Pirates Of The Caribbean 6: The Death Sword Quest!
Part 5: Renegaded Fairies
Little Simon flew around the Pearl, looking for Jack inside the holes of the sides of the ship, where the canyons were sleeping. Seeing nothing but empty space, besides the wrinkled and rough black wood, he tried another hole, this time feeling more secure. In this one he could see less than emptiness. Nothing at all! Everything around him was too darkness, too quiet and too smelly, and as soon he became to realize, the place was too small!
A sanded smell, which invaded his nose, tasted his tongue and gone through his throat, made him quickly cover his mouth and exhaled. But failed, and sneezed.
"Powder!"
He flew back and searched around for windows to spy, and through a glass he got by. There was nothing but empty space before them, again! Well… in one of them, he could see a fat guy landing on a bed and falling asleep. From the way that the guy was snoring, Simon pondered about throwing a jar of water up on his head, but it would get the man angry and upset… and so Simon kept searching for Jack.
Jack used his keys to open a dark wood door, hid in the back of the ship, then both got inside, carefully and silently.
After a couple of ugly guys, sleeping and drinking their heads off at the second deck, he heard a different tone of voice. This one was low, deep, and cracked.
He was moved by curiosity towards the next window and immediately hid under the glass by instinct, with his ears glued to the conversation before them.
Jack: So…- Turning back to Will. – What do ya've to tell me? –Sitting on a bench, in front of Will.
Will: I- Sitting on an old bench too. – I don't even know from where shall I start Jack!
Jack: From the beginning! I think… - He faked a smile and Will took a deep breath as Jack threw a hand to the floor to bring up a bottle and drink from it. – Is there any problem, mate?
Will closed and rubbed his eyes nervously, and Jack got worried.
Will: Right… So, the beginning it will be! - He though a bit. –I've heard some myths about the Death Sword. In fact, as the owner of the Locker, you know about this sword, more than any of you, will. I know her power and I know her weaknesses. – He paused. – So before you start putting your life at risk and push yourself too hard, I want to warn you, Jack. - He paused to inspect Jack's expression of concern. You were ressurected from the dead once. And as owner of the Locker, I tell you that you can't be ressurected twice! The sword will have no power over you if you're counting on her.
Jack: ...What about Hector?
Will: It's different. When he died, his body was left among us. On your case, neither of the two was left in here. - He paused. - That why we had to go directly to the Locker.
Jack: ... - He sighed.
Will: Jack. I know you well enough to say that you will find yourself in the middle of a fight. So I tell you this as a mate, don't do anything stupid whenever that time comes. - Jack nodded in agreement.- I just wanted to warn you. Hope you keep that in mind on the field! - He got up and walked out.
Simon heard everything, incredulous. " This guy… If something happens to him… Probably he won't make it out!" . He flew into the room, hiding in the shadows, and watched Jack recomposing himself. "No Death Sword will be able to save him!" He inspected Jack a little more. "Well… this is my human…" So, carefully, he decided to fly closer to Jack.
Simon: Mrrr…Hello?... – His tone was a sadness evening on a beach. Jack looked around to know from where that voice did came out. Simon flew to the top of the bench where William was sitting some minutes ago.
Jack: Hi there, little fairy… Came to get the eye on me? – His tone was similar to Simon's but still tried to give to the fairy a warm smile.
Simon: Yes sir- Sorry! Captain!... – He stood. – I see that you're all pirates in here…! - He looked around and then back to Jack. - My name is Simon, Simon Crown, at your service! – He took a bow and Jack showed a point of surprise on his eyes with the little creature taking a bow for him. Jack laughed softly and smiled, giving a hand to the fairy. Simon jumped to his hand and Jack took him closer to his chest.
Jack: Well… Pleasure to meet you Simon! I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. The one and only!
Simon: Pleasure to meet you Captain! – The fairy lift his head with a smile to Jack, who blinked while taking a sip of rum.
"Should I tell him about what I just heard?..." Simon thought, but when he was about to open his mouth, they heard someone screaming for Jack. Gibbs it was.
The fairy flew back and Jack immediately got up to hear what his first mate was saying.
Jack: Aye Gibbs? – Getting out of the room.
Reaching the main deck, Jack saw a lot of fairies around all of the ships. Each one had one man.
Jack: You guys, are quick! – Simon flew from behind him and got in the middle of Jack and Gibbs.
