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 POSTS 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....

:Jack came up towards a knot of his crew fighting on the Cutlass's deck. Pulling out a pistol he took a shot at the nearest oncoming pirate from Barbossa's crew and dived into teh melee with a sort of renewed spurt of energy:
:He looked around concerned for Will now....wondering if the eunuch was alright.....then he spotted his prey. Barbossa....staring into the mess with a sort of grin on his face. This only enraged Jack further:

(OOC- Well, this is familiar... *Rolls eyes* No time to try to catch up on all the timeI've missed due to the fact that we didn't have a phone line for three weeks, so I'm just gonna continue as if I'd been here for the rest of the fight, savvy? Here we go then )
~Barbossa
::Barbossa stood watching the fray below him, wondering misbegotten slob trained his crew to fight. He shook his head at the sorry sight, and drew his own sword::
::Stepping down onto the main deck, he began slashing away at his enemies. He saw Jack Monkey out of the corner of his eye as she jumped onto one man's back and began biting at his neck. Barbossa smiled, glad to see that someone at least knew how to fight::
::He pulled his sword out of a man's chest, kicking the lifeless body to the deck, and took a moment to look up. That's when he saw him::
::Jack Sparrow was standing by the railing of the Cutlass, sword drawn, staring straight at him. Barbossa's fist gripped the hilt of his sword tighter, as his sight went red. He began to make his way through the fray directly toward his foe...::

:Jack grinned....watching Barbossa move towards him...aye this would be interesting:
"just you and me Barbossa.." Jack said, as they came within reach of each other. Jack grinned a cold grin.....eyes glittering black and filled with rage. "I should never have let you live mate......"
;Then running his blade along Barbossa's jack glared.: "it ends now......"

::Barbossa sneered:: "Well ye be right about one thing. Ye shoulda killed me when ye 'ad the chance, mate. Cause once I'm done with ye..." ::He lowered his voice:: "...yer dear friends the Turners be next. And who knows... mayhap I'll bring the two young ones up ta be pirates, just.like.me."
::Jack ran his sword dangerously along Barbossa's, and took a step back:: "This ends now"
::Barbossa lunged forward, striking Jack's sword as he raised it in front of him. He continued slashing and blocking, until the two of them were alone at the front of the ship. Barbossa locked swords with Jack, and leaned forward, grinning wildly::
"How long ye be prepared ta keep this up, mate?"

*Jacqueline hadn't stuck around in the fight very long. She avoided as many contact as possible, feeling she might want to be ready to defect, in case Barbossa would be defeated. Using the chaos of battle she had gotten into limited hand-to-hand combat and made a thankfull usage out of her pistol. Having killed only few enemy pirates and having manouvered with great caution around the deck she saw Barbossa making his stand against no one other than the rumored Jack Sparrow. She watched for a short moment and then quickly made her way to the cabin where the Twins would be. Quickly she turned around, her back to the door...seeing not what she had hoped to see.*

