*Arayel figured Tobbs wasn't goping to wake for what seemed a long while. Having manged to cool her temperature back to normal she decided it would be far better to let the woman sleep.* Sleep be the finest 'ealer known to man after all. *She whispered to herself making her way out of the captains cabin just in time to see the Cutlass explode.* What in the bloddy 'ell?! *She whispered ruching to the ships railing.* Jack, wher be jack? *She said frantically looking about then she noticed Evelyn pulling the unconcious man back to the ship. INce they had him abord Arayel forced her way through to stand next to Emma.* 'ow dare 'e tell me to keep Tobbs safe for him, then go do a fool bloody thing like that. Blast 'im! *She seethed. She nodded as she heard Emma say they should get him to his cabin* Aye mate I agree with you there though we should be carful with 'im, 'e might 'ave a small concussion. SHe bent doewn with emma to take Jack under one shoulder, all the while grumblling and cursing under her breath.* Bloody, tom foolish, scallywagged, pie bald, son of a dog. Yer damn near lucky ye didn' kill yerself. *She could se Emma giving her s idelong glance but really didn't care. The man wasn't thinking when he pulled that stunt and she was bloody well intending on telling him as much once he came round.*

:At first Jack didn't move....didn't consider breathing until he was laid on deck. Slowly he opened one hand and felt the deck with his palm. Felt the gentle swaying of the Pearl under him....and he could hear familar voices.:
: Only then did he trouble himself to even open his eyes. When he did he rolled them a bit and looked up at his crew, mentall coutning them....keeping track of who he heard....who he could see. Then he muttered:
"The kiddies? Tobbs? The Eunuch? Are they alright?" He asked slowly. "The crew...is everyone.....?" But he stopped. to tired and in shock to go on. He just let himself be dragged towards his cabin. And noted someone was swearing up a storm. It made him smile and he chuckled vaguely, then lulled back off into darkness:

"Everyone's fine,Jack,"said Emma,lifting him up with Arayel's help."All the crew's 'ere,the kiddies,Tobbs,Will,we're all fine."
She chuckled slightly,hearing Arayel's comments on the stunt Jack had just plled,though she certainly agreed with every word that was being said.Jack glanced at Arayel and chuckled as well,then seemed to go unconscious again."I think 'e laughed at yeh,mate..."Just then,she spotted someone on the deck.
"RICK!Yeh stupid,worthless son of a monkey's uncle!I told yeh teh stay in the cabin,what in th' name of 'Ell are yeh doin' on deck?"
Rick blinked,stepping back slightly in case Emma's violent tendancies got the best of her."'Ere now," he protested,"yeh 'aven't even 'eard my side of it!The fight's over,isn' it?"
Emma ignored the second part of Rick's protestation."I don' 'ave teh listen teh yer excuses,yeh great idiot,I know what yeh came up 'ere for!Yeh heard the explosion,and yeh came teh see if we were all right,even though I told yeh teh stay put!"
Rick said nothing,merely pondered silently how frighteningly well Emma could read his thoughts.
Emma smiled faintly at Rick."Well,as long as yeh're up 'ere,come over 'ere an' help us carry Jack,savvy?"
"All right,"he replied,and went behind Jack to hold his shoulders up,and they made their way slowly to the cabin.

:Jack grumbled in protest when to many people began moving about. In fact he just wanted to lie on the deck but couldn't seem to form the words to tell his crew that. Finally he got out:
"Deck...." He gestured vaguly to the wheel of the Pearl and muttered mostly to himself about Barbossa then asked: "Is he gone?"

Post by Captain Morgan Barbossa on Oct 13, 2003 20:37:13 GMT -5
(Sorry ta disappoint ye mate, but ye didn't think ye could get rid o' me that easy, didye Jack me boy? Muahahahahaaaa!!)
::Barbossa could see what was happening, but couldn't react. As the pistol flew out of his hands, he knew then that he was no longer in control. In an instant, Jack was firing at the barrels, and Barbossa was powerless to stop him::
::Everything seemed to move in slow motion. As soon as the bullet left the gun, Barbossa was running for the edge of his ship, trying to make it to the water before - BOOOOOOM!! The barrels exploded, ripping apart the deck and cabins, and flinging Barbossa headlong into the air, followed by a blazing cloud of flames::
::The next thing Barbossa knew was that he had hit the water, hard, and there was a terrible pain in his right leg. He could see the water turning red with his blood all around him, and the last light of the sun shining through the surface of the sea to where he was falling....falling...::
::He couldn't help but grin at the situation. He didn't have the strength to try to swim to safety, and his bleeding leg would attract hungry sharks to him any minute::
"Looks like this be it, ol' Cap'n..." ::He thought to himself, as the light began to fade:: "He's finally won..." ::Barbossa's last thoughts were of Jack, before he blacked out::
::The water was cold, and she was becoming short of breath, but Jack Monkey refused to let her master die. She could see him now, his tattered old coat floating around him in the water. She could taste the blood heavy in the water, and she knew she had to hurry::
::She swam faster and faster despite her tired legs, until she was within reach of his leg. She grabbed a hold of his boot, and took off for the surface::
::She came up panting, but she had her master! Clinging to a nearby peice of debris from the sunken Cutlass, Jack dragged herself ontop of it, and then tried to revive Barbossa. After a moment of poking at his face, he coughed, and pulled himself on board as well::
::Barbossa looked down at Jack Monkey, then smiled, and held out his arm to her. She climbed up onto his shoulder, and began to play with his hair::
::Looking around him, the first thing Barbossa saw was the Pearl sailing off toward the horizon, and a jealous rage filled him. He started to move, but the yelped with pain. Remembering his leg, he looked down at it, and nearly fainted. His right calf, from the knee down, had been almost completely severed, doubtless from a piece of flying shrapnel from the explosion. It seemed though that the wound had been cartarized, the only thing keeping him from bleeding to death on the spot::
::He looked back at the Pearl, and sneered::
"No matter 'ow long it takes, no matter 'ow far ye run, I swear I'll make ye pay fer this, Jack Sparrow. An eye for an eye, me ol' friend..."

