Hizir watched as the black ship started sailing through his part of the sea. It was making better speed than he thought a ship that size would be going. Far behind it he could see his older brother's ship. Hizir had a plan that would be perfect for a ship this size. His brother would know what to do as soon as he started his maneuvers.

Oruc watched as his brother's ship started to cut the Pearl off. They both knew these waters better than anyone. He would force the Pearl to ground. There she would be stuck and unable to escape. They would board her together and split the goods.

Amphirite again was warned by one of her sea creatures that the Pearl had not headed back. The ship was continuing its journey on their quest to find Will. Poseidon had gone to take care of some lost sailors so she had time to cause trouble for this ship. She hurried on her way.

Her anger was producing a storm unlike any other in the Mediterranean Sea. Jack immediately recognized what was happening but the two other pirate ships were taking by surprise.

Hizir cut the Pearl off and forced her into shallow waters. When she hit the bottom, all the crew were knocked off their feet. Jack ordered the crew to prepare for boarding while he tried to figure a way out of this mess.

Hizir ordered his men to board before the black ship was broken apart from hitting the bottom and from the storm. As Hizir's crew boarded they were meant with the fiercest fighting they had ever encountered. Even this man who seemed small in statue was fighting as well as his best fighter. Hizir stayed on his ship tending to it because of the storm. While most of his crew was engaged in fighting on the deck four of his men made it below deck and found the captain's cabin. They broke down the door and were promptly greeted with swords pointed in their faces.

"Well now what have we here fellows," the tallest of the four said, "looks like this captain keeps 'imself busy wit two women."

"I think not," Elizabeth said striking at the man.

Elizabeth and Jess found them busy each fighting two men. It was hard to keep their footing with the storm swaying the Pearl. Jess found herself slipping and Elizabeth quickly went over and protected her as best she could. The shorter pirate fighting Jess took advantage of Jess' fall and swung at her. She felt the sting of his sword again the top of her arm. Two of the men seeing that the other's seemed to have these women under control saw another door. They opened it to see two children cowering together under the bed.

"Out ye go or else ye see ye mothers' die," one of the pirates laughed.

"No," cried Elizabeth, "leave them alone," she said as she ran one of the pirates through.

The pirates picked up the children and held a pistol to each of their heads. "Now ladies, if ye will get in there." He motioned to the room where the children had been hiding. As soon as Elizabeth and Jess got into the room, the pirates used the furniture from the room to block them in.

The storm picked up even more intensity. Then Hizir saw his brother's ship approaching. The storm had caused waves larger than anyone had ever seen. Suddenly Oruc's ship was struck with a wave that sent it to the spot where Hizir originally had wanted the Pearl to go. Oruc's ship began to immediately break apart, spilling men and cargo into the rough sea. Hizir ordered the ship be readied to help his brother.

Hizir's men decided that the Pearl wasn't going to last much longer before it would break up so they made their escape back to Hizir with a little extra, two small children.

Hizir greeted two of the men with a slap, "this is what you bring me? Two children? Take them below. We'll deal with them later."

Luck was on their side for once Jack thought; because the large wave that caused Oruc's to break apart caused the Pearl to be freed from the bottom. Jack quickly ordered that the Pearl sail away from the pirates and onto their destination.

Jack called to Mr. Gibbs to check on the families below. Mr. Gibbs quickly went below and in a brief time came up. His head lowered.

"Gibbs," Jack asked, "is all fine below."

"Uh, no captain," Gibbs stated, "Jess was hurt but she'll be alright. Being stitched up as we speak."

"But she's alright, right?"

"Aye, captain but appears that the pirates they took the children after they locked Jess and Elizabeth in the Jasmine's room. At least we haven't found the wee ones yet."

That was all Jack needed to hear, "Men prepare to turn around. We're going back and we're going to fight."
