Hey guys and dolls I have returned with a new chapter for you all.
Sorry if it took me a while. I just got a new job and I have been a bit busy trying to get situated.
My schedule is a big one, like a 10-hour shift…so posting new chapters might be a bit slower than usual. Sorry guys.
Speaking of pirates, did you all see the new chapter of One Piece? So apparently the new Admiral is a Forest Human? I swear Devil Fruits are so weird….but still it was nice to see the retainers try to fight him off, despite not being as strong as him. I can't believe Cobra did, he was a good character, and the revolutionaries somehow freed Kuma, yay! And Sabo is benignly called the Flame Emperor? If you ask me, he should have been one of the Emperors rather than Buggy, but that's just me. And Vivi has disappeared? I hope she is alright!
Now that I got that out of my system, let's continue with the story.
To RonaldM40196867: Thank you. I don't know about new equipment, I mean they got new ones from the fairies so…I don't think so about Atlantis. Me being a pirate? Maybe, but I would want to be one similar to Luffy from One Piece, go on adventures and make new friends, rather than just glory.
To Jacob9594: I know. Jaune struggling with darkness is a major plot point in this story, thank you. I figured that with this series, I should at least try to expand on some of the worlds, Port Royal being one of them.
To Nesthor5000: Thank you. Huh, interesting information. I do have some other plans for Ozma to being connecting to some other worlds here in the story, not a lot but some.
Anyway here we are as we see everybody head on to the Isla De Muerta.
Kingdom Hearts belongs to Tetsuya Nomura, Shinji Hashimoto, Disney, and Square Enix.
RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and creator Monty Oum (R.I.P.)
Isla De Muerta
It took the crew practically all day and night, but they were only able to reach the island known as Isla De Muerta (Island of death) the following day. The area surrounding the island was all foggy, and the sky was gray. In addition to it all, there were some pieces of ships that either submerged in the water or floated up top.
Donald was shaking a bit as he held onto Goofy, who was also shaking a bit.
"G-gwarsh…sure is s-spooky!" the dog knight said as the two held each other tightly. Some of the others weren't as afraid, but the entire sight was still a bit creepy to them.
"So…this Barbossa guy," Sora said to Gibbs. "Who is he exactly? Seems like the captain has some beef with him."
Biggs sighed and nodded his head. "Aye lad, Jack and Barbossa have a history, and that was before I met him when he was captain of the Black Pearl."
That was when the company had shocked looks of surprise on their faces, the Pearl belonged to Jack? They didn't know that, nor did Jack even mention it.
Gibbs then continued. '`You see, three days out in the venture, Jack's first mate says to him 'Everything's an equal share, and that includes the location of the island too.' So Jack gave up the bearings." Everyone then looked at where Jack was, who was still eying hsi compass. "But at night, there was a mutiny on board. They marooned Jack on an island and left him to die, but not before he went mad from the heat."
They all looked at Jack and from what Gibbs mentioned, it did seem to make some sense. "Huh, I guess that explains the weirdness, facial expressions, and hand signals." Sun said, with the others nodding their heads in agreement.
Gibbs however shook his head. "Reasons and whatnot have nothing to do with it." He said to them, "Listen closely. When a pirate's marooned, he or she is given a pistol with a single shot, just one." He said as he had his one index finger to emphasize. "Now one shot will do you no good for hunting and what else. But after three weeks of starving and thirst, that shot started looking pretty friendly, it did."
The others looked shocked, just one shot, and used it for killing himself? What a cruel fate. "Oh my god!" Ortensia said with shock.
Gibbs nodded his head. "Aye lass, but Jack was able to escape that island, and he still has that pistol with a single shot. But he refuses to use it. Only for one man…his mutinous first mate." He said.
And then that was when the realization hit in with everybody else, the first mate…the one who let JAck on the island…it was…
"Barbossa!" They exclaimed with shock, with Gibbs nodding his head. It all made sense now, why Jack was eager to go after the Pearl. He did not just want his ship back, but he was going to settle a score with Barbossa.
"So from what I heard, Barbossa got too greedy and decided that Jack was not making the location fast enough then? That's the reason for the betrayal?" Max asked.
Gibbs nodded his head, it made sense now…
"But wait, I have a question." Ruby said. "How exactly did Jack get off of that island?" That was one question everybody else was wondering as well.
Gibbs then smirked at them all. "Well you see, he waited out into the shadows and waited three days and three nights till all manner of sea creatures came acclimated to his presence." He said to them, "And on the fourth morning, he had roped a couple of sea turtles, wrapped them together, and made a raft!"
