They had been a sea for about two hours "Jack " said bell "captain " replied jack bell rolled her eyes fine "captain " yes " replied Jack "there's a map here on deck Jack look down at the writing he started to read it but keep losing control of the ship "let me take the helm said Fitz "NO" replied Jack "I'm the Captain I control the helm" Bell rolled her eyes " oye give me the map Ill read it "
Fitz went below the ship to see if there was any supplies left over he came back up "not much a few bottles of rum and some perseveres. Said Fitz
Suddenly a storm had rolled in fierce lighting, heavy rain and ear piecing thunder all to familiar to young Jack ,but Jack stay strong at the helm controlling the vassal as best as he could.
The storm lasted close to two days but ,they braved the fierce storm and the scabbard led them to the Isla Esquelética.
Fitz got off the Baracale and kiss the ground " why did I ever get on a ship with this mad men " Hey if it wasn't for Jack we would have been lost at sea replied bell "Captain love Captain said Jack.
Jack headed up the beach "I herd stories of this island that there is a city in valley of the island called city of the dead , it was build by a pirate named Stone Eyed Sam of course his long since pasted on " Fitz look at jack "I suppose where going to this city then" The scabbard is pointing that way mate eh" said jack.
They traveled through a small jungle until coming up upon the city ,it look small and deserted no sign of anyone there where a few taverns and houses.
In the middle of the city was an ornate palace. Decorated with pictures of the Aztec gods, "there" Jack pointed " to the palace That must have been Stone Eyed Sam's" they slowly walked toward the palace .
Two boys run out of the palace yelling , Fitz and Jack pulled there swords , the taller young boy had a large piece of wood "leave us be we don't want no trouble"
Jack replied trouble? Look where not here looking for trouble we simply want the other piece of this " and he show them the scabbard the shorter one reply "that's what the other piece the captain was searching for " Captain" reply Jack the taller one step in front "aye Captain Left-foot louis we helped him find this palace then he locked us up and left with the other piece to that pointing to the scabbard "
"Left with the other piece? asked Jack" Jack knew all about Left- Foot Louis he got that nick name because he had two left feet and was the Captain of the Cutlass and Jack knew he would do anything to rule the power of the sea , Bell had a long blank stare
"what's wrong love asked jack" that's the pirate who slay my mum "
Jack look at Bell who looked very sad then replied "well then I guess that's two reasons to go find ole lefty eh "
"I'm Jean this my friend Tumen" said the shorter one "Captain Jack ..that's fitz & the lovely Bell , do you gents know where Captn' Lefty was taking said sword ? asked Jack aye said Jean Isla Fortuna .
"thank you gents crew we now the location of are next heading ya " "Capt'n said Tumen can we come with you " "oye everywhere I go people want to follow me along I got no time to me self " Said Jack , Bell walk over to Jack and put her hand on Jacks arm "we could always use the help " Jack smirked "welcome aboard gents"
They made there way back through the jungle to the Baracle just they where almost there someone grabbed Bell it was Captain Torrents he had a knife up against her neck " give me the scabbard or I'll cut her throat " Suddenly a Storm rolled in again this time even worst . " I NEED THAT BOY " Torrents yelled then relived his purpose for wanting the scabbard " I was press-ganged into service aboard the Flying Dutchman, but struck a bargain with Captain Davy Jones. I agreed to search for the Sword of Cortés and bring it to Jones, in exchange for My freedom. But ensure I kept to my word, Jones marked my chest with the this symbol of Quetzalcoatl, Jack look the same symbol was on the scabbard of the Sword itself. "And then to make matters worst This angered the Aztec gods, who placed a curse on me, you see I be followed where ever I go by storms. They cursed me. Rain and storm wherever I go—worse when I've grown angry. And, my dear boy, right now, I'm very very angry."
"SO GIVE ME THAT " Jack look at the scabbard and look at Bell she nodded at Jack, Jack look at Torrents and said "NO " Bell then elbowed Torrents in the gut , Fitz and Jack draw there swords and pointed them right at Torrents he stood up "aigh then boys who wants to die first" a battle begun Jack & Fitz forced Torrents through the jungle back towards the edge of a cliff Torrents did noticed the cliff in time and he fell crushing into the water below ' I guess it's back to the Dutchman eh" said Jack , Fitz look at Jack wow that was amazing the storm stopped and the clouds parted the sun was shining again
"Back to ship we got a sword to find " said Jack
Bell and the new crew man had the ship ready "everything ok captain " aye said Jack way anchor it's time to get that sword . And with that the young crew had set sail for the Isla Fortuna .
Fitz walked up to the helm "you know you can't sail this vassal by your lonesome all the time gonna have to sleep sooner or little " Jack thought for a minute "sleep…nope I'm good " Fitz looked disappointed and began to walk away Jack then said "hey Fitzy whats say you take the helm for a spell will I rest my legs savvy ? Fitz turned around and said " nah I think Ill go take nap " oh said Jack… Fitz then walked up to Jack "tell you what Captain you make me yer first mate I'll think about it " Jack knew fitz was smarter then Jack had given him credit for " alright then said Jack "I'll make you me first mate so long as you don't try any thing stupid do we have in accord? "aye said Fitz "And with that Fitz took over at the helm.
Jack turned around and said "oye Fitzy we make it to the Isla fortuna before I wake you best wake me before you go searching for that sword savvy ? Aye Aye Capt'n said Fitz and Jack went below deck and rested.
Bell had been showing Jean & Tumen what to do on the Baracale , Bell then ask "so how did you two become part of Left foots crew "we didn't said Jean " aye said Tumen we where slaves and one day not that long ago we escaped and stowed again on board the Cutlass " we had only been at sea for about a day when the crew found us " said Jean " Tumen looked angry that Jean had cut him off " anyway The captain tossed us in the brig and said as soon as we made port he was gonna tie us up and let the animals eat us " Jean looked on " luckily for us we struck a deal with him to set us free if we led him to the palace see Tumen here grew up in the city of the dead " Tumen looked angry again " aye then the Captain locked us in the brig in the palace and lefted us there nice gratitude for helping him " ya luckily Tumen was a great lock picker we got out just not long before you showed up" said Jean.
Fitz Looked ahead " Bell wake the Captain where here" the crew had arrived on the Isla Fortuna. To continue the hunt for the sword of cortes .
Jack came up onto the deck "bleedy hell that was fast said Jack" Jack grabbed the scabbard from Fitz "this be my mate" said jack and the crew headed through another jungle Jack looked through some large tree leaves he spotted Captain Left -Foot Louis who was barking order to some of his crew around a small village Jack look at Louis hand "the sword" Jack spotted the sword of cortes right in Louis hand " how we gonna get It from him "asked Bell "I haven't thought of that said Jack"
Jack walked ahead the crew follow " oye Captain Lefty I've come for me sword " Left foot turned around "did ye now" said Louis and began charging toward Jack and the crew Jack and the crew fled , Jack handed Tumen & Jean the Scabbard "don't let anyone see this savvy " then Jack run into a church and hide behind a bench Louis kicked the door open " come on out boy and you won't get hurt …..much " Jack jumped out from the bench and pulled his sword and the two begun duelling " foolish boy I might have let ye live if you didn't pull yer sword on me " oye I might have let you live if you would have just given me the sword mate " said Jack
They begun to duel suddenly Fitz charged in to help jack and two of them Fought Louis then battle ensue through the church over benches , under crosses even ontop of the organ Fitz swug very hard knocking the sword of Cortes out of Louis's hand in flew across the room where Bell had been standing , Bell pick up the sword "Louis look at her " give me the sword girly " she look up and said I' otta plunge it into yer black heart " Jack run up behind Louis and put his sword against Louis's back " easy mate" Jack looked at bell and said " please the sword love " Jack wondered it could lose power if use to slay someone then jack motioned for Fitz to hand Bell his sword " that one well do just find love" Jack took the sword of cortes from Fitz and Fitz took over behind Fitz Louis laughed "swords useless with the scabbard lad" Jack called Jean in " you mean this " Jack pulled out the scabbard from the sack Louis eyes went bright red and he started to charge at Jack then Bell stabbed the sword right into Louis's heart , Louis stopped and look down bell withdraw the sword "that was for my mum " Louis clasped on the floor of the church
Jack walked over to Bell "you square now love" bell turned and hugged Jack
Jack then said "we best get to the ship before the crew finds us "
They made there way back to the Baracle and set sail Jack let Fitz take the helm Jack had yet to put the sword into the scabbard he wasn't sure he was ready for the power it would have "Capt'n said Bell ,Jack snapped back to reality "yes " you know the two have to come in contact to be activate right ?asked Bell "aye " said Jack
Jack slowly put the sword back into the scabbard the winded changed the course and it seemed as though the ground jumped Jack smiled "the power is mine" the crew cheered
The crew travel a day away from Isla fortuna Jack wanted distance between the crew and crew's Louis crew jack figured that the crew would have found the fallen Captain and be searching for them , they where out in the open water not a soul in site Jack waving the shaking the sword of cortes "how do you work this bloody thing " Fitz look at jack "so do we have a heading" Jack thought long and hard he looked around " we need to find out how to use this sword " replied Jack
Tumen heard jack " I know who could help" Jean run over "your crazy I can't go back to see her" Tumen stopped him "if anyone would know about the power of this sword it's her " Jack looked confused "her?' "aye" said Jean looking at Tumen , Jean turned to Jack " Tia Dalma"
