Battle of Isla Cruces

The Battle of the Isla Cruces was conflict between members of the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman during |Jack Sparrow's attempt to steal the [[Dead Man's Chest.

Finding the Chest
Jack Sparrow and the Black Pearl arrived at the Isla Cruces. Jack was accompanied by Pintel, Ragetti, Elizabeth Swann, and James Norrington. When the Black Pearl first arrived, Jack's black spot reappeared on his hand, calling the Kraken.

Pintel and Ragetti stayed behind to watch the longboat, due to the tides coming in. Sparrow, Swann, and Norrington headed off to find the Dead Man's Chest will Elizabeth using Jack Sparrow's compass. The chest was located and dug up from the beach.



Davy Jones arrived on the Flying Dutchman near the Isla Cruces, and sent his crew to go fetch the Dead Man's Chest, since he could not step on land until the end of the decade. Pintel and Ragetti witnessed the Flying Dutchman submerge itself underwater, and the two went off to tell Jack.

Betrayals
With the chest dug up, Sparrow, Swann, and Norrington put their ears to the chest to see if the chest was really real. They heard Davy Jone's heart beat within the chest. Norrington couldn't believe it, who thought Jack was a lier. Will Turner showed up on the beach shore, claiming Norrington had good reason.

Will revealed to Elizabeth that it was Jack who got Will stuck on the Flying Dutchman, and explained to everyone that his |father still lives. Will then pulled the key to the chest out, which he had stolen from Davy Jones while Jones was sleeping. As will was getting ready to stab the heart, Sparrow pulled his sword out and threatened Will. If Jones was slain, no one could call off the Kraken. Will then stole Elizabeth's sword, and told Jack he was going to free his father by stabbing the heart. Norrington then pulled out his sword, claiming that if he took the heart to the East India Trading Company, he would get his life back. Norrington then threw the first swing at Jack.



The three pirates then began a duel on the beaches, with Elizabeth cursing them for being pirates. Pintel and Ragetti showed up, and stole the chest and ran off into the island's jungle.

Sparrow, Turner, and Norrington ended up in an abandoned town dueling. Maccus and more members of the Flying Dutchman's crew showed up at the beaches. Will set off a church bell, which acted as a beacon to the members of the Flying Dutchman.

Jack managed to steal the key, and began to set off to the chest. But Norrington and Turner accidentally broke an old water mill off of a building, sending the wheel down the jungle floor, the three pirates dueling within it.

The Flying Dutchman's Crew Attacks
Elizabeth confronted Pintel and Ragetti in the jungle, but realized she didn't have a sword, when they did. When they were about to have there way with her, the wheel with Jack, Will, and Norrington rolled by, stalling Pintel and Ragetti. Just when they got closer to her, the crew of the Flying Dutchman attacked, and Elizabeth, Pintel, and Ragetti managed to make use of only two swords to hold the crew off. During the battle, Pintel and Ragetti drop the chest, and the chest is stolen by Clanker.



Jack manages to escape the wheel, and lands next to fallen coconuts. Sparrow sees Clanker running off with the chest, and Sparrow knocks Clanker's head off by throwing a coconut. Jack then opens the Dead Man's Chest and steals the heart before Elizabeth, Pintel, and Ragetti show up.



Choosing A Destiny
Jack runs to the longboat, and puts Davy Jones' heart into the Jar of Dirt for safe keeping, but is then attacked by Koleniko. Jack duels Koleniko with one of the ships ores. Elizabeth, Pintel, and Ragetti arrive at the longboat with even more of the Dutchman's crew chasing them.

The wheel Will and Norrington have been dueling on finally comes to a halt at the shoreline. The two then decide to help in the battle. However, Norrington goes over to the longboat when everyone is preoccupied. Norrington then steals the heart of Davy Jones out of the Jar of Dirt and conceals it about his person.

Pintel and Ragetti try to make a run for it with the long boat, but are then stopped by Will. They reach for their swords, but then they realize Elizabeth is using both of them. Will then notices Jack has done something with the heart, and Jack smacks will across the face with the ore, knocking him unconscious.

Norrington takes the Dead Man's Chest and runs off with it back into the jungle. Norrington trips and falls, and is confronted by Clanker, who has found his head. Norrington gives up the chest and runs for it. The partially successful crew of the Dutchman head back to their ship. Jack, however, is confident that since he has the heart, he can stop Davy Jones and the Kraken.

Skirmish off of the Isla Cruces
The Black Pearl is confronted by the Flying Dutchman and a chase begins. The Pearl manages to evade the Dutchman, but Davy Jones calls the Kraken to take down the Pearl. After two successful defenses of the Black Pearl from the Kraken, Jack gives the orders to abandon ship. However, Elizabeth chains him to the mast. Jack manages to free himself, but it is too late. The Kraken drags the Black Pearl along with its Captain to Davy Jones' Locker
