Kingdom Hearts II: Home Sweet Sanctuary

Chapter 29: Port Royal

AN I am so EXCITED to see Jack in kh3! I love the pirates of the Caribbean series and it was really exciting to see Clipso (sorry if I spelled it wrong) and the rest of the pirates! WHO'S READY FOR SOME KH3 ACTION!?!

~

We arrive in a dark and murky place. Where were we? This didn't look like any of the worlds we had been to before. I looked toward the ocean to see nothing but that. That's when screams echoed through the air. We all ran near a staircase and looked toward the town that wasn't too far away.

"What's happening over there?" I asked.

"Something's up." Sora said.

"Organization XIII?" Goofy asked.

"Or the Heartless!" Donald said.

"Whatever it is, we have to help those people." I said. We ran to the harbor and saw Pete with several pirates. The leader and Pete left and we were left to deal with rest of them.

"Aw, we only get to stomp on a few of you?" Sora asked. I shuddered a little. Something was off about these guys. There was some kind of evil aura around them. The moment we starting to fight them, I knew that something was wrong with these pirates. Just like with Hades, it felt like there was some kind of barrier around all of them. Then, the moon came out from behind the clouds and the pirates became skeleton-like. I cringed at this horrific sight. That's when I felt the evil aura lessen.

"I think we can beat them now!" I said. And we could. We defeated all of the pirates. Pete ran off to a ship.

"There's bound to be more of them!" Donald said.

"Weren't some of them heading toward town?" Sora asked. We hurried to the town and saw one of the pirates carrying a woman over his shoulder with another man chasing after him. The other man was stopped by the Heartless. We stepped in to protect him.

"Go help your friend!" He ran after the man and woman while we dealt with the Heartless. Afterwards the man came back. "Did you lose sight of them?" I asked.

"Yes, but thanking for helping me. My name is William Turner." the man said. I curtsied.

"Pleasure to meet you Mr. Turner. I'm Piri." I said.

"Please, I need your help to rescue Miss Swann." Will said.

"Of course!" Sora said. We hurried to the docks just in time to see a ship sailing away.

"We're too late! Those pirates have Miss Swann and now I'll never be able to find her!" Will said. Then we heard a voice. We turned to see a man.

"Then she's long gone. The Black Pearl is nigh uncatchable. Best find yourself another girl, mate." a voice said. We looked to see a pirate sitting on the mast of a ship. He hopped on to a ship.

"You... What are you doing aboard the Interceptor? She's off limits to civilians." Will said.

"Ah, fortunate that I'm going to commander her, then. She'll make a fine pirate ship." the man said. I could feel the excitement and glee radiating from Sora. "Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please."

"Take me with you. Help me hunt down the Black Pearl and save Miss Swann. got you out of that jail cell, Sparrow. Do this and your debt's repaid." Will said.

"You'll have to win fair lady's heart alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me." Jack said. Typical pirate. Wanting something in exchange for a favor.

"C'mon, Captain!" Sora begged.

"It would be best if you had help. I mean, can you manage this ship on your own?" I asked. Jack seemed to take that into thought.

"You have a point there, lass." Jack said. With that, we board the ship.

"Thank you, Mr. Sparrow." I said.

"CAPTAIN Sparrow." Jack said.

"I'm Will Turner." Will said.

"That would be short for William, I imagine. No doubt name for your father?" Jack asked.

"Yes." Will answered.

"Well then, Mr. Turner. You get us ready to make way." Jack walked over to us. "Don't believe you introduced yourselves." Jack said.

"I'm Sora. This is Donald and Goofy. That's Piri." Sora said.

"Well, I suggest you keep the girl in sight at all times as soon as we sent sail. Barbossa and his crew are more animals than men. They get their hands on her... well, I'm sure you get the idea." Jack said. I gripped Sora's hand. He knew my fear. In fact, being on a pirate ship just made me remember that time.

We had been sailing for a while. I had to sit down because my head was killing me. I don't know why, but ever since we set sail I've had this splitting headache and it seems to get worst with each passing minute. Sora seemed to notice.

"Piri, are you alright?" Sora asked. I shook my head.

"I feel like someone is repeatedly hitting me on the head with a hammer. It's not seasickness, that much I know." I said. I propped my elbow on the side and held my head up with my hand. Sora rubbed my back.

"Maybe you should go down into the cabin and rest." Sora said. I nodded and walked down into the lower room. There was a small bench so I decided to lay down. I lay back and let the rocking of the ship lull me to sleep.
