Davey Jones' spun around to meet the distressed face of James Norrington. "Belay'a the order'a? I'm so attempted'a to not accept'a that order'a!" he threatened.

The Flying Dutchman creeked as it continued to fill with the cold ocean's water. The wind was growing stronger now, and the rain, was pouring harder upon them.

_______________

Jack's attention was also drawn to where Wyvern was, and now, had been.

The heart? Here? Beckett had it surely. But, Jack Sparrow wasn't so sure about that.

The young pirate turned his direction towards Bootstrap and he raised a questionable eyebrow, "Hidden? The thump-thump?"

Will looked to Barbossa with a fearful expression, "Fight back?! We cannot win this! The Dutchman and it's crew are immortal! There is no way out except to retreat."

Finally reaching Elizabeth, he held onto her tightly and said, "Whatever happens, I want you to know that I love you."

Turning back to Barbossa, Will shouted, "RETREAT, Barbossa!"

"I don' know..." Bootstrap replied, shrugging helplessly. "How'd be as good a time as any for one o' yer plans, though."

"Listen to me boy, we ha'nt got a chance retreatin'! It'd be against the wind, an' there be no harzardin' ta outrun 'er like that!" Barbossa said strongly, pulling a rope taught as he did. "Now take help me pull 'er round, so we at least have a fightin' chance!"

-----

Norrington stepped up threateningly to Jones, looking him in the eyes coldly. His voice was now lowered to a calmer tone, mmeant for Jones ears alone.

"Belay the order, or suffer the consequences of one who disobeys."

"NO!" shouted Will. Pulling out his sword from it's sheath, he placed it against Barbossa's neck pushing him up against the ledge of the Pearl, "We will not fight. There is no chance...no chance against Jones and the Dutchman. You condemn us all to death!"
------------------------

Elizabeth looked frightened beyond all reasoning and simply stood there frozen.

Davey Jones' face faded into anger and frustration. His eyes twitched a blink and he snapped back his head. He cracked his crab-claw shut and his tentacles rose up into spastic squirms. Davey Jones then turned away from Norrington and shouted across the deck, "Belay that'a order'a! Bring 'er back!"

____________

Jack's tired, drained eyes looked up at Bootstrap Bill. "Can't think to well mate..." he notioned towards his back which was still dripping blood and his 'new' gills gasping for air weakly.

He grinned painfully yet played it off, "So, now, My tremendous intuitive sense of the coral, covered, star-fished creature informs me that ye
'ave an idea."

((Helm, Frodo, not mast. And whatever happened to "We must turn and fight! If we can outrun her, we can take her!"? ;)))

"Oh, aye, since my ideas o' late 'ave been so brilliant," Bootstrap muttered sarcastically. They sat in silence for some time, the only sounds to be heard the creaking of the wood and the noise of battle overhead. Then, without warning, he abruptly stood up and strode over to the door of the cell. "Surely he's smarter'n that..." he said under his breath, looking inquisitively at the lock. After a moment of intense concentration, he waved a hand closely over the lock and waited. At first nothing happened, but Bootstrap continued to stare at the lock. Then, slowly, metallic popping and snapping sounds became audible, increasing in frequency and volume until at last a cluster of barnacles and other shelled creatures emerged through the holes in the lock. Bootstrap pushed experimentally on the door, and it slowly swung open. "After you."

Tia looked up briefly from her activities to speak. "I cannae control dis storm much longer!" she called out over the thunder, the crashing of waves, and the cannon fire. "An' I cannae conjur favorable conditions for a ret'reat. Ye'll eit'er fight 'ere or die 'ere, William Turnah!"

(LOL...sorry POTR! I was just trying for something different. :-P I'll edit the mast bit.)

Jack straightened up and cocked his neck to the side with an unusual look on his face. "That's interesting." he said with a satisfied nod to add to his statement.

Slowly, the young pirate hoisted himself up to stand using the cell's bars as support. Standing now, Jack slid himself around Bootstrap and towards the other end of the door. He poked his head forward and examined the lock closely. He touched it curiously and then pulled back away from it letting his focus meet Bootstrap's eyes, "When did ye learn to do that?..." He wiggled his fingers towards the lock, notioning towards it.

Barbossa scowled and rolled his eyes heavenward at the boy’s actions, muttering “what did I do to be stuck with him?”

“Pipe down lad, ye’ve no idea what ye’re sayin’! Fightin’ be as good as our only chance!”

He forcefully pushed the younger man away again, giving a worried look toward the <i>Dutchman</I> from whence another shot had just been fired, and this time, it didn’t miss. The <i>Pearl</I> gave a lurch and shudder, so that evening the howling of the storm was missed for a while.

--

Norrington made his way hurriedly down to the gun deck now, yelling orders to load and ready the cannons once more. A thin layer of water still remained from the almost carried out order, and for a moment he began to question in his mind <i>what</I> exactly Jones had been doing... but no time to mull over that at the moment.

Will's eyes shifted fearfully at the Dutchman across the stormy sea. With hesitation, he looked toward Elizabeth and then back at Barbossa, "I will fight then....we all with fight...and if we die...then so be it."

Taking Elizabeth in his arms, he said, "Remember that I love you." He then kissed her and began to assist Barbossa in readying for the fight.
------------------------------------

Elizabeth's eyes teared, but she eventually shouted in Ragetti's direction, "Get to it man! Or I'll throw you overboard myself!"
---------------------------------------------

Ragetti came out of hiding and ran toward Barbossa, "Orders captain?"

"I've done it before," Bootstrap replied with a noncommittal shrug. "For example, whenever Jones first sent me t' warn you. I told ye, all o' us have our own unique abilities. Some o' us are jus' less open with 'em than others."

Jack shifted his weight and swayed back from Bill. He cleared his throat but decided not to keep silent. "Can ye make it grow on other things? Say, said people?" he inquired with squinted eyes.

Boostrap stared at Jack inquisitively, trying to determine where that question had come from. "...I s'pose I could, in theory," he finally replied. "Though I can't imagine it'd be any too pleasant. Why d'ye ask? We're wastin' time simply sittin' here. S'only a matter of time 'til th' battle ends an' they notice we're not in th' cell."

"Curious..." Sparrow said with a simple shrug to his shoulders, "An' also takin' to mind that ye be the cause of yer own growths." Here he smirked and looked Bootstrap Bill up and down in example while pointing a finger at him also.
