This will take place one year after the movie ends with Jack leaving Port Royal after his near hanging. Directly after the movie.....
Sometimes people should just keep their mouths shut. But well....Jack doesn't know what silence means....as Norrington has tried numerous times to impress upon the pirate......it's not working....a failed attempt at teaching a drunken pirate the rules of civility.....
Barbosa heard many things from Jack before the mutiny. One being about a treasure. A ancient Greek treasure. A Box of Immortality. It's what keeps the Greek gods.....well......gods....While sailing out of Tortuga on the Black Pearl Jack and his crew come across a tiny boat. A greek craft...something that in itself is odd....and inside of it is a young lady. A beautiful lady. Jack, well...being Jack decides to take her aboard. The lady doesn't talk at first, but little by little they learn her name is Callisto, a greek girl from Athens.
She knows the location of this Box. Jack, being a pirate, not a damn hero wants the Box for himself. He doesn't realize that taking it can offset th balance of things in a unfavorable manner.......nor does Barbossa...who's after it as well. Two gods decide to "help". Apollo and Hermes......the rest, well they do not think they need the help of "mere mortals" to overcome something so ridiclous as this.
But Jack wants to live forever....so does Barbossa and the obession is to great to be reasoned with. Driving his crew into danger, Jack's ready to risk life and limb for the posibility of becoming a god himself. That and shot at being renamed the God of Rum.
Rules:
1. no spamming 2. ALWAYS STAY IN CHARACTER 3. NO cursing!!!! 4. Common curtesy is a must 5. NO GODMODING (unless otherwise stated) 6. have fun maties note: maties..this be a loose story plot...some things can change..but it's not likely....enjoy.....

::Callisto merely scowled at Barbossa as he left. The cannos began to fire. She smiled to herself. it was about time Jack got here. She knew the two gods were on board. so why didn't they come for her? Were they too, scared of changing the choices of the Fates?::
:She sighed and tried not to cry in this dark room. She liked the open air more then anything. It was a comfort. he'd not felt the wind's gentle touch in a day, and to be shut in here. was driving her mad:::
::She felt the impact of dozens of tiny objects hitting the side of the Pearl. What was that? No cannonballs? Callisto blinked, confused, but tried to listen, and figure out just what was happening in this battle:

(Maties. In light of the fact that I am in fact sick. and will probably need a good three to four days to feel good enough to post full posts, i'm gonna injure myself. Savvy? Just for the sake of being out of comission so to speak. I'll make smaller posts..but in case I can't.....you can still move the plot along.....alright? Will, Evy, Tobbs, take command of the Hell's Revenge. and do what you will. Callisto needs to spill the beans to Barbossa...the gods have to reveal themselves....last ditch effort to save Jack maybe? It's up to you....and we're on our way.......savvy?)
:Jack waited, part of Barbossa's crew was on deck now......almost waiting to see what Barbosa would order then to do. frankly he was midly surprised nobody had attacked him yet. He waited, focused. Listening for anything he could over the sound of the cannons. The click that told him a pistol was being readied. The hiss of a sword being drawn.....:
:Anything. And then. A click and exploding pop. Jack hissed, reacted a fraction of a second too late. Someone had fired a gun, from behind. He lurched, turned, and kept his sword drawn. But he dropped his own pistol.:
:Shock made him blink. Okay.....so this was gun shot number three to Jack's body. But it still hurt like all hell to him. He looked around, feeling his back growing wet from the blood. Somone laughed harshly. He frowned.: "That....wasn't very ...nice." Jack protested. Or fair. It was a shot to the back after all. :
:A boot shot out, kicking his leg. Jack crumbled. he gasped once, let loose some choice curse words. And he felt himself heaved upwards. He growled and thrashed at the person. he got in a few very good kicks and punches:
:Then he was twisting through the air. and hit warm water. Jack fought to the surface, trying not to scream from the salt water in the wound. He did manage a growl and hiss, a curse word......and then he clawed to stay over water. Air..he needed air...he needed to live......:#nosmileys

