On board the Flying Dutchman, the door to the cell opened and Norrington was standing there. "Come with me," He began. Elizabeth and her crew stared at him blankly. After a few minutes, he just sighed, "Quickly.' Elizabeth looked at him before signaling her second in command to go ahead first.
Elizabeth then stepped forward and asked quietly, 'What are you doing?"
"Choosing a side," He said simply.
She then nodded before Norrington showed them how to get to the back of the boat unnoticed. Elizabeth and her crew were now shuffling across the small ledge that barely hung over the water. Their movements were slow and steady but they found it successful. Soon they reached the back of the boat where they made their way across the ropes to their ship. Before Elizabeth could go across the rope, Norrington tried to warn her.
"Do not go to Shipwreck Cove. Beckett knows of the meeting of the Brethren. I believe there is a traitor among you." Norrington said.
"It's too late to earn my forgiveness," Elizabeth said as she walked up to him.
"I had nothing to do with your father's death, that doesn't absolve me of my other sins," Norrington replied as he looked over to the other boat.
Elizabeth thought about this for a few minutes before saying, "come with us…..James come with me," She said as she looked back at him.
"Well, well, well, look what we have here?" Came a voice from the shadows.
The sudden voice caught Norrington off guard and he quickly drew his blade. He couldn't speak as his fear was creeping up on him. Elizabeth was looking behind him suspiciously. Not sure to whether trust Davy Jones or not. Out from the shadows came Davy Jones and most of his crew. A smirk on his face. Before Davy Jones could speak another word, Norrington pointed his blade at him.
Davy Jones raised a brow in amusement before using his crab-claw to rip the sword out of his hands. "Nice sword," he said in amusement before looking back at the scared man. He then looked at Elizabeth before pointing to her ship. "You two better go to your ship before Beckett's men find you."
Norrington looked bewildered at the comment. Elizabeth then piped up out of curiosity. "Why are you helping us?"
"My daughters need as many allies as they can get, so there be no point in me keeping you here. Their safety is my top- priority."
Elizabeth barely nodded before she grabbed onto Norrington's arm. "James, let's go."
"Daughters?"James asked as they were now heading towards her boat through the rope.
Elizabeth just huffed as they continued along the rope. "It's a long story," She huffed, 'And I don't think that right now is the best time to talk about this," She hissed.
James then went silent until they finally made their way to the other boat. When they were safely across, Davy turned to Bootstrap and said, "Mr. Turner, the ropes." With that, he walked away. Bootstrap then cut the ropes and it made a splash.
It wasn't long until there was a battle raging on the deck of the ship. Since there was no one in charge sent to be in charge from Beckett. Davy Jones decided to take back his ship, all the while keeping his ruthless act on parade. Davy was making his way to his cabin as the fighting was around him. He and a few of his other men slipped into the room, only to find that Beckett's right-hand man was standing inside with the key to the chest that held his heart. Other men were stationed around the small chest with cannons pointed at it.
"The Dutchman is now under my command," Mercer said with a straight face. He then clenched the key to make a point.
Davy scrunched up his face in disgust. "For now," he muttered. He then turned around and walked back out.
Meanwhile, on the Black Pearl, they're arriving at Shipwreck Cove.
"Look alive and keep a weathered eye!" Shouted Gibbs as he came towards the side of the boat, where most of the crew were looking. "Not for naught, it's called Shipwreck Island where lies Shipwreck Cove and the town of Shipwreck."
Pintel then yelled, "You heard him! Step lively!" Then as he finished, the crew went back to work. All except for Carmella and Faye, they were sitting on the railing. Faye turned to look as Jack and Gibbs walking nearby.
"You know for all that pirates are cleverly called we are not an imaginative lot when it comes to naming things," Jack said as they came towards the girls.
Gibbs nodded, "Aye,"
"I once sailed with a geezer who lost both of his arms and part of his eye," Jack continued.
"What'd you call him?" Gibbs asked.
"Larry," Jack said with a wrinkle of his nose. Soon there was a couple of outbursts of laughter from behind them. Carmella and Faye were holding onto the railing and to each other, trying not to fall off the boat. Su and Mei were amused as they stood nearby to make sure that they didn't fall off. When they stopped, Faye spotted Barbossa coming towards Tia Dalma.
"We better go make sure nothing happens,' Carmella said to Faye as they both headed towards the two. Su and Mei following behind them.
"I did not renounce a bargain when struck, but we agreed on the ends only. The means are mine to decide," Barbossa said as he tried to lovingly stroke her hair. She quickly grabbed his arm and pushed it slightly away, her eyes narrowed a bit in suspicion.
"Caution Barbossa, do not forget that it was by MY power that you returned from the dead or what it means if you fail me," She said before turning his hand to bone a bit before returning it back to its normal shape. "My daughters need all the protection they can get," She then shoved him away before walking away.
