:Jack, mad in his own brillance grabbed a rope hanging off the Cutlass and began climbing for all he was wore. Muttering an cursing and swearing nd grumbling the entire way up, until he tumbled in a rather rumpled heap on th deck.:
:Looking around Jack gave himself time to look towards the Pearl and whistled as loud as he possibly could before heading for the lower decks, hell bent on getting tothe kids first:
:And find them he did. All he had to do after all was follow the shouting of James and Catherine's voices. Thinking some harm was coming ot them, Jack raced for the voices and all but barreled through the door.:
:When he saw the kiddies were merely arguing he sighed and bent down in front of them: "Kiddies...remember me?" He asked. They bow nodded and stared up at him. "Right.....now...I want to get you to yer mum and daddy....savvy? So yer going to have to try not to do anything stupid..." They frowned at him and Jack ruffled their hair. "Good...looks like you didn't get much of your father's blood in you.....that's good news for the Caribbean..." James and Catherine stuck their tongues out at him. Jack grinned.
"Alright kiddies...now....we're going to play a game called: "Do whatever Captain Sparrow tells us to because if we don't we're all going to end up in Davey jones's Locker....savvy?"
:Wide eyed the twins nodded, and Jack held out a hand: "Now...don't leave my side....got that? Unless I tell you to..." With that...Jack listened. He could hear cannon fire. No doubt Will and his crew had begun the assualt on the Cutlass. Good for them. Now....to get the twins off. He doubted they could swim....finally e just thought maybe it'd be best to swing them over. But going on deck now wasn't a option. Not with guns going off every few seconds.:
:Istead he ushered the twins deeper into the room, and moved some furtinutre and barrels, giving them a sort of fort like protection: "Now....you two stay there for a minute...while I go out and have a look around...savvy?" The twins nodded, looking scared. Jack frowned. "Don't go cryin' on me......"

Rick watched as Jack climbed up the side of the Cutlass.The Captain turned around,and they heard a whistle,which,to be audible at this distance,must have been quite loud."That's the signal," he said,halfway to himself.He lit the fuse on the nearest cannon,adjusting the aim slightly.
Emma nodded."Aye...that'd be it."She grinned."Abou' time..."She pulled her pistol out again,firing at a man who had been manning the cannons on the Cutlass,then set off another of the Pearl's cannons.She took another shot with her pistol,then reloaded the cannon.

Sarah runs into and empty cabin, and changes quickly. She comes out wearing some black breeches, and off-white blouse, and her hair is in a tight bun. She walks over to Elizabeth. Liz, where's Jack? Have you heard any news?

" Alright Liz." * Maria said. As She watched the crew scrable about the deck she went below and came back up. She was already changed and had nothing to do. She puled a chair up to Elizabeth and twiddled with her gun. Waiting for the precise moment.*

A whistle and a loud blast woke Evelyn from her thoughts. A cannon had fired. The cannon came from the Pearl and screams were heard as Emma had shot a cannon making a hole in their ship. Evelyn grinned and twirled the sword in her hand. She looked around at another cannon and headed to it. She loaded it up. There was another blast and the boat rocked tremendously. They had been hit. "Lookout!" Evelyn called to warn the others of incoming cannons. She took the cannon and aimed it at the other ships mainmast and lit it. "BANG!" The cannon went off as Evelyn covered her ears and looked on at the distruction she had caused. The mainmast still stood but she had at least made a hole in their sails.