Simon: You've nooooo idea! - A yellow fairy behind Gibbs laughed and that was when Simon looked up to Gibbs and recognized him. "The fat man!" he flew back and lift his head to see who was watching over that human.
Roland, a lazy, irresponsible, fat and disgusting fairy. He was an adorable creature on earth, but his laziness and irresponsibility turned him into one of the Renegaded Fairies. This ones were a group known for don't keeping a fairies' duty on the Cologne. They used to have to live by themselves, but as the group started to grow, they started to spare some work between them. As Roland was too bad on duties, but smart on planning, Flayn, the Leader, decided to take Roland by his side. There was a small dark story about Flayn that the Master wanted to keep as a shadow on their Cologne. Simon heard of her once or twice, and now, with Roland just by his side, he smiled. In a night or two, he could get information.
Jack: What are ya all goin' to do with us, I'm wondering… – Jack exanimated the whole crews.
Simon: Wait 'til tomorrow morning Capt! -Jack turned around to inspect the sunset.
Jack: I see… - Then walked away and Simon looked to the forest.
"We are ready Master."
"Good.", the answer came into his mind.
Jack couldn't sleep in the night. He tried to drink a bottle, two bottles, he even tried the third but than he just splashed it into the ground completely pissed off.
Jack: BLODDY HELL! – The glass broke into pieces loudly. The noise made Simon wake up in a little hole from a wall in the cabin. He was sleeping quietly and covered by a sheet until Jack woke him. – This can't be! – Jack leaned on the desk. – This can't be! - He lift his head and looked to the full moon in the window. – I'm still here… That's all that I need feel for keep living… - He walked out.
Simon followed him with the eyes. "Poor guy…!" he got up and flew behind him.
Jack was walking rudely to the deck through the dark night.
Angelica was laying on the edge of the Empress, with Giselle on her shoulder. Both were almost falling asleep when a voice that was coming from the Pearl scared them up.
Both sat and looked to Pearl, worried.
Jack walked straight to the edge of the ship to look to his reflection. He was feeling himself too nervous and shaking, with his breath hard and loud. That fresh air covered by shinning starts could maybe take his thoughts away from his mind with the wind. All that Jack wanted was to get calm, focus and secure, like he always did.
Simon flew from the cabin and jumped to the edge, then walked near Jack.
Simon: Capt…
Jack: Aye? Little one… - He spoke lowly and turned his face to Simon.
Simon: What's wrong? – "Maybe he needs to talk about what I heard…"
Jack: …It's… too complicated… - He inspected the fairy. – But nothing that you should worry about... – He smiled to Simon and got straight up.
As he kept looking to the fairy, he started to see the lights from the Empress grow on his vision angle. Just by instinct he looked through the lights, and saw that familiar figure, looking to him. Suddenly he felt himself shake. Her eyes pointing to him… pressure!
The fairy was still looking to his face, but he felt his attention fall over something and followed his eyes. Immediately he saw the pink fairy looking to him. Her smooth red and curled hair falling over her thin shoulders. He shook. She was a Renegaded Fairy too! She was known for seducing and betraying other fairies in the Cologne. By looking at her directly, he knew why she was so seductive, and suddenly he didn't minded being seduced by that sweet and melting eyes. But then she moved her eyes to his Human, and Simon looked back to Jack, who was still focusing on something else. Simon looked to Giselle again and by her side he saw a woman. A beautiful woman. Looking from her to Giselle, he could see why both were together. But the woman seemed worried about his human, her eyes couldn't look away from his. "What's the matter Jack?". "It's just like they were able to communicate with the eyes…", Simon thought. "You seem worried luv…Is it because of me? You don't have to be...", Jack took a deep breath.
Simon: Capt?
Jack: Aye…? - Not moving his head.
Simon: Who is she? – Jack was quiet for a moment and slowly started to turn to the fairy. Simon was still waiting for the answer but probably Jack forgot what he asked, because he just buried his hands in the pockets and walked silently to the cabin.
A new day was announced and soon enough, the three captains sent their crews with them to the land.
Hector: So Jack… Tell me about our plan! Have you decided how will we trick her to get the sword? –Jack though a bit as he had to bent for a branch.
Jack: Still no certainties and no doubts.
Hector: So in which stage are we supposed to be now?
