Once more.... 1. No spamming! 2. No swearing! 3. Keep ALL posts to at least five sentences... 4. Stay in character at ALL times! 5. If you have a question or comment, ask it in the proper thread! 6. READ ALL POST PRETAINING TO YOU, OR WHERE YOU ARE VERY CLOSELY. SAVVY?! 7. Have fun Here's the plot. It's been three years since anyone has seen so much of a hair bead of Jack Sparrow. Port Royale has been practically devoid of all pirate activity, as Commodore Norrington and Govener Swann have noted. A small gift from Jack Sparrow. He and his daughter Rose have taken to the Seas and havn't looked back. Will and Elizabeth have lived a relavity normal life, with only one visit from Jack and his crew a year after Sparrow escaped the noose and death at Barbossa's hands once more. Yet Barbossa has escaped, no longer immortal, but still seething with hate he goes in search of a way to destroy Jack Sparrow. After a long and difficult search he finds another of Jack's old enemies. A British officier in the Royal Navy...Lieutentant Clarion. Jack defeated Clarion years ago, in a raid on a British merchant vessel. Bitter, and ashamed young officer is still angry over the defeat. Together Barbossa and Clarion form a plot ro rid themselves of their common enemy. Barbossa disgueses himself as a member of the Royal Navy, now using the name Morgan Holland. Yet all is peaceful for a short time. Then news begins to spread in the Caribbean. A new settlement, new and unarmed settlement called Port Dantes is attacked. And not just any attack, but massacared. The small helpless population was brutally slaughtered. And left behind only one survivor at the main Port. Lietentant Clarion. He gives the navy a perfect description of Jack Sparrow and the Pearl naming those who attacked his Port. There is a problem however. Jack Sparrow is nowhere to be found, nor has he heard of the attack. He is in fact out searching for the last of his crew woman's family. Kat...Saber's sister. And he finds her in Tortuga...Kat. And something else happens Clarion didn't count on.... another person survived the battle....a young lady whom calls herself Raven. In Tortuga Jack is caught by the Navy and taken to Port Royale. There he meets a baffled and somewhat angered Norrington and a unsure Will and Elizabeth. And in the shadows waits Clarion and Barbossa, now seen as the heroic survivors of some horrible battle. Norrington's hands are tied. He is bound by the law, as is Governer Swann who can only ask for a delay in Jack's hanging. The Turners, having not seen Jack in three years, believe, or half believe the rumors....after all.....all evidence points to Jack. Will begs the crew of the Pearl to prove Jack's innocence, as the Captain awaits death in his cel. But he's not left alone. Clarion and Barbossa wish to break the man of his spirit. Helped along by small amounts of laudanum in his food and nightly tortures, Jack begins to loose his mind. All to late Clarion and Barbossa's plan is discovered by Jack's crew, who race to tell Norrington. However, they meet Clarion's loyal crew men, who engage the Black Pearl in a battle at Sea, delaying their voyage further. Yet they arrive in time, Norrington's own men sailing out to find the Pearl and escort her crew to Port Royale. Clarion is killed, at the hands of Jack's family and friends.....and Barbossa escapes again. Jack is left in ruins. His mind is gone and his body is weak and poisoned. Will and Elizabeth take him in, as his crew watches, hands tied and not sure of how to help him. For Jack doesn't seem to recongnize any of them, even his own dear Rose. To make matters worse the British Crown wants to kill Jack and plans to send a Royal Escort to Port Royale and hang him. If not for the massacre at Port Dantes, then for his many other crimes againest the Crown and it's Navy. This gives Jack less them a month to become strong again and set sail out into the Caribbean. His crew circle Port Royale as the days go by, visiting the Captain at the Turners, urging him to recover. But Jack's locked in his own shattered mind. In the end it is a attempt at the Turner child's life, on Rose....by Barbossa that Jack is forced to snap himself into reality once more. With the help of his crew, the Turenrs and friendships he's earned along the way, Jack sets out into the Caribbean, Captain of the Pearl once more. Have fun mates....

