*Tobbs laughed at one of Barbossa's crew as she tripped him and used him as a ball to knock down three others. She flipped her hair behind her shoulder and blocked a blow to her right, ducking and lunging forward to attack.*
*Before she had time to stand, a pirate in front of her made a slash at her side but missed as she leaned away. She jumped up and whipped her swords into the man. All of a sudden she realized someone was charging behind her and she had no time to attack. As she turned to face the man, Evy stopped him dead in his tracks, and she watched him fall to her feet.*
*Reminding herself she'd have to thank Evy for that as well, she continued on her fight, watching the crew flock out. She had taken her eyes off of Jack, as she had told herself either she could watch his every move like a hawk and try and run up the statues to stop him from doing anything stupid, or she could, well, trust him. The first seemed easier, but she chose the second and stuck with it as she continued to fight.*
*All of a sudden she was knocked to her feet by a flash of light and some loud thunder. She muttered as someone fell on her and tried shoving him off, giving him a rather hard punch in the face and throwing him off of her.*
"Bloody 'ell, it can' be rain, we're in a cave! So what's 'e gone off and done this time?!"
*She heard the voice of Apollo and it made her shiver. She closed her eyes and stood slowly, turning to face the direction of the events quite reluctantly and dreading what she'd see. When her eyes caught ahold of Jack, horror filled her eyes and she dropped her swords in shock. She wanted to help some way, but she could not. She could only stand there...she didn't know what was going to happen. She trembled and stared at Jack as he fell, unable to make a single noise, nor take a single breath.*

Sarah turned away from Eric and Evelyn when she heard Jack scream, but didn't get to see what was happening before a blinding light shone in her eyes and a force knocked her back into the cave wall. She had hit her head on the wall and was knocked out cold, with a stream of blood running down her forehead.

(( remember guys. this is time we're gonna let all of you have a reaction. act how you will. but in truth I think only Hermes, or Apollo could stop Jack's fall now. Divine intervension. But you can do what you will. Once everyone's had a reaction we'll move. But I think we can take a bit of time for this one.....savvy?))

((savvy ^_^))
*Eric blocked the shot of the pirate then managed to kick out, knocking the man off his feet and he hit him in the head with his sword hilt, knocking the pirate unconcious. He grinned and then glanced over quickly at the sound of Sarahs voice. He frowned a bit, knowing that Evelyn was in bad shape but he honestly didn't know if she'd let him take her away from the fight. Of course she was small enough for him to drag her out by force but he always had a thing about not wanting to damage her pride. Finally he looked back at Sarah and sighed.* I'll do my best. *He stated, reaching out and patting her arm.* You be careful too! *He added swiftly, then crouched down quickly as the cave shook. He glanced over at Sarah but his attention was drawn back to Jack as the man fell. Time no longer seemed like a part of reality, everything seemed to be moving at its own pace and yet he himself felt frozen, only able to stare.*[/color]
*Will's eyes were still fixed on Jack as he finally made his way to the box of Immortality and Will cringed. This was it, it wouldn't be long now before the fate of the crews captain, his friend, was decided.* Dont do anything stupid, Jack. *He whispered to himself as fear built up in the pits of his stomach. Suddenly the Captain tossed the box to Roux and a huge weight lifted off Wills shoulder. He was so relieved he felt like he was going to drop to his knees. But his relief was short lived as Jack began to fall from the statue. When the box was open and the cave itself seemed to shake all about them Will stumbled a bit, falling backwards on his back as he bliniked at the bright light from box.* Jack! *He screamed, the word seeming to escape his lips on their own free will. He couldn't move, he could only lay where he was on his back and watch as the Captain fell. Even if Will had tried he knew he couldn't do anything. For a single moment he wished Jack would have taken immortality, then this fall wouldn't be his end, as Will figured it would be.*

Evelyn smirked a bit awkwardly as Eric pulled away. "Riiight then." Evelyn said as she blushed a bit, not noticing she had been holding onto him just as much. Just then she noticed Sarah approach them both and she furrowed her brows, but then she went into a confident smile. "Take me back to tha ship? An' miss out on all the fun?" Evelyn asked her lifting a brow. She turned as a blade came her way but she paused.
Suddenly the ground shook and Evelyn stumbled, trying to keep herself standing, and grabbed onto the cave walls for balance, looking up she noticed as Jack began to fall rapidly, her eyes went wide. "Jack!" she shouted as a bit of fear crossed her face and she inhaled sharply, hoping by some miraculous miracle he would be saved, or she would watch the end of Jack Sparrow, here and now...