*Tobbs grinned at Jack, but when he disappeared from sight, she sighed worriedly. Swinging back to the Pearl with the others, she shot a foe as it swung after her, barely slashing her across the back.* *Landing softly, she looked around for him again, and for Will and the others, when she felt a tugging on her shirt. Turning, she saw Maria's pale figure standing close. Listening to the girl's words, she smiled and blocked the blows that were being aimed at her, heading for the stairs so to keep Maria safe in a room.* *Finding one, she sighed again. She remembered how last time Maria emerged anyway, so, whispering "Stay Close" to her, she went back atop deck.* *Looking towards the Captain's cabin, she gasped, for there was a pirate ready to get in. At the same time out of the corner of her eye she saw Jack and Barbossa fighting. She took a step towards their direction, then stopped and ran towards the cabin. Jack didn't need her help, she thought...yet...* *Drawing her sword and looking backk to check on Maria, she aimed the tip of the blade forward, right to the lady pirate's chest. Aiming to not even stop, she was suprised when the other hit Tobb's blade quickly, almost knocking it out of her hands.* "Well now, ya got reflexes I admit. Pwetty quick. But yer footing is all off. Let's see 'ow you'll do when I do...this!" *She thrust her sword towards Jacqueline's shoulder, but was dismayed when she blocked it and almost slashed her arm. They continued on this way for a bit, but soon Tobbs grew worried of Jack's doings, so, glancing over at Maria and saying without words something to the effect of- "Take over, and protect your nephew, niece, and sister-in-law!" *She slammed her blade down upon the other's, shocking her foe long enough to leap out of the way and make sure Maria blocked her reflex with Maria's own sword.* *Now she ran forward. She saw Jack and Barbossa still fighting, and grinned when she viewed Jack fairing well in the fight. She was about to leap up when a hideous face jumped out before her...* *She skid to try and halt, staring at the terrible grin and those eyes. She shivered when she heard the voice of the creature.* "Well now, iffff it isssn't Misssss Brighton, Tobbsssss back ffffrom the dead! I guessss I'll 'ave to sssend you back where you came from, Misssssy!"*Snakes! He'd made it this far! She thrust her sword forward again, and on they fought. He seemed to be using her wound to an advantage, and kept aiming to bump into it, making her wince in pain. He, still grinning slyly, jammed his hilt into her stomach where the gash was, making her fall back (not fall down ) in a backwards walking hunched over motion that clearly made note she couldnt breathe from the blow.* *She bumped into the side of the ship, and she heard just behind her the shootings and firings of the Cutlass. Snakes moved forward. She turned her eyes a bit and saw Rassie coming forward too, a grin upon her face too. She closed her eyes, and for a moment heard nothing, naught but the sea and the wind. She rubbed her finger along the golden sword charm around the necklace upon her neck. She had to keep fighting, or try.* *Opening her eyes again, everything seemed in slow motion. She looked down and saw her gash had reopened, for the color red began to spread upon the white bandage, and onto her clothes. She straightened up, and drew her saber. Snakes came forward, and slammed his blade on hers. She took a step back to support herself. Rassie came next to him, and did the same, but she had nowhere to step back now. Her heels were at the edge of the ship. She tried to block the blow, but alas...* *Stephen was helping load the cannons on the Pearl, unaware of which side he should fight for. He looked around for those he knew and spotted Snakes and Rassie fighting someone near the edge of the ship...*
*He somewhat gasped when he saw who it was. They were attacking Tobbs! He glared and ran forward. He'd told Snakes and the group he didn't want her dead! He wanted her alive! After all, he thought she might be a relative of his, as a man in the French jail had once told him. 'Look for the lass- hair of gold and eyes of the sea, Topsword she's called, a pirate is she...' He'd heard the mumbled rhyme and thanked the man, then asked around. When he was directed to a Topsword Tobbs, he found Snakes and directed him on what to do...*
*Apparently they wanted revenge on her though. He set his jaw straight and ran on, but was too late. He saw Snake's blow, then Rassie's, and knew the lady pirate, his blood, his relative, could not take it in her disposition. He pushed the two out of the way and reached forward, trying to grab her, and grabbed ahold of something around her neck. But alas, she fell backwards into the sea, and a single necklace with a golden charm remained in his hand.*
*His eyes almost filled with tears as he looked to the sea, and saw she was nowhere in sight between the two ships, so not even he could dive down and find her in the big blue ocean. He turned slowly, and glared at Snakes and Rassie, who now were hunched togeter in fear. He drew his sword out, and the two began to run. Chasing after them, the necklace with the golden sword charm slipped through his hands, and fell to the wooden floor of the ship, with a single cling, and that was all...*

:Jack's face twisted into a snarling glare when Barbossa asked how long he was planning to keep this up:
"Until your blood is running on the deck mate!" Jack spat out. The fight continued, furiously until something in Jack's mind seemed to explode. Turning he made out Tobbs fighting with another pirate.....and she fell off the deck.
"TOBBS!" Jack's shout cut through the din like a canon exploding. Kicking Barbossa away from him, Jack ran, cursing himself that he wouldn't get the chance to kill Barbossa now, but knowing he'd not be able to live knowing he'd let Tobbs go.Without thinking further, he ran for the edge of the deck, hearing Barbossa's laughter as he ran.:
:Executing a perfect jack knife dive, his body arched gracefully in the air, then snapped straight as he plunged into the sea after Tobbs. Sea water engulfed him for a split second, in which his body adjusted to the shock of being underwater....then he swam. Tobbs.....:
:He saw her and began swimming towards her, his lungs burning from the lack of air. He had to get to her. Pulling her body to his he broke the surface of the water, and struggled to remain above:
"TobbS!" He sputtered, praying she wasn't dead. "Don't be dead...don't be dead...." He muttrered, spalshing frantically in teh water. "Tobbs....come on lass......talk to me!" He kicked, trying to pull level with the Pearl. If he could get her on deck.......if he could only get her on deck....she'd be alright...he'd kill Barbossa with his bare hands if he had to now. "Tobbs? Victoria?" He said, kicked harder. "Come on lass....you can't die on me...answer!"

