Chapter 2: The "Worst" Pirate Ever
(Alastor leaves the crowded docks where all the workers are and heads for the navy docks. Out in the bay, a huge ship is anchored. He sees a smaller galleon at a dock just below the naval fort built on a cliff. Inside the fort, a large crowd of people and soldiers are assembled and a small orchestra plays music. Naval soldiers in red uniforms march into the courtyard and form two lines with a path between them. Everyone in attendance watches as Captain Seviathan von Eldritch proudly walks down the path ready to be promoted to Commodore.)
(He walks up to where Governor Lucifer and several naval officials wait for him. Lucifer presents him the sword that was forged for him. Seviathan admires it and holds it with pride. In the audience of spectators is Charlie looking somewhat ill and constantly waving a hand fan against herself. Her dress is bringing her discomfort and preventing her from watching the ceremony.)
(Down at the dock, Alastor casually struts past a pair of red-haired, winged goat demons in soldier uniforms laying lazily at their post. He's about to walk onto the dock towards the ship when the two guards alarmingly get up with their rifles and stand in front of him.)
Razzle: (sternly) This dock is off-limits to civilians.
Alastor: (innocently) I'm terribly sorry, I didn't know. If I see one, I shall inform you immediately.
(He tries to move around them, but they still block his way.)
Alastor: Apparently there's some sort of high-toned and fancy to-do up at the fort, eh? How could it be that two upstanding gentlemen such as yourselves did not merit an invitation?
Razzle: Someone has to make sure this dock stays off limits to civilians.
Alastor: It's a fine goal to be sure.
(He points to the big ship in the bay.)
Alastor: But it seems to me that a ship like that makes this one here a bit superfluous, really.
Dazzle: (proudly) Oh, the Dauntless is the power in these waters, true enough. But there's no ship that can match the Interceptor for speed.
Alastor: (slyly) I've heard of one, supposed to be very fast, nigh uncatchable... the Black Pearl.
Dazzle: (laughs) There's no real ship as can match the Interceptor.
Razzle: (turns to Dazzle) The Black Pearl is a real ship.
Dazzle: (turns to Razzle) No, no it's not.
Razzle: (stubbornly) Yes it is. I've seen it.
Dazzle: (baffled) You've seen it?
Razzle: Yes.
Dazzle: (scoffs) You haven't seen it.
Razzle: Yes, I have.
Dazzle: You've seen a ship with black sails, that's crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that the deepest depths of Hell spat him back out?
Razzle: No.
Dazzle: (smirks) No.
Razzle: But I've have seen a ship with black sails.
Dazzle: (teasingly) Oh, and no ship that's not crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that the deepest depths of Hell spat him back out could possibly have black sails, therefore couldn't possibly be any other ship than the Black Pearl. Is that what you're saying?
Razzle: (grins) No.
Dazzle: (to Alastor) Like I said, there's no real ship that can match the Intercept-
(They see he's not in front of him anymore. They turn around and see him onboard the Interceptor standing behind the wheel and casually examining it.)
Dazzle: (alarmed) Hey! You!
(They hurry on board and point their guns at him. Alastor pretends to be surprised.)
Dazzle: Get away from there!
Razzle: You don't have permission to be aboard there, mate!
Alastor: I'm sorry, it's just, it's such a pretty boat. I mean ship.
Razzle: What's your name?
Alastor: Bosco. Or Boscy, if you like.
Dazzle: (suspicious) What's your business in Port Royal, "Mr. Bosco"?
Razzle: Yeah, and no lies!
Alastor: (casually) Well then, I confess. It is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weasely black guts out.
Razzle: (irritated) I said no lies!
Dazzle: I think he's telling the truth.
Razzle: If he were telling the truth he wouldn't have told us.
Alastor: Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn't believe the truth even if he told it to you.
(Razzle and Dazzle consider that logic. Up in the fort, the ceremony has ended and all the high class demons enjoy the reception. Seviathan approaches Charlie, oblivious to how weary she is.)
Seviathan: May I have a moment?
(He walks her away from the party to the edge of the wall of the fort. She starts panting and he still doesn't seem to notice.)
Seviathan: (smiles) You look lovely, Charlie.
(She keeps looking uneasy and is unable to focus on his words. He mistakingly thinks he's making her uncomfortable.)
