In the Captain's cabin of the Black Pearl, Jack and Barbossa continued their negotiation whilst Y/N munched on an Apple, listening to the whole humorous event. "So you expect to leave me standing on some beach with nothing but a name and your word it's the one I need and watch you sail away in my ship?" Barbosa questioned, Jack planned on marooning him as revenge for the exact same thing that happened to him ten years prior. "No. I expect to leave you standing on some beach with absolutely no name at all, watching me sail away on my ship and then I'll shout the name back to you. Savvy?" "But that still leaves us with the problem of me standing on some beach with naught but a name and your word it's the one I need. Jack took a seat besides Y/N, eyeing the bowl of green and red Apples. "Of the two of you, Jack is the only one who hasn't committed mutiny, therefore, I personally trust his word more than anybody else's on this ship" Y/N smiled innocently. "Very well said lass! Although, suppose I should be thanking you because, in fact, if you hadn't betrayed me and left me to die, I would have an equal share in that curse, same as you. Funny ol' world, innit?" He grinned before picking up a green Apple and taking a large bite out of it. Barbosa eyed the pair suspiciously before Bosun walked in. "Captain! We're coming up on the Interceptor!" The three rushed out and surely enough the Navy ship could easily be spotted in the distance. Barbosa walked up to the bow as Jack proposed another idea. "I'm having a thought here, Barbossa. What say we run up a flag of truce? I scurry over to the Interceptor, and I negotiate the return of your medallion, eh? What say you to that?" But that idea got them both locked in the brigg as the battle between the Interceptor and the Black Pearl began.
The crew amongst the Interceptor planned on using the wind and speed against the Pearl, chucking anything of unimportance overboard to lighten the ship and increase speed but the Pirate ship was faster. Much faster. It wasn't long before the two ships were side by side, the Interceptor's canons now loaded with anything and everything left aboard the vessel. "Fire!" "Fire all!" The ships exchanged cannon fire. A whole was blown in the hull. "Stop blowing holes in my ship!" Sparrow snapped until he noticed that the shot from the cannon destroyed the lock on his cell door. "Give me a sec lass!" Jack ran off before returning with keys. "Same place, I left em" he grinned "why aren't you a dear?" The two grabbed their things before going up to the deck to join the battle. They were able to secure ropes and swung across to the Interceptor. "Gibbs! Bloody empty" he gave the man his canteen back before rushing to Elizabeth. Y/N shot a pirate in the face and pushed him over the rail before running another one through but their immortality meant that any injuries were not at all lethal, a battle that couldn't be won.
Evidently proven when the Interceptor's crew were being tied to the mast of the Black Pearl with William missing. Pintel had his pistol out, pointed at the crew as they were tied up. "If any of you as much as thinks the word 'parley' I'll have your guts for garters!" He threatened before the Interceptor exploded "Will! You blasted pirate!" Elizabeth screamed, attempting to attack Barbosa. "Welcome back, Miss. You took advantage of our hospitality last time. It holds fair now that you return the favor" he laughed before pushing her to his crew who began to grab and pull at her but Elizabeth's knight in sea soaked clothes jumped aboard the ship, gun aimed at his own head. "My name is Will Turner, my father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins" he explained, making him a valuable necessity. "On my word do as I say or I'll pull this trigger and be lost to Davy Jones' Locker" Will continued, glaring intently at Barbossa who stepped forward carefully, his yellowed eyes never leaving Will's. "Name your terms, Mr. Turner" "Elizabeth goes free and the crew! The crew are not to be harmed!" Barbossa grinned, mouth filled with yellowed teeth or ones made out of silver and gold. There was something sick and twisted to his voice as he answered Will's requests. "Agreed!"
"Go on, Poppet, go! Walk the plank!" Pintel chuckled, the Black Pearl anchored near to a deserted island. One that was all too familiar to Captain Jack Sparrow. "Barbossa, you lying bastard! You swore she'd go free!" Will spat, held back by two pirates. "Don't dare impugn me honor, boy. I agreed she'd go free but it was you who failed to specify when or where. Though it does seem a shame to lose something so fine, don?t it lads? So I'll be having that dress back before you go" Elizabeth ripped the dress off and threw at him with hatred and disgust in her eyes. "It goes with your black heart" she was then forced onto the ship's plank but took too long to jump for the Pirates' liking. Bosun shook the plank and so Elizabeth fell. Y/N was dragged to the plank yet. "Barbosa, I can't hell but feel confused. Why am I amongst those who you're marooning?" She asked the Captain, he sneered at Jack before looking back at her. "I feel it would be cruel to keep two lovers apart whilst one dies" he cackled before she too was pushed off. A terrible misunderstanding but like Jack, she was allowed her gun and sword. The three swam to the island, exhausted by time they reached dry land and Captain Jack Sparrow watched Barbosa sail away with his ship for the second time.
