Chapter 8: The Rescue
I was frightened again, and the familiar feeling of defeat came flooding back to me. How was I going to save Jack if I was trapped in this cage like some wild animal?
ZeldaQueen: Don't come to me for any sympathy. I'm holding the faint hope that the cannibals will eat you.
I glanced up upon hearing a man’s voice yelling out for Jack.
He had been captured by the warriors, and they wasted no time in throwing him in the cage with me. The man was fairly young, with a dark moustache, dark hair, and dark eyes. If I hadn’t seen Jack before him, I would’ve said he was handsome.
ZeldaQueen: Oh yes, because how on Earth could Orlando Bloom possibly compare to the god that is Johnny Depp?
He seemed stunned for a moment, but struggled to his feet, glancing around. When his eyes met mine, he quirked an eyebrow.
ZeldaQueen: Yes, Elizabeth's in jail, he's in a cage about to be eaten, and his only hope of saving himself and his fiancee is going to be killed by cannibals, yet he immediately concentrates on the Sue.
“Who are you?” he asked.
I looked him over. “I should be asking you the same question.”
“Will Turner,” he said hastily, looking around the cage again. “Yours?”
ZeldaQueen: You know, there were a good number of crew members that Will didn't know when he was plopped in the cage, in the movie. I could understand him wondering why there's one woman amongst the crew members (although, given Jack's reputation, he'd probably chalk it up to her being a prostitute), but now? While everyone is in danger of dying?
“Kate…Sparrow.”
He paused dead in his tracks, and stared at me, wide-eyed.
“Did you say your name was Kate Sparrow?”
“Yes.”
“You know Jack then.”
“Of course I know Jack,” I answered, rolling my eyes. “He’s my husband.”
The other members of the crew seemed as stunned as Will. Even Gibbs seemed shocked, but why I didn’t know. He had known of Jack’s proposal – had it not been for Scarlet, Jack and I would have been married by now at any rate. I didn’t count that as a total lie. Just a little white lie.
Just a little white lie!
ZeldaQueen: Right. I left that there to rant about that properly.
That there? Copied almost exactly from Salvation. You all know that part, where Victoria announces that she's Sweeney's wife, with the lame excuse that it's to hide who she is from the Judge? Well, this is even dumber. There is no reason for the Sue to do this. None. She has no reason to hide her identity, no reason to lie to Will, nothing! Her excuse is "oh, he asked me to marry him and we'd be married by now if it wasn't for that whore in Tortuga. I'll just say we are". It's actually kind of scary, in this case. I honestly get the feeling that she's only doing this to claim Jack as her own. That she's trying to shut Will out or one-up him in some way, by going "I'm the woman that Jack chose to marry, nyah!"
Oh, and that bit where she's surprised that Gibbs is shocked at this? That's just horrible. She broke up with him and spent the entire fic cursing his name, and now claims marriage to him for no reason at all and thinks that it's weird that a person would be bothered by that. Gethesemane, that would be like if I was engaged to and then broke up with my boyfriend, spent hours screaming that I never, ever wanted to see him again, and then started introducing myself as his wife, even though, as far as anyone knew, we weren't on good terms anymore.
Turner snapped himself out of his surprise. “Jack didn’t tell me he was married.”
ZeldaQueen: (Will) "And weren't we going to be eaten in a short while? Why am I bothering with this?"
I brushed a strand of hair from my face. “He doesn’t want his personal life known. God knows that he has a lot of enemies – he didn’t want them coming after me as well.”
ZeldaQueen: Because it's all about the Sue. *spits*
“How…how long have you been married?” he stammered.
“Ten years,” I answered him coolly. “Thanks to Barbossa, though, I haven’t seen him up until now.”
ZeldaQueen: Kind of makes her out as a terrible pirate and a wife then, if she apparently is unable to keep track of her husband and help him escape from an island. And no, she can't pretend that she isn't a pirate, she's apparently dressed like one, is chummy with the crew, and is in a cage, clearly caught up in one of Jack's schemes.
Will looked around again. “What’s going on?”
“You saw Jack, didn’t you?” I asked him.
“Yes.”
“And you saw that throne he was sitting on?”
He nodded.
“Then you’ve not missed out on too much.”
The blank look on his face, however, was a strong contradiction.
ZeldaQueen: Ah I see. The Sue got Will's lines, so that he can be an idiot and not get what's going on, and so she can condescendingly explain everything to him.
“The natives here made Jack their chief, but only as long as he acts accordingly.”
