(A/N:I'm not good at writing fight scenes so this chapter begins on the Pearl as the Kraken is attacking. Everything happened
as it did in the movie)
(NINE)
The crew fire the cannons, hitting the tentacles of the Kracken and nearly severing some.
The Kraken sinks into the sea, some tentacles glowing from the blast.
"Did we kill it?" Marty asked.
"It'll be back. " Will said.
"No. We just made it angry. We're not out of this yet."Gibbs exlcaimed." Captain! Orders!"
"Abandon ship. Into the longboat." Jack said sadly.
" Jack! The Pearl!"
"She's only a ship, mate."
" He's right, we have to head for land." Will said a plan forming in his mind.
"'S a lot o' open wa'er." Pintel said nervously.
"That's a lot o' wa'er." Ragetti agreed.
"We have to try. We can get away as it takes down the Pearl." Elizabeth said.
"Abandon ship. Abandon ship or abandon hope." came Gibbs' voice.
Jack walks over to the mas caressing it softly and Will came up behind him. Jack turned around and stared at Will warily
and leaned against the mast.
"If your gonna yell at me some more Will...wait till we're on land...I don't feel like dealing with it right now."
Will walked up to him until he was standing directly in fron of Jack. He moved so quickly that Jack didn't have time to
register what just happened until he looked down at his hand that was now shackled to the mast thanks to Will.
"It's after you, not the ship. It's not us. This is the only way, don't you see? If you really loved Elizabeth you know.
I'm not sorry."
"Pirate..."
Will shook his head and climbed down into the longboat.
"Where's Jack?" Elizabeth asked.
"He elected to stay behind to give us a chance." Will replied.
The crew look uncertain and Elizabeth stood up prepared to climb up and get Jack but Will
pulled her down and looked at the crew.
"Go!"
They cast off and the longboat heads away from the ship.
Elizabeth was hysterical as she watched the Kraken rise up and pull the Pearl down into the sea along with it's captain.
Jack looked down and struggled with his manacles..
"Bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger...!"
He looked around and seen a coconut and cannonball roll by, on the tilted deck.
Jack spots a fallen lantern, and reaches out to pick it up with the tip of his sword.
He pulls his sword up fast and breaks the lantern against the mast, then pours the
oil over his wrists.
He struggles with slipping his hand out...
"Come on... Come on..." he says slightly frantic.
Jack finally manages to slip his hands out and turns just as the Kraken rises up on the
side of the ship.
He looks at it for a moment before turning and running over to the other side of the ship.
He looked back over his shoulder and tipped his head as he spoke..."See ya some other time..."
and proceeds to jump off the side of the ship.
The remaining crew paddles through the waters to Tia Dalma's shack
many natives stand in the waters surrounding the shack, holding candles, mourning
Jack Sparrow inside the shack, Will absent-mindedly keeps throwing his father's knife into
the table top.
Tia carries a tray around to all of them, offers the mugs to Elizabeth.
"Against de cold... and de sorrow." Tia says quietly.
Elizabeth takes a mug but doesn't drink.
"It's a shame. I know you're t'inking that wid the Pearl, you coulda captured the devil
and set free your fadder's soul."
"Doesn't matter now. The Pearl's gone. Along with its captain." Will said.
Gibbs is standing in the doorway on the side of the shack and turns to speak up.
"Aye. And already the world seems a bit less bright. He fooled us all right to the end. But
I guess that honest streak finally won out. To Jack Sparrow!"
"Never another like Captain Jack." Ragetti toasted.
"He was a gentleman of fortune, he was." Pintel toasted
"He...He was...a good man." Elizabeth said sadly
They all take a drink out of their mugs, except Elizabeth.
Will looks over at Elizabeth and feels guilty for what he's done.
"If there was anything could be done to bring him back... Elizabeth..."
"Would you do it? Hmmm? What... would you? Hmmm? What would any of you be
willing to do? Hmmm? Would you sail to the ends of the eart', and beyond, to fetch back
witty Jack and 'im precious Pearl?" Tia asked.
"Aye." Gibbs said.
"Aye." Pintel said.
"Aye." Ragetti said.
"Awk! Aye." Cotton's parrot said.
"Yes."Elzabeth said hopefully.
"Aye."Will said.
"Alright. But if you're goin' brave de weird, and haunted shores, at world's end, den...
you will need a captain who knows dose waters."exclaimed Tia.
They all look up as they hear a man's boots on the steps and move to get a closer look. Elizabeth gasped as the man
stopped at the foot of the stairs.
"So tell me, what's become of my ship?"Barbossa asked as he bit into a green apple monkey Jack on his shoulder.
