Chapter 6
Port Royal
We arrive and already I could feel that this world was very different to the worlds we have previously traveled. the walls and ground were made of large stones. we all walk to a nearby ledge to see a town next to the ocean.
"This place is..." Sora couldn't think of how to finish his thought.
"Kind of different," Goofy responded, we walk away from the ledge, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, just like in Disney Castle, but this time the pain lasted a little longer.
"Sara?" Sora said as I look over at him to see all three of them staring at me,
"are you ok?" Goofy asked
"y... yeah, I'm fine, just tired from all the fighting we did in Disney Castle," I said trying not to worry them, all that fighting really did ware me out.
"Ok... take it easy from now on," Sora said as we all hear a scream echo around us, we quickly run over to the ledge facing the town to see everything go to chaos.
"Oh my gosh," I said shocked at the amount of carnage in front of us, "Who could of done something like this?"
"Organization XIII?" Goofy suggested,
"Or the heartless," Donald disagreed,
"Only one way to find out," Sora said as we all run down the stairs next to that lead to the docs. when we get there we see a group that look like... Pirates? and they were talking to Pete. we all run over to them knowing that Pete is up to no good.
"Hey!" Sora yelled as all of them turn to face us.
"See there? I knew it!" Pete said, I guess they were talking about us, "Those are the punks I was telling ya about," he chuckles.
"Who you calling punks? Sora yelled, "It's Sora, Sara, Donald and Goofy to you!"
"And don't you forget it!" I yelled completing Sora's thought, I guess being twins we have that skill to complete each other's sentences.
"That we won't. And we'll engrave it on your tombstone, to be sure." The man wearing a funny pirate hat with two long black feathers hanging out the backside.
"Whoa! I like your style." Pete said to him, I'm guessing they joined forces
"Men - half of you stay here and indulge these cullies. The rest - bring me that medallion!" He demanded as he leaves with half of his men into the city and the other half of them turn towards us and take out their weapons, with Pete watching from the sidelines.
"Aw, we only get to stomp on a few of you?" Sora remarked, I laugh at his remark as I take out my Keyblade and get ready to fight. The pirates lunge at us as we block and fight back. something was off, we were hitting them with all we have but it didn't even leave a scratch. We got to the point where it looked like we were going to have to run away.
"It's no use!" Sora said, "we can't beat them!"
"Aye, what did you expect?" one of the pirates said. the moon comes out from behind the clouds and all the pirates turn into... undead pirates? I look over at Sora, Donald and Goofy and they were just as confuse as I was, "You best be saying your prayers." the pirate said confidently.
"hey watch out they can see ya, stay away from their magic!" Pete yelled at them.
"what for?" the pirate said
"weren't you listening to me before?" he said.
"hey Pete, thanks for the tip!" Sora said as we attack, this time every his caused damage to the point where they all became dust.
"Looks like Pete got away!" I said looking around.
"Never mind that we got to stop those pirates from destroying the rest of the town." Sora said as we cross over a stone bridge and head into the town ahead. there were pirates and heartless everywhere. I wonder why they were going through all this trouble just to find a medallion.
"Elizabeth!" A man yells as we run over to a man surrounded by heartless, "what are they?"
"It's the heartless! watch out!" Donald yells as we get in between him and the heartless.
"We'll deal with them!" Sora said as we attack the heartless killing one after another. I get this feeling that we will be doing this a lot, I guess that this is one of the tasks of a Keyblade wielder.
"Go! Take cover!" I yelled at the man as he runs behind some boxes. after a while we defeat all the heartless.
"thank you," The man said as he walks back out of his hiding place to join us. "I'm Will Turner, I'd like to ask you a favor, could you help me get to the docs?" he asked, we had no problem helping him out.
"Sure, no problem." I said as we all run over to the docs, occasionally taking out heartless on the way. we could see a black ship sailing away from Port Royal.
"were too late!" He said.
"Huh?" Sora looked over at Will.
"those pirates took Miss Swann and took her to their ship. Now they've sailed, and I'll never be able to find her." Will lowers his head, it was easy to tell that he has feelings for this Elizabeth.