Will nodded in understanding. “So he’s a captive too, then.”
“It’s a bit worse than that, Turner,” I said softly. “They believe that he’s a god, trapped in human form. They intend to do Jack a favor by releasing him from his fleshy prison.”
ZeldaQueen: WE HEARD THIS IN THE LAST CHAPTER! GET ON WITH IT!
His eyebrow quirked, he asked, “What do you mean?”
“The natives are cannibals, Will. They’re going to eat him as part of their religion.”
Will frowned.
ZeldaQueen: (Will) "Well that's mildly irritating!"
“Where’s the rest of the crew?” he asked.
“You’re standing in them.”
ZeldaQueen: This had a lot more emotional impact in the movie, when we only heard it done once.
Will looked at the cages of bone and crossed his arms.
ZeldaQueen: Again, why is he so nonchalant?
“The feast begins at sunset,” I whispered. “His life will end when the drums silence.”
Will looked at me sympathetically. He opened his mouth to say something, but I glared at him.
“Save it.”
ZeldaQueen: SHUT UP, YOU LITTLE TWIT! DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU THAT WILL HAS PROBLEMS OF HIS OWN TO WORRY ABOUT, PROBLEMS THAT GO BEYOND THE MATTER OF "YOU" AND WAS ABOUT TO VOICE THAT? OH NO, BECAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU!!! GOD!!!
I was growing increasingly angry with every passing moment. Jack’s life was going to end, and I was not going to sit around and wait for them to kill him.
ZeldaQueen: She's only worried about Jack of course. Everyone else can go hang.
I turned to the men. “Swing your cages,” I ordered. “Get to the wall!”
They got the idea, for they rocked their cages to the side of the steep chasm wall and grabbed a nearby vine.
“Put your feet through and climb!” I shouted.
ZeldaQueen: THAT WAS WILL'S IDEA, YOU STUPID WHORE!
Pulling with all their might and grabbing, searching the wall for footholds, the crew slowly moved the two cages up the wall.
A guard passed and stared, clearly puzzled, at the tilted cages for several moments. He turned his back and continued walking.
I grew anxious, and I tried to cheat my cage up an inch.
This was a mistake, for the guard noticed. He screamed menacingly; he had sent out an alarm.
ZeldaQueen: You know, that makes you look really dumb. In canon, the sailor tried to sneak up some more because he and the others in that cage wanted to make it to the Pearl first and steal it.
The drums silenced.
“NO!” I yelled as I burst from the prison.
ZeldaQueen: Wait, what? HOW? Did the door mysteriously unlock itself while they were hanging from the cliff? Did they make it to the top? WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
Will and my other companions soon followed, and I dashed towards the village. They followed me, but I turned quickly.
“No, head off into the jungle,” I told them. “Distract the warriors while I go help Jack. And don’t even think about arguing unless you want to be the appetizer.”
ZeldaQueen: I...the arrogance is overwhelming. She pretty much said "Jack's mine to save and mine alone, you peons go keep the way clear, and don't even think about arguing!" What does her threat even mean, anyway? Is she saying she'll eat them unless they do as she says? Is she implying that she knows best what to do, and if they disobey her, they'll be caught and eaten? And how does that plan work? She's somehow going to save Jack from the countless natives in the village? I hate her.
Oh, and Jack saved himself, on his own, just fine, in canon.
The crew took off without protest, and I continued running towards the village. I ducked behind a bush, however, when Jack glanced up as the guard burst into the village, screaming madly and pointing at the jungle.
“After them!” I heard Jack order. “Don’t let them get away!”
ZeldaQueen: I think Gethesemane has a special straw she uses to suck the funny out of these scenes.
I could see through the leaves of the brush, and saw that the warriors hesitated. They seemed confused, and kept glancing at a flaming torch and then the jungle. They didn’t know whether to light the fire or run.
Run, you morons! Get the hell out of here!
ZeldaQueen: The anachronisms! *flails*
They finally ran off, tossing the torch to the ground.
Once they were gone, I rose from the bush. I saw that Jack was tied up like a turkey above a pit, his body secured to a spit with rope. The torch had rolled towards the pit, and a twig at the edge caught fire.
ZeldaQueen: The Sue instantly started to drool, her fetishes alight.
I hurried over to him, dodging the flames, and quickly untied him just as the entire pit burst into flames.
ZeldaQueen: Excuse me, but Jack Sparrow did a perfectly fine job rescuing himself. Go on, shoo!
