Pirates Of The Caribbean 6: The Death Sword Quest!

Part 3: The Megalodon's Return!

All 3 captains were returning to the beach.

Angelica whispered to Jack:

Angelica: You know? We were SO lucky!

Jack: Still thinking on that? What we need to worry about now, is that bloody…"test"! I'm wondering what are they up to…

Angelica: We can't predict anything!

Jack: So it's better we warn them to be prepared for everything… Aye? – She nodded while Liz walked towards them.

Liz: Any ideas of what we should do now? They told us to don't go further…

Angelica: Aye. For now we wait... We can't disobey them! And we can't predict what is going to happen in the next few days, so we've to be prepared for everything! - Hector walked to her side.

Liz: You mean the "test"?

Hector: I've a plan! – Both turned to him. – We should work to make them believe that they are with the kindest that ever stepped in this land!

Jack: Aye?... How on earth am I suppose to make them believe in that? – Angelica smiled and laughed inside her head, " You just can't, Jack…".

Hector: Well I'm sure that you'll find a way Jack... – He took a step forward but immediately turned back to them. - Ohh And you all should thank me! …If it wasn't for me, you were all dead right now! – Angelica rolled her eyes, " Yeah, right!".

Suddenly they heard a huge roar coming from the beach.

William was going to pick his sword from the ground, but when he kneeled, the Flying Dutchman shook and he almost fell on the floor. Immediately he looked to his son, on the other side of deck, which was making a lot of effort to keep the balance and standing up, putting all his body weight on the wood under his feet.

Will III: What was that?

Will: Don't know…

Will III: We should go check it! – He ran to the edge of the ship to inspect the water.

The ship shook again and a strong tide pushed The Empress away from the place where both ships were united.

Will III: The Empress! – He tried to move closer to the edge.

Will: No! Don't! – He pushed his son back. – Go to my cabin son! I've got to see what's happening here!

Will III: But dad…-

Will: No buts! I don't want you to get injured! You should go to my cabin and get in safety! – The ship shook again, this time with more strength. – Woh… - He held his son against the edge of the deck, to resist to the impact.

Suddenly a Megalodon immersed in the surface. William III was amazed with the hugeness of the animal until the heavy "shark" roared. William pushed him down on the ground.

Will: Get down!

Will III: What are we going to do now?

Will: Don't worry son! All that you've to do is go to the second deck and get in one of those jails. You'll be in safety there.

Will III: In the jail?

Will: Don't complain! Just GO! – The boy ran to the second deck. – And call up all the sailors to the main deck!

Will watched the Megalodon swim in circles before suddenly turn to the Empress and go straight at her.

Will: Oh no… - He turned around to see his men getting on the deck. – I need the triple canyons! Right now!

Men: Aye Captain! – They ran through the deck while some ones got back to the second deck, to use triple canyons, and other ones stayed on the main deck and got ready to shoot the animal with the normal canyons.

When canyons started to be heard, both captains and their crews ran to the beach.

Hector: What's happening?

Liz: My ship! – Angelica arrived.

Angelica: It's the Megalodon! – She inspected the Flying Dutchman shooting to the huge shark at the sea. – They can't kill him like that…!

Hector:… Than I think that I can give them a hand with that! – Angelica inspected his face, "You? You're despicable! How can you help us?" Than she saw his arm moving slowly downward and guessed what he was going to do. "My father's sword… you bastard! At least this time you'll use her for a good purpose!". She held her necklace tightly as she saw the Revenge sail towards the Megalodon. " He is attacking us just because he thinks that we represent danger for him…"

Hector gave orders to the ship to pull down fire all the way in front of the bow. The "shark" roared when he saw the Revenge firing against him and immediately changed direction to face her.

Angelica: Stop! – She pushed him away and he lost contact with the sword. – He is afraid of us! That's why he is attacking! And you're giving him more reasons to attack us!

Hector: Well… Than we have no other option but continuing attacking on him. Or else he will destroy our ships! Aye? – He put his hand on the sword again and the ablaze fire was back.

He sent all the ropes on his ship to pursuit the animal and hang him to the bow. "I know that this won't hold you for too much longer… But William and I will kill you before you make it out!", Hector thought.

