The girls ran through the jungle of Isla Cruces, trying to cut off Pintel and Ragetti to get the chest back. They looked ahead and saw them running, chanting, "We got it! We got it!" as they did. Both panting, (Y/n) and Lizzie cut them off, determined looks on their faces that seemed to have slightly frightened the men. They reached for their swords, but Elizabeth's had been taken by Will. (Y/n) had hers, but she couldn't take on two at once.

The pirates dropped the chest, malicious intent evident on their faces as they drew their own swords. "'Ello poppets." Pintel said as they did.

They backed up slightly, but a noise from beside the drew them from their daze. Looking to their port side, they saw a large water wheel rolling by... Will and James fighting atop it. Jack was running behind trying to catch up. This drew them from their current course, until the pirates regained their manner and began advancing on the girls, until an axe being lodge in a tree next to them caused them to turn back around.

The entirety of Davy Jones's crew was running at them, yelling and cackling as they ran in search of the chest. Elizabeth backed up into Pintel and Ragetti, who handed her their swords in fear and ran. Lizzie looked at (Y/n) in confusion before the two of them began to run as well, the chest grabbed by the men. Unfortunately, the chest ran into a tree, causing them to drop it. Knowing they couldn't let Jones have the chest, they stood up and fought.

Due to there being three swords and four of them, they began throwing the needed blades to each other. The crew was difficult to fight, no doubt, but (Y/n) saw one of the crewmen, who had a conch shell as a head, grab the chest and run off. She held onto her sword and ran after him.

He didn't get very far, for a coconut came flying out of nowhere and knocking his head off his body. (Y/n) gasped in shock and stopped running. Turning to where the fruit came from, she saw Jack sauntering over, the key in his hand.

"Bloody good shot..." she said in awe.

"Thank you, luv." Jack thanked, and walked over to the chest, (Y/n) by his side.

"Anido! Anido!" They heard the conch man shouting to his body, which was stumbling around blindly. "Follow my voice! Follow my voice! To the left... no, turn around! Go to the right! No... das a tree."

"Oh, shut it!" Jack and (Y/n) yelled at the same time, causing him to look at her, and her to look at him.

She coughed and said, "Well? Captain?", breaking their eye contact.

Jack put the key in the lock, turned it, and they heard a hissing sound, the locks around the lid releasing. He lifted the lid, and inside was a live, bleeding, beating heart.

The heart of Davy Jones.

Jack reached in and picked up the thing, much to (Y/n)'s protest, but when they heard the henchmen approaching, she muttered, "Hide it." and he stuffed it in his vest. He closed the chest and let it seal itself shut.

They ran back to the beach in a hurry, trying to avoid the coming parade of people that wanted the heart. Jack stopped at the dingy and muttered, "Jar of dirt!" before picking it up and dumping out a bit of the dirt. (Y/n) watched for anyone as Jack stuffed the heart in the jar, and refilled the lost dirt.

"Jack!" she yelled as the pufferfish man and another crew memeber attacked her, causing Jack to drop his jar and grab the oar to use as a weapon while (Y/n) fought with her sword. The rest of Jones's crew soon followed, along with Elizabeth, Pintel and Ragetti, who were now carrying the empty chest. Elizabeth was fighting off multiple of the mutant crew with two swords, until a familiar water wheel came charging by and rolled over a majority of them.
