Narcissa Barbossa: At World's End

The Battle

"Aye. The wind's on our side, boys. That's all we need!" called Gibbs. Wet drops began to fall on Narcissa and she looked up.

"Have you noticed, on top of everything, it's raining?" asked Pintel.

"That's a bad sign," said Gibbs but Narcissa shared a glance with her father and murmured

"Calypso." She then gestured to Gibbs who began yelling some orders.

"Man the capstan. Raise the main topyard. Keep that powder dry!" There was a thunderclap and the rain increased. And a whirlpool began to form in the distance Narcissa saw the pirate lords taking on the rest of the armada.

"Maelstrom!" called Gibbs.

"Father! We need you at the helm," she called. Her father nodded his eyes bright.

"Aye, that be true. Brace up yards, you cack-handed deck apes. Dying is the day worth living for." The Pearl began to sail for the Whirlpool while the Dutchman approached from the other side.

Narcissa shared a smile with Elizabeth and even Will. In that moment she knew that they would stand or fall together. Will ran to the edge.

"She's on our stern and gaining."

"More speed! Haul your wind and hold your water." bellowed Captain Barbossa.

"Take us out or they'll overbear us," called Will. Captain Barbossa shook his head.

"Nay. Further in. We'll cut across to faster waters." Deciding not to question her father Narcissa yelled.

"Prepare to broadside."

"Captain the guns. Bear a hand!"

"Muster your courage, men." said Will passing the lighter to the men at the cannon

"At the ready," called Narcissa. The Dutchman finally came into range and Narcissa called,

"FIRE!!" There were several hits but as the ships grew closer people began to swing across to the ship and Narcissa found herself in combat with a shark headed man. Their blades clashed the sound drowned out by the storm. She stabbed one and kicked another coming up down the stairs.

Suddenly she heard Elizabeth yell,

"Barbossa! Marry us!" Narcissa was shocked and wondered if her sister had gone round the twist at the same time as her father yelled.

"I'm a little busy at the moment!" Narcissa yelled.

"Are you insane?!"

"Barbossa now!" called Will. To Narcissa's utter amazement her father jumped up on the rail and began reciting the words to the wedding vows while still fighting Narcissa slashed at an EITC soldier to get him away from her father.

"Dearly beloved, We be gathered here today...To nail your gizzards to the mast, you poxy cur!" This last bit was said as he sliced the head off an eel headed crew member. In spite of the situation Narcissa laughed. She had to admit as dangerous as this was it was there was a certain thill to the situation. Will and Elizabeth began their vows and Narcissa listened though she was too preoccupied stabbing to watch.

"Elizabeth Swann, do you take me to be your husband?" said will.

"I do."

"Great"

"Will Turner, do you take me...to be your wife...in sickness and in health...with health being the less likely?"

"I do."

"As captain, I now pronounce you..." Narcissa and her father simultaneous stabbed a soldier.

"You may kiss..." another made for Narcissa and her father was cut off by shooting it cackling in delight.

"You may kiss..." once again he had to stop and killing someone else while Narcissa sliced one that was coming up on her left. Finally her father bellowed.

"Just kiss!" Turning Narcissa saw Elizabeth and Will kiss. A starfish faced crew member tried to interrupt them and Narcissa shot him straight in the head before laughing. Her father's zeal seemed to be rubbing off on her.

"We need to get the chest and save my father!" called Will and he swung over to the Dutchman..

Still caught in battle it was several minutes before Elizabeth swung over.

"I'm going to help those two!" Narcissa called to her father before grabbing a rope and successfully swinging over. As she did so she saw Jack the monkey rocket into the face of one of the Dutchman's crew members as well as EITC soldiers.

She was swiftly engaged in combat once again and did her best to follow all the teachings of her father. Narcissa now saw Elizabeth had landed in front of the chest and Jones. She attempted to make her way to Elizabeth who Jones was backing into a corner. However, she kept getting delayed by other crew members.

Suddenly she was face-to-face with Mercer.

"We cross swords again Miss Davis," sneered Mercer.

"That's Captain you, where's your master? I'd hope to duel with the organ grinder not the monkey." she quipped as their blades slashed.

"Lord Beckett does not feel the need to deal with such vermin himself," snapped Mercer as Narcissa backed him near the edge.

"So he's a coward. Pity I suppose killing you in person will have to suffice," she said and seeing an opening stabbed her sword into Mercer's chest. Due to the tilt of the ship his body slid off the edge and into the whirl pool.

Narcissa looked round and out of the corner of her eye she saw Will, who she was now very close, to stab Jones just as he backhanded Elizabeth. Jones turned around but smirked.

"Missed. Did you forget? I'm a heartless wretch." He wrenched the sword from Will knocking my now brother-in-law back. Jones saw Will look at Elizabeth and sneered

"Ah. Love. A dreadful bond. And yet, so easily severed." He raised his sword but Narcissa didn't see what happened next by the time she looked again Jones was staggering and Jack was holding a heard in his hand

"Heady tonic, holding life and death in the palm of one's hand."

"You're a cruel man, Jack Sparrow." answered Jones.

"Cruel is a matter of perspective."

"Is it?" asked Jones. Narcissa knew in an instant what Jones was about to do. As the undead Captain raised his sword Narcissa launched herself in front of Will. She cried out at the searing pain as the sword pierced her chest. Jones looked disappointed and as she fell Narcissa choked out.

"Nice try fish-face." The rest was a blur but Narcissa could make out Elizabeth beside her.

"Cissy! Look at me! Stay with me! You're all right," had she been able to speak she would have made some sort of quip about Elizabeth's use of alright but unable to speak she squeezed her sister's hand as she began to lose consciousness. The last think she recalled was someone shoving something into her hand.

PotC

Barbossa had been very concerned when Narcissa went over to the Dutchman but there was very little he could have done in the current situation. He was still slightly boggled by Swann and Turner's request.

The Dutchman was getting caught on the Pearl and he knew they would have to pull away soon but he didn't want to without his daughter. Suddenly he saw something floating towards them and Jack, Turner, and Miss Swann landed on the deck. His daughter was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Narcissa he demanded but Miss Swann merely burst into tears.

"She died to save me. Jones killed her," said Turner.

"We've got to get out!" called Gibbs but Barbossa could barely register what was happening around him. His little girl, his treasure. Dead. A hole seemed to have been torn through his heart. The pain was worse than when he'd died. A tear slid down his cheek. He didn't even care if he got caught in the whirlpool. His daughter was gone forever.