Emma heard the Captain's request,and nodded to Arayel and Rick.They placed him gently down on the deck,near the wheel.Rick backed off,but Emma began pacing nearby,something nagging at her mind,though she knew that Jack needed to rest.
"Cap'n?"She asked finally."Did...did 'e say anythin'?About Saber?"Her eyes were filled with worry,and as soon as she finished speaking,she bit her lip-a habit of hers which she had yet to rid herself of.She kept her eyes on the Captain,hoping for a miracle...dreading the answer...

Evelyn chuckled mostly just happy the cap'n was safe. She stood and heard the captain ask about Barbossa. Evelyn only noticed blood in the waters. She shrugged her shoulders..." Well Capn' he's gone...meanin' I haven' seen him but the blast should have killed him." Evelyn said with a bad feeling. Evelyn noticed him motioning to the helm of the ship. She laughed. "Capn' what you need now mate is some rest..." and headed toward the deck of the ship where the cannon had ripped part of it off. She looked around. "Not bad I should say. At least our ship is still afloat. A few repairs and it should be top notch once again." She smirked and looked at the bood stained, and debris covered deck. "But the mess will be harder to clean." Evelyn kicked at a few dead bodies on the ship. Evelyn picked one up and tossed it over the side of the ship back into the waters. Evelyn took another body over her shoulder and staggered a bit. The dead weight had made them heavier. "If anyone would like to help...you'd..." She groaned tossing him down into the idigo blue. " be very welcomed to it." She chuckled looking around at them.

*Arayel noticed him come to a bit and chuckle slightly she turned her head towards Emma* Aye I 'eard 'im laughing, thinks it's funny does 'e. I think the eunuch is rubbing off on 'im a bit. *She then saw him point towards the helm and hard him say deck.* Ah no ye don't ye'll be resting in the comfort of a chair at the least not the dlood stained and body strewn deck. She groaned slightly as Emma stopped to chastise Rick. Ye think we could get oin ith this. "e's not a light man no matter 'ow slim 'e is. *She was grateful once they started moving towards the cabin again. * 'E thinks 'e e' 'eard an earful now just wait till 'e wakes up. *she grumbles*

:Jack groaned and gave off a few laughs that sounded like it was painful to make the sound at all. but he grinned and sort of sobered himelf up enough to think straight for a moment. After which he planned to get drunk. He heard the name Saber and frowned:
"She's marooned somewhere...." he answered and looked at the deck from his wheel. justing looking, until someone decided to drag him to the cabin again. he muttered, cursing and swearing all the way. He didn't want to be back in a bed again until he had to be. He wanted to be on deck with the crew right now. He was fine: "No!" he protested. "I want to be here!"

*arayel nodded grimly. He was a grown man if he wanted to drive himself to exauhstion, jolly well let him.* Fine I can' be tellin' ye what to do. *She said with a slight huff, helping the man to stnand upright instead.* Now what's this here about Saber being stranded? We need to find 'er don' we?

:Jack staggered a moment, his legs wobbly under the gentle rocking of the ship. He balenced himself well enough for a moment before grabbing hold of the wheel of the ship.:
:Standing there he looked at the burning Cutlass and felt weak. His head seemed to spin a minute, and he closed his eyes. Yes....getting drunk right now seemed like a wonderful, splendid plan......yes indeed....:
:He looked at Arayal, trying to focus: "I'm not sure......right now...we need to get the kiddies home...... savvy?" Then with a light chuckle he added. "And get back to the fort......I want to make sure Norrington doesn't want me hanged still......" With that Jack swayed rather violently and fell over in a heap, completly out:

*arayel nodded he had a point about the kids. She grined when he mentioned Norrington. She looked him over in an assesing manner. He seemed weak and tired and generally like he could use a good drink. She was just about to pull out her flask when he collapsed in a heap. She moved to catch him so he didn't hit the deck violently. She staggered slightly under the weight of the man and sighed heavily.* You see this is exactly why I told you to lie down and rest. *she grumbles*

:Jack laughed again, partly from the annoyance he knew he was causing the crew and partly because he was sure he'd won. He was grinning vaguly now and just let himself be proped up.:
"yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me........" He paused unsure of where to go from there. "And really bad eggs.......drink up me heartie's yo ho......yo ho yo ho...a pirates life foe me........"
