Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose looks around the dock, looking confused. "Hmmm...Will Turner, Will Turner, how do I find Will Turner..." Once again, she’d jumped into a plan headfirst without bothering to work out some basic details. Shaking her head, she figured she’d find someone who appeared fairly official-looking and try to talk to them. Turning, she sees a woman in uniform [Ally] dragging a man towards the Dauntless. Rose runs up to the woman and stands in front of her, blocking her way. "G’morning, m’lady...was wondering if you could possibly point me in the direction of one Will Turner?" She sees the woman look over her and suddenly realizes how odd she must look - in a dark red dress that less than a half hour ago had been new, but was now stained with ash, gunpowder, and dust, with several prominent weapons, messy hair, and several smears of dirt and cuts across her face and hands. Biting her lip, Rose hopes that the woman won’t think she’s too dangerous. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ally Black-Port Royale Officer *Ally looks up in surprise as a woman jumps in front of her path. She listens to her and sees that she is looking for Will Turner. Ally wonders what business the woman has with Will, but the woman doesn’t look terribly dangerous. Ally thought to herself for a moment and answered her.* "Will Turner, eh? What’s your business with him, that’s what I want to know." *As she spoke, David groaned a little bit. Ally knew that he was in pain,and she really needed to get him on board the Dauntless.* "All right, here’s the deal. You look like a pretty strong woman, and I am in need of help. You help me get this man on board my ship, and I will point you towards Will Turner. Is it a deal?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Captain Barbossa *Barbossa marched through the streets of Port Royal as though the fighting and cannon balls flying past him did not exist. He fixed his gaze straight ahead, on the large home just ahead of him. It was the Governor’s Mansion, and Elizabeth Turner and her father were somewhere inside. He grinned. He walked up the stone path to the front doors, and knocked softly on the door. A moment later, a tall, straight-nosed butler greeted him.* "May I hel - !" Before he could finish, Barbossa had his hand around the man’s throat, lifting him a foot off the ground with his powerful grip. When the struggling had stopped, he dropped the limp body to the floor, and passed inside the mansion.* "Geoffrey, who was that?" *Barbossa looked up, and watched as Governor Swann began coming down the stairs.* "Ahhh....Good evenin’, Governor! *Barbossa said with a mock smile. He was pleased to see the old man freeze in terror.* "Oh, come now! I’m not that terrifyin’! Bwahahahahaa!" *Barossa steps toward the Governor slowly, his eyes lighting up.* "What d’ya say we...take a little trip...? Oh, and where be your lovely daughter? I wouldn’t want ta be leavin’ ’er behind..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul fought his way further and further into the ship, and was met with more and more excellent swordship. "Fight they be wantin’, eh?" Paul muttered, still battling his way through them all. He also noticed the surplus of women. He smiled crookedly. "Women? He actually wan’ed women abard the ship? Bad idea, mate," he muttered, thrusting a good strike through, but missing his mark. He cursed. "Yeh women always fuddle a good ship!" he barked. Suddenly, his head felt lighter. He felt for his ever-present pony-tail and cursed again as he found it gone. "Me hair!" he shouted, angry and now slashing at everything in his way, be it comrade or foe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose thought about what she’d reply as the woman asked her why she needed Will...it would sound kind of odd if she mentioned that a pirate captain needed to warn him about attacking pirates...but then the woman spoke again. Rose considered the proposal...it seemed decent, and she wouldn’t waste too much time. "Alright, mate, you’ve got yourself a deal..." Rose leaned over to pick up the man’s shoulders. "’es a heavy one...get his legs, and we can carry ’im off to wherever you need." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
And what’s wrong with women? Ya afraid we be too weak? Tobbs gave a grim smile and blocked the blow the other pirate had tried, then sliced his hair from the binding it was held in, and he looked outraged at her mock. She smiled even more and leaped behind him, ready to strike, but he blocked her blow suprisingly, for it was never done before. She shook her head and continued to fight, then tried to help the others as she fought with the other. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ally Black-Port Royale Officer *Ally smiled as the woman answered that she would help her carry David. As the woman picked up David’s head and arms, Ally picked up his legs and nodded in the direction of the Dauntless, signaling to the woman that that was the way they were heading. It was much easier carrying David with the woman’s help, and Ally was very grateful that she had agreed to help. "My name’s Ally by the way. I’m sorry I was so rude earlier, it’s just in my nature. I do appreciate your help." *they reached the Dauntless and carried David on board. Some of the crew ran over and helped the women lay David down on the ground. Ally told one of the men to look after David and she led the woman over to the side of the ship. She took out her looking glass and surveyed the fort, looking for any sign of Will. She caught sight of a man fighting with excellent swordsmanship, and when he turned around, she saw that it was Will. She handed the glass to the woman and pointed to the place where she had seen Will.* "That’s him there, the one with great skill with a sword. *Ally thanked the woman again and wished her good luck with whatever it was she was supposed to do.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul gritted his teeth and kept fighting. He tried glancing into a window to see how his hair was, but every time he was consumed with having to fight. He took blows that would normally have killed a man, but he was dead, so it didn’t matter. Finally, when he had gotten a particularly nasty crew member of the Black Pearl’s, he looked into the glass and snarled. He looked like David! His hair was badly cut by that woman’s blade ("Curse her!" he thought) and it was now only to his ears whereas it had once been to his shoulders. Paul didn’t want to look like his family. He wanted nothing to do with him at the moment. He let out a maddening scream and started to fight again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose makes a mental note of the name; it may come in useful later. She helped Ally carry the man onto the ship, assuring her that she didn’t mind her briskness earlier. She takes the glass from Ally, listening as she looks into the direction where she’s said Will is. She’s a little surprised at how handsome and clean-cut he looks...could Jack really have ever associated with him? She shrugs off her suspicions and sweeps her bandana off in an elegant bow to Ally. "M’lady Ally, it’s been a pleasure working with you...g’luck in what you do...hope we can team up again sometime, aye? So long for now." She salutes Ally, then hops off of the Dauntless, setting off in the direction of Will. Rose sees the man fighting with a pirate, and marvels at his fencing ability. Once he’s incapacitated the pirate, Rose approaches him. "Ahoy there...Will Turner, is it? Could you come over here a sec, mate?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs merely laughed when the other checked his hair, but was startled that her deathly blows had no effect on the man. She continued, but suddenly a glimpse of moonlight shone on his arm, and she gasped in shock. So the curse was again started? She wielded back as he tried to slice her in half, and though she was a little anxious of the curse being on still, she only grinned when he screamed. So he was immortal. More fun for her! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Jacky, Jacks crew: As the fight began, Jacky was in it. She pulled out her saber and spotted one of the Barbossa’s pirate. She yelled as loud as she could: "Hey you, black pirate! Why are standing here? Maybe you want to try my sword???" And she ran towards him and started figting. She saw how her comembers were fighting all around the dock and how Capt’n ran to find Will Turner. But Jacky’s enemy was very strong and she couldn’t defeat him. She hurted him twice, in the stomach and chest. "What are you made of, Guy?" She yelled, but the pirate just evil laughed. Because of this laughing Jacky’s heart became a piece of ice. Finally she pulled him to the sea and it seemed like he was busy. So she looked around and spoted her friend Nick who was in a big trouble. " Hang in there, Nick!" Jacky yelled and ran toward the pirate. She pulled the cursed pirate and he left Nick lieing on the ground. Jacky picked up the first sword she saw on the pierse and throwed it to Nick. " Are you OK, savvy? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Cpt Jak Cheese~Barbossas crew* *Cheesey climbed up to the top of the deck of the pearl to see a furious fight taking place. He notices a slightly cocky young lady slicing up one of his fellow crewmembers...* "this is going to be fun..." *he says as he heads off to fight w/ Tobbs* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew *Nic winces as the pirate’s blade comes closer and closer to killing her, she looked around for anything she could use to hit hm with. Nothing...there’s nothing bloody useful on this ship for something like this she thinks just when Jacky pulled the pirate away. Nic let out a slow sigh of relief she was still alive and stood up.* Eh, thanks, mate! *She takes the sword and begins hacking away at some of Barbossa’s men, flustered as they won’t die. She kicks one overboard into the water, and continues to fight them.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs was almost close to laughing as she battled the cursed pirates, manuevering in and out, up and down, taunting the cursed as she did so. She was battling three now, nd she saw cheesy getting ready to attack. She suddenly held up both hands, palms flat, and yelled stop, and those fighting her did so. Then, she put her right hand forward and gestured the new cursed pirate to come on and attack, and then drew her sword, which started the fighting again. She was smiling happily, but hoped Cap’n would return soon and explain this mess with some help on how to kill ’em. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Cpt Jak Cheesey ~Barbossa *Cheesey looked at Tobbs in suprise as she yelled out stop. He then ran at her and dodged her swinding sword. He then tripped her and she landed face down on the deck. He watched as his fellow crew members went to finish her off....* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul grinned as Cheesy sprawled the woman pirate to the deck. "Be makin’ ya think what ye became a pirate fer, eh lassie?" Paul said, his Port Royale accent gone and the vicious pirate accent coming on strong. Paul was ready to end the woman’s life, but she twisted out of her place, and kept fighting. "I’s a wonder yer still fightin’ lassie. But not fer long." He smiled, and made a stab at Tobbs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs was shocked as Cheesy made a quick, unexpected move and she fell shocked. This hadnt happened either! Apparently, these bloody pirates were both immortal and had trained well. She swiftly rolled over and jumped up, just as a stab was made at her. She leaped and grabbed one of the loose ropes and pulled to make it lift up. She almost grinned as she saw the cursed pirate, Paul, look around in astonishment as he stabbed into thin air.
Over here, ya cursed creatures!
Now she swung onto the other ropes and dodged the bullets shot at her, then made for the wheel. She turned one of the ropes, making a latge sail fall and fling a few of the cursed overboard, but she was dismayed to see that both cheesy and paul weren’t harmed.
Bloody pirates!
She quickly went back down to them and began to clash swords with them, a new energy surging through her veins. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul was now furious. A woman had out-manuveured him! He snarled at her, and both he and Cheesy began to duel with the woman. "Lass, what be yer name?" he asked viciously, still concentrating on her blade to make sure she didn’t score any points. Again, not that it mattered, but he still had his honour. And he really was curious to know. She is an amazing fighter, he thought, frowning. Better than I.

Don’t remember, Paul? Tis me, TopSword Tobbs!