*Snakes hadn't expected Jack's quick moves, but when they were inflicted upon him, and his head slammed into the bars, he felt unconscioussness slowly engulf him.*
*When he woke, he muttered silently, and, seeing Jack's cold glare upon him, he slipped out of the room like a...well, snake... walking quickly to the tavern and going to his room. Aye, he'd put some worry into that Jack's mind...aye indeed...now all he'd have to do is find Barbossa.* ~~~~~~ *Tobbs was speechless as she struggled in the grasp around her. She wanted to cut his throat once and for all, for he'd delayed her long enough, making a fool out of her by saying he'd wished to help, and now she'd tried to help him and found the truth.*
*She wondered about Jack as she felt herself being dragged away. How was he? Where was he? Was he alright? Were the crew members and the Turners' caring for him? What in bloody hell was going on?*
*She decided what was happning here was not to her liking. Looking over at Saber and whistling slightly to get her attention, she motioned to kick Flames hard...really hard, as hard as she could where it counted. Then, stubbing Stephen's toe, she smashed her knee into his stomach as she spun around and elbowed him in the head.*
*As his release made her feel like flying, she looked towards Saber who'd successfully stunned Flames. As she helped her up and untied her ropes, she grabbed her by the arm and rushed down the alley, only letting the attackers' shouts and curses die down in her mind. What theyd do now, where theyd go now, she knew not...*

~Captain Barbossa
::Barbossa leaned back against the fort wall, hiding himself in the shadows:: That was close... ::He thought as a red-coated guard walked past just around the corner. He took a deep breath. He wasn't used to having to sneak about, but if he was too careless and was seen... He shook his head at the thought:: No, we got Jack right where we be wantin' 'im now, an' I won't do anythin ta mess this up! ::He checked around the corner, and quietly made his way to the stairwell. Climbing down into the cell blocks, Barbossa crept along the hall, searching each cell for Jack. Finally, at the end of the hall, he found was he was looking for:: ::Jack was lying on the hay-covered floor, seemingly asleep, but looking much paler than usual. Barbossa grinned. Apparently Clarion had already been here...:: "Jack, Jack, Jack..." ::Barbossa said gently. He saw the fevered pirate stir:: "'Ow long 'as it been, mate? Two, three years? Far too long, in me opinion." ::He grinned again, knowing Jack could hear him:: "I 'ope ye like yer new quarters, Jack. They suit ye perfectly. Ye know, it wasn' really that hard ta get ye in here... Those foolish guards will do anythin their "dear" Clarion tells them...Heh heh heh!" ::As if he had been summoned, Clarion appeared next to Barbossa and grinned:: "I see you finally decided to show up, eh Captain?" ::Barbossa muttered something under his breath, but didn't reply:: "So mate....what de ye say we should do with our dear friend Jack 'ere?"

:He'd eaten about a hour before hand. He'd been to hungry not too. He'd figurd the food would help...apparently not. He knew it a half hour after the fact......Jack stirred and awoke at once when he heard a familar voice. He turned to look and saw....Barbossa?!:
:Barbossa?" He said uncertainly. He stared at the man next to him, and something seemed to register in his mind. That face. He'd seen the man before. Years ago.....but where?:
:It came back to him ina instant. A Merchant ship. Years ago. He'd sacked the ship.....made off with half the cargo. This was the captain of that ship. He had been much younger then. Jack blinked and stared:
"You're the ones doing this then?" he said in a voice that was hollow, and seemed dead. He knew he looked awful and the way Barbossa were staring at him, he knew they realized he was weakened:
:He looked at them with a cold glare.: "So what be the plan maties? leave me here to rot?" He stared at them. He knew if these two chose to attack him now, he wouldn't stand much of a chance. And the guards still had the wrist irons on him. Damnit:
:Jack looked from one to the other. He'd shown Barbossa mercy before....years ago....he'd never regretted it before. Until now. Now he'd wished he'd finished the job. He worried about Tobbs and Rose. Where were they?:
:He frowned and moved to the cel doors, just out of their reach: "My crew will figure this out soon enough mates....." He said, hoping he was correct. "They'll come and get me out of here...."
:Jack watched as the two men only sneered then walked away, leaving Jack feeling weakend and now extremly worried. He stumbled back a few steps then tumbled to the floor, his energy draining from him rapidly:
:The last dose of poison must have been a really heavy load. He could actually feel the poison doing it's work now, making his stomach churn and his muscles grow steadily weaker. Jack's eyes began to close and he groaned. The cel seemed to swirl around him and he soon he was out cold:

Saber shot Tobbs a greatful look as they ran. She could not waste breath on words. She tought back to what had just happend, and smiled to her self when she otugh about how she had got her feet up and kicked flame in the chest....hard. He had stumbled back and fell on the ground. Now they were running trying to get away.
Flame stood up gasping for breath. He looked down the ally to where Tobbs and Saber were escaping. "If we meet again Saber, it will be the last time you see me!" He yelled. He cursed and spit. holding his chest he breathed hard. "Im gonna kill that girl, if its the last thing I do.

