Chapter 88: The Caribbean
Hey, everyone, I'm back. Wow, this chapter turned into a big one. Sorry it took so long, work and life kept getting in the way. I have to say compared to KH3 version I think mine turned out a lot better. I'd also like to thank my friend SuperHeroTimeFan for some of his ideas on this world. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.
As the Tempest was flying through space Sora's Gummi ship was attached to it so Donald and Goofy could come along with them. Inside the Tempest everyone was having Sea Salt Ice Cream as they filled Roxas in on the fights he missed.
"You should have been there Roxas, after you left Ramona faced La." Sora said.
"Wow, that sounds interesting, who won?" Roxas asks.
"I did." La smirks like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I'll get you next time Leopard Lady." Ramona scoffs.
"After that it was Poppy against Goofy." Donald said as Goofy rubbed his forehead in pain.
"I take it Poppy got a few good hits in there?" Roxas smirks.
"Yeah." Goofy said.
"Any other interesting matches?" Cupid asks.
"Yeah we had a bit of a fairy showdown between Faybelle and Farrah, which was totally awesome." Sparrow said.
"What did you expect?" Faybelle smirks.
"And before Riku and Sora faced off Namine and I had a match." Kairi said.
"Whoa you fought Kairi?" Roxas said surprised.
"Yeah it was quite a match." Namine smiles.
"Well we're just glad we all got a chance to get a little stronger while we were at that world." Jillian said.
"Not to mention we found out Xehanort has been expanding his forces." Riku said.
"We'll have to be extra careful, who knows what he'll do next." Apple said.
"Still you got a great team Roxas they're all really strong and each one fights in a real unique way." Sora said.
"Yeah I'm pretty lucky to have them all watching my back." Roxas said.
"So what happened to you when you left the arena?" Xion asks.
"Well Noctis, Raven, Cupid and I ended facing one of Xehanort's nobody titans and get this, the Digimon can transform." Roxas said getting their attention.
"Seriously?" Hunter said surprised.
"I know we managed to lessen Xehanort's forces and I even got this." Roxas holds out his hand and a keyblade formed. The blade resembles Noctis's Engine Blade, the guard is blue to represent Noctis's warp ability, the hilt is the same one from the Engine Blade, and the token at the end of the keychain is the symbol of Lucis.
"I call it the Kingsglaive." Roxas said.
"Cool name." Daring said.
As all of them talked Duchess watched from the back feeling left out when Courtly walks over.
"Hey is everything okay?" Courtly asks sitting down next to her.
"I think coming here was a mistake. I don't think I'm cut out to be on this team." Duchess sighs.
"Duchess I thought the same thing when I started out, but you just need to be patient and trust me before you know it, you'll be one of us." Courtly said causing Duchess to smile.
"You're a good friend Courtly."
"I know." Courtly smirks when suddenly the World Map goes off alerting everyone.
"Awe sweet a new mission." Melody said they all walked over to Roxas who opens it.
"The Caribbean." Roxas read and instantly Sora cheered.
"Yes! We get to be pirates!" Sora smiles.
"Pirates?" Instantly Darling, Cerise, Raven, Briar, Lizzie and Blondie thought back to Pixie Hollow when they fought James and the Heartless.
"So Sora you seem to know a bit about this world care to fill us in?" Apple asks.
"It's awesome, high flying adventures, open seas, when Donald, Goofy and I went we met a pirate named Jack Sparrow who we helped stop an evil pirate named Barbossa from kidnapping Will and Elizabeth." Sora explains.
"Yeah he even wanted Sora's keyblade." Goofy said.
"Well what did you say when he wanted it?" Hunter asks.
"I let him take it…then after a few seconds I called it back to my hands." Sora smirks causing everyone to chuckle.
"Hey you pulled a similar trick like that on Headmaster Grimm when he wanted your Keyblade." Dexter recalls looking at Roxas who chuckles.
"Uh yeah I guess I did." He said rubbing the back of his head.
As they approached the world Roxas looks to the Forever After Fighters.
"Okay who's coming down with me for this one?" Roxas asks.
"I am!" Sora said standing up quickly.
"If Sora's going, you're gonna need my help to keep an eye on him." Riku said standing up.
"I'll go too, I love me some adventure." Briar said.
"Do you even have to ask?" Blondie asks standing up.
"I-I'd like to go too." Meeshell said.
"I'm in." Cupid said standing up which made Riku smile softly.
"Anyone else?" Roxas asks.
Seeing this as her chance to spend more time with Roxas Lizzie stands up. "Count me in."
"Alright, Dexter bring us in." Roxas said.
"You got it." Dexter said going to the controls when a bright flash of light envelops them.
When the light faded away Roxas looked around and saw that their clothes had changed. Everyone was now wearing pirate clothes.
Roxas was wearing a black coat, black hat, a silver undershirt with his X symbol necklace around his neck and an x on his shirt. Sora had a similar outfit but was more colorful and had his crown symbol on his hat. Briar was wearing a black hat with a crimson shirt with brown pants. Riku was wearing a sleeveless gray shirt with green bandanna tied around his wrist. Lizzie was wearing her hair in a ponytail, a red and black coat with red shirt under and black pants. Cupid was wearing a white shirt with a heart on the back, red pants and her bow strapped to her back. Blondie was wearing a white shirt with a brown vest, white pants and brown hat. Finally, Meeshell was wearing a sea green jacket with a white shirt under, a bandanna and she had her sea green skirt changed into pants.
"Whoa." Everyone said checking out their new looks.
"This is so cool, we're like a real pirate crew." Sora said.
Duchess looked at her outfit and even she was impressed. 'Wow so this is what going on these missions is like.'
"I'll say check out our ship." Lea said as they looked around to see the were standing on a silver pirate ship with black sails and it had the words The Tempest on the side.
"Well yo ho, yo ho. They look like a real pirate crew." Brooke said.
"Now this is my kind of ship. Where to?" Roxas asks
"Captain Roxas, I know where we're going." Sora smirks. "The Edge of the World!"
"Uh guys, I think we found it." Meeshell said.
"You hear that? We found the edge of the world." Sora said before they all paused that the remark. Looking over they saw they were literally about to fall off the edge of the world which was a giant waterfall.
All of them scream as they tried to paddle away from it, but the water was too strong, and they all ended up falling over and everything went black.
When they woke up, they found themselves laying around on the deck of the Tempest groaning.
"Is everyone alright?" Briar groans.
"What happened?" Cupid asks waking up to see she had fallen on top of Riku. Blushing she quickly picks herself up. "Uh sorry about that."
Looking around Meeshell saw no sign of water for miles just sand narrowing her eyes Meeshell sees something in the distance.
"Hey guys, what's that?" She points getting everyone's attention.
"Hey wait, that looks like…" Sora smiles as he climbs off the Tempest and runs towards it. Looking to see that there was no way the Tempest would be able to move on dry land they all climbed off.
"You guys keep an eye on things, we'll be right back." Roxas said climbing off the ship.
"Aye aye captain." Apple giggles.
Running after Sora they stopped to see a large black ship in front of them, but little did they know something was heading towards the Tempest.
"It's the Black Pearl." Sora smiles
"Now that's a cool pirate ship." Brooke said when they heard a scream. Looking up they saw a man fall overboard and land in front of them. This was Jack Sparrow.
"Jack Sparrow." Sora said happy to see an old friend when Jack immediately gets up and turns to them.
"Captain Jack Sparrow." Jack corrects when from the deck of the ship several Spear Lizard, Anchor Raider, Ferocious Fins and Vapor Fly Heartless jump down in front of them. "Oh ye scury trespassers hand over control of my ship or face the consequences."
"Uh Jack these aren't the people that you can negotiate with." Sora said as he summoned Kingdom Key, Riku summoned Way to Dawn, Roxas summoned Kingsglaive, Briar summoned her staff, Cupid drew her bow, Lizzie readied her arm blade and cards, and Meeshell grabbed her Orb while Blondie summoned her camera droids.
"Who be the captain of this crew?" Jack asks drawing his sword.
"That be me, Captain Roxas Twilight."
"Well Captain Twilight it's your lucky day for you and your crew get to assist me in this matter. Charge!" Jack yells as he sprinted towards the Heartless.
As the Vapor flies flew in Cupid runs towards it and at the last second slides under it firing an arrow hitting it in the chest making it swivel towards Lizzie who slices in half with her arm blade.
"Dark Firaga!" Riku said firing a ball of black flames which slams into a Ferocious Fins knocking it backwards. As it recovers from the attack it charges forward to bash Riku the Kingsglaive keyblade swings in towards it and suddenly Roxas appears in front of it and slashes it in half destroying it.
Riku looks to Roxas who smirks back signaling him to watch himself.
Charging towards a Vapor Fly Sora jumps onto it's back and steers it towards the other Heartless.
"Whoo! Look out below!" Sora said as the Vapor Fly started shooting at them.
Everyone looked to Sora with interest.
"Leave it to Sora to think outside the box like that." Roxas smirks.
"Roxas behind you!" Meeshell yells blasting the Anchor Raider with a torrent of water destroying it.
"Magnet!" Briar yells holding her staff in the air pulling multiple Spear Lizards. "Sora now!"
Flying in Sora blasts all the Spear Lizards destroying them. Jumping off the Vapor Fly he was on Sora slashes it in half.
"Roxas!" Sora yells as they both spin their keyblades rapidly.
"Light Storm!" They yelled as from their keyblades strong gusts of wind with multiple blades of light go flying towards the Heartless destroying the rest of them.
"Whoo that takes care of those annoying things." Briar sighs in relief as Jack looks around the Pearl.
"By the way Captain Twilight, I'd like to offer some advice captain to captain." Jack said walking over.
"Uh sure what?" Roxas asks as Jack leans.
"I'd strongly recommend making some adjustments to your crew it's bad luck to bring women onboard your ship." Jack whispers a little loudly causing the girls to glare at him. Lizzie being the closest slaps him in the face. "I'm not sure I deserved that." Jack said rubbing his cheek.
"Oh you did, trust me." Blondie growls.
"Anyway, feel free to come aboard." Jack said as they made their way on board unaware of some little crabs moving under the ship.
"Sorry if my crew is a little messy, so lazy." Jack said as they looked aboard to see there was no else but them.
"Uh Jack it's just us." Sora said.
"No there isn't there's my crew right there." Jack points around the ship but still they saw nothing.
All of them look at each other thinking Jack had gone made when suddenly the ship started to move.
"Whoa! What the?" Riku looks to see the Tempest was moving towards them as they sailed across the sand.
Running to the side Cupid saw what had to be millions of white crabs moving the two ships.
On the Tempest Raven and Dexter ran out to the deck and waved for them.
"Guys what do we do?!" Dexter calls out.
"Where are we going?!" Raven calls out.
"I have no idea!" Roxas replies as the crabs carried them off.
Meanwhile, on a distant shore, multiple people were picking themselves out of the water.