Evelyn kicked forward as a man came her way, she took a step back as a sword came at her, and with the flick of her wrist the man crumpled, his throat leaking vital blood from his syste. Another man came her way quickly, and she side stepped, going behind the main mast. The man's blade sunk deep into the wood and Evelyn only had to pull the man by the collar hard and fast to knock him into the hard wood.
The bandana was managing to keep most of her curls out of the way and she was alert to everything. Evelyn turned to parry a heavy blow but gave under the power of it. The blade ended up slicing part of her right forearm, but she simply grit her teeth in pain, and as the blade slid away from her she pused her sword up, sticking the man through his body. With a violent kick he was off, but the blood had seeped to her shirt. She turned, smiling a bit as she noticed Tobbs swinging over. Soon followed by Sarah. With Sarah's presence Evelyn lifted her brows, she really didn't appear the type to swing into something like this.
Eve smirked as Tobbs spoke. Evelyn parried a blow and took a deep breath, wiping the sweat from her brow with her sleeve, "I wasn' all by myself mate, look at all the..." Eve grunted as she became pinned agains the mast and then kicked the man's knee cap hard, causing him to scream and buckle. "...the friends I've got 'ere!" Evelyn said with an arrogant smirk as her blade sliced across the man's neck, swiping the head cleanly off.
Sarah boarded the ship and chimed in. Evelyn sighed, "Well I would take 'em all myself...but ye have to come here and spoil the fun!" Evelyn teased and gave a short laugh before engaging in the fight once more.
There was a second blast that rocked the boat and Eve lost her footing a bit. Splinters fell from overhead and Eve covered her head briefly. She opened her eyes to see Jack had swung on board and was demanding Bossa's presence. Evelyn kept on, struggling to fend off the much larger, and burly men that mostly made up Barbossa's crew.
Then a bang went off. Evelyn's heart stopped momentarily and she glanced around the two ships, wondering how had been struck. Eric was nowhere in sight, but just then she noted...the dark haired woman once more. She was standing upon the other ship and had her arm outstretched, and a pistol pointed at Jack.
"Selina?" Evelyn said with a bit of shock at first, then her whole being turned into rage. "SELINA!" she screamed at the top of her lungs as she dashed to save Jack before he was pushed overboard, but she was too late. An arm grasped Evelyn around the waist and shoved her to the decks. A foot fell upon her wrist and forced her to let go of her blade. It dropped with a clang.
The man stared her over, his abnormally large eyes beaming, his broken, and cracked grin smiling down at her, his gangly hair falling from under his hat. He licked his lips once, and then with the free hand Evelyn reached into her boot, pulled out her dagger, and shoved it into the man's ankle.
The man cried out in agony and crumpled to the ground. Evelyn looked about quickly and gathered up her sword. Her heart pounded fervently in her chest and all she could think of was saving Jack. "THE CAP'N'S OVERBOARD!" Evelyn cried out hoping that if she didn't get to him, someone would.
But then she headed to the side of the Pearl and prepared to jump in after him when the sound of a hammer pulling back sounded and she froze.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Selina had been quite busy upon the other ship, cutting many of Jack's crew and causing some brief havoc, but when Selina caught sight of the infamous Jack Sparrow she couldn't resist. There was a man, whose death would be spoken of for ages to come...and the murderer would be mentioned in the tale as well. Selina relished in this thought and fought her way towards the side of the ship before taking out her pistol. Jack was conviniently distracted at the moment and Selina was VERY conviniently located...
