The crafty little monkey stealing the tablet, running into Akmenrah's big bad brother, being captured and now Gigantor was out there with the tablet being chased was something Jed didn't quite expect.

Glancing over to Octavius, who was sitting against a crate holding his stomach in pain, he walked over and knelt down covering his lovers hands with his own.

"You ok there partner?"

Biting his lip hard the older man nodded.

"Seems to be.. a little to much for the little one, but I have to say I'm quite enjoying the action... Ugh I can not stand listening to that man for one more second"

Jed nodded in agreement as he listened to General Cluster go on about his hair being currency.

"I can't stand it either partner, that man wouldn't know the difference between a flapjack or a fly swatter, an we're sitting here while Gigantor is out there risking his life for us, we need to get him some help"

Octavius watched Jedediah with a confused look on his face.

"What's a flapjack?" Jed couldn't help but smirk "It's like a biscuit or a scone..." Pulling out his rope Jed started walking to the hole in the crate "Ok I'm going to go and get some help, you stay here"

The General quickly stood up and followed.

"No I'm coming with you and before you protest I'll have you know I'm quite capable of taking care of myself. I am a Roman General and I will not sit back and idly waste my time listening to this buffoon"

Stomping his foot the Cowboy glared down the other man but let out a sigh, he knew Octavius wouldn't give in, him and his damn roman melodrama.

"Fine, but you stay close, I ain't lettin' nothing happen to you."

"Nor will I let anything happen to you"

They tried to land quietly outside of the crate but unfortunately the black and white guards had noticed them, Jed turned to Octavius and tried to get him to run.

"No Jedediah you run, I can't make it far like this, I'll be fine, go get backup!"

Looking defeated Jed knew this was true.

"Don't you let nothing bad happen I will come and save you" Giving Octavius a chaste kiss the cowboy quickly ran off before the second guard could grab him.

"Honestly.. A birdcage? Do you know who I am? I am Octavius leader of the Roman empire"

The guard growled in annoyance, the man was little but he sure had a mouth on him, as they entered the large room the man holding the cage walked over the man sitting on his makeshift throne.

"Two of these little guys tried to escape, we caught this little General but his friend got away"

"He's a General?" Kahmunrah grabbed the cage inspecting the tiny man closely "Aren't you a little... Fat for a General?"

Octavius snarled "How dare you call me such, you have no right to be questioning my figure? I don't care if you're some Pharaoh.." The General looked down trying to remember one of Jed's slang "Why don't you take a long walk off a short pier!"

The Pharaoh was quite surprised at that the little man outburst but soon started laughing.

"I-I'm sorry I just can't take you seriously, I mean look how adorable you are, a little Roman General with a sensitivity to his weight, I mean isn't that just cute"

Octavius was about to snap back but frowned and turned his back to the Pharaoh while shifting his cape that it covered his stomach, Kahmunrah thought he heard sniffling but was distracted when the French and armored soldiers led Larry into the room.

Octavius watched Kahmunrah walk over to Larry taking the tablet and placing it in his gateway, pressing several buttons and making a big show about his army Octavius couldn't help but smirk when nothing happened.

After Larry's taunting speech Kahmunrah turned and glared at Octavius "Well he doesn't" signaling for the guard to bring him over he opened the cage and reached in.

"No! Stop don't hurt him please!" Cried Larry as he struggled with the guards. Octavius tried dodging the mans grasp but fell to his knees clutching his stomach in pain as another Braxton kicked in.

"Shh, shh, I shan't hurt you..." Picking him up gently Kahmunrah grabbed the hourglass by his side opening it and dropping the General inside, Octavius cried out even louder as he painfully but thankfully landed on his back.

Larry struggled even more against the guards and glared at Kahmunrah.

"I said not to hurt him, get him out of that thing now!"

Smirking the Pharaoh walked over shoving the tablet into Larrys hand and shook the hourglass lightly.

"Go and bring me the combination within the hour or your little friend won't be breathing for much longer."

The night guard looked at Octavius with sorrow in his eyes.

"Just hold on, I'll get you out of there as soon as possible."

Octavius who had managed to pull himself into a sitting position smiled painfully at Larry.

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine" Larry nodded and quickly turned and ran off.

The Pharaoh looked to Octavius, who was taking deep breaths and clutching his stomach, and frowned. There was something definitely going on with the little man and he was going find out soon enough.
