In The Lanes Between
Sora, Riku and Kairi were riding their gliders to the next world on their journey.
"Now the Organization has a Princess of Heart it looks like Master Xehanort is one step ahead of us." Kairi said.
"Master Xehanort might be ahead of us at the moment. But the important thing is who's going to win and it won't be him." Riku said.
"Well guy is looks like we're about to enter another world." Sora said.
Riku and Kairi looked ahead and saw what looked like world covered in water with a few islands in places and a pirate ships floating around.
"What world is this?" Kairi asked.
"It's Port Royal." Sora said.
"Is that the World crawling with pirates?" Riku asked.
"Which means it's a perfect place to find Vessel of Darkness." Sora said.
"It's worth checking out." Kairi said.
Port Royal: Tortuga
They soon landed in an alleyway and once the exited they saw tons of people some of them pirates which most were drunk.
"Nice place." Kairi joked.
"If a Vessel of Darkness is here it'll be like finding a needle in a haystack." Riku said.
"Sora is that you?" A voice said.
They turned around and saw guy with blond hair and brown eyes wearing a white shirt, brown vest, black pants, across the chest belt with buckle, boot covers and pirate hat.
"Sorry do I know you?" Sora asked confused.
"Last time you saw he I was in a different outfit." The guy said.
"Elizabeth!" Sora said.
"Yes it's me but where are Donald and Goofy and who are they?" Elizabeth asked.
"Oh Donald and Goofy are on another mission and there my friends Riku and Kairi." Sora said.
"Nice to meet you I'm Elizabeth Swan." Elizabeth said.
"Yeah but is there any reason your dressed as a guy." Riku asked.
"It's easier to move ship from ship if you're dressed up as one of the crew." Elizabeth said.
"But why do you need to move ship to ship and is Will around?" Sora asked.
"Will is the reason I'm here." Elizabeth said in a sad tone.
"Elizabeth there you are." A voice said. They looked around and saw a guy with white hair wearing a filthy, tattered commodore uniform and was covered in what looked like pig poo. "Who are they?"
"This is Sora and his friends. He helped Will and Jack to defeat Barbossa." Elizabeth said.
"Great another pirate." The Guy muttered.
"I'm not pirate and who are you anyway?" Sora asked.
"I'm James Norrington a former Commodore of the Royal Navy." Norrington said.
"Anyway back to Sora's first question where is this Will person?" Kairi asked.
"I don't unknown you see on the day we've going to get married we've arrested by Lord Cutler Beckett a manmade wealthy and powerful by profits from the East India Trading Company. Beckett threatens to execute me and Will for aiding Jack escape but offers clemency if Will can find Sparrow's compass." Elizabeth explained.
"What does he want with Jack's compass?" Sora asked.
"I didn't know but he is here just ask James." Elizabeth said.
"Then let's find him." Riku said.
Moments later they entered the docks and saw Jack who pirate hat was missing and a few pirates about to hop on to the Black Pearl.
"Captain Jack Sparrow!" Sora said.
"Come to join my crew lad welcome aboard." Jack said.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten me after I helped you recapture the Black Pearl." Sora said Jack stopped and turned around.
"Oh Sora nice to see you again lad this is my first mate Mister Gibbs." Jack said pointing at the man next to him. Then he saw Sora was with others. "Who would your friends be?"
"There Riku and Kairi and these two you know." Sora said. Jack looked had at Elizabeth took a few seconds to recognise her.
"Elizabeth!" Jack said and turned to Gibbs. "Hide the rum. You know these cloths don't flatter with you at all it should be a dress or nothing. I happen to have no dress in me cabinet."
"Not very subtle is he." Kairi said.
"You'll get used to it." Elizabeth said. Then she turned to face Jack. "Jack I know Will came to find you where is he?"
"Darling I'm truly unhappy to tell you this but through an unfortunate and entirely unforeseen series of circumstance that have nothing what so ever to do with me. Poor Will has been press ganged into Davy Jones crew." Jack said.
"Davy Jones?" Kairi asked confused.
"Oh please the captain of the Flying Dutchman." Norrington said after puking over the docks.
"You look blood awful what are you doing here?" Jack asked.
"You hired me I can't help it if your standards are lax." Norrington said.
"You smell funny." Jack said.
"Jack!" Elizabeth said breaking the argument. Jack then turned to face her. "All I want is to find Will."
