We're back folks!
And Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here! I am so glad I manage to post this before Thanksgiving ended. Now I can go home and eat my turkey in peace.
"Wait...You said you don't like turk-" Maverick almost said.
SHHH! They don't know that!...Hehe Just kidding folks.
But first. Just a quick heads up to everyone. I used a famous scene from Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2 in this chapter for Barbossa's crew.
"LOL! Can you guess what it is when you see it?!" Maverick asked the readers. "It was my idea! All me!"
Also since Christmas is around the corner, I'm going to release a few One Shot's about Aiden's first Christmas in Arendelle, and then some about Victoria's first Christmas ever with the family. If anyone has any ideas for it. Let me know okay?
Now to answer some comments!
KingdomWarrior125: Lol! Don't worry I got your PM, I'm going with your other idea you sent me. Thank you for your support! I'm glad you enjoy my stories as always.
Haxorus knight: Actually no, Stormur has control over his powers. Is just that when it comes to the combind might of allies coming together. With strong hearts and a great light. It's too much for someone as dark as Dianex to handle. As Sora stated. 'My friends are my power'. But good guess though.
olehbilenko93: LOL! Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying it! Here's another cool one about pirates.
RustyPete12: LOL! I know! Maverick is a mad comedic genius. Plus your going to love this! Remember that idea you posted to me a while back? It's happening in this chapter! *Wink*.
SPYRO 101: Thank you! And many more to come!
Alright! Now that we're all here.
LET'S GET DANGEROUS!
The Blood Of A Pirate
Back on the Interceptor…
The ship sailed at a good course as it retreated from the cursed Isla de Muerta and the Black Pearl. With Aiden's help and his powers. He gave their ship a touch up to keep them from being caught by the enemy. Jack Sparrow was still absent after his failure to double cross Will back on the Island. His ambition was clear from the start to Aiden, so he was thinking good riddance. What was important is that he has a plan to take down Barbosa and his crew. Know them as pirates, they'll try to follow the Interceptor. So Aiden set up a trap for them on a trail he left for them to follow. As a small victory. Elizabeth was now safe and sound on the ship She was with Will and the Guardians, telling them everything that happened and everything she had seen.
Sora standing next to Kairi while she used her new keyblade healing spell to heal the cut on Elizabeth's hand. She inspected the cut and then casted the healing spell the same way everyone else does. Once that was done Elizabeth thanked Kairi who smiled and nodded in return. Aiden was leaning his shoulder against the wall while listening. while everyone else was either sitting or standing.
"So all of this is about a cursed Aztec treasure that turned Barbossa's crew into a literal skeleton crew, who are partially dead and the only way for them out of their sentence is with every piece of gold coin returned along with the blood of a dead pirate's child." Victoria listed everything they heard.
"Unfortunately to the point, yes." Elizabeth nodded. "And it seems that Sparrow's so-called 'leverage' didn't work either."
Some of the guardians, including Sora, were disappointed to hear about what Jack almost tried to do with Will. Trading him in to Barbossa's crew in exchange for the Black Pearl.
"I never trusted Jack. Despite all of his sailing skills and so-called good intentions. He only helped us to benefit himself." Victoria frowned.
"What sort of a man trade's a man's life for a ship?" Elizabeth said in disgust.
"A pirate." Will answered simply.
"I am Groot." Baby Groot added while sitting on an accent table. Translate: "And Corporate America."
Aiden snickered at the little tree's comment. "What's the difference?" He muttered a quipped.
"Gawrsh, if Barbossa and his crew haven't lifted their curse yet. Then they're gonna come after us to get that medallion back." Goofy figured out.
"With all these people on board, lives will be put at risk if they found us." Kairi pointed out.
"Lousy pirates." Donald grumbled.
"We can't put it past a bunch of desperate pirates. Once they find us. They'll kill everyone just to get the medallion back." Sora said. "Not to mention Stormur will make things even more difficult."
Aiden thought of something while looking out the window. Out in the distance he saw an island, abandoned off the coast of Caribbean. He figured it would be a perfect setup for a little stage he had in mind. All he needed was the means to lore Barbossa's crew there.
"Not if we make it difficult for them first." Aiden spoke up.
"Huh?" Sora tilted his head.
Aiden held his hand out asking Elizabeth for her medallion necklace. "May I? Just for a second?"
Elizabeth didn't see a problem with it so she took the necklace off and handed it to Aiden. Will didn't get a good look at the symbol yet, apparently it was still covered with blood to even see. Aiden cleared the blood off and scanned the coin with his ring.
"IRIS. Analyze the material and energy behind this pocket change. Can you make a decoy?" Aiden asked his computer.
'I believe actually can. With the knowledge acquired by Mrs. Swan, I can without a doubt make a signature stronger than the medallion.' IRIS confirmed.
"Make it happen Honey. Come on Guardians. Let's go make some bait for the bone thugs." Aiden said, giving Elizabeth the necklace back and walking out with the team following him to the upper deck.
"Wait I'm confused, what are we doing?" Sora asked as they left.
Leaving Will and Elizabeth alone to talk, and for Elizabeth to explain some things she'd been wanting to say. Will was just glad to have her back, and so far. Neither of them were concerned about the fact that she was engaged to be married to Commodore Norrington. Because in reality, Elizabeth never loved that man, except for the black smith in front of her.
"You said you gave Barbossa my name as yours. Why?" Will asked curiously as they were leaning closer.
"I don't know." Elizabeth replied softly as she was leaning closer.
"Elizabeth." He whispered. But before they could kiss, they both halted wondering if they should. Then Will glanced down at the necklace in her hand. Finally Will recognized the symbol on the medallion.
"It's your." Elizabeth handed it to him.
Will glanced down at it as the coin hung from the chain in his fingers. "I thought I'd lost it the day they rescued me. It was a gift from my father. He sent it to me." He said which made Elizabeth look a little guilty. So he asked her. "Why did you take it?"
"Because I was afraid that you were a pirate. That would have been awful." Elizabeth expressed.
They both knew what would've happened if the Royal Navy found out Will was a pirate. He would've been executed. His age at the time wouldn't have made a difference. Will of course realized... 'The blood of Bootstrap Turner'.
