Well. Here's the end. I know it's really short, but honestly, that's how all my endings are. I don't like to drabble on and on. I like to get right to the point.

For those who have been there since the very beginning. Special Thanks to: Deadpoolhulk, Kairi, Aqua Girl 007, and Dakukira.

"Jack!" Elizabeth cried, and she ran over to the injured captain. She got down on her knees and took his hand. Jack was a friend of hers. He couldn't die! He had just saved them from Davy Jones; he had just saved Yugi from a deadly bullet. He couldn't die. Not now, not here. She looked up at the men with pleading eyes. "Please," she begged them, "there has to be something we can do for him!"

They all hung their heads. Nobody have any idea on how to save the captain of the Black Pearl. She shook her head in denial as hot tears ran down her face. She wouldn't allow herself to just sit there and watch him die. She had to do something. She looked down at him and saw that he had a hand covering his wound. She pulled his hand away and noticed sullenly that Jack did not fight back. She saw the hole in his body. She watched as the blood leaked from it like a faucet. She whimpered like an injured animal. She didn't want anyone to die else to die. Hadn't enough people died already for the sake of this 'adventure'?

Will pulled his bandana over his eyes in respect, and also to cover his own eyes. He was too proud to allow anyone to see his tears. His sniffled. Jack was his best friend, and here he was on his death bed, and there was nothing he could do. He stuffed his hands into his pockets and felt his finger touch cool glass. Will froze as Tia Dalma's words echoed in his head.

"It is for Jack, because I'm sure he's going to get himself into fatal trouble eventually."

'She had known.' Will thought hastily. He pulled the vile out of his pocket and pulled the bandana from over his eyes. He stared at the black, paste-like fluid that sat inside it for a minute before he ran over to Jack, motioning for Elizabeth to get out of the way. Elizabeth was confused but did as she was told. Will struggled to unscrew the cap quickly.

"What is that, Jack?" Yami asked, the worry in his voice was evident. He was worried for Jack's safety too, but he had no idea what Will was thinking, or what it was that he had in his hands right now.

"It's a tonic." Will spat out hastily, annoyed at everyone talking to him. He wanted to save Jack as fast as he could. "Tia gave it to me." Giving up on opening it up with his hands, Will bit the cap with his teeth and pulled hard. When he heard the popping of the cork, he thanked God. He discarded the rubber cork and stuck the neck of the vile between Jack's lips and he tilted it back.

They all watched as the black goo ran down the bottle and into Jack's mouth. Once he had fully emptied it, Will pulled back the bottle and watched, hoping and praying with all his heart that it would work. He had been planning on asking Jack to be his best man for his wedding, once they had killed Davy Jones. He couldn't die. Will cared about him like a brother; he would be devastated if Jack died. Everything was silent and the suspense sunk it. They all watched Jack like hawks, holding their breaths. No one said anything, or even dared to move. Then-

Jack coughed and turned over onto his side. He vomited up the black tonic Will had just fed him and turned back over onto his back, clenching his eyes shut. He groaned deeply "Why does my mouth taste like swamp water?" He asked weakly, opening his eyes.

Everybody breathed in a deep sigh of relief. Jack was going to be okay.

"Jack!" Will exclaimed, not bothering to conceal the smile that had spread over his face. "Jack, you're okay!"

Jack smacked his lips together and dry heaved a little. "I wouldn't say that, lad. I have this awful taste in my mouth."

"Is there anything I can get you?" Will asked eagerly. He wanted to help Jack; he owed this man his life and Elizabeth's.

"Fetch me some rum, lad. I'm sure Jones had some stashed around here somewhere."

Jack was already back to his old self. Will smiled. "Sure thing, Jack." He stood up and went to search for Jack's rum.

-A Few Hours Later-

Whatever what was is that tonic Tia had given Will had done wonders. After being shot in his stomach, Jack was now standing up straight and tall, walking around as though nothing had happened. He would grip his wound every now and then, where the makeshift bandage was rubbing, but other than that, he was fine. Will had torn off the sleeve of his shirt and was able to stretch it out enough to warp around Jack's stomach.

Sharkman, the new captain of the Flying Dutchman, had allowed them to stay on the ship long enough for them to collect themselves. He had decided that the body of Davy Jones be tossed into the sea, and so it was. It was now at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, where the fish and algae were now feasting on the corpse.

