and spiting at Scarr. "I'll bloody kill yeh!"

Scarr laughed at her then, which was a mistake on his part, as he received a face-full of spit from Ruby. He wiped it away, anger flashing in his eyes.

"Yeh can't kill me, Ruby." He said, with a satisfied smirk.

"Yeh wanna bet?" Ruby said, quietly. Her eyes flashed dangerously.

"Ruby-" Jack began.

"Shut up, Jack." Ruby snapped at him. Scarr paused, looking at Ruby.

"Ok then. Yeh think yeh can kill me, have a go." He unlocked the cell door and pulled Ruby out. "Dasher!" He called. A large pirate appeared.

"Cap'n?" He said.

"Bring these." Scarr indicated to Jack, Johnny and Will, who were watching the whole affair in stunned silence. "I want them to watch their friend's death."

"No!" Jack said. "Don't kill her!"

"Shut up, Jack." Scarr snapped, pulling Ruby's arm roughly, leading her out onto the deck.

The pirate pushed Jack forwards and grabbed Johnny's arm leading them out too. Will followed weakly.

Scarr pushed Ruby away from him and threw her a sword. She caught it easily.

"That's cheatin'" She said, as Scarr pulled out his sword.

"Fine." Scarr threw his own sword onto the deck and pulled out Dasher's sword. "Come here." Ruby shot him a suspicious look. He rolled his eyes and pulled her closer. He laid the blade lightly on her skin.

"Agreed it's not cursed?" He said. Ruby nodded and pulled her arm away. "Good."

Scarr suddenly lunged into an attack and Ruby had to step backwards and block a vicious blow. They parried for some time; Scarr attacking, Ruby blocking. She was very good, though, and managed to keep up.

"Wow, she's good." Jack muttered. Next to him, Johnny was rubbing the small scar on his face, where Ruby had struck him back on the Hornet, unconsciously. Jack almost smiled.

Scarr suddenly lunged forwards and struck Ruby on the shoulder. She had blocked most of the blow, though it would have been fatal if she had been taller. A small gash appeared and began bleeding. She ignored it and continued blocking Scarr's oncoming blows, with a grim expression.

"Give up, gal." Scarr said, stepping backwards, lowering his sword. That was his first mistake.

Ruby stabbed out at him, and caught his arm. It began bleeding badly. A furious look came into his eyes and he swung his sword at Ruby, who jumped backwards to avoid it. He attacked once more, and slashed wildly and pushed her into the mast. Her elbow went straight into it and she heard something snap.

She yelped and took her sword in her left hand.

Jack put a hand to his face and refused to watch.

Ruby was not as good with her left hand, but she still managed to put up a good fight. But now her arm was throbbing painfully, and she was tired. She hadn't slept or eaten much in the past few days and it was beginning to show.

This was when Scarr made his second mistake. He pushed Ruby to the floor with his fist. She fell heavily and back away from him, breathing heavily. Scarr underestimated her, and she knew it. Her sword was still gripped tightly in her hand.

Scarr put his sword to her throat. She eyed it wearily.

"Yeh can't beat me, Ruby." He said. Jack realised just how alike he was to his brother then.

Ruby bowed her head and winced.

Scarr laughed at her and dropped his sword.

"I won't kill ye," He said. "It'd be a waste of effort." That was his third and final mistake. Ruby suddenly lunged forwards and threw all her might onto her sword, which went straight through Scarr.

Scarr gasped and fell backwards. Ruby stood up and pulled the sword roughly out, twisting it as she went. Scarr groaned. It might not kill him but he still felt it. Blood began to drip out of his body.

"Ruby!" Jack said, eyes wide with amazement.

"It won't kill him!" Johnny said, suddenly remembering what Scarr had told them.

Ruby stood up shaking badly.

"Only his own sword can kill him, but it wont pierce him." Will murmured.

An idea flashed into Ruby's mind suddenly. She spotted Scarr's sword lying where he had left it. She darted forwards and grabbed the sword. A blinding pain shot through her hand and she screamed, but she could not let go.

"Ruby!" Jack screamed.

Ruby ignored him and took a deep breath. She jumped forwards and plunged the sword into Scarr's wound.

Scarr screamed. He trashed around, and the sword fell away.

The same mould that had covered Jimbo and Gibbs crept through Scarr's body, and his screams died away and he fell still.

Ruby stared in shock at what she'd done. The pain from the sword had faded, and she slowly realised she now owned it.

"Ruby?" Jack said quietly. Ruby turned around.

"I…I killed him." Ruby said. The pirate holding Jack and Johnny backed away.

Ruby suddenly felt faint; her arm was hurting badly and she was tired. Blackness swept across her vision and she collapsed onto the deck.

Well, we're nearly done! Oh yes, #hugs# to everyone that reviewed; i love you all!
