chapter 9

Jack was tying his sword around his waist. Lizzie and Jackie were waiting for him so they can leave before the cannibles show up.

"Lets move." he said. Then, they made a dash for the beach. Lizzie fell and Jackie rushed to her need.

"Lizzie! Are you okay?" he said

"I'm fine. Just gonna get a bruise." she responded. She got back up and reached the beach.

"Okay, Where's the ship?" Lizzie asked. Jackie pulled out his spyglass and saw the Pearl far in the distance, but not that far.

"I see it!" he said, "It's over that way!"

"Jackie, I think you need to look over this way." Lizzie said, looking in the opposite direction. Jackie turned and saw the cannible tribe running towards them.

"Oh boy. Um...Lizzie, take the chest and run to the ship as fast as possible. We'll catch up." Jackie told Lizzie, but he noticed a look of worry on her face as he gave her the chest, "It's okay. We're going to come back alive. Now run!" She did that, as fastas possible for her, which is pretty fast. Jack and Jackie were able to see her leave a dusty wake.

"She's amazing, isn't she?" Jack asked

"Yeah." Jackie responded. He stared at her as she ran, but not for long. The cannibles were getting closer. Lizzie was running and running and running. As she approached the ship, she saw Will and some other guy and she was running and repeatedly yelling Wills name. Then, she crashed into him.

"It's not good when one comes back. It's about time we sail on." the other guy said

"Wait! We cann't leave without Jack." Will said

"Or Jackie." Then all three of them saw the two Sparrow boys running and yelling as the cannibles were chasing them.

"Lets go!" Will said

"Fine by me!" Lizzie said. There was rope that Will and the other guy climbed up.

"Lizzie come on! We have to leave." Will said

"Not without Jackie!" she yelled back at him, "Lower another rope!" Another rope was lowered and Lizzie tied it around her waist. As Jack and Jackie were getting closer, a plan was forming in Lizzies mind.

"Will! When I give the signal, shoot a cannon into the sand! Then pull me up!" she yelled. Jack and Jackie arrived.

"Jack, climb the rope. Jackie, may I borrow your sword?" she said. Jackie got the idea and gave her his sword. The two climbed the rope and Lizzie dove into the pack of cannibles. She didn't want to kill them, just drive them away. So using the swords she sliced all of their spears in two to frighten them and occasionally gave them a good strong punch anywhere she can reach.

"NOW!" she yelled. Will fired a cannon and shot it at the ground. There was sand everywhere as Lizzie was pulled up and onto the ship. It began to sail when she reached the floor. Everybody was cheering Lizzies name because of her bravery.

"Lizzie! Jackie! You deserve to see what's in the chest." Jack called. The three of them went into the room carrying the chest. Interestingly, they all saw another Lizzie!

"Um, hi. I'll just be, uh, going now." she said. A vortex appeared next to her and she exited through it.

"Ooookaaay, that was wierd." the real Lizzie said.

"Inside this chest is a magical device."Jack said. He then used a dark black key to open the chest. When the key turned, small bars stuck out on the side and everyone heard a pop.Jack opened it and the others looked in. Inside in the middle propped up was a small ring.

"This is it? This is what we nearly got killed over? What a rip off!" Jackie said

"This ring is magical. It allows the wearer to go back. This is the ring of the past." Jack said, dramatically.

"A ring that travels to the past? Let me see." Lizzie said while grabbing it, "I'll go...When should I go? How about five minutes ago.?" a vortex appeared next to her and she went through to the room five minutes ago. It was empty, until past Jack, Jackie, and Lizzie came in and saw her. She felt a bit sheepish about being seen.

"Um, hi. I'll just be, uh, going now." she said. A vortex appeared next to her and she went through it.

"That was an akward moment of silence back then." Lizzie said

"Wow, it works." Jackie said

"See? Give me the ring back and then you can leave." Jack said. They obeyed and left. The Pearl was far, far away from the island. Lizzie stayed on deck, rather than go up to the nest. Jack came up to her, still with the wierd make up on, and had a quick chat.