"It wasn't your blood they needed. It was my father's blood. My blood." Will gripped the coin in his hand as reality sunk in. "The blood of a pirate."
Will now sees. Jack was right about his father all along. Everything Will thought about his father and his honorable family name. Was tainted by the same corruption of a pirate's legacy. He felt angry to realize he came from everything he stood against. But Elizabeth thought he was angry at her.
"I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." Elizabeth implored.
But Will's response was slamming the coin back on the table. He wouldn't even look at the girl. He felt too ashamed to look at her, he came from the same kind of people that put her through a nightmare the past few days. But Elizabeth had her own sense of shame. Thinking Will was upset with her, she walked out with tears brimming in her eyes. Will wasn't really angry. He just felt like he didn't deserve her.
They both felt the same thing.
Back over at Isla de Muerta…..
For the past few hours Pete was standing in front of a large ancient stone wall. On this wall it had the mural of a giant snake and eagle. These images were known as the gods Quetzalcoatl and Huitzilopochtli. Pete was fascinated because he could sense something alive and breathing behind the images. So he kept trying to use the power of darkness to wake it up and turn it into a heartless. But nothing was working.
"Come on! WORK DARN YOU!" Pete exclaimed slamming his foot down as nothing was working.
"It doesn't open like that dumbass." Pete heard a voice mocked, he snorted and turned around. He gasped to see Dianex standing there, holding his main keyblade.
"Wha? What are you doing here?" Pete asked nervously, stepping back as Dianex approached.
"It takes a monster to wake a monster." Dianex remarked as he slammed his keyblade into the image. Suddenly, much to Pete's horror and amazement. The stone images of the two Aztec deities began to grow and shift from stone to flesh, as they both let out a loud roar.
*******RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCHHHHHHHHHHHH!*******
Back on the Black Pearl…..
Inside the captain's quarters. Barbossa sat at his desk listening to Jack as he bargained with his old shipmate, unfortunately for Jack. Barbossa is not as gullible as he thinks. Sure he fell for Elizabeth's trick. But any pirate would, even his crew realized that. Finding out who Bootstrap Turner's real child was a shot in the dark for them. Jack's tricks however are so obvious.
"So you expect to leave me standing on some beach with nothing but a name and your word, it's the one I need and watch you sail away with my ship?" Barbossa inquired with an unconvinced scoff.
Jack looked at him while paced by the desk. "No. I expect to leave you on some beach with absolutely no name at all, watching me sail away on my ship." He witted and leaned on the desk. "And then I'll shout the name back to you. Savvy?"
"But That still leaves the problem of me standing on some beach with naught but a name and your word. It's the one I need." Barbossa deadpanned.
Jack started picking apart some apples until he took a green one as he pointed out.
"Of the two of us. I am the only one who hasn't committed mutiny. Although, I suppose I should be thanking you because in fact, if you haven't betrayed me and left me to die. I would have an equal share in that curse, same as you." Jack grinned as he sat down and took a bite of the apple. "Funny old world, isn't it?"
Barbossa couldn't help but agree with a small grin. He wasn't sure if it was ironic Karma or Jack's insane amount of luck that brought him this far.
Just then, Bo'sun came inside to inform Captain Barbossa that they found something interesting.
"Captain, We've come upon and Island up ahead, with the ship marooned in the middle. It could be the Interceptor." Bo'sun stated.
With that said, Barbossa stood up and went outside to see it. With Jack following along with the monkey running ahead of them. Barbossa walked to the rear deck and looked out at the sea with his telescope. He sees a ship stationed in the middle of a moderately large island with trees and palm trees surrounding the whole area like a jungle. The Interceptor was standing tall over the trees from where it was docked.
"Impossible. There be no opening for the ship to sail in the middle." Mallot pointed out.
"Leave nothing to chance Lads." Barbossa suggested. "Leave nothing to chance."
Jack Sparrow looked worried and came in close mouth view of his telescope and interjected. "I'm having a thought here, Barbossa. What say we run up a flag of truce, I scurry over to that Island, board the Interceptor, and I negotiate the return of your medallion? Aye? What say use of that?" He gave him an offer.
Barbossa gave him a condescending evil smile. "I say Jack. That's exactly the attitude that lost you the pearl. People are easier to search when they're dead." He chuckled and ordered. "Lock him in the brig."
Bo'sun then grabbed Jack by the shoulder and hauled him away. While Barbossa was holding the apple Jack was eating, he was reminded of how badly he's jealous of Jack's luck. So out of frustration he threw it into the water. So the Pearl went sailing towards the island.
Meanwhile Jack was taken to a cell below deck and locked inside by Bo'sun.
"Apparently there's a leak." Jack commented before the first mate of the ship left him there.
Down in Cebo De Huesos Island (Named by the Maverick)...
The Black Pearl dropped anchor near the beach as the captain and his crew went on land and slowly made their way toward the middle of the island. Passing a bunch of tall trees. As they were getting closer, they could hear music coming from the ship. But not any kind of music they're familiar with. It wasn't sea shanties or live Celtic music or any music they were accustomed to on this world. In fact, it's famous in other worlds. More specifically, the modern worlds.
(Southern Nights - Glen Campbell)
They all looked confused wondering what kind of music is that, but Captain Barossa whispered to them. "Don't let your guard down Lads." He advised them as they sneak their way up close. They could see a tent near the boarding ramp of the ship. It had large letters on the front which labeled 'Captain's tent' on the side. The crew smirked as they figured the captain of the Interceptor was the idiot. But in reality, they are for not realizing what this all is.
Southern Nights Have You Ever Felt A
Southern Night Free As A Breeze
Not To Mention The Trees
Whistling Tunes That You Know And Love So
They could hear someone young and full of enthusiasm humming and singing to the lyrics inside the tent. "Free as a hmm hmm...Not to mention dun dun dun." Aiden's voice was heard.
Barbossa use his fingers to signaled Grapple to go in and check the tent, Grapple nodded and quietly approached the tent with his cutlass ready to strike, he got close enough to the tent entrance as he could hear Aiden humming and scatting to the music playing in the background.
