Sing something new

"Will, what have you done?" Elizabeth questioned angrily.

He glowered at her. "I'm doing what I need to."

"Barbossa never doomed us! You have!"

He ignored her and approached Captain Sao Feng who was speaking with Mercer. "You agreed, the Black Pearl was to be mine."

"And so it was." Sao Feng replied with a nod. "Now it is no longer."

A sailor appeared between them and punched Will in the gut, effectively knocking the wind out of him. Elizabeth didn't move to help him as he was hauled backwards towards the rest of the Pearl's crew. She hoped Jack had a plan. Will obviously did not.

A voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "…the Black Pearl was to be mine."

"Lord Beckett's not going to give up the only ship that can outrun the Dutchman, now is he?"

Barbossa stepped forward as Mercer walked away. "It's a shame they're not bound to honor the Code of the Brethren, ain't it? Because honor is a hard thing to come by nowadays."

"There is no honor in remaining with the losing side. Leaving it for the winning side, that's just good business."

"Losing side, you say?"

"They have the Dutchman. Now the Pearl. And what do the Brethren have?"

"We have Calypso." Elizabeth's eyes widened. What does he mean? Calypso? Tia Dalma is the only other woman on board…does that mean SHE is Calypso? Sao Feng turned and looked at her with a frown. What is he looking at? Barbossa turned and looked at Elizabeth, confused.

He chuckled. "Calypso. An old legend."

"No, Imagine, all the power of the sea bound in human form… I intend to release her, but for that I need the Court, all the Court." He picked up Sao Feng's necklace.

"What are you proposing, Captain?"

"What will you be accepting, Captain?"

"The girl." He looked right at Elizabeth.

What? "What?"

"Elizabeth is not part of any bargain!" Will exclaimed.

"Out of the question." Barbossa agreed, waving his hand in dismissal.

"It was not a question." Sao Feng bit off staring her down.

Will is not my master and besides this could work to our advantage. "Done." She met Barbossa's gaze for an instant and she saw understanding.

"What?" Will asked and then turned to Sao Feng. "Not done."

"You got us into this mess, if this is what frees us then done."

Will stepped in front of her. "Elizabeth, they're pirates."

"I have had more than enough experience dealing with pirates." She spat, pushing him aside. "After all, I am one."

Will's jaw tightened. "I can't allow you to do that."

"You have no say." Elizabeth bit back.

"Then we have an accord?" Barbossa interjected glancing uneasily between the two. He needed them separated if he was to act out his own plans.

"We have an accord." Sao Feng smirked and began shouting orders in his native language. The Pearl would be able to outrun the British ship and Sao Feng had the ultimate weapon…or so he thought.

JEJEJEJEJEJE

Elizabeth heard someone singing the song of the code in the dimly lit cabin and became exasperated. "That song is overused."

A laugh erupted from the woman in the corner. "So we meet again, Elizabeth."

Elizabeth met the eyes of the concubine she had met in Singapore. "Jasmine."

"How did you know my name?"

"I overheard it when we were leaving the bathhouse." Elizabeth glanced around. "Do I finally get to meet your sister?"

Jasmine's face darkened. "That white man killed her."

"Beckett?"

"His henchman."

Elizabeth grimaced. "He killed my father."

Jasmine met her gaze. "Then we both have our reasons to rid the world of the wretch."

She nodded.

The oriental woman sighed and changed the subject. "I've heard your beloved is back among the living. Is it true?"

"It's true." She agreed solemnly.

"Funny…I always thought Calypso was supposed to love Davy Jones, not…Captain Jack Sparrow…"

"A woman can love more than one man."

"But only one with her whole heart." The other woman replied with a chuckle. "Some men can be so…how you say…gullible…I know who you are, and you're no sea goddess. Although…Captain Sparrow may beg to differ if he were to see you dressed as one…"

Elizabeth looked down. "I'm not so certain."

"Wait and see. Wait and see." She replied. "It's not over yet…circumstances will work themselves out, but now you must pretend to be something you're not to save something you are."

"How can I?"

"Certainly a governor's daughter knows how to act on decorum. I know you'll think of something."

Elizabeth smiled sadly at the other woman. "If only I can remember how. It's been so long."

Jasmine looked her directly in the eyes. "If nothing else, then do it for love."

JEJEJEJEJEJE

Jack waltzed up to Will. "Send this pestilent traitorous cowhearted yeasty codpiece to the brig." He turned to Barbossa as the crew members dragged him away. "Where's Miss Swann?"

"Aboard Sao Feng's fine vessel."

Jack frowned. "Why?"

"We've convinced him she's Calypso."

His eyebrows shot up into his scarf. Well at least she's safe…for now. "That's interesting."

Barbossa let out a hearty laugh. "Aye. I'm certain she can hold her own even as a pretend goddess."

"Oh I have no doubts about that." Jack agreed.

"I half expected you to send us after him."

"I'm not Will Turner, Hector. Nor am I new to romance, and this is no opportune moment for rash acts. We have places to be…whether I want to be there or not. Besides, Sao Feng is one of the pirate lords. He'll be along."

"Even whilst he's Beckett's puppet?"

"Beckett isn't going anywhere. I've disabled the rudder chain and destroyed the mainmast of his fine vessel. It should be collapsing any moment now."

A hearty laugh erupted from Barbossa as he followed the younger captain to the helm.

"Say…how did Miss Swann manage to keep you on the Pearl anyway? It musta been something bad if ye won't go after the woman ye love."

Jack's hand went to the pocket that contained his compass he had pocketed when Beckett was unconscious. It points to the thing you want most in this world… "I do NOT love her."

Barbossa stared at him with a raised eyebrow.

"She kissed me, all right? She distracted me and chained me to that very mast."

Barbossa looked between him and the mast for some time. "She must be a helluva kisser."

"Practically devoured his mouth." Gibbs cut in as he joined them.

Barbossa chuckled a bit.

Jack frowned. "You saw that?"

"Well I wonder what Cook is fixing." He mumbled and hurried away.

Jack shook his head. "Bloody useless."

Barbossa smirked at him. "Devoured yer mouth?"

"Oh shut it."

JEJEJEJEJEJEJEJE

Beckett stumbled onto the deck and looked into the distance watching the Pearl sail into the distance.

"Orders sir?"

"Follow the Pearl."

A loud CRAAAAAAACK! Resounded across the deck and then a crash. Beckett shut his eyes.

"The mainmast is down. Do you think he plans it or comes up with it as he goes along?"

He ignored the comment. "Head for the nearest port. We need repairs. As for Jones, send him after Feng."
