We all stood on the black pearl, waiting for the arrival from Cutler Beckett and Jones. The other pirate lords were on their ships next to ours. "The enemy is here! Let's take them!" Marty yelled, and the whole crew started cheering. That was until more ships arrived behind them. There were probably about a hundred. Everyone then turned their heads to look at Jack.

"Parley?" He asked with a grin, and so Jack, Elizabeth, Barbossa, and I made our way to the small island between us all. Becket, William, and Jones, who stood in a water Buck stood there, looking at us as we approached them. We stopped a few meters in front of them. "You be the cur that led these wolves to our door." Barbossa said to William. "Don't blame Turner. He was merely the tool of your betrayal. If you wish to see its grand architect, look to your left." Becket said, and Barbossa looked at Elizabeth, who looked at me, and I looked at Jack. He also looked to the left, but there stood no one, and he looked back at us. "My hands are clean in this." Jack said as he held up his hands. "My actions were my own and to my own purpose. Jack had nothing to do with it." William said.

"Well spoken. Listen to the tool." Jack said with a grin. "Wil, I've been aboard the Dutchman. I understand the burden you bear, but I fear that cause is lost." Elizabeth said, and I looked at her with raised brows. "No cause is lost if there is but one fool left to fight for it." William said. "If Turner wasn't acting on your behalf, then how did he come to give me this?" Beckett asked and held up his hand with the compass. "You made a deal with me, Jack, to deliver the pirates. And here they are." Beckett said and threw the compass to Jack.

"Don't be bashful. Step up. Claim your reward." Beckett said. "Your debt to me is still to be satisfied. One hundred years in servitude aboard the Dutchman as a start!" Jones yelled. "That debt was paid, mate. With some help." Jack argued. "You escaped." Jones fired back. "Technically..." Jack went to argue. "I propose an exchange." Elizabeth said, and we all looked at her. "Will leaves with us... and you can take Jack." Elizabeth said. My smile vanished, and I looked at her with a small gap in my mouth. "Done." Will said. "No. Not done." I argued "Undone!" Jack also argued.

"Jack's one of the nine pirate lords. You have no right." Barbossa went to argue. "king." Elizabeth fired back and looked at Jack. "Jack..." I mumbled. "As you command, you nibs." Jack said sarcastically, and suddenly Barbossa pulled out his swords and cut off Jack's pendant on his cloth around his head. "If ye have something to say, I might be saying something as well." Barbossa whispered. "First to the finish line, then?" Jack asked and put a hand on my head. "I'll be back." He whispered and slowly walked over to stand next to Becket while I watched with sad eyes. But before he could stand there, Beckett stepped over, pointing to stand next to Jones. "Do you fear death?" Jones then asked Jack. "You've no idea." Jack told him, and Becket stepped forward. "Advise your brethren. You can fight, and all of you will die. Or you can not fight, in which case only most of you will die.

"You murdered our father." Elizabeth spoke. "He chose his own fate." He said. "And now you've chosen yours." I said, and his gaze shifted to me. "We will fight. And you will die." Elizabth said, and we all walked back towards our ship. "King?" Will then asked. "Of the brethren court." Elizabth asked. "Courtesy of Jack," I told them. "Maybe he really does know what he's doing." Will said, and we went back aboard the Dutchman.

"We need to use the Black Pear as a flagship to lead the attack." Elizabeth said. "Will we now?" Barbossa asked. And we watched as Tia Dalma was led on deck and there were ropes around her. "Tia Dalma?" Asked confused, and she looked over at us. "Barbossa, you can't release her!" Will argued, and guns suddenly were pointed at us. "We need to give Jack a chance!" I said. "Apologies. For too long my fate has not been in my own hands!" Barbossa said. Ripped the necklace off Elizabeth's throat and put it with the other things they collected earlier.

"Is there some manner of rite or incantation?" Gibbs then asked. "Aye. The items brought together, done. Items to be burnt. And someone must speak the words: Calypso, I release you from your human bonds." Barbossa spoke. "Is that it?" Pintel asked confused. "It said it must be spoken as if to a lover." Barbossa said. "Calypso, I release you from your human bonds!" Barbossa yelled and burnt the items. Nothing happened. "Is that it?" Pintel asked. "No, no, no. He didn't say it right. He didn't... you have to say it right." Ragetti said and slowly looked at Tia Dalma. "Calypso... I release you from your human bonds." Ragetti said gently. The bolt caught fire, and the bowl was in the air. "Tia Dalma!" Will said as he went a step forward. "Calypso!" He then said again. "When the Brethren Court imprisoned you, who was it that told them how?" Will asked. "Who was it that betrayed you?" William asked. "Name him!" She yelled at Will.

"Davy Jones." He spoke, and her face fell as she started to tremble. She looked almost like she was crying or something, and suddenly she started groaning. The rope grew along with her body, and she soon was huge. Barbossa pushed forwards. "Calypso! I come before you as a servant, humble and contrite. I have fulfilled my vow and now ask your favour. Spare meself, me ship, me crew...but unleash your fury upon those who dare pretend themselves your masters...or mine." HE said and suddenly she started yelin at us in an unknowen language and she then fell apprat into thoussand of crabs.

There were so many grabs they fell from the boat again, and I quickly pushed some crabs off me and went to stand up again. "Is that it?" Will asked, "Why, she's not help at all." Pitenl said as he looked into the ocean. "What now?" Pintel asked Barbossa. "Nothing. Our final hope has failed us.