"Then she's long gone. The black pearl is nigh uncatchable." a voice says behind us, we turn around to see an oddly dressed man climb aboard a ship. "Best find yourself another girl, mate" he said.
"you... what are you doing aboard the interceptor?" Will asked the man as we all walk towards the boat. "she's off limits to civilians,"
"ah, fortunate that I'm going to commandeer her, then. she'll make a fine pirate ship." Sora and I stop and both look at each other.
"A pirate!" we say to each other and run to the front of the ramp in front of the Interceptor.
"Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please," He said as Sora's and my face light up, we always fought over who would be captain when we played pirates with Riku.
"Take me with you, help me hunt down the Black Pearl and save Miss Swann. I got you out of that jail cell sparrow. Do this and your debt's repaid." Will proclaimed.
"you'll have to win fair lady's heart alone, mate, I see no profit in it for me." Jack said in response.
"C'mon Captain!" Sora yelled, I could see how eager he was to go pirate hunting.
"Are you sure you can sail her, all on her own?" Will said as a comeback. Jack ponders for a sec then jumps onto the ramp.
"You've a point there." Jack says as we all head up the ramp.
"Thanks, Sparrow," Will said getting on the ship.
"Captain Sparrow!" Jack corrected him,
"I'm Sora, this is Sara, Donald and Goofy."
"It's bad luck to bring a woman on board," Jack said looking at me.
"It's even worse luck to try to separate me from my friends." I quickly said as Jack backed off while I climbed into the boat.
"I'm Will Turner," Will said to Jack.
"That would be short for William, I imagine. No doubt named for your father, eh?" Jack said, wonder why that is important.
"Yes," Will said just as confused as I was by Jacks remark.
"well then, Mr. Turner. You get us ready to make way. I've some effects to liberate." Jack said. as he walks away from the boat.
"Sora..." Donald got our attention.
"You really want to be a pirate?" Goofy asked.
"Of course not!" Sora said walking ahead of us. Donald and Goofy turn around to look at me for an answer. I nodded yes and all three of us laugh. Jack quickly comes back and walks up to Sora.
"What do you make of this Will?" Jack asked
"I don't know, we just met him." Sora innocently explained.
"hmm... I think my luck's about to change." Jack said as we head out on the Interceptor.
"This is so cool!" Sora said running around the ship, "I can't believe were actually on a pirate ship looking for pirates." I could see the sparkles in his eyes.
"if you don't work hard Sora, You'll walk the plank." I yelled
"Ay-ye!" Sora yelled as I laughed looking over at Jack at the wheel holding into a strange compass.
"is there anything you want me to help with?" I asked Jack, he gave everyone a job but left me to stand here.
"um... I think you keeping Sora in line is a job enough," Jack said with a smile,
"true," I said with a laugh.
"there it is..." jack said turning the chip to line up with a cliff that lead to a cave, "Alright, you four watch the ship while Will and I go Rescue fair maiden." Jack explained and we all nodded in agreement. Both Will and Jack run into the cave and leave is here to watch the ship.
"what's taking them so long?" Donald said pacing back and forth. it had only been an hour, but it felt like longer.
"maybe we should go after them?" Sora suggested and all of us agree. we run towards the entrance of the cave. we get there to see Will and a woman, I'm guessing Elizabeth, run out of the cave right at us.
"quick, there after us!" Will said as Sora and I get ready to fight, a group of Pirates and heartless head straight for us.
"we'll hold them off! give us a sign when the ships ready to sail!" Sora said
"right! we'll light a signal fire" Will said as he and Elizabeth run towards the ship while we hold back the pirates and heartless. Luckily the moon was out so it didn't take us long to defeat the pirates, but there were more pirates to take their place, I look over at the Interceptor to see smoke.
"The signal!" Sora yells,
"Let's get out of here!" I said and we all run for the Interceptor and escape from the island.
"where's Jack?" I asked
"He fell behind." Will said explaining how he knew Jack was just using him to get back the Black Pearl.
"We took the medallion with us." Elizabeth showed me the medallion in her hand but her hand was bleeding.
"your bleeding!" I said as I grab her wrist. "Sora you take the wheel. Will, help Elizabeth with her wound." I said as Will and Elizabeth go below deck. Sora heads up to the wheel.
