Fight For The Right

14~ Reunited and a Hard Victory

*Maddie's P.O.V*

"That's interesting," Jack said, examining his hand. I raised my eyebrows at Will, and Jack's plan suddenly dawned on us.

'He cannot die now, so he could be locked in battle forever with Barbossa," I whispered.

"I know... unless I get to the chest and we both return the medallions. That way Jack can kill Barbossa and this will all be over!"

Jack was flicking a medallion back and forth across his fingers. "I couldn't resist mate," he grinned at Barbossa.

I nodded and wiped my brow. "Then let's take care of the rest of the crew, first!"

Will grinned and the two of us met the second pirate, who had recovered his head. We lashed back and forth, occasionally Will would lose his footing but I would give him enough time to get back up.

"How - is - it - that - you - are - not - losing - your - balance?" Will panted out with each strike of his sword.

"It helps when you've had training from a pirate!" I yelled back, colliding my forehead with the pirate's head, causing me to become momentarily dizzy. We ran through the cave, passing Jack and Barbossa. Barbossa collided with the rock wall and Jack upset a table as he went past, with Barbossa running after him. I leapt over the table as it came tumbling towards me. "Sorry!" Jack called as he darted past.

"Sure yo uare!" I yelled as I ducked a swing from the pirate.

*Third Person*

Barbossa and Jack were still parrying back and forth, probably in one of the longest and most intense battles they'd ever been in. Finally Jack knocked Barbossa backwards so he was a skeleton lying on a treasure pile. "So what now, Jack Sparrow?" he panted. "Are we to be two immortals locked in an epic battle until Judgment Day and trumpets sound? Hmm?"

"Or you could surrender," Jack stated.

His opponent leapt up again and sent Jack sprawling, running away from him. "Arr!" Barbossa laughed and ran after Jack, who was more like doing a mad scramble through the cave.

*Elizabeth's P.O.V*

We could see the two pirates creeping around the deck, looking out for anyone who could've made the noises they'd heard. We aimed carefully and released the rope, sending a longboat flying into them and knocking them overboard.

Sorry, Maddie, but I think I just killed your love..

The crew of the Interceptor cheered and I walked forward to the fallen boat. "All of you with me. Will is in that cave - so is Maddie, hopefully - and we must save him. Ready? And heave!" When the boat didn't move I looked over my shoulder. The crew were all standing there, rather guiltily and sheepishly. "Please, I need your help!" I begged. "Come on!"

"Any port in the storm," Cotton's parrot squawked.

"Cotton's right, we've got the Pearl." Gibbs said.

"And what about Jack, you're just going to leave him?" I frowned.

"Jack owes us a shi[." Marty retorted.

"And there's the code to consider," Gibbs finished.

"The code?" I stared at them. "You're pirates. HAng the code, and hang the rules! They're more like guidelines anyway."

*

"Bloody pirates!" I muttered angrily as I rowed my way into the cave, the Black Pearl beginning to disappear from view. I rolled my eyes and kept rowing. How could they just leave like that, the cowards!

*Maddie's P.O.V*

Pyro had regained consciousness some time ago, and was now fighting against me. Will was still fighting against the other pirate, but I could see he was growing tired. He lost his footing again, and this time I couldn't rush in and help him; Pyro was keeping me on my toes, chasing me through the cave and parrying with me non stop.

"I'm gonna teach you the meaning of pain," the pirate spat at Will.

With a last desperate measure I knocked Pyro into a pool of water and ran to help Will, but someone beat me to it.

"You like pain?" I heard a familiar voice, followed by a loud thwack and the sound of someone collapsing. "Try wearing a corset."

I climbed over a treasure hill and my eyes widened. Elizabeth had a long staff in her hand and was hauling Will to his feet. They stared into each other's eye for a moment, and I wondered what had happened between them on the interceptor. "Mind if I interrupt?" I smirked as I walked over to them.

"Maddie!" Elizabeth swamped me in a hug, nearly choking me as I hugged her back. I'd never been more happy to see her.

"Lizzie... choking, not breathing!"

"Right, sorry," she let go of me and we turned our attention to Jack and Barbossa still fighting, both of them now standing in a ray of moonlight.

"Whose side is Jack on?" Elizabeth asked.

"At the moment?" Will chuckled.

Pyro, Griffin and another pirate were now charging towards us, swords raised. Using Elizabeth's staff we strung the three of them together, causing them to shout out in pain and surprise. Stealing a grenade from Pyro, who was stuck in the middle, I lit it up and stuck it in his ribcage. Will and Elizabeth then pushed them out of the moonlight, and they were back to normal people. Pyro grabbed at his stomach as the three of us ran for cover. "No fair," he protested.

The next second there was a loud explosion, and I leapt at my sister, pulling her to the ground as we covered our heads from debris.

"Thanks!"

"Don't mention it," I smiled.

We ran forward, and Will climbed up the treasure pile to stand by the chest of Aztec gold. Jack slit his hand on his own sword blade and threw his medallion to Will, who caught it. Barbossa suddenly pulled out his pistol and aimed it at Elizabeth and I. Our eyes widened and we forse. I saw a hint of regret in Barbossa's eyes, and the shot echoed through the cave. Elizabeth gasped, as did I, but I didn't feel any pain. Barbossa frowned and turned to Jack, whose pistol was smoking slightly.

"Ten years you carried that pistol, and now you waste your shot," he smirked.

"He didn't waste it," Will said. All of us turned to him, holding his hand over the chest. I saw a dribble of blood through his shirt and he clenched his hand, allowing the two medallions to fall into the chest with a metallic clang.

Elizabeth sighed in relief and Will smiled at us, lowering his hand. Jack lowered his pistol, Barbossa dropped his sword and pulled apart his shirt, looking at the blood spreading from his wound. "I feel..." he gasped. "... cold." He fell backwards, the apple he'd brought along rolling from his hand.

*Third Person*

On board the Dauntless, Commodore Norrington ran his sword through Koehler, who fell dead to the deck with a small twitch of his cheek. Twigg then dropped his sword in surrender, realizing the curse had now been lifted and they could no longer die. The other pirates followed suit. The soldiers pointed their weapons at the surrendering pirates, keeping them under control.

"Parely?" Pintel tried, but no success.

"The ship is ours, gentlemen."

Following the Commodore's words, the sailors and soldiers erupted into cheering. "Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!"