Southern Nights Just As Good Even
When Closed Your Eyes
I Apologize
To Any One Who Can Truly Say
He Has Found A Better Way
Grapple then slashed his cutlass at the tent, ripping it open. Revealing that no one was inside, not even Aiden. Instead it was a walkie talkie that he was speaking through to make it look like he was inside.
"I apologize, to anyone who came to play! Cause you are dumb in every way!...yeah." Aiden sang to the music through the walkie talkie.
Grapple's eyes widened as an ice grenade dropped near his boots and went off, freezing him in place. The crew gasped when suddenly, the Interceptor began to shift in lights, revealing that it wasn't the Interceptor ship. It was a hologram used to lore Barbossa and his men on this island and into Aiden's trap, one that he came up with himself while everyone else stayed to guard the real interceptor, which was cloaked out at sea.
"IT'S A TRAP!" Jacoby yelled as they all panicked.
"Give the hobo a weed cookie! Mazel tov Ackbar!" Aiden quipped in the radio.
Before Jacoby backed away and accidently stepped on a green metal button on the ground. Making them flinch as so many darts began shooting out of the trees, hitting 7 members of the crew including Jacoby, while they didn't feel pain because of the curse, the strong tranquilizing mix in the tarts were enough to incapacitate their nerve cells. So they collapsed on the ground.
Mysteries Like This And Many Others
In The Trees Blow In The Night
In The Southern Skies
"Find him!" Bo'sun ordered as the crew drew their pistols and searched the area.
The crew divided into groups scattered around the island searching for Aiden as they searched the trees. But Aiden was camouflage somewhere nearby watching them look around, as the crew was unaware that he booby trapped the whole island. So Twigg was with several men when he stepped on some rope which tripped another trap. Which was a classic.
"Huh?" He turned to see a large log on a rope swinging towards him and his group. So they screamed in terror "AAAAAAHHHHHH!"
**SLAAAMM!**
They were knocked into the air and fell into mud. Then the log fell on top of them, bringing them down. Another group of pirates fell into a hole that was hidden under some palm leaves and were trapped in a whole, with snakes. They screamed as the snakes started biting them, even though it didn't hurt or kill them. But who's not afraid of snakes anyway? Especially since these snakes had flamed tipped flangs that set any skin on fire when they bite.
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Those crew members screams echo from the hole, receiving the hissing fiery snake bites.
Old Man He And His Dog They Walk The Old Land
Every Flower Touched His Cold Hand
As He Slowly Walked By
Weeping Willows Would Cry For Joy
Just then Koehler and Mallot were in another group on the island when their large group of pirates were surrounded by neon sonic burst mines on the floor. But they were unaware of them. Or the fact that Aiden was camouflage on top of a tree right in between their group. So he closed his palm, causing the mines to set off from the left side of his tree. A neon energy burst sent the pirates screaming up in the air, including Mallot.
**BURST!**
"AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!" Mallot screamed like a girl as he was sent high in the sky from the blast trap, only to fall flat on his face as he fell hard on the ground.
Then Aiden closed his palm causing the other traps to go off. Since they were activated by his powers, the traps were set by the motion of his hands. So then on the right, Keohler was sent into the air by the burst mines.
**BURST!**
"AAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!" Koehler screamed as he and his men were sent high into the air just like the others, and they fell down hard, moaning as they did. Somehow Aiden's neon magic made them feel weak despite the curse. No one could explain and Aiden didn't care. His plan was working.
"Second course." Aiden quipped, as he sets off the burst trap again underneath Mallot's group.
**BURST!**
"WWWWWHHHHHHYYYYYYYY!" Mallot shrieked as he was sent into the air again.
"Whoo! Haha!" Aiden laughed before he sets off the trap under Koehler's group, sending them into the air.
**BURST!**
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Koehler screamed as his group was sent into the air.
Then Aiden set's the other burst trap under Mallot's pirates again.
**BURST!**
"AAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIII!" Mallot screamed with his group in the air.
Then Aiden sets off the trap again under Koehler's group of pirates again.
**BURST!**
"AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!" They all scream as they were blasted in the air.
Aiden repeats this again and again as those pirates were sent into the air multiple times, it could be seen all the way back on the real Interceptor as they could see pirates sent high above the trees along the neon smoke from the burst traps, and screaming before falling down. And repeated on two different sides of the trees. It was kind of funny to watch for some of the passengers that were watching. Including Sora and the team who could see it happen. And they laughed at Aiden's traps working. Even Jack could see this happening through the hole in his cell. He laughed hard at the cursed pirates being blown up in the air and back down to the ground.
Feel So Good Feel So Good It's Frightening
Wish I Could Stop This World From Fighting
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Once those traps were done, Koehler and Mallot were left on the ground, moaning like the pirate filthy messes they are. Then Aiden ran in superspeed as he ran fast towards Pintel and Regetti's group. Then he attaches little round magnets to their backs, Causing them to yelp as they were pulled together into a pile. Then the magnets went off and electrocuted them.
"GUUUUHHHHHHHH!" Pintel and Regetti motorboated as they were shocked along with their group.
Southern nights
They feel so good, it's a frightening
Wish I could (Southern nights)
Stop this world from the fighting
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da,
Da-da-da-da-da-da
The music ended with all of Barbossa's crew taken down and beaten by Aiden and his traps. Aiden jumped and flipped out of the trees and landed on the ground after shifting into the Maverick. He smirked looking around at all of the crew members. Then he pulled out a notebook which labeled 'Bucket List'.
He had a sentence on the list that read 'Outshine Macaulay Culkin'. So Maverick wrote a check mark to it, since that's what he did just now.
But then he noticed something was wrong. Barbossa was nowhere to be seen. In fact he's the only pirate on the island who hasn't been caught in one of Maverick's traps.
"Wait….." Maverick muttered and looked around while calling out in a country accent. "Hey! Billy Bob Bossa! Where you at?!"
"Not here." He heard a familiar voice say from behind him. "I got him out of here before he could trip one of your stupid traps."
Maverick hung his head back and groaned in annoyance as he turned around seeing Stormur standing there on the island with him. Looking like he's ready for another round. But when he saw Stormur shift out of his suit. Maverick saw him for the first time as Dianex. So seeing that he's wanting to confront the guy under the suit. Maverick shifted back into Aiden.