*Something about Jack whispering something to Will sparked rememberance in her eyes. She grew suspicious and worried suddenly. Trying to edge forward, she was barely there when Jack began edging away to the ships' edge. Immediately she knew what was happening. She raced forward in hopes to stop Jack, but twas too late...*
*When she didnt see him surface either, she began to place all her weapons upon the deck, all but her saber. She was about to dive in after him, when she felt arms wrap around her waist as she leaped forward.*
*She winced in pain as she felt her wound being pushed on and she began to struggle to get away from her captor. Upon turning, she twas none other than Stephen. Irritation and annoyance flashed in her eyes.*
"Le' go 'a me ya bloody twit! Think ye I'll let Jack off ta yer ship all by 'is onesies?"
*Stephen had hidden long enough before he knew there was none around. He went on deck, and saw Jack dive off to the side. Immediately he looked for Miss Brighton, knowing she'd soon be overboard as well. He found her and grabbed her just before she dived into the sea. She was indeed struggling to get away, but he had the advantage of not being wounded.*
"Now I know we've been in this situation before, havent we? But no mind that, Captain Sparrow knows what he's doing, and I think you jumping off into the ocean after him wont help. Look now, he's climbing up the ship! Now stop your madness and help your crew! Be useful!"
*Tobbs felt like a child being scolded for what she thought was right. And, if your stubborn and obstinate enough, as she can be at times, you'd fight back...well, she did, but though success was not on her side, she continued to pound her fists into his shoulders and back as he dragged her away from the side of the ship.*
*A cannon fired nearby. Tobbs looked up startled, as did her captor, and she took that to advantage by slamming a bottle of rum upon his forehead, knocking him out cold. Grinning, she gathered her weapons, loadedher pistol, and went next to the others, waiting for the opportune moment to jump aboard the Cutlass without being shot or hurt. Measuring the distance, she waited for the crew of the Cutlass...*
*Rassie sent a mocking glare to Snakes. Itd been a long day, and he'd been short with her, telling tall tales and such. Though she had yet to speak to Barbossa, she saw him a few times and treated him as highly yet as lowly as one could be treated. She honored the man, yet she mocked him. She helped in all ways she could, yet she complained about it. She spoke well wishes to him, yet in silence she swore she'd hurt him one day. Twas her character you might say, and her appearance could be described as a panther, sly, thin and flexible, deceitful, and altogether tricky.*
*Well, twas on this day when the Pearl approached. She tied her raven black hair in a pony and messily put on her hat. Greasing her pistol and saber abit, she watched with excitement as the ship neared. Soon, her shots were being fired and she slashed a rope, grabbing it and swinging over to the Pearl. Others followed, and soon she made her way forward. She was about to strike down a man with no tongue, when she grew numb and bewildered. There was that lass she'd killed! Twas he ghost come to haunt her! She almost fainted, tried screaming (no noise was heard), and as the lass charged towards her, she graspedher saber and waited. They clashed swords, and she began to grin. Wait now, this, would be fun...*
*Snakes sighed and laughed at the same time. That Rassie tried too hard to impress. Course he thought she was trying to impress him, but all in all twas not true. He noticed the day seemed too good...and then the Pearl came into view, and shots were fired. He cursed and muttered to himself, then saw Rassie jump to the Pearl.*
*Now he'd not let her have all the fun! After ordering men on the cannons and shooting a few times himself, he swung onto the Pearl and began fighting with some crew members...how good it felt to fight again!*

:Jack was cursing silently, as he began looking for a way out. Finally he just crouched down next to the twins, and gave them a comforting grin:
"We'll get off this ship once me crew has broaded it? It'll be easier in the confusion...."He really hoped this was getting through the twin's heads. They looked about ready to cry their heads off.:
:He didn't blame them really. Must be a scary thing to be a child in the middle of cannon fire....:
:By this time Jack had concluded swinging across with the twins would be easiest.....but he could only down one at a time. He needed a extra set of arms:

Rick swore loudly when their ship was hit.He felt the blast of Evylyn's cannon,and shouted to Emma above the noise of the fighting.
"Emma!Yeh've got that cannon loaded?Aim 'er a' the mast!"
Emma looked at Rick,her pistol still smoking,as the man she had just shot fell into the sea.She glanced at the mast,at the damage Evylyn's cannonball had done,and grinned.She nodded to Rick,and lit the cannon.
The mainmast of the Cutlass emitted a groan,and toppled over,missing the Pearl by a few feet.Just then,Emma noticed part of the crew of the Cutlass swinging over.She raised her pistol once again,and shot at one,grazing their arm.She sighed,muttering about her aim.
A pair of pirates landed near Rick.Immediately,he pulled out his sword,attacking the nearer one.The man shrieked,falling over and clutching his chest where Rick had stabbed him.The second aimed a pistol at his back...
"Rick,look out!"Shouted Emma.The man who had been about to shoot Rick turned just in time to see Emma's blade coming at him,before he fell.
Rick stared as the man fell in a hap at Emma's feet."Thank you,"he said after a moment.
"You're welcome.'Ow ye ever survived without me,Rick,I'll never know..."
Rick grinned,shotting at a man over Emma's shoulder."I could say the same to you."
"Aye...ye probably could,"replied Emma,and she turned to fight yet another attacker.