The canyons of the Flying Dutchman kept shooting while the Revenge's ropes brought the Megalodon closer to the fire. "Calm… Stay calm…", Hector needed to keep focus. The animal was seconds away from breaking free of the ropes when he felt the fire touch his skin on the back and some fresh air rush his cold and naked flesh. The "shark" roared in pain. His position, right in front of the ship's bow, was perfect for use the secret canyons of the Revenge.

Right next to the bow, 4 double canyons showed up and shot the animal in his back. Immediately he showed to lose some strength when he got caught by the impact that those canyon balls fired a couple of meters away behind him.

The Flying Dutchman sailed for a position parallel to the "shark" and used all the lateral canyons on him. Inside the ship, Will III could see perfectly the animal being shot.

The animal was getting weak. It didn't mattered how much he cried in pain. Angelica was about to cry, incredulous with the cruelty that was being used against that poor animal who only wanted to protect himself from the stranger who could damage his home.

Every shot couldn't fail now. Weak and pale, the invulnerable Megalodon left his body fall in the thickened arms of the ropes, with no hopes of getting up again.

Hector: Done! –Hector, Liz, Angelica and William, stood, watching the animal float next to the Revenge.

Angelica bent her head down and tried to look away, and that was when she saw Jack, who was just like her, with his head bent down and trying to look to other way around.

For each day that got through his life, Jack became to realize that the world was changing. In each new day that would come, there would be more empty space to fill in this world. "No one cares about it… They just… shoot and kill…! If they die no one would give a damn for it! Just like it happened to me before… They killed that Megalodon for fun or for the real danger that he represented?". The answer came when Hector laughed.

Hector: I told you that I was going to use him for a new bow on next time I would see him! – Hector laughed and saw Jack lost in his thoughts.

" Idiot… One day you'll wake up and realize that you killed everything that turned this life into something special, everything that illustrated concretely the existence of life… all just for fun!" . Hector inspected Jack's face and looked away, not knowing that Angelica was looking to him aside and the way that he took off his attention from Jack, it took her attention back to Jack. She stepped closer to him. "One day, all the freedom that I'm asking for, will become the worst curse on life!". He could hear her, breathing right behind him.

Jack: One day, the world will be an empty space. After killing every kind of animals, we will end up killing each other. I don't want to be alive whenever that day comes… – He walked to the beach and Hector followed him, and so their crews later.

Angelica stood for a while, thinking about what Jack just told her. "You're so right…", she concluded, and turned around to look for Liz, but she was just a few steps away from her, inspecting Angelica. She could read Liz's mind because Liz looked from her to Jack. Angelica avoided to get involved in that atmosphere by cutting the moment.

Angelica: Let's go? – Liz nodded "yes".

Liz: Yeah. – Her tone seemed so shy, quietly breaking the silence, like lost in thoughts. Slowly she bent her head to her crew men who started to walk to the beach.

Will III slid on a rope to get on the Pearl and run to Jack.

Will III: Uncle! – He hugged Jack with tenderness. Jack smiled and put his hand on the boy's hair.

Jack: Hello my little demon! – The boy laughed and smiled to him.

Gibbs arrived.

Gibbs: Orders captain?

Jack: Rest until the end of the day. And drink some rum mate! Aye?– He gave a pat on Gibbs shoulder and looked to the little boy. – Will and I are going to train. – The boy seemed irradiant. – BUT, - He kneeled next to the boy. - First you should tell to your mother what we're going to do… The last time we trained without her knowledge she almost killed me, remember? – The kid laughed.

Will III: Alright uncle! – The boy climbed to the edge of the ship and whistled to a sailor on the Empress. The boy took a rope and slid on it while the crew man sent him another rope for him to change in the middle of the way and land on the Empress's deck.

Gibbs: Impressive! – He gave a pat on Jack's shoulder and walked to the deck.

Will III ran to Liz's arms.

Liz: Hi sweetie.

Will III: Welcome back mom. – She hugged him. – Mom? May I train with uncle Jack?

Liz: Train? Are you sure you want –

Will III: Please… - He made such a cute smile and his eyes shone so lightly that she could say no.

Liz: Alright!

Will III: Yes! – Liz inspected Jack. "Hum… I'm not sure about this Jack… Last time you trained together William almost got hurt… I need someone to who I can trust to keep you under control…".

Angelica arrived a bit later with the rest of the crew.

