Through the double doors of Beckett's cabin, the soldiers pushed Jack, Faye, and Carmella in. Then the doors were closed behind them. Faye looked around until Beckett's voice was heard in the corner.
"Curious…your friends appear to be quite desperate...Jack," He said as he had pulled back the curtain to look at the other ship. "Perhaps they no longer believe that a gathering of squabbling pirates can defeat The Flying Dutchman."
Both Faye and Carmella was snorting under their breath, making sure they weren't heard. Knowing all too well that their father would never do such a thing. Carmella then whispered to Faye as she watched. "Is he compensating for something?" she asked. "His intimidation skills are lacking,"
Both Faye and Jack were trying to hold in their laughter, Beckett's back was still turned to them. "And so despair leads to betrayal," Beckett continued though his face was contorted with disgrace at the snickering. As he was talking, Jack made his way over to a table and started to snoop around for the heart for Jones. Faye and Carmella were now following in his footsteps. Faye opening a few jars, and Carmella was opening a few small boxes.
"But you and I are no strangers to betrayal….are we," Beckett asked as Jack looked at the branded P on his arm right above the scarf that is wrapped around his wrist. He then turned around as he watched Jack close a box. 'It's not here Jack." He said coolly before looking at the two girls who stopped their searching. Jack instinctively got in front of Faye and Carmella, not wanting him to do anything for them.
"What?" He asked defensively. "What isn't?"
"The heart of Davy Jones. It's safely aboard the Dutchman and so unavailable for use of leverage to satisfy your debt with the good captain." Both Faye and Carmella let out a small sigh of relief as they found out the information. "But…." He began as he pushed his way past Jack to look at the two girls. "They can be." He said as he tried to touch Carmella's hair but she hissed at him, showing off her sharpened canines. Faye being protective over her sister, she slapped his hand away.
"Don't you dare touch her," Faye growled as she protectively stood in front of the younger girl. Her blue eyes were shining fiercely. Beckett raised a brow at the two girls reaction. Though he looked upon Faye with interest
"I hear you two are apprentices to that…..witch...Tia Dalma."
"She's not a witch," Carmella snapped back as she folded her arms. "She's a Voodoo Lady,"
"Ahh...is that how you acquired your powers?" Beckett asked with a raised brow and a sickly smirk.
"Why the bloody hell would we tell you?" Carmella growled as the waves started to get riled up. The wind was also reacting as it slammed against the side of the ship they were in.
Faye was going to say something when Jack interfered. 'They will not be a part of any deal."
"Ah Jack, you really do take the role of Godfather seriously," Beckett said in a sickly sweet tone before dropping the conversation.
"And by my reckoning, that account has been settled," Jack said as he started to lead the girls away from Beckett and behind him as the conversation between him and Beckett continued.
"By your death…..and yet here you are," Beckett said with a mutter as he had an annoyed smirk on his face.
"Close your eyes, and pretend it's all a bad dream," Carmella piped up from behind Jack as he started to grab a few things around the room. He then started to play with them.
"That's how I get by," Jack piped up as he was now by the portrait of Beckett. A smile was flashed at the girls.
"And if Davy Jones were to know of your survival….." Beckett asked with a raised brow.
"SHIP HO!" A voice rang out over the water. On the Black Pearl, Barbossa and everyone else were captives by the East India Trading Company
"My men are crew enough," Sao Feng said to Mercer as he boarded the ship. Barbossa was standing near by.
"Company ship, company crew," Was all Mercer said before Will comes up to Sao Feng's side.
"You agreed the Black Pearl was to be mine," Will said to Sao as Elizabeth came to the side of Will. What none of them knew, except for Tia and the girls, was that Bootstrap Bill had left the ship to go back to Jones, since his job was done.
Sao held his head high. "And so it was," He then signals for his second in command to restrain him.
Beckett was now fiddling with four glasses of alcohol. He grabs the two of the darkest color before bringing one over to Jack. "Perhaps you'll consider an alternative arrangement." His eye flicking to Faye for a bit, taking her figure before his eye went back to Jack. "One that requires absolutely nothing from you, but information."
