Act One: Chapter V: Moonlight

March 20 1728

After stealing the interceptor and leaving port royal. Will Turner was sharpening his sword as he was talking to The Order and they were listening to him.

Will: When I was a lad living in England, my mother raised me by herself. After she died, I came out here, looking for my father.

Jason: Is that so?

Will: My father, Will Turner. At the jail, It was only after you learned my name that you agreed to help. Since that's what I wanted, I didn't press the matter. But Alex, How do you know my father?

Alex: I knew him. Probably one the few who knew him as William Turner. Everyone else just called him Bootstrap or Bootstrap Bill.

Will: Bootstrap?

Alex: Good man. Good pirate.

After hearing that Bill was a pirate, Will was shocked by what he heard and spoke to Alex as he was listening to him.

Will: It's not true. He was a merchant sailor. A good, respectable man who obeyed the law.

Alex: He was a pirate and-

Will: My father was not a pirate!

Turner took out his sword and looked at Alex as Ambrose along with The Order were speaking to him.

Racheal: Put that away. It's not worth you getting beat again.

Will: You didn't beat me. You ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I'd killed you all.

Michael: Is that so?

Suddenly Jason and Charles turned the ship's wheel as the boom shifts and catches Will swinging him out over the sea.

Will was angry and shouted at the order to put him down until the order spoke to him.

Alex: Now, as long as you're just hanging there. Pay attention, The only rules that really matter are these. What a man can do and what a man can't do. For instance, you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can't.

Charles: But remember pirate is in your blood, boy, so you'll have to square with that someday.

Michael: Now us for example, We can let you drown but we can't bring this ship into Tortuga all by ourselves savvy?

Jason: [Swings Will back on board ashe drops to the deck] So Can you sail under the command of a pirate? Or can you not?

Alex gave the sword back to Will as he looked at them until Turner nodded as they began making their way to Tortuga.

Tortuga is a pirate heaven where no law can stop them. In Tortuga numerous fights happen along with pirates drinking like there's no tomorrow.

The Order along with Will Turner were walking around Tortuga as one drunk pirate tried to attack Jason but Shadow hit the pirate in the head with a bottle and kicked him as he fell down.

Jason: Some things just never change here.

Suddenly Two pirates tried to attack them but Racheal punched one pirate in the face and hit a super kick on him. Micheal took out the other pirate by hitting a uppercut followed by a big boot on the pirate.

Three pirates tried to attack them but Alex hit a leg sweep on one pirate as Charles took out the other pirate by hitting a jump kick on him followed by roundhouse kick. Will took out the last pirate by hitting him in the head with a bottle as they continued walking.

Alex: Welcome to Tortuga.

Will saw some pirates drinking beer while there were other pirates fighting each other. The group continued walking until they saw two women walking towards them as Charles recognised them.

Charles: Hey Scarlett-

Scarlett slapped Charles as The Order and Will stared at them until Leighton spoke to them.

Charles: Not sure if I deserved that. [Sees Giselle] Giselle!

Giselle: Who was she?!?!

She slapped Charles and walked away as the order and will were looking at him until Charles said something to them.

Charles: I may have deserved that.

Racheal: Umm Well then, Let's keep going.

The Order and Will continued walking until they made it to the barn as Alex grabbed a bucket filled with water. The Order and Will entered the barn as Alex threw water at a man sleeping as the man woke up and shouted at them.

Unknown: Curse ya for breathing, you slack-jawed idiot!

Joshamee Gibbs was the longtime comrade and devoted first mate of Captain Jack Sparrow and Alex Ambrose. Teller of tales and a skillful sailor who cleverly navigated his way through many deadly situations. Gibbs also has an encyclopedic knowledge in all manner of pirate lore of the seven seas

Gibbs saw the order and will as he was shocked and spoke to them.

Gibbs: The Order. You all should know better than to wake a man when he's sleeping. . . Bad luck.

Racheal: Well fortunately we know how to counter it.

Jason: The man who did the waking buys the man who was sleeping, a drink. The man who was sleeping drinks it while listening to a proposition from the man who did the waking.

Gibbs: [Smiles] Aye, that'll about do it.

Suddenly Charles, Micheal, Racheal and Will threw more water at Gibbs as he was annoyed and spoke to him.

Gibbs: I'm awake!

Charles: That was for the smell.

Michael: Come on we don't have that much time.

Racheal: I agree on that. Come on.