Rose and Hawk had watched the events in total shock; would Jack choose immortality? Both twins seemed to sag with relief when he threw the Box to Roux, hold their breaths as Roux opened it...then, they saw their father falling, and twin sets of jaws dropped with horror.
"Dad!" Rose gasped, tensing, ready to try and save him. Hawk, however, was one step ahead of his sister; he grabbed her arm, took a stride forward, and yelled, "HERMES!"
Divine power was a miraculous, amazing, strong, powerful thing. It was endless for the Great Gods of Olympus, especially the most powerful ones. Great Zeus never got exhausted of his power, and it was very rare for the oldest ones. Generally the younger the god, the "less" endless power was. Hermes, as the second youngest god, usually needed time in between his great shots of power, to make sure he wasn't overdoing it. Overdoing it, to a god, could mean loss of immortality.
Fortunately, Hermes wasn't often called on to do great things. His usual tasks were his as herald of the gods...and of course, closing the eyes of the dead forever and leading them down to Hades. Neither task took much divine power. However, changing from mortal to god, binding himself to the Sparrow twins, and arguing with his father all took energy. Hermes, for all his bounciness, usually didn't use this much power in a few days. Impossible as it may sound, he was getting tired.
But when Hawk cried out, every one of Hermes's senses leapt to Jack. Every ounce of strength he had left surged up into his veins. His golden eyes went wide and, summoning all of his remaining divine power, Hermes extended his hand. Golden light shot out of it and at Jack; it covered him with a glow that stopped his fall. Slowly, still bathed in the glow, Jack's form righted itself and floated to the ground, landing on its feet.
<Included that bit about Hermes getting tired just so that I wasn't "godmoding", though he is a god *g* Lemme know if it sounds too implausible...>

* Maria watched curiously as Jack struggled with himself and the box. Suddenly the ground began to quake. It knocked her off her feet hitting her head against the cave wall. She fell to the ground and held her head in her arms. When lifting her head to see what had happened her eyes caught sight of Jack plummeting to ground. * " No!" * She shouted as the voices of her crew echoed through the cave. ' This can't be happening' she told herself.*
* Suddenly before her eyes a luminous golden light came from Hermes stoppping Jack's fall in midair. She watched as his body safely made it to ground. She was relieved that she wouldn't see the fated end of her beloved captain. With help from the cave wall she lifted herself up of the ground. She held her forehead trying to relieve the pain. There was no blood but soon it would form a bruise*

Sarah lay on the floor of the cave unconscious. A golden light shown, awakening her, a slight breeze blow the blood from her forehead. Her eyes fluttered, then they opened. She saw Jack placed on the floor lightly. Sarah sighed, glad that Jack was safe and alive.

Roux had opened th Box to become immortal in time to save Jack. but his brother was one step ahead of him. Roux was blinded shocked by the burst of power and he stumbled back.
"JACK!" He leapt, a god once more surging with power. but Hermes had righted the world. Apollo flew donw like a bolt from a bow and landed in all his divine glory next to Jack. He beamed up at his brother, then looked at Jack.
He held the Box carefully in his hands. He was immortal now. But. Not ageless. That would be something Zeus would have to grant. He looked at Hermes and noded a silent thank you. Then he looked at Jack.
"I hope you're not too disappointed, Captain." He said in a voice that semed to echo brightly through the room. Like sunlight striking a mountain face in the morning. "Thank you."

::Jack blinked, felt the scare of the fall leave. felt himself slow.....and then.....::
::h was on the ground. unharmed. Jack stared at Roux then looked back up at Hermes: "Rum's on me, lad." he called. Then he glanced at Apollo. he closed his eyes.::
"O' course I'm disappointed, Roux.....Apollo...whatever.....Who wouldn't want to live forever......? But then see....being a pirate wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable as it is now...now would it?" He grinned darkly. Then his attention turned to the Box...then Barbossa::
"What should we do about this here problem?" He asked in a offhand manner:

Hermes looked incredibly relieved, though a bit drained...slowly he floated down on the other side of Jack, grinning at his words. "My brother regained his immortality...I stopped a Carribbean legend from dying...all in all, it's been a fairly productive day." He turned to the twins and winked at them - both grinned at him and Jack in relief - then turned back to Jack and Apollo. "The only problem that remains is..." He followed Jack's eyes to Barbossa.
"Well...I'd say...he's your enemy." Hermes turned golden eyes back to Jack. "Unless you want us to deal with him for now...you strike me as the kind of man who likes to tackle his own problems...still, say the word and we'll help you out."

::At this point Jack normally would have shouted for vengence.....demanded blood.....whatever...but oddly enough...he didn't.::
::He put his sword away: "No. I just want my ship and my crew....my friends and my children. And I want the open sea again....if ye can help me there....then we'll call it even...:: He grinned at Hermes. "and I'll get ye a better hat......"
:He turned to look at Barbossa:: "I have two gods with me......I'm taking my ship and leaving.......I think it'd be very wise if you didn't follow me....."
::Jack grinned brightly and turned to his crew:: "I'm tried. Let' go to Tortuga and find a fight or two....."
::then he caught sight of Will: "After we drop young Mr. Turner off of course....."

* Maria smiled as she could see that Jack was himself again. They would now be returning to Tortuga, but not before dropping off Will first. She dusted herself off and tied her hair back into a bun. Rubbing her head once more she could feel a slight bump forming. ' Great..' she thought to herself. Maria placed her blade back into its sheath and bringing up her hand she caught sight of her scar, she retraced it and looked up at Rose, she was safe* " Everything's returned to normal, I hope..." * She said with a grin*

//Jack approved. please don't be pissed//
Apollo turned his golden eyes on Barbossa and his crew. Then looked at Jack. He nodded. He of any god understood fate. "it should be as it was before. We will return you to your proper existence. your rightful places in life"
he nodded at Jack. "you will have your ship. Barbossa and his men will return to the Hell's Revenge. And we will place them far away. But I will not, we wil not take their lives. Fate will not allow it. "
with that he turned to Jack, gave him a small nod. And floated back towards the slab, over their heads. He placed the Box down again. And then returned to the ground. "it is over."
