A/N: 'ello all. 'ere is the next chapter. Lots of excitement and action 'ere:) I hope y'all like it.
And now… (drum roll please) Chapter 6!
Jack smirked.
He called "Let's 'ave some fun shall we!"
"Do not fire 'til my command!"
Scarlet went to the rail closest to the Pearl. She called over to Jack.
"Sail around in front of us and as soon as Norrington is next to the Rose you come around on his other side!"
An evil grin spread across Scarlet's face.
She said "We'll catch him in the 'cross fire'!"
The Pearl maneuvered so it was perpendicular to the Rose's bow.
The Courageous sailed toward the two ships.
Scarlet yelled, "Run up the colors!"
The crewman called "What colors Cap'n?"
Scarlet looked over at the Pearl then out to the Courageous. Smirking she called "The Jolly Rodger!"
"Aye, Aye Cap'n!"
The black flag was raised. Upon it was a white skull. Beneath the skull's chin was a cutlass and a pistol.
Gina came up to the helm. She asked "What's the plan Cap'n?"
Scarlet smirked "Catch them Navy boys in a cross fire."
"So that's what's put ya in such a fine mood."
"That among…other things."
Gina nodded knowing exactly what Scarlet was talking about; Jack Sparrow. Gina grinned as Scarlet called to the crew.
"Prepare to board and man the guns! She ain't goin' down without a fight!"
The same commands were heard echoing across the Black Pearl in front of the Crimson Rose.
As the Courageous drew close it fired off a few cannons. All of which fell short of the two pirate ships. Jack and Scarlet took these as warning shots but another volley came. And again they fell short.
Scarlet yelled to her crew "Fire one volley!"
One round of cannon balls collided with the hull of the Royal Navy ship.
The Courageous pulled right in next to the Crimson Rose. Scarlet called "Bring 'em to their knees boys!"
This was Scarlet's way of saying 'fire at will' and to bring the enemy to surrender without sinking them. This phrase also scared the Navy sailors when they heard that command coming from the feared captain's lips.
At this command Jack brought the Black Pearl around to the other side of the Courageous. The Pearl fired a volley at the Courageous, careful not to hit the Rose.
Scarlet gave the order to board when there was sufficient chaos aboard the Navy ship. The hooks were thrown to the rails of the Courageous. The crew started fighting the Navy men.
Scarlet had Gina stay aboard and take care of the Rose if she should be taken. Scarlet knew Norrington. He'd take them alive to prosecute them in front of all of Port Royal.
The battle ceased. Scarlet's men held the Navy sailors at cutlass and pistol point.
Scarlet swung from the Crimson Rose over to the Courageous. She landed walking, her boots resounding off the quiet deck as she made her way over to the Commodore. As she came up to him she said "Commodore Norrington." She stopped in front of him. Scarlet continued "What possibly made you so stupid as to go after two pirate ships sitting side by side? And even more, two of the most famous pirate ships in the Caribbean." Norrington glared at her. Amusement danced across Scarlet's face. She said in mock thoughtfulness "I don't think we'll kill ya. Port Royal needs their Commodore after all. And, who knows, your charge might just come back. It's a terrible shame she disappeared on you."
Scarlet smirked. She called "Johnny!"
"Aye Cap'n." The blonde pirate came forward.
"Put some holes in the Commodore's sails."
From the other side of the Courageous Jack called "Gibbs, take two and loose their cannons."
"Aye, Aye Cap'n."
During this moment Norrington did some quick thinking. Grabbing Scarlet he pulled her arms behind her back and held her in front of him.
He said "Alright Rebecca. Tell them to leave and you all live another day."
"You'll pay for this," she growled.
Scarlet called "Hold it!"
Johnny stopped midway up the rigging.
She said "Johnny forget what I said. All o' ya get back to the Rose! Jack get outta 'ere before he tries ta hang ya again! Gina! Take care o' her!"
Norrington pulled Scarlet back. He called "This is your only chance. Leave now and you will be spared today."
Every pirate there looked at Scarlet.
She yelled "Get outta 'ere ya scallywags!"
They all, reluctantly, did as she commanded. The two black ships pulled away from the Royal Navy ship. Norrington called "Set sail!"
He took Scarlet's sword and the gun tucked into her sash. He also took the knife that was in the sheath on her hip. He let go of her when the Courageous had sailed a fair distance from the pirate ships.
He stood in front of Scarlet. He said "So we meet again. You're not escaping this."
The look on Norrington's face was one Becky had never seen before. It was almost maniacal.
Scarlet looked him in the eyes defiantly and said "Watch me."
He came to stand behind her and said "You have no weapons. What are you without a weapon and a crew to back you up?"
Scarlet hissed "The best pirate you'll never have the pleasure of hanging."
She attempted to turn to hit him but he caught her arm and painfully yanked it up behind her. She hissed in pain. He let go of her and came back to stand in front of her. He glared at her. She put her hand behind her back and grasped the handle of her gun that was tucked in the back of her pants.
Norrington said "You are nothing."
She screamed "You are a pathetic, worthless ass!"
She pulled the gun out and fired. There was a bang and a puff of smoke.
