Anon.: Close but no cigar with Captain Jack Sparrow

Lemur and Larvae are from Roman myths they are like bodiless Zombies and Manes are honored dead


Odin and the pack loped in the lemur and larvae's woods. The dark sprits slowly, drawn to the heat. Low growls and grunts were heard from the larvae, as they moved. Odin howled, the pack got into a defense position. Larvae were ruthless and like the Manes they couldn't truly die unless the tainted soul piece was ripped out. Sniffing the air, Odin pin pointed the closest one. Twenty yards out, moving none to quickly.

He growled as it shuffled toward him, faceless and a purple hue to it. It moaned, then lashed out toward the dire wolf pack. Odin lunged and tackled the larvae to the ground. It moaned and began to leach off the large wolf's body heat.

FOOD, It snarled latching on to Odin. He yipped as the chilling sensation seeped in to his bones. His yellow eye went dull. Then he felt a pull, Map. The wolf then tossed the Larvae to the side, he tore into its chest and pulled out the small purple tinted soul piece. His low dull howl echoed though the woods warning the other Larvae to stay away.'

Map, he felt her pull again. The only way that would be is if a Mane or Demon went to the living world to Map. This was not right, no Mane would travel to the Larvae woods to get to the world of the living. Odin had to get his master Edward Teach.


Cliffjumper looked at the girl, confusion crossed his face as they sat there. So when are you going to tell him that he is your king?

In time Cliffjumper, Map responded looking left of them all. Then she pulled her long sword from it's scabbard. She hissed a growl, placing the sword between herself and the space to the left of Jack.

There was a low moan as the purple hue glowed, Jack let out a cry of horror.

"Jack what's wrong," Arcee asked.

"What is that thing," Jack questioned pointing to his left. Everyone else shook their heads not seeing what he was. Jack looked to the far side of the room to see Map in person. "Can you kill it?"

"Kill what Jack there is nothing there." Arcee said everyone's respective eyebrows went up at the boy.

"Not you her, can you?"

"No, I can not kill it for it is not alive nor whole. But I can distract it," A female voice said all around them. "Come here Larvae, you can eat me faster then them."

The moan sounded again still heading for Jack, Map rushed and got in-between the Larvae and Jack. "You will not have him."

"Jack, what is going on?"

"You can't see them, oh God what is it turning into!" Jack shouted as the Larvae's arms split into four, its face disfigured to have protruding teeth.

"Still your brother's keeper Marcy, such a pity. You would have made a strong leader and queen, not like this silly boy who thinks he's a king."

Everyone looked at Jack who was horrified. "But you were killed Marcy, by the jealous partner in your uncle's business. What was their name, Toni."

"You should know. you were them," Map snarled.

"Map always one to cut to the chase. So you still believe that people are good." the four armed demon said. Strutting over to the knight, "I liked Marcy better you know, she was a good submissive sexy doll." One arm came to cup Map's jaw bone. Map batted it away with her gauntleted hand, "Map is just too defensive. I will enjoy killing you again my lover," The demon said out stretching its arms. Then there was the familiar click of a flintlock pistol.

"She ain't your lover demon," a man's voice said as the pistol fired.

"You should have been one of us, Blackbeard!" the demon screeched as the lead bullet drove in to the demon's flesh.

"I repaid my dept. I was no longer a slave to the fleshly wants when I died."

"I will be back little king for your soul," the demon chortled turning to a mist. Map and Mr. Teach let out a long hiss that sounded like a threat.

Mr. Teach I could have handled it myself. Map hissed softly to the barrel-chested man.

I know but Odin felt your presence and you know that wolf will stop at nothing to protect you. Mr. Teach hissed affectionately, approaching his superior.

"I can't understand you, Map you are my sister?" Jack said to the bodiless voices.

"You haven't told the lad, losing your touch of being the broad knight in shining armor." The man's voice sounded again. Who is that over yonder, the car that left you to die.

