------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A fight begins. Cannon balls flying everywhere, men dying, screaming, shouting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLACK PEAR DECK

The Liberty, Kings' ship crashes next to the Pearl and sailors start invading it.

Sailor#1: "It's the Black Pearl…"

Sailor#2: "Find them…"

TIA DALAM'S SHACK.

Elizabeth's stomach is now huge, she no longer looks sick. She's wearing for the first time in a long time a dress.

Tia is again at the table looking into a bowl.

Tia: "It's started."

Elizabeth: "How does it look?"

Tia: "Even…"

Elizabeth: "Can you find out about Jack?"

BLACK PEARL DECK

Jack and Will look at the approaching sailors and immediately break away from each other and start swinging at the soldiers. Jack Kills one and will take son two at the same time. Jack trespasses th second.

Jack: "Sorry…"

Governor Swann comes onto the deck from the cargo hole followed by bootstrap and Norrington. Each pulls out a sword and starts fighting. Kings approaches Jack.

Kings: "He, Captain Jack Sparrow, we finally meet."

Jack: "You know me?..."

They start fighting and talking at the same time.

Kings: "When I was a lad I was crossing from England with my father. We were attacked by a ship who's name I still remember. The Black rose."

Jack: "Ha…"

Jack ducks from a swing by Kings.

Kings: "you and your father murdered my father and his friends."

Jack swings at him and with the strength makes him fall back. He turns his back on him and parries from and attack by Mullroy and Murtogg.

Jack: "I remember you two…"

He pushes them back. He notices will being surrounded my three pirates. Curses himself for what he's about to do, runs out to where they are and stabs two in the back.

Will: "I didn't need yer help sparrow."

Jack: "I beg to differ."

They start fighting each other.

Jack: "Fighting like that no wonder she left you."

Will pushes him back.

Jack: "Ha, those three hours a day of practice you had with Elizabeth paid off."

Will: "Don't go there, Pirate"

Jack: "If you were one maybe she'd still be with you. But no, yer a boring eunuch!"

Two sailors come from behind each one and they both move to the one opposite and start fighting them.

Will: "We're not finished sparrow…."

Jack: "If you keep fighting like that you will be soon."

Bellow on deck, Kings pushes Gibbs back who starts fighting another sailor and Kings turns to face Governor. Swann.

Swann: "George…"

Kings: "Mr. Swann?"

Gibbs kills two sailors an now has two swords. He keeps fighting.

TIA DALAM'S SHACK

Tia: "He's fine…"

Elizabeth: "And…"

Tia: "they're fine too…"

Elizabeth sighs in relief.

BLACK PEARL DECK

James and some of his crew members jump onto the pearl as the ship they were on goes down. The rose is anchored away from the fighting.

James: "Jack!"

Jack turns in time to stop a sailor hacking through his head.

Jack: "Thanks…."

James and his soldiers continue fighting. Along some of the other ships the action starts to die out. The few surviving pirates start to jump onto other ships to help. The company's forces are devastated. Most of the fighting is concentrated aboard the Pearl, the Liberty, the Dutchman and the Empress.

Jack approaches James. They start fighting some sailors and talking.

Jack: "How's it going?"

James: "Alright, we're down twenty ships, they're down 'bout 35."

Jack: "and men…"

James: "We're in advantage too."

Jack: "Good…"

DAUNTLESS DECK

Beckett: "We've suffered a great loss."

Mercer: " Sir, will we not fight?"

Beckett: "It's a lost battle mercer… It's a lost battle…"

BLACK PEARL CABIN

Swann: "How've you been my boy?"

They duck at the sound of an explosion.

Kings: "Alright, military is a good life."

Swann: "You're father wouldn't have approved."

Kings: "T'is true… and How's Lizzie?"

Swann: "Engaged…"

Kings: "The commodore?"

Swann: "ha, no… The blacksmith."

Kings: "Turner?! Really..."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The battle is coming to a close. There are about 5 company ships left I bad state and 10 pirate ones. Some of the company ships have no men as they are all dead. The Dauntless is still sailing away from action. The Liberty is anchored next to the Pearl. The Pearl, the Empress and the Dutchman are still in relatively good shape and the Rose is still anchored safely away from any harm.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLACK PEARL DECK

Jack: "Where's Beckett?!"

Gibbs fights off a soldier

Gibbs: "He hasn't been seen."

Marty runs up to them one hand over his head for protection.

Marty: "Captain, you should see this!"

Jack takes the Spy glass and Points it in the direction of Marty's finger.

