There Sora and the rest of us were, enjoying the pirate life aboard our modest raft, when we suddenly began to run out of sea! We plummeted over a precipice and into the waiting abyss.
We found ourselves stranded in an endless, white desert--and strangely enough, along came the Black Pearl, coasting somehow atop the sands. Imagine our surprise when we saw its captain, out friend Jack Sparrow, chasing after it on foot. Soon, we too were pursuing the runaway ship.
We reached a because where we found Jack's friends waiting--some of them familiar faces. All had come to rescue Jack for Davy Jones' Locker, to which he'd been banish after getting devoured by the Kraken.

Up in the world of the living, Cuter Beckett had acquired the chest had acquired the chest containing Davy, Jones' heart. He was using to manipulate Jones and his ship, the Flying Dutchman, and seize control of the whole ocean.
Aboard the Pearl, Tia Dalma explained that Jack, too, coveted the chest, to escape his unpaid debt to Jones.
Having only just escaped from Davy Jones' Locker, we were beset by a swarm of flying Heartless. Sora fell into the sea while fighting them off, and Donald and Goofy dove in after him. We washed up on a lonely island short, but the Black Pearl was long gone. The only friend we found was Jack Sparrow, who insisted we set out in search of a new ship.

Deep beyond an undersea grotto, we discovered a magnificent ship cached away. Under Jack's guidance, Sora took to the seas once more, but it wasn't long before we were approached by a ship captained by Luxord of Organization XIII.

Luxord invoked the right of parley, and after some brief negotiations with Jack, the two agreed to a race. The stakes: information about a certain "black box."
Our crew won the race, but Luxord tricked Jack into revealing the box's location just the same. Satisfied, the swindler sailed off after the Flying Dutchman, and though Sora was eager to give chase, the ship was badly damaged, so we made for Port Royal to see to repairs instead.

The repairs, if you'll believe it, involved gathering strange, white crabs with an even stranger power. It appeared the ship we'd been sailing was an enchanted one, and that wasn't the end of the surprises.

When the ship was repaired, Jack asked Sora what he sought to do with it. When Sora replied, "to explore the seas, free as the wind," Jack acknowledged him as a true pirate captain, then disappeared. It turned out the Jack we'd been traveling with was just another phantasm sent by the goddess of the sea.
Sora was free, to sail wherever he pleased. But he also knew the real Jack and his friends ha a terrible battle ahead of them, so we set a course for Shipwreck Cove to offer what aid we could.
Despite Luxord's interference, we managed to reach the Black Pearl before it was too late. Our pirate friends were preparing for one last stand against Beckett. We decided to make our way to the Flying Dutchman and help Jack in his fight against Davy Jones.

The battle was won, but not without sacrifice. To save Will's life, Jack had him run a sword through Davy Jones' heart. With that, WIll became the Flying Dutchman's new captain, cursed to be apart from his love, Elizabeth, for ten years at a time.

We took comfort in the belief that even one day in a decade is still enough time for two hearts to remain connected, and then departed the seas to return to our greater mission.