She sensed he somewhat remembered the name, but couldn’t clearly remember. She grinned and devised she’d refresh their minds soon, but not just yet, twas too soon. She told him her maiden name, which she never used, was Victoria Elizabeth Clarence Brighton, (ooc:I posted my bio in the bio thread if ya wanna read it) and was famous amongst both pirates and others as one of the best fighters and swordsmen. Can ya tell yet? Or shall I show ya more? Have you and yer pirate friend had enough? She grinned once more and made a strike at Paul, but missed by an inch. Now she was getting a little annoyed. She hadn’t trained in a while, but she didn’t think she’d be this bad. She continued on fighting the pirate, waiting for word of Jack. This was all too fun, she thought to herself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Maharet- Jacks Crew She came over to help Tobbs and took on Paul.Maria was fighting furiously with the ghosts now though weekened from the first battle, she was only 13. clanking her sword with the vicious thing. She felt a shrp pain in her wrist the Bloodly Pirate had sliced it. It wans’t critical so she kept fighting. " You should have stayed in hell where you belong!" Her Bracellete was was now cut off and landed by thePauls feet but she did not noticed. she’d hoped neither did. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Sparrows sea Woman
Saber had been wandering the streets when the fighing started, and was taken by suprise, as she was strangely dressed as a woman....for once. Quickly she backed into a doorway and pulled off her skirt reveling pants underneath. "You never know when the goings, going to get rough." She muttered to herself. She looked out at the water and saw The Black Pearl. "Just my luck" She said gleefully, and she ment it too. She dove into the water and swam out to the ship, climbing aboard she found Jack. Though she was tempted to punch him for causing her so much trouble, she decided to wait for a more oppertune time. "Well Captian" She said as she smiled deviously "I’m back....What can I do you for?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Snort-Crew of the damned During the fight on the ship, Snort got together about 15 other damned pirates. Not by land, we attack, but by sea. They eached dived into the water all unnoticed. The swam to the end of the Black Pearl where the other pirtaes and not driven back Jack’s crew yet. They climbed aboard. As they did, thunder came and and darkness and rain began falling. Each pirate following Snort climbed aboard unnoticed. Bam! the fighting momentarily stopped as one man fell on the ground face forward. He had been shot in the head. As he fell the other pirates were revealed with Snort holding a gun straight out. Yor time on this ere ship is ov’r with, aye. Time to go. They charged down. Snort grabbed on by the throat and held him over the water. Parl-to the sharks ye go now. Snort said as the man fell ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Governor Swann *The Governor stood frozen to the bottom stair, horrified by the sight before him. His butler lay dead in a heap by the door, and now this foul smelling man, a pirate by the looks of him, was creeping toward him, smiling wildly. Suddenly, at the mention of Elizabeth’s name, the Governor stiffened.* "What do you want with my daughter, you...you scallywag! I would never hand Elizabeth over to the likes of you! Now...get out of my house! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Captain Barbossa *Barbossa moved forward, until he was only an arm’s length away from the Governor.* "Ya don’ know who I am, do ya? Well, maybe ya remember me mates instead..." *With that, Barbossa stepped in front of the window just as the clouds parted in front of the moon. As the light touched his body, his clothes became tattered and worn, and his skin seemed to dissolve into the air, revealing his skeleton underneath. The Governor’s eyes widened, and he let out a frightened yell before dashing back up the stairs. Barbossa laughed, his exposed rib cage shaking eerily with every bellow. He then started up the stairs, taking his time, knowing his prey had nowhere to hide.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul now remembered the woman. She had sailed with them for a time, then had left. "Ay, Tobbs! I recognize ye now." Paul grinned roguishly. "Too bad ye partnered with the wrong pirate!" The suddenness of a new combatant flushed Paul for a moment, but he gladly took the opportunity to teach the girl a lesson. He took a slash at her wrist, drawing blood. He smiled, then noticed her bracelet. A fine treasure fer a pirate like me! He slit it off her wrist, making it land near his foot. He managed to keep dueling with the young lass as he picked it up off the deck and slipped it into his pocket for later. For the young lady Elizabeth he had captured before. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Lettleby~ Port Royale officer David groaned, his head feeling like someone had taken a hammer to it and kept pounding it over and over again. He tried sitting up, but dizziness from the pain made him consider the floor a better alternative. He plunked his head down on the deck, and softly asked, "Is Abigail all right?" His eyes were closed, and he struggled to stay awake. He heard a murmur of voices above him, then one of them went away. "Get that blasted Sparrow. . ." he muttered, still in his half-conscious, half-dazed state.

Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs was worried for Maria and was about to help when she saw another band of the cursed board. She was enraged! How dare they? She dueled her way, past Paul, and cheesy, and kept pushing the cursed off into the sea. She hated them for what they had done, but they weren’t going to hurt her again. They’d never take the Pearl from them! She wished dearly the Cap’n was there, but kept fighting, and grinned as she saw Snort near. She’d deal with him later if it came to that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maira Maharet- Jacks Crew "Give it to me you bloody pirate its mine." She ran she pierced him in the stomach but paul didn’t seem to be hurt. She stuggled. but he grabbed her by the arms and holded her close keepend his sword close to her throat. She stood motionless. Trying to grabb her bracelett in his pocket. " Where is it. Where is my bracelett? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul grinned at the girl. "I’s in me pocket, lass. I wou’dn’t try gettin’ it if I were ye." He held her arms tight, and looked down at the saber piercing his belly and laughed. "Lass, I’m one o’ the cursed, ye bloomin’ twit." Paul now went to the edge of the boat and hung the girl over the railing. "What de ye think now of the chances of ye escaping?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs was happily gettin rid of some of the intruders when she saw Paul and Maria. She race over and slung her sword in his back, suprising him in time to reach for Maria’s hand and rush her off away.
You don’t need yer bloody bracelet! What ya waste yer life over it!?!?
She turns back to Paul and smiles, ready to take on the skilled pirate once again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Maharet- Jacks Crew Maria Looked down at the rugged waters. Then looked to Tobbs in Horror.. She speaks to Paul. " You wouldn’t throw me in." She turns to tobbs . "but I do Its the only thing left of my past. Someone once told me it was aztec gold" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shakes~Barbossa’s crew man Shakes had been among the group of Dammed pirates who went aboard the Black Pearl, As they charged the other pirate crew, he found himself face to face with his daughter Saber. Taken aback as the girl wipped out her sword, he stumbled and whisperd "You!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Sparrows sea Woman
Saber had turned when she heard the shot, pulling out a sword she set herself to fight, only to find herself facing off with her father! "Yes it is me." She said in reply to his exclimation. The man was so stunned that Saber had no trouble forcing him to throw himself over board, Then she turned around only to find a knife at her throat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Maharet- Jacks Crew She Turns from her own incident to Sabers. " So is that all you do bloody Pirates is hold every one by Ransom. Paul Did niot take my life and Neither will you take hers" She draws her sword though knowing it won’t harm them ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow-
:Jack grimaced as he realized he was running out of bullets and Barbossa didn’t seem to be running out of men. With a half thought, he rolled a barrel of gun powder down the docks, where it effectivily knocked down two of the cursed pirates. Jack grinned a golden toothed grin and and took aim.:
:The barrel exploded in a flash of flames and heat, igniting some nearby enemies, and Jack grinned: "Bye Maties..." He grinned and put his gun back in his belt loop. Then he searched the area for Rose. When he didn’t see her, he became worried, but called to his crew:
"Take down that bloody ship!" He called, and began running, feeling guilty for leaving his crew to fight on their own. But they seemed to be handling the matter just fine. He ran now, dodging bullets and letting out random shriek and curses as he did so. "Rose?!" He shouted, and found her near the Fort. Damn that girl had to much Sparrow in her!:
"Where’s Will?" He asked, and was a bit surprised to see that indeed Will had been found. "Well...seems a bit late to warn you about..." He looked over Will shoulder and his eyes widened for a split second. A half second later his gun had been raised and fired....into the head of a oncoming pirate. Jack watched as the pirate fell back, stunned but not dead. He grabbed Will and Rose by the arms and drug them away againest a wall.:
"now..stop me if I’m wrong matie.." He began to Will as he reloaded his gun. "But did we not take care of this curse a year ago, savvy?" He said, and looked around the area, watching the cursed pirates run amok: "seems as if there might have been a hitch in that what say you?" Maria Maharet- Jack Crew Grasping her sword she looks around for will in need of telling him something. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs watched as the Cap’n went off for Rose, and continued to fight. She realized the cannons weren’t armed anymore...blasted pirates! She leaped passed Paul as Maria and Saber took him on, and began loading the cannons quickly, firing them off as fast as she could.
Could somebody help me with these blasted cannons! Dont got 20 limbs, ye twits!!!
She continued firing, hoping that the bloody ship would sink soon. Others bagan to help with the cannon, and while she loaded ’em, she also clashed swords. Snort-Crew of the damned Forward men. Close ’em bloody pirate ould be’s in between us and the others. Both groupes of pirates began moving and trapping Jack’s crew. Soon they would have to abandon ship, and the black pearl would be back in the hands of those who truly deserved it. Aye, don’t ye get it yet? Snort began to shout. Ye can’t win! He ran over to where Shakes was in trouble. He knocked the girl down into a patch of moonlight. He leaned his head in showing his hideous skull face. G’day missy, he grinned. He said to Shakes. Finish er, I’m goin off to find the cap’n and with that he was off into the city

Saber~Sparrows sea Woman Saber look of suprise turned to terror when she saw the skull of the pirate bending over her. She had heard that there was curse, thats why she had never partaken of the treasure, and had left the ship after Barbossa took over. Now she lay on the deck with her father standing over her, wondering if he was the type of man to kill his own daughter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shakes~Barbossa’s crew man Shakes quickly did what he had to do. He couldent bring himself to kill his own kin, so he grabed her by her collar and flung her across the deck, Saber hit her head on the mast was knocked out. "There that will keep her quiet for a while." He picked up his sword and began to go at the crew again. "It a good thing shes like her mother, light and easy to throw." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs was enranged beyond limit. She didn’t know whether to go after Snort or Shakes, but she decided she must help saber and was off to fight Shakes. She clashed swords with him unexpectantly, for he was distracted it seemed.
Bloody fool! Flingin ’er across the deck! Ya don’t wanna mess with Cap’n Sparrow’s crew, ya mangy fool! Hittin a lady, eh? I’ll teach you some manners!!!