Jack: Just let things keep following its course, Hector! We don't need to put some evidence in our plan! - He had an idea and extended a hand towards the horizon. – Let her feel secure of our convictions... Then we'll just turn over the game in the final moment… - He evilly smiled to Hector. - In the right time, we will get our hands on it before she can be able to reach it! – Hector laughed.
Hector: A neutral attitude…! To wait for our price patiently, and whenever we see a light of it… Catch it! And proclaim it for ourselves! – He smiled to Jack. - A shrewd plan Jack! I meant to say!
Jack: I was sure that you'd like it!
Hector: And how will we get rid of her later? –Jack stopped. - And what about Liz and William? – He paused a bit to inspect Jack's expression of confusion. – They will get confused too… - Both thought for a moment. - I thought about this on last night. – Jack turned to him. – And since we've all a small chance of surviving, why not reduce hers? And make it look like…
Jack: No! – He nodded. – I don't think that's a good idea!
Hector: Why not? We would be clean of doubts and glares!
Jack: We don't have to kill her to get the sword!
Hector: So what do you suggest? – Jack thought for a moment and prepared to give an answer when Liz walked to them, coming from the front.
Liz: Why are you guys following behind? Come on! Hurry up! We've to meet up with the fairies until the mid day! – She turned around and walked quickly back to the front, disappearing between the vegetation.
Jack: Why is she so upset?
Hector: …William has… "Been busy with important matters"… - Jack lift and eyebrow. Hector nodded yes. They stared at each other for a minute, and suddenly both started to move quicker to catch the front line before Liz could get back again, this time less peaceful…
In the middle of the jungle, the master and his subjects were waiting patiently for the humans.
One fairy: Master? Are you sure that you want to do this? – The Master turned his face to the fairy, surprised for her doubts on his determination. – They are humans! They can't understand us! … And some of them got the betrayers on their side!
Master: Fujiro, Don't worry my son! That only little problem that we had is already solved! Believe me! And this is our best chance to clean up our land! – He thought a bit. – About those humans you mentioned… There's no chance that they will get through this! They would have to betray their own fairy. And that would mean… they would have to give up of their key to The Sword… - Simon heard him carefully.
Simon: So your plan is to let them go with the betrayers? –
Masters: While their friends will be hunting them… Yes! - Simon trembled. He remembered Giselle, and consequently, the woman that she was in charge. Somehow he felt even more scared. His human seemed to have a connection with that woman, so he would probably see her end. He bent his head with sadness. "It's… unfair!"- Any problem little Simon?
Simon: No sir! – He kept his emotions away.
Liz and Angelica arrived with their crew as Jack and Hector hurried up to meet them fast.
The Master got up from a rock where he was sitting and waiting for them. Angelica inspected him. "This one in the middle is bigger than the other fairies… He has got to be their Leader!"
Master: Oh… You've arrived early than I thought! - Angelica smiled softly, "This means a good start!" . A few men from Jack's and Hector's crews arrived. – Are you all here already? – He asked to one of the men and the sailor nodded yes. – Great! – He jumped to the floor. – I see that you had no problem to get in here… How many were you all when you've decided to begin this journey?
Hector: As many as we still! We've four ships, each one with different captains. One of them will never anchor in the land, and we didn't lose any of our men yet!
Master: Not a single one? – He was surprised. – Wonderful! I see that the Guardian Of The Sea was not a problem for you…! – He frowned as inspected their faces. "The Shark was a guardian? Oh-oh…" Hector felt a point of shame and took a step back. – Well I'm sorry to tell you this my gentleman, and ladies , but from now on it will be hard for you to keep all of your men together! – He inspected them as the fairies around got with their humans. Of course that the Renegaded ones were not there. – Our Cologne is having problems with some of our betrayers... –He explained. – They teamed up to bring us down! The thing is, without us, the forest will die and the creature inside the cave will break free! The forest is the one who keeps the entrance to the cave under control, besides a couple of us. If she dies, the roots that support the stone structure will break and so the cave will be vulnerable to the animalistic force of the creature caged inside. It would be no good if a Vampire run all across the ocean and start to kill all the people around the world… don't you agree? The only way to stop him for a moment would be the Sword. – Everybody agreed with the Master. – So, to prevent this to happen, we've to catch the betrayers! It won't be enough if we just keep their moves under control! No! They are too smart! They'll break free! So I'm asking you for help. I want you to get rid of this disease! It will be good for us and for you as well! You do this, and we will be kind with your destiny.
Some glares between men were exchanged for nods of agreement.