"Lizzie, because of your great bravery, skill, and strength, from now on, during a battle situation, you take all charge of defense." he said. Lizzie gave him a big hug and he gave a very quick and very small hug back, Jackie was right behind her. When she turned she bumped into him.

"Lizzie.. um.. I...Congrats." he said. Lizzie was hoping that he might say more things, but had a small look of disappointment.

"If you were waiting for the oppotune moment, that was it." Jack said. Lizzie wandered over to the side and looked out to the ocean. Jackie approached her with all his courage and Jack went to work with some ropes.

"Lizzie? I know I'm not as strong as you, but you are the most amazing person I know. Like Jack said, You're brave, you have great skills, and you're strong, I'm, not. But, there's something I have to say. Lizzie I..." Jackie couldn't say anything when Lizzie saw something bubbling in the water, a short distance away.

"What's that?" she said. Slowly, out of the water came a gigantic ship, a galleon. The two could do nothing but stare in awe. A monstrous voice was heard from aboard it.

"Jack Sparooow!" It yelled. Cannon doors were opening on the sides and everyone looked at Jack, who just had one thing to say.

"Oh bugger."

"Friend of yours Jack?" Lizzie asked

"That galleon belongs to Davvy Jones! Lizzie take charge!" Jack said "Lizzie took Jack hat off and put it on her head.

"All right! Get the chains out and aim them from top to bottom, mast to crew!" she said, waiting for them to load them, "Ready? Aim, Fire!" she yelled. Many loud bangs were heard and seen on the ship. Crew members went flying and the mast fell. Just when everyone was about to cheer, time reversed itself on the mast and it repaired itself. Lizzie thought long and hard.

"Okay, take every cannon and put it on this side. All the cannons and guns and aim them anywhere and everywhere on the ship. Ready? Aim, Fire!" she said. There were many defeaning blasts and much smoke all around. When the smoke settled, they saw nothing wrong.

"All the cannons and guns, not even a scratch" she said, "Okay, everyone, remain completely and totally silent!" Everybody did that and lizzie closed her eyes and focused on the ship. She heard the bellowing voice and her mouth lip synced with his words.

"Summon the Kraken!" the voice said. Lizzie opened her eyes and had a confused look on her face.

"Kraken? What in the world is a kraken?" she asked. Her question was answered as tentacles were crawling up tthe ship. Everyone started to run around panicking. Jack, Jackie, Will, Elizabeth, and Lizzie drew their swords and were ready for anything. Jackie got a tentacle in his sights and tryed to slash through by swinging his sword like a baseball bat, but somehow, it got stuck in it. He was holding onto the sword, but the tentacle was rising with Jackie attached.

"Jackie!" Lizzie said while running to grab him. She was being lifted with him. Then Will grabbed on. Then Elizabeth and Jack. The entire crew was trying to pull Jackie free, while the tentacle was trying to pull Jackie down.

"Man, when something gets stuck in its tentacle, it's stuck." Lizzie said, "Wait! If this thing is this strong, why didn't it destroy the ship already?" Finally, Jackie was pulled down. Lizzie grabbed a great bunch of ropes, tied them all together, tied one end to a peg, and climbed up to the nest where there was an unused pulley. Jackie was close on her heels. Lizzie attached the rope to the pulley and tied the other end to her waist.

"Lizzie! What in the world are you doing?" Jackie asked.

"Jackie, will you trust me and do whatever I ask you and listen to what I say no matter what it is?" Lizzie asked in on breath. Jackie nodded, as Lizzie tightened the ropes to make sure they're secure. She climbed back down and started waving her arms. She was then grabbed by a tentacle.

"Lizzie! No!" Jackie yelled, grabbing her hand. Everyone else grabbed on.