She pulled back the hammer and a shot went off that seemed to momentarily stun those around her. Jack was seen crumpling to the floor, attempting to fight back, and then tossed overboard. Selina smiled slyly at this. However, something else caught her eye. The screams of the brown curly haired woman. It WAS indeed Evelyn Pearl.
Selina gripped her pistol, quickly glanced it over and reloaded. The death of both a Pirate Capt. and his crewmate upon her hands...what more could she want? This drove her towards getting back to the Pearl, with a bit of struggle, she managed to make her way to the side of the ship with barely a scratch to show for it. Taking up a rope she swung over, crashed onto the decks, and followed Evelyn as she headed to the side of the ship.
She was preparing to dive in after Jack! Selina could have none of this, he would die and sink to the bottom of the ocean...that's how she wanted the man to end. Taking out her pistol she pulled back the hammer and spoke. "Leap in after him, and you'll sink to the bottom with him...I promise you that..." Selina said with a smirk and lifting a dark, ebony, brow.
She flipped her dark hair over her shoulder, her face shiny with moist sweat upon her. Selina stepped forward, her boot giving a dull thud, and the bangles upon her body chinking together. She had Evelyn Pearl, here...in front of her. If she pulled the trigger she could be done with her right here, right now. She contemplated this, but hesitated. Evelyn probably hadn't seen her face even and she was not about to have to woman die and have her not know who had taken her from this world.
"Turn around...slowly!" Selina said, her eyes fixed upon Evelyn. "Remember me?" Selina asked slyly as she lifted a brow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Evelyn backed away from the side of the ship slowly. Her hands were raised and she dropped her blade to the ground. There was a dull clang as it fell. Evelyn turned and widened her eyes. "Selina Carcassas..." Eve began as she put her hands down slowly.
" Good to see you remember my humble presence." Selina said slyly.
Evelyn smirked. "How could I forget the daughter of the man I hated most in all the world?" Evelyn asked her lifting a brow.
"Well now that you know it was me...good-bye." Selina said as she made to pull the trigger.
"Ye bloody coward! Could never face me one on one could ye?" Evelyn muttered. This was enough to stall her and buy Eve some time, perhaps Selina would even fall into her trap.
"Coward?" Selina asked as she eased her gloved grip upon the the pistol.
"Exactly, pulling a trigger, letting the bullet do it fer ye...pretty simple isn' it? Bloody 'ell, ye finished Jack off that way...all ye had ta do was pull a trigger on the man with his back turned." Evelyn told her in a low growl of a voice. Eve's voice was no longer her own. Now it was returned to a primitive, rash, tone. One reserved for her worst enemies.
" I could kill you either way." Selina told her a bit nervously.
"Is that so? Well...we'll never know if you were ever worth a fraction of my skill then, will we? Ye'll always have tha' doubt in yer head Selina. Ye know I was always the best brawler upon the Devil's Wrath, ye'll never know if ye could have taken a warrior down truly." Evelyn told her lifitng a brow.
To this Selina grew furious and warm all over her skin. "I am NOT a coward! And I could take you down any way." Selina said as she tossed the pistol aside.
Evelyn smirked...she could finish her off this way, she knew she could...but then again she hadn't seen Selina in quite a long time and she had grown. Evelyn eyed the pistol carefully and knew if there was no other way, she would need to get to it before Selina...
Her thoughts turned to Jack and if she could she'd jump in after him right now, but she knew Selina would merely take up the pistol and shoot. She prayed someone had heard her and would take action soon before Jack sank into the indigo sea...