"The same goes for us." Sora said.
But Riku and Kairi looked at other shaking their heads. Jack looked like he was about to dismiss her but then he had a thought.
"Are you certain? Is that what you revile what most?" Jack asked.
"Of course." Elizabeth said.
"Will's a friend and we'll do anything to help." Sora said.
"Because I would think you would what to save Will most." Jack said. They looked at him confused.
"And you would have a way of doing that?" Elizabeth said.
"Well there is a chest a chest of unknown size and origin that holds the still beating heart of Davy Jones and whoever poses that chest poses the leverage to command Jones to do whatever he or she wants including saving brave William from his grim fate. Now normally I would have to get the key first to open the chest but with that fancy key of Sora's we won't need it." Jack said.
"You two don't actually believe him do you?" Norrington said.
"Well it is possible to remove your heart and place it in something or someone I had to do it once." Kairi said. Then Jack, Elizabeth and Norrington looked at her with weird looks on their faces. "It's a long story."
"Who would we find it?" Elizabeth asked.
"With this." Jack said pulling out his compass. "My compass is unique."
"Unique meaning broken." Norrington said.
"True this compass doesn't point north but it points to the think you want most in this world and what you want most in this world is to find the chest of Davy Jones." Jack said handing her the compass.
"To save Will." Elizabeth said.
"By finding the chest of Davy Jones." Jack said.
He then opened the compass and walked away. Elizabeth looked at the compass and then suddenly it pointed north east. Jack then looked at where the compass was pointing to.
"Mister Gibbs!" Jack said.
"Captain!" Gibbs said.
"We have are heading." Jack said.
"Finally cast out those lines way anchor and set sail." Gibbs ordered.
"Do you think this is wise?" Kairi asked as the boarded the ship.
"I don't know with Jack but Will a friend we need to save him I've way." Sora said.
"Besides this chest would be what we are looking for." Riku said.
Port Royal: The Black Pearl
The next morning they were still sailing towards who knows where. Sora, Riku, Kairi, Jack, Elizabeth and Gibbs were on the main deck talking and looking at a logo. It had three cross join together at the centre and with the letter E on the left, the letter I on the right and the letters Co at the bottom.
"Beckett!" Gibbs said.
"Yes their sign Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company." Elizabeth said.
"Will was working for Beckett and never said a word." Gibbs said.
"But why would he what Jack's compass?" Sora asked.
"Only one reason." Gibbs said.
"Of course he what's the chest." Jack said.
"Yes he did say something about a chest." Elizabeth said.
"If the company controls the chest they control the sea." Gibbs said.
"And this world is almost covered in the sea." Riku said.
"He would control the world." Kairi said.
"The question remains why are you three here?" Jack asked.
"You know the Organization you helped me, Donald and Goofy to take down. Well it was a cover up for the real Organization." Sora said.
"Now that you mention it before I had a talk with Beckett he was talking to a guy in a black coat." Elizabeth said.
"Did you see his face?" Riku asked.
"No it was covered in a hood. But his voice did sound familiar." Elizabeth said.
"You're saying that there an Organization controlling the Organization that is weird." Jack said.
"Your one to talk." Riku muttered.
"Anyway the real Organization is looking for thirteen items of dark power and if they get their hands on them they can change the fate of this world." Sora said.
"And you think the chest is one of these items of power?" Gibbs said.
"We don't know but we had to check on it." Sora said.
"Well lads and lass it looks like are goals are the same." Jack said.
"In that case I think a bit more speed is needed in these sails." Gibbs said walking away.
"I'll think that I'll keep a look out encase trouble finds us." Kairi said heading up to the crow's nest.
"Riku you better go with her with all of these pirates around." Sora said. Riku nodded knowing what Sora was talking about and followed Kairi.
"So Sora you never introduce me to for friends and never mention what happened to the other members of your crew." Jack said.
"Donald and Goofy are way on another mission of importunes and they are my best friends Riku and Kairi." Sora said.
"Looks like Will aren't the only one with a bonny lass." Jack said.
"We're just friends." Sora said.
"Keep telling yourself that lad." Jack said walking towards the wheel.
Port Royal: Isla Cruces
Soon they reached the Isla Cruces Sora, Riku, Kairi, Jack, Elizabeth and Norrington landed on a long boat. Once they landed they grabbed some shovels and started to follow Elizabeth. After a little while she started to pace up and down.
