Chapter six: to the cave, then to ship to ship
They were slowly making their way to the cave.
"What Code is Gibbs to keep to if the worst should happen," Will asked.
"Pirates Code. Any man that falls behind is left behind."
"No heroes amongst these eh?"
You know, for having such a bleak outlook on pirates you're well on your way to becoming one. Sprung a man from jail, commandeered a ship of the Fleet, sailed with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga." Will locked at a pile of gold in the water. "and you're completely obsessed with treasure."
"That's not true!" "I am not obsessed with treasure!"
"Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate," jack said while looking at Destiny, who paid no attention to them.
"Gentlemen, the time has come! Our salvation is nigh! Our torment is near at end," Barbossa started.
"Elizabeth," whispered Will.
"For ten years we've been tested and tried, and each man jack of you here has proved his mettle a hundred times over and a hundred times again," said Barbossa.
"Suffered, I have."
"Punished, we were. The lot of us - disproportionate to our crimes! Here it is throws off the chests lid the cursed treasure of Cort's himself. Every last piece that went astray, we have returned save for this." He pointed to the medallion on Elizabeth's neck.
"Jack," will said climbing up.
"Not yet. We wait for the opportune moment," Jack said pulling him down.
"When's that?" "When its of greatest profit to you?"
"May I ask you something?" "Have I ever given you reason not to trust me?" "Do us a favor, I know its difficult for you, but please stay here and try not to do anything stupid."
Will grabbed an ore, and went Jack's way.
"Will what are you doing?"
"Destiny, it's something that needs to be done."
"Who do you think you are."
"I'm sorry destiny." then he hit her in the head with the ore.
Then he went to Jack and hit him over the head.
"Sorry, Jack . I'm not going to be your leverage."
"That's it," Elizabeth said.
"Waste not." Barbossa dropped the medallion.
"Did it work?"
"I don't feel no different."
"How do we tell?" Barbossa shoot him.
"You' re not dead."
"No. He shot me!"
"It didn't work."
"The curse it still upon us!"
"You, maid! Your father, what was his name?"" Was your father William Turner ?"
"No."
"Where's his child? The child that sailed from England eight years ago, the child in whose veins flows the blood of William Turner . Where?" Then he backed handed her, and she fell to the bottom.
Will grabbed Elizabeth and told her to get all the ores, and he got Destiny into the boat.
Elizabeth was first on ship. "Not more pirates."
"Welcome aboard, Miss Elizabeth."
"Mr. Gibbs?" Will climbed aboard with Destiny on his shoulder.
"Hey, boy, where be Jack?"
"Jack ? Jack Sparrow," Elizabeth asked.
"He fell behind," he said as he put Destiny on the ground, and led Elizabeth away."
"Keep to the code."
"Weigh anchor! Hoist the sails! Make quickly, divvies," Anamarie shouted, and when she was done Destiny woke up.
"Ow, my head." "What happened." then she remembered. "Wiiiiiill!!!!!!!"
Will had just came up from his talk with Elizabeth.
"You." Destiny pointed at will. "You littleā¦" she said every profanity you could think of in every sentence she said.
"Hands aloft to loose t'gallants! With this wind at her stern, she'll carry every sail we've got," shouted Gibbs. The crew started to run around.
"I'll deal with you later," Destiny said.
"What's happening," Elizabeth said.
"The Black Pearl, she's gaining on us," shouted Annemarie.
"This is the fastest ship in the Caribbean!"
"You can tell them that after they've caught us."
"Were shallow on the draft, right?"
"Aye."
"Well, then can't we lose them amongst those shoals?"
"We don't have to outrun them long, just long enough."
"Lighten the ship, stem to stern!"
"Anything that we can afford to lose see that it's lost," said Gibbs.
On the pearl
"Haul on the main brace! Make ready the guns! And run out the sweeps," Barbossa called out.
On the Inerce.
"It was a good plan up till now," shouted Destiny.
"Gibbs ! We have to make a stand. We must fight! Load the guns!"
"With what," asked Ana.
"Anything." "Everything!" "Anything we have left."
"Will's right," Destiny said.