I noticed a village boy watching us, and glared icily.
“You’re more than welcome to become the main course, you little brat.” I hissed.
ZeldaQueen: *sputters* Excuse me?
Gethesemane, that doesn't make me think that your Sue is tough, that makes me think she's a bitch! She just threatened to cook a child, a child who thought that he was going to help set his local deity free. Heck, he probably didn't capture or tie up Jack, yet she yells at him anyway. Bitch!
The boy looked at me with his head cocked, and then dashed off towards the jungle.
“Damn,” Jack muttered. “He’s gone to get the warriors.”
We glanced at each other when we heard a wild howl erupting from the jungle.
“Jack, honey,” I said sweetly, “remind me to cook that little monster well-done, will you?”
ZeldaQueen: Yes, how dare he raise the alarm after a demented woman threatens him?
Seriously Gethesemane, your self-insert has issues.
Jack grinned, but it quickly faltered as he grabbed my hand. We raced through the jungle, the hoard of warriors on our heels.
ZeldaQueen: ENOUGH OF THE LITERAL HAND-HOLDING!!!
When we reached the beach, we found that the crew had managed to make it safely to the ship.
ZeldaQueen: I bet that annoyed the Sue to no end. She probably would have loved it if they all died, so she could have had Jack all to herself.
The warriors were still on our heels, and we were running as fast as we possibly could to stay ahead.
ZeldaQueen: Pity, that. I was hoping they'd catch and eat you.
“Jack! Kate! Hurry!” Gibbs shouted.
“We are, dolt!” I shouted back.
ZeldaQueen: Okay, did Kate go on the rag between chapters or something?
As we raced across the shore, I saw a raggedy-looking dog growling at the warriors in an attempt to keep them at bay.
“Good doggy!” said Jack as we raced right by the poor mutt.
ZeldaQueen: And given that we had none of the set-up from the first movie, nor of Pintel and Raggetti showing up, that isn't nearly as funny as it was in the movie.
We sloshed through the surf to the haul of the Pearl, and Gibbs quickly hauled us aboard.
The dog was still barking, holding the warriors back as the ship made its way off of the shoal.
ZeldaQueen: (Dog) "Please, eat me! Anything to escape from the Sue!"
It seemed to sense it was in trouble, for it stopped barking, wagged its tail a few times, looked at the warriors – the very hungry warriors – then turned and ran like hell in the opposite direction.
ZeldaQueen: I wonder if Gethesemane actually bothered to watch the short scene at the end of the credits to understand this bit. Probably not. Johnny Depp wasn't in it.
Jack and I were safely at the helm by the time the ship reached the horizon. I stood in his arms, grateful to be with him again.
“I thought I lost you,” I whispered to him as he stroked my hair.
ZeldaQueen: (Jack) "I have no idea why, really. I was working on a splendid plan to save myself. I have saved myself without you around, you know. And I believe it was your idiocy that sounded the alarm and nearly got us eaten."
He looked down at me and flashed me his famous toothy grin. “You forgot one thing, love.”
“And what’s that?”
ZeldaQueen: "I'm a sporking agent," said Jack. Without another word, he jammed the implement into the Sue's shriveled heart.
“I’m Captain Jack Sparrow!”
ZeldaQueen: No you're not. You're an out of character being that vaguely resembles Jack Sparrow.
I smiled at him, and eased from his arms. I turned and walked a few steps, then turned round to face him again and ran to him, jumping into his arms. This sent us both collapsing to the deck, and we burst into a fit of laughter before finally ending it with a kiss.
ZeldaQueen: Is the plot actually going to start anytime soon?

I think I know why, though. Elizabeth has the gall to kiss and then indirectly kill her precious Johnny Sparrow. Will's only crime is that he's prettier than her xP
Threatening the kid, eh? I see traces of Victoria Harpy in there, she who slit the throat of a twelve-year old boy. Gethsemane's Sues are all sociopathic bitches. Kinda like Bella Swan.

Date: 2010-12-06 05:43 pm (UTC)I used to be quite active in the fandom. Pretty much every Sue!fic had her as some Scary Sue or a weepy damsel in distress who only lived to make the Sue look better in comparison. Whichever happened depended on if the fic centered around a Will, James or Jack Sue.
Also, Kate declaring Jack to be her husband pinged my 'creepy' vibe something fierce O-o. I've always said it: why can't Gethbitch just write RPF about her and Johnny Depp frolicking gothically in Paris?
