"Run, I'll hold them off!" Yelled Jedediah to the General beside him.

"I will not!"

Growling Jed shoved Octavius "Go, I need you to save the others!" With a kick to the ass Octavius ran off leaving the Cowboy to the colorless goons.

Jedediah was fuming when the colorless goons shoved him into a birdcage. Looking up to glare at one the men he started yelling.

"You let me outta this cage! I ain't no damn canary!"

The goon chuckled

"You sure are singing like one, little birdie"

As they entered the next room Jed couldn't help but roll his eyes at the sight of Kahmunrah on his so called throne consisting of a mound of gold and a lazy boy.

The goon holding his cage stepped forward addressing Kahmunrah.

"Found this one and his little buddy trying to escape, other one got away."

After a minute or two of the Pharaoh insulting the cowboy, everyone looked to the hall seeing Larry followed by several guards.

Jedediah watched silently as Larry and Kahmunrah exchanged words, suddenly all eyes turned to the small cowboy.

"….But he doesn't" Said the Pharaoh.

Jed gulped silently and watched as Kahmunrah opened his changed and reached in to grab him.

"Hey, don't you dare touch me! Stop it! I don't like being man handled!"

"Oh look he's having a tiny temper tantrum. Now come here, this won't hurt.."

Struggling in the mans hand suddenly Jed bit down on the man's finger, managing to draw a tiny bit of blood. It was enough though to surprise the giant Pharaoh and drop him.

The world seem to slowly fall around him and Jed took in a deep breath, he saw Larry struggle to run over but was held back. Instantly he thought of Octavius, thankful in a way that it was himself that got captured, himself that was now falling, thankful that the man he slowly began to adore and even love was safe.

White exploded beneath his eyes as he landed awkwardly on his right leg instantly feeling something snap under the pressure, screaming in pain Jedediah tumbled over face first into the floor.

His leg was on fire or so it felt like and he could only lay there clutching his bleeding forehead.

"Now look what you did, you made me drop you, naughty cowboy."

Kahmunrah bent over picking up the broken cowboy and squeezed him a little to roughly causing Jed to cry out, he could've sworn he felt something dislocate in his left shoulder.

"Jed!" Cried Larry, struggling even more so. "Stop it you're hurting him!"

"Oh I'm sorry" Replied the Pharaoh, smirking, all the while grabbing an hourglass and dropping Jedediah inside who let out another loud cry of pain.

"There, much better. Now you have one hour to figure out the combination or you'll little friend won't be around much longer. And by the looks of it I'd say, ohh maybe even less than so."

Jed slowly stood up on his left leg, his right leg useless, but the Cowboy merely grinned.

"Don't you worry 'bout me Gigantor… I can handle this crazy nut"

Nodding Larry quickly turned and ran off. The smile slowly left Jed's lips, replaced by a frown as he watched the sand fall from the small hole.

-About 45 minutes later-

Larry stood in the circle of Kahmunrah's bird like men. Clutching Jed's hour glass, he sighed and glanced down at the broken man.

"I'm sorry Jed.."

Jedediah shook his head and gave a forceful smile, the wound on his forehead continued to bleed and he was pretty sure his leg was bleeding as well.

"Don't worry about it…" Slowly Jed felt his conscious start to slip, the darkness becoming so welcoming compared to the pain he felt.
