Shinobi of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Medallion
By Yami a.k.a Rachel
Chapter Six
Barbossa didn't think things could have turned out any better for him. His curse was finally going to be lifted. He had both medallions, and all the blood that needed repaid. He smiled the entire way down the tunnel and into the cave. He guided Will up to the stone chest as Pintel guided Yami and Ragetti guided Sasuke. Pintel was telling Sasuke and Will "No reason to fret. Prick of the finger and you can be on your way." One of the pirates came up to them and said "We want to make sure we lift the curse completely, we spill it all!" Pintel looked at the two and said "Guess there is reason to fret."
Once the three were standing over the stone chest, Sasuke looked over at Yami to see how she was taking their situation. Sasuke couldn't believe what he saw when he looked over at her. She was staring down at the stone chest. Sadness was clearly etched in her face. She had a bruise on her cheek from where Pintel had slapped her. "Yami?" He whispered. She looked over at him and Sasuke was stabbed with emotional pain like he had never felt before. 'Her eyes...their so dead...so...empty.' He thought. "I don't want to watch you die." She said softly. Will was watching the two. He wanted to tell them that everything would be alright, but he didn't want to blow his cover. 'Hurry up Jack.' He thought.
Meanwhile, Jack was making his way to the docks of Port Royal. He smiled as he watched a whole fleet of British Royal Navy soldiers came running to the docks to meet him and more than likely shoot him. As the boat made a full and complete stop, he got off the boat along with the rest of his crew. Norrington made his way to the front of the fleet. Elizabeth walked up to Norrington and hugged him. "I'm glad your safe Elizabeth." He said. Elizabeth smiled and said "Yes I'm alright, but Will's not." Norrington looked from Elizabeth, to Jack and his crew along with Kakashi and his two remaining students.
Elizabeth saw the look of resentment as he looked at Jack. "Norrington please, help us save Will. As a wedding gift." The Governor, who had just arrived at the scene said "Elizabeth, are you accepting the Commodore's proposal?" Elizabeth looked at Norrington and said "Yes, I am." Norrington couldn't believe what he was hearing. Elizabeth was accepting his proposal. Jack looked surprised, seeing as how he thought that Elizabeth loved Will. He walked up to Norrington and said "A wedding, I love weddings! Drinks all around!" When Norrington glared at Jack, the pirate held out his arms and said "I know, clap him in irons right?" Norrington continued to look at Jack and ordered "Get the ship ready men, we're going on a rescue mission."
Barbossa looked around at his crew and said "Okay men, lets try this again!" The crew shouted in happiness. Barbossa looked over at Sasuke and said "Boy, I'm letting you go to do only one thing, and it's not to let you escape." Sasuke glared at him. "You are to try and take that necklace off of Miss. Koi there." When Sasuke didn't say anything, Barbossa silently cut Sasuke's bounds and watched as Sasuke walked behind Yami. Sasuke grabbed hold of the clasp and was able to take the necklace off. Barbossa said "Good, now get over here." Sasuke wordlessly did as he was told and walked over to Barbossa.
"Hold out your hand boy." Sasuke held out his hand that had the medallion and waited for Barbossa to do something. Barbossa roughly took Sasuke's hand and made a fairly good size cut. Sasuke grimaced as Barbossa forced Sasuke's hand shut and then forced Sasuke to drop the medallion. The now stained black medallion fell into the stone chest and Barbossa then walked over to Will. Yami looked down at Sasuke's hand, which was bleeding freely, and asked "Are you alright Sasuke?" Sasuke looked up at her and said "I'm fine, it's only a cut." He noticed Yami was crying, but they weren't tears of sadness like he thought they would be, but they were tears of relief.
Sasuke, acting quickly, tore off a piece of clothing and wrapped it the best he could around his hand and applied as much pressure as he could to try and stop the bleeding. "There, that'll do it for now." He said. The two looked over as they watched Barbossa force Will to bend forward. Barbossa had placed the knife against Will's neck and was about to end it, when someone said "You don't want to be doing that mate." Everyone looked to see Jack standing there with a smirk on his face. "Hello mate, miss me?" Barbossa looked annoyed at being interrupted once again and said "No, not really."
Meanwhile, just outside the cave and tunnel, Norrington and his British Royal Navy fleet were waiting for Jack to bring out the pirates so that they could take them all out and save Will. Elizabeth, who had gotten into a new set of clothing, a pair of cream colored British Royal Navy pants with a red British Royal Navy shirt, was being locked in the Commodore's office. Sakura, who had joined her to keep her company, was wearing something similar, only her shirt was royal blue instead of red. Elizabeth wanted to help, but apparently Jack made that impossible. When Elizabeth had began to make a ring of rope out of sheets, Sakura asked "Elizabeth what are you doing?" She looked at her and said "I'm going to help Will."