Barbossa then followed after her and grabbed her arm ."That is not what I meant at all," he started as he made her look at him. "Those girls mean as much to me as you are…..Calypso." He then licked his lips a bit and slightly releases the pressure he had on her arm before continuing. "Just as much as….I want to see you released," he whispered gently.
Faye quickly stopped her sister as they heard the small conversation. 'We should go," She said gently before trying to make her way back down the stairs. Carmella nodded and was following when she accidentally stepped on a loose board and made a loud creaking sound. Loud enough to get the attention of the two that they walked in on.
Carmella bit her lip, " Uh….. Sorry, we uh...we're gonna go," She said and quickly went down the steps with Faye following behind her. Mei and Su just blinked as they saw the girls come down the steps quickly and they wondered what happened.
Beckett's crew were hauling dead bodies to one side of the ship in the dead of night. Davy Jones had arrived on the ship and was making his way to Beckett's cabin. Inside, Beckett was having a nice cup of tea with someone.
Davy Jones pushed through the door, "I cannot be summoned like some mongrel PUP," He hissed as he glared at the man.
"Apparently you can," Beckett replied calmly before he started to stir his tea. "I believe you know each other," He continued as motioned to his guest.
Will Turner than turned around in his chair and acknowledges him. He then gave a cheerless laugh.
"Come to join my crew?" Davy asked, "Again? Master Turner?" He asked him.
"Not yours…..his," Will said as he nodded his head to Beckett. He then began to test him. "Jack Sparrow sends his regards." He said before sipping his drink.
"Sparrow?" Davy asked in fake confusion.
Will blinked as he stopped his drinking. "You didn't tell him?"He then looked at him. "We rescued Jack from the Locker, along with the Black Pearl."
"What else have you not told me?" He said bitterly.
"There's an issue, far more troublesome. I believe you're familiar with the person called Calypso," Beckett said as he got up and towards the globe.
"Not a person, a heathen god, one who delights in cursing men with their wildest dreams and then revealing them to be hollow and naught but ash. The world is well rid of her," Davy said in a dredged up anger that he would've had if he still hated Tia.
"Not quite so well actually, hmm, the Brethren Court intends to release her," Will said.
Davy turns his head to him. "No….they cannot! The first court promised they would imprison her forever, THAT was our agreement."
"Your agreement?" Beckett asked.
Davey then mutters, "I….showed them how to bind her. She could not be trusted. I….she gave me no choice...we must act before they release her."
"You loved her…" Will said before Davy quickly turns his head to him. "She's the one, and then you betrayed her."
Davy then mutters,"SHE pretended to love me, SHE betrayed ME!"
"And as to which betrayal did you cut out your heart?" Will asked as he stood up and was eye to eye with him.
Davy then knocked Will's teacup to the ground and it shattered. Beckett wasn't phased by the conversation, nor by the broken glass by his chair.
"Don't test me," Davy muttered.
"I hadn't finished that," Will said as Davy turned his head. 'You'll free my father." He then moved so that he was standing before Beckett. "And you will guarantee Elizabeth's safety, as well as Faye and Carmella. Along with my own."
"Your terms are steep, especially since it includes those girls," Beckett said. "Mr. Turner. We will expect fair value in return."
"There is only one price I require. Calypso, murdered!" Davy hissed. Will then turned to look at him.
"Calypso is aboard the Black Pearl.." Will said. Davy and Beckett looked at him with slight interest. "Jack is sailing them to Shipwreck Cove."
"And with you no longer aboard her," Beckett said as he stood up from his chair. "How do you propose to me to lead us there?"
Davy Jones looked at him from the shadows. Will then held up Jack's compass. "What is it that you want most?" He then handed the compass to Beckett. As soon as the compass had hit his palm, Beckett let the two men out of his sight.
Before Will could walk away, Davy grabbed onto his shoulder with his tentacle hand. "I want a word," He muttered.
Will barely looks over his shoulder. "What?" He asked simply.
"I want to know how my daughters are," He said in a whisper.
"And who are your daughters?" Will said with a roll of his eyes.
"Carmella and Faye," Davy said simply as he folded his arms a bit. "I know you were the last one who talked to them. Especially if it was Jack that sent you here,"
"How could they possibly be your children," Will muttered, unsure if he should believe it or not. "I knew them when they were little girls in the orphanage."
"They are not by my blood but by Tia's magic," He said quietly. "I would do ANYTHING to make sure that they are safe. They have changed my life."
When Will finally turned around he caught a glimpse of the true human form of Davy flickered in front of him. It was quick but it was all he needed to know that Davy was on his side and that he was only pretending his ruthless act. "That was an impressive act you just played in there," He said in a quiet tone.
"Used my past feelings of Calypso to make it believable. She and I came to a realization that we were not meant for each other. We now hold no grudges against each other. She already knows of the mistake I made all those years ago and forgives me. Just like I forgave her for all those years ago."
"Then you can count yourself a new ally," Will said. "Because I will do all I can to protect them as well."
Davy gave a nod and then left to go back to his ship. Leaving Will to ponder on the words that Davy had told him.