"It doesn't work and it certainly doesn't show what you want most." Elizabeth said sitting down on the sand. Jack then walked up to the compass and saw it was pointing right where Elizabeth was sitting.
"Yes it does your sitting on it." Jack said.
Elizabeth then moved and Sora, Riku and Norrington started to dig. It took a while but they then hit something. They then brushed some sand off it and saw a chest they then lifted it out of the hole and broke the lock and opened it. They saw some old letters and a chest they lifted it out and pressed their ears against it and hear a heartbeat.
"You we're actually telling the truth." Norrington said.
"I do that quit a lot yet people are always surprised." Jack said.
"With good reason." A voice said. They turned around and saw Will soaking wet standing there.
"Will!" Elizabeth said in shock and ran over to him and gave him a hug and kissed him. "You're alright thank god."
"How did you get here?" Jack asked.
"Sea turtles mate strapped a pair of them to my feet." Will said.
"Not so easy is it." Jack said.
"I see you bumped it to Sora." Will said.
"Nice to see you again this is Riku and Kairi." Sora said.
"Nice to meet you." Will said.
"Well now we had a meet and greet who about we let Sora open the chest." Jack said.
"Actually that won't be necessary. Oh and I haven't said thanks Jack." Will said.
"You do?" Jack asked confused.
"After you tricked me into that ship to square your debt with Jones." Will said.
"What!" Elizabeth said.
"Why am I not surprised." Sora said rolling his eyes.
"I was reunited with my father." Will said.
"Oh well your welcome then." Jack said.
"Well at least this explains why you wanted my Keyblade." Sora said.
"I always have a reason for my methods." Jack said.
"As do I." Will said kneeling to the chest holding a knife.
"What are you doing?" Jack asked.
"I'm going to kill Jones." Will said pulling out a key. Jack then pulled out his sword.
"Can't let you do that William cause if Jones is dead who's to call his terrible beast off the hunt aw." Jack said.
"What beast is this a Heartless?" Sora asked.
"Don't know mate but what I know is that the Kraken is commanded by Jones and it lives to prey those who had been marked with a Black Spot and send them to the locker." Jack said. Will then slowly got up and stood next to Elizabeth. "Now if you please the key." Will then grabbed Elizabeth's sword and pointed it at Jack.
"I keep the promise I make Jack. I intend to free my father I hope you're here to see it?" Will said. Norrington then pulled his sword out and pointed it at Will.
"I can't let you do that either so sorry." Norrington said.
"I knew you would warm up to me adventuring." Jack said. James then pointed his sword at Jack and Will pointed his at Norrington and Jack pointed his at Will.
"Lord Beckett desirers the contents of that chest I deliver it I get me life back." Norrington said.
"The dark side of ambition." Jack said.
"Oh I prefer to see it redemption." Norrington said.
Then the three of them started to fight with one another. Elizabeth tried to stop them as Sora, Riku and Kairi watched the fight.
"Okay I'm lost whose fighting for what?" Sora asked.
"Well each one wants the chest for himself. James is trying to regain some honour, Jack wants it to blackmail Jones and Will wants to free his father." Riku explained.
"And we've got other problems." Kairi said pointing behind them.
They turned around and saw tons of guys with various aquatic features heading towards them holding different types of weapons.
"They must be Jones crew." Riku said.
"This day just gets better and better." Sora said as they summoned their Keyblades. Sora then turned around to find Jack, Will and James had disappeared. "Good help is hard to find present company expected of course."
"Never mind them we got to stop them before they get the chest." Riku said.
The three of them charged at Jones crew. Kairi kicked on of them and slammed her Keyblade into another. Sora blocked an axe that was heading in Kairi's direction and hit one of the crew members with the hit of his Keyblade. Riku rammed into a crew member that was about to hit Sora with his sword and kneed him in the chest. Elizabeth who had taken a sword from a fallen crew member had started fencing with another crew member.
As they were fighting none of them saw Jack who managed to get away from Will and Norrington and was holding the key sneaking around. He walked to the chest and placed the key in the lock and opened it. Jack looked in it saw Jones's heart that was covered in darkness. He then pulled it out and placed it in his pocket. He then ran to the long boat took a canister full of earth and placed the heart in it.