*Tobbs saw Rassie and glared, flinching as she remembered her wound. Unable to stop her anger from this one, she approached, grinning as the other had.*
"Prepare to meet 'ole 'Obbs in Davy Jones's Locker!!"
*She slashed at her, and soon they were deep in battle. She felt as if she should be somewhere else, so, using the fallen mast on the other ship to her advantage, she swung onto the Cutlass and landed just where she'd known would be right. Rassie, on the other hand, fell for the trap and landed so her foot went through a large pile of ropes. It tangled her foot in, and Tobbs ran off, ignoring the yells and shouts of a mad opponent, searching for Jack.*
*She found him in one of the cabins with the twins. When she first entered, Jack drew his sword and had it before her before she could remember she didnt tell him twas her, but she grinned when he lowered it upon seeing it wasnt one of the Cutlass crew.*
"Well now, whatta we got 'ere?"
*She smiled at the frightened twins and came over*
"Remember me? Tobbs it be?"
*They nodded slowly, and she again smiled, then looked to Jack.*
"Alright, we'll gettem to the Pearl in no time, I'll get Catherine, you get James, savvy?"
*And in no time, they were ready to head for the Pearl. Tobbs was waiting for the coast to be clear, as well as Jack's signal...*

:Jack had hoisted James up in one arm and told the child to hold onto his neck if he had to, which James was doing.......almost to the point of choking, but Jack didn't bother to correct him.:
:Instead he grabbed a rope, shouted for Tobbs to follow and swung over to the Pearl, turning purple in the face from Jame's tight grip.:
:It wasn't a graceful landing by any accounts, in fact Jack, still a bit weak tumbled over in a wet crumpled heap, and made to stand:
: Only to drag James to the deck, as bullets whizzed by. James clung to him, and Jack huddled over the child.... Sheilding James with his body ,he waited for Tobbs to follow. Once she did, he had her and the little girl down next to him, then shouted:
"Get them to my cabin and lock yerselves in!" That said he made a leap back for the Cutlass, sword drawn:

*Tobbs followed and nodded her head at Jack's words, though she grew anxious at the thought of locking her own self in and leaving Jack with a sword and a need for revenge...*
"Just dont do anythin' stupid..."
*Picking up both of the children, she ran to Jack's cabin and did exactly what he said, and as she set the wide eyed children down upon the bed, she grabbed two mugs and filled them with water, then handed them to the twins to drink. Then, grabbing a wet cloth, she washed their ickle dirty faces and cursed Barbossa under her breath for taking them.*
*She guarded them wiith the uttermost carfeulness, hoping Elizabeth caught word of the twin's safe arrival, and hoping Will was watching Jack for her.*
"Well now, did I ever tell ya about the time Jack was upon 'is ickle island once again, and the Commodore made a gash in his ship?"
*They shook their heads, and she smiled down at them, scooting up a chair and makindg sure they were comfy and cozy, trying to get their attention off of what was happening outside, praying the entire time Jack wouldnt do anything stupid.*
"Ya see, we'd been sailin'..."

" Emma!" * She screamed.*
" "ave we gotten any more cannons.?"
* She ran to her tripping on every ones feet.* " Load then with everything. This battle won't end easy!"

:Jack went below deck, relativly unnoticed....as quite a bit was going on up top. Ever so carefully he up turned a number of powder barrels and made a single trail leading to a pile of them:
:With a glitter in his eyes he was about to pull the trigger on his pistol when he stopped. He wasn't one for destroying perfectly good ships.....and his crew was on board still. He thought it a moment, then left, ready to hunt down his enemy. The one person he wanted dead:

Emma heard a series of thumps as something landed on the deck of the Pearl .She turned,ready for an enemy,to see Jack,Tobbs,and the Turner twins land safely on the deck.She breathed a sigh of relief,then turned to Rick,smiling devilishly.
"Now that we don' 'ave te worry abou' innocent bystanders an' all...whatsay we go give those lousy kidnappers 'Ell on their own ship?"She grabbed onto a rope,but before she got anywhere,heard Maria asking her something."Aye,the ammunition for those ones is right behind ye!"She shot another man with the hand that wasn't holding the rope."Ye an' Evelyn should be able te take care of it..." And she swung over to the Cutlass,her sword loose in its sheath,ready to be in her hand as soon as she landed..
"Right behind ye!"
Rick jumped from the ship,onto the fallen mast,and climbed up onto the Cutlass,shooting as he went.He had always had a wonderful sense of balance.When he got to the other ship,Emma was already there,locked in combat with another pirate.He turned away from her,knowing she could handle himself as well as he in a fight-possibly better,he was slightly out of practice.He pulled out his pistol,shooting a man who had been about to light a cannon,glad that his aim had not lleft him.