I didn't mean too I am so sorry. Cliffjumper hissed in his own soft voice. Jack however only heard Mr. Teach, the autobots and other humans looked around confused on who or what would attacked Jack in the very base.

"Jack, do you see dead people," Miko said shaky trying to make a joke that fell on deaf ears.

"I think I do Miko," Jack said slowly finally understanding why his mother was so up tight about these dreams.

"So are you afraid of these ghosts," she said with a smile.

"I ain't afraid of no ghost," Jack said with a smile.

"Of course my lord, that would be unfitting if you were afraid of your people." Map said pulling the band down making herself visible to all. Everyone jumped at the sudden appearance of a girl in medieval armor, "I am sorry but there is no slow introduction of being back in a fleshly body." Map flicked her pale head to throw the long raven braid down in front. "I wish I could have taken the duty from you Jackson as was planed from my birth. However fate ran a different course, I was taken prematurely from the world."

"What you were meant to take my place?"

"I was born and raised to be a leader, the ruler, I was in my mother's brother's advisor in his business. Toni, his partner, both admired and desired me. I submitted to Toni's ideas but not desires, in a fit that my uncle when he died I would get his half. Toni, had me murdered in jealously and rejection.

" Since then I was trained in combat and battle tactics by an old knight. I have risen to be the commander and Guard-master over your kingdom if you so shall have me. The reason I, we, have come for you my lord is that we are…" Map looked to an empty space.

"At war with the demons, the creature you witnessed lad," Mr. Teach said with a sad tone. Map looked down blindly, how she wished it was better circumstances that she was meting her half-brother. "The demons wish to rain terror, which they feed off of, on to humans. We, the Manes, are the last defense to the living. We only "live" to serve the living that we left and to come."

"Mr. Teach…"

"I know Map, I will up hold the lines." With that the older English man was gone, not that anyone but Jack saw him leave.

"You are at war, and you expect us just to let Jack go with you to war?" Arcee questioned with an edge. Her face riddled with a touch of remorse.

"No, we do not ever endanger our king. Especially one as young as Jackson, he is our… morale. I lead the army under our last king… our father." Map said slowly but in a strong tone that rivaled Arcee's. "I may not be able to see your face, but I know that you feel bad. There is something you must know Arcee, I was dead already. I would have not seen that night through anyway had you been there fast enough, not with that target on my back.

"However your concern was touching, I thank you. I was not use to such care, being I was but the dead's princess. I did not make friends, no one cared about me… that was alive. But that is not all you must know, he loved you very much."

Arcee mouth dropped a little. This girl had see Cliff, he told the girl he love her.


"You incompetent fool! You were to kill the boy Darby before the girl Darby got to him," a loud voice yelled from a dark void. "But no that imagined love affair you have with the girl Darby, made you lose focus." The demon getting yelled at cringed. Its love, for Marcy not Map, was not imagined. It stood the abusive yelling till the voice stopped. "What excuse do you have this time."

"N-n-none M-m-master," the demon stuttered. Backing away from the void, poor useless servants got pulled in there to be fed on. That was not going to be its fate, "The girl Darby was not alone. The one called Blackbeard came to her rescue her."

The voice laughed at the demon's stupidity of revoking its previous statement of no excuses. "You are a young demon Toni. Have you not seen Map fight, she can dismantle you before you can scream. You are lucky to survived both of them, however they might have let you live so the boy Darby will agree to be their little king." The voice boomed in a roaring laughter, "he will fail them. He is no king, the girl Darby was to be the strong leader. This boy will fall to our slaughter, send out the guard to the portal. Even Map can't fight us all."

The void surged, four large black hands shot out then shrank into two as the large demon master came out of the void as a human. A smile came on the human's face, Map still wanted her father's approval. She would never have it now, that he was dead. The demon master ran a hand though the black hair and adjusted its glasses, it was now Nicolas Darby. Father of Marcy and Jackson, "Let the psychological warfare begin!"


"I ain't afraid of no ghost" Get it Get it, There is no canon name for Jack's Father so I went with Nicolas