Seviathan: (endearingly) I apologize if I seem forward... but I must speak my mind. This promotion throws into sharp relief that which I have not yet achieved... A marriage to a fine woman. You have become a fine woman, Charlie.
Charlie: (weakly) I can't breathe!
(He turns away from her.)
Seviathan: Yes, I'm a bit nervous myself.
(Charlie faints and loses her balance. Seviathan doesn't see her as she falls off the wall towards the water. On the ship below, Alastor is in the middle of telling Razzle and Dazzle a story about himself.)
Alastor: And then they made me their chief...
(He's interrupted when they hear Charlie hitting the water just beyond the ship. They're alerted by it and turn in her direction. Seviathan looks next to him on the wall and sees her gone.)
Seviathan: (confused) Charlie?
(He looks down and notices the impact on the water below where she hit.)
Seviathan: (terrified) CHARLIE!
(One of the lieutenants, a tall blue-gray owl demon, runs up to Seviathan and grabs his arm as he almost dives in after Charlie.)
Stolas: The rocks! Sir, it's a miracle she missed them!
(Seviathan realizes he's right and they hurry off into the fort. Charlie sinks to the bottom of the water unconscious. Alastor and the goats are shocked by it.)
Alastor: Will you be saving her, then?
Dazzle: I can't swim.
(Razzle shakes his head to answer the same.)
Alastor: (disappointed) Pride of the Navy, you are.
(He strips off his hat, coat and belongings as quick as he can and shoves them in their arms.)
Alastor: Do not lose these.
(He steps onto the ship's railing and dives into the water. Charlie reaches the bottom and her medallion comes out from under her clothes. It faces up towards the surface and releases a big strange pulse that vibrates to the surface and echoes across the sea. Razzle and Dazzle see it but aren't sure they saw it as it happened so fast.)
Razzle: (puzzled) What was that?
(Dazzle shrugs. Then a strong gust of wind comes out of nowhere. They hold their hats to keep them from blowing off. The wind is felt all around the town. The hanging skeletal remains of the pirates Alastor had seen earlier sway in the wind. Alastor reaches Charlie and puts his arm around her. He struggles to pull them back up. They surface for a second before submerging again. He realizes her dress I'd weighing them down. He tears it open and pulls her out. The dress falls back down as they get back to the surface easier.)
(Seviathan, Lucifer and several men rush out of the fort to the dock of the Interceptor. Alastor reaches the dock and Razzle and Dazzle help him get Charlie out. They set her down on the dock and inspect her.)
Razzle: Not breathing!
Alastor: Move!
(Alastor takes a knife from Razzle's belt and cuts Charlie's corset. It opens and she suddenly awakes gasping for air. Alastor hands the corset to Razzle.)
Dazzle: (surprised) I never would have thought of that.
Alastor: Clearly, you've never been to Imp City.
(Charlie looks up at Alastor as he spots her medallion and holds it up. He stares at it closely.)
Alastor: (stunned) Where did you get that?
(Before she can answer, Seviathan and his men reach them. He points his new sword at Alastor as the soldiers point their rifles at him.)
Seviathan: (firmly) On your feet.
(Alastor stands up as Lucifer comes over and helps Charlie get up. He puts his coat around her.)
Lucifer: (relieved) Charlie! Are you all right?
Charlie: Yes... yes, I'm fine.
(Razzle drops the corset and nervously points to Alastor. Lucifer gets a good look at him and believes he's up to no good.)
Lucifer: (harshly) Shoot him!
Charlie: (annoyed) Father!
Lucifer: What?
Charlie: Commodore, do you really intend to kill my rescuer?
(Seviathan looks at her and nods to his men. They put their guns down. Alastor nods thankfully to Charlie. Seviathan sheathes his sword and extends his hand.)
Seviathan: I believe thanks are in order.
(Alastor politely shakes his hand but Seviathan's grips it hard and pulls his sleeve back exposing a large "P" mark on his arm.)
Seviathan: (aggressively) Had a brush with the Limbo Trading Company, did we... pirate?
(The soldiers aim their weapons at him again.)
Lucifer: Hang him!
Seviathan: Keep your guns on him, men. Stolas, fetch some irons.