"This truly is a god forsaken place." A man with a white beard said. This was Mr. Gibbs.
"I don't see Jack; I don't see anyone." A woman with blonde hair said. This was Elizabeth Swann.
"He be here, Davy Jones never gave on what someone took from him." A man with brown hair and a pirate's hat said. This was Captain Barbossa
"And does it matter? We're trapped here by your doing." A man with black hair said as some white crabs scuttled over to a woman with dark skin and dreadlocks. These were Will Turner and Tia Dalma.
"Whitty Jack is closer than you think." She said as over a large sand dune the Black Pearl and the Tempest climbed over them and into the sea
"Well slap me face and hand me to me mama, it's Jack." Mr. Gibbs said as they made their way over.
"But who's is the other ship?" Will asks as Jack, Roxas, Sora, Riku, Cupid, Meeshell, Blondie, Briar, and Lizzie walked on shore to them.
"It's the captain!" Mr. Gibbs said.
"Aye! Mr. Gibbs, I expect you'll be able to account for your actions, then." Jack said.
"Sir?" Mr. Gibbs asks confused.
"There has been a perpetual and virulent lack of discipline upon my vessel, why is that?"
"Sir, you're in Davy Jones' Locker, Cap'n." Mr. Gibbs said.
"Davy Jones' Locker?" Sora asks looking at Roxas who merely shrugs.
"I know that. And don't think I don't." Jack said looking to the Forever Ever After Fighters.
"Jack Sparrow." Barbossa said getting their attention.
"Barbossa!" Roxas and Sora gasps remembering him.
"Hector, it's been too long, hasn't it?" Jack asks walking over.
"Aye, Isla de Muerta, remember? You shot me." Barbossa said.
"No I didn't." Jack denies.
"Yes he did." Sora whispers to everyone.
"Sora. We meet again." Will said as he and Elizabeth walked over to the Forever After Fighters.
"I see you found yourself a new crew." Elizabeth said.
"Will. Elizabeth." Sora smiles happy to see some old faces.
"We didn't expect to see you all here of all places." Elizabeth said.
"Uh where exactly is here?" Meeshell asks.
"And what's this about a locker?" Briar asks.
"Davy Jones' Locker. Jack neglected to pay a certain debt to Jones. So Jones sent the Kraken to devour Jack and that's how he ended up here." Will explains.
"Wait a minute…so Davy Jones' Locker is…" Cupid said turning pale.
"We've gone beyond the grave?" Riku said surprised.
"How is this even possible?" Blondie asks.
"That's why we're here to save Jack from this fate, but we'll help you guys as well." Will said.
"Much appreciated." Roxas said.
"Rescue me?" Jack said turning to them. "As it seems we possess ships and you don't."
"I see my ship right there." Barbossa said pointing at the Pearl.
"No way pal that ship is Jack's end of story." Sora scoffs.
"Jack, Cutler Beckett has the heart of Davy Jones. He controls the Flying Dutchman." Will said.
"He's taking over the seas." Elizabeth said.
"And he must be stopped. The Brethren Court has been called." Tia Dalma said.
"Leave you all alone for a minute and look what happens." Jack said.
"Geez this world has a lot of problems." Lizzie whispers.
"No kidding." Briar nods.
"We need you back Jack." Mr. Gibbs said.
"And you need a crew." Will said.
"Why should I sail with any of you? Four of you have tried to kill me in the past, one of you succeeded." Jack said looking at Elizabeth shocking Will.
"Jack you have us." Sora said.
"Right if it weren't for you I never would have gotten the Pearl back. Captain Twilight, you and your crew are hired." Jack said.
"Wait what?" Roxas said confused as Jack made his way down the line.
Looking at Tia Dalma the two of them smiled. "Alright Tia Dalma you're in. You too Gibbs. Not you two you're creepy." Jack said gesturing to a short blading man and a man with blonde hair and a wooden eye. These were Pintel and Ragetti.
"Marty, you're in. Cotton, Cotton's Parrot." Jack stops when he see a large group of unfamiliar men. "Who are you? Where do your allegiances lie?"
"With the highest bidder." One said.
"I have a ship." Jack gestures.
"That makes you the highest bidder."
"Alright then, weigh anchor prepare to set sail." Jack said taking out a compass, but it was going wildly in every direction.
"Oh Jack." Looking at Barbossa, Pintel, Ragetti, Will and Elizabeth he saw that Barbossa had charts in his hands. "Which way you going?" He smirks.
As both ships set sail the Forever After Fighters were all on deck managing the Tempest while Roxas and his small group were on board the Pearl and Jack and Barbossa were trying to give orders to the crew.
"What are you doing?" Barbossa asks.
"What are you doing? The Captain gives orders on the ship." Jack said.
"And I be the Captain." Barbossa said.
"My ship, I'm Captain." Jack said.
"They be my charts." Barbossa said.
"That makes you…chartman." Jack said.
"Stow it! Both of you that's an order!" Pintel said causing everyone to stop what they were doing and stare. "Sorry I just thought with the Captain issue I'd throw my name in for consideration."
"Let's get another Captain's opinion." Jack said turning to Roxas. "Captain Twilight help us settle this."
"Oh don't go there, he's already on your side of course he'll vote for you." Barbossa said grabbing Roxas' shoulder. "Stick me with me kid and I'll show you how to be a real Captain."
"Now hold it right there. If he wants to learn from the best he should be learning from me." Jack said grabbing his other shoulder.
"Does anyone want to hear my opinion?" Roxas asks.
"No." They both said before dragging him off.
With Blondie she had her mirropad out and was recording herself walking around the Pearl.
"That's right fans this is Blondie Lockes aboard an actual pirate ship with real pirates. What adventure awaits us in this voyage? Stay tuned and find out." Blondie said when Mr. Gibbs walks over.
"Young lady what are ye doing talking into that thing?" Mr. Gibbs asks.
"Oh well I record our adventures so that other people can learn about them." Blondie said.
"Oh so you're like a log keeper." Mr. Gibbs said before looking out to the Tempest. "I have to say you're all pretty young to be sailors. How did you get a ship so fine?"
"It belongs to Roxas and for years he's taken us to countless places." Blondie said.
"That's a mighty respectable journey to travel with so many colleagues." Mr. Gibbs said.
As Meeshell was sitting on the deck overlooking the sea Tia Dalma was eyeing her curiously.
"Well not often I see many of those out and about." Tia said before walking over to Meeshell and whispers. "The powers of the sea are strong in you, but you have to realize your true potential."
"Huh?" Meeshell turns to Tia who merely smiles before walking away.
As Cupid and Riku were walking along the deck they heard something from below.
"It was you. You left Jack to the Kraken." Will said.
"It was the only way." Elizabeth said.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Will asks.
"It wasn't your burden to bear." Elizabeth said.
"But I did bear it didn't I? I just didn't know it at the time. If you make choices like that how can I trust you?" Will asks.
"You can't." Elizabeth said.
"You shouldn't be so quick to throw away a relationship like that." Looking to the stairs they saw Cupid walking down to them.
"Cupid? How much did you hear?" Elizabeth asks.
"I heard enough. Elizabeth if you and Will truly love each other you can't keep secrets like that from each other. Being together means you share everything." Cupid said.
"Even the stuff that might hurt others?" Will asks.
"Especially that." Riku said walking down. "Hiding information that could hurt others can not only hurt you but everyone else around you."
Both Will and Elizabeth look at each other and nod realizing both of them were right.
"You know you two make a really helpful couple." Elizabeth said causing them to blush.
'Couple?' They both thought about looking at each other before looking away.
As clouds covered the sky and everyone was below deck resting Meeshell looks down at the water deciding to take a swim. Diving into the water she turns into her mermaid form, but as she swims around the Tempest she sees something swimming in her direction.
Narrowing her eyes she looks closely before realizing the thing floating towards her were corpses. Letting out a scream underwater she scrambles and climbs back onto the Pearl where Roxas was at the wheel.
"Whoa Meeshell what's wrong?" Roxas asks running to her who was panting heavily.
"Dead people…floating towards me in the water." She said scared out of her mind.
"Hey, hey, it's okay you're safe now." Roxas said pulling her into a hug comforting her.
Feeling protected in his arms Meeshell calms down and leans into the hug.
"Why were their even corpses in the water?" Roxas asks when Tia Dalma walks to the edge and looks down at the corpses.
"They should be in the care of Davy Jones. That was the duty given to him by the goddess Calypso. To ferry those who die at sea to the other side. But once every 10 years he was allowed to come ashore to be with the one who loved him. But that man is gone he is only a monster." She said.
"So what happened to him?" Roxas asks as Tia turns to them.
"He began to neglect his duties and because of that he became cursed." She said as boats made their way towards them.
"Uh guys we got company!" Roxas said calling everyone from the Tempest and the Pearl to the decks to see what was happening.
"What is going on?" Riku asks.
"Are we in trouble?" Briar asks.
"We be nothing more than ghosts to them." Tia said.
From the Tempest they all saw men, woman and children floating in the boats but none of them said anything.
"Hey do you people need help?" Apple asks.
"We got plenty of room on our ship." Maddie calls out but none of them hear them.
"What's wrong with these people? They're not even moving." Brooke asks.
"Brooke I'm afraid these people are beyond receiving any kind of help." The female narrator said causing Brooke to gasp in realization.
In one of the boats was a man with long blonde hair causing Elizabeth to smile. "It's my father we've made it back. Father! Over here!"
"Elizabeth, we're not back." Jack said causing a look of horror to appear on her face.
"Father!" She calls out moving down the ship.
Looking over her father sees her on the Pearl.
"Elizabeth, are you dead?" He asks as she shakes her head. "I think I am." He said shocking her.
"He's dead? We never see this kind of stuff on your videos." Duchess said in shock.
"We don't see much of it." Raven said.
"No you can't be." Elizabeth said.
"There was this chest you see, I saw it. It seemed so important at the time. And a heart. I learned that if you stab it your heart must take its place and you will sail the seas for all eternity." He said getting Briar's attention. "The Dutchman must always have a Captain. Silly thing to die for." He said.
"Someone cast a line!" Elizabeth said as Sora and Marty handed her the rope.
"A torch of destiny." Tia Dalma said looking at everyone as Elizabeth threw the rope landing on her father's boat, but he didn't budge.
"Take the line!" Elizabeth calls out.
"I'm so proud of you." He said as the rope fell off his boat.
Panicking Elizabeth was about to jump overboard.
"She must not leave the ship!" Tia Dalma said as Roxas, Will, Riku and Sora grabbed her stopping her from jumping overboard.
"No! Please! I won't let you die!" Elizabeth cries.
"I'll give my love to your mother for you." Her father said as he disappeared along with the other boats.
The next day everyone was laying around the two ships, supplies were low, and morale was even lower.
"Uh we've been sailing for what feels like forever." Lea groans.
"Where are we even going?" Darling asks.