Yami was so wrapped up in seeing Jack that she didn't notice Sasuke taking out one of his kuni knifes and loosening her binds. "Don't take the binds off completely, just enough so that when the time comes, you can escape." He whispered. She was taken out of her shock and nodded. "What ye be talkin' about Jack?" Barbossa asked annoyed at being interrupted once again. Jack walked up to Barbossa and Will and moved Barbossa's hand away from Will's neck so that Will could stand up straight. "You don't want to be doin' that, because if you do." He paused. "You and your crew will get wiped out by Commodore and his fleet of Royal whatever their called."
Barbossa didn't look convinced that Jack was telling the truth. "And how do ye know such a thing Jack?" Jack replied "Because I followed them here of course." He then continued "Now don't you think it would be better to wait and lift the curse after you kill off Norrington's men rather than lift the curse and get blow to bits?" Jack then moved his hand down the row of gold medallions and picked up four of them. "Wouldn't it be easier that way to take out every-" he dropped a coin, "last-" another coin, "one." and the third coin fell, but Jack quickly hid the fourth medallion. Will noticed this and played along "You've been planning this all along, ever since you learned my name?!" Jack looked over at Will and said "Yep."
Sasuke and Yami both saw the game that Jack was trying to play and when he was sure no one was looking, Sasuke picked up two medallions. One of them he put in his pocket and the other he gave to Yami. Yami took the medallion, but looked at Sasuke in confusion. "Just incase the worst happens, at least you can't die. And we will return them when Will returns his." Yami, finally understanding his plan, nodded and looked back over at Jack. Jack smiled at Barbossa and said "What do ya say mate?" Barbossa looked from Jack, to his crew and said "Boys...take a walk." With that the undead crew left to go take out Norrington and his fleet.
Norrington and some of his men were outside the tunnel in many row boats, waiting for Barbossa's men to come out. While the ships stayed back and was prepared to send back up if needed. Instead of going after Norrington and his men, the undead pirates when straight for the ships. The pirates hid from Norrington by walking under water and under their boats. As the pirates made their way up the boat, they all started crawling around and killing the navy men silently and deadly. Norrington looked back at his ship as he heard the alarm bell ringing. "Return back to the ship now!"
Meanwhile back on the Dauntless in the brig, Gibbs and the rest of Jack's crew were bored out of their mind. When they heard footsteps, they were tense, thinking that it was one of Barbossa's men. They were surprised and relieved, however, when they saw that it was Elizabeth. "It's Elizabeth!" Gibbs said in a hushed voice. Once Elizabeth got the crew out, they took out a few pirates that had been watching guard and Elizabeth headed for a row boat. When no one came to help her push it out into the water, she turned around. "You're not coming to save Jack?" Gibbs looked around and said "We're going for the Pearl now, and there's the code to consider."
Elizabeth laughed lightly and said "The code. Your pirates for goodness sake, hang the code and hang the rules. Their more like guidelines anyway!" When the pirates didn't move Elizabeth huffed and said "Fine." She finally pushed the boat into the water and got on. As she rowed her way to the cave she grumbled "Bloody pirates." On the Dauntless Pintel and Ragetti were taking out the navy men quickly. But they stopped as they looked to see the Black Pearl getting farther and farther from their sight. "Their stealin' our ship." The two looked at each other and Ragetti yelled "Bloody pirates!"
Back with Jack and Barbossa, Jack was talking to Barbossa. "I must admit Jack, I thought I had ya figured, but it turns out your a hard man to predict." Jack, who tossed a gold item back in one of the many piles, and said "Me I'm dishonest, and you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest." He walked up behind one of Barbossa's men that had stayed behind and said "Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for. Because you never know when the might try and do something incredibly...stupid." Jack then took a sword from the pirate and threw it over to Will, who caught it with ease.
It was then that Sasuke and Yami sprung into action themselves. Sasuke took out his own sword and started fighting with the pirate that had been standing behind him. Yami fully untied herself and took out her kuni knife and begun fighting the pirate that had been standing watch over her. Barbossa took out his own sword and began fighting against Jack. Will, meanwhile was fighting two pirates at the same time. The four of them; Jack, Will, Sasuke, and Yami; continued to fight off Barbossa and his men. Yami's kuni knife just wasn't cutting it. She had to find a better weapon. She threw the knife at the pirate only for it to go through his now clearly visible ribcage.
Sasuke and his pirate were meeting Will and his pirates. "Switch!" Will shouted. That they did, now Sasuke was fighting two pirates and Will was fighting one. Jack continued to fight off Barbossa. Jack swung at Barbossa, which caused the captain to fall to the ground. Jack smiled triumphantly, but wasn't prepared for what Barbossa did next. Sasuke, Yami and Will all stopped their fighting to see Barbossa's sword going straight through Jack. Yami screamed in fear as Jack slowly backed into the moonlight and became just as skeletony as Barbossa and his crew. Jack looked down at himself, then at Barbossa and said "Well that's interesting."