Jack: I don't see why not! – He smiled. – But why won't we be able to keep our men together?
Simon: Capt… - Simon whispered on his shoulder.
Jack: What?
Simon: You didn't understood the danger that this means... Look around! – Jack did as he said. – Not everyone has one of us around them… right?
Jack: Aye…!
Simon: It means that their souls are not meant for us… -Jack suddenly started to realize something. – Their fairies are the ones who you'll have to kill! And so those men will probably die!
Master: You won't be all together, because I see that some of you are on charge of the Renegaded ones. So some of you will have to kill your fairy and loose the chance to get the Sword… It won't be easy since they will be hunting you all around…! – Everyone looked thoughtful, until a man from Jack's crew raised his hand. – Yes?
Man: What if we don't kill her? – He swallowed in dry.
Master: Good question! - He turned to Simon. – Simon? Can you answer for me? – Simon nodded.
Angelica saw Jack's fairy flew up, to be where everybody would see him, but she moved her eyes to the Captain under the flying fairy. "Why did he had to be your fairy, Jack?... You're always too lucky…!"
Simon: If you don't kill her, she will take you with her to their clan and you'll become one of them. So the only way to get to them will be killing you... So you'll be chased by your own friends until death! – The men started to speak nervously. Some said: "We'll die in both ways!", " Oh no! I don't have my fairy in here…!", "This is madness!". Jack looked around and Simon slid down to his shoulder.
Master: So? Do you take our quest? We will help you all! – The men kept speaking.
Jack nodded and took a step forward, impatiently.
Jack: I'll take it! – Quickly Gibbs pushed him back.
Gibbs: Jack… please! – Jack turned around.
Jack: Gibbs, we have no other – The words died on his throat. He saw Gibbs almost begging him to stop. "Gibbs…? Where is your…Oh no…!", he turned back to the Master but his words were drowned by Hector's.
Hector: Aye! I accept it! Me and my crew- The men started to shake and scream. – Will complete this task for you! – He smiled to the Master, ignoring the supplications of his men.
Jack: Gibbs… - He turned back to him and both glared at each other. – Kill your fairy! I'll be covering your back from the other ones, mate! – Gibbs nodded yes.
Simon: Capt… - Jack turned to Simon. – There's another person around… That maybe you want to warn up too… - He pointed his head to Angelica, and Jack froze as saw her alone, in the shadows, with Liz holding her by a shoulder, too quiet and lonely.
Hector: Pssst! – He called Jack and moved his head to Angelica, blinking to Jack. – Our chance! – "No…"
Master: So… All of you in?
Hector: Aye! – Such a big smile ripped his face… For Jack, not even half of it!
Jack was still staring at her when their eyes meet. She realized of what he knew just by his expression.
Jack: R-u-n. – He whispered to her and she unleaded from the palm tree pondered his suggestion. She searched for somewhere to run to. Jack turned back to the Master who looked at him after Liz nodding yes. – I am!
Master: Thank you gentleman!
Hector: So… - Everyone looked to Hector who took off his sword. – I guess that we could start… - He smiled to the blade of the sword as he turned out to Angelica, without really looking or pointing to her.
Suddenly someone screamed.
Man: Aye! – He took off his sword and other men followed him and jumped on a man who started to run as fast as he could into the middle of the woods. Another few ran after them and some ran to hid too.
Jack: Gibbs! Get Down! – He stopped some swords from arming Gibbs. – STOP! – They stood. – He is on our side! – The nodded and ran after other man. Gibbs got up as Hector passed by Jack's back, running to Angelica who scared up and searched for the route that she choose to take.
Jack's face also scared up as Hector's shadow passed by him, and he screamed as saw Angelica running with Hector following back.
Jack: No, Hector! WAIT! – He run after Hector.
In somewhere else of the island, two sailors were taking "care" of a third one. One sent his sword through the man's heart as the other one spun his sword in an half circle around his body and cut an orange fairy in two.
In other place, a man ran into a tramp built up by the Renegaded Fairies .Without knowing of it's existence, he stepped into it and a net of green branches hanged him on a tree. Immediately five fairies jumped to him and the screams of the dying man were heard in the next 2 miles.
Blood splashed on the floor and men fell on it. The Renegaded fairies smiled but immediately other fairies showed up behind and sent small and sharp pieces of wood through them.
Another man run into the vegetation and fell on the ground, but immediately shot to the air and hit a fairy.