Looking to the other ship Briar and Will were standing next to Tia Dalma while Roxas was with Jack who was working on the charts.
"If we don't escape this realm before night we will be trapped here forever." Tia Dalma warns.
"With no water? Sounds like a fun eternity." Mr. Gibbs said.
"There has to be something we can do." Sora said as Jack adjusted the chart before taking out his compass to see it was spinning everywhere.
"Hey Jack, you've been staring at that compass quite a bit. What's so special about it?" Meeshell asks.
"This compass is a special one. Whatever it is you want most the compass will lead you to it." Jack said.
"Can I try?" Meeshell asks as Jack hands it to her.
She opens it and as the compass spins it comes to a stop pointing in front of Roxas. Raising an eyebrow, she slowly moves out of the way, but the arrow still points towards Roxas causing her to blush.
"Well what's it pointing at?" Roxas asks.
"Uh nothing, it's going everywhere." Meeshell lies.
"Yeah that seems to be happening to me too, maybe when we're back in the land of the living it'll work." Jack said taking back the compass.
'Do I really like Roxas that way?' Meeshell thought as Jack adjusted the charts.
"Up is Down? Well that doesn't make much sense." Jack said.
"Yeah by Sunset we're done for." Roxas sighs.
"Wait a minute. Not Sunset, Sundown and rise up." Jack said standing up. "What's that?" Running to the edge Sora, Roxas, Mr. Gibbs and Will follow Jack. "What is that?"
"Where?" Riku asks.
"There." Jack said before running to the other side and back again.
"What is it?" Roxas asks when Jack runs to the other side.
Looking over from the Tempest the Forever After Fighters were watching them run across the Pearl so much the boat started to rock.
"What are they doing?" Alistair asks.
"I don't know but it looks like fun." Maddie said.
"He's rocking the ship." Pintel said in shock.
"We're rocking the ship!" Sora said.
"I suggest you tell your crew to do the same thing." Jack warns Roxas.
"Guys! Rock the ship!" Roxas yells as the Tempest crew looks at each other unsure before Maddie and Courtly ran from side to side.
"Come on let's go! It's better than being trapped here forever!" Courtly said.
Nodding in agreement the Forever After Fighters mimicked them and started rocking the ship.
"Aye he's onto it." Barbossa grins looking at the chart.
"He's rocking the ship." Pintel said as Ragetti ran over with some rope.
"Tie each other to the mast upside down so when the boat flips, we'll be the right way up." Ragetti said as they ran to grab some more rope.
"Now up is down!" Jack yells as the ships flip upside down into the water.
Underwater everyone struggles to hold their breath when Meeshell's grip slips and she sinks into the water.
Acting quickly Briar and Roxas grab her hands holding her up.
When the sun sets a bright green flash shot into the sky and from underwater both ships rose up until they hit the surface causing everyone to gasp and cough.
"You know, you could've warned us Jack." Sora pants.
"That was unpleasant." Lizzie coughs.
"Everyone alright?" Roxas calls over to the Tempest where everyone was in a similar condition.
"Define Alright." Sparrow coughs.
"We made it." Riku said as they picked themselves up.
"Well that was something." Blondie said when Barbossa, Will, Mr. Gibbs, Elizabeth and Jack pulled their pistols on each other. "And so is this." Blondie said eyes widening.
"We need our pistols! Someone cut us down!" Pintel said.
"Okay." Briar said cutting them free causing the two of them to fall on the deck face first.
"You enjoyed that didn't you?" Roxas asks.
"Oh yeah." She giggles.
"Alright here's what's going to happen, the Brethren Court is gather and Jack you and I are going to it." Barbossa said.
"Not happening." Jack said as Elizabeth points both her pistols at him.
"The pirates are banding together to fight Beckett." She said.
"And you're a pirate. You have to fight." Sora said.
"If you don't, they'll hunt us all down until there's none left. Now how does that sound facing Davy Jones alone?" Barbossa asks causing Jack to gulp.
Taking out the map Will shows them where they were. "There's a freshwater spring nearby, we can resupply there and shoot each other later." Will suggests.
"You go with the search party I'll stay with my ship." Jack said.
"I won't be leaving my ship in your command." Barbossa glares.
"Why don't you both go and leave the ship in my command?" Will suggests as both captains look at him. "Temporarily."
"Fine, Captain Twilight, you and your friends will accompany us to make sure he doesn't pull anything." Jack said.
"Sounds fine with me."
"Roxas take Sora, Riku, Briar, Cupid you guys come with you." Will suggests.
Making their way to the rowboats they paddle to the island.
"You seem distracted. What ales you Captain Twilight?" Barbossa asks but Roxas just looks at him suspiciously. "Aw don't be like that we literally escaped the land of the dead together."
"Sorry but this whole Davy Jones thing has me worried. Who is he and what does he have against Jack?" Roxas asks.
"You really are new to this if you've never heard of Davy Jones. Years ago, the Pearl sank to the bottom of the ocean and Jack made a deal with Davy Jones to rise it up and to let him be captain of it for 13 years, but when Jack didn't pay his debt Davy Jones set out to kill him. Now that Beckett has his heart, we all have to work together if we're to survive this." Barbossa explains as they walked to the spring only to find a dead body laying in it causing the Forever After Fighters to cringe.
"I'm really starting to not like this world." Cupid whispers.
Checking the water Barbossa spits it out. "Poisoned, fouled by the body."
Walking over Pintel picks up the body to see who it is.
"Hey I know this guy, he was in Singapore with us." Pintel said.
"Uh guys." Cupid said pointing to Raegetti who was waving his arms.
"We got company!" He calls out pointing to the ships.
Looking to the Pearl and the Tempest they saw a third ship approaching them and all the other men in the group pull out their pistols and aim them at Roxas, Jack and Barbossa.
"They're the only Captains here." Jack said pointing to Roxas and Barbossa causing them to roll their eyes.
"Jack!" Sora said not believing he just sold them out like that.
"Don't draw your weapon Sora, it'll only cause more trouble." Barbossa warns.
Back on the Pearl Lizzie, Meeshell and Blondie looked around trying to figure out what to do next.
"Girls over here." Will said gesturing for them to go below deck to the brig. Following him down below Will grabs the three of them and throws them in a cell.
"Hey what's going on?!" Lizzie asks picking herself up.
"Sorry girls, but I have plans for this ship and can't risk you getting hurt." Will said.
"Off with your head!" Lizzie snaps.
"I'm sorry." Will said making his way back up.
"This is so not just right." Blondie said in a huff.
Leading them back to the ships they saw the Pearl overrun with pirates while they had Elizabeth hostage and guns aimed at the Tempest who were ready to fight back if need be.
Leading them all was a bald Asian man; this was Sao Feng another Pirate Lord like Jack and Barbossa.
"That's a nice ship, who be the Captain of this vessel?" Sao Feng asks looking at the Tempest.
"I am." Roxas said stepping forward instantly all of Sao Feng's pirates point at laugh at him.
"Tell me boy where do your allegiances lie?" Sao Fang asks.
"Depends on what you do to my friends." Roxas glares causing Sao Feng to smirk.
"Sao Feng, you showing up here is truly a remarkable coincidence." Barbossa said as Jack tried hiding behind Sora and Riku.
"Jack Sparrow, you gave me great insult the last time we met." Sao Feng said.
"Doesn't sound like me." Jack said when Sao Fang punches him in the face causing everyone to wince. "So do we call it square then?"
"Release her, she's not part of the bargain." Will said walking over.
"And what bargain would that be?" Riku asks.
"He led a mutiny aboard this ship and threw your friends in the brig." Mr. Gibbs said.
"What?!" Roxas snaps turning to Will.
"I had no choice. I need the Black Pearl to free my father." Will said.
"Out of my way." Roxas said pushing Will out of the way and heading down to the brig.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Elizabeth asks.
"It was my burden to bear." Will said using her exact same words.
"He needs the Pearl and you need me for the Brethren court. Did no one save me just because they missed me?" Jack asks as Marty, Pintel, Ragetti, Cotton and Sora raised their hands. "I'm with them."
Jack was about to move towards them when Sao Feng grabs him.
"I'm sorry Jack but there is an old friend who wants to see you first." Sao Feng said.
"I'm not sure I can survive any more old friends." Jack said.
"Here is your chance to find out." Sao Fang said showing him the boat of Beckett.
Down in the brig, Lizzie was banging against the bars trying to get them to open.
"Will! When I get my hands on you, you're gonna pay!" Lizzie yells.
"And here I thought he was out friend." Meeshell said.
"Nope, he was just using us." Blondie said when Roxas made his way down the stairs.
"Excuse me ladies, but this be a prison break." Roxas said causing all three girls to smile. Summoning his keyblade Roxas taps the cell unlocking it causing Lizzie and Meeshell to run out and hug him in thanks.
"I'm sorry Roxas we should've seen this coming." Blondie said walking out.
"What's going on up there?" Meeshell asks.
"Oh the usual." Roxas said.
"That bad huh?" Lizzie sighs as they were about to make their way up when Tia Dalma walks down.
"Is something wrong?" Roxas asks.
"Jack is aboard the ship of Beckett and we fear we may need to make a fast escape when negotiations fall short." Tia Dalma said.
"We better warn the others." Roxas said as they made their way up only for Tia Dalma to grab Meeshell's shoulder stopping her.
"If you wouldn't mind, I'd like a quick word with you." She said.
"Uh sure, I guess." Meeshell said turning to her when she notices her Orb of Poseidon in Tia Dalma's hands. "Hey careful with that."
"A very interesting object, how did you come into possession of this?" Tia Dalma asks.
"Roxas gave it to me. It's thanks to him I'm the person I am today." Meeshell smiles as Tia Dalma hands it back to her.
"Aw the power of love." She said causing Meeshell to blush.
"L-Love?" She stutters.
"It is a powerful drive to inspire people to better themselves for the sake of others, but this is only scratching the surface of your true abilities." Tia Dalma said.
"What do you mean?" Meeshell asks.
"A Mermaid has many unique powers and you are no different." Tia said shocking Meeshell.
"H-How did you—" Before Meeshell could finish Tia taps her forehead.
"You were in the water and ran in fear of something unknown. A mermaid is never afraid when she is in her element. In the water, you are the one who is in control." Tia Dalma said before walking up the stairs leaving Meeshell by herself.
"In the water…I'm in control." She said to herself.
"This Tia Dalma lady is really mysterious, who is she?" Brooke asks.
"I wish I knew Brooke, but maybe we'll find out." The male narrator said.
On the other ship, Jack was forced into a room where Beckett was looking at the Pearl through a window.
"Remarkable, the last I saw of that ship she was on fire. A blackened hull sinking beneath the waves." Beckett said as Jack started snooping around. "We had a deal Jack. I contracted you to deliver cargo on my behalf you chose to liberate it."
"People aren't cargo mate." Jack said looking at a mark on his arm.
