Not exactly Part III

I don't think there was anything left to put in Part III. I really thought there would be more, but I guess I kinda squished some stuff together. I squigethered stuff. Maybe.
I wanted everyone's opinion on something (and help if your brains are all working!). Some friends of mine and Belegwen's from co-op want to do a pirates of the caribbean movie with us. Not exactly a #3 or anything, just using the characters for a new movie. I came up with a plot and wanted peoples' opinions on it. I also need some help with a problem at the end.
If you haven't seen PotC III, you probably won't want to read this. It's not directly about the movie, but there are spoilers if you haven't seen it yet. Just skip until you see the big bold THE END sign.

Plot:

Barbossa's ghost is out to get Capt. Jack Sparrow, and he has the makings of his own fleet: the Interceptor II (stolen from His Majesty's Royal Fleet) and a pact with the Flying Dutchman. He offers Davy Jones Jack Sparrow in return for 5 men from the Flying Dutchman's crew. ("Jack is, after all, worth 100 souls, as you yourself said.") He receives the 5 men, including Wyvern and Bootstrap Bill Turner. Barbossa is marked with the black spot until he delivers Jack, to insure that his promise will be made good, and he's threatened with the kraken. Barbossa also agrees to return Davy Jones' heart to him.
Jack can't run forever: he must face his fears in the shape of Barbossa's ghost. Meanwhile Will's marriage is again interrupted by Jack, who comes to demand Will's help in return for freeing his father (Bootstrap Bill). When Norrington comes to Gov. Swann and says he would like to help by dissuading Will from helping Jack, Swann accepts. Then Elizabeth discovers what her father has done and runs away to save Will from Norrington.
Jack wants to vanquish Barbossa's ghost and kill Davy Jones, and when Will helps only under the condition that Jack return's the Interceptor II, Jack agrees, keeping in his mind that he'll barter the ship back to Becket in return for Jones' heart. (Jack will then have killed Barbossa and Davy Jones, and he will be free). He would also like the Pearl back if possible.
Will wants to free his father and marry Elizabeth, along with returning the Interceptor II to the Navy. He tells Jack that he'll help him in return for his father, but only if Jack returns the Interceptor II.
Norrington wants to kill Will and Jack. He is now commander of the Dauntless and has naval authority from Becket to do so.
Barbossa wants to kill Jack. If possible, he also wants to double-cross Davy Jones and become the "Immortal Captain of the Flying Dutchman." He has his monkey.
Elizabeth wants to marry Will, but first she has to save him from Norrington. She also wants to help Will in any way possible.
Gov. Swann wants to keep Elizabeth out of harm, and to dissuade Will from helping Jack.
Becket wants to kill Will and Jack.


Becket commissions Norrington to kill Captain Jack Sparrow and capture Will Turner dead or alive, but devises his own scheme when Jack shows up at his front door with the Interceptor II looking for the heart of Davy Jones. He decides to capture Jack on his way out, but unfortunately for Becket Jack sends a decoy: Will, dressed as Jack. Will escapes with the heart of Davy Jones, but without a ship. He lies and tells Jack that he lost the heart, for he intends to trade it to Barbossa in return for his father. Barbossa won't break his pact with Jones (or kill him) until he's killed Jack, and he asks Will to help him. Will refuses, so Barbossa takes him as prisoner, but Will won't reveal where the heart is. In truth, he gave it to Elizabeth in Port Royal for safekeeping. When Jack shows up on the Black Pearl (after visiting Tia Dalma) to kill Barbossa, he brings Elizabeth along as a hostage, because he learned from Norrington that Will had lied. Jack doesn't know that Elizabeth has the heart. Norrington failed to take Jack so he was decommissioned. Will takes the heart back from Elizabeth, and tells Jack he'll give him the heart if Jack will let Elizabeth go and abide by the former terms (i.e. Interceptor II is already returned, but Jack must free Will's father). Jack agrees. Will won't surrender the heart until he has his father back, but Jack needs the heart in order to barter for the father. He explains this and Will trusts him (never trust a pirate).
Tia Dalma has given Jack Barbossa's heart, which Jack must stab in order to kill Barbossa. Nobody knows this yet except Jack and Tia Dalma. She gave him Barbossa's heart and raised the Black Pearl from the depths in return for Jack ridding the world of Davy Jones. Jack tells Barbossa that he'll give him Davy Jones' heart in return for Bootstrap, but he gives him his own (Barbossa's) heart instead. They fight, because Barbossa is supposed to bring Jack to Davy Jones. Jack lets Barbossa win (but not obviously). Barbossa brings Jack to the Flying Dutchman, intending to bring Jones' heart to him but to stab it before his eyes. He will then kill Jack, who is bound. Jack informs Will of the "change of hearts," and they form a plan. Will will sneak onto the Flying Dutchman, and will set Jack free in time for him to stab Jones' heart before Jones kills him. All goes according to plan: Barbossa stabs his own heart and dies; Will unbinds Jack and gives him Jones' heart, which he'd held onto to ensure that Jack's promise would be kept. Jack kills Jones, frees Will's father, and then starts his own fleet with the Flying Dutchman and the Black Pearl. Will and his father are re-united, and he and Elizabeth are married. Jack's new crew is comprised of Gibbs and the old crew, plus the Flying Dutchman crew.

Now the only thing left is…what to do with Norrington? That's my problem. See, I thought about giving him amnesia, but I thought that would be a little too cliché. I don't really want to do that. Plus, I thought killing him off would be a little mean. I mean, he's not quite deserving of death. At least I don't think so. The thought crossed my mind of marooning him, but either we'd need to do a sequel after that (which I don't think they want to) or that would be considered killing him. My dad said he should fall in love or Tia Dalma should cast a spell on him, or both. What do you guys think?

THE END

Okay, whoever didn't read that can come back now. Sorry, just needed an opinion. It's funny--the things I do that don't matter too much, I get really worried about other peoples' opinions. Like if I cook something or if I have an idea, as long as I'm not totally passionate about it, I ask like 5 times "what do you think of it?" But when it comes to my beliefs or stuff like dressing conservatively or something that I've made up my mind to do no matter what people think, then I'm really confidend and independent and don't worry about their opinions. I guess it's better that way than the other way around...

;)

I miss you peoples!!!!! It sounds to me like everyone is kind of getting tired or worn out or something. It's probably the weather and getting really involved in school stuff.

So, everyone tell me at least on interesting thing they've done in the past week. I miss hearing from all of you.

Namarie, melloni nin!
