zelda_queenZeldaQueen: Right. We've ignored Kate for too long. Time to spork some more

Chapter 3
Katherine
At that moment, a wave of soldiers burst into the bath house; immediately, a barrage of fire ensued, exchanged by both sides.
ZeldaQueen: "GET THE SUE!" roared the sporking captain. Within minutes, Kate had a projectile spork lodged in her chest, causing her to crumble to dust. Canon quickly continued as normal
Uncle Hector and I grabbed swords and pistols, and opened fire. The soldiers swarmed, shooting many of the pirates and even the women indiscriminately.
ZeldaQueen: Considering that you suggest to Jack that the two of you could murder a native child in the last book, you're a fine one to take the moral high ground there
I was able to dodge one bullet when a soldier fired, and I lunged, drawing my sword across his throat and thrust it into his chest before rapidly withdrawing it.
ZeldaQueen: I that it was Jack who did the withdrawing.
I'm very sorry
Uncle Hector and I hurried out of the bath house and onto the street; Will and Elizabeth, armed with cutlasses and pistols, attacked.
ZeldaQueen: Wait, hold it, Will and Elizabeth are here? WHAT? Where the fuck where they??? Why wasn't Will sent ahead to steal the maps? Didn't you think he could do that? Why weren't they hiding under the floor with everyone else, ready to send up the weapons? I don't even!
Bah. They both made appearances. Take two drinks \~/ \~/
I was soon engaged in another battle; I blocked the soldier’s blows and returned my own with such ferocity that it surprised me.
ZeldaQueen: There we have it. She's so useless, it surprises her when she does something productive
The blood was beginning to run down the length of the blade and onto my hand, yet I paid it no heed as I fought my way through the wave of troops.
ZeldaQueen: *bored* My oh my, you must have stabbed quite a few folks then, or else you've been ramming the blade all the way through people, up to the hilt. Considering that we only hear about you killing two soldiers, that must be it. You've been putzing around, shoving your sword way too far into the bodies. You dumbass
We soon reached the shipyard, with a few of Sao Feng’s surviving men hurrying behind us. They pointed to a small sloop, and we hurried aboard, taking final shots at the pursuing troops. They fell back, the streets and canals glistening with the dark crimson of blood in the moonlight.
ZeldaQueen: And they just let them go? Didn't Sao Feng send his men with them? Or is this another part I can't remember too well?
We soon set sail, with Uncle Hector at the wheel. I walked up to the helm and looked at him.
ZeldaQueen: (Sue) "Dance for me, monkey"
“How are we going to find Jack? We don’t have the charts,” I said softly.
ZeldaQueen: (Barbossa) "We'll finish the Powerpoint presentation without them"
“Don’t we?”
He withdrew a scroll from his coat and held it for me to see. He winked.
“Stole it when Sao Feng was busy,” he said as he unrolled the scroll.
ZeldaQueen: Busy doing what? Details don't hurt you, Gethesemane. You should be friends with them!
I grinned. “Bloody pirate.”
ZeldaQueen: You know, that phrase seems to be Gethesemane's equivalent to "Sin Thine Ass Off"
And seeing as that entire scene was Kate stealing Elizabeth's fight, take a drink \~/
Davy Jones
ZeldaQueen: Oh God, I hate this emo bastard.
Oh, and point of view switch. Take a drink \~/
I sat silently before the organ once again, listening to the haunting, painful melody of Sirena’s locket. I withdrew it, looking at it, feeling the familiar burn behind my eyes.
ZeldaQueen: Yep, Gethesemane is wasting no time in beating us over the head with SIRENA AND SIRENA'S LOCKET AND HER MELODY AND DAVY JONES JUST LUUUURVES HER SOOOO MUCH!
Great, now I'm angry. *huffs*
What would have happened if I had not made that bargain with Calypso? She wouldn’t have murdered Sirena; Jacob, Sirena, and I would have been safe from her jealousy. And yet it was my burden to bear; it had been my fault that Sirena and Jacob had died.
ZeldaQueen: *holds head* And she doesn't waste any time in killing off canon Calypso's awesomeness.
Question, Gethesemane - Why didn't Jones bring this up in the last fic, hmm? He said that his little spawn fell into the ocean during a storm and his wife was shot in the stomach by...someone. There's no allusion to any bargain at all. Oh wait, I know why that is! Because you didn't know about Calypso being Jones' canon love interest, so you didn't bother! Silly me!
And do you mean to tell me that Calypso, the goddess of the ocean who describes being separated from the sea as "torture", took human form just to shoot Sirena? Why not drown her, like the little brat? Or is the implication that Calypso "killed" Sirena by driving her to suicide? Because if that's the case, then it's still suicide on Sirena's case, and not Calypso's
A commotion sounded up on deck. Cursing, I placed the locket on the organ and stormed outside. Lord Cutler Beckett had come aboard.