Well….that story is a bit…well…what's the word? Well anyway, there were some mixed reactions, but the main one? Well..
"Wow!" Ruby, Sora, and Stitch said in unison. "He actually did that?" Ruby asked with amazement.
"How did he do it though? Can he communicate with them?" Sora asked.
The ones who were more reactive looked at the scene and sweatdropped. "Yea, I don't think that's what really happened…" Sun muttered, Will and the others agreed as well.
"Ok…uh…if he got them together…" Oswald said. "What did he use for rope?" He asked. And that made Gibbs stop, and the rabbit smirked a bit.
"*Ahem*" Everybody turned to see Jack standing over them, eyeing them all with keen eyes. "With human hair…from right on my own back." He said. This made the others look at him a bit weirdly though.
"Not even going to comment." They all thought as they sweatdropped a bit. Jack then called the crew to lower the anchor and they all did.
"Will and I'll be going to the Island, the rest of you will stay here and guard the ship." He said and the entire crew all cheered, and Jack and Will both got into a lifeboat that was lowered into the water, when the boat hit, the two were now off, leaving the crew to do..whatever.
"Hey Gibbs," Jaune said to the older man. "What exactly is on this Island? I overheard Jack say something about a medallion and figure that it might have something to do with this place."
Gibbs nodded and had the travelers sit down. "You see lads and lasses, on that island, there is a treasure that is said to have been cursed by the Aztec gods. A large chest of medallions, Barbossa and his crew took them…but little did they know that apparently, the curse was real." He said to them with dread.
This brought a big shock to the whole group, a cursed treasure? That was crazy! "So..what exactly does this curse…do?" Goofy asked, a bit unnerved.
Gibbs then shook his head. "I feel like you should be willing to look for yourselves, but alas, it is a terrible curse indeed." He drew.
Isla De Muerta/Treasure Cove
Barbossa and his crew were leading Elizabeth to an area deep on the island. An area that was a sight to behold, and made Luxord look a bit surprised. For it was a room that was surrounded by massive amounts of treasure. Treasure beyond the eye can see, that ranged from goblets to silver, to whatever.
All the crew members began to dump the reassure in different piles, one from each chest they had taken it from.
However there were two members of the undead crew that were dumping out clothes rather than gold and silver, these were Pintel and Ragetti, and despite being members of a vicious pirate crew, these two were…well…not that very bright.
"I tell ya, we're going to get rich once we get rid of this curse." Pintel said as his friend grabbed a parasol from the pile and twirled it around. "And once we do so, you could possibly buy yourself an eye that's actually made of glass."
Ragtime then nodded and he got a bit upset. "Sometimes it gets a bit so…irritated." He said as he then began to rub it, with Pintel telling him to stop rubbing it.
"By the way, what do you think? Pintel said, getting the other man's attention. "About the captain gaining those weird creatures into our crew?"
"Well..I don't know, but there is no denying that they are very creepy, especially that man with the black hood." He said as they both nodded in agreement. With one member looking at them and sighing in annoyance, why did they have to get the weird ones?
Meanwhile, Barbossa and Luxord were walking up to the middle of the cavern, where there was a large stone chest right in middle with it gleaming in the light, and Elizabeth was in Luxords grasp.
Luxord looked at the stone with some confusion and looked at Barbossa. "So, if you don't mind me asking….what is this?" He asked.
Barbossa then looked at the organization member and smirked. "You'll see." He said as he then rallied his entire crew together and all of them stood together as they saw their captain stand on the gavel. "MEN!" He shouted loud and clear for all to hear. "Today….is the day!"
"YEA!" The crew all shouted.
"Our salvation is nigh, and our torment is at an end!" He was then met with more cheers from the crew. "For ten years we have been tested and tried, and each and every one of us has proved our mettle a hundred times over and a hundred times again!"
And he was met with more cheers as Regettie mentions that he has suffered. Barbossa nodded in agreement, suffering we have! Punished we were! And the cause?" He asked as he lifted his foot and kicked the cover off of the chest, revealing a bunch of gold medallions, the cursed treasure of Cortes himself. The sight made Elizabeth and Luxord look with shock and awe, well more on Elizabeth's part, Luxord looked a bit surprised.
"Hmm, so that is the cursed medallions, drawn by the darkness of Barbossa and his crew." He thought.
