"Abandon the ship!", Jack bellowed at Kira and Elizabeth.

"What? That would be suicide!", Elizabeth shouted back.

"No, he's right!", Kira said, "Abandon ship!"

"You're mad! Both of you!", Elizabeth yelled, "There are three gigantic sharks destroying the ship and you're gonna jump into the water to them?!"
They heard wood breaking undrneth their feet as the two hammerheads both crashed their bodies into the ship.

"Lizzy, you forget one thing!"
"What?"
"I'm Kira, the daughter of the sea and trust me when I say, you should trust me!"

"What the hell?!"
Jack and Kira rolled their eyes, then they spoke in unison, "We are way stronger underwater than up here!"

"What? Why?"
"Calypso and I are goddesses of the sea, darling," Kira winked, took Elizabeth's arm and pulled her down into the water, off of the boat.
Jack jumped in shortly afterwards.

For a moment everything was silent, as always when one gets underwater. Kira's skin turned blue...

But in the next second, a white shark shot up from the deep blue of the sea, closely passing Kira and Elizabeth.
It was Aaden, who had his moth wide open, showing off his rows of sharp teeth.
But he wasn't interested in Elizabeth, not even in Kira who was giving Jack and Elizabeth magical power to breath underwater.

Aaden was heading directly for Jack and Aaden could swallow him up in one bite, Kira knew that.

"Aaden, no! Bad boy!", she screamed.
Aaden gave her an odd look and for a second Kira thought she'd stopped him, but then he turned around and continued swimming towards Jack.

"NO!", Kira's rage filled the sea and a mighty storm came up. The rain poured down at the surface and she heard thunder growling above them.
Aaden wasn't impressed.

But then Calypso finally joined in. She'd been busy fighting off Zu and Zo, but now Zu was knocked out and only Zo and Aaden remained to try and kill Jack.
Calypso's mighty hand hit Aaden who got thrown away.

"Aaden, Zo! Stop it, you're out of your minds!", Kira scolded.

"It's the queen's order. You don't stand over the queen," Aaden responded, trying to attack Jack who was trying to defend himself with his saber.

"YES I DO! I STAND ABOVE THE QUEEN IN MORE WAYS THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE!", Kira shouted as her eyes glowed up white. Electricity was sparkling at the tips of her fingers and her entire body was full of electrical energy. She could feel it in every bone and vein and muscle - the tickling strength! It filled her body and it seemed to be boiling underneath her blue skin. The electricity felt so good...

"Kira, NO! Jack and Elizabeth!", Calypso shouted, but it was too late.

All of the electricity discharged from her in a big lightning ball, hitting the two sharks, Elizabeth and Jack and it would even have hit Calypso if she hadn't shielded herself. There was nothing but white light.

Then, Silence.

Kira's eyes went back to normal, her feelings returning and she looked around wildly.

"Jack," it was her first thought and she immediately spotted him, floating between wooden parts of the sunk ship.
She swam towards him, grabbing his shirt. He wasn't breathing.

"Bring him up!", Calypso's voice rang in her ears.

Kira swam up to one of the planks that were floating on the water, pulling Jack up with her.
She shove him and herself onto the plank and turned him around so that he was lying on his back.

"Jack...," her voice cracked, as her skin slowly lost the blue colour.

She looked over to Calypso who had brought Elizabeth up to a plank as well.
"Check if he's alive," her sister said dryly.
Kira leaned down to hear his heartbeat.
Nothing.

Kira had tears in her eyes as she looked up at her sister again.
"I've got an idea," Calypso told her.
"What is it?", Kira asked, but all of her hope seemed gone.

There was no shine in her eyes. The deepness of her blue orbs was gone.

"Struck them again," Calypso demanded.
"What?! You're mad! It'll destroy them," Kira protested, but her voice was weak.
Then, Calypso looked right at her face and said, "You sound like Elizabeth."

And Kira's face darkened.

"Okey," she snarled and clenched her fists.
A big, grey cloud established above them. Kira closed her eyes, concentrated and...
A lighting illuminated the sky, thunder growled.

Jack gasped as his lungs filled with air and his blood started flowing through his veins again.

"Ha!", Kira cried tears of happiness as she saw his chest sinking and rising.
But she quickly stopped crying, pulling herself together. The rain washed away the stains before Jack even raised his head to look at her.

"Kira?", he mumbled.
"Aye."

He turned around and saw Elizabeth. She was breathing heavily, clenching on the the plank she was on. Calypso stood behind her in the water.

"Slowly I'm startin' to think that taking four women as me only crew is bad luck," he said.
"Hey! I just saved ya!", Kira snapped.
"Aye," he sat up and looked around. Then he casually fished his hat that was swimming by out of the water and put it on.

"Now, we don't even have a boat anymore. Abandon ship, GREAT idea, really," Elizabeth complained.

Kira rolled her eyes at her, "Oh, be quiet, lassie! At least we're not on the Flying Dutchman on our way to-"
"Wait! Jack, Kira, that's it! The Flying Dutchman! Will!", Elizabeth cut her off.

"Did you just cut me off?", Kira hissed.

"That's not the point. I've got a solution to this situation!"

"Mrs. Turner," Jack joined in, "How exactly did ya find a solution, love?"
Kira flinched at his last word, but she ignored it.

"Well, we could go on the Flying Dutchman, right?", Elizabeth explained, "Will will take us with him."

"Aye, but first of all, how do we find him and second, what about the Pearl?", Kira replied.

"Well, that dog Barbossa got his filthy hands on her again, Love. Af'er Will became the new Davy Jones and we'd freed Calypso, me crew and I found out 'bout Nymphadora's plans. As we met you, we unfortunately left Barbossa on Turtuga...," Jack explained.
"And now they probably sailed back as Barbossa is the only Cap'n they've got left, I understand," Kira finished his sentence, groaning in frustration.

"Still, how will we find the Flying Dutchman?", Kira wondered.

"I think I can help you out there," Calypso suddenly said, a smile curling her lips.
"Of course... Davy...!," Kira mumbled, remembering.
"Yes, my sister. Don't worry, the Dutchman will come."

So they waited.
"I thought the Dutchman was a fast ship!", Elizabeth moaned annoyed.
No one responded.

Jack was staring into the water at the waves.
"Jack," Kira addressed him with a soft voice, slightly touching his shoulder, "Something troubles you, I can see it."

He chuckled bitterly, but didn't answer.
Yet, Kira could feel his emotions. He was full of anger and sorrow.

Jack's emotions were something difficult as they were always kind of stumbling around, Kira knew that only too well.
But now Kira felt Jack being frustrated and mad - probably at himself, but he would never admit that.

The sun was burning down at them. Kira sighed. They'd been on the plank in the water for almost an hour now and she was slowly getting more insane than she already was.

"Why is the rum always gone?", she mumbled.

Then, she heard Elizabeth shout out, "Hey! Look, they're coming!"