Sarah was new to being a pirate, but she was smart. She new she was still a trainee and watched Evelyn Sarah saw her go to the side of the ship but stop and talk to Selina. Sarah ran to the side of the boat to see Jack slip over the boat. She quickly found a rope and tied it to her. She jumped over the side, hoping Selina wouldn't see her. Though she wasn't that good of a pirate she was an excellent swimmer, having grown up by the ocean. She grabbed Jack and started pulling of the rope, but couldn't pull herself and Jack up. She finally managed to reach the surface and yelled. Will! Eric! Somebody help!

Post by Captain Morgan Barbossa on Jun 29, 2004 17:11:59 GMT -5
:: Pistol and cannon blasts alike ripped through the air, signaling the start of the fierce sea battle. No, this was more than just a battle....it was a showdown between two of the most notorious pirates in the Caribbean. Only one would make it out in one piece....::
::Barbossa cocked his pistol and fired again, grinning as an enemy pirate toppled into the sea, his hand clutching his chest where the bullet had entered. The captain steadied himself against the mast as the Pearl was hit by enemy fire - too weak to be a cannonball, but the dozens of agonized cries that rang up from below deck were enough to prove that Sparrow's crew was still a force to be reckoned with. Barbossa scowled and started toward the other ship, ready to board at the opportune moment::
::Then a young woman swung over onto the deck of the Pearl, and Barbossa stopped. He recognized her... wasn't her name Evelyn? No matter.... He charged forward to take her down, but then noticed two more women jump onto the deck. One he remembered was a Victora something-or-other... better known as Tobbs. The other girl didn't have the look of a pirate, and he didn't know her name, but he decided he'd better not underestimate her. He took a step back, weighing his chances against the three opponents::
::That's when he heard the shot::
::Whirling around, he first noticed Selina standing nearby, pistol drawn and laughing. He followed the barrel of her gun past the shocked and pale faces, until he saw Jack::
::Jack Sparrow... his hated rival, the man he'd vowed on his very life to destroy, stumbled backwards, clutching his blood-stained shirt. He looked confused for a moment, then paled. He'd been shot::
::Barbossa felt rooted to the spot, paralyzed with rage and disbelief. How could this be happening?! HE was supposed to kill Jack!! He watched, helpless, as Jack was lifted from the deck and hurled overboard. Then time seemed to start moving again::
::Barbossa lurched forward as the cannons went off yet again. He tried to focus on the battle at hand, not let his emotions take over. Regardless of his own personal vendettas, he was still the captain of this ship, and it was his duty to command it. He could deal with Selina and the other traitor later....::
~~~
:: Damien sighed. He could hear the battle raging above him on deck, but there was nothing he could do. While being a vampire certainly had its advantages, he wanted something more.... After all, that was why he'd come along on this voyage in the first place::
::He'd heard tales as a child back in Italy of the Box of Immortality. It was one of the many treasures of the gods, one that was kept out of reach of the human race. For, if opened, the person would become much like a god himself. He would live forever, and possess infinite strength and power. The gods guarded it well however, and no one had ever been able to reach it. Yet::
::Being what he was, Damien somehow felt that he would be the one to open the Box. He was stronger, faster, and had better senses than a human, and one he had the Box, he would have all the powers of a vampire AND a human, with none of their weaknesses. He would be unstopable::
::But first, he'd have to find it::
~~~
::Barbossa tossed his empty pistol aside and drew his sword. He sliced through two more of Jack's pirates before retreating a few steps. He'd have to think of some way to end this fight quickly so he could deal with Sparrow. If he was even still alive::
::Cursing, he began to fight his way over to the spot where Jack had been thrown overboard. He at least had to get Jack's body before it sunk to the bottom of the sea. But then he noticed a rope hanging over the edge and, peering over, saw the girl from before hanging off of it, clinging to Jack's wet, bloody form as she dragged him out of the water. This wouldn't do::

Evelyn sneered as she looked Selina over. "Well have to see if ye can live up ta yer talk then, won' we?" Evelyn asked as she lifted a brow. With that Evelyn made a run at Selina abruptly. She hit Selina in the stomach heavily and they fell to the ground. It was an all out brawl. Evelyn knew she had to keep Selina on the ground if she wanted to beat her, Selina had a clear height advantage and thus on the ground would work best. Evelyn grabbed Selina by her long tresses and banged her head against the deck.
Selina's head pounded and rage built inside her. She clawed out and scratched Evelyn's neck fiercely, leaving scratch marks clearly across her neck in four clear strokes. Evelyn continued to pound her head into the deck and Selina squirmed. She gave a slap that rocked Evelyn briefly and she shoved Eve off of her. "You bloody wench! You were the cause for my mother's worries...for driving her mad with jealousy!" Selina screamed as she wrapped an arm around Evelyn's neck, choking her.
Evelyn gasped and coughed for air. She hit Selina's arm repeatedly, her eyes widening as she lost air rapidly. Selina spoke and Eve protested but could only gasp. She was beginning to lose focus, she needed air. Suddenly, Evelyn backed up hard and in a jolt of force she smashed Selina against the main mast, making Selina scream in pain.
Selina called out in pain as she hit the mast and lunged at Evelyn once again, Eve made to stand and she pulled at her ankle with her hand, making Evelyn fall, but Evelyn had put out her hands, broke her fall, and then a foot came slamming into her face.
Evelyn turned and punched Selina square on the nose, knocking the woman out. Her fist pulsed and she bit it, pain jolting through it. Eve looked to her blood hand for a moment, then noticed as Selina was scrambling for the pistol. Evelyn grabbed her ankle and pulled her back.
Selina looked back spit in her face fiercely, making Evelyn back away briefly. "I should have killed you when I had the chance!" she called at her angrily.
Evelyn pulled Selina violently towards her, took her head and slammed it against the side of the main mast. Selina's eyes went wide and she keeled over...she was clearly knocked out.
Eve stood and spit on her. She had the greatest urge to kill the woman, right here, right now, but she looked her over and pitied her. Selina's nose was bloody, her shoulder was bruised and she looked a mess. Instead Evelyn turned and suddenly became distracted by the ongoing battle that she had almost forgotten about in the first place.
She dodged a blow, and managed to regain her sword and parried a blow...returning to the battle and forgetting about Selina for now...