Tobbs was at it again, clanging swords with a cursed being. She was nervous for the Cap’n though, that wicked Snort was after him, though she knew he could fend for himself, and that she couldnt be at two places at once. She fought on, brutally but forcefully. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elizabeth Swan
Elizabeth had been standing behind some soldiers, searching the area for Will while she used a pistol to fire at the on coming pirates. She was about to run off to find her love when a pirate grabbed her from behind and carried her away. Let me go you cruel man! Do you not know how to be respectable at all! She beat upon his back and kicked her legs, uncomfortable with the position mostly because of the babe that she carried. She kept kicking when she was suddenly sat firmly upon a boat and a gauz was placed in her mouth. Mfauhou hrumngh merhfummu hmmrerhmfhr!!!!! mfuur hrum!!! mfrrrrrr! mfhrn fnmrhn!mrfh- But she couldn’t finish her last sentence, for she was hit in the head by the edge of a sword, and she slowly fell into darkness.
Elizabeth opened her eyes slowly and wondered where she was, for the room didn’t seem familiar at all. She tried sitting up, but her head suddenly ached with pain and she decided against it. She was about to try again when someone entered the door. She looked around and saw a vaguely familiar pirate who was smiling at her oddly. "RemembA me? Ah, course ya dont! ya almost bloody killed me eh? Cap’n ’ill be ’’ere soon, little lass..." With that, he left, leaving her with her thoughts and an aching head. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Governor Swann *The Governor was crouched down in the bedroom closet, hugging a blanket closer around his shaking body. He remembered all too well the last encounter he’d had with these damned pirates aboard the Dauntless. But how is it that they had come back?! He could have sworn they’d been defeated! Suddenly, he heard footsteps just outside the door. His eyes widened as the shadows of a man moved right up to the door and...* "Why don’ you come out o’ there and we’ll ’ave a good ol’ chat, face ta face, eh?" *The doors swung open violently, and Barbossa stood before him, his fleshless jaw jerking up in the makings of a grin. Despite his terror, Governor Swann suddenly thought about his daughter, and he stood up. In a slightly quavering voice, he yelled...* "P-PARLAY!" *The Captain just laughed.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Captain Barbossa *Barbossa moved into the closet and out of the moonlight, his flesh suddenly reappearing on his body.* "There’s no need ta be callin’ fer a parlay, me dear Governor. There be no sense in killin’ ya....yet. I just thought we could ’ave a nice ol’ chat aboard me ship, is all. Aye then, shall we?" *Barbossa struck out with his arm and grabbed the Governor’s shoulder, then dragged him out of the closet, put a small dagger against his neck, and forced him down the stairs and out of the house. He guided him through the streets until the reached the shore, where one of his fleshless crew members waited in a small boat to take the Governor back to the Dying Sun.* "Keep a close eye on this one, lad. Put ’im straight in the brig, and make sure ’e doesn’t escape!" *Once the boat was on it’s way, Barbossa turned back to the town to search for Elizabeth.* "Now...where might the little brat be hidin’ ’erself...?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Snort- Crew of the Damned He had been running through the city looking for Barbossa. He couldn’t find him so he decided to head back to the ship. What was this, his men were being pushed back. Some had allready fled ship and were heading toward the Dying Sun. Why I’ll teach those cowards. But he noticed that the govenor ws being taken to ship and that it was no use to try and totally claim the Balck Peal right now. At least we can weaken them. He figured Barbossa had gone back into the city ofr the lass. Snort went on to follow ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Captain Barbossa *Barbossa suddenly looked up and saw Elizabeth being carted off to the Dying Sun.* "Well now...that was easy." *He followed the pirates and the girl back to the ship. When he opened the door to his quarters, she was sitting in the center of the room, bound to a chair. As soon as she saw him, she began kicking violently, and muttering curses into the gag in her mouth.* "Ahh, ’tis good to see ya again, me lass. It was gettin’ lonely ’ere without ya." *He carefully removed the gag from her mouth, and pulled his fingers back as she snapped at him.* "Now now, lass...I think ya will find it more in yer favor to cooperate with us." *He moved aside, allowing several pirates to drag in Governor Swan, bound and gagged, and covered with bruises.* "Arg! I ne’er said ye could lay a ’and on ’im, ya filthy ’alfwits!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs had realized that they were indeed winning, though many were lost. She pushed another off into the sea before realizing that they had fled to their cursed dhip. She ordered that most should man the cannons and fire away while some helped with the remaining cursed beings. She fought skillfully, happy to put her training to the test. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swan
At first when Barbossa entered, she was in shock to see him alive, but she was too angry to be shocked long enough. She kicked and yelled into the foul tasting gauz, wishing she could strangle the creature. When he took off the gauz, she snapped at his fingers, and stared at him fiercely as he spoke. You Pig! She was about to protest when suddenly she saw her father being brought in and gave a cry of sorrow. What have you done to him! Don’t harm him at all! You scoundrels! If you harm him I’ll- But she was interrupted by the snarling Captain. Or you’ll what? It doesn’t look as if ye are in a easy situation, eh? He nodded his head and a knife was held up against her father’s throat, which made her cry out once more. Alright! I’ll...I’ll cooperate! Her eyes began to fill with tears, but she hid them as the Captain began to leave. Vial Pig! She muttered, but he only laughed...

Shakes~Barbossa’s crew man Shakes quickly realized that even though the side he was on could not die, that jacks crew had the upper hand. So he shoved Tobbs aside, and dove overboard so he wouldnt be captured, and started to ’walk’ to the Dying Sun. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Sparrows sea Woman Saber slowly sat up and rubbed her head. She had forgotten that her dad could do that. Retriving her sword she noticed that the Damned crew was slowly leaving, so she helped them by managing to push a few overboard and the like. "Well Tobbs lookes like we shoved em off eh?" Saber said as she helped her shipmate up. "My Dads not above hitting ladies just ta let ya know." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Captain Barbossa *Barbossa smiles coldly.* "Don’ ya worry yer pretty little face, lass. As long as ye cooperate with us, yer dear ol’ father won’ be gettin’ fed ta the sharks." *Turning to the pirates in the room, he says...* "Tell the rest o’ the crew ta get back ’ere now! We’re leavin’ fer Isla Meurta earlier than planned...." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic watches as the opposing pirates turned away, wondering what they would do and where Jack had run off to. She mutters* Bloody pirates..blasted curse... *She throws the sword that Jacky had given to her on deck and retrieves her own. She sees the gun she had used and mumbles again* bloody guns. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Thatcher-- Elizabeth Swann-Turner’s maid
Abigail was hoping for a nice cool lemonade with her handsome naval officer friend, Mr. David Lettleby, when out of nowhere Commodore Norrington yelled for Mr. Lettleby to ’hurry up and help with the blasted pirates." Abigail was momentarily irritated until she looked over at the harbor, to her great horror, the Dying Sun was anchored in Port Royal. She screamed as the naval officers and the pirates began to exchange fire. " I’m frightened...don’t leave me alone please!!!" However, there was little Mr. Lettleby could do. He had to follow orders from the Commodore otherwise he would surely be put in the brig for disobedience. Mr. Lettleby quickly asked an elderly gentleman nearby to keep an eye on Abigail while he went off to fight the pirates of the Dying Sun.
Abigail wondered how an almost senile old man was going to protect her from Barbossa’s men. She shuddered to think what would happen to her and Miss Elizabeth if they were captured by the unscrupulous pirates. She looked around to see where she could hide but she saw Miss Elizabeth being dragged aboard the Dying Sun by a pirate. Forgetting any fear she had, Abigail ran after her mistress. "Miss Elizabeth!!..Miss Elizabeth!! she cried. Abigail would have been far wiser to stay with the old man because one of Barbossa’s pirates took ahold of her hair, dragged her kicking and screaming aboard their ship. Her worst fear had come to fruition! She was now a captive along with Miss Elizabeth on Barbossa’s ship. She passed out for quite some time. When she came to, Abigail had a throbbing headache. She was lying on the filthy floor of some cabin room aboard the Dying Sun She could hear Miss Elizabeth and Barbossa talking so she decided to keep quiet and pretend to be unconsious until she and Miss Elizabeth were alone. Perhaps together they could figure a way to escape. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose, slightly confused, looks from Will to Jack. "What happened? Was there really a curse? And what d’you mean, you took care of it?" She’s interrupted by a loud blast of cannonfire, which knocks all three off their feet. She gets back to her feet and turns to Jack. "’m going back to the Pearl...she’ll need all the help she can get if the pirates really are cursed. But you’re going to hafta tell me the whole story soon, savvy?" She turned to Will and saluted. "Good to meet ya, Mr. Turner. Even under the circumstances." She grins, salutes Jack as well, and takes off at a dead run for the Black Pearl. Sarah Fleming-Elizabeth’s Friend, Port Royale *Sarah woke up with a sharp pain in her head. What had just happened? Pirates, Elizabeth... That’s it! Some pirates had just taken Elizabeth! Oh, she must find Will! She tried to stand up but kind of slumped back over. I must have been hit on the head with something. She tried to get up again, slower this time. She stumbled a bit, but then looked around. She saw Abigail being dragged onto the Dying Sun.* Oh dear Abigail! At least she will be able to take care of Elizabeth. Now, I must find Will, or prehaps Jack Sparrow. *She went off in search of Will or Jack Sparrow. She had sooned wandered into the middle of a battle behind the Black Pearl and some pirates.* Have any of you seen Jack Sparrow? *She called to the crew. None answered, she tried to run out of the battle, but was thrown to her feet as someone ran into her.* Who the.... *She trailed off, staring her in the face was Will Turner.* Will! They’ve taken Elizabeth and Abigail! We must do something. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul grinned and hooted as he headed back to the Dying Sun. He saw Governor Swan on his way there, and smiled evilly. "Oh we’re going ta have some fun wi’h tha’ one." He felt his head again, cursing Tobbs’ perfect cut, and frowned. His hair was short again. But then he thought of his capture of the maiden Elizabeth Swan-Turner and remembered the bracelet in his pocket. He grinned again, shouting to the ship, "Miss Turner, I ’ave a present fer ya!"