"You know for a prick that doesn't exist you don't look that bad." Aiden remarked about the fact Dianex looks just like him, but with different colors. Black and red instead of green and blue. Even his black hair is a nice change from Aiden's white hair.
"If I were real. Having your face on my body would make me puke." Dianex said back at Aiden with a hated tone.
"So what do you want now? Don't you ever get tired of this? Oh wait I forgot." Aiden quipped about him being a Nobody. "Don't you ever get tired of being a Nobody?"
"Killing you is all that matters to me." Dianex simply stated glaring at him.
Aiden rolled his eyes and crossed his arms while glaring back at him
. "Ugh. What did I ever do to you? Is this just some by the numbers revenge plot that I don't know about?! Are you like the Marvel version of the Arkham Knight or something?!" Aiden ranted at his Nobody.
"I am all that you left behind." Dianex said slowly walking up to Aiden. "But once you're reduced to a bloody puddle of ashes, I will have and be everything that you are."
Before Aiden could ask what that means, Dianex had a neon dagger in his hands. Aiden saw it about to stab him in the stomach, so Aiden quickly knocked it up out of his hand, he palm striked Dianex in the face, then he roundhouse kicked him to the ground. Then Aiden grabbed the knife and he pinned Dianex to the ground, with his knife held at Dianex's throat.
"So if you kill me, you'll exist. Is that it?" Aiden interrogated with a hard glare.
Dianex chuckled darkly. "I never said that. But we'll pick up where we left off in another world." He smiled sinisterly
"Why don't we start now?" Aiden taunted. "After all your sorry ass was built by the organization to kill me."
"They're only part of the reason I was made. The organization's mission means nothing to me. I was made for a different purpose. And it starts with you and your death." Dianex stated as he teleported making Aiden trip.
"Wha-"
**POW!**
"Ugh!" Aiden was slammed by Dianex's two keyblades, then Aiden was blasted a few feet away by Dianex's lightning blast. Aiden crashed through a few trees and his back was slammed into a large rock, splitting the rock in two, he moaned in pain on the ground. In fact Aiden's lip upper lip was split, he had a bruise on his cheek and a cut on his chin. Along with a few cuts on bruises all over his body.
Dianex teleported up to him and stared down at Aiden with an evil grin.
"Since you're busy with this world. I'll leave you to it for now, Prey. I'll pick a new playing field for us." Stormur smirked before he vanished, he echoed. "Later…."
Once he was gone, Aiden stood back up slowly, struggling a bit before he spits some blood on the ground. Then his cuts and bruises quickly healed all over, he popped his sore joints, even his neck for relief. And then he wondered to himself.
'I am all that you left behind? What the hell does that mean?' Aiden wondered in his thoughts.
But then he heard the sounds of giant wings flapping in the air, and a shadow casted over him on the island. He looked up as his eyes widened in shock.
"Oh shit." Aiden gawked.
***RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!**
A large roar was heard.
Back over at the Interceptor……
Everyone on board heard the roar coming from the island, even the Guardians as they looked out from the ship. Sora ran up to the crows nest and stood on top of the flag pow to see through his telescope.
"What was that?" Kairi asked, looking troubled.
"I don't know." Victoria said standing next to her.
*Thud!*
The ship felt something bump underneath it as he shook. Sora staggered a bit but kept his balance. Everyone felt the shake onboard, Victoria could sense something was down there under the water. She looked at Anamaria and Mr. Gibbs.
"We need to get the ship out of here. Now." Victoria told them firmly.
While Mr. Gibbs looked confused, Anamaria nodded and went up to take the wheel, she didn't hesitate to sail out of the area. So she turned the ship and ordered the crew. "Full sails lads!"
Just then, Elizabeth came up from below deck hearing all of the commotion And looked around as steam started coming out of the water. Sending a fog around the ship. Somehow whatever was below could see past their cloak.
"Hands aloft to loose ta-gallants! With this wind, she'll carry every sail we've got!" Mr Gibb shouted the crew to help Anamaria sail the ship.
"What's happening?!" Elizabeth called out to Sora who leapt out of the crows nest and landed on the rear deck.
"We've got something big underneath the ship!" Sora announced.
"Which is why we need to get the hell out of here!" Victoria added while she scanned the waters.
"My thoughts exactly!" Anamaria agreed as she steered.
Elizabeth looked out at the horizon and her eyes lit up as a plan of escape popped into her head. She went up to Anamaria.
"This is the fastest ship in the Caribbean." Elizabeth stated.
"You can tell whatever's down there that after it eats us." Anamaria sarcastically responded.
"We're shallow in the draft, right?" Elizabeth gave a hint.
"Aye?" Anamaria looked confused.
"Well then can't we lose what's down there amongst those shoals?" Elizabeth pointed towards outwards.
They looked out to see the shallow waters disturbed by schools of fish swimming together. But Victoria also detected shallow waters caused by sand and underwater rocks.
"I think she's on to something." Victoria said.
"With those unsteady water, whatever's swimming below will be forced to either leave or come up to...meet us." Kairi spoke up while she was gripping her keyblade.
By 'meet us' she means meet their keyblades. It seems hanging out with Sora and the Guardians has made her a lot more tougher.
Since Anamaria agreed with their plan. "Lighten the ship! Stem to stern!" She ordered the crew as she turned the ship towards the shoals.
"Best if we make it uncomfortable!" Donald yelled out from on top of the sail.
"By 'we' you mean me." Victoria remarked as she held her hands down on the waters.
Then she causes the water to heat up and bubble around the ship like a pot of boiling eggs. Thankfully Aiden covered the hull of the ship with a strong neon shelling armor to keep the heat water to damage or affect the ship's exterior. But with the water heated around the ship, the monster underneath roared uncomfortably and swam deeper in the water to escape the heat. By then, Will Turner came up to see what was going on and was informed by the short one Marty. So Will went to work helping the crew with the sails and also helping with getting the cannons loaded.
Once the ship was sailing over the shoals, They hoard the loud scraping of the rocks underneath, but not from the ship since Anamaria is a great sailor. Then the loud sounds of swimming and growling began to quiet down. The crew started sighing in relief but Kairi warned them.
