Author's Notes: Basic idea for this came from the background info I found about Jack Sparrow at Wikipedia. Set long before the movie.
How can we win when fools can be kings?
Don't waste your time or time will waste you
No-one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
"Captain! Captain!" Panicked faces flashed before him, screaming, shouting. Everything was a blur. He could smell the smoke, and it was making his eyes water.
"Put out the blaze!" he shouted, coughing, but he knew it was too late. The Wicked Wench, his pride and joy, was engulfed by flames. It would soon sink.
He looked towards the ship anchored alongside them, saw the coldly smiling face of Cutler Beckett. This was an outrage. This man, cold and evil, had sanctioned the destruction of the East India Trading Company's own vessel, all because the Captain wouldn't transport slaves.
"Bastard!" the Captain screamed, tears streaming down his face. He caught the shocked glances of his crew at his choice of language.
"What shall we do, Captain?" the first mate asked.
"Since my ship is sinking, Jack Sparrow will do just fine." He ripped the powdered wig from his head and tossed it to the deck, eyes flashing.
"Yes, Jack, but what-?"
Jack sighed, closing his eyes a moment. "Abandon ship."