Gibbs nodded and left the barn as they were following him. Eventually they made it to a bar as Alex gave a drink to Gibbs and began speaking to him.

Gibbs: So what brings you here?

Alex: We're going after the Black Pearl.

Gibbs choked on his drink as the order were looking at him and continued speaking to him.

Charles: We know where it's going to be, and we're going to take it.

Gibbs: Order. It's a fool's errand. You all know the tales of the Black Pearl better then me.

Michael: That's why we know what Barbossa is up to. All we need is a crew.

Gibbs: [Looks at Alex] From what I hear tell of Captain Barbossa. He's not a man to suffer fools, nor strike a bargain with one.

Alex: Well, then I'd say it's a very good thing I'm not a fool then, eh?

Gibbs: Prove me wrong. What makes ye think Barbossa will give up his ship to you?

Racheal: Oh don't worry about that.

Jason: We have our ways.

Will was looking at them as Gibbs was thinking about something until he gave his response to the order.

Gibbs: I'll find us a crew. There's bound to be some sailors on this rock.

The Order nodded and said something to Gibbs as he was listening to them.

The Order: Take what you can.

Gibbs: [Laughs] Give nothing back.

Meanwhile The Black Pearl was sailing through the sea as Anne was in the cabin until Pintel opened the door and spoke to Anne.

Pintel: The Captain wants you at the cabin. He wants to talk to you.

Anne looked at him as she got up and left the cabin. She was following Pintel until she saw the captain's cabin as she entered the cabin and saw Barbossa walking around as he was looking at the medallion.

Hector told Anne to sit down as she looked at him and sat down on the chair as Barbossa spoke to her.

Hector: You must be hungry. [Gives her a goblet with wine] Try the wine or [Gives her a apple] Or an apple?

Anne: It's poisoned.

Hector: There would be no sense to be killing ye, Miss Turner.

Anne: Then release me. You have the medallion.

Barbossa: [Shows Anne the medallion] You don't know what this is, do ya?

Anne: It's a pirate medallion

Hector: This is Aztec gold. One of eight hundred eighty two identical pieces they delivered in a stone chest to Cortés himself. Blood money paid to stem the slaughter he wreaked upon them with his armies. But the greed of Cortés was insatiable. So the gods placed upon the gold a terrible curse. Any mortal that removes but a single piece from that stone chest shall be punished for eternity.

Anne: I hardly believe in ghost stories anymore, Captain Barbossa.

Hector: Aye. That's exactly what I thought when we were first told the tale. Buried on an Island of Dead what cannot be found except for those who know where it is. Find it, we did. There be the chest. Inside be the gold. And we took 'em all. We spent 'em and traded them and frittered it away on drink and food and pleasurable company. The more we gave 'em away, The more we came to realize. . . The drink would not satisfy and food turned to ash in our mouths.

Hector was walking around holding the medallion as he continued speaking to Anne.

Hector: We are cursed men Miss Turner. Compelled by greed, we were, but now we are consumed by it.

As Hector was talking to Anne, Winters took a butter knife and was waiting for the right opportunity to attack Hector as she continued listening to what he was saying.

Hector: There is one way we can end our curse. All the scattered pieces of the Aztec gold must be restored, and the blood repaid. Thanks to ye, We have the final piece.

Anne: And the blood to be repaid?

Hector: That's why there's no sense to be killin' ya. . . Apple?

Suddenly Anne stabbed Barbossa in the chest with a butter knife but Hector felt no pain as he was laughing at her and Anne was shocked.

Hector: I'm curious after killin' me what is it you're plannin' on doing next?

Anne immediately ran out of the cabin until she saw the crew.

Anne began screaming as she was terrified by what she saw. All the pirates were skeletons and even growled at her.

Anne began running until she saw. . .

Anne began screaming as the pirates were walking towards her until she saw Hector as he said something to her.

Hector: Look! The moonlight shows us for what we really are. We are not among the living and so we cannot die but neither are we dead. For too long I've been parched of thirst and unable to quench it. Too long I've been starving to death and haven't died.

Hector: I feel nothing. . . Not the wind on my face nor the spray of the sea. You best start believing in ghost stories Miss Turner. . . You're in one.

Anne immediately ran back inside the cabin as Hector closed the door and began laughing as the other pirates were laughing with him until he said something to them.

Hector: What are ye looking at? Back to work!

The pirates nodded and immediately went back to work as Hector was walking towards the wheel and looked at the medallion.