He sees the Dauntless and aboard it a bunch of soldiers, and Beckett looking at him with a Spy Glass.

Jack: "Mr. Gibbs…"

He hands him the spy glass and Gibbs sees the dauntless.

Gibbs: "Aye Captain."

The Black pearl starts to move. Aboard it sail Jack, Will, Marty, Cotton, Bootstrap, Gov. Swann, a bloody Norrington, James, some of his pirates, Kings. The Empress follows leaving 5 ships to fight the remaining soldiers. Aboard it are Barbosa, Pintel, Ragetti and Sao and some other pirates who happened to be fighting aboard it at that particular moment.

The two ships approach the Dauntless.

DAUNTLESS

Beckett sees the two ships move towards him and panic rises in his blood.

Beckett: "To Arms…Defend the Mast."

Men start running around. In the distance the two nearing ships split and start to come from two different directions.

Murtogg & Mullroy: "This isn't good…."

BLACK PEARL DECK

Jack: "Role out the guns…"

The two pirate ships come very close to the dauntless until, one on each side, they stop on either side of it. The pirates attack the Soldiers, the Soldiers attack the pirates.

Beckett hides in his cabin.

Pirates get killed and Soldiers get killed.

Jack: "Find Beckett!"

He parries a soldier and swiftly turns and kills another.

TIA DALMA'S SHACK

Tia and Elizabeth look at the swirling mixture inside the clay vase

DAUNTLESS DECK

The wind is extremely strong, Jack is standing on a railing fighting off two soldiers, James comes and takes on one, Jack kills the other. He turns on the railing and faces the battle before him. Pirates are killing soldiers everywhere, guns are firing both where he is and on the boats behind him. Will fights two pirates who are chasing him up the stairs. He kicks them down and spots Jack. Jack turns to face him. They start fighting again. Their wet hair glued to their faces.

Will: "I helped you several times, you double crossing…"

Jack swings at him and Will ducks.

Jack: "If it wasn't for me ye'd never have won her heart."

Will: "Well when you look at it that way…."

He lunges at Jack, Jack jumps up and grabs a rope and lands on the other side of Will. Jack holds his sword up and stops will. The fight between them stops. All round them fighting is still going on but there are less and less men.

Jack: "Boy, I'm sorry, but she made her choice, and let me say she made a good one."

Will pushes Jack over the railing.

Jack lands on a soldier who was fighting Bootstrap. He looks around confused, shakes his head and stands up.

Bootstrap: "Thanks…"

Jack: "Any time."

He grabs his fallen hat and place sit on his head. Suddenly there are pirates on one side and Soldiers on the other. Beckett comes out when the fighting stops. In the distance fighting is still going on.

Jack: "Lord Beckett ...how nice of you to join us…"

Jack pulls his sleeve up and reveals the 'P'. Beckett pulls his shirt aside and reveals a P marked in sword cuts.

Jack: "We have some issues to settle."

He lunges at Beckett. They start Fighting. Everyone else starts fighting. Kings and Swann attacking two soldiers, Sao attacking 4, Pintel and Ragetti fighting Murtogg and Mullroy and the rest fighting other soldiers. Soon Jack and Beckett are at the Helm. Will runs up and, after Jack throws Beckett to the floor and is about to kill him, Will steps in front and holds a pistol to Jack's head.

Will: "Lord Beckett, I'm offering my services to you."

Jack: "You fool…"

He jumps forwards and Will moves aside, Jack's blade cuts into his arm. He falls back in pain. Jack goes to fight Beckett but he isn't there, he's down fighting James. Suddenly James ducks him and he finds himself facing Norrington. He holds his sword to his throat.

Beckett: "James Norrington. You are a disgrace to your class."

Norrington: "If that class is the same as yours then I take great offence as I assume you're implying I'm even worse then you."

Beckett: "You were a Military man with a promising Carrier."

Norrington: "Better a pirate then a soldier for you."

Norrington spits in Beckett's face and with that, Beckett lunges forwards and trespasses him with his sword. Norrington falls to the floor, in a matter of seconds he's dead.

Swann: "Commodore…"

Beckett turns to face him.

Beckett: "Ho, the joy I shall have informing the King of your unfortunate death. Governor"

He lifts his sword as if to kill the governor, but Kings gets in the way.

Beckett: "Kings, what on earth are you doing?!"

Kings: "This man was like a father to me, to kill him, you'll have to kill me."

Beckett: "Don't be a fool, Kings."

Kings draws his sword and pints it at Beckett's forehead.