Emma sighed in exasperation at Kat."Yeah,well,ye can take care o' yerself most o' the time,an' those men still captured ye back in Tortuga!How'm I te know she hasn't been captured as well?"She looked around the room,desparate."Will somebody please help me look for her?Anyone?I am NOT leaving her out there alone."Emma stood for a moment,looking at the occupants of the room.Then she turned with a sigh,heading out the door again.She sincerely hoped someone would come with her,as she knew exactly how much good she'd be in a fight with an injured arm.
Rick shook his head.The pub was getting too crowded for his liking.Too many navy officers,even if they were off duty,even if he had given up pirating a year ago.He tossed a few coins to the innkeeper and walked out of the door,emerging into the cool,breezy night.For a while,he wandered the streets.Suddenly,he heard footsteps.Just as he looked up,a girl came running around the corner and straight into him.
"Sorry,said Emma,standing up.
Rick stared.It was the girl from the bar!But he'd thought...
She was no hallucination.Perfectly solid,enough so to knock him down.He rose to his feet,never taking his eyes from her.She didn't seem to notice;she was brusing herself off.She looked ready to run off again,but Rick placed a hand on her shoulder.She looked at him,and her eyes grew wide.
"Emma?"he said,his voice breaking slightly.
Emma stared at the man.No...it wasn't...it couldn't be...
"Rick?"
"I thought you were dead!"they both exclaimed.

[shadow=purple,left,300][glow=teal,2,300]*Arayel sat in the turner library, piles of books about her. She knewshe had seen symptoms like Jack was displaying before, but where, and when? She lowered her head onto the table and closed her eyes. *
*flashback* *The scene came back near immediately the man lying on decks face pale, body shakey, and eyes fevered. They called to her below dcks, she was needed, poison they had said...*
*Present*
*Arayel sat up with a start.* Poison! that's it he's been poisoned! but with what... *She went to the nearby shelves and looked through the books, finally finding the one she was looking for. An almanac of popular poisons and venoms, and commenced looking through them.* Possibly some sort of snake venom? *She muttered* Cobra venom would be to strong, it would kill him instantly, besides the only people who import through here are the english and the spanish so that rules out cobra, as well as scopion. Ok so what is indiginous to england? *she ponders for a while* The cotton mouth would be. if he's been bitten then there would be puncture wounds somewhere. *She rushes out of the door into the street and makes her way towards the fort, people giving her odd stares as she rushed past. She stopped only long enough to mutter hastilly to the gaurd* Jack, poisoned, must hurry, key to cell please? *Her words, and the look on her face was desperate enough that the man handed the key to her without question. then followed her down the steps. She fled down the stairs only to find Jack passed out on the floor. She opened the cell quickly* Wonderful just wonderful. *She groans and sighs heavily as she falls to the floor. Hurriedly she checks his ankles wrists and forearms for any signs of snakebites, but could find none.* But if not a snake then what? *She spies the plate of half eaten food on the ground. Going over to it she sniffs at it quizzically, but it smells fine. She takes one of the small decorative sticks holding up her hair and prods at it gently, she can see no evedence of crushed galss, so the couldn't be it.* Arsenic perhaps? *She muses* No if that were the case then he would have been coughing up blood. *She looks about and sees no evidence of that.* Then what, what? *She sits back on her heals and closes her eyes once more, the scene from the dawn treader coming back to her mind, the mans symptoms so like Jacks.*
*flashback*
Ere now, what's this about poison hear? *Arayel says as she strides up to the decks and towards the man lying pale and shaken on the ground*[/glow][/shadow][glow=teal,2,300] It's Frankilin, he just collapsed all sudden like. [/glow] [shadow=purple,left,300][glow=teal,2,300]Collapsed? *Arayel gave thompson a hard look and the man nodded meekly. Arayel went towards the man lying in a collapsed heap on the floor and turned him over and saw the tell tale powder ringed about his nose.* Opium. *she muttered with distaste.
*present*
Of course! *she near shouts her eyes flying open* But it can't be opium, that's a powder... Some form of derivative then? But what? *suddenly she sees an open flask in the captains pocket. Couple that with the food.* Laudunum. *She bites back a curse* I have to Tell Norrington and quickly. *Dreading leaving the captain alone, but knowing she has too tell someone quickly she turns and runs back up the stairs, shouting for the Commodore*[/glow][/shadow]