"Sara!" You better come have a look at this!" Sora said as I run up and see the Black Pearl gaining on us. Will and Elizabeth run up to us, something had changed with them.
"what now?" Donald asked
"I wonder what Jack would do?" Sora asked, Sora still felt bad about leaving Jack behind, honestly I agreed with him.
"I'm not sure," Will replied, "I'd suppose... he'd run for it." he said.
"Sounds good to me." I said as the boat begins to shake. All of us loose our footing and fall to the floor. I hear Will yell as Elizabeth and I see him fall out of sight. We heard cannon fire in the distance.
"Everyone hit the deck!" Goofy yelled still lying on the ground covering his head with his shield. Sora ran over to me but the Cannon hits the ship and we both fall back to the ground.
"You ok?" Sora yelled as I nodded as we both slowly stand back up, I notice the medallion on the ground and pick it up. "were just going to have to fight!" Sora said as I hand him the medallion. I run over to the wheel and turn the ship around to face the Black Pearl.
"No matter what happens, they can't get the medallion," I said as Sora and I summon our Keyblade's. Many pirates come aboard but Sora and I already created a system to toss the medallion back and forth eventually they stopped attacking.
"We did it!" Donald cheered
"We beat the pirates!" Sora said proudly still holding the medallion.
"Well did you now, laddie?" Barbossa spoke from behind us, Jack explained earlier that he was his first mate before the mutiny. we turn around to see Jack and Elizabeth captured, at least now we know Jack is still alive.
"Jack!" Sora yells glad to see him, but I don't think these are the circumstances we all wanted to meet with. We look around us and somehow were completely surrounded by pirates, I'm seeing a pattern.
"Now then, I'll be having back that medallion," Barbossa demanded, we all get ready to fight, "Unless it's more important than their lives?" Barbossa had a point, we were in no position to be fighting.
"Barbossa!" We turn around to see Will pointing a gun at Barbossa, "She goes free!" he demanded.
"Go ahead boy - shoot! we can't die." Barbossa laughs.
"You can't, but I can..." He points the gun at his own head, I think he drank too much sea water. "My name is Will Turner! my father was Bootstrap Bill Turner! his blood runs in my veins!" He explained, I guess now we can negotiate... Barbossa was shocked by this outcome. "On my word do as I say, or I'll pull this trigger and be lost to Davy Jones locker." there some things I'm not even going to ask about...
"Name your terms... Mr. Turner." Barbossa said listening to reason... kinda...
"Release Elizabeth, and Sora, Sara, Donald, and Goofy too!" Will demanded,
"Anything else?" he asked
"Leave now!" Will continued.
"Agreed. leave we shall..." Barbossa bows as an honor to the agreement. "But the heartless stay!" He lifts his head as we hear Pete laugh behind us, we turn around to see Will out cold at Pete's feet. Countless heartless appear as Pete grabs Will and runs back to the Black Pearl.
"No fair!" Sora yelled, we still couldn't do anything with Elizabeth and Jack held hostage. The rest of us are tied up like jack and Elizabeth and placed below deck with everyone's back facing each other in the form of a circle.
"Good work Barbossa," Pete cheered at the top of the stairs, "Who knew it'd be this easy?"
"Barbossa you coward!" Elizabeth yelled, I try to break free from the ropes that were tying my wrists together, but they were too tight.
"That's the last time I trust a pirate." Sora said.
"I second that!" I agreed
"The powder kegs are ready, captain!" A pirate yells from above, powder keg?
"Then I bid ye, farewell." Barbossa said to us, wait, is he going to blow up the ship? Barbossa and Pete leave the ship.
"What are we going to do?" Donald asked turning his head to Sora.
"We'll be blown to smithereens!" Goofy added, that remark didn't make any of us feel better.
"Why struggle, mate?" Jack said, "A pirate knows when to surrender."
"Are you serious jack?" Sora asked
"Surrendering and dying are two completely different things." I said
"Your average pirate, anyway" Jack said as the rope fall off him and he stands up. "First, we got to see to that gunpowder. I'm not about to lose this ship."