David Lettleby~ Port Royale officer David slowly swam in and out of consciousness, slowly coming back to reality. Most of the shooting from the cannons had stopped by now. He sat up slowly, felt his head, groaned, and looked again at the cursed ship. The Dying Sun, he noted it was called. David saw all the pirates were heading back, and one of them particularly caught his eye. David peered closer, thinking that he knew him, but dimissed it as a figment of his imagination. "I’ve been out for a while; it’s gotta be a hallucination." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose approached the Black Pearl, surprised to see many of the pirates going back to the Dying Sun. She’s ready to make a stand against those who are still on the Black Pearl. As she’s about to board it, a pirate from the Dying Sun attacks her. She ducks the attack, nearly falling over, and attempts to draw her sword, only to find it stuck in the sheath. Cursing profusely, Rose ducks the laughing pirate’s swipes at her, but the dress she’s wearing rips and trips her. She crashes to the dock, growling, as the pirate slices at her arm. Wincing in pain, she grabs her gun and shoots at him, several times. The pirate looks more stunned than pained, and after her gets over the shock, he simply laughs. Rose stares. Was this the curse everyone talked about? The curse Jack mentioned? Well, she wasn’t going to try and find out. Thinking quickly, she kicks out, knocking the pirate’s legs from under him. Surprised, he falls to the ground. His sword is knocked out of his hand, and Rose grabs it. With a swipe of both the sword and her foot, she knocks the pirate off the dock and into the water. "Yeah!" Rose cheers, looks extremely pleased with herself as she puts her gun away, keeping the pirate’s sword in her hand. "I am so getting into the pirate thing." Looking across at the Black Pearl, Dying Sun, and Dauntless, she sees the man she helped carry aboard the Dauntless. She figures he doesn’t remember her, but she salutes him with the pirate’s sword anyway. Pain shoots across her arm and she winces. She’d have to get that cleaned up quickly. Brightening at the flight of many of the cursed pirates, Rose boards the Black Pearl. "Tobbs!" she calls to the woman across the deck. "Can the Pearl hold off the rest of them? How many are left? How’s the fight going, what’d I miss?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs had been chasing the last scalliwags away when she heard Rose’s voice and watched as Andi ran aboard.
Rose, yer safe! Tis a good thing, we might need ye soon, but yer hurt! We’ll have to finsh fightin’ the last of these creatures ’till we can clean that up, but no worries mate, there’s only a coupl of ’em left! Grab a sword and come and have fun if ye hand be willin it!
She noticed Maria on the floor of the deck holding her wrist so she told someone to look after the young one. She wondered why the creatures had fled, or for that matter, even came aboard the Pearl. Perhaps for the Cap’n, but they wouldn’t flee from commondering now, would they? She continued on, keeping one eye on Rose and Maria as she greeted Andi and Nic. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swan
Father, are you hurt badly? What have they done to you? Ha-
But she was stopped in saying the rest when, to her horror, dear Abigail was dragged into the room. She pulled and tugged at the chair ropes, but couldn’t get loose. She could only wait for the maiden to wake up, which wasn’t long, for after Barbossa was assuredly out of ear range, the young maid attempted to sit up, and though successful, was a bit shaky.
My dear Abigail! Those filthy beasts have taken you to! But why? Why are they doing this? She watched the wobbly shape and realized something was wrong. Are you alright? Have they hurt you? I’ve brought you into this, as well as father, for purposes I dread to know. She looked out a dusty glass window and was able to see some of Port Royale. Will, be careful my love...
She turned back to Abigail and her father and tried scooting the chair forward, in which she was successful in doing, for the two scooted close to eachother and forward also. They had to hurry if they would make a move, for it seemed they were about to move. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew "It’s just a scratch, mate, not a problem." Rose tries to look nonchalant and grins, brandishing the pirate’s sword and wincing as her arm flares with pain. "’ll be all right, no worries...let’s get those nasty buggers off our ship, savvy?" The grin that fills her face is reminiscent of her father; enthusiastically, she plunges into battle with the few cursed pirates left aboard the Black Pearl. Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul went aboard the Dying Sun and took a look at their captives. He grinned as he saw three in the interrogation room. "Ay! I wouldn’ be tryin’ ter do anythin’, ye bloomin’ nitwits." He stepped forward in the room, out of the moonlight where he rematerialized, and heard one of them gasp. "What was tha’ fer?" he growled, picking up a young woman that was lying on the floor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Saber~Sparrows sea Woman Saber was thinking about how well they did. When she realized the blood was all over her shirt. She felt pain shoot up and down her body, as she felt her neck. A large wound was there. Saber had been caught up in the heat of battle, and not realized the number of wounds she a recived. she fell to the deck on her knees, and then fell sideways. Slowly she lost track of her surrondings as she went into a sleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs was glad to see Rose could put up a fight, even with a wound, so together they fought against the few pirates that had slowly dwindled away. She saw out of the corner of her eye that Saber had been wounded badly, and she rushed to her side. But she noted the pale unconsciousness and sent her down with one of the crew members to be helped and rehydrated and nourished, for she would do it, but there were still more cursed here. So the battle continued on, but twas inevidable that the cursed wouldnt win, and the other ship seemed to be preparing to leave, so that would encourage the others...she hoped...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swan
Elizabeth looked up, startled to see that someone had come in the room. She was about to protest when she heard Abigail gasp for the shape hadn’t been apparent to her now, from bones to flesh, and vice versa. When the pirate picked her up, she wriggled beneath the ropes and kicked the chair.
Nay! Do not harm her! She’s done nothing to anyone! You devilish scoundrel, release her! For she’s not to be harmed at all! Nor my father or myself! RELEASE HER!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul grinned at Elizabeth, then remembered the bracelet in his pocket. "Ay, little lass; I got a present fer ya." He took out the bracelet with one hand and threw it at Elizabeth. "There ye be." Now he turned his attention to the woman he had picked up. "What ye gaspin’ fer, little lass? Is there summat about me that ye find disturbin’?" He looked at Abigail, still struggling in his arms, and laughed. "Yer a foolish one, lassie. Don’t be thinkin’ ye can overpower a cursed pirate like meself." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Maharet- Jacks Crew Maria looks out as then black pearl prepares to leave.She fells her wrists and remembers they cut off the bracelett.She turns to Tobbs. " They’ve still got my bracelett"

David Lettleby~ Port Royale officer David was now completely fine. "Nasty headache, though," he confessed to Ally Black. He looked to the sea again, seeing the Dying Sun sailing out of the port. "I wonder what they came for. . . . and why they left," he murmured to himself. He shook his head, which still throbbed with pain, and winced. Then he remembered Abigail. "Abigail!" He jumped off the ship and ran to where he had left her with the old man. He shook the man, who was asleep on the bench. "Sir, where is the woman I left you with?" "Got taken, I s’ppose." "I thought you were to protect her." "Well, I’m not to blame when she runs off on her own an’ gets captured." "What do you mean, she ran off? Ran off for who?" "She was screaming ’Miss Elizabeth!’ but that was all I could hear." David cursed himself, then thanked the man for his "protection" of Abigail. He walked back to the Dauntless, now worried for Abigail. "Black, are we going after those pirates? What did Norrington say?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs watches the other ship start to move, and requests the uninjured crew members to fire some cannons, for the cursed seemed to have dwindled away. She noticed Maria looked alittle better and walked over to her, listening to her plea.
Whats with that bloody bracelet that ye like so much? I’ll get the Cap’n to buy ye another when we go to town again, alrightsies?
She still didn’t understand what the bracelet was valued when she remembered the young lass had said something about Aztec Gold. She paused and looked at the younger pirate, worry showing in her face.
What do ye know about that Aztec Gold?Where’d ya get yer bracelet, Maria?
As she inquired, she heard the faint sound of someone’s voice in the distance, calling for help... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swan Elizabeth wriggled more and kicked at the chair, hinting to her father to get her hands untied while she distracted the pirate. She looked at the bracelet that had been thrown at her, and saw the gold had a familiar look to it. I don’t want your plunder, you twit! Let her go, you beast!
Her father managed to slip her hands through and she leaped up, though noticed her legs were tied. She wobbled over to the pirate and swung the back end of the chair at him, knocking both him and the chair down.
That’ll teach him to watch his manners! Doesn’t think we can overpower him, does he not? But we must hurry before he wakes!
She quickly helped her ffather up and quietly looked through the door. The pirates were working, and there was only one chance of escape, by an unguarded area of the deck. She nodded her head to the others, and they slowly sneaked towards the edge. They were about to run to the side and jump in, for they could faintly see Port Royale, when a someone’s voice from behind her rose in the air.
And where might ye be goin, lass? Plannin’ on a swim with the sharks?
She spun around to see the pirate she had knocked down with Barbossa beside him. She hinted to the others to jump in, but they seemed not to budge, probably because they saw all the pirates staring at them, laughing at the mention of sharks, or because they didn’t want Elizabeth to be alone. She sighed and looked at Barbossa in the eyes, measuring out his soul, but a chill made her shiver and she had to look down.
Come now, yer not gon’ anywhere but back in yer cabin, m’dear.
She smiled, then suddenly smacked him across the face and ran to the edge, but was grabbed by two others. She urged Abigail and Her father to jump, but they were seized before they could attempt. Their plan was a failure, and Elizabeth began to yell for help, hoping that someone from the port could hear them. But the pirates only laughed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul didn’t expect them to fight, but he had figured wrong when Miss Turner wacked him good in the head. He cracked his neck, got back up, and went after her again. He laughed at her feeble attempts to be heard, her voice echoing clear across the water. "Yer not goin’ ter be heard, m’dear. There’s nothing fer ye ter be shouting about. Now come along nice-like, and we won’t have ter be mean te ye." His hair whipping in the wind, he cursed Tobbs again and took his bandana off to readjust it to his new hair length. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mason Dupont - Jack’s Crew *Mason reloads two of the cannons and fires as the ship moves away missing with both shots he curses and he walks around checking over the crew he comes to Nick and asks* Are you alright? *he looks at her worriedly awaiting a reply, there was just something about her, he couldn’t be sure what it was but he couldn’t help but stare* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
The voice seemed to be fading quickly, so Tobbs had little time to think of what to do. She nodded to Maria and made sure she had two swords, a pistol, and perhaps an axe, then retied her pony. She was about to leap into a boat when both Rose and Maria inquired where in blazin was she going. She sighed, for the voice was fading, and she had little time.
Well now, Maria, to collect your bracelet and the person who screams aboard that ship. No doubt it’s that Elizabeth lass who I’ve been hearing about Tell the Cap’n I’ll be back, savvy? They looked at her in shock. Didn’t ya know maties? I’m TopSword Tobbs! And she was gone in the night.
Tobbs rowed quickly and silently, trying to track the voice as it pleaded for help. She suddenly went along side a large ship, and made sure the boat stayed firmly there for her departure. She slyly climbed aboard, and put on one of the hats worn by a pirate on the ship. She saw three people who didn’t fit. Elizabeth Swan, Gov. Swan, and a young maid by the looks of it. She sighed and went over to them, acting buff and deepening her voice.