"Don't get comfortable yet boys. It's not over yet." Kairi said as she stood next to the team.
Victoria shifted into Blaze, Kairi shifted into her armored form along with Sora in his armor.
"Rack! Did she just call us boys?" Cotton's parrot asked.
"You mean we haven't lost it?" Mr. Gibbs inquired looking at the Guardians.
"No. We just made it easier to find." Sora answered looking out at the water with the others.
"Oh, then it was a good plan up until now." Anamaria remarked with a hint of sarcasm. This is why the Guardians like her, she doesn't waste time with the word 'nice'.
"If the plan was to lose it, yeah. But the plan is to kill it." Blaze stated.
"What?" Anamaria looked shocked.
"Trust us. Put the sails to rest here. We can handle it." Sora assured her and looked at Mr. Gibbs. "Gibbs, When we give the word, get the crew to safety and barricade yourselves below deck!"
"On it!" Mr. Gibbs nodded and went to the front of the deck, ready to give the order to get the crew down below deck.
"Elizabeth, keep a look out for the Pearl! Let us know the moment you see it!" Kairi told Elizabeth.
"I will!" Elizabeth nodded and went up to the crows nest to look out for the Pearl. If they're found by Barbossa's crew. Things will get hairy. But they're hooping Aiden dealt with them.
"Will! Get the cannons ready! We'll need the extra firepower!" Blaze told Will Turner.
"Right! We'll make a stand!" Will shouted to whatever crew was up on deck. "We'll need to load the guns!"
"With what?" Anamaria inquired.
"With these." Blaze summoned fire based cannons and cannons made of lightning. Then she loaded them herself by making the cannons float and launched into the cannons. "You have multiple shots, but make them count."
"Alright. Now I'm impressed." Anamaria remarked. "Even though you're all daft."
"Just like Jack." Mr. Gibbs muttered after hearing with a grin.
"Alright, Guardians get ready. Something big is coming." Sora announced as they lined up and stood together.
Ready for action.
Just then…
"GET OUT OF THERE!" Blaze's ear communicator buzzed with the static of Maverick's voice.
Blaze quirked her eyebrows and tapped her communicator. "Aiden?" She whispered. "What's going on? Did you stop Barbossa?"
"VIC! GET THEM OUT OF THERE! IT'S WHAT-" Maverick's communication's was cut off immediately.
"Hello? Aiden?" Blaze tried to put him back on, looking worried.
Suddenly…
**RRRROOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!**
The snake monster known as Quetzalcoatl burst out of the waters and stood sneering at the Interceptor ship hissing menacingly. Quetzalcoatl the snake had red feathers all over his green leather skin. With green eyes and large fangs. Causing most of the crew to be terrified as Sora and the Guardians stood together in a fighting stance. Sora signaled over to Mr. Gibbs, he nodded and ordered the crew to get below deck.
"Rack! God help us all! Rack! God help us all!" Cotton's parrot said as he and Cotton went below deck.
The snake started shooting balls of acid out of his mouth like spit, as it impacted the ship's wheel. Knocking Anamaria to the side when she jumped out of the way. But then Sora projected a shield of light, with Kairi's help as they held their keyblades up to block the acid ball attacks from damaging the ship further.
"Hah!" Blaze held her hand out and summoned lightning to strike the snake causing it to shriek and growl as the began to huff and blow at the ship. The wind blowing out of the snake's large mouth was causing it to tilt, but the ship fired back with it's cannons and impacted into the snake's mouth. Hurting it.
But it was still standing.
Kairi figured out how to bring the giant snake down. So she held her keyblade out to make it angry again. But the snake dodged the lighting strike. Sora tried his thunder spell as well, but the snake dodged that as well.
"Wha?!" Donald gasped as he tried but the snake dodged his thunder attack.
"IT KEEPS DODGING US!" Goofy. Screamed.
"Ma'am. The snake is from Aztec folklore. It is known as Quetzalcoatl. The god of wind and learning." IRIS informed Blaze.
"Okay fine IRIS!" Blaze snapped while she kept trying to strike it with lightning. "What does that have to do with-"
"Wait a minute! That's it!" Kairi's eyes lid up.
"What's it?!" Sora asked while he kept blocking the snake's acid ball attacks.
"God of learning! It's learning our attacks and anticipating what attacks were going to use next!" Kairi told them as she's the first to figure it out.
"Oooooohh…." Sora realized.
Then Sora fired an ice spell. Causing the snake to shriek in pain. Then Donald, Goofy, Kairi and Blaze did the same thing. When the snake got hit with enough ice attacks. The creature got angry, and opened it's mouth to try to blow at them. Only for the ship's cannons to fire lightning balls into it's mouth. Hurting it as the electrical cannon balls went down the snake's throat. Finally it rose higher above the ship showing how long it's tail was. It was about to slam it's tail into the ship only for Sora to block it with the light shield of his keyblade when the tail came down. With the snake's tail pressing down on Sora's shield, Kairi and Blaze nodded at each other as Kairi rail slides up the snake's tail while blaze flew up beside her. They both began shooting fire balls at the snake's face making it recoil each time. Blaze with her power fires and Kairi with her fire spell attacks. Soon Kairi slides up on top of the snake and kicks into the air twirling as she flipped with Blaze, then they both started to fall toward the snake as it looked up. Kairi and Blaze finally slammed their keyblades onto it's skull. Making it roar in pain.
Sora pushed the snake's tail back into the water while it was weakened, and he huffed as the snake lowered itself down onto the water. Then it glared back at the ship as it tried spitting more acid balls. But Kairi landed next to Sora as they protected the ship with their light shields. Blaze flew around the snake shooting fire balls this time, disorienting it giving Donald and Goofy a chance to shoot their fire spells. Then Sora and kairi shot their fire spells which all impacted the monster at the same time.
"RRRAAAAAACHHHHHHHH!" The snake shrieked and hissed in anger as it opened it's mouth wide to take a deep breath, only for the ship to blast fire cannons into it's mouth. "RRRRRRAAAAGHHH!"