*Eric quickly looked away from Sarah as the sounds of pistols and cannon fire suddenly filled the air. He ducked quickly as a cannon ball came too close for comfort. His heart raced as he rose and his eyes darted about. He rose as Evelyn did and swallowed hard, pulling out his pistol. He aimed it at a pirate aiming at him and pulled the trigger. Nothing happened.* Ah, bloody 'ell. A lot of use you were. *He said angrily, ducking and throwing the pistol overboard. He quickly pulled his sword from his belt and jumped up as Evelyn swung over to the Pearl.* Evelyn! Perfect, just perfect. She can't stay put, she can't! *He exclaimed, turning his attention back to Sarah as she grabbed the rope and spoke to him. He laughed at her comment and watched her swing over. One by one the women of Jacks crew were throwing themselves into battle.* Well if they can do it, I can. *He stated with a bit of confidence. As a few of the opposing pirates swung onto the Hells Revenge he whipped his sword around, catching the first in the side and sending him overboard. As the second dared to come towards him he blocked the first few swings then swung his own sword, though it too was blocked. So Eric used what he was best at, his bare essentials. He lashed out, kicking the man firmly in the stomach then punching him in the face with his free hand. The man fell, out cold and Eric smirked.* Bloody idiot. *He said, chasing after a third pirate who headed towards the captains cabin. Then he spotted Evelyn on the other ship and he stopped dead in his tracks as he saw her facing a dark haired woman. Selina had a gun to her and Erics jaw dropped. He didn't know what to do. If he turned his back he might end up in the same situation as he had years ago. If he made his presence known, Selina might shoot her anyways. He stood, rooted in his spot not knowing what to do. Then he relaxed a bit as he saw Evelyn fight the woman. She was damn good, which rather impressed him. She could deffinantly hold her own. As she rose, for the most part seeming unhurt Eric called out to her.* Evy! You okay? *He cried, then spotted the third pirate rushing back out of the Captains cabin and Eric raised a brow, grabbed up an empty pistol, and chucked it at the mans head. It hit him squre on the back of the head and knocked him out cold, causing Eric to smile proudly.*[/color]
*Will jump, startled as the Pearls cannons fired upon the Hells Revenge. He watched as one by one, Tobbs, Evelyn, and Sarah made their way over to the Pearl. His eyes turned on Jack and a bright smile came over his face as he noticed that the Captain had seen Wills "weaponry of choice."* You could say that. *Will said, gripping his pistol. Then suddenly Jack grabbed his sleeve and jerked him towards the railing. He watched as the man swung himself over to the Pearl. Will paused for a moment, then quickly grabbed a rope and joined Jack on the deck. He pulled the hammer of his pistol and aimed it in front of him.* Aye, avast! *Will cried, for no apparent reason. He knew it was a dumb thing to say, but that had never stopped him before. He looked around proudly as no one dared to come near them. Suddenly he heard a pop and before Will could react to what had just happened, Jack was in the water with a gunshot wound. He suddenly heard Sarah cry out and he spun around, noticing Barbossa standing where Jack had went over and Will felt his heart skip a beat. He couldn't let the twisted Captain hurt Jack or Sarah.* Barbossa, don't you touch them. *Will said, aiming his pistol at the man as he stormed over to him. A burning hatred for this man rushed through his veins and he wanted nothing more than to shoot him.*

