Chapter Ten.
With Singapore was now filled with structure fires, quite a few people, who were now deceased were either missing in action, on the board walks or even in the water and other disasters were now left behind them, Hector, Isabella, the Priestess and Jack's crew men a long with some of Sao Feng's men came with them and they were now on their way to Davy Jones' Locker to rescue Jack Sparrow.
On Lord Beckett's ship, one of the pieces of eight coins was now being brought in to Cutler Beckett's hands. He held it in to his hand and he was examining it. And there was certainly the Dead Man's Chest on Beckett's desk as well. "A piece of eight. Nine of them you say?" He asked him when he looked up at him with interest.
Mercer sighed. It was a long trip for him of course. "Our friend in Singapore was very specific, sir. Exactly Nine Pieces of Eight." He told his boss.
Beckett smiled wickedly at this. "And what is the significance of that I wonder?" He asked him this question.
Mercer raised his eye brows. "There is nothing can hold against the Armada. And not with the Flying Dutchman in the lead." He said with the nod of his head. Cutler Beckett asked him about where the Pirates were going to meet. Mercer told him that the person did not tell him. "Sir, there is also a woman with these Pirates." He told him.
Beckett's raised his eye brows and he grinned from ear to ear in interest at his words and so, he asked him. "I saw this woman with them and she happens to be a witch with two sticks in to her hands. She said some thing that I could not under stand just before I saw things coming out of them like fire works towards the men." He said and every single person in that room on his ship, including Govenor Swann looked at him like, 'what in the world are you talking about?' Looks on their faces.
Cutler looked down and he cocked his head to the side and he grinned from ear to ear wickedly. "Well, Mr. Mercer, When we come around to seek and destroy the Pirates and this 'woman'. We will." He said to him when he saw Govenor Swann sitting at his desk, writing in some paper work. Beckett wanted these Pirates dead. But he was wondering about this woman that Mercer was talking about.
And just then, Cutler saw James Norrington walked in. "Ah, Admiral." He said. Norrington was now promoted back down to Admiral instead of being Commadore. James had to accept the fact of this. For the time being. Norrington looked over at him with a look of a mixture of disappointment and he can not stand the man look on his face. But he knew that he had to follow the rules by him.
Cutler told James that there was a sword that he had before was now in the case. Norrington walked over to where Beckett told hom to and James slowly opened up the case and he saw the sword that he had in the past was now back in to his hands. James lifted up the sword and took it out of it's holster and he stared at it for the moment. Govenor Swann saw Norrington with the sword in his hand and Weatherby was now fearing the worst for his daughter.
James had not seen his sword in like in a very long time. Years maybe. It takes a long time to get promoted from the low rank to a higher rank. "The Brethren and this woman know exactly that they and she would face extinction. And all that is left is for them and her to decide as to where they will make their final stand." He added before he looked up at Mercer. Govenor Swann was thinking about Elizabeth and he hoped that she would be all right in one piece.
On the ship named, the Hei Peng, Jack the monkey was shivering from the cold and the snow flakes were coming down suddenly from the sky. They were on their way directly to Davy Jones' Locker to save Jack. In the back of the ship, there were Elizabeth, Joshamee Gibbs, Isabella Morgan and Hector. Barbossa was the one steering. They all watched when Izzy pointed her one wand and she waved it to cast a warming charm over them.
After she casted the charm, Isabella nodded her head in accomplishment. She placed her wand back up her long sleeve shirt. "Well, that would hold for all of us for the time being." She told them. The snow and the frost were melted a way. Hector looked down at her and he gave her a soft loving smile. Izzy smiled back over towards him and she stepped up to him and she wrapped her arms around his waist. Isabella looked at him. "At least we are warm from the cold for now, Hector." She added. Barbossa held her closer in response.
Gibbs and Elizabeth saw this and they smiled at the sight right in front of them.
Pintel and Ragetti were shivering at first, but then, they felt the warmth covering them. They figured out that Isabella casted the warm charm to keep them warm. Tia Dalma was pacing back and forth, thinking for what the next move would be. Pintel was in a way glaring at her and he was the first to speak. "Why didn't that obeah woman just bring back Jack the way she and Madam Morgan brought back Barbossa?" He asked in a whisper that he hoped that Tia could not hear.
But the Priestess heard Pintel's words loud and clear. "Because Barbossa was only dead." She told him in a cold voice. Pintel was shocked that she had heard him and she was standing next to him. So, Pintel ad Ragetti looked over at Tia with wide eyes. "Jack Sparrow was taken body and soul ta a place not of death, but punishment." She said with the cold stare. "De worst fate a person can conjure for himself, going on for ever. And dat is what a what's in Davy Jones's Locker." She added coldly and firmly before she walked a way.
Right near by, Will Turner and Tai Huang were figuring out the Navigational charts. Will looked confused while he looked and he moved the circles. And then, Will saw some thing interesting and he also found that there were more places to go. One of them said. 'Over the edge, over again.' And another one said. 'Sun rise sets, flash of green.' Turner saw this and he and Tai rolled up the charts and walked over to where Hector, Isabella, Gibbs and Elizabeth were at.
Will gave Barbossa the charts and he and Izzy looked over it. "Care to interpret from the charts, Captain Barbossa?" He asked him with a glare and a sneer. Isabella looked at Turner and she knew that he never liked Hector, but he knew that he had to work with him to get to rescue Jack from Davy Jones' Locker. Izzy gave Will the look of, 'don't even start fighting over what ever it is.' look on her face. Turner under stood her so, he kept quiet about it.
Hector and Isabella both lowered the charts and he looked at Will. "Ever a gazed upon the green flash, Master Gibbs?" He asked him when he and Izzy turned their heads over towards him. Isabella loved hearing Gibbs' Pirate and the sea stories.
Gibbs was more than happy to. "I've reckon I've seen my fair share." He said when he looked down at Will. Turner glanced over at Elizabeth, who she looked back at him. Gibbs kept speaking the story. "It happens on a rare occasion at the last glimpse of the sun set. A green flash shoots up in to the sky. Some can go their whole lives and they never see it. And some would claim to have seen it. And some say..." He said when he was interrupted.
Pintel was the one he interrupted Gibbs. "And some say that it signals when the soul comes back to this world from the dead." Pintel finished the sentence for Joshamee with a grin. But Gibbs gave him the glare. Pintel and Ragetti saw this and they winced. "Sorry." He added with an apology before he and Ragetti walked a way.
Elizabeth stood up and Will saw her walking over the rail on the starboard side and she just stared out a head. She still feels guilty for placing Jack Sparrow to the Kraken. Turner was concerned for her, but he did not know that she had put Jack in to Davy Jones' Locker.
Will looked over back to Barbossa. "Ye see, Master Turner? We will find a way. It's not gettin' ta the land of the dead is the problem. It's gettin' back." He said before they sailed straight in to the shaded area and they saw this tall cave like before they sailed in to the darkened cave.