The snake was almost down to it's last legs….or tails. But this time from it's green eyes, it began to fire a large acid beam toward the ship. This time Sora, Donald, Goofy and kairi came together on the crows nest and blocked the snake's acid beam with a larger light shield. Blaze splits her keyblade into two and flies up to the snake. She slashes at it's eyes making the snake scream in pain. Then she impaled her keyblades into the jaw of the snake, and with her strength, she pulled. Blaze was slowly opening it's mouth for Kairi and Sora to come in. They both jumped high and slammed their keyblades at it's fangs. Breaking it's fangs to pieces.
"AAAAAAAAIIIIIGGGGHHHHH!" The snake screamed as it was getting busy and lowered itself and facing directly in front of the ship's cannons.
"NOW!" Anamaria yelled as the ship fired the cannons right into the snake's face. Thus the fire cannons and the lightning cannons shot through Quetzalcoatl's face filling it with holes and killing the snake instantly as it sunk at the bottom of the sea.
Thus ending the fight.
The Crew cheered as they had won against the dark snake god Quetzalcoatl. Mr. Gibbs and the crew came up to congratulate the guardians for their brave act and amazing power.
"Well done Guardians! You truly are, the world's greatest warriors!" Mr. Gibbs cheered his bottle of grog to them.
"Truly! Cheers to the Guardians!" Anamaria announced with a smile of her own.
Sora and the others stood together and smiled as they shifted out of their armored form and the crew cheered. "HIP HIP HURRAH!" several times. But as Blaze shifted back into Victoria she ignored the cheers and tried to contact Maverick.
"Aiden, come in! Are you there?!" Victoria whispered to her communicator. Then she tried calling him on his gummiphone. But it kept going to voicemail.
"EVERYONE! THE PEARL!" Elizabeth yelled from the crows nest. She could see past the fog around the ship.
"Where?!" Will called to her from below.
"RIGHT ON TOP OF US!" Elizabeth screamed her answer.
Suddenly, the fog instantly disappeared like magic as the Black Pearl revealed itself and started blasting it's cannons.
**BOOM BOOM BOOM!**
The cannons began shelling the ship and tearing the hull apart. Some of the crew members got killed from the cannons and explosions. Sora and the others were caught off guard but Victoria started firing back, only for her attacks to bounce off due to the curse. Then she was shot back a dark neon cannon.
Curtesy of Stormur.
"Augh!" Victoria yelled in pain as she fell into the water from the cannon blast.
"TORI!" Kairi yelled out to her.
Sora tried blocking the cannons with his light shield along with Donald and Goofy helping, but the dark cannons kept breaking through the magic shield. All of the crew members were taking cover, including Baby Groot who ran into a fish barrel, he gagged in disgust at the smell when he fell in.
Barbossa and his crew were seen on the ship, having to have recovered from Aiden and his traps on Cebo De Huesos Island. They roared in triumph as they were tearing the Interceptor apart and swung onto the ship to attack, but Kairi and Sora started swinging their keyblades and knocking them into the water, even Anamaria was holding her own with Mr. Gibbs. Donald and Goofy helped out, but too many were boarding and they were fighting the Interceptor's crew. And killing several of Mr. Gibbs's men.
What the Guardians tried to avoid.
Then Jack came out of nowhere and swung from the Pearl and kicked a curse pirate into the water as he landed in front of Mr Gibbs.
"Jack!" Mr. Gibbs gasped for joy seeing Jack Sparrow alive.
Jack remarked by handing him his drinking flask. "It's bloody empty." He joked that he came on board to reveal. As if that's the reason. Mr Gibbs gave him a weird look because of it.
Meanwhile Victoria got back up out of the water and into the fight, she had a few scrapes but she was find. Elizabeth was using a sword to fight the pirate's as well, while the other Guardians were fighting back with their keyblades. Along with Will. But then Jack came over fighting with his sword, knocking a few cursed pirates down. A pirate named Stinky was about to slash at Elizabeth just as her hand was caught, but Jack caught Stinky's hand before he could.
"Now that's not very nice." Jack jested at the pirate.
Elizabeth glared at Jack before she slammed stinky with the bud end of a rifle, knocking Stinky into the water. Even the guardians glared at Jack while they were fighting. Just as the bullets came flying in, Jack pulled Elizabeth down to cover.
"Where's the Madallion?" Jack asked her.
Her glare hardened. "Wretch!" She spat and was about to hit him but he caught her hand and smirked at her. He was about to Jest at her when Jack the monkey came in and snatched the medallion from Will's neck.
"Hey! The monkey!" Jack called out.
"On it!" Sora nodded and was about to go after it when suddenly Pete appeared in front of him.
"Goin somewhere?! Hahahahahahaaa!" Pete laughed evilly with his hands on his hips looking down at Sora.
Suddenly, so many of Barbossa's men were holding the crew members at gunpoint, including Elizabeth and Mr Gibbs. Along with Anamaria who tried struggling out of Bo'sun's grip. Thus the fight was halted as the Interceptor was boarded.
"My thanks to ye Jack." Barbossa came up to Jack Sparrow.
"You're welcome." Jack sarcastically said back with a condescending smile.
"Not you. We named the monkey Jack." Barbossa clarified about the monkey standing on his shoulder and handing Barbossa the Medallion.
"Weird." Kairi muttered about that fact.
"Gents, our hope is restored!" Barbossa announced to his men as they cheered. Then he looked at Sora and the Guardians. "And to the Guardians. My regards, to you and your founding warrior."
He held his hand out as everyone heard the sound of giant wings flapping. Everyone of Jack's crew members gasped when they saw the shadow of a giant eagle come from the air. Suddenly, a giant eagle came hovering over the Interceptor, large with red and green fathers, in the same Aztec color scheme as Quetzalcoatl. Only this huge bird is called Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec god of war and sun. With his feathers as sharp as razors and the ability to breathe fire like a dragon.
Huitzilopochtli had Aiden caught in his talents. Wounded and unconscious. Victoria gasped in horror seeing her boyfriend hurt and out cold. The eagle dropped Aiden all the way down to the Interceptor ship as he was caught by Victoria who held her hands out and sat him on the floor.
"Aiden?! What happened?!" Victoria worried then she gave Barbossa a death glare. "What the ***k did you do to him?!"
"Not what I did Lass. His twin and the bird did most of the work." Barbossa smirked as his crew laughed in response.