"And you incurred a heavy debt to raise her up again. It's not here Jack." Beckett said turning to him.
"What? What isn't?" Jack asks.
"The Heart of Davy Jones. It's onboard the Dutchman and unavailable for you to use as leverage to satisfy your debt to the great captain." Beckett said.
"By my account, that debt has been settled." Jack said.
"By your death? And yet here you are." Beckett said.
"Close your eyes and pretend it's all a bad dream. That's how I get by." Jack smirks.
"Your good deed cost me Jack." Beckett glares.
"And you have spared me any possibility of ending up as anything other than what I am and for that I thank you. Will someone be in soon to draw you a bath?" Jack asks.
"It would be so nice if all of us were on lifelong holiday, but someone must ensure the world turns properly. People are what they love Jack and what they love is cargo, they love spices, and linens, and silks and plantains. As long as it is delivered on schedule and in the right quantity then they are nothing more than figures on a ledger. You're a clever man Jack, you know I'm right." Beckett said.
"If you're offering me a seat on the board, I'm neither depraved enough nor drunk enough to accept." Jack said as Beckett grabs two glasses of rum.
"Well then maybe you would consider an alternative arrangement. One that requires absolutely nothing from you but information." Beckett said offering him a glass.
"In regard to the Brethren Court no doubt." Jack said taking both glasses and gulping them down. "In exchange for fair compensation, square my debt with Jones, and guarantee my freedom."
"Of course, it's just good business." Beckett said.
"Were I in a divulgatory mood, what would I tell you?" Jack asks.
"Everything: where are they meeting, who are the Pirate Lords and what is the meaning behind the 9 Pieces of 8?" Beckett asks.
Outside on the Pearl, Beckett's men were taking control of the ship.
"We agreed that the Black Pearl would be mine." Sao Feng said.
"Lord Beckett's not going to hand over the one ship that can outrun the Dutchman." One said walking off.
"Shame they are not bound to honor the Code of the Brethren isn't it, because honor is a hard thing to come by." Barbossa said.
"There is no honor to remain with the losing side." Sao Feng said.
"But you think there's honor in working with the enemy?" Riku asks causing Sao Feng to glare at him. "Face it, you're scared."
"They have the Dutchman and now the Pearl! What do we have?" Sao Feng asks when Barbossa grabs him.
"We have Calypso." Barbossa said.
"Calypso?" Sora asks confused.
"That's just an old legend." Sao Feng said.
"The goddess herself bound in human form. Imagine all the power of the seas against our enemies. I need the Brethren court for this and all the Lords." Barbossa said.
Back on Beckett's ship Jack and Beckett were still negotiating.
"You can keep Barbossa and his weird homunculus and friend with the wooden eye and Turner, especially Turner. The rest along with Captain Twilight and his crew come with me to Shipwreck Cove where I will personally hand you the pirates and you will not hand me to Jones." Jack said.
"And what becomes of Miss Swann?" Beckett asks.
"What interest is she to you?" Jack smirks.
On the Pearl, Sao Feng was looking at Elizabeth with interest. "The girl."
"Done." Elizabeth said shocking Will.
"No, not done." Will snaps.
"Elizabeth what are you doing?" Roxas asks.
"Will got us into this mess if this is what it takes then done." Elizabeth said.
"Elizabeth, these are pirates." Will said.
"I have had more than enough experience dealing with pirates." Elizabeth said.
Leaning towards Lizzie, Roxas whispers into her ear. "I don't trust Sao Feng, go with Elizabeth and make sure nothing happens."
Lizzie nods in understanding.
"We'll need a distraction to get away from all of them." Barbossa said.
"I got this." Roxas smirks.
"Do we have a deal Jack?" Beckett asks.
"Who do you think you're talking to?" Jack asks but Beckett was silent. "Captain Jack Sparrow."
"FIRE!" Roxas yells from the outside as Maddie and Crystal loaded the cannons on the Tempest and fired allowing Sao Feng to escape.
"Deal." Jack said shaking Beckett's hand before leaving.
On the Pearl, Roxas, Riku, Sora, Briar and Meeshell had their weapons out and were fighting off Beckett's men alongside Barbossa and Will.
"Never thought I would be fighting on the same side as you after last time." Sora said looking at Barbossa.
"Life is full of surprises." Barbossa smirks as he swings his sword knocking a man overboard.
Briar whacks an enemy with her staff before jumping back to Roxas.
"Are you sure Lizzie will be okay with those guys?" Briar asks.
"Trust me, she can handle herself." Roxas said as Jack ran up to the upper deck. When Beckett followed him he saw Jack had tied a rope to a cannon and was about to light it.
"You're mad." Beckett said.
"Good because if I wasn't this might never work." Jack said as the cannonball fired hitting the mast and launching him back onto the Pearl.
"Jack!" Sora gasps as they ran up to try and find him when they spot him leaning on the mast.
"And that boys was without spilling a single drop of rum." Jack smirks before landing in front of Will. "Escort this traitorous codpiece to the brig."
"With pleasure." Blondie growls.
As the Pearl set off Beckett looks at his own destroyed ship. "Which do we follow sir?"
"Send the Dutchman after Sao Feng, we'll follow the Pearl. How long before we can follow?" Beckett asks when the mast fell.
"Do you think he plans this stuff ahead or makes it up as he goes along?"
Watching all of this from another ship Even was talking to two figures in Organization XII coat were standing on deck when one pulls back his hood to reveal a man with blonde hair and piercings, this was Luxord.
"Very interesting, a man put his heart in a chest and yet is still able to exist. Just the fact that it's possible has me intrigued." Even said.
"Do you think that box could be the one that we're looking for?" Luxord asks.
"Even if it does, we have to deal with Sora, his friends and those annoying Forever After Fighters." The third coat said.
"True but not game is fun unless it has some opponents." Luxord said.
"I suggest we bide our time and wait for the moment to strike." Even said.
"You can wait all you want, but I'm going after Riku." The figure in the coat said.
"We're not here to please lord Xemnas. Just leave this world to us and go back to making your replicas." Luxord smirks as the two of them disappear leaving Even by himself.
Looking to the Tempest Even clenched his fist knowing what he had to do next.
On Sao Feng's ship, Lizzie was sitting on top a barrel as Elizabeth sat nearby.
"You know Lizzie I didn't ask for any help." Elizabeth said.
"Whether you asked or didn't is not going to stop me and my friends from doing the right thing." Lizzie said.
"You really are friends of Sora he acts the exact same way." Elizabeth chuckles.
"So did you really come here just so he would leave or was there another reason?" Lizzie asks.
"I don't know it's just when Will made such a deal behind my back it got me angry. It made me realize my mistake." Elizabeth said.
"Relationships aren't easy." Lizzie frowns.
"Do you have someone close to your heart?" Elizabeth asks causing her to blush.
"Well I'd like to think I do, but I'm not sure how he feels about me." Lizzie said.
"Well if he truly cares for you Lizzie then it'll be worth the wait." Elizabeth said patting her on the shoulder causing her to smile when Sao Feng enters the room.
"By this time tomorrow, we will arrive at Shipwreck Cove and you will be free Calypso."
"Calypso?" Lizzie asks confused.
"Ah yes, you and your young captain are new to the game of pirates. Let me enlighten you. The first Brethren Court used the 9 Pieces of 8 to bound the goddess Calypso to human form so that the rule of the sea would belong to man and not—"
"To me?" Elizabeth said playing along.
"One such as you should never be anything less than what you truly are." Sao Feng walking towards Elizabeth.
"Kind words tend not to slip through prison bars." Elizabeth said.
Sao Feng moves in trying to kiss Elizabeth, but she slaps him causing Sao Feng to stagger back. He turns to look at them when suddenly a cannon ball flies through the hull hitting sending him smashing into the walls.
Lizzie gasps as she looks up above deck to see the Flying Dutchman attacking the crew with multiple Spear Lizard, Pirate, Screw Driver and Missile Diver Heartless battling Sao Feng's men.
"Sao Feng?" Elizabeth moves toward the dying man who takes off his amulet.
"With this and the other pieces of 8 you will be free. Take it, you are the Captain now." Sao Feng said shocking her.
"Me?" She said as Sao Feng grabs her hand.
"Go in my place to Shipwreck Cove." Sao Feng said as Lizzie ran down.
"The ship has been taken we're overwhelmed—" Lizzie stops as Sao Feng pulls her in close.
"Forgive me…Calypso." He said with his last breath.
"What did he tell you?" Lizzie asks.
"He made me Captain." Elizabeth said.
Making their way outside men from the East India Trading Company grab them both when a man with blonde hair notices Elizabeth, this was James Norrington.
"Elizabeth?" James said surprised.
"James." Elizabeth said happy to see an old friend when a pirate with a tentacle face appears on board, this was Davy Jones.
"Who among you is the Captain?" He asks.
"She is." Lizzie said pointing to Elizabeth shocking the crew.
"Tow the ship, put the prisoners in the brig, the captain shall have my quarters." James said.
"Thank you, sir, but I prefer to stay with my crew." Elizabeth said.
"Elizabeth, I didn't know." James said.
"Know what? Which side you chose? Well now you do." She asks as she walks with Lizzie and the rest of the crew to the brig.
On the Dutchman, all of them were forced into the brig.
"Bootstrap? Bootstrap Bill Turner?" Elizabeth calls out.
"Bootstrap?" A voice calls out. To reveal a coral like man. This was Bootstrap Bill Turner, Will's father. "How do you know my name?"
"I know your son." Elizabeth said.
'So he's the reason Will tried to take over the Pearl.' Lizzie thought.
"William…he's coming for me. He promised." Bootstrap said with a smile on his face.
The next day on the Black Pearl, Roxas and Briar were standing on the deck looking out at the sea while Sora and Meeshell were at the wheel. On the Tempest Bunny and Xion were keeping track of everything and making sure that they were following the Pearl.
"As crazy as this pirate world has become it's nice to know we got the team nearby to back us up." Roxas said.
"Yeah." Briar nods not really thinking about that now.
"Something on your mind Briar?" Roxas asks.
"It's just, the whole Davy Jones thing sounds like quite a destiny. Traveling the high seas for all eternity, it's like it's telling me to stab the heart. If I did, I would never have to go to sleep for 100 years." Briar said.
"Wow, I never really thought of it like that." Roxas said.
"100 years? That would be a blessing compared to an eternity of guiding souls to the other side." Tia Dalma said standing nearby.
"What do you mean?" Briar asks looking at her.
"Think about it, you live for eternity yes, but you only get to come on land and be with your loved ones once every 10 years. You will stay the same while everyone you have ever cared about leaves this world behind. Is that something you really want for yourself?" Tia Dalma asks.
Briar looks to Roxas and the thought of never seeing him again struck her right to the core.
"Wow…I guess I didn't really consider that." Briar said as Tia Dalma walks towards the stairs to go below deck.