Jack turned his attention to the map nearby, where soldiers were aligned and coins were behind them. Nine pieces of silver in total. Nine pieces of Eight. The coins seem to give off a song as Jack plucked the small glass from Beckett's hand. Both Carmella and Faye heard the song of the coins, it sounded just like the one that the boy had dropped, back at Port Royal.
"Regarding the Brethren Court no doubt," Jack said before he grabbed the other glass that Beckett was holding before gulping one down quickly. "In exchange for fair compensation. Square my debt with Jones…" He said before taking another sip. "Guarantee my freedom."
"Of course," Beckett said as he poured another few glasses. "Just good business." Jack then picked up a soldier.
"And I, if I was in a divulgatory mood. What then might I divulge?" He asked as he stared at the soldier, who looked like Beckett. Beckett was looking over to watch him, his face unamused. Faye and Carmella were watching and their hands were clenched.
"Everything" Beckett whispered as he leaned in closer. "Where are they meeting? Who are the pirate lords? What is the purpose of the Pieces of Eight?"
Both Will and Elizabeth were tied up as Mercer was on his way off the ship again. Though he was stopped as Sao Feng grabbed his shoulder and wheeled him back. "Beckett agreed," Sao hissed. "The Black Pearl was to be mine!"
"Lord Beckett would not give up the only ship that can outrun The Dutchman," Mercer hissed. "Is he."
Sao's face was twitching in anger as Mercer got out of his grip and off the ship. Barbossa then talked. "Shame they're not bound to honor the code of the brethren. Isn't it?. Because Honour is a hard thing to come by nowadays."
"There is no honor to remain on the losing side. Leaving for the winning side is just good business." Sao countered as they whispered.
"But the losing side you say," Barbossa whispered. 'Have the Dutchman."
"Now the Pearl!" Sao snapped. "And those girls! And what do the Brethren have?"
"We have...Calypso," Barbossa whispered to Sao. "And the girls will be back soon. They have Jack with them."Sao's face contorted with confusion before he looked over to Elizabeth and gave a weird smile. Barbossa then looked back over to Tia who was standing beside Elizabeth. She was trying to calm the two Singaporean guards who were freaking out about not being with the two girls they swore to protect.
"An old legend?" Sao asked.
"No…" Barbossa responded. "The Goddess herself, bound in human form. Imagine all the power of the Sea brought together to bear against our enemies. I intend to release her, and for that I need the Brethren Court." He said before reaching to Sao's necklace and held it up. "ALL the court."
Jack was now fanning himself with a handheld woman's fan. "You keep Barbossa, the belligerent homunculus and his friend with the wooden eye." He said as he made his way towards Beckett as he closed the fan. "And Turner and Miss Swann. Especially those two. The rest go with me aboard The Pearl and I'll lead you to Shipwreck Cove. Where I"ll hand you the pirates and you will not hand me to Jones. Bloody fair don't you think?" He asked before opening the fan again and starting to fan himself once more.
Carmella went up to Jack and swiped the fan out of his hands. "Could you please stop that," She asked as the fan was open. She then started to fan herself as she felt the warmth of the quarters.
"And what of the girls?" Beckett asked as he played with a soldier and turned his head to look at the two girls who came to Jack's side.
"What interest are they to you?" Jack asked as the girls stayed quiet.
Beckett smirked as he gave him a disbelieving look as to why he asked.
Sao then smirked. "What are you proposing Captain?" He asked.
"What ye be accepting?" Barbossa asked. "Captain."
"The girl," Was all Sao said as he looked at Elizabeth. Elizabeth gave him a 'what' face.
"What?" Elizabeth asked in disbelief.
"And the two witch girls." Sao continued. Su, Mei, Tia, and Barbossa all looked at him in anger.
"Those two are NOT part of the deal, sides they are not even here." Barbossa countered.
"Then I guess I'll just let it go," Sao said as he looked at Elizabeth once more. "The girl is all I need."
"Jack," Beckett said as he dropped the soldier and got up. "I just recalled, I've got this wonderful compass, which points to whatever I want. So for what do I need you?" He asked Jack just stands with his back to Beckett.