:for the moment Jack was more then a bit annoyed with his lack of attention to his back......he should have figured someone would shoot him from behind.it was after all, Barbossa's crew..:
:Jack groaned as someone caught hold of him. For a single wild moment he thought hewas dying...well..he was....but he figured he was dead and the demons were claiming him...but no.....it was a human......:
:He honestly didn't care who it was.....only that he was able to breath. for the time being anyway....: "Bloody........coward......." Jack managed to get out. and he flailed a arm out for the rope. He grabbed ti weakly in one fist, then turned to see who was holding him. Sarah......well that was unexpected. :
"Rum...is...on ...me....when we're in...Tortuga next...." Jack grinned a little then promptly began coughing. Hi blood was turning the water a murky crimson and Jack was growing pale.:
:He could still hear guns and cannons......: "Are we winning?" He asked vaguly, his eyes fluttering shut. "have to get the Pearl back.........."

::Barbossa heard someone cock a pistol behind him, and narrowed his eyes. He recognized that voice.... Without turning around, he grinned and addressed the speaker::
"Ahh, if it ain't me ol' pal, Will Turner.... Still alive, are ye? How long 'as it been now, a year? I 'ave missed ye mate. I'll ne'er ferget what ye did ta me."
::Suddenly, he whirled around and in an instant had the tip of his bloody sword pointed directly at Will's throat. His eyes danced with a mixture of rage and insanity at the thought of killing this boy. This boy, who'd caused him so much suffering....::
"Now now, me little eunuch, ye should know better than ta pick fights with those much stronger than yerself. And, as ye can see, there be no Jack ta save ye this time...."

*Will glarred as Barbossa addressed him but he said nothing. He wasn't in the mood to exchange words with this man. He remembered quite clearly how Barbossa had treated Elizabeth and Will was annoyed by the fact that somehow this creep was still alive.* And don't you think I'll forget what you did to Elizabeth. *He said between clenched teeth. Suddenly Barbossa spun around and there was a sword to Wills throat. Will swallowed hard as he glanced down at the blood upon the silver blade and his eyes narrowed all the more as they went back to Barbossas. With every word the man spoke, the anger boiling in Wills veins grew. He wasn't going to back down whether he felt he could win this fight or not. He had to do it, he couldn't let Barbossa get away from him again. Not after what happened to his father.* I don't need someone to help me in my fights you bastard. And besides, its never been that hard for me to take down a coward like yourself. *He said, tossing his pistol aside and pulling out his own sword. Will was an obvious master with the blade, his skill nigh unmatched. His eyes went to the sword at his throat once more then he quickly jumped back and met Barbossas blade with his own.*

"Aye. Jack may not be here, but he's not without friends." Roux said, From somewhere, nobody was sure where, he landed next to Will. A vision of fire and gold. He was in his mortal form. but with a few changes. His eyes blazed like gold coins with caught light. His hair seemed to fan out, and blaze with sunlight. Wind whirled around him and only him. A vision of god barely containing himself from rage.
He held a sword in his hand, it's tip naught but a hair's breath from Barbossa's neck. "You hurt one of our crew, you're challenging us all, Barbossa. Be careful with whom you chose to fight."
His was steady and he turned firey golden eyes on Will but a moment, then back to Barbossa. "harm this man and I will have your head."#nosmileys#nosmileys