"Immortality is a curse for those who live to be among others." She said before going inside.
"Well so much for that destiny." Briar sighs leaning against the railing.
Standing next to her Roxas puts his arms around her and pulls her in close.
"Don't worry if anything happens to you, I'll always be there." Roxas said causing her to smile when they heard a splashing sound nearby.
"What was that?" Sora asks as they followed the noise to see Will tying corpses to barrels and dropping them in the water.
"Will!" Sora said surprised as Will pints his knife at them.
"What the heck are you doing?" Roxas asks.
"Well, you escaped the brig faster than I thought." Looking up they saw Jack making his way towards them. "William, do you notice anything? Or rather do you notice something that is not there to be noticed?"
"You haven't raised as an alarm." Will realized.
"Odd isn't it?" Jack asks.
"Not much odder than this." Briar said looking at Will's scheme.
"What is this?" Meeshell asks.
"I told myself, think like Jack." Will said.
"And this is what you arrived at? Leading Beckett to Shipwreck Cove to gain his trust and accomplish your own ends? It's like you don't know me at all." Jack said.
"I don't know it sounds pretty close." Sora said crossing his arms.
"Now how does your dearly beloved feel about this plan?" Jack asks.
"I'm losing her Jack, a step towards my father is a step away from Elizabeth." Will said.
"Mate if you lock your heart away you'll lose it for certain." Jack said.
"Wait what if someone else took out Davy Jones?" Roxas suggests.
"Who?" Will asks when Jack hints to himself. "You?"
"You?" Roxas, Sora, Briar and Meeshell said.
"Jack?" Brooke asks.
"Death has a curious way of reshuffling one's priorities. I slip aboard the Dutchman, find the heart, your father goes free, you're free to be with Elizabeth." Jack said.
"And you're willing to cut out your heart and bind yourself to the Dutchman forever?" Will asks.
"No mate, I'm free forever. Free to sail the seas across the edges of the map, free from death itself." Jack said.
"Jack you can't do that, you have to do the job of guiding souls to the other side." Roxas said.
"If you don't, you'll end up just like Jones." Will said.
"This face wasn't made for tentacles. Oh before I forget." Jack hands Will his compass.
"What's this for?" Will asks.
"Think like me, it'll come to you." Jack said before breathing on Will and the foulness from it causes Will to fall overboard.
"Will!" Sora and Roxas gasp as they look to see Jack tossing down a barrel for Will to float on.
"My regards to Davy Jones!" Jack calls out as the ship leaves Will behind.
"I hate that man." Will growls.
Back on the Flying Dutchman, James opens the door to the brig where Elizabeth, Lizzie and the crew all turn to look at him.
"Come with me. Quickly." James said as the crew followed him out.
"What are you doing?" Lizzie asks.
"Choosing a side." James declares.
Making their way outside they were shuffling to the side as they shimmied across the rope towing their ship to the Dutchman.
"Don't go to Shipwreck Cove, Beckett knows of the meeting of the Brethren I think there might be a traitor among you." James warns.
"It's too late to earn my forgiveness." Elizabeth said as Lizzie helped the last of the Pirates onto the ropes.
"I had nothing to do with your father's death. But that doesn't absolve me for all my other sins." James said.
"Come with us." Elizabeth said shocking him. "James come with me."
Before he could answer they heard a voice. "Who goes there?"
Drawing his sword James prepares for battle as Lizzie makes it across to the ship. "Go! I will follow."
"You're lying." Elizabeth said knowing full well what he was going to do.
"Our destines are intertwined Elizabeth but never joined." James said giving her a kiss. "Go now." James said as Bootstrap appeared. "Back to your post sailor."
"No one leaves the ship." Bootstrap said as Elizabeth made her escape. "Part of the crew part of the ship. Part of the crew part of the ship. Part of the crew part of the ship! Part of the crew part of the ship! The prisoners are escaping!" Bootstrap calls out.
"Belay that!" James said taking out his gun.
"James!" Elizabeth gasps as he shoots the ropes freeing the two ships from each other and causing Elizabeth to fall into the water. Using this opening Bootstrap stabs James in the chest. "JAMES!" Elizabeth screams as Lizzie helps her onto the ship.
On the Dutchman, Davy Jones looks to see the other ship getting away. Smirking Davy Jones draws his sword at points it at the escaping ship, before looking at James.
"Tell me…do you fear death?" Davy Jones asks when James uses his last bit of strength to stab him where his heart should be, but Davy Jones feels nothing. "Nice sword." Davy Jones said admiring it as he pulled it out of his chest.
On the ship Elizabeth put on the captain's hat and grabbed the wheel as the entire crew looked to her for guidance.
"Set a course for Shipwreck Cove." Elizabeth orders.
"Aye Captain!" They all said about to change course when suddenly four giant tentacles shoot out of the water.
Elizabeth gasps in horror to see the familiar tentacles of the Kraken was attacking them.
As it slammed its tentacles into the ship several of the men were dragged underwater as Lizzie jumps out of the way.
"Terriermon!" Lizzie calls out as her Digivice glowed summoning her Digimon.
"Lizzie what's going on?" Terriermon asks looking at the giant tentacles.
"We can't beat that thing, but we have to injure it enough so we can escape!" Lizzie said jumping backwards as a tentacle slams on the ship. Drawing her arm blade, she stabs the tentacle causing a shriek to appear from underground.
"Bunny Blast!" Terriermon blasts another tentacle but the remaining 6 tentacles appear surrounding them.
"Elizabeth! Get ready to move!" Lizzie calls out as she runs to the wheel.
When one of the tentacles falls towards Lizzie, she tries to dodge but trips and falls.
"Lizzie!" Terriermon gasps as he runs to her causing her Digivice to glow.
"Terriermon digivolve to Gargomon!" Appearing in Terriermon's place was a larger version of him with two Gatling guns for arms and belt of bullets across his chest.
Drawing her cards Lizzie and Gargomon had their backs to each other and shoot multiple bullets and cards at the tentacles keeping them away from the ship as Elizabeth steered the ship away from the Kraken.
"Gargomon, I got an idea, but I'll need you to keep that thing distracted for me." Lizzie said.
"On it Lizzie." Gargomon said as he jumped to the crow's nest to get a good view of all the tentacles.
Lizzie's cards spun around her as she electricity coated her arm blade. "Two Element Pair!" Lizzie said as she summoned two giant cards one coated with electricity and one coated with ice.
Throwing the cards into the water multiple explosions of ice and electricity went off stunning the Kraken causing to sink to the water.
"Go! Go! Go!" Gargomon said as they got the ship as far away from the Kraken as possible.
Turning back into Terriermon he looks to Lizzie who drops to her knees exhausted. Walking down to her Elizabeth helps Lizzie up and brought her to the Captain's quarters laying her down on the bed.
"You saved all our lives Lizzie, you've earned this." Elizabeth smiles as Lizzie drifted off to sleep. "Keep an eye on her and make sure she's safe."
"I will." Terriermon nods as Elizabeth makes her way back up to the deck.
The next day, the Pearl and the Tempest had arrived at Shipwreck Cove.
"Keep an eye out for Shipwreck Cove." Mr. Gibbs calls out.
Nearby Barbossa was talking to Tia Dalma.
"I never forget a bargain once struck, but we agreed on the ends, but the means are for me to decide." Barbossa said stroking her hair but Tia Dalma grabs his hand.
"Do not forget it was by my power that you returned to the dead." Tia Dalma glares.
"Do not forget why you brought me back, why you could not leave Jack to his fate. It took 9 Pirate Lords to bind you Calypso and it will take no less to set you free. Pintel, Ragetti!" Barbossa calls out for them. "Take this fish wife to the brig."
As they escorted her down Riku and Meeshell looked at them confused.
"Tia, what's going on?" Meeshell asks.
"Do not worry for me child. Worry for the challenge that awaits you." She said making her way to the brig.
That night at Shipwreck Cove, multiple pirate ships including the Pearl and the Tempest gathered in Shipwreck City.
"Sweet Fairy Godmother, look at all the Pirate Ships." Brooke said.
"Whoa." Roxas said in awe.
"Look at all of them." Riku said.
"There hasn't been a gathering of this many pirates ever." Barbossa said.
"And I owe them all money." Jack said.
"Why is that not a surprise?" Cupid rolls her eyes.
As they made their way up to the council of the Pirate Lords Jack pulls Roxas in close.
"Stick close to me and pretend you're on my crew, the Pirate Lords won't let you kids attend otherwise." Jack whispers.
Roxas looks to Sora, Riku, Cupid, Blondie, Briar and Meeshell who all nod as Blondie took out her mirrorpad to record the meeting.
Banging a ball against the table Barbossa calls everyone to attention.
"I call you all here for the 4th annual Brethren Court." Barbossa said as the Pirate Lords took their seats. "Now for the right to be heard present your pieces of 8."
As Ragetti walked around everyone expected to see amazing treasures but all they saw were things like a playing card, a pair of glasses, and a broken off top of a bottle.
"What the heck is this?" Riku asks raising an eyebrow.
"Those are just pieces of junk." Briar said.
"Aye, the original plan was to use 9 pieces of 8 to bind Calypso, but when they first met the first Brethren Court were flat broke." Mr. Gibbs explains.
"So why don't they change the name?" Cupid suggests.
"To what? 9 Pieces of whatever we happen to be having in our pockets at the time?" Mr. Gibbs asks.
"And now for you Ragetti." Barbossa said.
"Aye master, been keeping it nice and safe." Ragetti nods.
"But now I need it back." Barbossa whacks him in the back of the head knocking out his wooden eye grossing the Forever Ever Fighters out.
"You might want to invest in an eyepatch buddy." Sora cringes.
"Good idea." Ragetti said putting the Pieces of 8 down.
"Jack I believe it's your turn." Barbossa said as Jack tussled a pendant on top of his bandanna.
"Forgive me but we are still short one Pirate Lord, Sao Feng has yet to arrive." Jack said.
"Sao Feng is dead." Elizabeth said as she and Lizzie enter the room.
"Lizzie!" Briar smiles.
"He fell to the Flying Dutchmen." Elizabeth said declaring herself a Pirate Lord.
"He made you Captain? We're just giving the bloody titles away." Jack said surprised as everyone started arguing.
"Listen to me! We've been betrayed Jones is under the command of Lord Beckett they're on their way here." Elizabeth warns.
"Who is this betrayal?"
"Surely no one among us." Barbossa said.
"Where's Will?" Elizabeth asks.
"Uh not among us." Sora said scratching his head nervously.
"What matters not how they know what matters is what we do now." Barbossa said.
"We fight." Elizabeth said causing most of the people in the room to laugh.
"Shipwreck cove is a fortress why would we fight when we are safer in these walls?"
