Zarya's POV
"You wanted to see me?" I asked Tia Dalma. The Black Pearl had just docked in Shipwreck Cove and when I first saw it my jaw dropped. Afterwards Barbossa said Tia Dalma wanted to see me. She was locked in the brig and I felt bad she was imprisoned.
"Come closer Zarya" Tia Dalma said and I got closer to her bars. "I wanted to tell you that I will be released soon"
"Yeah I heard" I replied. "I just hope I haven't pissed you off in any way"
"No child you have not" Zarya reassured me. "In the short time I've known you I've come to like you and thus when I am released you won't be targeted by me"
"Thank you Calypso if it weren't for you I wouldn't have my mate back, for that I am grateful"
"Best of luck young dragoness" Tia Dalma told me before I turned and headed back up to the main deck.
Will's POV
Thanks to Jack I was tossed off of the Pearl and was rescued by Beckett. I didn't trust the man but I had to pretend I was on his side if I wanted to get Elizabeth back and free my father. At the moment I was enjoying some tea when suddenly none other than Davy Jones entered the cabin.
"I cannot be summoned like some mongrel pup" Jones said in annoyance.
"Apparently you can" Beckett told him firmly before nodding to me. "I believe you know each other"
I turned to Jones and gave him a nod. Jones laughed before approaching me.
"Come to join my crew again Master Turner?"
"Not yours" I replied before looking to Beckett. "His"
I then turned to Jones again.
"Jack Sparrow sends his regards"
"Sparrow?"
I shot Beckett a questioning look.
"You didn't tell him? We rescued Jack from the Locker along with the Black Pearl"
I took a sip of my tea while Jones demanded at Beckett.
"What else have you not told me?"
"There is an issue far more troublesome" Beckett stood up. "I believe you are familiar with a person called Calypso"
Immediately Jones perked up at the name.
"Not a person, a heathen god, one who delights in cursing men with their wildest dreams and revealing them to be hollow and naught but ash, she also blessed water dragons to take human forms and allowed them to have a single true mate to prevent extinction, the world is well rid of her"
"Not quite so well actually" I interrupted and Jones looked to me. "The Brethren Court intends to release her"
"No they cannot! The First Court promised to imprison her forever that was our agreement!"
"Your agreement?" Beckett asked turning to Jones.
"I showed them how to bind her, she could not be trusted, she gave me no choice, we must act before they release her"
The way Jones spoke of Calypso was of one who once loved someone.
"You loved her" I stated and Jones looked to me. "She's the one and then you betrayed her"
"She pretended to love me" Jones hissed walking over to me. "She betrayed me"
I stood up and looked Jones straight in the eye.
"And after which betrayal did you cut out your heart I wonder"
Jones then smacked my tea out of my grasp.
"Do not test me" Jones growled.
"I hadn't finished that" I countered. "You will free my father along with Rune and her mate Tyrion, you will also have to deal with Zarya's wrath when you cross paths with her again, when Jack died she endured a great loss and now she has him back she won't let anyone get near him"
I then looked to Beckett.
"And you will guarantee Elizabeth's safety"
Zarya's POV
Even though we had arrived at Shipwreck Cove we needed to wait for the other pirate lords to arrive. It was now night and I was eying the many pirates from around the globe. I was back in my usual clothes and Jack came up to my side intertwining his hand into mine.
"There's not be a gathering like this in our lifetime" Barbossa said.
"And I owe them all money" Jack added and this got me to roll my eyes.
An hour later everyone was gathered in the hall where the Brethren Court met and I leaned against the wall while Jack was messing around for the meeting to start. Barbossa used a cannonball as a gavel to start the meeting.
"As he who issued summons I convene this the Fourth Brethren Court"
Everyone took their seats and Barbossa called out for everyone to present their pieces of eight. One by one each pirate lord handed over their respective piece.
"Those aren't pieces of eight, they're just pieces of junk" Pintel said and I smirked. Ragetti collected the pieces and he had to give up his eye since it was Barbossa's piece.
"Sparrow!" a pirate shouted. Jack moved his hand to the top of his bandana about to remove his piece but stopped.
"Might I point out"
I face palmed as Jack on purpose delayed what he was supposed to do.
"We are still short one pirate lord and I'm as content as a cucumber to wait until Sao Feng joins us"
"Sao Feng is dead"
We all turned to see Elizabeth dressed up as a pirate lord. I smirked because she looked like a real pirate and a total bad ass too.
"He fell to the Flying Dutchman"
Everyone began to talk at once as Elizabeth put her sword into the globe.
"He made you captain? They're giving the bloody title away now"
I went over and smacked my mate's head while Elizabeth approached the head of the table.
"Listen, Listen to me" Elizabeth began.
"OI! SHUT THE HELL UP! ALL OF YOU!" I shouted.
Everyone shut their traps and Elizabeth shot me a thank you look before continuing.
"Our location has been betrayed, Jones is under the command of Lord Beckett, they're on their way here"
One pirate lord asked who the traitor was and said person wasn't here. Elizabeth asked where Will was and Jack told her he was not present. When Elizabeth suggested we fight everyone burst into laughter.