I’ll take ’em back Cap’n!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swan
Elizabeth sighed in grief and gave one more pleading call for help before she let the pirate take her. She realized now that the pirate offering to take her back was thinner and more graceful in shape rather than buff and mean looking like the cursed. She ignored it though and followed along, until she was startled to here a young lady’s voice whispering in her ears and coming from the pirate that lead her.
Miss Elizabeth, I presume? Yes, Mrs. Turner actually. Who...who are you? Name’s Tobbs m’lady, I’m one of Cap’n Sparrow’s crew members here to rescue you. Might I see that bracelet for the future? Yes, yes of course! I’m here with my father and Abigail, my maid, well, my friend is more like it. She handed it to the young pirate and inquired why she was here once again. Why to rescue you of course! I’ve got a boat next to the ship, climb aboard it when I give the signal and I’ll be after ya. Elizabeth nodded and walked off, pausing only once, but Tobbs assured her on and said she’s meet her there. Suddenly, all the pirates began yelling and the clashing of metal was heard. They were almost to the boat when two pirates grabbed them and assured them into a cabin. They closed the doors and stood watch, the yelling still continued... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs was about to give the signal when Barabossa stepped up. You look familiar...name yer rank and name! Tobbs sighed and whispered once again that she should sneak off into the boat with the others while she distracted them. They began to sneak off when Tobbs removed her hat and spoke clearly and proudly. Ahoy, ya filthy scalliwags! Barbossa, did ya miss me? Why, its TopSword Tobbs Cap’n! Isn’t that funny! said some of the crew. Yes, yes, I thinks me knows who it be! TopSword Tobbs, here under my flag eh? Likely mistake once again, ya always fell into them. What? You think I cant fight you? Do you challange me? Anyone? It was silent suddenly. Alright, the lot of ya can! I’ll take ya all! Thay laughed as she ended her words, and looked over to see if they had gone aboard. She sighed, for she didnt see them in sight, but figured they made it and began the fight. There was all too much and they were immortal to top that off, so she could barely defend herself. She grabbed another rope and pulled it so she could go up again, but this time, someone (paul most likely) slashed at her arm and wounded her well. She went off balance and flew to the right of the boat, though no water was heard. The crew went over to see where she’d gone, and saw her rowing away. They dare not fire in fear of what she had on that boat, kowing well about last time. She was upset to find that they hadnt gotten on the boat, but she rowed back to the pearl, her arm bleeding awfully alot. She saw that most of the crew had returned, and Sparrow and will were discussing something. She leaped on board and approached Maria, handing her the bracelet, though it was covered in her blood, which she apologized for. She was pale now, but ws one not to cry, and she hadnt done so ever since her brother was taken. She grinned as she approached the captain, who was near the pearl, though not on it. Cap’n, sorry I left the Pearl, but I had to try for the girl. I figured out that Elizabeth, Gov Swan, and Abagail are aboard, and most likely are being taken to the docking of the cursed. Most of the old cursed and a few others are on board, and I almost got Elizabeth and her entourage off, but I couldnt help ’em while dueling with a crew, so I’m...sorry...cap’n...couldn’t do...it...oi! this...must be th..at..wills chap..! Sorry again...Cap’n... She began to shiver, but refused to accept the darkness. She grabbed an extra cloth and tried wrapping it around her arm, also refusing to go below deck, for she needed to defend the pearl! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jacky, Jacks Crew: In the heat of the battle Jacky didn’t see anything around her, but when her enemy, one of Barbossa’s pirates, ran away from her and she looked around. And saw that all the cursed pirates were leaving. " It’s not me, that’s for sure." She grined to herself. " That pirate could fight till the end of days...my days." She added then. So she turned to the Black Pearl as no enemies wanted to fight now. When Jacky came to the ship she saw her friends. But Capt’n still wasn’t there. Then she saw Saber lieing on the deck. Jacky ran towards her and listened to Saber’s heart. " She’s alive..." Jacky mattered, picked up her wounded friend and went down to the cabins. Jacky’s left hand was hurt, but she didn’t feel it. She just was glad that she stayed alive... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul was indeed the one who had slashed Tobbs’ arm. He grinned, glad he had finally gotten a mark on her. But he was one of the few that wanted to blast her boat from the water as she made her way to the Black Pearl. But then the Captain reminded him of the past time, and his blood-lust quelled. At least we got our captives, Paul thought, turning back to go into the cabin in which they were guarded. "Get out o’ the way!" he growled at the two guards, both obeying immediately. He entered the cabin, and knew his face was recognizeable. "Now tell me exac’ly what ye see in me face," he commanded Abigail. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose shakes her head as Tobbs goes off onto the Dying Sun. "That woman’s crazier’n Dad is!" she mutters under her breath. "Or I am, for that matter." She holds her breath the whole time Tobbs is gone, only half her mind on the fighting. When the woman comes back, Rose is given new heart, and manages to knock the pirate she’s been fighting off the side of the Pearl. She runs to help Tobbs on, and is shocked to find the woman’s arm bleeding profusely. "Tobbs, mate, you’re in no shape to fight with that arm...come on, below deck with you." Deaf to the woman’s protests, Rose drags her to the cabins below deck. "It’s one battle, mate, and it’s not worth you getting hurt worse or killed over, savvy? Here, I’ll stay with you and help you clean it...then we’ll go back up and make those pirates rue the day they ’eard of the Black Pearl..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Ally Black-Port Royale Officer *Ally turned to David and smiled at his concern for Abigail.* Well Lettleby, all the Commodore told me was to prepare the ship in the case that we shall sail after the pirates. The Dauntless is ready and I am just awaiting the Commodore’s orders. I know you want to help Abigail, but you must not do anything rash until we have our orders. I just hope the Commodore makes his way on board soon. I am getting a little anxious as well. * Ally smiled and picked up her looking glass, trying to find Norrington amidst all of the commotion.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Maharet- Jacks Crew She turns to Tobbs " I was found with that bracelett. You see I was found near a shipwreck when Jack picked me up. ITs the onluy thing I have of my past. and Ingraved on it is something I don’t under stand the initials. W.T." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
Aye, I’m fine. *She narrows her eyes at Mason a bit.* Why d’you ask? *She sees Barbossa’s men boarding their ship and wonders why they left so soon. Nic sheaths her sword, glad to have found it at last, and takes off her bandana, breathing out slowly. Her waves in the wind and she looks back at Mason.* Norrington had been separated from the rest of his men by a rather fierce looking pirate, very very large, and wielding a makeshift mace with menacing spikes. After a long, seemingly endless saber duel, Norrington up and shot him with his revolver, which he had been trying to reload the entire time. Seeing that the pirates were retreating to their ship, the Dying Sun....they got what they came for, and although he wasn’t sure what it was, Norrington had a sure bet that it was most likely Elizabeth....he had lost her again...no, get that out of your mind man, focus on the present.
Norrington made a headlong dash for the Dauntless, not even bothering to inform Governor Swan of his plans. He saw Ally aboard, and David looked hurt. Turning to Ally, Norrington spoke quickly.
Tell me, what is the state of the Dauntless, is she sea-worthy?? Why have the pirates left, and who are the hostages? And where the bloody hell are Sparrow and Turner?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mason Dupont-Jack’s Crew *Mason realises he’s staring and quickly looks out to sea* No reason, just looking after my crewmates *realises he didn’t say anything to anyone else and turns a little red as she looks at him and he says* well it’s good to see your alright *he sheathes his sword and goes around checking over the injured again* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Snort-Crew of the damned Snort ran back to where the Dying Sun was docked and noticed it was gone, sailing away now. He remembered "He who falls behind get’s left behind" Bloody code. He swore uner his breath when he noticed that the Black Pearl was still around. He grinned a toothy grin...stealthily under the darkness he crept to the mighty boat and began to climb up it. One of the cabin windows was opened. This was a grand oportunity. Unknowingly to Snort, this was Rose’s cabin of use, Sparrow’s daughter, unknowing also. Now all I gots to do is wait fer the scallywag oo sets foot in this ere cabin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose dragged a still protesting Tobbs over to said woman’s cabin. "Come on now...won’t take long..." She quickly and skillfully cleans the wound, then binds it. "There y’go...don’t overexert youself, mate, savvy? Now, go on back...I’m gettin’ sick of this bloody dress, be right there soon’s I change." With a final nod to Tobbs, Rose goes over to her own cabin, opening the door, and stepping in... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs tried to stay on the deck but Rose seemed too persistent, and she didnt have the strength or the will to argue, so she forcefully went below to get the wound cleaned up. She winced only once, and that was all, though she seemed dazed. When Rose was done, Tobbs mumbled a thank ye and rerolled her sleeve, then went upon the deck to find the Cap’n and give more of a report. Though a bit wobbly, she managed to make it up, but couldn’t stand for too long, so she called to the Cap’n and will as well to come aboard. While she waited she looked around as if searching.
Where’s some rum when ya need it? Aye, I’ve always said rum ’oll cure everything, or kill ya, but I have yet to die, so bring on the rum!
After seeing no one move about as if to get her some, she mumbled something under her breath about "helping the injured" and stood up gettin’ ready to see the Cap’n. She suddenly heard something below deck, and remembered Rose was down there. She sighed, and rushed down, hoping she was indeed not too late... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elizabeth Swan
Though the attempt was unsuccessful and the pirate Tobbs would most likely be dead or severly wounded, Elizabeth had a faint glimpse of hope still. She helped Abigail up as well as her father, and tried to make sure she was okay. She was about to speak of what happened when the pirate Paul entered he room with an evil smile. When he went up to Abigail and spoke, Elizabeth slid between her and the cursed creature, a brave and bold tone in her voice. You wil NOT lay a hand on her, nor my father, nor myself. I struck you once, think you I won’t do it again? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigal Thatcher--Miss Elizabeth Swann-Turner’s maid
Abigail tried her best to follow Miss Elizabeth’s instruction to jump before the pirates noticed but she just couldn’t jump off the boat. It was a double whammy-- a fear of heights and a fear of water. It had been a foolhardly attempt to escape anyway for the pirates caught them before they could make it off the boat. Abigail was once more dragged to the cabin room, roughly pushed inside. A ruffian of a man, tall and evil looking with extremely poor dental hygiene came over to her. He leered at her before pulling her up, grabbing her by the jaw. "Now tell me exac’ly what ye see in me face?" he demanded. "I...er..I..do not know what you mean..sir." Abigail looked helplessly at Miss Elizabeth. Luckily, Miss Elizabeth was a far braver soul than she was. She intervened and soundly told pirate Paul to keep his hands off Abigail and Governor Swann. Abigail glanced with admiration at Miss Elizabeth. She certainly knew how to take charge in a challenging situation. She looked back at pirate Paul to see how he would react. He seemed to admire Miss Elizabeth’s fiesty spirit and spunk too. He looked hard at Miss Elizabeth then he let go of Abigail, inched closer to Miss Elizabeth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ally Black-Port Royale Officer *Ally was relieved that Norrington was back on board the Dauntless, and she answered his questions immediately* "Sir, the Dauntless is ready and sea-worthy as ordered. I believe that the pirates are leaving because they have achieved their purpose and have captured Elizabeth Swan and her father, or at least it appears that way. Officer Lettleby also tells me that they have taken Abigail Thatcher along with them. As for Will Turner, I met up with a girl who was looking for him, and I think she and Sparrow may have found him. They may be on board the Black Pearl, sir, but I do not know that for sure." *When she had finished, Ally saluted and waited for further orders.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose lets out a gasp of surprise as she sees a pirate in her cabin. She hasn’t seen him on the ship, and from the look on his face she judges him to be a cursed pirate from the Dying Sun. "Who are you?" she demands, drawing her sword. There’s a note of fear in her voice, though - the pirate would probably figure out that she couldn’t kill him, but he could kill her. That was never a good thing. "What are you doing in my cabin?...get out!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Jack Sparrow.