"There be a third course, in another age in this spot the first Brethren Court captured the sea goddess Calypso and bound her in her bones, that was a mistake. Sure, we tamed the seas for ourselves, but we opened the door for Beckett. Better days upon the seas when mastery wasn't met with bargain struck but by the sweat of a man's brow and the strength of his back. You all know this to be true. Gentleman, ladies we must free Calypso." Barbossa said and instantly they were in an uproar.
"Shoot him!"
"Cut out his tongue!"
"Shoot him and cut out his tongue and then shoot his tongue." Jack suggests.
"I might have to edit some parts of this meeting out." Blondie whispers.
"Sao Feng trusted Barbossa we must free Calypso."
"Calypso was our enemy then she will be our enemy now!"
Instantly all the Pirate lords broke into fights punching and throwing each other across the rooms.
"What is this?" Cupid asks.
"This is madness." Lizzie said.
"This is politics." Jack said.
"Cool." Sora grins.
"Meanwhile our enemies are heading for us right now." Elizabeth said.
"If they're not here already." Barbossa said.
"Face it Barbossa this isn't gonna get them to listen." Jack said.
"And I suppose you have a better idea?" Barbossa asks.
"I do, Captain Twilight, Sora grab their attention." Jack said.
Summoning their keyblades the two of them fired beams of light through the roof stopping the fights instantly.
"Alright Jack all yours." Roxas said.
"Enlighten us." Riku said.
"Cuttlefish. Let us not forget the cuttlefish, pen them up together and they will devour each other without a second thought. We could stay here with all our arms and provisions and half of us will be dead within a month or as Barbossa suggests we could release Calypso and we can pray she will be merciful. I highly doubt it. So, we are left with one option I agree with and I can't believe I am saying this Captain Swann, we should fight." Jack said.
"You've always run away from a fight." Barbossa said.
"Have not." Jack said.
"Have so." Barbossa said.
"Have not."
"Have so and you know it Jack." Sora calls out remembering all the stuff he pulled at Port Royal.
"Have not. I have only embraced the noblest of Pirate traditions. We must fight so that we can run away." Jack said.
"Aye!" Sora cheers setting off the rest of the pirates to agree with Jack.
"As this be a declaration of war can only be declared by the Pirate King." Barbossa said.
"You're making this up, aren't you?" Roxas asks.
"Am I? I call on Captain Teague, keeper of the code!" Barbossa said shocking Jack as a man walks in who bared a strong resemblance to Jack.
"The Code is the Law." Teague said making his way down as tow men carried a chest holding a large book.
"So that's the Pirate Code." Sora whistles impressed.
Opening it he scans the pages. "Aye Barbossa is right."
"There has not been a Pirate King since the first court and there is very unlikely to be a second one."
"Why's that?" Cupid asks.
"You see Pirate King is awarded by popular vote." Mr. Gibbs starts.
"And each Pirate only ever votes for himself." Barbossa finishes.
"Shame you don't get a vote." Briar said looking at Roxas.
"I call for a vote." Jack said.
"I vote for Amon."
"Captain Chevale."
"Sri Sumbahjaee votes for Sumbahjee." His speaker said.
"Mistress Cheng."
"General Jokad."
"Elizabeth Swann."
"Bian River."
"Elizabeth Swann." Jack said shocking everyone.
"What?" Elizabeth said surprised.
"Well that was easy." Roxas said.
Immediately all the other Pirate Lords burst out in outrage.
"I'm sorry but are you all saying you won't be honoring the code?" Jack asks as Teague glares at all of them causing them to sit back down.
"Very well. What say you, Captain Swann?" Mistress Cheng asks.
"Prepare every vessel that floats at dawn we shall go to war." Elizabeth declares as Sri Sumbahjee stood up.
"And so we shall go to war." He said in an incredibly squeaky voice causing the Forever After Fighters to chuckle.
Barbossa looks to Ragetti and Pintel who hide the Pieces of 8 taking them out of sight.
At the Tempest, Roxas was making sure everyone was ready for battle tomorrow.
"Alright guys I want Crystal, Xion, Lea, Hunter, Melody, and Courtly on deck to fight off any intruders. Melody, Crystal you two have water Digimon so you'll be able to use them in this fight." Roxas said.
"Good idea." Melody said as she called out Kamemon, Crystal called out Gomamon and Meeshell called out Betamon.
"Everyone else will stay on the Tempest and try to shoot down as many ships as possible and make sure that the rest of us have cover." Roxas said as all of them nodded in agreement.
"We'll be staying aboard the Black Pearl; I've got a feeling those guys will need all the help they can get." Sora said.
"Knock knock." Captain Teague said climbing aboard.
"Can we help you sir?" Sora asks.
"Just wanted to see you kids off before you went to fight." Teague said looking at all of them. "So young and yet you're all willing to do this?"
"The sea is for everyone, not Beckett." Donald said.
"Truer words have never been spoken." Teague said turning to face Roxas. "You've got quite the crew Captain."
"I wouldn't trade them for the world." Roxas smiles.
"You can win tomorrow kids; may your hearts be your guiding key." Teague said before leaving the Tempest.
At dawn, many Pirate Ships were lined up alongside the Tempest and Black Pearl as they waited for the enemy to show up when a mist appeared.
Moving through the mist they saw one ship approaching.
"There they are." Briar said tightening her grip on her staff.
All of the pirates braced themselves for battle when from the mist a fleet of hundreds maybe even thousands of ships appeared shocking everyone.
"We're dead." Duchess gulps.
"Well any more bright ideas Jack?" Roxas asks.
"Uh Parley?" Jack suggests.
Meeting in the middle Jack, Elizabeth, Barbossa, Roxas, Sora, Riku and Cupid made their way to the meeting spot where they encountered Will, Beckett and Davy Jones.
"So, you be the one who led them here." Barbossa said glaring at Will.
"Don't blame Turner, he was merely the tool if you're looking for the Architect look to your left." Beckett said as they all turned to look at Jack.
"My hands are clean…figuratively." Jack said.
"Sora, I think you need new friends." Riku said.
"Just in this world anyway." Cupid said.
"My actions were my own. Jack had nothing to do with it." Will said.
"Well said, listen to the tool." Jack said.
"Jack I've been aboard the Dutchman. I understand the burden you bear but that hope is lost." Elizabeth said.
"No cause is lost if there is at least one fool willing to fight for it." Will said.
"If Turner wasn't acting on your accords than how did he come to give me this?" Beckett asks holding out Jack's compass. "You promised to hand me the pirate lords and here they are. Don't be bashful step up and claim your reward." Beckett tosses him his compass.
"You sold us out?!" Roxas glares.
"We're your friends Jack!" Sora said.
"You'll be serving 100 years aboard the Dutchman as a start." Davy Jones glares.
"I purpose an exchange. Will leaves with us and you can take Jack." Elizabeth suggests causing everyone to look at her.
"Done." Will said.
"Not done." Jack argues.
"Done." Beckett agrees.
"Jack's one of the Pirate Lords you have no power to do so." Barbossa said.
"King." Elizabeth smirks.
"As you command." Jack bows when Barbossa rips his pendant off his bandanna and takes his Piece of 8.
Davy Jones looks to Sora, Riku and Roxas. "Do you fear death?"
"I fear a lot of things, but death isn't one of them." Riku glares as Cupid puts her hand on his shoulder.
"You have a choice, you can all fight and all die or you can surrender and only most of you will die." Beckett said.
"You murdered my father." Elizabeth growls.
"He chose his fate." Beckett said.
"Then you have chosen yours, we will fight, and you will die." Elizabeth said as they made their way back to the ships.
"We can use our Digimon to start picking off ships." Roxas said suggesting a plan.
"Oh will we now?" Barbossa suggests as they bring out a tied-up Calypso.
"Tia!" Meeshell and Briar gasps.
"Barbossa, you can't release her!" Will said.
"We need to give Jack a chance." Elizabeth said.
"Apologies your highness but for too long my fate has not been in me own hands." He said taking her Piece of 8.
"I assume there is some sort of incantation?" Mr. Gibbs asks.
"Aye, first the items are to be burned." Barbossa said as he lit the items on fire. "Calypso I release you from your human bonds." He lit the items, but nothing happened.
"You didn't say it right. You got to say it right." Raegetti said as he leaned in close to Calypso. "Calypso I release you from your human bonds." He whispers seductively causing the items to be lit on fire.
"Calypso, when the first Brethren Court sealed you away who was it that betrayed you?" Will asks.
"Say his name." She said.
"Davy Jones." Will said as Calypso grew exponentially in size until she was almost as tall as the ship.
"Calypso I have honored my bargain and now ask that you spare my ship and crew but destroy all those who dare say they are your master or mine." Barbossa declares, but Calypso just smirks and lets out a roar as from her body millions of tiny white crabs fell into the sea.
"Is that it?" Cupid asks.
"What now?" Briar asks.
"Nothing. Our final hope has failed us." Barbossa said.
Meeshell paused to think about how Calypso helped her earlier when facing her fears in the water.
Briar remembered how she warned her against taking the Destiny of Davy Jones.
'She's been helping us this whole time.' They thought.
"You can't give up! We can still fight." They both said as dark clouds filled the sky and a strong wind blew.
"It's not over yet." Elizabeth said turning to face the crew. "You will all listen! The Brethren will still be looking to us, to the Black Pearl and the Tempest to lead and what will they see? Frightened bilge rats on a ship? No they will see free men and the enemy will know what we can do. By the sweat of our brows and the strength of our backs and the courage of our hearts they will know! Hoist the colors!" She declares.
"Hoist the colors!" As all the pirate ships raised their pirate flags Roxas looks in shock to see one raised on the Tempest, it had a skull with his X logo on the forehead and instead of crossbones it was two keyblades.
As the Pearl, Tempest and Dutchman advance towards each other rain poured down and lightning struck the middle of the sea creating a whirlpool.
"Maelstrom!" Mr. Gibbs calls out when from the middle of the Malestrom the Kraken appeared roaring in anger.
"Roxas! We need you to stop that thing!" Elizabeth calls out.
"Right!" Roxas looks to Meeshell. "You better get in the water along with Betamon."
"But Roxas I don't know if I can handle this." Meeshell said scared.
"Meshell you can do this, everyone on here believes in you and so do I. The only person who thinks you can't is you." Roxas said grabbing her shoulders causing her to look into his eyes. "You can do this."
Taking a bug gulp Meeshell nods. "Ready Betamon?"
"Ready." Betamon nods as they both jump overboard and into the water.
On the Tempest Gomamon and Kamemon jump overboard to join them as Meeshell changes into her mermaid form.
"Betamon digivolve to Seadramon!" In Betamon's place a large sea serpent like Digimon appeared.
"Gomamon digivolve to Ikkakumon!" A large hairy Digimon with a horn on its head appeared.
"Kamemon digivolve to Gwappamon!" Kamemon turned into a large turtle Digimon with a CD in its hair.
"This just in fans Blondie Lockes reporting to you live from inside a giant Maelstrom where the biggest pirate battle ever is about to take place between us and the Black Pearl against Davy Jones and his Kraken. How will this battle turn out? Don't touch that dial." Blondie said holding onto the helm as she recorded everything.