Barbossa then brushed his fingers on the gold and addressed the treasure as Cortes S. "Every last piece we have returned, save for the one around the girl's neck!" More cheers were heard.
Meanwhile, Jack and Will had both snuck into the caves and were watching it all. Will was about to go right now to save her, but he was stopped by Jack, who wanted to wait till the right opportunity. But Will wasn't having any of it.
"Oh, and when is that?" Will asked in anger. "When it is of great profit to you?" He asked.
Jack sighed and rolled his eyes as he looked at the blacksmith again. "Let me ask you something, have I ever given you a reason not to trust me?"
"You did cheat during our duel back in Port Royal…" Will thought as he glared at the pirate.
Jack then looked at him again. "Listen, I know ts going to be difficult for you, but stay here…and try not to do anything stupid, savy?" He asked as he then went off by himself.
As Jack made his way to do..whatever, he was still spying on Barbossa, giving off his speech to the crew, but before he could go any farther.
BONK
Jack went flying onto the ground, due to Will hitting him right in the face with an oar, and knocking him out.
"Sorry Jack," Will said as he tossed the pear down, ``but I'm not your leverage!" He said as he then went on his own way.
Then we see Luxord gab Elizabeth's left hand and force it open and his holding on so she wouldn't move, and Barbossa grabbed a bone knife from his pocket as the crew cheated out the world 'blood'
"You know what I'm going to do after the curse is lifted?" Barbossa asked. "First thing I'm going to do is eat a whole bushel of apples." He said with a grin.
Luxird then glared at him. "Barbossa, do not forget our agreement." He said, but Barbossa grinned again.
"Do not fear, you shall get your reward, but first." He said as he then ripped the medallion off of Elizabeth's neck and grabbed the knife and sliced her palm, causing her to wince in pain, he then took the medallion and placed it in her hand and he squeezed it shut so that the blood could leak onto it.
"Finally!" Barbossa said to his crew. "The blood shall be repaid, and free us all of this curse, FOREVER!" He said as the crew shouted cheers of joy and he finally made Elizebeth drop the medallion, its blood coating half of it and the piece dropped down into the rest of them, cladding into it all.
Barbossa and the rest of the crew smiled, after so many years, they would finally be free to eat, drink, and enjoy the many pleasures to their heart's content. Elizabeth then took to her holding her hand while Luxord looked on with intrigue. But after a few minutes, everyone looked at eachother with confusion, did it work?
That's what some others thought and Pintel asked how they knew, Barbossa then answered by taking his flintlock and shooting him in the chest where his heart should be at.
"Hey, you're not dead!" A crewmate said to the other pirates.
"Yea!" Pintel said with a grin, but it then quickly diminished as he looked at Barbossa. "You shot me!"
"The curse is still upon us!" Another crewmate shouted as the entire crew all shouted in anger and annoyance.
Barbossa then looked at the blood and growled, this wasn't possible. He got his target…the blood….the blood. He then went over and roughly grabbed Elizabeth. "You, maid! Was your father William Turner?" He asked.
"No," the woman said bravely with a defiant look.
This made the undead pirate angry, for many years they had searched for ht medallions, and they finally found the last one, and the woman who claims to be the daughter of Bootstrap Bill….was actually not the one!
SLAP
Elizabeth went flying after getting slapped by Barbossa and she went landing nearby in a pile of treasure, with the medallion following in suit.
Luxord paid no attention and turned his attention to the medallions. "Is it possible for that one to have been fake?" He asked.
Barbossa then looked at the cloaked man. "No, that medallion is as real as gold. It just doesn't make any sense though.
"YOU!" Both men turned to see a crewmember by the name of Bo'sun angrily glaring at both Pintel and Ragetti. "You brought us the wrong person!"
Both of the pirates then looked a bit nervous. "Not true!" Pintel said. "She had the medallion! And she is the proper age!"
"Not just that, but she said her name was Turner as well," Ragetti said.
This led all the crew members to murmur or groan in anger and annoyance.
Another crewmate by the name of Twigg glared at Barbossa. "You brought us all here for nothing!" He said with some of the crew nodding in agreement.
But Barbossa was not afraid and glared hard at him. "I will not take second-guesses from the likes of you Mr. Twigg!"
"Who's to blame then?" A crewmate named Koehler said with anger as he glared angrily at Barbossa. "Every decision that you have made has only made things go from bad to worse!" The others agreed with him and one even mentioned how it was Barbossa who sent Bootstrap to the depths.
