TMNT: Yep, of course they are. :P Got to have the characters from the latest movie in it too, since this is more like a sequel to DMTNT/SR. Wouldn't be the same if I kept them out of it.
MMM: Yeah, they don't stand much of a chance. Beckett's son is certainly making sure of that. Sending out dozens of ships in each direction.
Captain Jack's POV
Chapter 2:
Captain Jack Sparrow walked among the remains of Tortuga, frowning. He kicked a skull out of the way. Edward Teague and Joshamee Gibbs followed him.
"They be hunting us, aye, Jack?" Gibbs asked.
"Aye, mate." Jack replied grimly. "We're no longer safe anywhere out 'ere."
"What do you reckon we do, Jackie?" Teague asked his son.
"We can't run from this." He sighed. He frowned as he stepped into a skeletal ribcage. He yanked on his foot. "Oh bugger...C'mon…" He tried to yank his foot free again, only resulting in pulling his foot out of his boot. He let out an exasperated sigh. "Really…?"
"Jack!" Gibbs reminded him that he wasn't alone.
"Right…" He cleared his throat. "We fight. It's all we can do, unless you count parlaying, which would result in us being hanged anyway." He pulled his boot out of the skeleton's ribcage and put it back on his foot. "Either we go down fighting or we die as cowards."
"Sounds like a plan." His First Mate gave a determined smile.
"A dangerous one." Teague nodded.
"Well...we could try to run away, but we can't outrun the world now, can we?" Jack raised an eyebrow. "They'd catch us eventually."
"Jackie, you've seen what they did to Tortuga." His father gestured to the remains of everything around them. "Do you really think that we truly stand a chance?"
"...No, Dad." He shook his head. "We stand no chance, but it's still worth trying."
"Is it?" Gibbs asked quietly. "Tortuga had to be at least half of our population, Jack. I reckon more. We'll lose everything in this final battle."
"I know, mate." Jack sighed. "Look, you two don't have to fight, but I am. They're trying to take away our freedom don't you see? I can't let them do that."
"And why not?" Gibbs asked him curiously.
"Being a pirate is all about freedom, savvy?"
"Fine." Teague decided. "I'm in. Only because it's you, Jackie, and if I know you, you'll get yourself killed."
"Probably will anyway." He shrugged carelessly. "Gibbs?"
The man looked thoughtful for a moment before he replied,"Aye, Jack, I'm with you too."
Jack smiled wryly. "Good then. Let's get back to the ships and start gathering what's left of us, savvy?"
Both men nodded in agreement.
"Lead the way, Jackie." Teague encouraged him.
"We'll take what we can…" He nodded with determination.
"And give them nothing back." Gibbs finished strongly.