:Jack had left Will at the Fort warning him: "Try not to do anything stupid, matie.....savvy?" And flew. He had engaged himself in a firece battle with two pirates on the docks, and as the moon rose Jack saw the pirates around him were giving up, and leaving. In fact he had only to give them a good hard punch and they toppled over much to easily.:
:What had they been after in the first place? Then the thought struck him. They’ve taken Elizabeth.....she wasn’t near Will......With a growl he leapt towards his ship, taking out his pistol he grabbed a rope with one hand and swung himself aborad the Pearl.:
"Time for you to say goodbye" He muttered and fired his pistol into the head of the nearest of Barbossa’s men. He saw Rose. Wounded. Why wasn’t that a shock? Quickly he took stock of the area. Seeing his men in various states of injury infurated him, and he brandished his sword. Oddly enough Babossa’s men started jumping off the side, and the Dying Sun was leaving:
"No...." Jack muttered, but knew he had to tend to his own if they were to survive a battle with them. He reloaded his pistol and made to find his daughter.
"Rose?!" He said and made for her rooms. he hoped she’d finally listened to him and stayed below. Shoving the door open he saw one of Barbossa’s men in her room. With a angry curse, he took aim over Rose’s shoulder and fired into the man’s head. Knowing full well he’d only remain stunned he took the man bodily by the shoulders and half shoved and drug him, punching swearing and growling from the cabin. Of course the pirate fought back.:
:Swords clashed and Jack wondered wht this one wasn’t leaving like the rest. Finally he just lifted his voice and bellowed "YO HO YO HO A PIRATE’S LIFE FOR ME!" the man looked stunned a moment, and that was all he needed. With a well placed bodily shove the man went sailing over board, leaving Jack on deck, staring over in the water, a maused grin on his face. :
:Growling, cursing and muttering things like "can’t ever do one damn thing...." He tore off the scarf from around his waist and began wrapping up Roses’s arm rather roughly, shooting her angry glares, that were the equal of Jack showing concern:
:Still looking at his crew he began shouting: "Who’s injured? What’s the damage to the Pearl? Was anything taken? ..." and so on, as he began walking up thr deck, taking Rose with him. "Someone find Will Turner and that bloody Norrington and bring them to the docks!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose stood half in admiration and awe, half in shock as Jack battled the pirate that had ended up in her cabin. She had an urge to applaud as he shoved the pirate off the side of the boat. As he wrapped up her wounded arm, Rose gave a sheepish grin to his angry glares. She followed him up onto the deck, listening to him shout orders. Once he stopped calling to the crew, Rose bit her lip and cleared her throat, waiting for Jack to turn to her before she spoke. "You...helped me out in the cabins...bloody good fight, may I add," she mentioned as an afterthought. "I...haven’t been the nicest person to you..." To put it mildly, she thinks, but continues. "Why’d you do that for me?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:He looked at Rose a moment and considered the question: "Well it seemed a shamefor you to die by the likes of one of Barbossa’s men...." He gave her a half joking smile.:
"Yer a good fighter......and I’m not fond of seeing good fighters go down without a good fight...savvy?" He finished the make shift bandage on her arm, tying it firmly in place and gave her a hal admiring half annoyed look: "You’re part Sparrow after all....Welcome to the Caribbean..."

Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew A delighted smile crosses Rose’s face...her first real smile since she got onto the Black Pearl. She felt happier than she had in days...not only had Jack complimented her fighting, but he was starting to accept her as his daughter. Maybe there was some hope for him after all. She looked up at him, the smile still on her face. "Thanks...Father." The word is tentative, but it was a relief to call him that again. With a final smile, Rose waltzed across the deck, humming the infamous pirate song under her breath. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Jack Sparrow.
:watching Rose walk off, he grinned and began looking after his crew. The first he went to was Tobbs, and he gave her shoulder a pat, and a nod of thanks: "You defended the Pearl well...thank you....."
:Next he wandered over to Mason and asked if he was well...then slowly over to Nicolette and Jacky, giving each of them a nod of thanks for their defense of his ship..thier ship. The Ship he’d fought so hard for.:
:Next to Maria and Saber, his eyes growing more and more furious that his crew had been injured and so unawares. Well...he’d come looking for adventure and this certainly was one....even if it was troublesome.:
:He walked to the helm of his ship and shouted: "I need someone to take stock...see what damge as been doen to the Pearl....someone else....go to Port Royale and bring me Will Turner and Commodore Norrington. Bring them here...no doubt one of them will want to find me.....everyone else...prepare for a long trip...we’re going after Barbossa and whom ever he’s taken....."
:He turned on his hill and shouted over his shoulder: "We leave at the first red light of dawn!" and he stuck his pistol back in his belt. adjusting his hat he began to hum the infamous pirate song Elizabeth had taught him a year ago. He kept his eyes on Rose...his daughter. Yes. The girl was part Sparrow. He could see that in her now. He was smiling faintly now, even if his mind was working furiously to figure out a plan of attack on Barbossa’s ship.: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew Rose hopped below deck...the dress was still filthy, and she was absolutely sick of fighting in it. Approaching her cabin, she sung softly, "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me..." She opened the door, checking briefly for any more pirates. Satisfied that it was empty, she changed back into the clothes she’d been wearing before. They were almost as filthy as the dress, if not worse, but at least she was wearing pants. She ripped off a piece of her shirt and tied her hair back with it. The piece she’d ripped revealed her right upper arm, where she had a small tattoo of a rose. Rose checked herself in the small mirror. She looked dirty, fairly beaten up, but energetic nonetheless. "Like a pirate," she said softly, tucking her loose brown pants into her short leather boots. She’d gotten her first real brush with piracy now, and it had been a thrilling, chilling experience. Being a pirate was obviously a lot harder and rougher than it looked. In an odd way, that made Rose love it all the more. Not only that, but Jack had finally seemd to accept being her father...things were definitely looking up. Aside from the kidnaps, cannonfire on the Pearl, and wounds, of course. "Rose, mate, you are going to love it here," she said aloud, chuckling. Tying her bandana back onto her head as she walked onto deck again, Rose heard Jack mention something about going back to Port Royale to warn Will Turner and Norrington. Well, seeing as she knew what Will looked like, it was only logical she do so, aye? Grinning, Rose caught her father’s eye, winked and saluted, then vaulted off the ship and onto the dock, once again in search of Will Turner. Rose stopped halfway up the dock. That woman from before...what was her name? Ally, that was it...and she’d been going onto that ship...the Dauntless! If she could get to Ally again, maybe she could find the whereabouts of this Norrington chap as well. Rose approached the Dauntless, but was almost instantly upheld by a guard. She held her hands up. "Sorry, mate, I mean no harm...looking for a lass by the name of Ally...could you tell me how t’find ’er, maybe? ’d be ever so obliged..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Captain Barbossa *Dark clouds began to fill the sky as the Dying Sun sailed out of Port Royal. Barbossa was standing on deck, staring out across the black water. He put a rough hand to his cheek, where a faint red mark still showed Elizabeth’s slap. That was the one drawback of being able to feel again...He decided it was time to go back to his quarters and have a private chat with Miss Elizabeth. He pushed open the doors, and ordered Paul to take the old man and the maid to the deck. He pulled a chair up so it was directly in front of Elizabeth.* "Now listen well, lass. I’ve got plans fer you and yer mates there, so do us a favor, and try not ta get us angry again. We’d ’ate ta ’ave ta be killin’ ya before the ceremony..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs entered the cabin just as Cap’n Sparrow wizzed by, so, knowing him as sucha good fighter, and already having a headache from the depths of hell itself, she made sure things were okie dokie by poking her head in as Cap’n fought with the pirate. Poor cursed creature, she thought to herself.
She went back to the deck and slowly hobbled around, making sure the ship had not been damaged, looking over the crew and helping those hurt, and then sat upon the wood, her back leaning across the wooden thingy that held up the wheel. She began humming softly to herself to the tune of "yo ho ho ho, a pirate’s life for me!" when Jack appeared and she smiled as he issued the orders. She waited for him to finish addressing the crew and then she’d give him the report. As he went up to her and patted her shoulder, she looked up and grinned.
Oi, Cap’n, the other shoulder would be best. She laughed softly as he noted the deep wound. Won’t kill me, just a scratch thats all. Have Rose to thank, indeed I do. I thank ye for lettin me watch the pearl, twas an honor indeed, and I would’ve jumped in front of any cannon that would’ve severly damaged ’her! Cap’n, I needs to tell ya things sfter you speak to the others, tis important.
She watched him nodd and walk away, then she slowly set her head against the wheel. She waited for the sound of his voice before re opening them. Cap’n, wanted to tell ye that twas Barbossa and his ole cursed crew, ’wcept some were knew indeed! I spoke to Elizabeth, and she tole me to tell ya that she, her father, and her friend were aboard. Almost gottem loose, but there were too many. She hated defeat, and closed her eyes as if saddened, then re opened them. Oh, and the Dying Sun, or so its called, will be sailing to their harbor. She watched him look thoughtfully as if pondering a move to make. She waited quietly until he looked at her once again. I’m at your service, Cap’n.