Kakashi was doing very well of not getting hit or killed by Barbossa's men. His Sharingan helped a lot in dodging the many hits he was having thrown at him. 'The only bad thing about this is, is that I don't get to read.' He thought, as he took out yet another pirate. Naruto was doing just as good for his current skill level. Back in the cabin, Sakura was helping by guarding the Governor. "It's alright Governor, I'll protect you." She said confidently. "Yes please do dear." The Governor said nervously. He was worried that Elizabeth was nowhere to be found. 'I hope she isn't hurt or worse.' He thought.
Jack swung his sword yet again at Barbossa and he knocked the pirate against one of the many piles of gold. Barbossa relaxed slightly and said "So what now, Jack Sparrow? We continue fighting like this forever?" Jack said "Or you could surrender." Barbossa frowned and the two were at it again. Yami was having rather huge difficulties, what with not have a weapon and all. "What are ya gonna do now girl?" The pirate asked. Yami backed up as the pirate slowly made his way toward her. Sasuke saw this. "Yami!" He shouted as he threw his sword to her. She caught it and began fighting once more.
Sasuke then looked at the two pirates "Smart move kid, now you have no weapon." One of the pirates said. Sasuke smirked and started making hand signs. The pirates, confused, were not prepared for what happened next. Sasuke finished his hand signs and shouted "Fire style: Fire Ball Jutsu!" He took a deep breath and fire erupted from his mouth. The pirates screamed in pain as they fell into the water. Will was still fighting a pirate when the pirate shouted, "I'm going to show you the meaning of pain!" "You like pain-" Elizabeth came around the corner and swung a metal pole at the pirate that sent him flying. "Try wearing a corset."
Will was shocked to see Elizabeth. She ran over to him and noticed Jack fighting Barbossa. When she saw Jack back into the moonlight her eyes got wide and she asked "Whose side is Jack on?" Will smiled faintly and said "At the moment?" Suddenly the pirates got back up and Will and Elizabeth continued fighting. Elizabeth and Will worked together, and rammed the pole through the pirates and Will stuck a bomb in one of them pirate's ribcage. They then rammed them out of the moonlight and the pirates were blown to bits.
Jack and Barbossa were fighting more vigorously now than ever. Jack saw Will running for the stone chest. Working quickly, Jack took the medallion in his hand that he had kept from before, sliced that same hand and tossed the stained medallion to Will. Sasuke did the same with his medallion, as did Yami. She shouted "Sasuke!" Sasuke grabbed her medallion and tossed the two into the chest. At that moment, Yami's opponent threw her own kuni knife at her and it lodged deeply in her arm. She screamed as she fell to the ground on her knees. She took out the kuni knife and threw it at the pirate, hitting him square in the heart. The pirate fell to the ground in a heap.
Barbossa saw Will at the chest and pointed his gun. Everyone was silent as a gunshot could be heard. Barbossa was still for a second, then turned to Jack. Jack had his pistol pointed at Barbossa and the gun was smoking. Barbossa grinned and said "Ten years you carried that pistol, and now you waste your shot." "He didn't waste it." Barbossa looked over to see Will standing over the stone chest with his hand over the gold. Will loosened his hand and let the last medallion fall into the stone chest. Barbossa looked from Will and the stone chest, and opened up his shirt. He watched as the red substance leaked out of him. He looked up and said faintly "I feel...cold." He then fell lifelessly on the ground.
Back on the Dauntless, Norrington and his men were losing the battle. He and his men were slowly being backed into a corner when suddenly, the undead pirates became no longer undead. You could see their flesh in the moonlight. Norrington and his men raised their swords and the pirates dropped theirs. The navy soldiers began to cheer as they had won the battle. Norrington smiled as his men celebrated. "Fetch some irons, we're going to need a lot of them." He said.
Back in the cave, Jack was picking out his favorite golden items from each of the many piles. Every once in a while he would pick something up and immediately toss it. Sasuke quickly ran over to Yami and bent down beside her. "Yami are you alright?" He asked, worriedly. Yami looked at him and panted "Yeah...I'm fine." Sasuke, of course didn't believe her and said "Here let me." Yami let go of her arm and let Sasuke wrap the puncture with another torn piece of clothing. "There, that's the best we can do for now." Yami looked up at Sasuke. Everything looked blurry. "Sasuke." She panted as she started to feel lightheaded. Sasuke was holding her up as she started to slouch. "Yami?" He asked, worried. She looked up at his fuzzy outline and said "I...I love you." Her world then went black.
Sasuke held Yami in his arms and said "I...I love you too...Yami." "Well it's about bloody time." Sasuke looked up to see Jack standing over them, smiling from ear to ear. "Took you two long enough don't you think?" Sasuke glared and sweatdroped as he stared at Jack. Jack looked from Sasuke and Yami, over to Will and Elizabeth. "Now if only dear William could have the same kind of luck." Will and Elizabeth stared at each other for a few moments before Elizabeth said "I better get going." Will looked at her and said "Your finance will be wanting to know your safe." Elizabeth looked like she didn't want to leave, but left anyway. Jack walked up beside Will and said "If you were waiting for the opportune moment, that was it."
