Now onto updating this story. School, YouTube, and Discord are a LOT of work.
Chapter 6:
"Captain!" A voice cried. "They're 'ere!"
Jack snapped his head to the man who cried out, seeing him pointing. He looked in the direction the hand was pointing towards, out over the water. In the distance, a ship could be seen.
"Ready the cannons!" He called up to Gibbs, who had half the crew aboard the Pearl.
"Aye, Cap'n!" The First Mate responded, repeating the order as he hurried to work.
The men on the other four ships did the same. Only half the crews were on the ship, the others taking a position on land. That half on land included Jack himself. Angelica was aboard the Bloody Dragon, her First Mate in command of her land men.
"Ready your weapons!" Edward Teague ordered the land crews, being among them. He made his way over to his son, stopping beside him. "Ye ready for this, Jackie? It be the final battle ye may ever fight."
"I know." Jack replied, looking at him grimly. "None of us will ever be ready for 'his though, Dad."
"Aye, true." The older pirate nodded thoughtfully.
"Do ye think we can win, even if we 'ave the mermaids on our side?" He asked.
"I don't know, Jackie. Best hope so." The Keeper sighed.
The ship continued to draw closer and as soon as it was close enough, Jack realized that it didn't have any weapons ready. A single ship, come straight towards a small fleet, not preparing it's cannons? Peculiar.
"Hold your fire!" Jack called out, uncertainly.
The ship lowered it's anchor as it reached the other ones. It's crew raised the sails. Jack took a few steps forward, the water up to his knees. He squinted as he tried to identify the people aboard the other ship.
"Wait a minute...is that who I think it is?" He mumbled to himself.
"Ahoy, Jack! Need some help?" The familiar voice of William Turner came.