Liz: Oh, Angelica! – Angelica turned to Liz. – Come here. – She walked towards her. – Angie, could you please take Will to have a train with Jack? – Than she whispered closer to Angelica's ear. – And keep your eyes on them? I don't want William to get hurt or something… – Angelica took a look to the Pearl and sighed.

Angelica: Of course Captain…! – Will smiled and looked to Jack, who was leaning on the edge of the ship, watching attentively them.

"Oh bloody hell Liz…! Don't tell that you're sending the …. Argh! Damn!"

At the Revenge, the sailors were taking the Megalodon into the second deck while the captain was giving orders to keep the animal fresh.

Hector was driving them though the stairs when a blue fairy flew to him and suddenly got in front of his nose.

Blue: Hey! – She smiled. Hector jumped with his feet stuck on the ground.

Hector: Hey!

Blue: May I ask you what are you doing?

Hector: I… I was just returning to my ship, when I saw this amazing creature attacking my ship… I know that they are some very rare creatures and I wanted to keep her alive … But unfortunately he didn't gave me any other option… I'm so sorry... I had to kill him... I know that didn't wanted us to do this... –He gave a guilty look to the fairy. – We are terribly sorry! –He paused. – If you look to my bow-

Blue: We already saw it! – The fairy looked a last time to the Megalodon. – That creature only attacked your ships because she was afraid of you! – Hector was starting to feel nervous. – But we can understand you. She would probably kill you and so you did what had to be done…

Hector: Yes… - The fairy prepared to walk out.

Blue: By the way, it will surely look better as a bow! – The fairy smiled to Hector, who was paralyzed by fear. "She knows…! Is she going to judge me? Is she playing with me? Or is she… being "nice"?". – No fear Mr. Barbossa. I know everything. You can't lie to me. But I won't judge you for this, you were only doing what every creature would do in this situation: Fight to survive. – She flew to the outside while Hector was inspecting her. " I think I like this fairy…!"

On the Pearl, Angelica was sat on the stairs while watching Jack and William training together.

She looked so bored! Unlike Jack and William, who were enjoying the match.

Jack was taking it slow, not wanting to tire the young pirate.

Their swords clashed against each other too many times. William was feeling that they would never get out of that defensive and counter-attack moves, so he tried to change the game. He rolled over to his right, escaping to an investment coming from Jack's sword, and immediately took the chance to send his sword to the hilt of Jack's one.

Jack immediately felt the boy's intention and dragged his sword to get across Will's. The boy almost smiled, " Ha! How could I think that I would catch you with such an easy strategy? … This is one of those times that you seem so far away from me to reach you… One of those times that you show me that you're my idol… I can't take that distance… I want to show you that I'm getting stronger!" he quickly started to attack Jack, trying to stab him on the shoulders but Jack dodged well. The boy tried to stab him in the chest but Jack's sword was faster than his, so she immediately came across the air next to his blade.

Will didn't gave up and tried to stab him in the arms, legs, shoulders, chest, neck…

Jack: Easy boy…! If you hold her so tightly she will break free! – The boy slowed down. "I see that you're getting tired… Let's finish this one now!", Jack turned the game around and now it was his turn to attack the opponent. He quickly simulated that he was going to stab him in arms and left the boy respond with defensive moves as fast as he could, and when the boy was finally seeming to get tired, Jack stabbed Will's swords-hilt and she flew into the air to Jack's hand.

William sighed and Jack smiled.

Jack: Well done William! Now take a rest. – He gave him back his sword and Will immediately sheathed it while going to sit next to Angelica.

She caressed his hair and said:

Angelica: Good reflexes Will! – She smiled. The boy looked to her.

Will III: Thank you. – He smiled while enjoyed to feel her caressing his hair and looked to Jack.

William stirred the eyebrows while left her hug him. Jack pretended to ignore the boy that was mocking him. Suddenly Will turned to Angelica.

Will III: You seem too bored… Why do you try to train a bit with uncle Jack? You're both at the same level…– Jack was nodding, very quickly, but her evil smile was too clear to keep his hopes up.

Angelica: Aye… Why won't we train together? I'm sure that William could learn something while watching us… - She was clearly challenging him.

"You're the one who has to learn "something"…" he didn't really wanted to fight with her but suddenly, "I'm going to teach you your place… woman." He took off his black jacket and she threw hers away too.