As the three sea Digimon rammed into the Kraken the Dutchman started firing cannons at them when a 4th ship came down from above and rams into the Tempest and Pearl knocking them all to the ground. Xion and Lizzie turn to see Luxord and the cloaked figure staring them down from opposite sides of the ship.
"Well this game just got interesting." Luxord grins when Riku turns to see the cloaked figure.
Summoning Way to Dawn he was about to charge when suddenly the Kraken swung one of its tentacles down on Cupid.
"Cupid look out!" Riku runs as fast as he could and pushes Cupid out of the way as the tentacle slams on top of his keyblade with full force causing a loud cracking sound to be heard.
Looking in shock Riku and Cupid see that the top half of Way to Dawn broke off.
"No way…my keyblade." Riku said in shock.
"Well this is pathetic. And here I thought I would get a challenge fighting you." The figure said.
"Who are you?" Cupid asks.
"Who am I? Well that's an easy one." The figure pulls back his hood and Cupid's eyes widen to see Riku under that hood. This was the Riku Replica
"Riku, but how's that possible? You're right here." Cupid said looking at the real one.
"I don't see the point in explaining since you won't be around much longer anyway." Riku Replica said summoning Soul Eater.
Standing up Riku turns to Roxas. "Roxas! I need to borrow one of your keyblades!"
"Here!" Roxas summons Oblivion and tosses it to him.
"You got my back Cupid?" Riku asks.
"Definitely!" Cupid said drawing her bow.
Running to the edge both of them grab ropes and swing across onto the ship as Lizzie and Xion do the same when they face Luxord whose eyes show interest when he sees cards in Lizzie's hands while Xion summons Sunset by the Sea.
"My it seems there's another player." Luxord said summoning his cards.
"Sorry but you're not the kind of company I play games with." Lizzie said as she throws multiple cards at Luxord.
Retaliating he grows one of his cards to the size of a shield blocking them until Xion jumps down and slams her keyblade on top of him causing him to skid backwards.
"Alright, you want to play that way? Let's play." Luxord growls.
Nearby Cupid was firing multiple arrows at Riku Replica, but he deflected them all when Riku swings Oblivion, but his replica blocks it.
"Pathetic having to rely on another's keyblade. If you really were strong you wouldn't have let yours break." Riku Replica smirks.
"It's not the Keyblade that makes the Master." Riku growls as he pushes backwards.
"You lost your greatest weapon and for what? Her?" Riku Replica said pointing at Cupid. "She needed your help because she's too weak to protect herself from anything."
"No she's not!" Riku roars running at him.
On the Tempest, Even was watching from nearby as Crystal, Courtly, Melody, Lea and Hunter were fighting off the Kraken tentacles while the Digimon and Meeshell were stopping it from underwater.
"Harpoon Torpedo!" Ikkakumon said firing a missile at the Kraken making it scream in pain before it swats Ikkakumon into the Tempest knocking Duchess to the ground and opening a closet to reveal the white fans that Ashlynn had taken.
Looking at them Duchess picks them up and realized what she had to do.
On the Dutchman, Jack was making his way out with a chest when he takes a wrong turn and comes face to face with Davy Jones and a few of his men.
"Looky here boys, a lost bird a lost bird that never learned to fly." Davy Jones mocks.
"My greatest regret, but never too late to learn." Jack said banging the chest against a rope launching him up onto the beams supporting the sails.
But like that Davy Jones appears where Jack was moving through the ship. "The chest." He orders as Jack drew his sword.
"I can set you free mate." Jack said.
"My freedom was forfeit long ago." Davy Jones said as they clashed swords.
Down below the two ships were across from each other as Heartless and Pirates swung across to the opposite ships.
Drawing Kingsglaive Roxas slices two ropes causing the Heartless to plummet.
"Firaga!" Briar said blasting one just as it landed while Sora used Flowmotion to kick another Heartless overboard.
"Elizabeth, will you marry me?" Will asks.
"I don't think now's the best time." Elizabeth said.
"Now might be the only time. I love you. I made my choice what's yours?" Will asks.
"Roxas! Barbossa! Marry us!" Elizabeth calls out.
"Seriously?! Now!" Roxas said.
"We're a little busy at the moment!" Barbossa said killing a Heartless. "You start boy!"
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to witness to the binding of these two in holy matrimony!" Roxas said while he was still fighting Heartless.
"Elizabeth Swann do you take me to be your husband?" Will asks.
"I do." Elizabeth smiles. "Do you Will Turner take me to be your wife?"
"I do." Will said.
"As Captain I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss—" Barbossa was interrupted as a Sea Lizard tried to stab him. "You may kiss—"
"Oh just kiss already!" Sora calls out as Elizabeth and Will kiss sealing their marriage causing Roxas, Briar and Sora to smile happy for them but the moment was ruined when they heard Blondie scream.
Looking over they saw an Anchor Raider approaching her ready to attack as Blondie stepped back in fear.
"Blondie!" Briar gasps as it brought its sword down to stab her but at the last second a large blue shield blocked the attack.
Blondie looks to her savior to see that it was Even.
"Wait, I know you." Blondie realized.
Pushing back Even slashes the Anchor Raider with his shield destroying it.
"Even?" Roxas said surprised as Even turns to them. "What are you doing here?"
"Saving your friend? What does it look like?" Even said.
"I'll get you for destroying our base!" Briar growls.
"Hate me all you want I deserve it, but that chest could be what we're looking for if it is you must not let the others get it." Even said before disappearing.
"What would they want with the Heart of Davy Jones?" Roxas asks.
"Hey guys! We gotta help Jack!" Sora calls out pointing to the fight on the Dutchman.
With the three of them grabbing a rope they swing across to the other ship and land directly below Jack and Davy Jones when suddenly the ships locked sails causing Jack to fall.
"No!" Davy Jones gasps grabbing the chest with Jack still holding onto it. Growing in anger he throws Jack off.
"We gotta get that chest!" Roxas said.
"I'm on it!" Sora said using flowmotion to run up the sail and kicks Davy Jones in the face causing him to drop the chest into Roxas' arms.
Growling Davy Jones turns to Sora who had Favorite Deputy out. "This is why I hate kids." Davy Jones said.
"Well I hate people who mess with my friends." Sora said as the two of them clashed swinging their weapons at each other back in forth.
"It's useless boy even if you have the chest, you'll never open it without the key." Davy Jones said.
"I already have a key." Sora smirks.
"No, you don't." Davy Jones said showing the real key.
"Made you look." Sora smirks as he transforms Favorite Deputy into a hammer and smashes it into Davy Jones knocking him off the sails and onto the deck.
Groaning in pain he looks up to see Roxas holding his chest and Briar holding the key. Jones was about to get up when he heard Sora calling out to him.
"Hey Jones! Look out below!" Sora yells as he smashes his hammer on top of him sending him crashing through the deck.
"Nice one." Briar smiles when Jones burst out of the door nearby seriously pissed off. "Uh oh." She said drawing her staff.
"When I'm done with you your souls will be locked in my locker for eternity!" Davy Jones said drawing his sword.
"Sorry Squid face but I'm not going back there. Aeroga!" Briar fires a strong gust of wind which blew towards Davy Jones, but he uses his crab hand to grab onto the ship to prevent him from flying off.
Yanking his arm up he pulls a board off the ship and throws it at Briar canceling her spell and making her stagger back.
Swinging his sword Briar blocks it with her staff as Davy Jones goes on the offensive making her move backwards before they locked weapons.
"Give up and give me that key." Davy Jones orders.
"Never!" Briar yells pushing back and aiming her staff at his chest. "Blizzaga!" Hitting him with a powerful blast of ice Briar freezes Davy Jones in place. "Try getting out of that." She smirks when Davy Jones moves through it.
Swinging his crab arm Briar ducks and almost slips on the wet deck. "Wait a minute." Looking to Davy Jones she noticed he was soaked to the bone. "Thundaga Shot!" Releasing a large ball of electricity, it zaps Davy Jones causing him to scream in pain as the water intensifies the attack.
Swinging her staff Briar whacks him in the face but one of his tentacles grabs it after impact surprising her. Growling Davy Jones swings his claw knocking Briar to the ground before throwing her staff to the side.
Drawing his sword, he makes his way towards Briar causing her to back up in fear when the Kingsglaive keyblade flies in front of him and Roxas warps to it and whacks Davy Jones in the face with the keyblade and the chest knocking Davy Jones to the ground.
"You okay Briar?" Roxas asks helping her up.
"Much better now." She smiles.
"Get your staff I'll handle him." Roxas said as Briar runs off and grabs her staff.
"What's this? A little boy trying to play Pirate?" Davy Jones mocks.
"I am a Pirate." Roxas said taking a fighting stance.
"Ice Blast!" Seadramon said as he blasts the Kraken with a block of ice knocking it backwards.
Swinging its tentacles, it wraps around Seadramon and slams him underwater.
"Seadramon!" Meeshell gasps as she dives after her Digimon.
On the Tempest, Courtly smashes her mallet onto one of the tentacles causing the Kraken to grab her.
As Courtly screamed in pain Duchess came out from inside the ship. "Hey ugly! Put my friend down!" Duchess said as she threw the fan with all her might which flew towards the tentacle cutting the Kraken causing it to let go of Courtly.
"Are you okay?" Duchess asks running out to her.
"Just fine thanks to you." Courtly smiles.
"Gwappamon slow that thing down!" Melody calls out.
"DJ Shooter!" Gwappamon fires the CD from its head and it slices two of the tentacles off the Kraken making it scream in pain.
From underwater Meeshell looks up to see the beast trying to destroy her friends.
"I gotta stop that thing, but how? That thing is so strong." Meeshell said when a white crab floated towards her and from it an illusion of Calypso appeared. "Calypso?"
"Remember a mermaid is never afraid when she is in her element. In the water you are the one who is in control." Calypso said offering Meeshell her hand.
Reaching out Meeshell takes it and her body starts to glow green. "Now swim my child swim as fast as you can." Calypso said.
Nodding Meeshell started to swim around the Maelstrom as fast as her fins could take her. Holding out her orb behind her she uses it as a booster and swims even faster as she started to glow green.
"Calypso's Rage!" Meeshell screams as she leaps out of the water and pierces the Kraken impaling it through the chest and coming out the other side making the Kraken scream in pain as it sinks to the bottom of the maelstrom.
Crashing onto the deck of the Tempest Meeshell groans in pain as she tries to get up but was weak in the legs or fins.
"Meeshell!" Apple said running to her. "Curaga!" Apple summons her staff healing her.
Across on the other ship Lizzie and Xion were doing their best to dodge Luxord's attacks as he throws multiple cards at them.
Cartwheeling out of the way Lizzie slashes some cards in half with her arm blade when Luxord appears in front of her and kicks over the side of the ship causing her to dangle for her life.