Gov. Swann moves away. Kings and Beckett start fighting and Beckett manages to through him through the window of the Cabin. Beckett turns to the remaining pirates. The closest is James. He approaches him and they start fighting. Jack runs down and gets in the way of Beckett and his father. Beckett holds his sword to Jack's neck.

Beckett: "I can't begin to describe the pleasure I shall feel in killing you."

Jack lunges at him, he moves aside, James lashes at him, Beckett lashes as James. James' sword goes through Beckett's leg but Beckett's sword goes right through James' middle. He bends over in pain. Jack sees this and punches Beckett onto the floor. He holds his sword to his forehead.

Jack: "You disgusting…"

Spits on him

Jack: "little man."

James: "Jack…"

Jack kicks Beckett and kneels next to his father.

James: "Son, this was an excellent battle to go out on. You shall be remembered as a great Pirate."

Jack: "I learnt with the best…father."

James looks surprised at the use of the word.

James: "I…I…"

He dies. Beckett stands up behind Jack and is ready to slash him when Jack turns and thrushes his sword through Beckett's middle. Beckett's eyes go blank. He bends over. Jack removes his sword and kicks Beckett down.

He steps over him and lunges at Will. They fight again.

Swann: "William, Sparrow. Stop it."

Will: "Sorry, Governor, I detest pirates."

Swann: "What are you talking about? It was the reason my daughter chose you."

Will: "Yea well, her decisions aren't very permanent are they?"

Swann: "What is that supposed to mean?"

But Jack and Will are fighting around again. Pintel, Ragetti, Murtogg and Mullroy have stopped fighting and are now sitting in a corner looking at the last few sailors die.

Will trips over a barrel and Jack holds his sword to his neck.

Will: "Kill me, prove what a good pirate you are, make Elizabeth deserve you."

Jack makes the blade touch his neck.

Jack: "That would make me no better then you. She fell in love with the man, not the pirate."

He withdraws his sword and turns to fight a sailor who he very quickly throws overboard. When he turns he sees Will fighting Sao.

Jack: "Will don't!"

Will kills Sao. Immediately the weather becomes even worst and a whirlpool forms in the ocean. The boats start to be drawn towards it. In the distance, the pirate boats that aren't destroyed start to flee with all the plunder they've obtained.

Bootstrap: "You Fool"

Will: "He's a pirate! He deserves this-"

Bootstrap: "So are you. But he's not just any pirate. He's the son of Calypso. The goddess of the seas."

Jack: "Good going…"

With the wind the mast of the Dauntless breaks off.

Will: "Run!"

Voice/Thunder: "TURNER!"

Everybody looks at the sky. Will looks around, suddenly a huge wave wipes him off deck and he is drawn towards the whirlpool.

Jack looks at the pearl. They all start to run towards it as the Dutchman is to heavy to escape the pull of the whirlpool and the Dauntless is half destroyed. But Barbosa stops them getting aboard.

Barbosa: "No, no Jack…"

Swann: "Step aside…"

Barbosa: "No, see, this is in fact Sparrow's fault. You should have listened to me Jack. I'll get the pearl either way. This is just worse for you."

Jack draws his sword.

Barbosa: "No, you don't want to fight me, you don't want the governor to return to the swamp and inform his daughter that her lover, that father of her child is in fact dead do you?"

Jack lunges at him with his sword. Everyone else gets on the ship. Gibbs runs to the helm and starts steering. All the other men take their jobs to try and save their lives.

Jack and Barbosa are still fighting. Barbosa lunges at Jack and cuts his arm. Jack moves his sword to his left hand and starts fighting again.

Barbosa: "You have guts, I'll give you that."

The ship starts passing by the whirlpool. Jack lunges at Barbosa and manages to throw him overboard, he is sucked in to the whirlpool at the same time as the Dutchman and the Dauntless.

Jack looks as he disappears into the depths. He then turns to face Gov. Swann.

Swann: "You…"

Jack: "Governor, this is not the time nor the place. Yes Elizabeth is to have my child, but if we don't get out of this, she'll have it alone."

Swann: "I…alright….but we are not finished."

They run around helping navigate the ship. Suddenly in the strong winds the small mast breaks off and the ship reduces speed.

Gibbs: "Capn' she won't make it…"

Jack looks the unharmed Rose in the distance.

Jack: "Make for the rose…"

The ship finally reaches the Rose and the gang way is lowered, they all run across to the safe ship. The pearl slowly starts being drawn backwards. Jack looks as his beloved ship is sucked to the depths once again.

Jack: "Why is it that Barbosa always ends up with my ship?!"

The Rose starts to sail away from the whirlpool and the weather starts to calm.