As the cursed crew held the Interceptor's crew at gunpoint, Pintel threatened them. "Any of you so much as thinks the word 'parley', I'll have your guts for garters!"
"Go ahead! Make my day!" Sora sneered back at him. Daring him to do so anyway.
Barbossa went up to Elizabeth. "Welcome back Miss. You took advantage of my hospitality for the last time. It holds fair now to return the favor as I let you and the guardians sink in this ship."
The crew started leaving TNT barrels around the ship and a trail of gunpowder to light it up. But before Regetti could light the fuse. Will intervened and shouted. "Barbossa!"
Captain Barbossa turned to him as Will pointed his pistol at him.
"She goes free! And so do the guardians!" Will glared with his weapon pointed at him.
"What's in your head, boy?" Barbossa inquired. "You've only got one shot, and we can't die."
"Don't do anything stupid." Jack whispered his plea to him.
Will realized he was right, he had to be smart about this. "You can't. But I can." He pointed the gun under his own chin.
"Like that." Jack looked worried, but Elizabeth was even more worried than everyone else.
"Who are you?" Barbossa looked confused on how his death should threaten them.
"No one, he's no one. A distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed." Jack tried to lie up to Barbossa. "Lovely singing voice, though, Eunuch."
"I am Groot." Groot whispered while rolling his eyes, while he was still hiding in a fish barrel.
"My name is Will Turner! My father was Bootstrap Bill Turner! His blood runs in my veins!" Will announced, much to the shock of Barbossa and his crew, and much to Jack's disapproval.
"He's a spitting image of Ol Bootstrap Bill, come back to haunt us!" Ragetti pointed at Will.
"On my word, do as I say. Or I'll pull this trigger and be lost to Davy Jones's locker!" Will declared.
Barbossa lowered his hand signaling his men to stand down, then he looked at Will. "Name your terms Mr. Turner."
"Elizabeth and the Guardians goes free!" Will stated with his gun still pointed under his chin.
"Yes, we know that one. Anything else?" Barbossa asked sarcastically.
Jack gestures at himself and the Interceptor's crew.
"And the crew. The crew are not to be harmed, and this ship does not blow up." Will added as well.
"This ship's a wreck anyways. They won't be much here afterwards." Pete shrugged while the other pirates agreed.
But being just Maleficent's stooge. If Pete knew half of how dangerous the guardians really are. He wouldn't be dumb enough to say that.
Barbossa gave a sinister smile up at Will as he says. "Agreed."
Hopefully this second shot will play out, by the time the Guardians recover from this attack.
The next morning on the Interceptor…..
"Look! I think he's waking up!"
"Oh thank God! Aiden!"
"Come on Lad, daylight doesn't have all day! You got to try the rum."
"Shut it Jack!"
"I am Groot?"
Aiden heard a bunch of voices say before he started waking up, his eyes fluttered as he was met with Victoria's relieved expression. He looked around and noticed he was leaning against a sofa inside the captain's quarters. A sofa Victoria constructed with her fire powers, thanks to the training she had with Elsa's ice powers. Aiden looked confused until it hit him about everything that happened last night.
He saw his team, along with Elizabeth and Jack Sparrow.
He sat up feeling no pain due to his healing factor. "Give me a recap of everything I missed." Aiden said to them asking what happened.
"We were attacked by a giant snake." Goofy first stated.
"I figured that part out, what else?" Aiden asked.
"Barbossa and his crew found our ship and attacked, along with a giant bird." Donald added.
"I….got most of that." Aiden said given that he can hardly understand Donald sometimes. "What else?"
"They dumped you on board looking like death's doors on a hangover." Jack stated.
"And?" Aiden asked shooting Jack with a dirty look.
"They figured out who Will is and took him. Along with the entire crew." Sora said to Aiden. "He was forced to make a deal with them and they left us out here."
"Okay. Why didn't they just kill us? They might as well leave my pet cobra in their basement." Aiden gave a weird look about the fact that they were spared.
"You have to thank the code for…Wait, do you have a pet cobra?" Jack twisted a little.
"No. But if I did." Aiden stood up and shifted into his Maverick suit as he marched up to Jack. "I would make you it's Sunday meal."
"Uh…." Jack backed away.
"Woah woah woah! Easy… Easy Aid." Sora got up in front and pushed his hands on his shoulders to stop him.
"He's cool now Aiden. I made sure of it." Victoria reassured him.
Maverick looked at Jack.
"Tis true, Aye. Your fair maiden used every curse word starting with the middle letters." Jack winced remembering how they cursed him out for trying to trade Will in earlier. "Rest assured we're in this together."
Maverick lost most of his glare, he was a bit skeptical. But he sighed and shifted back into Aiden.
"Alright. You're off the death note." Aiden quipped then he turned to address the team. "Listen. My traps worked on Captain Babushka's crew. But he wasn't around on the island."
"It's Barbossa." Donald corrected.
"Whatever. Anyway, Stormur awoke two of the most legendary gods of Aztec myth. You'll already took down their Jesus. But all that's left is their Birdman." Aiden told them about what Dianex did. "I tried to fight him, but he was too hard to handle by myself. That's why I never owned a pet bird, they're hard to clean. Just ask Cassandra."
"Wait, so Stormur just woke up gods? How is that possible?" Elizabeth asked.
"They're from a dark myth and he's pure darkness. Summoning them with his keyblade seemed like a simple phone call…..Letter. It seemed like writing a letter to them. Still one of them is dead." Aiden clarified.
"All that's left is the bird, along with my ex mates." Jack figured.
"Right. Anyway. I better get to work on fixing the ship. I think a few ice sails and some real turbo engines can get us there-" Aiden almost went out the door but Elizabeth spoke up.
"Actually Mr. Elsonov." Elizabeth said with a nervous grin. "We called for help."
"I used a signal fire. The royal navy's coming this way." Victoria stated.
"Say what?" Aiden froze.
After that. Everyone stood outside as three ships came in hailing the flag of England. Came up to the ship. Elizabeth figured that her father, along with Commodore Norrington, were searching for her after she had been taken from Port Royal. With Elizabeth safe with the Guardians they won't be considered a threat by the men on board. Jack on the other hand would be arrested on the spot.
