Skirmish off of the Isla Cruces

The Skirmish off of the Isla Cruces was a battle between the Black Pearl, the Flying Dutchman, and the Kraken.

After escaping from the Isla Cruces with Jack Sparrow believing he had Davy Jone's heart in possession, the Flying Dutchman came out of the sea and attacked the Black Pearl with cannon fire. Using the advantage of the wind, the Black Pearl was able to escape the Flying Dutchman.

Davy Jones called off the pursuit and ordered the Kraken to be summoned and destroy the Black Pearl.

The Kraken attached itself to the Black Pearl, but with |Will Turner knowledge of the Kraken's technique of attack, he ordered the crew to fire the cannons at the exact time, injuring the Kraken.

The crew prepared for another attack, and Jack Sparrow abandoned the ship on a longboat. Elizabeth Swann noticed Jack's departure, deeming him a coward, before the Kraken unleashed another attack, breaking through the sides of the ships, knocking the cannons about the lower decks and pulling crew members out of the lower decks.

Will Turner ordered the crew to gather all of the gun powder and rum into a net and pull it up to the top of the masts in an attempt to kill the Kraken. Elizabeth Swann was to use a musket to shoot the net and destroy it at the right time. The crew managed to raise it up half way to the masts, before the Kraken damaged the system that pulls the net up, causing the net to fall a few feet, and Will got his foot stuck.

Elizabeth was ordered to take the shot while Will was cutting at the rope with his knife. She was halted however, the Kraken grabbed her leg and was going to pull her out of the ship through the Pearl's cabin, the Elizabeth was saved by the timely arrival of Pintel and Ragetti with an axe, and chopped the Kraken's tentacle off.

Elizabeth was about to take the shot, but the musket had gotten up to the Pearl's helm, and as Elizabeth went to get it, Jack Sparrow had returned to the ship and took the shot himself, with Will escaping from the net just in time. The Kraken's tentacles were obliterated, but the Kraken wasn't killed.

Jack ordered the surviving crew, himself, Will, Elizabeth, Gibbs, Marty, Cotton, Cotton's parrot, Pintel, and Ragetti to abandon ship on Jack's longboat. Elizabeth however, realized the Kraken was after Jack and not the Pearl. Elizabeth distracted Jack by kissing him, and while she was doing that, she chained Jack to the Pearl's mast and left him to die. Elizabeth told the crew that Jack planned to stay behind to give them a chance.

Jack managed to free himself from the shackles, but not before the Kraken came back, its mouth at the top deck of the Pearl. Jack realized he couldn't escape this battle, so Jack pulled out his sword and charged at the Kraken. The Kraken then detained Jack and pulled the Black Pearl to Davy Jones' Locker, with its Captain onboard. The surviving crew of the Pearl watched the ship go down, along with their dear friend.

On the deck of the Flying Dutchman, Davy Jones declared Jack's debt settled. He then ordered the crew to open the Dead Man's Chest to see his heart, but it was gone, as it had been stolen by James Norrington on the Isla Cruces.

Jame's Norrington was picked up by an East India Trading Company ship, and was brought before Cutler Beckett. He presented the heart of Davy Jones to Beckett.

The crew of the Black Pearl retreated to Tia Dalma's Shack. She offered them comfort on the lost of the Pearl and their friend. Tia Dalma then proposed that Jack could be saved, but they would have to sail to World's End to find him. The entire crew said they would do anything to save Jack. Tia Dalma told them that if they were to go to World's End to save Jack and the Black Pearl, they would need a captain who knows those waters. Captain Hector Barbossa then entered the room, and asked what has happened to his ship.