"Jackie, when I say let go do it." Lizzie said

"Lizzie are you CRAZY? I wont let you go, I cann't!" he yelled

"Now you know how I felt when we were on the island, but this has to be done. Trust me. Pull me back in two tugs, no sooner." she said. Tears were appearing in both of their eyes. She took off Jacks hat and gave it to Jackie with her free hand.

"Let go!" Lizzie said. Jackie echoed her words to the crew to let go. She flew through the air like a cannon ball and landed in the nest on Davvys ship. There was someone in the nest that Lizzie landed on. She took his sword.

"I'm gonna need this for later" she said to herself. Back on the Pearl, Jackie was thinking of what Lizzie said and what she was doing. He wanted to talk to Jack to see if he got it straight.

"If the kraken was so strong why didn't it destroy the ship already? It took the entire crew to rescue me, so why did it not destroy the ship?" Jackie said, while thinking.

"Maybe, it's not trying to destroy the ship."Jack said

"It's trying to destroy the people who were on the ship."

"And one of those people, were Lizzie!"

"She's luring the kraken over to attack Davvys ship!" They said simultaneously. Jackie pulled out his spyglass to watch her plan come into action. Sure enough, he saw a tentacle reaching over to their ship. She raced down their rope ladder and used the guys sword to stick the tentacle to the deck. She went along the deck taking swords and sticking the tentacles to the deck.

"I think I've got it. She's luring the Kraken over there and making it stick to the deck with the swords. When the swords arestuck, nobody could pull it out." Jackie said

"Okay. I stuck about six tentacles, and squids have seven." Lizzie said to herself. She took someones sword and stuck the final tentacle.

"Lizzie! Lookout for the squid face!" Jackie yelled at the top of his lungs. She turned around and saw someone that was basically a squid face. She held her sword up to brace herself, but he used his sword to cut her ropes. Then, he attacked her with his sword. She was holding her own but it wasn't working.With his sword, he sent her sword flying into the ocean. She jumped in after it into the water.

"Come on Lizzie come back up. Come on."Jackie said, clenching his fists. From the depths of water, came a billowing inky black cloud.

"No. LIZZIIIIE! I've got to save her!" he yelled

"No! She's a big girl, and she's a Turner. She can do it." Will said, but his expression showed a sign of worry like Jackies. Jackie was holding onto the rope and praying for two tugs. It felt as if she was gone. Just then, two very faint tugs.

"Lizzie? Pull her rope, Now!" Jackie said, "Ready, and heave!" Everyone pulled and up and out of the inky black water she came, covered in inky black water and holding onto her sword. She safely landed on her back on the deck.

"Get a towel! NOW!" Jackie said, "Lizzie? A..Are you all right?" Lizzie opened her eyes and coghed out morewater.

"Jackie, remind me never to do that again." she said. Jackie had a laugh and gave her a big hug.

"Oh! Did I miss the show?" she said

"What show?" Elizabeth asked

"Well, when I was down in the water getting my sword, I remembered on Animal Planet that a squids weakest point is its eye. So, I stabbed him in the eye! And with no way to flee or attack, he unleashed the ink, but now watch." she said, going over to the side. Everyone went over to watch as the tentacles pulled and yanked the ship to and fro. Unitl, it crashed on its side in the water! When the ship hit the water, it vanished, but it still had means of celebration. Lizzie went up to the front and dried off, a big smile on her face. She head almost completely dried off, until she reached her feet. They were both surrounded by black fire and it was growing up her legs. She was running and panicking to Jack and Jackie.

"Jackie?" she said, her body almost entirely in fire. She tripped and fell into Jackies arms, but when she was about to land, she vanished.

"Lizzie? What happened? Where's Lizzie?" he started asking Jack angrily.

"That's how I vanished when I wanted to make a deal with Davvy Jones. I'm sorry Jackie, but she's now his little captive." Jack calmly responded

"No. NO, there has to be a way to rescue her!" Jackie yelled, while holding onto Jacks shirt.

"Right now," Jack said "The only one who could save her, is herself."
