The Universe's Mixer

Up is down. Elizabeth looked up at the sky. Certainly didn't look down. This wasn't going to work. She'd tried to keep herself from leaving the Pearl, but Jack wasn't around and she had no one to talk to. Plus, that egging feeling in the back of her head. She'd left the other Pirates without a King. Meaning Barbossa likely took over already and tried to bring back Calypso. But how without her piece of eight? Elizabeth tucked it under her white shirt as she finished putting on her jacket. Cutlass instead of the jian, Pistol tucked into her pants. Yes. These clothes were much more comfortable than the Chinese armor.

And Jack liked them.

No. That wasn't why.

She thought so at least.

Walking away from the Pearl was a bit more scary than she wanted to ever admit. But it was the only thing thus far that had been familiar to her, besides Jack of course. Where was Cotton, Gibbs, and the rest? Where was Will, Barbossa, Tia Dalma... Davy Jones for the love of sea salt! Walking off the pier and onto the street.. she supposed it was. Not cobble stone, but smoth. Smooth like marble but not. Elizabeth turned her head towards the Pearl one last time then strode off.

She had to find someone. There had to be a way back. She would have told Jack, had he been there, that she needed to get back. She had to kill Cutler Beckett. She had a father to avenge, a battle to win, and the rest of them to save didn't she? Turned a corner and.. What the hell was that thing?

Metal, lots of it. Glass? No eyes. It was a beast. A beast she'd never seen before. It was coming closer, closer.

She had to do something. It made a horrible noise.

Grrrr Grrrrrr Rev rev. Grrr grrr. HONK HONK.

She could see someone. See someone INSIDE of it. Taking a running leap she jumped onto the beast's face. Brandished her steel cutlass. "What manner of beast are you?!" The man inside of it seemed just as alarmed as she did. She had to save him.