ZeldaQueen: (Beckett) *bored* "Captain Jones, I have received word that you are out of character. Seeing as the Suethor is doing her best to remove me from the plot, I felt it best to put an end to these shenanigans as early as possible"
“Just leave!” I hissed, looking at his soldiers. “All of you!”
“Now, Captain,” said Beckett calmly, “I simply came to discuss something with you. It may be of some interest.”
“I have no interest in what you have to say.”
ZeldaQueen: (Jones) "All anyone talks to me about is that fucking Mary Sue, because that's all the Suethor wants me to think about! Go on, leave, and take whatever idiot story about her you have with you!"
I turned and made to walk back into the stateroom, but he stopped me.
“It has to do with a certain Katherine Sparrow.”
ZeldaQueen: Bam, who called it?
I stopped, frozen. Katherine?
ZeldaQueen: Durr?
“What makes you think I’m interested in what happens to her?” I demanded.
ZeldaQueen: Because she's the Mary Sue and everyone is interested in what happens to her. Strange thing, really
“Shall I discuss this with you privately,” asked Beckett as he came to my side, “or make it known what you really feel for her?”
ZeldaQueen: *raises hand* Another question, Gethesemane? How the fuck does Beckett know about Jones' feelings for Kate? In-universe, the entire thing is supposed to be totally hush-hush. Even in the movie, Beckett didn't know anything about Jones' relationship with Calypso. He only kept the heart because he knew that stabbing the heart killed Jones. And of course he knew that because that much is just common sense!
You gonna explain that at all, Gethesemane? You aren't? Didn't think so.
Take a drink though. This is all just the plot being rewritten to be All About Kate \~/
I silently nodded in submission. We made our way into the stateroom, where I closed the door and turned to him.
“What about Katherine?”
ZeldaQueen: She's a Sue who has a firm grip on your barnacle-ridden testicles, Jones. Haven't you figured that out by now?
...Remembering what's coming up, I now regret saying that
“She was last spotted in Singapore,” replied Beckett. “A little bird told me she had stolen the charts to get to the Locker.”
ZeldaQueen: No she didn't, Barbossa did! How do they already know about the theft, anyway? They just escaped from Singapore!
“What?”
I grew suddenly concerned; no one returned from the Locker alive.
ZeldaQueen: All the better! I hope the little bitch roasts in there!
“She’s going to get her husband back, no doubt,” said Beckett. He looked at me. “The Brethren Court is gathering once again, Jones. And Katherine is one of the nine pirate lords, as is Jack.”
ZeldaQueen: *slaps forehead* Yes, Kate is one of the nine pirate lords. Of course. Was anyone expecting any different?
Ten guesses as to which of the nine canon pirate lords winds up getting the shaft! I know it comes up later, but take a drink for Kate stealing this as well \~/
“She’s the daughter of Blackbeard. Of course she inherited her father’s position,” I said, masking my concern with apathy. "She was guaranteed a position with the Brethren the moment of her birth."
ZeldaQueen: Without having done anything? Now granted, I'm a little sketchy on how pirates operate, but I would imagine that they wouldn't appoint one a position with the Brethren until they're certain that the kid actually would take up piracy. I mean, what if Kate decided to be an honest merchant?
“Yet that’s not all, is it?” he said.
“What are you talking about?”
“Jones, you have become a bit unruly in terms of doing as I command. I tell you to fire upon those ships so that we have someone to interrogate; interrogation is quite futile if the suspect is dead.”
ZeldaQueen: I don't get that at all. What?
“This ship sails as its captain commands.”
“And the captain sails it as he is commanded!”
ZeldaQueen: And she sells sea shells by the sea shore!
I glared at him, yet said nothing. He had taken away what little freedom I had left, and this angered me.
ZeldaQueen: Gethesemane. Dear. Show, don't tell. Davy Jones isn't the Robot Devil, don't just state his emotions
“If you don’t begin doing as I tell you, Katherine will be hanged for piracy, and you will be the one to hang her. You’re no stranger to death.”
ZeldaQueen: All I can wonder is how Davy Jones can tie a noose when one of his hands is a giant crab's claw
“I won’t kill Katherine.”
“Why? Because you love her?”
ZeldaQueen: (Jones) "No, because the Suethor won't let me"
I froze and looked at him. He smiled, a flash of evil behind the façade. He then made his way to the door and walked out onto the deck.
ZeldaQueen: (Beckett) "Well, either Captain Jones will kill the Sue, or we will. Either way, the fandom wins"