Yugi and Yami were standing by the railing of the boat together.

"I thought you were dead." Yugi whispered dully. He still couldn't believe that Yami was standing beside him, Davy Jones was dead, and his imprisonment on this ghost ship was now over. The emotional turmoil and stress was too much for Yugi. He had cried everything he had in him. Now, all he had was the numbness left over.

"I had reason to believe the same." Yami replied.

"I spoke with them." Yugi blurted out, not thinking through what he had just said. Seeing the shock and pain in Yami's eyes and the effect of the words landed, Yugi regretted it.

"What did they say?"

"They told me that…It wasn't my fault. What happened. They told me it was fate, and that I needed to stop focusing on them so much so that I could focus on myself, in my time of need."

"Do you believe them? Do you believe that you are guiltless?"

Yugi hesitated for a moment. "I do. And when Bakura died…It was like the Universe was in balance again. He paid for what he had done, and now I can stop feeling sorry for myself and them. They've been avenged."

Yami smiled. "Fate has a way of evening things out."

Yugi stared at the water and watched as the waves hit the boat. He could imagine Jones' dead face, rotting away at the mercy of the life under the seal. "Yeah. It does."

Will and Elizabeth were standing on the opposite side of the boat, leaning against the railing. She had her head on his shoulder, crying as she told her story.

"So Beckett was on this ship, too?" Will asked, trying to understand the story she was telling him.

Elizabeth let out a pained sob and nodded. "He sacrificed himself for us! He died for us."

Will rubbed her back affectionately. "Then I owe him my life, for he saved my love."

Elizabeth smiled. "Will?"

"Yes?"

"I want a simple wedding. I don't care where it happens anymore. This adventure has taught me how precious and fragile life is, and I've learned that it doesn't matter about how extravagant an event is. All that matters is the people there."

"Next time we port, then. We can marry there. I don't care if it is Paris, or if it is in the middle of the bayou. As long as I get to spend the rest of my life with you, nothing else matters."

They turned to each other and kissed, for the first time ever, it felt like. It was as though they had just met and were now experiencing their first kiss. It was magic.

They stood on the Black Pearl and waved good-bye to Sharkman. They owed him everything. Because of him, Davy Jones was dead and none of them had to become slave to the Flying Dutchman. He saved them. As the ship began to be carried off by the waters, Yugi and Yami had to make an important decision. Where would they go? Now that Bakura was dead, it was safe for them to return to Domino City, but what was left there for them? They had nobody there for them to return too, and they couldn't go back after a group of people they were connected too had burned. Yugi would be a suspect, and Yami would have to stay locked up somewhere, because only the gang and Yugi's grandfather, along with the Isthars, knew of his existence.

"Just stay with us." Elizabeth pleaded. "You guys are like family now."

"We wouldn't want to impose." Yugi said sheepishly.

"We've just spent the last few months chasing after you guys." Will said. "We are not letting you go so easily."

"So…You want us to stay?" Yami asked quietly. He was having a hard time believing his ears. He was quite sure that while Will had a mutual respect for him, he did not like him in the least. It didn't seem likely that he agree, much less want, them to stay on the Black Pearl.

"As she said: We're family."

"Well…What does Jack think?"

All eyes turned to the captain who was standing at the helm, right above the. He grinned down at them and took a large swig of his rum. "Yo ho, me hearties, yo ho!"

Kairi: You thought I'd kill Jack. Shame on you. He's too funny to kill off!

WarriorCelt: Don't worry; I would never kill of little Jackie! He's the funniest character in the entire series! And thank you for the compliment; it just felt anti-climactic to me. But, I'm glad it was suspenseful for you!

Aqua Girl 007: Glad I surprised you!

Deadpoolhulk: That's the longest review you have written. Yeah, Jack and Jones couldn't have done a children's card games! They didn't have children's trading cards! Thanks for screaming at me via the computer. A lot people told me the same thing about last chapter. Glad you liked it!

Dakukira: Really? I think I do an okay job with Yugi and Yami, but I thought I did a really bad job with Jack. Jack's really complicated. He's goofy and sarcastic and serious all at once! Well, I hoped you enjoyed the ending, even if it was short.