(Seviathan rolls Alastor's sleeve up some more and finds a tattoo of a bird flying across water above the "P" mark.)
Seviathan: Well, well... Alastor Sparrow, isn't it?
Alastor: (smugly) Captain Alastor Sparrow, if you please, sir.
Seviathan: Well, I don't see your ship, "Captain".
Alastor: I'm in the market, as it were.
Razzle: He said he'd come to commandeer one.
Dazzle: (to Razzle) Told you he was telling the truth. (to Seviathan) These are his, sir.
(He holds Alastor's belongings up. Seviathan inspects the pistol and finds only one cartridge in it.)
Seviathan: No additional shot nor powder...
(He opens his compass and it points in a random direction.)
Seviathan: A compass that doesn't point north...
(He slightly pulls the sword from its sheath and observes the blade.)
Seviathan: And I half expected it to be made of wood.
(He puts the sword away and looks at Alastor unamused.)
Seviathan: (mockingly) You are, without doubt, the worst Pirate I've ever heard of.
Alastor: (smugly) But you have heard of me.
(Stolas walks up with some shackles. Seviathan pulls Alastor over and they put them on his wrists. Charlie steps forward in front of him.)
Charlie: (firmly) Commodore, I really must protest! Pirate or not, this man saved my life.
Seviathan: (stoically) One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness.
Alastor: (sarcastically) Though it seems enough to condemn him.
Seviathan: Indeed.
(Stolas finishes putting the shackles on him.)
Alastor: Finally.
(Alastor wraps the chain of the shackles around Charlie's neck. She's taken aback and the soldiers immediately draw their guns again. Alastor has Charlie as a shield.)
Lucifer: (anxious) No! No! Don't shoot!
Alastor: (grins) I knew you'd warm up to me. Commodore von Eldritch, my effects, please. And my hat.
(Seviathan hesitates and glares in in frustration.)
Alastor: (impatient) Commodore!
(Seviathan gives in and takes Alastor's stuff from Razzle and Dazzle. Alastor speaks into Charlie's ear.)
Alastor: Charlie, it is Charlie isn't it?
Charlie: (exasperated) It's Miss Magne.
Alastor: Miss Magne, if you'd be so kind? Come, dear, we don't have all day.
(She takes his stuff from Seviathan and he turns her around so she faces him.)
Alastor: Now, if you'll be very kind?
(She puts his belt back on him with the sword, gun and compass.)
Alastor: Easy on the goods, darling.
(She puts his hat and coat back on him.)
Charlie: You're despicable.
Alastor: (smirks) Sticks and stones, darling. I saved your life, you've save mine, we're square.
(He turns her around again so their facing the men who watch them cautiously. Alastor slowly backs up against a cargo gantry on the dock.)
Alastor: (pridefully) Gentleman... m'lady... you will always remember this as the day you almost caught Captain Alastor Sparrow.
(With that, he shoves Charlie into the men to distract them and kicks a belaying pin next to him. A cannon being held up by the gantry drops as he grabs a rope and is lifted up to the gantry. The cannon breaks through the dock between the soldiers and one of them falls through the hole. They watch as Alastor swings out and around the gantry.)
Lucifer: (desperately) Now will you shoot him?!
Seviathan: Open fire!
(The soldiers point their guns up at Alastor and shoot. They aim like stormtroopers and miss every shot. Alastor swings onto another gantry that has a rope leading down.)
Seviathan: On his heels!
(The men race after him as he uses his shackles to slide down the rope to the end of the dock. He runs onto the street as they fire at him some more. He crosses a bridge and dodges the shots. With his pursuers now at a distance behind him, he disappears into the town. The soldiers enter the town and begin to search for him. Seviathan turns to Stolas.)
Seviathan: Stolas, Mr. Sparrow has a dawn appointment with the gallows. I would hate for him to miss it.
(Stolas nods and they head off the find him. As the squads of armed soldiers scour the town, Alastor hides behind a statue on the side of the street. When the soldiers pass, he steps out and sees a sign for a blacksmith's place in the building next to him. He quickly goes through the doors.)
So in this version, the East India Trading Company is known as the Limbo Trading Company since it's set in the afterlife world and not the actual living world.
Alastor may not have his all his weird powers in this, but he still has his eccentric and cunning personality just like Jack Sparrow.