-Clarion- *Clarion walked back into the Fort now that night had fallen and was utterly surprised to find Barbossa speaking with Jack.* I see you finally decided to show up eh Captain? *Clarion said then stood for a while and followed Barbossa when he walked away. Although they didn't walk far. They were hidden away in the shadows to make sure no one got in the way of their plans. Then a woman, Arayel, came down and entered Jacks cell. Clarion watched her without ever batting an eye then gasped when she took off up the stairs calling for the Commodore. She must have known about Jack and the poision. Clarion took off after her, as quick as lightning and caught her in the middle of the stairs. He punched her in the face and threw her to the bottom of the stairs, knocking her out cold. He rushed down and back into Jacks cell.* Barbossa, help me get Jack out of here. We've got to hide him somewhere! *Clarion cried, grabbing Jack under the arms. Barbossa grabbed his legs and they led him stealthily out of the fort and hid away for the moment in an old abandoned building.* What do you say we let him have it? He deserves it after all. *Clarion grinned, excited for the moment that was about to come. He shook Jack until the man came to then he smiled.* Hello Jack! *He said then punched him once, twice, and a third time in the face. Then he lifted Jack to his feet by his collar and smashed him into a wall.* After this you'll wish you never robbed anything off my ship and made me look like a bloody fool! *Clarion growled angrily, smashing Jacks head into the brick wall, letting him then fall to the ground. He kicked him a few more times where he had the other night then took a step back and looked at Barbossa.* Would you like a turn? *He grinned.
*Will looked at Kat, a desperate look was in his brown eyes and he wondered why she seemed so casual about everything. He grabbed her shoulders.* Kat somethings not right. We need to go look for them. Especially Tobbs and Rose, I gave Jack my word I'd watch out for them. *He said, then walked to the door and opened it, looking back at her. If you want to come, come. If you don't then I can manage on my own I'm sure. *He said, then hurried out the door and began scanning every street, ally, and dock for signs of Tobbs, Rose, and Saber.*

[shadow=purple,left,300][glow=teal,2,300]*Arayel only made it half way up th e stairs whenshe felt someone grab her from behind and lift her inot the air. She srtruggled valiantly, but the person was definitely stronger than her. She jabbed her elbow into the mans ribs and he dropped her for a moment. She tried to clamber up the stairs but the man caught her by the shoulder and struck her across the face, knocking her back into the wall. He then picked her up once more and threw her down onto the floor. Her head hitting with a solid thud knocking her unconcious. Fifteen minutes later she came too, the man and whoever was with him was gone, and so was Jack.* Damn! *She cursed touching the back of her head gingerly. When she pulled away her fingers she found blood. She intook her breath sharply and winced. Then struggled to her feet, and headed for the stairs. The guard that had follwed her downstairs was lying unconcious on the stone floor as well. Whoever those men were they had to be the ones who set Jack up. She had to find Commodore Norrington and quickly. He was the only one she knew that could possibly help. She staggered up the stairs with difficulty, she was slightly dizzy still and she suspected a concussion at the least*[/glow][/shadow]

*Tobbs suddenly knew where to go. Pulling Saber towards the direction of the fort, she dashed down the streets and looked at the setting sun, then charged towards the jail.*
*When she arrived, she gasped in shock. Arayel lay upon the floor and Jack was missing! Sighing worriedly, she got Arayel to wake up and smiled at the dazed lady, then, letting her recover for a moment, she began to run through the streets with them calling out for jack, knowing he'd probably not respond.*
*She turned a corner when BAM!! She ran into Will, but luckily didnt fall. Telling him everything, there was now a group of people looking for jack. Soon, they heard something coming from a dark corner. Looking over, she saw two figures and a limp figure that appeared to be...JACK!!!*
She actually yelled out his name as if calling to him and telling the others he'd been found, and soon enough they were upon them like bees on honey.*
*Yelling for a few people to help with Jack, she knew she had to stay and fight, and as he was being taken away, she only caught a glimpse of his limp hand. Immediately, she turned to Clarion, recognizing him from the tavern. Drawing her long, sharpest saber, she grinned, almost an ebil sense to it, the glare in her eyes releashing upon it. Aye, he'd be fun to fight, and after he grew to be a bore, she'd have to rid of him, for she knew by the fear in his eyes he was the one who caused this all.*
"Be readied twit, this be yer last day you'll see!!"