Jack tried to sneak away but Victoria pointed her keyblade at him while she was looking at the ships coming in.
"Walk away and I'll roast your ass into a Christmas ham." Victoria gave him a warning.
"Right. I'm more on the dark meat anyway." Jack twitched with a nervous jest.
"Once we're on board. Let Elizabeth do the talking." Aiden said before he smirked. "And then me."
On board the Royal Navy Frigate…..
Elizabeth was explaining everything to her father the Governor, while the Guardians stood by and listened, and Jack was standing with Mortogg and Mullroy. Wearing chain cuffs as a prisoner. But Governor Swan was not listening. Neither was Commodore Norrington.
"But we've got to save Will!" Elizabeth protested.
"No! You're safe now. We will return to Port Royal Immediately. Not go gallivanting after pirates!" Governor Swan responded while walking away.
"Then we condemn him to death!"
Elizabeth snapped back.
The governor sighed as he looked back at her while standing next to the Commodore.
"The boy's fate is regrettable. But then, so is his decision to engage in piracy."
"To rescue me! To prevent anything from happening to me!" Elizabeth argued.
Jack felt the need to to support her as he fidgetily went up to the Commodore.
"What are you doing?" Aiden hissed over at him.
"If I may be so bold as to interject my professional opinion. The Pearl was listing near to scuffers after the battle. It's very unlikely she'll be able to make good time. Think about it. The Black Pearl. The last real pirate threat in the Caribbean, mate. How can you pass that up?" Jack stated about the opportunity they were missing out on.
Aiden is impressed now. They all are.
"By remembering that I serve others Mr. Sparrow, not only myself." Commodore said back at him. Still being stubborn.
'Alright. Time to be the Maverick.' Aiden thought to himself before...
"Then prove it!" Aiden spoke up as he shifted into the Maverick making every British Passenger on board gasped at the sight. The soldiers drew their weapons toward him.
"I presume that you were the wants that stole the Interceptor with Sparrow and Turner in the first place?" Governor Swan said looking at Maverick.
"After we save your ass and your town from the Black Plague and it's skeleton crew." Maverick said back.
"Meaning you intervene." Commodore Norrington deadpanned with a raised eyebrow.
"Call it whatever's in your dictionary Commander Prissy. But trillions of lives are on the line and today is not a good day to push me." Maverick said with a serious glare. "Now let me give you a slide show."
Maverick projected a neon replica of their ship in his hand. "What's this?"
"Our ship." Governor Swan answered looking a little scared.
"Right! So long story short. After you pardon Jacky over there of all of his past crimes including whatever Inappropriate ones he may have done." Maverick started.
"I have nothing to confess on that." Jack muttered quietly about that last part Maverick said.
"You and your red bore scouts and baby powdered wig associates are going to escort us back towards the Pearl. Fight some pirates and free some captive hobos along with Your daughter's real knight and Shining black smith boots." Maverick declared to the governor before he glared at Commodore Norrington. "But, if you so much as think about arresting me and my team….."
Maverick showed the neon hologram of the ship getting impaled by large ice spikes and split in half. Making some of the soldiers squeak in fear.
"You wouldn't dare." Norrington narrowed his eyes.
"Try me Quaker Oats." Maverick smirked as he closed his hand.
Causing the empty Interceptor ship next to their frigate to get instantly impaled by a large ice sickle, spitting it in half and sinking down into the ocean quickly.
"How are you doing?!" Maverick called out to the now destroyed ship from the bottom of the ocean. Then it blew up under water in response, because of the TNT barrels that were still onboard.
"My God." A soldier whispered in fear.
"You get the picture Norbit?" Maverick quipped at the commodore.
Commodore Norrington looked at his men who were all silently pleading for him to take the deal, including Mortogg and Mullroy who had their hands clasped together whispering please.
"It's Norrington." Norrington seethed, then he sighed. "Fine. We will assist you and your companions in taking on the Pearl. And we'll pardon Mr. Sparrow of all his crimes. But we make no promises for any of his future offenses."
"Fine with that." Jack Sparrow shrugged seeing no problem with that deal.
After the Maverick shook hands with the Commodore and Governor. Making the deal official. Then Maverick passed by Jack patting him on the head like a puppy. "You're learning." He grinned. The other Guardians snickered at his humor.
As the team could tell. Jack is cool now, and so they're cool with him and forgave him for what he almost did to Will.
"Were you serious, about destroying their ships?" Elizabeth asked, looking worried.
"No, I don't kill people. But what's the point in letting them know that?" Maverick winked before he shifted back into Aiden and walked away to play on his gummiphone.
Elizabeth blinked with a downfall look.
"Just go with it." Victoria gave her an assuring smile. "He can be a world class clown sometimes. But his heart's always in the right place."
Elizabeth smiled back and felt relieved when the Royal Navy ships turned towards the direction of Isla De Muerta. Readying themselves to retaliate against Barbossa and his crew. And to rescue Will and the other pirates that were captured. Only this time, they're going to hit Barbossa harder than before.
Captain Barbossa was foolish to underestimate the Guardians of the Multiverse.
That's all for now folks!
As you can tell. Stormur has left the world of Pirates and is gearing up for another throw down in another world. Which means Sora and Aiden will just have to deal with Barbossa and Pete in this world. But we also got to learn a little bit more about Dianex and his intentions. It may not be clear, but what he said will count for later on in the story.
Also! Two legendary gods from Aztec legends were used as monsters in this chapter. This epic idea was given by RustyPete12. Thank you so much!
"Also about that part where I called Quetzalcoatl...Well, Jesus. It's more like a false Jesus. Not the real one. So before anyone throws stones at me. Keep in mind that most Pegan myths barrowed from Biblical religion. So I didn't say that to offended or end up as the Superman of South Park. So please no one take that the wrong way okay?" Maverick said in his defense.
Right. Also if you're wondering why Maverick called the island were he sets his traps called 'Cebo De Huesos Island' What does Cebo De Huesos mean in English?
Leave comments below if you know the answer!
Look forward to the finale of Pirates of the Cerbean in the next chapter!
And as always Disney/Square Enix fans!
FISTBUMP!