"And it was you, who brought us here in the first place!" Bo'sun said as everyone got out their weapons, but Barbossa was not intimidated and he got his sword and snapped his fingers, summoning a bunch of Pirate, Air Pirate, and Soldier Heartless.
"Any coward who dares come up and fight me, do it now!" He said, challenging everybody who wants to dare face him head-on. And it was all at a standstill.
*SCREECH SCREECH*
Barbossa and the rest of the crew all turned to see Jack (the monkey, not the pirate) screeching and pointing his fingers at two figures leaving the scene, Barbossa then looked down to see that Elizabeth was gone, along with the medallion, and he was shocked.
"THE MEDALLION! She's taken it!" He exclaimed with shock. "Afte them you ingrate!" He called out to the rest of the crew.
Meanwhile, Luxord was looking at hsi cards and could see Sora and the rest onboard the Interceptor. "All I can do is leave it up to fate." He said as he snapped his fingers.
(Eyecatch featuring Sora and Jack Sparrow standing back-to-back.)
(Eyecatch featuring Will and Elizabeth sitting together.)
The Interceptor
Sora and the rest of the light travelers simply lazed around, waiting for Jack and Will to return with Elizabeth. Donald and Goofy had fallen asleep, Sun was looking out at sea, reminiscing about the time he got on the boat to follow Blake, and which also led to the both of them taking down a Sea Feilong.
Sora felt a bit tired, who knew that it was going to take so long to rescue someone? Of course, he couldn't complain, afterall, it took him….a lot of days just to rescue Riku and Kairi from Ansem and Maleficent a year ago.
"Hey, I see someone!" Sun shouted as the rest of the crew all looked over to see who it was, they noticed the small boat was rowing towards them all. "They must have returned!" He said, with the crew cheering a bit.
After a few minutes, the boat had finally come up to them all. And much to their surprise, it was only Will and Elizabeth who made it back as Will and she climb up the ladder.
"Ah, Welcome aboard Ms. Elizabeth," Gibbs said with a smile as Will and Elizabeth climbed aboard, when she got on board she was familiar with Gibbs, but she was not too keen on seeing a bunch of other pirates.
"No more pirates." She said with dread, but Will patted her on the shoulder to let her know that she was alright.
Gibbs, Sora, and the others looked around and got confused. "Hey Will, where's Jack?" Max asked, with the others wondering the same thing.
Will then looked at them all, and he didn't want to hurt their feelings or tell them that he left him behind, but he sighed. "I'm sorry, but he fell behind." He said to them all.
"Wait, Jack…Jack Sparrow?" Elizabeth asked as Will was escorting her away. The news that Jack fell made them all go a bit silent, no one said or moved. The teens of Remnant were gripping their fists tightly, they should have gone in with them all.
"Damn it!" Ruby exclaimed as her fist was gripping very hard. "Not again…" She whispered through gritted teeth. Gibbs gave the girl and the others a sympathetic look and he sighed as he saw the faces on the other crewmate's faces.
"Keep to the code!" He said to them all as Anamaria ordered the rest to unfurl the sails and stuff.
And this made Sora and co confused. "Wait, what do you mean?" Sora asked. "I mean he could still be alright, should we-" but he was stopped by Gibbs.
"We must keep to the code, lad." Gibbs said with a sympathetic voice, making some of them confused a bit by what he meant.
"W-what do you mean?" Ortenisa asked as a lone tear went down her eye, with OSwld trying to console her a bit, sure they just met Jack. but he seems like a nice fellow…despite seeming also a bit mad.
Gibbs then sighed again. "You lads and lasses really don't know the code huh? Well, let's sit down and let me explain to you all." He said as he led Sora's group over to a part of the ship while the rest were benign ready to head on out.
Isla De Muerta/Treasure Cove
Hector Barbossa and Luxird were both looking at Jack Sparrow right in the eye as the man found himself tied up and facing both men down.
"How in the blazes did you get off that island, Jack?" Barbossa asked with curiosity in his voice.
"Well, very simple. When you left me there on that wretched island, with nothing but a loaf of bread and a single shot…well you forgot one thing mate." The rest then leaned a bit close, wanting to hear where he was going with this. "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow." He said, almost saying ath as if it was an accomplishment.
The others snickered a bit and Barbosa rolled his eyes. "Well, that is one mistake that I shall fix." He said. "Kill him!" He ordered his men as they all got out their flintlocks and prepared to fire at him.