Then a member of Jones's crew attacked. Jack quickly pulled his sword out and started to fence with him. Heading towards them was Sora, Riku, Kairi and Elizabeth fighting the members of Jones's crew and carrying the chest and placed it in the long boat. Then a water wheel rolled placed and flattened a few the members of Jones's crew. Then Will and Norrington who were very dizzy crawled out of the wheel they saw the fight that was going on and went to help. In the middle of the fight Norrington noticed that there was some earth in the boat and saw the canister.
"They're not going to give up are they?" Kairi said blocking a attack.
"Not as long as we have the chest." Norrington said picking the chest up.
"What are you doing?" Elizabeth asked.
"Giving you a chance." Norrington said and ran off. The members of Jones's crew then quickly went after him.
"I say we respect his final wish." Jack said.
"You mean after all that and they get his heart." Sora said as they entered the long boat.
"Don't worry mate I've still got a trick up my sleeve." Jack said.
Port Royal: The Black Pearl
A few moments later they were aboard the pearl and about to sail off.
"Where's the Commodore?" Gibbs asked.
"Fell behind." Jack said.
"My prayers be with him." Gibbs said closing his eyes. Then he quickly smiled. "Best not wallow in our grief. The bright side is your back and made it off free and clear."
Then suddenly a ship came out of the sea. The vessel's hull appears to be constructed entirely from driftwood with every surface encrusted with barnacles and other aquatic flora and fauna from the sea bed. The Dutchman's cannons emerged from ports on either side of the ship. The ports were carved into the hull and took the forms of sea demons with wide gaping mouths. The prow of the ship resembled a fanged mouth and featured a carved figurehead resembling the grim reaper and his scythe.
On the quarter deck stood someone that Sora guessed was Davy Jones. Like his crew Davy Jones's body was mixed with various aquatic fauna he has a tentacle like beard and a claw for his left arm and the right leg of a crab and a long tentacle-like index finger on his right hand.
"Let me guess that's Davy Jones." Sora said.
"Aye!" Gibbs said in a worried voice.
"Please remind me what the bright side was?" Kairi asked.
"Don't worry I'll handle this lass." Jack said. He then walked up and held the canister into the air. "Hey fish face look what I've got."
"Is he trying to bribe the rule of the sea with a jar of dirt?" Kairi whispered to Sora.
"I did tell you he was a bit mad." Sora said.
"A bit that's the understatement of the year." Riku said. Then the cannon ports opened and the cannons appeared aiming at them.
"Turn to starboard." Jack ordered.
"Turn to starboard." Elizabeth yelled.
"Turn to starboard." Sora yelled.
They then started to turn away from the ship. The Flying Dutchman then fired at them blasting through Jack's cabin. Kairi looked back at the Flying Dutchman which was following them. But then ports out in its bow to revile two triple cannons aiming at them.
"Incoming!" Kairi yelled.
Then the Flying Dutchman fired at them. A few of the hits hit the Pearl and a few pirates. But slowly they were getting away from the Dutchman.
"She's falling behind." Elizabeth said looking back.
"Aye we've got her." Gibbs said.
"We're faster?" Will said confused.
"Against the wind the Dutchman beats us. That how she takes her prey. But with the wind-." Gibbs explained.
"We rob her of her advantage." Will finished.
"What worries me is what Jones is going to do next." Riku said. They then noticed that the Dutchman had stopped and everyone was cheering.
"Looks like he gave up." Sora said.
"My father is on that ship if we can out run her we can take her." Will said to Jack.
"Why fight when you can negotiate. All I need is the proper leverage." Jack said as he put the jar down.
Suddenly the ship shuck and everyone fell over. Jack looked down at the jar and saw the Jones's heart wasn't in there.
"Where's the heart." Jack said.
"I bet my Keyblade that Norrington has it." Sora said.
"But what did we hit a reef?" Kairi asked.
"No it's not a reef it's the Kraken." Will said.
"Then let's get ready." Sora said summoning his Keyblade.
Riku and Kairi copied him and moved to the edge of the ship. Then suddenly a giant octopus appeared out of the water.
"Do you think you can take it down?" Elizabeth asked.
"Don't worry with Jack's help this shouldn't be a problem." Sora said.
"The only problem is Jack isn't here." Riku said. Everyone looked around to see Jack had vanished and one of the long boats was missing.
"Why I'm I not surprised." Will said shaking his head.
"Well we don't have a choice we have to fight." Kairi said.
