Back on Purgatory Island, Will creeps through the undergrowth, eyes darting from side to side, searching for any signs of danger. Up ahead, the distant rumble of the enchanted sea can be heard, but so can, much closer to Will, the ferocious growling of the predatory Guardian. Will has lost his sword and is clutching a large stick that he has managed to whittle to a sharp point; he is apparently assessing whether or not he can make it to the sanctuary of the beach without being caught. He goes for it, hurtling through the wilderness like a madman. A feral scream is emitted from the unseen and nearby Guardian as it gives chase, tree and plants crashing over in its wake. Will is running very fast, and the beach is growing nearer and nearer and... BAM! Will trips and falls flat on his face. He winces, waiting for the creature to jump on him and tear him to pieces. But there is only silence. Will climbs to his feet, still clutching his make-shift spear, and grins rather smugly to himself, before turning around in the direction of the beach -RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! The Guardian springs up before him, talons bared, knocking Will's spear flying. Will is knocked back against a tree, where he bangs his head and loses consciousness. The Guardian sniffs at him evilly, before lifting him up in its beak, slinging the body over its back and heading off into the jungle.
Back on the 'Flying Dutchman', Barbossa slumps down on the deck looking uncharacteristically miserable. He has just been told the fate that met that met his old ship, the 'Black Pearl' - devoured by a Kraken - and that his Piece of Eight went too. He complains to Jack that the coins will only work if they are all brought together, and seven alone would have no effect. They are doomed. Gibbs comments that the weather is not the only thing turning dark this day. From nearby, pretending not to listen, is Roland the warlock. Though he is still exhausted from opening the portal to Davy Jones' locker, he is intrigued by the fate of the 'Pearl', especially its consumption by the fabled Kraken. Elizabeth notices his interest and walks over to him, asking what is wrong. Roland explains that Davy Jones (now Norrington) is the Devil of the seas, and that all devils have minions to do their work for them; the Guardian is the gaoler of Purgatory Island, the Barnacled crew are the foot soldiers, and the Kraken is the gatekeeper of Purgatory. The Kraken is only summoned when it is a seaman's turn to go to Purgatory e.g. Jack's demise. If one were to slay the Kraken, it would not only take away Norrington's greatest servant, but also open the gates to anything trapped in Purgatory. Elizabeth comments that the 'Black Pearl's' wreckage mysteriously vanished from the seabed after its destruction, at the same time the Kraken disappeared. Roland says that if they can somehow summon the Kraken to fight against the 'Dutchman' and they can kill it, then the gates to Purgatory should be opened and anything being held there be released. Elizabeth asks whether that means Will too, but Roland shakes his head, adding that Jack and Will entered Purgatory on their own volition, and were not taken there by the Kraken or Davy Jones as they should have been. "He belongs to the Guardian know," Roland comments sourly.
Elizabeth and Roland relay their plan to Jack, Barbossa, Gibbs and the rest of the crew, and receive a cold reception. Not many of them are anxious to face the beast again, given the fate that met them last time; Ragetti and Pintel are positively terrified. Gibbs calls it a "fools errand", whilst Jan remains blissfully ignorant, with his lack of knowledge of the dark forces of the sea. However, Jack and Barbossa warm steadily to the idea; Barbossa states that any creature responsible for destroying his ship (Jack flinches at this) should meet its end sooner rather than later. Jack says "That beastie was the only thing to get the better of me - well, except for that lass in Grenada, she was a fair old (sees Elizabeth's look), anyway, I say let's go for it... uhm, aargh!" Jack's attempts to appear all violently pirate-like in front of Barbossa fail miserably, drawing a silent reaction from the crew, at which Barbossa looks faintly amused. "All hands on deck!" Jack shouts, "Get to work!" But Pintel raises a hand nervously, "Uh 'ow are we supposed to make the Kraken thing come to us?" Jack ponders this a while and looks at Barbossa, Gibbs and Roland, who all shake their heads and shrug. Elizabeth comments that the Kraken used to serve the 'Dutchman' and there must be some way of summoning the creature via the ship. The crew all look blank, but suddenly Jack's eyes fall upon the huge organ of coral (played by Davy Jones in DMC) jutting out from the deck, covered in items of dirty clothing belonging to the crew. Jack stares at the organ and a smile spreads across his lips.
Back aboard the 'First' vessel, the captain still stands regally at the port side, staring out to sea. The fog is thick around the ship. In the background, dozens of shadowy crewmen work tirelessly, though their movements seem perfect, almost serene. One crewman throws a rope over board, whilst another scales the mast to the Crow's Nest. It appears that the dark vessel is nearing its destination. But the Captain still does not move. From below, the cloaked and hooded figure of Bootstrap Bill approaches, an object glimmering in his hand, though he stuffs it into his pocket quickly. "They have my son," he says monotonously to the Captain, receiving no reply. "We will go there first," Bootstrap states. He gazes up at the clouds above, which appear to be forming shapes in the sky, one of which has a mast and sails and an aft and port... it is a ship. Bootstrap smiles, "The message has been sent. The Brethren will gather." And with these words, the 'First' carries on through the gloom across the calm ocean waves.
Jack and the crew stand around the bizarre organ looking dumfounded. Everyone is casting nervous glances at the other. "So," Jack says, "Can anyone play?" No one says anything, and a few of the pirates laugh at the mere suggestion that one of them could play a musical instrument. But, slowly but surely, a hand rises into the air. The crowd parts to see whom it is. It is Ragetti. "Bloody hell," breathe Jack, Gibbs and Elizabeth at the same time. Pintel looks at Ragett and says, "You can't play the organ." Ragetti replies, "Yes I can, I learnt ages ago." Pintel presses, "You never told me." "You never asked," says Ragetti. Jack, growing slightly annoyed, says, "Wonderful! Sorry to break up this touching reunion, but could you just play." Ragetti smirks at Pintel, who looks far from happy, and sits himself down at the organ, complaining because the stool is made from coral bone and is used to leather cushions - "Just play!" orders Jack. "What should I play?" asks Ragetti. "Something pretty," Jack says, and begins swaying as Ragetti begins to play a wonderful little tune that echoes out across the ocean from the organ's hollow keys. As the music plays, Elizabeth stares out across the ocean, and is joined by Gibbs, who says that he is sure Will will be all right and they will get him back. Elizabeth is less certain. Ragetti finishes the lovely tune to rapturous applause, accept from the sulking Pintel, and the crew wait. Jack shrugs, commenting that detecting squids isn't one of his known traits. But from the cabin doorway, skulking in the shadows, Roland says, "It is coming." Jack asks how he can possibly know, but Roland just says, "I can feel it. It is coming. Very soon." The men suddenly look terrified, as Jack and a now verbal Barbossa roar at them to man their battle stations and prepare for battle. Elizabeth grabs a rifle and shimmies up the mast to the Crow's Nest. As the crew wait, the heavens open, and the rain begins to fall...
