James looked at Beckett in the eyes. Then he looked back at Ekaterina.
"Aren't you going back to Port Royal?" She asked.
"No forget Port Royal. For now anyway." James said.
"Beckett will find out that you are missing..." she said.
"But he won't find me. And if I'm already married to you. Then he can't do anything right?" James asked.
"But if he can't find you...there will be a chance that he will marry Jasmine instead."
"She and Theo are together."
"I know... just what if...."
"You're right I'll go back and then get them.....if you don't mind of course?"
She looks at him but didn't said anything.
James sighed and then kissed her cheek.
"Aren't you going back to Port Royal?" She asked.
"Yes but I want to let you know that I love you" James said then kissed her.
She slightly smiled. "I love you too."
James hugged her.
She hugged him back.
James smiled before he left. "I promise I will see you again" James told her before he shut the door and went back to Port Royal.
She stared at the place he only used to stand minutes ago.
James took his small boat back to Port Royal with him in it.
Beckett ordered his men to use guns and swords to point at the heart.
James arrived at the small harbour.
Theo, Jasmine, Andrew and Amethyst are sitting in the sitting room in Theo's house.
James ran in. "Sorry to bust in I forgot to knock" James said.
"It's fine." Theo said.
James was out of breath.
"What's wrong?" Amethyst asked.
"She told me to come back"
"Oh..." Theo said.
James sat down next to Theo.
"So Admiral?" Andrew asked.
"Huh oh um forgot to tell you that I'm sorry"
"It's fine. Beckett told us all." Theo said.
James sighed "where is he?" James asked.
"In his office." Andrew said.
James smiled in relief.
"He ordered Mercer to find his 'fiancée' through..."
James sighed "where is he at?"
"Not sure." Jasmine said.
"Shit" James said.
"He left already." Andrew said.
"What did he say?"
"He said he is going to find Isabelle Evans." Andrew said.
"Shit" James said but he calmed himself.
"I hope your lover is out of the country." Amethyst said.
"She will be" James said.
"I hope so." Jasmine said.
James nods.
They all looked down in silence.
A letter was delivered to the house. It seems that James need to go aboard the Flying Dutchman.
James looked at the letter "Damn it this is going to get me killed" James said to himself.
Theo received one as well. It seems he will aboard the Dutchman as well. And his letter also states that Jasmine will be with them.
"Shit" James said.
"I guess we need to go then. It's not like we can disobey him...." Theo said.
James wished he could.
Theo and Jasmine went to pack their things.
James packed his things and got his new uniform on.
They all need to go aboard the Endeavour first.
James followed Theo.
Jasmine soon followed.
James looked around the main deck.
Beckett, Mercer and Governor Swann are there already.
James glanced over at Beckett.
They are sailing towards the Flying Dutchman with the heart in the chest.
James is a little frightened.
It seems that the Dutchman had attacked some ships not long ago.
James looked at the wreckage.
"Bosun! Head to wind! Lift the sail! Bosun!
Head to wind! Lift the sail!" a lieutenant said.
"Aye, aye, sir!" The bosun answered.
"Bloody hell, there's nothing left," Beckett said as he lowered the spyglass. Fire was burning away at the surface of the water, where there were once several pirate ships.
"Jones is a loose cannon, sir," Mercer said from beside him.
"Fetch the chest."
"And the Governor?" Mercer questioned, causing Beckett to pause. "He's been asking questions about the heart."
"Does he know?" Beckett asked and Mercer raised an eyebrow as Beckett turned to face him. "Hmm, then perhaps his usefulness has run its course."
Soldiers and the Governor in boats rowing over to the Flying Dutchman.
Davy mournfully playing his organ with only two of his tentacles. He picks up his locket which is playing the music and a single tear runs down his cheek. He picks it up with a tentacle, looks at it, and then becomes angry.
Soldiers rushing up onto the Flying Dutchman. Davy's crew comes out to meet them, then James emerges as well.
James said to Murtogg and Mullroy. "Steady, men."
"Go! All of you! And take that infernal thing with you! I will not have it on my ship!" Jones said after he walks in the front of his crew.
Beckett and Mercer emerge.
"I'm sorry to hear that, because I will. Because it seems to be the only way to ensure that this ship do as directed by the company. We need prisoners to interrogate, which tends to work best when they're alive." Beckett said.
"The Dutchman sails as its captain commands." Jones said.