"Right we'll distract it while you get ready the cannons." Sora said.
"Aye just say the word and we'll do the rest." Gibbs said.
Sora, Riku and Kairi then jumped off the Pearl. As soon as they did the Kraken fired its tentacles at them. They dodged and started to skate on its tentacles firing Firage and Blizzardaga magic at it. Once they reached its head they jumped off and summoned their Keyblade Gliders.
"Fire now." Sora yelled.
Then the Pearl's cannons fired shooting the creature. When the smoke cleared they saw nothing. Sora, Riku and Kairi landed back on the Pearl.
"Did we get it?" Elizabeth asked.
Then suddenly ton of tentacles appeared out of the water and slammed into the Pearls hull destroying the cannons. Then it slowly got up and pulled it self onto the ship showing in the centre of the body a giant mouth with tons of fangs sticking out.
"Does that answer your question?" A voice said.
Everyone turned around to find Jack getting off the long boat. Elizabeth walked up to him Jack thought she was going to kiss him but she slapped him instead.
"I believe I deserve that." Jack said after getting over the shock.
"Where did you come back." Elizabeth said looking like she was going to slap him again.
"Well just as I was sailing away it hit me no matter what I do I couldn't escape my fate." Jack said.
"Or your conscience just kept on nagging at you until you gave up." Will said.
"That as well now you lot better get out of here it wants me not you lot." Jack said.
"Are you sure you're Captain Jack Sparrow?" Sora asked.
"That's a question I'm been asking myself now get going if I'm going I'm taking this beast down with me." Jack said.
Everyone then ran to the long boats. A few moments later everyone was in the long boats looking at the Pearl. Suddenly the Pearl exploded.
"He may have been pirate but he died in honour." Riku said.
Port Royal: Port Royal Beckett's office
Sitting at his desk was a man in a dark coloured elegant coat, tall black boots and a powdered wig. Also he was wearing a bicorne hat and an Inverness cape. A Guard entered the room.
"Lord Beckett the last of our ships has returned." The guard said.
"Any news on the chest?" Beckett asked.
"One ship did pick up a man at drift at sea he said he's got information for you." The guard said. Then Norrington entered the room.
"What's this information you want to share?" Beckett asked. Norrington then pulled out a bag and placed it on his desk and it started to move up and down.
"I've required the heart of Davy Jones." Norrington said.
"I told you and the Organization working together was a smart business move." A voice said. Norrington turned around and saw a guy in a black coat standing in the corner of the room.
"I take it this is a member of this Organization I heard so much about." Norrington said.
"Indeed he told me about the heart of Davy Jones and Jack Sparrow's compass." Beckett said.
"And as part of your agreement you will give me the key to the chest." The guy said.
"Indeed but I would like to know your name first." Beckett said. The guy then pulled his hood down to revile that he was Luxord only with yellow eyes and pointed ears.
"My name is Rolud." Rolud said.
Port Royal: Pantano River
Meanwhile Sora and the gang were miles away in a shack. All of they think about what had happened older woman with dark skin and dark hair in dreadlocks by the name of Tia Dalma was giving them something to drink.
"The world seems a bit less bright with Jack gone." Gibbs said.
"Yeah and by know Beckett and the Organization have got what they wanted." Riku said.
"If there was a way to bring him back." Elizabeth said.
"Would you do it and would you do what would any of you willing to do. Would you sail to the ends of this World and beyond to fetch back witty Jack and his Precious Pearl?" Tia Dalma asked.
"Aye!" Gibbs said.
"Aye!" Elizabeth said.
"Aye!" Will said.
"So would I." Sora said.
"I'm afraid you can't you three are from another World and cannot enter at Davy Jones Locker." Tia Dalma said.
"Then the best thing to do is to continue our journey." Riku said.
"As for the rest of you want to make it to Worlds End you need a captain who knows those waters." Tia Dalma said. Then everyone heard foot steppes and to their surprise they saw walking down the stairs was Barbossa.
"So tell me what's become of my ship?" Barbossa asked.
"That's impossible you're supposed to be dead." Will said.
"After seeing so many things of my journey you soon find nothing is impossible." Sora said.
"Indeed lad and now I have a second chance at life and I'm not going to use it by working with two-timer Pete." Barbossa said.
"Ever way we better get going but while be back." Sora said.
They three of them walked outside and summoned their armour then their gliders and flew into the sky and into a portal.