"Elizabeth is not part of any bargain!" Will said defensively.
"Out of the question," Barbossa countered but there is no feeling in his words.
"It was not a question," Sao said.
"Point to the thing that you want most and that is not the Brethren Court, is it?" Jack asked.
Beckett then raised a brow. "Then what is it Jack?" He asked as his eyes flicked towards Faye and Carmella once more before they settled back on Jack when he answered.
"Me," Jack said with a sort of a goofy smile before he got serious. "Dead, and you want the girls."
"Done," Elizabeth said sternly.
Will then looked at Elizabeth in confusion. "Not done!"
"You got us into this mess and if this what frees us, then done," Elizabeth explained in a hiss.
"Damn," Beckett whispered as he threw Jack the compass. As Carmella threw the fan back at him. "Although…." He began as he started to fan himself. "If I kill you, then I can have the girls and I get to use the compass to find your Shipwreck Cove, is it? On my own." He then pointed a gun at Jack. "Cut out the middleman as it were."
"Elizabeth," Will said as he got in front of Elizabeth. "They're pirates." He whispered.
Elizabeth then snarled a bit. "I have more than enough experience dealing with pirates," She said before pushing him out of the way.
Barbossa then leaned in. "Then we have an accord?" He asked as Sao gave a humble smirk.
"With me killed and you'd arrive at the cove to find it a strong hold nigh impregnable. Able to withstand a blockade for years and then you be wishing OH if there was only someone who I not killed inside to ensure that the pirates then come outside." Jack said as he faced Beckett and the gun.
"And you can ensure this?" Beckett asked.
"You may kill me, but you may never insult me," Jack said. "Who am I?" He asked with his arms out wide.
Beckett's face then contorted to that of confusion.
"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow," Jack replied simply before a cannon had hit the side of Beckett's ship and knocked over everything and made Beckett unstable. Jack then quickly shook his hand. "Deal," He then ran off as he grabbed the girls and left.
They made it up to the deck and walked calmly about. Beckett then came out to see Sao Feng sail away. Many men aboard Beckett's ship was fighting as Mercer jumped off and over the side of the ship.
Jack then hooked a cannon to a piece of rope and threw it over the sail bar. Carmella was holding onto him as Faye made her way to the edge of the ship. Beckett just watched as the scene unfolded. Carmella had put the small figurine of Beckett into the cannon before Jack was trying to light the fuse.
"You're mad," Was all Beckett said as the fuse was lit.
"Thank goodness for that. If I wasn't this would never work," He said as he lit the cannon, making it go off and propelling him and Carmella over to the Black Pearl as Faye flew over on the winds she created. "And that is without a single drop of rum," Jack said as he looked over the ship and its crew. Carmella was holding onto him a bit as he steadied himself while Faye was sitting on top of the of the girls were laughing their heads off.
"Can we do that again sometime?" Carmella asked with a grin.
Jack then thought about it before giving a shrug. "Maybe later," He said as both the girls hopped off from their perch. Tia ran over to them followed by Mei and Su. All of them were worried about them.
Barbossa just gave an annoyed look before he put his sword back into its sheath and walked away. Jack then jumped down and walked over to Will. Pintel and Ragetti both put their hands on his shoulder and restrained him. Carmella and Faye were watching from afar, their arms folded and the look of annoyance was in their eyes along with disappointment.
"Send this pestilent, traitorous, cow-hearted easty copus to the brig," Jack whispered.
"Which ship do we follow?" Asked a soldier of Beckett's ship as he hung onto the ropes behind his captain.
"Signal the Dutchman, to track down Sao Feng. We follow the Pearl. How soon can we have the ship ready to pursue?" Beckett asked without looking over his shoulder. From behind, the main mast was starting to creak before it fell over and into the water.
"Do you think he plans it all out or just makes it up as he goes along?" Asked the soldier before Beckett turned to him with no answer but a look of disgust before the soldier then left to do his duties. Beckett then watched as the Pearl sailed away.