"And its captain is to sail it as commanded. I thought you would have learned that when I ordered you to kill your pet. This is no longer your world, Jones. The immaterial has become...immaterial." Beckett said.
James and the men with the chest walk off towards Davy's cabin. Five men pointing their guns at Davy's heart in the open chest.
"Charge bayonets!" James said.
-time skip-
On the deck of the Pearl
"What are you proposing, Captain?" Sao Feng said.
"What be accepted, Captain?" Barbosa asked.
" The girl. " Sao Feng told him.
"What?" Elizabeth butted in questioningly.
"Elizabeth is not part of any bargain!" Will said.
"Out of the question." Barbosa said.
"It was not a question." Sao Feng said.
"Done." Elizabeth said.
"What? Not done!" Will said shocked.
"You got us into this mess! If this is what frees us, then done!" Elizabeth said.
"Elizabeth they're pirates!" Will told her.
"I've had more than enough experience dealing with pirates!" Elizabeth said to Will.
"So we have an accord?" Barbossa asked.
~Time Skip~
Sao Feng in his cabin, talking to two ladies in Chinese and Elizabeth is standing over by a pole dressed up.
"By this time tomorrow we will arrive at Shipwreck Cove, and you will be free. Calypso." Sao Feng said.
"Excuse me?" Elizabeth asked.
"Not the name you fancy, I imagine, out of the many that you have. But it is what we call you." Sao Feng said.
"We being who?" Elizabeth asked.
"You confirm it." Sao Feng said.
"Confirm what? You've told me nothing." Elizabeth said.
"The Brethren Court, not I, the first Brethren Court, whose position I would have opposed, bound you to human form, so the rule of the seas would belong to men and not..." Sao Feng said.
"...me." Elizabeth said.
"But one such as you should never be anything less that what you are." Sao Feng said.
"Pretty speech from a captor. But words whispered through prison bars lose their charm." Elizabeth said.
"Can I be blamed for my efforts? All men are drawn to the sea, perilous though it may be." Sao Feng said.
"And some men offer desire as justification for their crimes." Elizabeth said.
"I offer simply my desire." Sao Feng said.
"And in return?" Elizabeth asked .
"I would have your gifts, should you choose to give them." Sao Feng said.
"And if I should choose not?" Elizabeth asked.
"Then I will take your fury!" Sao Feng said.
Sao Feng grabs Elizabeth and kisses her, she shoves him away and a cannonball bursts through the side of the ship, sending splintered wood flying. A large piece of wood skewers Sao Feng.
"Sao Feng!" Elizabeth said.
"Here... please. With all nine pieces of eight, you will be free. Take it! You are captain now. Go in my place to Shipwreck Cove." Sao Feng said.
"Me?" Elizabeth asked.
"Captain the ship is taken we cannot..." Tai Huang said.
"Forgive me, Calypso." Sao Feng said and dies.
"What did he tell you?" Tai Huang asked Elizabeth.
"He made me captain." Elizabeth said holding the necklace Sao Feng gave her.
Tai Huang turns and runs out followed by Elizabeth. Outside they are grabbed by two guards.
"You are not my captain." Tai Huang said to Elizabeth.
James saw Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth?" James asked from below.
"James!" Elizabeth said and she shakes free of guard and goes down to James who hugs her.
"Thank God you're alive your father will be overjoyed to know you are safe" James said.
"My father's dead." Elizabeth said glaring at James.
"No that can't be true he returned to England" James said with slight confusion.
"Did Lord Beckett tell you that?" She asked angrily.
"Who among you do you call Captain?" Jones asked as every crew of the Empress pointed to Elizabeth.
Davy Jones gets a surprised look on his face. "Captain?" He asked.
James seemed a little shocked as well.
"Tow the ship! Put the prisoners in the brig." Said Rosalina Jones.
"And the captain shall have my quarters." Jasmine said.
James tries to lead Elizabeth to Jasmine's cabin.
"Thank you sir....but I prefer to stay with my crew!"
"Elizabeth. I swear I did not know" James said looking into her eyes with sadness.
"Know what? Which side you chose?" Elizabeth said and steps back to her men. "Well now you do."
James face saddens when she was lead to the brig by Jones's crew.
Rosalina is making a plan in her head to help the crew to escape.
James was doing the same.
"What should we do?" Jasmine asked. She and Theo are in James's quarters.
James walked in and looked at them.
"Maybe we stole the heart....and helped Miss Swann and her crew to escape?" Theo suggested.
