All the pirate ships we lined up in the water ready to fight against Beckett and what he may bring. I stood at the bow of the ship with Ngaio and Jack.

"Where is Will?" Ngaio questioned Jack.

"He is hopefully with Beckett, " he said moving away from her and closer to me.

"Hopefully?"

"Well, I sorta pushed him overboard knowing the Navy was following, " Jack rambled. Ngaio was getting angrier by the second.

"Ngaio this is Will we're talking about I'm certain he's fine, " I reassured hoping it would stop from harming Jack although I don't entirely blame her.

She calmed down slightly but she still seemed tense. Fog coated the relatively calm seas as we waited and waited. Then slowly a ship emerged out of the fog. Then another and another and then far too many to count or fight against.

"Parley?" Jack suggested.

"Aye, " I said looking slightly worried at the many many ships in front of us.

Barbossa joined us at the front of the ship.
"So what's the plan now?" Barbossa said with a smirk.

"Parley, " I said over my shoulder still staring at the massive fleet before me. "Right come on, we need to go ashore, " I said walking to the boats after sending someone to signal the Parlay. I look behind me and saw only Barbossa and Ngaio following. I stared at Jack.

"What?"

"You're coming too, " I stated as the best was lowered into the water. Jack sighed and came over.

"Where are you going?" Liz asked marching over.

"We are going to talk with the enemy, " I explained.

"good luck, " she said.

"Thanks, I fear we might need it."

We all clambered into the rowboat with Gibbs who brought us to the small patch of sand in between the two fleets of ships.

"Thank you, Gibbs, " I said getting out of the boat.

"You're welcome, " he replied smiling.

We walked through the sand and ended up face to face with Will, Beckett and, of course, Dad.

"So you're the one that gave up the location of the court, " I said looking at Will.

"He was merely the tool if you want to see the architect of your betrayal look to your left, " Beckett said.

We all did and look at Jack who had also turned only to find the ocean.

"My hands are clean in all this," Jack held his hands up and pulled a face at the dirt covering them.

"Figuratively not literally, " I added rolling my eyes slightly.

"My actions were my own and were nothing to do with Jack, " Will declared.

"See listen to the tool, " Jack said.

"Will we were aboard the Dutchman I worry it's a lost cause, " Ngaio pleaded.

"No cause is lost if there is someone fighting for it, " he replied.

"Why did Turner give me this if he was not acting on your behalf? You made a deal with me Jack now have the reward, " Beckett said throwing the compass to him.

"However you still have a debt to satisfy with me, " Dad stated.

"That was paid when he died. You took him from me once. I will not allow you to send him back to that damned locker of yours or make him a part of your horrid crew, " I said angrily.