"Load the guns! Take shot and langrage. Nails and crushed glass! With a will!" "The Pearl is going to luff up on our port quarter. She'll rake us without ever presenting a target," Gibbs yelled.
"Lower the anchor on the right side," Elizabeth said. "On the starboard side," Destiny yelled.
"It certainly has the element of surprise," Will said.
"You're daft, Destiny!" "You both are."
"What do you expect, she's a Sparrow," Gibbs said.
"Lower the starboard anchor! Do it, ye dogs, or it's you we'll load into the cannons!"
"Let go," Destiny said to Ana. She let go of the wheel.
"Keep us steady now. Now!"
"Fire all," shouted Elizabeth.
"We could use a few more ideas, lass"
"Your turn"
"We need us a devil's dowry"
"We'll give them her." Ana cocked her pistol.
"She's not what they're after," Will said.
"The medallion." Will went below to search for it.
All of the pirates started to climb aboard.
Destiny stood there not knowing what to do. "what to do. What to do. What to do. What to do. What to do. Oh what to do." "Well duh."
She grabbed a sword and started to fight a skinny pirate that came in fount of her.
Left step. Right step. Jump and swipe. She finely knocked the pirate in the water, but some body grabbed her. The person turned her around.
"Daddy." "I thought you were dead or something!"
"You forgot one thing luv." "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow!"
"Oh good lord," Destiny said with a sigh.
"Jack," yelled Gibbs.
"Wretch!" Elizabeth went to slap him, but he grabbed her hand.
"Ahh. Where's dear William?"
"I know she wasn't bout to slap my daddy"
Just then a pirate grabbed her from behind.
"Let me go you ugly pig-headed pirate!"
"If I were you I'd watch your mouth wench."
"Hold up!" "Who do you think you are?"
"A pirate."
"Well that explains a lot."
The whole crew was captured and tied to the mast. "If any of you as much as thinks the word parley, I'll have your guts for garters," Pintel said to the crew.
Just then the Interceptor blew up. "Will, Elizabeth whispered.
"You've got to stop it! Stop it!"
"Welcome back, Miss. You took advantage of our hospitality last time. It holds fair now that you return the favor." Then Barbossa pushed her in his crew.
"Barbossa!" Will now stood on deck.
"She goes free." he pointed the pistol at him.
"What's in your head, boy?"
"She goes free!"
"Hey!"
"And Destiny goes free too"
Barossa looked at Jack, then to Destiny.
"Well, well, well." "Look mates." "It's little Destiny Sparrow." "I thought you'd be dead by now like your mother Victoria." Destiny looked at Jack, and he had on an angry face.
" Anyway, you've only got one shot, and we can't die."
"Don't do anything stupid," said Jack.
"You can't. I can," and he pointed the pistol at himself.
"Who are you," asked Barbossa.
"No one. He's no one. A distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice, though ,eunuch, Jack said to Barbossa.
"My name is Will Turner . My father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins."
"He's the spitting image of ol' Bootstrap Bill come back to haunt us."
"On my word do as I say, or I'll pull this trigger and be lost to Davy Jones Locker."
"Name your terms, Mr. Turner."
"Elizabeth and Destiny goes free!"
"Yes, we know that one, anything else"
Will looked at jack who was pointing at himself.
"And the crew." "The crew are not to be harmed."
"Agreed," Barbossa said smiling to himself.
"Go on, Poppet, go! Walk the plank!"
"Barbossa, you lying bastard! You swore she'd go free!"
"Don't dare impugn me honor, boy. I agreed she'd go free, but it was you who failed to specify when or where." "Though it does seem a shame to lose something so fine, don't it lads?"
"Aye."
"So I'll be having that dress back before you go"
"I always liked you," Jack said to a pirate that he was by.
"It goes with your black heart." She threw him the dress.
Barbossa pressed it to his face. "Ooh, it's still warm."
"Too long!" Bosun stepped on the plank and Elizabeth fell off.
"Your turn miss Sparrow." "You know if you older, you would be fun to play with." He pushed her forward. Jack growled at Barossa.
"there goes the 2nd thing so fine we have to lose."
"Well it does seem a shame to get away from something so ugly." She rolled her eyes, and then jumped into the ocean.
well there you have it the 6th chapter. well please R&R. thank you!