Will Turner Will rowed up beside the Pearl in a little row boat. "You guys get to have all the fun while I am gone, don’t you," he said. Sparrow’s going to have a hissy with the holes all in his boat..I mean ship, he thought to himself. He went climbed on deck and went promptly in search of Jack and Elizabeth. He finds him right where he usually is, at the helm of the Pearl. "Jack, what’s gone on here? And where is my Elizabeth? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swan
Elizabeth was disgusted to see the pirate inch towards her, and for once, she ws glad Barbossa had arrived in the nick of time. She tilted her head to the side and gave a mocking glance as Paul left, then smiled at Abigail. She suddenly felt Barbossa before her, and he seemed so close. She listened to his words in dread, but did not show it.
Do you think I fear you? What happened this time? Forgot of the gold giving curses and took it once again? His eyes seemed suddenly aflamed and she had to back up out of fear. She didn’t want to anger the pirate, much less be near him.
Alright, I’ll do as you say. But you must tell your crew to not harm my father or Abigail. She saw him ponder then nod his head. She gave a sigh of relief, then remembered, what if she had said something wrong, as last time? The day was beginning to have a shadowy dread to it, she thought to herself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Norrington knew that things were getting tight, the pirates were getting away. But he had to find Sparrow...and possibly Turner as well...he spun to Ally and looked her square in the eye I’m going to find Sparrow and Turner...Black...I want this ship moving with the tide the second..I mean the second I step foot...scratch that, I want to have to jump on board this ship...is that understood? Without even getting a reply, the entirety of Port Royale could hear Norrington’s bellows LETTLEBY!!!! TO THE BLACK PEARL....NOW!!!
Assuming that Lettleby was on his way, Norrington ran right past a pirate woman who seemed to be looking intensly for someone....as he made his way to the Black Pearl, he didn’t even look to see if David was there, he merely boarded and went straight to the helm, where stood Sparrow and Turner..Norrington quickly composed himself
Ah, good evening gentlemen....I see I must be late...tsk, silly me...now, am I correct in assuming that those bloody pirates have taken Ms. Elizabeth and her father? And if so, what are your intentions here Mr. Sparrow??...by the way Jack, your outfit looks...dashing?..is that the newest style in high seas color? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Snort-Crew of the damned Snort clinging on to a board with one hand, furious at what had just happened. He had a good mind to climb back up and blast them both in the head when he heard the words "thanks...father." The third he thought to himself, the third needed. He had to get back to the lass, He climbed back in right as she closed the door and waited yet again. This time, his plan wouldn’t fail, he had to have her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul did as Barbossa commanded him, and took the old man and the maid out to the deck. He grinned at the two hostages, then said, "D’ye want me te give ya the gran’ tour of the ship? Or would ye just like te go te yer cabins now? I’m sure the cap’n’ll talk te ye two t’marrow sometime." Paul looked at the hostage Abigail, and took a serious look at her. "Oiy, little lass; ye’ve never been on a ship befer ’ave ye?" Paul noticed her dark hair and the shape of her body in the moonlight. Then he saw a tear roll down her cheek. "Eh, ye ain’t scared of us, are ye? Don’t shed yer tears on the deck, lassie; wait ’til ye get te yer room." Paul ordered two guards for the man and Abigail, then went to think. He hated seeing people cry. It made him think of home, something he tried constantly to avoid; more specifically, it reminded him of David when they were little. Every time that Paul bullied his brother, he’d go crying to Mom and she’d tell Paul to remember those tears. Blast me infernal memory! Te think of David cryin’ all over again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` David Lettleby~ Port Royale officer David was greeted by a woman whom he thought he remembered. "Hello; you’re looking for Captain Black? Sure, I can take you to her. Follow me," he said to Rose. David walked onto the ship, calling for Ally. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicoletta DeLoncre~Jack’s Crew
*Nic grins amusedly as she sees Mason finally look away. She nods, half-believing his words and still grinning. She chuckles.* Aye, tis good to be alright. *She smiles and nods at Jack and turns to looks at the sea, a far away look in her eyes.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ally Black-Port Royale Officer *Ally nodded and saluted as she heard Norrington’s orders. After he had left the ship, she turned around to her crew* "You heard the Commodore! Make sure this ship is ready to leave the minute he gets back. Men, I want you all stationed beside a rope that ties us up to the dock so that when the Commodore comes back, you can cut us off quickly." She watched as the crew scampered off towards the side of the ship, and she looked up as she heard David shouting her name. He was running on board with the woman she had met earlier. When they reached her, Ally nodded to the woman. "Ah, hello again. What can I do for you?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs furious of the officer’s approach. How dare he barge up and criticize the captain! She staggered up and stood next to Jack, her gaze fierce and her eyes searching his very soul.
What manner of business is it that ye should barge up and criticize the Cap’n? How dare ye!
"My business is with the Mr. Sparrow here, not you young lady. Hiding behind a woman, Jack? Or should I say a young lady with bad manners who doesn’t respect her elders?"
That was the last straw she had. She placed her hand upon her sword hilt, then quickly pulled a small knife from her pocket and slashed, leaving a pretty little cut, a bit deeper than a scratch, but not as deep as a wound, upon his right cheek. As he reeled back in suprise, she drew her sword and had it placed before his neck just as Letterby arrived. Her eyes didn’t move as she held him at a still stance. Oops Tobbs, Lettlebys on Dauntless with Ally and Rose.

~Captain Barbossa "Aye, ya have me word that yer mates aren’t ta be harmed. Their only purpose is ta keep ya from tryin’ ta escape, although from the looks o’ things, yer still as fiesty as before... Now, I suppose ya be wantin’ ta know just why yer ’ere, eh? How I be alive, even though dear, ol’ Jack killed me a year ago, right? Well, per’aps ya will join me fer dinner, and we can discuss it then..." *He moves over to an armoir in the corner, and pulls out a familiar looking plum dress.* "Ya looked stunnin’ in this one, as I remember." *He narrowed his eyes and smiled as he shoved the dress into Elizabeth’s lap.* "I’ll return for ye when the table is prepared." *He turned to leave, signaling to one of his crew members to guard her room after him. He then walked up beside Paul, who still had the Governor and Abagail with him.* "Take those two ta the brig, an’ make sure ya don’t ’urt ’em! We don’ wanna go upsettin’ our guest of honor, now do we?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Norrington did reel back from the surprise....however, what Tobbs didn’t notice was the officers rapier pricking her lower torso.... Sparrow!! Restrain your men or your business here in Port Royale is officially over! I have come in peace, and apparantly this woman has not. Now my dear girl, because I hold your captain in one of my highest regards I will forgo killing you on the spot. Now, if you would so kindly put down your blade, I would like to speak tactics with your captain, unless you’ld prefer to stand here while the pirates shove off then?? Norrington stands there perfectly still, noticing he could have called his guard to dispatch of the woman quite quickly, but instead, he looks straight into her eyes and tries to tell her "I’m on your side!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Sparrows sea Woman Saber awoke to find herself below deck, lying on a bunk. "Ugh...I’d forgotten how uncomfortable the bunks on the ship are." She looked around "At least its good to be back." She noticed her wounds were bandeged, and that her strength was returning. So she slowly sat up and made her way to the corner of the room she was in. There stood a little trunk. "I knew Jack wouldn’t get rid of it" She exclaimed delighted. Soon she emerged on deck, looking her normal self. And by that I mean looking like a guy. Her black boused shirt blew in the wind as well as the blue scarf she wore around her head. A brace of pistols stuck from her belt, and a saber hung at her side. She made her way over to the Captain. "Well hello Jack Sparrow...Captain Jack Sparrow, ofcourse." She grinned mistiviously. "Remember me?" Then she looked about the deck. "And may I ask who I might have the favor of thank ’in for patch ’in me up?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Her wound had suddenly set her mind off balance, she felt somewhat faint, but stood still, and she began to feel a small prick on her torso. She sent an enraged glance as he spoke of her not bringing peace, and a mocking one as he said of slewing her on the spot (after all, she was TopSword Tobbs), though for her Cap’n’s sake of having a place in Port Royale, as well as not wanting to trouble the crew, she drew her weapons down and stood firmly next to Jack, her hand still on the hilt.
Twas ye the one that criticized the Cap’n and barged up as if ye were gonna kill ’em! And ye goin off to blame us when we were defendin yer home, and all ’o Port Royale for that matter, losing lives as we did so.
Tobbs stood still, trying to search of what the man was thinking. When he softened his glance and tried to speak without words, she softened hers to, and smiled somewhat.
Alright, commodore, you may speak with the Cap’n. Aye, I shouldn’t have been so jumpy, tis loss of blood, must’ve got to my head. I apologize for my rough manners and the cut you’ve gotten, was mere defending.
She gave an apologetic look to the commodore and then looked up at the captain and saw him somewhat grinning. She smiled back, and let her hilt hang loose, though she leaned against the wood where the wheel was on. She waited for the commodore to speak first, for since she did have information since her journey to barbossa’s ship as an attempt to rescue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Swan
She glanced curiously at the captain of the cursed, wondering why indeed she was here. But her glance turned to thoughts when he mentioned eating dinner in the same dress she wore before. She had hoped he would tell her where her father and Abigail would be staying, but that would have to wait until dinner, for Barbossa wouldnt tell her yet, most likely. She hoped poor Abigail would be alright, for she feared for her friend dearly. She sighed and began putting on the dress, hoping that the hope she felt was real, and wishing that her Will would come for her soon. She began crying softly, dreading the fate of those she loved... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Norrington was immensly glad that the brave woman’s words and emotion had tempered down, and he replaced his rapier, and took a hand to his cheek
There’s a smart lass...you’ll have to excuse myself if I came off the wrong way...I’m sure your captain here has told you I have that effect on people...
Now, Captain Sparrow, although it would most highly offend my superiors both here and in jolly old England, I do believe that both of us have something that means alot to us...your revenge...and my...well, it’s heading the opposite direction from us. So, if you wouldn’t mind cutting our conversation short, I highly suggest that you round up your crew, cut ties, and leave with me to find those blasted pirates. Wot do you think Captain Jack Sparrow...up for a little adventure with His Majesty’s Navy?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rose Glassman ~ Jack’s Crew "’Ello, Ally, mate," Rose greets the older woman with a smile. "I’m on rather urgent business...looking for Will Turner, again, and a fellow called Norrington...wondering if you may be able to tell me where to find ’em." She curses quietly as Ally tells her that Norrington’s just left for the Black Pearl. "Men!" she hisses quietly, barging off the Dauntless. As a afterthought, she pauses, gives Ally and David a salute and a grin, then tears off for the Pearl again. Boarding her father’s ship, she barely misses running into Norrington. She first salutes to Tobbs, then turns to Will with a grin. "Good to see you ’ere, Mr. Turner." She then turns back to Norrington. "’Ey, you’re the chap almost knocked me over in front of the Dauntless...Norrington, I presume? Seems you’ve been told of events, then...lovely..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Maharet-jacks Crew ON stepping on tho the ship. she looks for Will in dire need of asking him a question She searches for Will and finds him.Chatting witrh rose. so she runs to see how Tobbs is doing.She smiles at Commador then at Tobbs. " Will you Excuse me commador.....Tobbs are you ok I’ve been wondering how you’ve been doing." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs nodded her head in respect to the Norrington, trying to figure if twas a trick or an agreement. She listens intently on all the commodore says until Norrington gives her a curious glance as to why indeed she’s listening, so she looks down and strains her ears, still listening. She spots Rose come aboard once again and watches her salute, which she salutes back and nods, then sees Maria approach her, inquiring about her health.
Tis naught but a scratch I should say! She hears Rose give a sigh and shake her head when she said "scratch" . Feel a bit oozy, like the world’s movin about, but I’ll be just fine once I get some rum! How be your wrist, and that bracelet? You look a bit pale, are you feelin’ alright? Twas a wonderful fight you showed, you bein’ young and all. I remember when I- She stops as a sigh escapes her lips and looks down in sorrow. But that’s a lon’ tale, too long to tell.
She sighs once again and begins to hum, "yo ho ho..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew "Ay, Cap’n," he replied, doing just as Barbossa had instructed him to do. He led Abigail and Governor Swan to the brig, and sat inside the room as a guard with two others outside. Jus’ in case, he thought, assessing the two hostages. He thought again of David (blasted brother!) and looked at Abigail again. "Little lass, I know ye aren’t in the best o’ shape ter be answering questions, but if ye would be so kind as ter answer me a few, would ye?" As Paul said this, he bound the Governor’s wounds and Abigail’s as well, knowing that Barbossa wanted them to be fully well and healed for the ceremony. He was in the middle of roughly washing Abigail’s cuts, and he heard her take a few deep breaths. "Sorry if I’m being rough with ye lassie; but would ye please take me offer ter heart?"

Maria Maharet-Jacks Crew Maria looks out into the open water staring into nothing grasping the empty space on her wrist and singing an old time song. One she heard long ago before the shipwreck.before Everything. " Hush A Bye dont you cry. Go to sleep my little baby. when you wake, you shall have all the pretty little horses...." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow,
:He looked from Norrington to Tobbs and gave Tobbs a warning, but proud glance, before turning to Will:
"Nice to see you again Mate.....as for Elizabeth. remember that man we "killed" a year ago...well the man who was supposed to be dead isn’t dead and indeed he is very much alive and as taken your bonnie lass in exactly the same fashion he took her a year ago ....with her father as well and another lass.....’ He watched Will’s eyes get that all to familar angry gleam:
"Let’s not do anything stupid...." Jack said, with a meaningful look at Will, and turned, leading Norrington and Will to the helm of the ship. "Barbossa will be sailing to his cursed island...that we all know and love so well....but we can not go sailin’ after them with so much damage done to us.........cruel demented and vicious they all......but we can’t kill them....Barbossa’s got the curse upon him and his ship again....."
:He gave them both a look and gestured to his crew who were busy mending the ship and themselves: "And if we go after them right now...we’ll end up in worse condition...savvy?"
:In typical Jack fashion he took charge: "We’ll leave at the first light of dawn......" He looked at norrington and Will as if he expected them to take orders at once. "I’m killin’ Barbossa if it takes me last breath....." he caught a glance of Rose in her old clothes and raised a eyebrow but didn’t say a word.: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sarah Fleming *Sarah got out of the row boat with Will’s help she was soon on Jack’s ship. She went to the Captain’s Cabin with Will and Jack.* Sarah, now tell us what you saw. Yes, and be quick about it girl, the Dying Sun moves fast. Well Elizabeth and I went looking for Will when the pirates attacked. We both ran to the house. Some pirates must have followed us. Elizabeth ran upstairs to warn her father. I stayed outside to try to close the gates. A pirate knocked me out before I was able to close it. I woke up a little later, they were dragging her toward the Dying Sun. *She shuddered.* Go on Sarah, go on. I went to go and get Abigail, I figured we could both go get you. I knew I couldn’t save her by myself. But they took Abigail too. She tried to...to fight them. *She burst out crying.* It’s Ok Sarah. You rest here for now. Jack, I guess you know where that means we’re going. Aye! Catch the Dying Sun! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Jack Sparrow
:Jack listened to what Sarah had to say and looked a Will, then Norrington a odd glint in his eyes. Why Elizabeth and her Father? revenge? No....Barbossa was smarter then that. True he was a muderous, double crossing, traitor.......but he was smart. He wouldn’t go after a fort unless there was something there he wanted..and wanted it badly enough to risk loosing his ship and crew.:
:Will first reaction as Jack has expected was to growl out the word: "revenge" but Jack raised a eyebrow: "You think so mate? You think Barobssa would fancy a attack on a fort like this just for revenge.........when he could be out plundering the Seas, undead and without anyone to stop him........" He looked at Will and Norrington’s disbeliving faces, and Jack shrugged: "Alight...well he might.....but it’s not the way he thinks.....savvy? If he wanted revenge he would have destroyed this entire settlement......but he left once he got what he came for......that’s not revenge mates...that’s the beginning of a plan......"He glanced at Rose, instinctivly worried for her:
:Turning to Sarah he asked: "Did he say anything else? Did you over hear anything...anything that might have seemed small and unimportant at the time.....?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` End of Attack on Port Royale ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Start of Recovery and the Chase ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack Sparrow.
:Night had fallen a hour ago, he realized with a shock. the moon was rising in the sky now, and the stars were beginning to sparkle and wheel over head. It was this time, for the changing of the sky and sea around him that Jack savored being a pirate. Adventure, rum, the sea, rum, the sky, rum, beauty, rum, treasure, rum and moments like this.....with rum...that he savored. Of course he never said a word of this to any of his crew. Save the Rum bit....and the fighting......and and the rum parts.:
:he paced the deck slowly, just thinking, and listening to Norrington and Will. He was quiet, unusually so for Jack Sparrow, and he doubted anyone noticed in the chaos that was the aftermath of a attack. He had his own thoughts, his own plans he was making: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aundiul- Jack’s crew A black clothed figure jumped up on the deck of the boat. She sees Jack and runs over to him. In the dark she could not make out his figure. "Where be Jack Sparrow?" She asks gruffly from behind him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Mason Dupont - Jack’s Crew *Mason paces the deck overlooking the injured and helping anywhere he can when all that has been done can be he walks to Jack and says* everyone’s taken care of captain, we;ve done all we can for them tonight *he then awaits a reply* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Jacks Crew Woman Saber had been taking stock of the weapons, seeing how much shot and powder had been used and the like. Then she came on deack to report to the Captain. As she was just about to do so, she heard a fimilar voice and saw a cloaked figure standing just behind the Captian. "Aundiul?" She asked questionaly. "Is that you? Its me Saber, dont ya remember me?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aundiul-Jack’s crew "Saber?! O’course I ’member you but I thought you was dead or somethin’!" She runs over to Saber and hugs her. "Now where be Captain Jack Sparrow? I mean to have a word with ’im." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hawk~ Jack’s crew *A heavily cloaked figure climbs aboards the ship unoticed and slinks in the shadows to the hold. It pauses before the hatch door and looks around cautiously ,making sure that no one is watching before lifting the hatch and disapearing beneath it. Once in the relative safty of below it puts back it’s hood revealing a woman with a pained expression and flashing silver eyes. She tightens the tournecet on her wounded leg and drags herself over to a dark corner, unknowing that up on the deck she had left a trail of water and blood right to her.* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saber~Jacks Crew Woman Saber started to laugh "Hes stand’in right there mate!" She turned her friend around and pointed to Jack who was standing just a few feet away. "Oh which reminds me, Sir I checked our weapon supplies and I believe we have enough to go on without stopp’in and restocking...but it your dicision Jack, Um Captain Jack...heh." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Victoria Brighton (Tobbs)
Tobbs had watched the warning glance mixed with pride and she grinned, but when they moved away, she muttered under her breath something about men and rum. She decided to look about the deck, for perhaps extra weapons, or rum for that matter, and was glad to find both, though there was only a half a pint left. She gathered the extra weapons, went down below to check on the supplies she had ordered and made sure nothing was damaged there, then went back upon the deck and looked over the sea. She was startled to see a figure aboard the deck, and was about to draw her sword when she realized what had happened before, and that not all were trying to kill one of the crew, her cap’n, or herself. She also approached the figure next to Saber, and inquired-
What business have ye with the Cap’n? Tis late to be jumpin aboard his ship and then inquire bout him...she ushered the figure into the moonlight and saw she wasn’t cursed, so she left the questioning to Saber and went to the side of the ship, looking off into the sea. She sighed, wondering why all this had to happen, why things were always so bothersome in her life, why she lost those who she grew to be friends with, friends who had actually loved her...her... She shook her head and tried to focus on what could be done, taking a small sip of the rum, when she saw the Cap’n pacing about, his mind seeming to be far off. She smiled, not wanting to disturb him, but said quietly from where she was-
Cap’n...here... She threw him the rum and nodded her head once, then turned off to head for the dock, wishing also to think. She went to where she last saw the Dying Sun from the dock, taking her shoes off and dipping her feet in,and wished that she could see what was going on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aundiul-Jack’s crew "Oh. Silly me. Cap’n can I be a member of yur crew? I’ve ’eard all ’bout ye!" She says to him and waits. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paul Lettleby~ Barbossa’s Crew Paul was still waiting for Abigail to answer, but as he waited, he dressed her wounds as gently as he possibly could. Then he started on the Governor, all hope now lost in finding out about his brother. He’d never admit it to anyone, but he still cared for the little brat. When he was done with both of them, he stood up, ready to leave. "Well, there ye be. If ye need new dressings t’marra, jus’ let me know, alrigh’?" He turned and started walking out the door. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Lettleby~ Port Royale officer When David heard Norrington’s orders to help the Black Pearl, his face darkened. "Why are we helping pirates, Sir?" Norrington told him to shut up and listen to his instructions. David listened, tight-lipped, and saluted, then went aboard the Dauntless to make sure everything was ship-shape. He checked the moor-heads, the riggings, and a few other things, and reported back to Ally Black. "All ready, Captain."