"Shipwreck Cove is fortress, a well supplied fortress, there is no need to fight if they cannot get to us" Mistress Ching pointed out.
"There be a third course" Barbossa went on "In another age, this very spot the First Brethren Court captured the sea goddess and bound her bones"
Everyone nodded in agreement and Barbossa continued.
"That was a mistake, oh we tamed the seas for ourselves aye, but opened the door to Beckett and his ilk, better were the days when master of the seas came not from bargains struck with eldritch sea creatures , but from the sweat of a man's brow and the strength of his back alone, you all know this"
Barbossa paused for a second before going on.
"Gentleman, ladies we must free Calypso"
The room was silent before everyone began to protest.
This continued for a few minutes before Barbossa got on top of the table and shot his pistol to shut everyone up.
"Lt be the First Court who imprisoned Calypso, we should be the ones to free her and in her gratitude she will see it fit to grant us boons"
"Whose boons? Your boons? Utterly deceptive twaddle speak says I"
Barbossa got off the table and looked to Jack.
"If you have a better alternative please share" Barbossa suggested.
"Cuttlefish" Jack said. I shot my mate a WTF look while he began to walk and use his swag. "Let us not, forget dear friends, forget our dear friends the cuttlefish, flipping glorious little sausages, pen them together they'll devour each other without a second thought, human nature isn't it? Or fish nature, so yes we could hole up here well provisioned and well armed, half of us would be dead within the month which seems quite grim to me, any way you slice it or uh as my colleague so naively suggests we can release Calypso and we can pray she will be merciful, I rather doubt it"
"Hell hath no fury than woman scorned" I joked with Elizabeth and she smiled. Jack continued with his dialogue before looking to Elizabeth.
"We are left with one option, I agree and I cannot believe the words are coming out of me mouth"
Jack then turned to Elizabeth.
"Captain Swann we must fight"
"You've always run away from a fight" Barbossa told Jack.
"Have not"
"Have so"
"Have not"
"Have so"
"Have not!"
"You have so and you know it"
"Have not slander and calumny, I have only ever embraced the oldest and noblest of pirate traditions, I submit that here now that is we all must do, we must fight to run away"
"Your mate is an idiot" Elizabeth whispered into my ear.
"At times yes he is" I agreed.
The other pirates agreed with Jack before Barbossa called out.
"As per the code, an act of war and this be exactly that can only be declared by the pirate king"
"You made up that up!" Jack accused.
"Did I now? I call on Cap'n Teague keeper of the code"
Jack's face paled at the mention of his father. One of the other pirates said something stupid and a gunshot rang out making me jump. Behind Jack blowing smoke away from his pistol was Edward Teague Sparrow.
"Code is the law"
Again my jaw dropped because Jack's father looked exactly like Keith Richards. Jack continued to be uncomfortable as his father began to approach the table. I turned my head away so Jack couldn't see me laughing quietly. The other pirates sat down and I looked back to my future father-in-law. He was Jack's spitting image and I knew where my mate got his good looks from.
"You're in my way boy" Teague told his son. Jack moved aside as the pirate codex was brought out. The book was f**king huge!
Teague then whistled and the dog from the film appeared with the keys. Pintel and Ragetti were shocked to see the pooch was still alive.
"Sea turtles mate" Teague told them and the dog gave the keys to his master and barked before getting off the table. Teague unlocked the codex and opened it. He eyed the page he was looking at and scanned the contents until he found what he was looking for.
"Barbossa is right"
Barbossa made a mocking bow and I tuned out the conversation until Jack suggested a vote. Teague went to lounge in his chair and began to play his guitar. Each pirate lord voted for themselves until Jack gave his vote to Elizabeth.
"Say what?" Elizabeth asked not believing her ears.
"I know curious isn't it?"
The pirate lords began to bicker and forth until Jack mentioned.
"Am I to understand that you lot will not be keeping to the code then?"
A string broke from Teague's guitar and he looked up. Everyone shut their mouths and Mistress Ching said.
"Very well then"
Everyone looked to Elizabeth.
"What say you Captain Swann king of the Brethren Court?"
"Prepare every vessel that floats at dawn, we're at war"
Sri Sumbhajee stood up and called out in his high pitched voice.
"And so we shall go to war"
Everyone shouted their agreement and I watched Jack talk with his father.
"Wasn't expecting that weren't you?" I teased Elizabeth.
"No I wasn't" Elizabeth answered me and she smiled. I saw Jack wave me over and I excused myself from Elizabeth and walked over to my mate.
"Meet me woman" Jack said introducing me to his father. "This is Zarya, Zarya love this is me Dad"
"It's nice to meet you lass" Captain Teague said standing up. "Jackie was just telling me about you"
"Did he also mentioned that I'm a water dragon?"
"Of course I did love" Jack interrupted. "He also knows we're mate bound and I want to marry you as soon as possible"
"He's forgetting one other thing" I told Teague. "You're going to have a grandchild"
Immediately Teague's lit up in excitement and he smiled.
"Told you he would be excited to hear that" Jack teased me. I rolled my eyes at my mate's remark.
Keith Richards pulled it off playing Jack's old man XD.
