It has been six months since Jack has been trapped in Davy Jones' Locker. Six months of secret plans, avoiding many soldiers, or else Cutler Beckett will have anyone hanged for the suspicion of piracy, if he is one. Every pirate either hides or has been betrayed by other pirates. Things have been tough for Y/N Maris and the others because they have been planning during those hard six months. The time has come to bring back her beloved Captain Jack Sparrow.

In the darkness, where it's damp at Singapore Harbor, a woman's voice begins to sing in the darkness. "The bell has been raised from its watery grave... can you hear its eerie tone?" Elizabeth sings. Elizabeth moves a long pole through a maze of pylons on a small boat underneath the bridge, hidden. Men working for Cutler Beckett, along with Ian Mercer, march above Elizabeth as she continues to row. Elizabeth finally makes it to the dock and ties the bow line.

"Raise the colors high! Heave ho-" Elizabeth was interrupted by three men who appeared before her. "Thieves and beggars. "Never shall we die," said one of the men. It was three guards and their leader, Tai Huang. "A dangerous song to be singing, for anyone who is ignorant of its meaning. "Especially a woman alone," Tai Huang said while taking each step towards Elizabeth. "What makes you think she's alone?" someone asked, walking down stone stairs behind them.

They turn around and face Barbossa, smiling. "You protect her?" Huang asks. "And what makes you think she needs protecting?" Y/n said as she walked down the stone stairs and was now beside Barbossa. At that moment, Elizabeth immediately put a knife at his throat, proving she didn't need protection. "Your master expects us, and an unexpected death would cast a slight pall on our meeting," Barbosa said to Elizabeth, and she let go of Huang. One of the guards makes a whistle sound and they all hide underneath the stone because enemy soldiers were walking above them.

Tai Huang led the group into a secret passage, leading them toward a door that led to a low-slung, decrepit bath house. While those three were heading there, the rest of the crew were walking underground, heading toward where they were going just in case if things were to go wrong. As the three were walking silently, Elizabeth walked beside Barbossa "Have you heard anything from Will?" she asked him. "I trust young Turner to require the charts and you to remember your place in the presence of Captain Sao Feng," he said to her.

He turned to Y/n "You should also remember your place, Maris," he added. "I'm aware , but as I recall, he dislikes Jack only," she said. "Is he that terrifying?" Elizabeth asks. "He's much like myself, but absent my merciful nature and sense of fair play," Barbossa said, giving a grin. Elizabeth squinted her eyes, unsure if he was being truthful. "To be fair, between the two, Barbossa is the one who gives respect to fair play while Sao Feng destroys," Y/n said, noticing that Elizabeth wasn't sure if Barbossa was telling the truth.

They finally made it to a small door, and Huang knocked on the door. A tiny window opened and Tai Huang spoke in his native language for the secret password. The tiny window closed and the door opened, leading them inside. Before completely entering, however, with two guards behind Barbossa, Elizabeth, and Maris, they were asked to remove their weapons. Barbossa gave in his sword and pistol.

As Y/n was about to remove her weapons, Elizabeth was about to take the first step, but Tai Huang gave a stop motion. "Do you think because they are women, we would not suspect them of treachery?" he said to Barbossa. He looked at both of us and turned to Huang. "Well, when you put it that way..." he smirked. Tai Huang looked at the woman. "Remove please," he said. Y/n went first and turned in her sword, dagger, and pistol. Elizabeth took a second and sighed in defeat.

She untangled her top and revealed many weapons underneath. As she started to remove them, Tai Huang gave Barbossa and Y/n a look, to which they simply gave him a smile and chuckled. Barbossa and Y/n were simply surprised and impressed with Elizabeth for carrying so many weapons because she started as a simple lady but is now a lady with weapons. As Elizabeth was almost finished turning in her many weapons, she stopped. "I need a moment," she said, and started to reach down from behind.