Emma hadn't seen Tobbs fall,having been busy with a cannon.But as she was aiming her cannon,she saw Jack come running out of the thick of the battle and dive overboard.She dropped everything,going over to the side of the Pearl.
Jack surfaced a few moments later,struggling with theeffort of holding himself and another above water-Tobbs!Emma looked around for anything to help them.Spying a length of rope,she dashed over and retrieved it,tying it to the side of the ship. She threw the rope down,and the end landed in the water,a few feet from Jack and Tobbs.
"Jack!Grab on,mate!"

:Jack's eyes turned to Emma and he nodded, then lashed the rope around he shoulder, in a loose harness, then pulled Tobbs's body as close as he could to him, then shouted up at Emma:
"Get us up!" He said, his voice suddenly becoming strained from th effort of keeping them both above the water. "Hurry!" He was truly grateful his crew piad attention to him in times like this. Otherwsie he may not have any way of getting Tobbs back alive.:
:As hewas hualed onto the deck, he gave a sputter of thanks to his rescuers and began coughing. He turned to Tobbs, and cradled her to him: "Come on Victoria......"

Emma held on tightly to the rope,pullling with all of her strength.Neither Jack nor Tobbs were particularly heavy,but it was a bit of a strain for one woman to pull the both of them up...Suddenly,she felt someone else pulling beside her.
Rick gave Emma a small smile,as he helped her drag Jack and Tobbs back on the deck.
Tobbs and the captain landed on the dack,and Emma glared at Rick."Yeh're 'urt,yeh should be restin'!"She all but shouted at him.Seeing no reaction from Rick,she sighed."Get back in cover,an' don' even think about movin' until this battle's over!"Her voice was harsh,but her eyes were filled with concern.She glanced at the bloody rags tied around Rick's stomach.
Rick sighed."An' 'ere I thought I was supposed teh be the one with common sense..."He grinned at her,and wandered back over to where she'd left him before,sitting down obediently.
Emma leaned down next to Jack,looking anxious."Is she breathin'?"

Post by Will Turner on Oct 5, 2003 20:17:33 GMT -5
*Will saw Jack had finally found Barbossa and he grinned at his friend.*[/i] Get a good blow in for me mate *He said softly to himself then fought his way back over to the Pearl. His side was throbbing now and blood was seeping through the makeshift bandage he had tied about him. He hurried over to the cabin that Elizabeth and the twins were in and stepped inside, quickly shutting the door behind him.* Elizabeth are you and the twins alright? No ones tried to come in have they? *He asked as he rushed over to a desk and started rummaging through it. The twins ran up and hugged him. James squeezed him, happy to see him, but causing further pain to Wills side. He winced and gently pushed the children back. He kneeled down in front of them and they looked concerned.* Are you alright daddy? *They asked. He just smiled and nodded then stood back up.* Yes, I'm fine don't worry. Your dads been through worse then this. *He said then, out one of the little windows, he caught the sight of Tobbs being attacked then falling over the edge. He gasped and ran to the door, dropping the bandages he had picked up out of the desk drawer.* I'll be right back Elizabeth. *He said and rushed out but she was already gone. He looked over the edge but couldn't see her and his heart sank. Then out of no where came Jack diving into the water. When he surfaced with her Will sighed in relief. WHen they were aboard he rushed over to them, fending off any pirates who dared to try to attack the two while they were helpess against attack.* Jack, Jack is she....alive? *Will asked between blocks and blows.*

* Maria was exhausted from fighting and was glad Tobbs agreed to protect her. But when Maria was led to a cabin, she was releived and was told to take care of Catherine, James and Elizabeth. She agreed and fled into the cabin. Knowing they would be save. she still made sure and locked all doors and windows when coming back she only saw Wil fled out the door closing it behind him. She heard shots and ran to the window to only see Tobbs fly over the side. Her heart stopped at that sight.. But she knew she had to remain calm. Her head was filled with thoughts of what would happen. She ran to where Elizabeth and the children were and huddled them together* [b/]" It will be alright."[/b]

Evelyn had finished letting anther cannon off when she looked over to the left of the gunwalls and noticed Emma, Rick, Jack and Tobbs. She furrowed her brows and looked at the Cutlass' sails. They were holey, and tattered. There was no way they were gettin' away now. Evelyn thought to herself. Then she headed over. "Is she alright?" she asked wiping sweat from her forehead.