(OOC: this was supposed to come before Tobbs' post, but I got distracted, and she finished first. Oh well ) ~Barbossa ::Barbossa watched as Arayel left the room, and then as Clarion followed her. He heard a muffled scream, and then somthing hit the floor. He didn't say anything to Clarion when he returned, but he couldn't help grin at the man's brusque manner:: 'E'd make a good pirate... ::Barbossa thought to himself:: ::Clarion called him out of his musings to help him drag Jack out of the cell. Happy to do anything that might cause Jack pain, Barbossa grabbed his ankles, making sure to twist them to the side, and lifted him out of the cell:: ::Sneaking into an abandoned building nearby, Barbossa watched as Clarion beat Jack into the wall. He laughed, as Jack was so weak he couldn't even put up a fight. Once Clarion was finished, he stepped away from the limp body slumped back against the wall:: "Would you like a turn?" ::He asked slyly:: ::Barbossa walked over to where Jack was half unconscious on the floor::[/i] "Well, well, well. This seems a bit familiar, eh? Jack Sparrow, cowering at the feet of Barbossa... I think I could get used ta this." ::He delivered a swift kick to Jack's jaw, hearing the crack of bone as he fell backwards into the wall again. Barbossa grinned, feeling empowered with a new sense of rage, and began punching Jack hard in the face. After bloodying his lip and cheek, Barbossa dragged him over to the door and propped him against the wall. Turning to Clarion, he asked:: "So, what do we do with 'im now? We can' exactly take 'im back the cell now..."

Sarah nodded in agreement to inviting Saber, Emma, and Kat along with them. You can wear my clothes. Why don't we have Tobbs too. You know how close her and Jack are, and she's tough! I wonder where they are, do you know?

[shadow=purple,left,300][glow=teal,2,300]*Arayel had managed to stagger her way halfway up the steps when suddenly a shape came flying past her, knocking her, and her already sore head against the wall, and causing her to slide down onto the cold stone step in a heap once more. She came to, to the sound of a familiar voice, and blinked her eyes open slowly. Tobbs' smiling face slowly swam into her field of vision. She took a couple moments to shake her head clear, and regain her feet, then ran after Tobbs and Saber. She thought for a moment perhaps one of them should stay behind to tell the Commodore of all that had happened, but deciding he could well figure things out on his own, she followed down the street calling out for Jack. She saw the others turn the corner ahead and dashed behind them, but couldn't stop herself quickly enough, consequentially bumping lightly into Saber. She looked passed Saber's shoulder and saw Will Turner. She still hadn't told anyone of Jack's being poisoned, and now was the perfect chance to tell one of Jacks crew women.* Saber, I have to tell ye. Le Capitaine, he's been poisoned, laudunum. *She managed to say between short gasps for breath. She had no sooner got the words out then they were on the run again, Will joining them. Soon She heard Tobbs call out Jack's name, she noticed the differnce in tone right away, and turned to see where Tobbs' was staring. Down a darkened alley she could see two figures carrying a prone form.* Saber, Monsieur Turner! *She called to the others.* Tobbs' she 'as found Capitaine Sparrow. *She yelled as she took off running after Tobbs towards the men. They dropped Jack as soon as they saw the group of people running towards them, and Arayel fell to the ground near Jack just as Tobbs yelled for people to help him. She knew shed be no good with a sword. He was badly injured, the men having beaten him severely, and his skin was still pale. She heard the sounds of someone moving closer to them, and drew her pistol from it's holster under her left arm readying it to fire.* If I can aim me gun when I'm dead drunk with Rum, ye best be believin' I can do the same with naught but a little blood leakin' from me 'ead. *She said coldly before looking up to see who stood over them.*[/glow][/shadow]

:Jack's eyes opened up, long enough to see the face of Clarion, before he was knocked into a wall. After that, he didn't open his eyes, nor did he want to. he felt boots and fists slamming into him, and he tried to turn away, and sheild his face:
:But they were having known of that, and a single good soild punch landed on his jaw. Jack's head was becoming foggy. He could hear Barbossa and Clarion......but their voices were becoming more like sounds....not real words:
:the attack on his body became more enranged, a lot of pent up angrer was going into this beating, and Jack's mind began a attempt to block out the pain. And it did. He passed out:
:Suddenly, he felt himself dropped, and his back hit the wall of a building. He let himself slump over in a heap. He heard sounds. Something...someone was coming nearby...he could hear people fighting. He curled himself over, and for a split second, he thought about....trying to escape. But he had lost a the desire to save himself. He wanted to die:
:Someone came near him, and pulled out a gun, he knew that sound at least. He flinched. He didn't want to get shot too. The people around him were talking to him, He heard his name a few times, but he only moved into a crouching position and hid his face. He didn't dare move:
;People began talking to him. Then someone triedto get him to stand, he pulled away, with a growl. Someone tried to speak to him, and he didn't really understand the words. Finally, a few people crowded around him, and he huddled over:
:They picked him up and Jack's instincts took over. No! He wasn't going to get beaten again. He struggeld for all he was worth, Until finally...it was simply to much for him. He let out something like a desperate cry and blacked out.:
