They crew had been sailing around sea's stopping at various ports to loot small things and trade them for food & supplies .
Jack was in all his glory barely thirteen years old and already a great Pirate Captain , or so he thought anyway .
The crew was in the middle of the Caribbean sea when Fitz noticed in the distance a large pirate vessel headed towards them "CAPTAIN " yelled Fitz, Jack run up from under the deck where he was taking a nap , Jack grabbed his telescope and looked at the ship " oh bugger" Fitz yelled up the Captain " what should we do sir ? Jack looked down "SIR ? ORDERS " yell Fitz " there's nothing we can do " replied Jack.
Within minutes the large pirate vessel was right up beside the barnacle dozen of pirates where at the side of the ship with there swords drawn the Barnacle crew was scared except Jack who just stood there with a very bitter look on his face .
Suddenly the captain walked to the edge of ship he looked down at the barnacle " hello Jackie " It was Captain Teague " Jack looked up and give Teague a sarcastic smile The Crew forced the barnacle crew on to the ship Teague ordered "not to rough Lads they be just kids ".
Teague ordered his crew to take Jack to his quarters and get the rest of the crew some food.
Jack was sitting at the captain's table he had poured him self some rum and took a drink just Teague walked in " ah so you drink rum now do you ?" ask Teague .
Jack replied "aye I'm a Captain" Teague laughed and said "of that dinghy out there " Jack got a stern look on his face " a man should not make light of a other mans vassal" Teague face straighten "aye you be right that vassal has done you well it took me months to finely find you , Jack look at Teague with a confused look "Jackie I've been on your tail every since you left shipwreck cove' the minute the lady was sea worthy again we set sail to find you" Jack was in shock that Teague was actually worried about him. Jack asked "hows mum and grandmamma " Worried Jackie ...worried bout you . Jack stood up and said well I'm doing great on my own , All with the few months I commandeered a ship, gathered a crew , killed two Pirate captains ... I even found the sword of Cortes " said Jack proudly
Teague nodded , " aye I herd all the tales Jackie , you've done very well " Jack look at his father , "well I guess I did have some good lessons " Teague smiled
"The lady looks as good as ever" said Jack "aye took alot of work but I got it back almost to where she should be " replied Teague " you look hungry Jackie , I'll get the cook to bring you some food "won't be necessary I'll dine with my crew" said Jack
Jack's crew where in the dining quarters enjoying there first real meal in months , Bell saw Jack and called him over , Jack walked down to join them " bloody pigs said Jack " just as Jack sat down to eat he herd the first mate Robbie " WHITE SAILS" the crew rushed to the deck whites could mean only one thing A navy ship headed toward the lady
Jack got onto the deck of the lady looked out and saw five royal navy ships headed toward them , Teague rushed to the helm.
Jack was on his way to join him when all the sudden Fitz Jacks first mate draw his sword and pointed into Jack backs " I won't be doing that capt`n , you see those ships are headed here to pick your dear old daddy Jackie boy and hang him for his acts against the crown " Jack slowly turned around "is it now " replied Jack and how might these ships now about my daddy as it where " Fitz smiled " I've been working as a spy for the royal navy all along Jack , and you finely led me too your dear daddy , and you see it's quite easy to leave a trial seeing as you stop at all most every port " Jack got angry and draw his sword " I knew I should have killed you in Tortunga" Fitz Laughed ha you forget Jack won that battle and I'll win this one too ! ``
With that the two young lads battled once again , Jack knocked Fitz sword out of his hand , Jack then pressed his blade against Fitz throat "any last words trader "said Jack.
``I wouldn't be doing that if I where you lad ``said a voice Jack had been so wrapped up in his battle with Fitz he forgot about the navy . By the time jack realized what was going on he was shackled and toss to the ground Jack looked around the whole crew of the Misty Lady including the Captain had been shackled as well where Jacks crew , minus of course Fitz " a tall man wearing a white wig walked up to Fitz , "good Job nephew your services will not go un rewarded .
now bring me mister Teague , two sailors brought Teague to the men with the wig , Teague shoved the sailors off him "Lawrence Norrington, commanding admiral of this fleet, I presume?" asked Teague
"Well, well, it would appear even a dim-witted scoundrel like you is capable of being correct on occasion " said the admiral Teague Smiled and said "what took you soon long" the admiral Smiled and said "time and tide " lock these paizits in the brig " yes sir replied the crew the navy crew led all the misty ladys crew over to the navy ship and locked all of them in the brig.
In the captains quarters Fitz enter to talk to his uncle " ah nephew come in , you remember my son James " Fitz nodded and offer his hand to young James , James was only about five years old his father brought him to sea to teach him about pirates and how dangerous they are " James looked at Fitz strangely but shook his hand anyway , "glad you found the way ok uncle " , yes it was quite easy really said the admiral , seem as though the Captain's young lad stop his ship at every port " Fitz thought back , he remember the past few months he had a lot of good time on board the ship with Jack & the crew then he snapped back " aye sir he's new to sailing and was checking things out as it where "
" Yes well now he well be able to see his father hang in the gallows and by the sounds of things he well soon have a date with the gallows as well " said the admiral
The navy ship was towing the lady behind no doubt they planned on making it a navy ship one day .
The crew was put into three separate brigs Jack and his crew in one , Captain Teague and four of his crew in another and the rest of Teague crew in the third
Jack was sitting down trying to figure out a way to escape this , Bell walked up to him "Captain Teague ? His your father " so it would seem replied Jack , "the admiral said he will hang , does mean you will hang too Jack ? Asked bell "love nothing is for sure in this world " replied Jack
"you see young master turner this is where I Joshamee Gibbs become a big part in Young Jacks life , Although I knew Jack's father for along time we set on different paths in life although the Captain supplied myself with rum so I was always great full and never told anyone about him , however the admiral soon found out about Captain Teague and was determined to bring him to justice , when I herd about the admiral's plans to go after Teague I signed up to join his crew " now where was I "
Jack was drifin in and out of sleep
Suddenly a young sailor stormed down to the brig "ello mister Gibbs Said Teague " Capt'n said Gibbs with a smile I haven't got much time I'll unlock the cell then I must go " Teague smile "very good , but I need you to unlock my sons cell & my crews too savvy " Gibbs face turned grim "Jackie ..they got him too " Teague point toward Jack . Gibbs turned and saw Jack and his young crew "aye " said Gibbs and he quickly unlock all cells when he herd some of the navy sailors coming down to check on the prisoner Gibbs got a very worried look on his face "no worries mate said Teague " Gibbs turned around and Teague Punched him right in the face , so the sailors would think he try to stop them rather then help them
Teague motioned for Jack to follow him , they hide behind some barrels the other pirates waited in the cells for orders , the two sailors saw Gibbs laid out on the floor " MAN DOWN " yell one just then Teague pierced his sword through one and Jack did the same through the other " that be three men down " said Teague and he called the other pirates to follow him
They made there way on to the deck when a sailor saw them and rang the bell Teague rolled his eyes and said "guess where going have to fight r way off this ship "