"Lizzie!" Xion gasps when Luxord knocks her backwards banging against the ship.
As Lizzie tries to pick herself up when Luxord appeared looking down at her.
"To quote the great Captain Davy Jones, do you fear death?" Luxord smirks about to stomping on one of her hands causing her to scream in pain.
"Off with your head!" Lizzie screams in defiance.
Picking herself up Xion looks to see Luxord about to stomp Lizzie again. Aiming her keyblade at him she aims it at Luxord.
"Ragnarok!" Xion yells as multiple blasts shoot out hitting Luxord in the back causing him to fall to the ground as Xion runs over to help Xion up.
Looking up Luxord sees the two girls pointing their weapons at him.
"You are beaten Luxord. Game over." Xion glares causing Luxord to chuckle.
"Sorry but I'm not the kind of person that gets taken out early in the game." Luxord said as cards spin around him taking him to the helm of the ship before disappearing in a dark portal. "We'll settle this game later; I've got all the time in the world."
Across from them on the upper deck Riku Replica was swinging Soul Eater at Cupid who was ducking and weaving out of the way. Ducking under his swing she shoots an arrow grazing his side causing Riku Replica to flinch in pain before back handing her knocking her onto the deck.
"Like I said, complete weakling." Riku Replica said when at the last minute Riku swings in on a rope and grabs Cupid pulling her out of the way.
"Don't let him talk to you like that. I've seen you fight Cupid. You're one of the strongest people I've ever met." Riku assured her.
Cupid looks at Riku's honest face and smiles.
"I got an idea, but I'll need your help." Cupid said.
Smiling Riku takes her hand causing her to blush. "You got it." Riku smiles.
Cupid holds out her bow which grows three times in size as Riku loads Oblivion into the bow and darkness surrounds it.
"Dark Arrow!" Cupid and Riku yell as they fire Oblivion piercing Riku Replica in the shoulder causing to almost fall overboard when Even appears behind him and grabs him.
"We must retreat for now." Even said.
"Ugh fine." Riku Replica groans as they disappear through a dark portal.
Riku and Cupid look at each other and then realize they were still holding hands. Blushing the two of them let go as they, Lizzie and Xion swing back onto the Tempest.
Swinging from the Pearl on to the Dutchman, Will lands on deck to see Roxas and Davy Jones fighting. As Roxas tries to keep up with him Davy Jones knocks the chest out of his hands but as he tries to grab it Roxas kicks Davy Jones in the face knocking him away from the chest.
Seeing it completely unguarded Will ran and picked up the chest as he ran off with it Bootstrap Bill Turner whacks him in the face causing Will to drop the chest.
"Dad! It's me Will! Your son!" Will said trying to knock some sense into him but Bill was still under the control of the Dutchman.
As Davy Jones and Roxas were clashing weapons Roxas suddenly felt Oblivion come back into his hand. Grinning he swings both his keyblades whacking Jones multiple times knocking him to the floor near the chest.
Davy Jones looks up and was about to grab it when Jack comes in and pulls the chest out of his grip. Following Jack around the ship Roxas, Briar and Sora tackle holding his arms and from the back to keep him from going after Jack but Jones lets out a roar as he threw them off him and as Briar fell the key to the chest fell out of her pocket landing next to Jack.
Davy Jones makes his way towards the chest when Elizabeth swings in and blocks him.
"Harridan! You'll get no mercy from me!" Davy Jones declared.
"That's why I brought this!" Elizabeth said drawing her sword.
Will knocks Bootstrap to the side of the ship but just as he was about to deal the finishing blow Davy Jones knocks Elizabeth to the ground.
"I'm not going to kill you. I made you a promise." Will said before going after Davy Jones and literally stabbing him through the back of the chest.
"Mister. Did you forget? I'm a Heartless wretch!" Davy Jones said before kicking Will backwards.
Looking to Will and Elizabeth he then realized the bond between those two.
"Ah love. A dreadful bond and so easily severed." Davy Jones said making his way towards Will.
"Back off!" Jones turns to see Sora, Roxas and Briar glaring at him.
"It'll take a lot more than just you to break a bond like that." Sora said.
"And what do whelps like you know of the heart?" Davy Jones asks.
"These whelps have seen far more of the world than you know." Jack said.
"Whatever. Tell me William Turner: do you fear death?" Davy Jones asks.
"Do you?" Jack asks.
Davy Jones turns around to see Davy Jones' Heart in his hand.
'So, this is what they meant by heart. Guess Even was chasing the wrong box this whole time.' Roxas thought.
"Heady tonic, holding life and death in the palm of one's hand." Jack said.
"You're a cruel man, Jack Sparrow." Davy Jones said.
"Cruel is a matter of perspective." Jack said.
"Is it?" Everyone's eyes widen as Davy Jones stabs Will in chest with his sword.
Letting out a scream of rage Sora and Roxas tackle Davy Jones and punch him multiple times while Briar runs over to Will with her staff.
"Curaga!" Briar said trying to heal him as Elizabeth makes her way over.
"Will stay with me! Look at me. Look at me!" Elizabeth said as Will turns to her.
"Elizabeth…I love you." Will confesses.
"I love you too." Elizabeth said with tears in her eyes.
"Briar." Will said turning to face her. Reaching to the ground he pulls up his sword and holds it out to her. "You are a true warrior…I bequeath this sword to you." Will said shocking her.
The second Briar's hands touched the sword Will's hand dropped.
"William." Bootstrap said in shock as he snaps out of it to see his own son die.
As Jones throws Roxas and Sora off him Bootstrap runs in and punches Jones in the face.
Jack looks down at the heart and was about to stab it when Briar calls out to him. "Jack! It's not about living forever. It's about living with yourself forever."
Hearing those words ring inside of him Jack knew what had to be done.
Picking himself up Bootstrap, Roxas and Sora have their fists up ready to beat the living hell out of Davy Jones.
"You will not forestall my judgement!" Davy Jones declares when suddenly someone stabs his heart. Turning around he saw that Jack had used Will's hand to stab the heart.
"Calypso." Davy Jones said as he fell overboard, and the ships started to separate.
"She's dragging us down! Make quick or it's the locker for us all!" Barbossa calls out.
"Briar can't you heal him?" Sora asks.
"I tried." Briar frowns.
"Part of the ship, part of the crew. The Dutchman must always have a captain." Bootstrap said.
"Come on we gotta go!" Jack said grabbing Sora and Elizabeth while Roxas grabs Briar's hand and they escaped the Flying Dutchman as it sank with Will still on board.
Escaping the Maelstrom all of them fall into the water to which Meeshell swims ahead waving for the Pearl and Tempest to come get them as she pulls them out of the water.
"Thank goodness Jack, the armada is still out there, the Endeavor is coming up hard to starboard and I think it's high time we embrace the oldest and noblest of pirate traditions." Mr. Gibbs said.
"Never actually been one for tradition." Jack said. "In we go!"
From the Endeavour all the cannon holes open up.
"It's nothing personal Jack, it's just good business." Beckett said when the Dutchman rose back out of the sea.
All of them looked in horror until they saw Will standing at the wheel as captain. "Ready on the guns!"
Roxas smiles as he signals his ship to do the same.
"Full Canvas!" Jack yells.
"Aye, Full canvas!" Barbossa agrees.
Beckett watched as the three pirate ships surrounded him from all sides.
"Ready? Fire!" Jack yells.
"Fire!" Roxas yells.
"Fire!" Barbossa yells.
"Fire!" Will yells.
"Fire!" Sora yells.
"Fire!" Elizabeth yells as they completely annihilate the Endeavor.
"It's just…good business." Beckett said as his last words before his ship was destroyed.
Everyone cheers as they had won the battle and the armada had retreated.
"We did it!" Sora said as he and Sora high fived when two lights formed in their hands. In Sora's hand the Wheel of Fate Keyblade appeared but Roxas' was different. It has a guard with the same design and texture of the Dead Man's Chest, a skull resembling Jack Sparrow on the center of the guard, and instead of the mast of the Black Pearl with a wheel as the teeth, this one has a different blade and teeth design. The blade is made from the design of the key to the Chest, except, if you look closely, two swords make up the prongs, one of them being Jack's Sword and the other being Barbossa's sword. The teeth are made to resemble the flags of Pearl and the Dutchman, the chain of keychain is made up of skulls and at the end of it was Jack's compass.
"Whoa, now that's a weapon." Pintel said looking at it.
"Worthy of a Pirate King." Raegetti said.
"Pirate King huh? I like the sound of that." Roxas said holding up his new keyblade.
Walking up to Elizabeth Roxas gestures to the Tempest. "Would you like a lift to shore?"
"Jack, everyone…thank you." Elizabeth said as they boarded the Tempest and headed to shore.
"Hey kids!" Jack calls out getting their attention. "May your Hearts be your Guiding keys." He said causing them all to smile.
Upon arrival, Will was waiting for them.
"Uh Elizabeth before you and Will have your moment together. I need to do something." Briar said as she ran ahead to Will.
"Briar?" Will asks confused as she takes out his sword.
"Here, I figured you should have it back seeing as well you know you're not dead anymore." Briar said.
"I've passed the sword onto you, it's new rightful owner. I can't take it back." Will smiles as Briar looks at it. "You'll do me proud if you kept it."
Briar takes out the sword sheath and attaches it to her belt and nods before walking back to the Tempest.
"You know, that's a pretty good look for you." Roxas said looking at the sword.
Smiling Briar leans in and kisses him as the Tempest takes off into the sky.
In the weapons room Riku places the broken pieces of Way to Dawn on a shelf when Cupid walks in.
"Hey you okay?" Cupid asks.
"I'll be fine." Riku sighs.
"I'm sorry I cost you your keyblade." Cupid said.
"Well you're a little more important than my keyblade…but just a little." Riku smirks causing Cupid to giggle as she leans in and kisses him on the cheek causing Riku to blush as she walks away.
Nearby Meeshell was sitting down thinking about how much Calypso helped her when Roxas walked over to her.
"Hey is this seat taken?" Roxas asks.
"Go ahead." Meeshell said as Roxas sat down next to her.
"I just wanted to thank you for saving all of us when the Dutchman sank. If you didn't find us, I don't know what would have happened." Roxas said.
"Well I was happy to help." Meeshell said.
"Meeshell, you are probably the bravest mermaid I've ever met and…I'm really glad to have you in my life." Roxas said causing her to blush.
"Uh Roxas I have something I need to tell you." Meeshell said as he turns to her. "You are an amazing person. You helped me overcome my stage fright, gave me the courage and helped me in ways I never thought was possible. I-I love you Roxas." Meeshell said surprising him as Meeshell leans in and kisses him on the lips.
"And so another girl joins Roxas' harem." Brooke giggles.
Here's a hint for the next world: In the coming day an evil Swan Princess will usher in an age of despair and lay waste to the Earth and its creatures.