"Yeah, but could you untie us first?" I ask with a smile. as Jack unties all of us
"I'm still not going to trust pirates." Sora said
"Wise policy, lad." Jack said as we all run back up to the deck and quickly throw all the barrels full of gunpowder off the ship.
"All clear!" Sora yells as Jack takes the wheel, Jack seemed very angry.
"That' the second time I've had to watch that man sail away with my ship." He said, "But I'll be having her back soon enough." We finally make to the island and head into the cave to confront Barbossa and Pete.
"Now let's be trying this again! the last of the Aztec treasure has been returned. And now the blood will be repaid to free us from this curse forever!" We could hear Barbossa's voice through the cave. I just pray were not too late, then we can give our introduction that Sora planned. "This time for sure!"
"Ahoy! Treasure mateys!" Sora yells as we entered the room. everyone stops ant turns to us. I could see the sparkle in Sora's eyes.
"Not possible!" Barbossa said in denial,
"Not probable! We're alive and were pirates!" Donald said, now is where were all supposed to introduce ourselves like Sora planed.
"Captain Jack Sparrow,"
"Sora,"
"Sara,"
"Donald Duck"
"Goofy too!" We all said with weapons in hand
"So you want to play pirate? best save the playacting for the nursery, After them!" Barbossa yells as all the pirates attack. the moon was out again so we quickly defeated them, Sora takes out the last pirate with just Barbossa remaining and starts to smile
"No more playacting now!" Sora said as a comeback.
"Thank you, Sora" Will said as he came up to Sora with be right behind,
"Um, we helped too!" I said as both me and Donald cross our arms.
"yes, thank you, all of you." Will said
"Uh, where's Jack?" Goofy asked, we all turn to see Jack fighting Barbossa.
"Jack! Get him!" Sora cheered, Jack looks over.
"Huh?" As Barbossa stabs him in the chest.
"Jack!" Sora yells as the rest of us freeze from shock
"You're a fool Jack Sparrow!" Barbossa said. Jack slowly backs up, but when his body is touched by moonlight he turns into an undead Pirate. Jack holds up a piece of Aztec gold for everyone to see.
"Good one Jack!" I yelled, they continue to fight as I grab Will and pull him to the chest full of Aztec gold pieces. "Hurry, we have to break the curse so Jack can win!" I said handing Will a knife and he cuts the palm of his hand as Jack throws the medallion in his hand at us and will grasps both pieces of gold in his bloody hand and drops them into the chest. Jack pulls out his gun and shoots Barbossa.
"This ain't over!" Pete yells as he runs away, Barbossa falls to his knees, hands shaking.
"I feel... cold," He said as he collapses and dies.
"Well, I don't think I want to be a pirate anymore." I said as everyone begins to laugh.
"But you've made such a good addition to my crew," Jack said with a smile, I hope that wasn't his try at hitting on me...
"Sorry, but she stays with me," Sora said wrapping his arm around my shoulder and we smile at each other.
"Let's get going." Donald said as we leave the cave, we get back to the Interceptor where Elizabeth is waiting. She quickly runs up to Will and hugs him.
"What now jack?" Will asks Jack
"Whatever I want now that the Pearl is mine again." he said,
"Hey Jack- good luck," Sora said
"And remember to be good," Donald added, as we all laugh.
"I'm off ," He said walking off towards the pearl, Will and Elizabeth hug again.
"Good for them," Sora said, I could tell he was thinking about Kairi.
"Hey Sora-" Goofy said out of nowhere taking Sora by surprise, "How come your face is all red?" Looks like Goofy could also tell. Sora quickly tries to hid his face.
"What?" It's not red!" He said
"Aw, I know who you're thinking about," Donald said as Sora completely covers his face. Jack stops and notices that his compass has started to glow. another Keyhole appears in the air and we unlock another road to a new world.
"You know..." Sora quickly changes the subject off of him. "For a minuet there... I was afraid we were going to lose Donald to the curse." He said
"Yep, me too." Goofy said, I remember earlier that Sora told me that Donald really likes treasure so I was surprised he didn't take any.
"What!" Donald yells as we all jump back out of fear. we quickly run back to the gummy ship before Donald kills one of us, I slept through this travel through again, Donald told me before I went to sleep that we were on our way to a world called Agrabah.