*Will suddenly looked away from Barbossa as a voice rose up from no where and Roux landed beside him. He blinked a few times as there was an obvious difference about the man. There was an almost unwordly presence about him, but Will was in no state of mind to question it. As their eyes met Will grinned in an almost confused manner. None the less he was glad for the help. He turned his attention back to Barbossa and he grinned.* I think you had better listen to him. *Will stated, then dropped to his knees and grabbed the rope dangling over the side of the ship. He peeked his head over and saw Sarah and Jack, who was now awake though seemingly dazed.* Hold on, I'll help you up! *He cried, turning back to Roux.* Mind watching my back for a moment? *He asked, giving a daring look in Barbossas direction. Then he clung hold of the rope and used all the strength he had to start pulling the other two back onto the deck, though he worried about how quickly he could get Jack back to the Hells Revenge before someone came after them.*

Roux only nodded and watched Will pull Jack and Sarah back on deck. The young man had courage and a loyalty Apollo had to admire.
He kept his sword still on Barbossa, a warning look in his glowing eyes. Then they flashed blinding white. Enough to stun any mortal looking at them. Roux turned, having not lost one bit of his unearthly pressence and dipped over the side of the Pearl.
he hovered near Will, and smiled faintly. "No wonder you and Jack get along so well, you're near as crazy as he is." and then, there was Apollo, to Will's eyes alone.
A man of unearthly power, clothes in white and gold, golden eyes, glowing with sunshine and sheer absolute power. Heat radiated off of him light the warm summer sun itself. but he was silent as he seemed to grow, just slightly, in size. A small giant, and enveloped the three mortals in his arms.
With ease and care, he put them back on the deck of the Hell's Revenge, and he was Roux once more, gold eyes the only evidence of what had occured. "you are safe. Take care of your friend." He said to Will, and vanished, in a blaze of sunlight, back to the Pearl it seemed, to help. #nosmileys

Evelyn parried a blow, fatigue beginning to set in as she had been fighting for quite a while now. Her eyes turned around as she saw Bossa, Will, and Roux all together. Her eyes instinctively searched for Eric but she did not spot him at the moment. Instead she returned to the battle. Out of the corner of her eye, Evy spotted a man headed for Tobbs. Evelyn stared around and picked up a...fork. It had obviously been shot from one of their cannons and Eve chuckled. Probably one of Will's many brilliant ideas.
She flung the fork and it hit the man in the side of the skull drawing his attention away from Tobbs and at her. The man made his way towards her angrily, he tossed something at her, and she fell to the ground, dodging the item. Then in an instant she rolled to the side as a blade came her way. She parried the blow that came as she stood and in a few swift moves he was done with, crumpling ot the floor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Selina had been knocked out cold and she had been upon the floor, out of the way of battle for some time. Her eyes fluttered open slowly and she looked about. She had barely the strength to stand, instead her hand grasped her pistol and she managed to sit upright against the mast. Her face aching, Evelyn had given her quite a beating, she was quite the brawler, but she knew if she ever had the woman in a sword fight, she would be dead.
Looking around she loaded her pistol, wanting just one shot at her, not caring if she died in the process now. NO ONE hit Selina Carcassas like that and got away with it.
Then...there was a break in the crowd. Selina squinted and saw Evelyn there, fighting her way out of the crowd gathering about her. She gave a sly smile. Selina lifted her arm and pulled back the hammer..."Good-Bye Evelyn Pearl." She muttered and pulled the trigger.
A shot rang out and Evelyn screamed in pain. She clenched her teeth to quell the pain but buckled. A jolt of fire ran through her right shin and Evelyn stared down for a moment before she fell to the side. "What the bloody 'ell?" Eve looked down and her leg bled. She had been shot midway between her kneecap and her foot. The pain was not what worried her, instead it was the simple fact that at the moment she couldn't stand properly and that would get her killed soon.
Selina screamed with frustration as she saw the woman go down, her aim had been altered by a man colliding with her hand. She looked up and soon was engulfed in blackness once more. Selina had been knocked out cold by a man, who's face she had not seen entirely.
Evelyn struggled as she attempted to stand, but resulted in leaning onto a crate for support. She needed to get back to the Pearl. She looked ahead, not wanting to call for help, she was Evelyn Pearl, she could do this herself. As she took a step forward though, she wobbled and almost collapsed once more...she needed help...even though she hated admitting it...it was like admitting defeat and she'd be damned if she'd call out for assistance in the middle of battle.