"Sure." Theo said.
James smiled happily.
"But you got to be the one who steal the heart and the key." Theo said.
James nods "yes sir" he said with a smile.
"There is no need to call me sir." Theo said chuckling.
"But you're the one coming up with this plan" James said with a smile.
"Well....alright...." Theo said. Rosalina bumps into James.
James giggles a little.
"I am sorry Admiral." She said to him.
"It's alright" James said.
"I am Rosalina Jones." She said introducing herself.
"I'm James Norrington it is nice to meet you" James said with a smile.
"You are not afraid of me? I am the daughter of Davy Jones...sadly..." said Rosalina.
"Well you seem nice so I am not afraid" James said smiling.
"Oh...I...to be honest...I hate my father...he killed so many innocent people...." she said.
"I don't like him either" James said looking at her.
She gives him the heart and the key. "Good luck." She smiled at him.
"Thank you" James said while putting the items in the pocket of his uniform.
"You are welcome. Go and broke the prisoners away...the coast is clear...bring your friends with you..." she said.
"Thank you" James said and did as she told him to.
Elizabeth is in the brig with her crew.
James goes down to the brig and opens the cell door.
"Come with us." Jasmine said to Elizabeth. But when she noticed she is not moving she said again "Quickly!"
"What are you doing?" she asked James as she ordered her men to go.
"Choosing a side" James told her.
They are all walking at the side of the Flying Dutchman. James, Jasmine and Theo are waiting all the crew have escaped, Elizabeth is now next to them.
Rosalina walks to where they are. She hides in the shadows.
"Do not go to Shipwreck Cove. Beckett knows of the meeting of the Brethren. I fear there may be a traitor among them." James said.
"It's too late to earn my forgiveness." Elizabeth said.
"I had nothing to do with your father's death. That doesn't absolve me of my other sins." James said.
"Come with us. James, come with me... for your girl..." Elizabeth said.
"Who goes there?" Bootstrap said.
"Go. I will follow." James said to Elizabeth, Theo and Jasmine.
"You're lying." Elizabeth said.
"Our destiny has been entwined...Elizabeth...but never joined...help me to tell Ekaterina that I love her..." James said.
James hugs Elizabeth before she goes. He is holding a sword towards bootstrap who showed up a few minutes ago. "Part of the crew. Part of the ship." Bootstrap kept saying over and over again.
Theo and Jasmine goes after Elizabeth.
James was keeping Bootstrap back with the point of his sword.
"James!" Elizabeth yelled as he saw Bootstrap coming near to James with his sword.
"Stand down! That's an order " James said to bootstrap as he glanced back at Elizabeth. He looked like he was about to cry.
"Go...I will follow..." Rosalina comes out and she told James to go.
James listens to her and follows Elizabeth, Theo and Jasmine.
She shots the rope that is connecting the Flying Dutchman and the Empress.
James and the others fall into the ocean. James is near Elizabeth.
Bootstrap has stabbed Rosalina.
James watched in sadness.
Looking down, Rosalina winces when she sees the jagged wooden plank protruding from her chest, just below her ribs. With a grunt, she leans backwards heavily, her legs giving out beneath her as she collapses against the railing of the ship. A final effort to stand in the face of her death sends Rosalina overboard, falling, falling, seemingly through eternity.
The pain bludgeons her senses, pulsing with growing intensity against her brain, until she closes her eyes and welcomes the seawater rushing up to greet her as an old friend.
James had tears streaming down his face. He didn't like seeing people die. Even though he sees it everyday.
Jasmine saw and she cried as well. She swims to where Rosalina has fallen. She forced herself to open her eyes to find Rosalina's limp body sinking ever deeper into the cold embrace of the sea. Struggling now, as she grasps her hand and tries to wrap her arms around her shoulders without moving the thick wood embedded in her abdomen.
James tried to save her but was stopped by one of Elizabeth's crew members.
James saw Jasmine crying. "Jasmine come on we've gotta go before the rest of his crew tries to get us." James told her.
"James...help me to pull her up...she's too heavy for me..."
James nods then helped his sister.
Together, they swim to the Empress and pull Rosalina aboard.
James whipped the tears off his face as he carried Rosalina's limb body to the closest hammock.
Rosalina is unconscious, but still she has slow heartbeats.
James sighed. He didn't want to take the wood out cause he knew she'd bleed to death.
Elizabeth called the doctor to help Rosalina. And they are going to Shipwreck Cove.
