Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Since you all were so nice, I decided not to make you wait a whole week. Enjoy.
The next morning, the men woke up on the hard ground. They barely slept and were extremely tired.
"Bloody floor," Jack said sitting up.
Someone came in and Jack hit Bill to wake him up. It was a young woman and she left a plate for each of them and silently went away. They decided not to eat any because they couldn't trust them.
"So what should we do?" Jack asked Bill.
"I don't know what they're going to have us do. If they make us fight then at least we've got our swords with us."
When dawn was approaching, someone came and opened their cage.
"Follow me," she said.
The two men were brought outside where everyone was waiting for them. All of them walked for about a half an hour to a large building of some sort. Jack and Bill entered behind the others to find that it was a stadium for them to fight in. The Queen was in the center and there were two others behind her. The Queen was wearing some sort of battle attire while the two behind were wearing long brown cloaks that hid them.
"Good morning Queenie," Jack said.
"We're doomed," Bill muttered.
"Good morning sirs," she said cordially.
"Sirs eh?"
"You are aged my senior so I don't want to disrespect you."
Bill motioned his head to the other two. "Who are they?"
"These are my assistants for this morning."
They took off the cloaks and it was of course Will and Elizabeth. Elizabeth was wearing a similar outfit from before except it was blue. Will had only a pair of brown pants, his boots and no shirt. Both of them had spears in their hands and both had the same blank gold eyes.
"Okay?"
"What'd you do to them," Bill asked.
"They've joined us."
"Yeah sure they did. Against their free will I'm sure."
The Queen smiled and said nothing more.
"So what do we have to do?" Jack asked.
"You have to both fight against the three of us. If you win then you are all free to go."
"And if you win," Bill asked.
"You're mine."
Jack and Bill whispered to each other for a few seconds.
"We accept but you have to come with us," Bill finally said.
Everyone was silent.
"Fine you have the next five minutes to get ready."
Jack and Bill both did a few stretches when they heard a whooshing noise. Will was twirling his spear with one hand to get ready.
"Has he even blinked in the past few minutes?" Jack asked.
Bill shook his head and gulped.
"Ready," Elizabeth's voice called out.
To Jack it seemed foreign and lost.
"Aye," Bill said.
"Then let it begin," Will said.
Will and Elizabeth ran at Jack and he blocked them the best he could with his sword. Bill and the Queen fought together off to the side.
"I know you're both in there. Somewhere. Can't we work this out?"
Elizabeth came only so close to stabbing him and Will aimed at his head.
"Guess not." Jack ducked once again and Elizabeth seemed to whisper something to the boy. They both came at him before Elizabeth fell back.
"Come on," the boy shouted.
"No, this is wrong."
Jack stood straight up. "What?"
"Jack, I can't hurt you. You're my uncle."
Bill had three seconds since Ame had fallen onto the floor (she tripped over her own feet). "Don't trust her."
"I don't," Jack said and she picked up the spear again to fight.
"You are a wise man," she said.
"Clearly you're under a spell," Jack said and they continued.
Bill and the Queen were having their own battle of wits so to speak.
"You're a jerk," she said. "Just like all men."
"See now I was going to compliment you myself but now I won't."
She aimed for his head and he ducked too.
"Switch?" Jack asked.
They both ducked the blows that were coming at them and continued with the other team.
"Hello Queenie," Jack said.
"Hello Captain Sparrow."
"Will come on, I know you're stronger than this," Bill pleaded. He was beginning to tire; that Queen was one tough lady. Now he had to go up against his son and his girlfriend at once. He hadn't actually fought anyone in years. He sparred with himself a few times a week but this was nothing like that. He got an idea suddenly. "Elizabeth, Jack's behind you."
Both of them turned their heads and Bill used the hilt of his sword to bash Will in the head.
"Nighty night son," he whispered.
Elizabeth was at his side in a moment and Bill held his sword to her neck. She glared at him and held Will's head on her lap.
Jack however had more to do.
Bill grabbed Will's fallen spear. "Jack!"
The man turned his head as Bill threw it to him and began to use it instead.
"Even fight now love."
Suddenly, he aimed for her feet and got her to fall down. He held onto the spear and pointed his sword at her face. She shut her eyes as though waiting for him to deliver the final blow but it never came. Jack sheathed it and held out a hand to her so she could stand. She opened her eyes and took it.
"I guess we're free then."
"I guess you are."
"But Queen Ame...," one of her maidens said.
"No, it is my time to leave here. It was a fair fight and they won. Hope, please free them. Now, if you'll all excuse me I must pack up my belongings."
She left everyone just standing (or sitting) there.
"Well, you heard the lady, help them," Jack said.
Some of them dispersed while others just stood there crying. Jack and Bill felt a little out of place but watched in amazement as Hope began to process of helping the kids. All she did was put her hands out in front of her and chant something. Elizabeth blinked and her eyes returned to normal. Will opened his eyes and they looked fine too.
"What happened," he asked clutching his head.
"You were under an enchantment and I removed it for you. You are both free to go."
"Nice look William," Jack said.
Will looked over at Jack, then at Bill and finally at Elizabeth who he was still lying on. And he had no shirt on. He jumped up and shrugged.
Elizabeth frowned (she had been clearly enjoying it) and looked over at the two men. "Care to explain what happened."
"On the way back. By the way, this is Bill."
Ame only had a few items with her when she had arrived so there wasn't much she wanted to bring back with her. Slowly she took off the outfit that she wore and went back to what she had to begin with. She put on a dress after removing the headdress and makeup. There weren't any mirrors so she didn't know if she looked fine. Ame took one final look around and left.
"...and basically I control the men at the other end," Bill said.
"I wouldn't say control. More like order around," Jack said.
The four of them were walking back Elizabeth and Will hand in hand.
"But that still doesn't give us any clue as to how we're going to find the Pearl," Will said.
"The island itself is enchanted."
They looked to see a woman in a common dress. Her long black hair moving about freely in a light wind and Elizabeth promptly fainted. Will caught her before she hit the ground as everyone else just stared at the woman.
"It can't be," Bill said.
"You're supposed to be missing," Jack said pointing.
She refused to meet their eyes. "Hello brothers."
Hope you liked it. Sorry the fighting was vague, I couldn't think of how it should sound. I shamelessly enjoyed writing Will shirtless (you know we all want it and the mental images were nice right). Review please.