"The girl's blood didn't work, did it?" Jack asked, this made the others look at him with confusion and Barbossa told his men to hold their fire.
Barbossa then walked up to the man with a smirk with Luxord following him closely. "You know whose blood we need then?" He asked.
Jack smirked at him. "Yes I do," He said.
Luxord then gently pushed Barbossa out of the way and looked Jack right in the face. "Sparrow, you have a few people on board that I require, and one of them involves a girl wearing a red cape."
Interceptor
As the ship was sailing far away from the island, everyone was doing their own thing, but Will and Elizabeth were down in the brig, along with Ortensia, who was using healing magic to heal the wound on Elizabeth's hand.
"Sorry honey," the cat girl said with a sympathetic look. "The cut's intense, it won't hurt anymore but you might have some scarring for a while."
Elizabeth smiled warmly at the catwoman as Will wrapped u[ the hand to help it heal faster. "Thank you, I mean it." She said, making Otensia smile and nod her head. She then turned her attention to Will. "I can't believe you asked for that…pirates help."
Will then sighed. "I know, but he was the only one who knew anything about the Pearl." He said. "And Ortneisa and her friends." He said as he motioned towards the cat girl. "They have been a big help for the past two days."
"Oh stop, you're making me blush," Ortensia said with her hands on her cheeks, which were turning a bit red, making both Will and Elizabeth chuckle a bit. Will then went back to wrapping Elizabeth's hand.
"Don't stop." She said as Will then stopped for a moment to look at her, and she did the same to him, both eyes darting into one another.
Ortensia looked back and forth and knew that she was possibly needed somewhere else. "I'm going to go see if Mr. Gibbs or the others need help." She said as she left to go up the stairs. Will and Elizabeth then stared at each other for a long time before the two leaned in a bit.
"Oh, Elizabeth," Will said as they were a bit closer, this is what he was hoping for, finally, eh was about to kiss the woman of his dreams, but then Elizabeth stopped and reared her head back a bit, and she then had a look of regret on her face as she then had her hand go in her chest and pull the medallion out.
Will looked at the medallion and his face was a mixture of slight relief, almost as if he recognized it. Elizabeth apologized and said that it was his. "When we rescued you that day, after seeing you drift at sea." She said to him,
Will then took the medallion and looked at it fondly. "I was wondering where it went…it was a gift from my father, he sent it to me." He said the revelation made Elizabeth look so guilty. He then turned to her, looking at her with a face mixed with confusion and a bit of anger. "Why did you take it?" He asked.
Elizabeth was now a bit hesitant to answer, seeing the anger on his face, but she knew that she couldn't keep it to herself. "Because…I am afraid that you were a pirate, that would have been awful." She said, now feeling a bit saddened. Not just because of that as well, she was afraid that if he were, then her father, Governor Swann would immediately think of him as one as well, and he would get the death penalty.
Will then looked at the medallion and focused on it, he then remembered what Jack said about his father being a pirate, he had also been told by Elizabeth about what Bafbossa did and he then put two and two together. "It wasn't your blood they needed." He told her. "It was my fathers blood…..my blood….the blood." His grip on the medallion tightened as he then uttered the last sentence. "The blood of a pirate."
Elizabeth then tried to apologize, knowing that this revelation was hurting him, but he didn't answer, he just aggressively slammed his hand on the medallion on the table and Elizabeth, feeling a bit nervous and frightened, took off from the room. Will then looked at the medallion with a small frown. He could try to deny it all he liked, but Jack told him the truth, his father, William Turner…was a pirate.
So we're going to stop there folks, hope you all enjoyed it.
Sorry if I have been gone for a long time, my new job is a bit….tedious to say the least. I start at 5:30 in the morning and don't get done till 4 pm. And at night, I try to get this done but I keep falling asleep. So sorry.
Originally, there was going to be a Heartless battle following Will and Elizabeth's escape, but I decided to wait till the next chapter to do that. Where Barbossa, the hsi crew, and a large Heartless will appear and attack the Interceptor in order to get the medallion back.
So the next chapter might be a bit different because, for time reasons, the scene where Jack and Elizabeth get stranded on the island will not happen. But he wild escribes his freedom speech to her and Sora while they are tied up on the Interceptor as R-wait, no spoilers...as of yet, but just be prepared for what comes next...
Again sorry if this is late, but as I said, my job is a bit tedious with the scheduling.
Anyway, please don't forget to read and review, I'm happy to hear from you guys and happy to answer any questions you might have for me.
See you all next time :)
