Kidd's POV

'Fuuuuuuuuuuuucccckkkkkk, it feels like I've been hit with a pissing truck!!' I grabbed onto my head and groaned as I sat up with a very deep scowl of pain.

My eyes were still tightly closed as fuzzy memories of what happened slowly came flushing back to me in small bits and pieces, soon becoming more clear with every moment.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flashback via Kidd's memories~

"You two would do just perfect~" the deep baritone voice purred.

I growled as the feeling of immense danger filled my senses, something was definitely wrong here, and I didn't like it one bit, even my monster was feeling threatened, and that was never a good sign.

There was only a few guys left, but I suddenly got this dangerous vibe, like a massive predator just jumped into the fray, like the big guy just showed up now that all his goons are wiped out...

I looked from the corner of my eye and saw that Law had felt it too, he was on high alert as well withbhis wings in a position to boost him anywhere fast in case something unexpected happened.

Finally, the swordsman chopped down the last sucker as something shadowy and bulky landed in front of us from out of the sky, "shit!" Sand blew into my eyes from the giant impact and caused me to go temporarily blind as a small sandstorm formed around us, this was very bad, there was no way to fly out.

Whoever, or whatever the thing was that came down, decided to use the cheap tactic of attacking me while I was blinded from the sand, and kicked me in my unprotected gut before they gave me some heavy hits to the head.

I howled out in pain while I collapsed onto my back, just barely hearing Law call out my name, "Kidd-ya!!!" Dispite the pain I forcefully pried open my eyes only to see a blurry figure giving Law some brutal blows to the sides and hip.

'No one does that to my Law!!!' In a fit of immense anger I let myself release my demons and blank out while releasing a wild growl.

?????????'s POV

I looked back from where the inhuman snarl came from.

There in the back was the redheaded brute with eyes glowing deep red in a threatening manner, "DIE"

An involuntary shiver went down my spine as I grinned, 'oh yes these two will definitely be all I need' I internally mused.

Using my archeus ability, I commanded the surrounding sand to immobilize the two as I took care of the rest of these filthy intruders.

With a wicked smile I carefully choked the slim tanned male along with the brute as the others slowly lost consciousness, "That's right, just go to sleep"

Normal POV

The team tried with all their might to fight back against the living landscape, but it was all futile, the sand would just tighten itself until the point it all became one giant rock chunk.

It was then at that time everyone blanked out feeling dread as a cruel cackle rang out.

Flashback over~

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a rush of adrenaline Kidd flipped himself off the ground and quickly scanned the room as a panicked adrenaline filled his veins.

It was dark with no lights to brighten the dank and dreary room, the walls were made of what seemed to have been hard sandstone, it was completely dry like the desert outside, deeming they weren't taken out of the desert, with strays of sand covering the whole floor.

His stomach churned when he realized he was in a dark cell, ALONE...with no sight of Law in the room whatsoever the redhead went into full out panic mode.

He rushed to the bars of the cell and immediately started to bang on them while hollering at the top of his lungs.

"WHERE THE FLYING FUCK IS MY LAW YOU FUCKING SHITTY BASTARDS!?!?!? GET THE HELL OVER HERE SO I CAN RIP OFF YOUR PISSING DICKS AND SHOVE EM UP YER FUCKING ASSES!!!!!!!"

Let's just say Kidd had a very colorful mouth for the next three minutes, after hollering for what seemed hours (three minutes everyone) a door slowly creeked open revealing two-three figures.

One was a tall greasy looking man, he had a huge stitched up scar from the left to the right of his face making his eerily huge grin look even creepier.

His pitch black hair was slicked back making his thick fur coat puff up more...'who wears a coat in the desert!?' Kidd thought. (A/N: You're one to talk dumbass!)

The man's wings were made of weird softly glowing sand whisping all over the place, his mouth was occupied with a huge cigar like Smoker, and to top off his weird badass look, was a huge golden hook with the other hand covered in various precious jewels.

Next to him was a cloaked slim, yet well built figure with an unidentified frame covering their whole face, and the person being dragged in by the two was...

Law.

He was chained up and clearly badly beaten, along with the signs of him not fighting back.

"Mister Eustass I presume?" Kidd's eyes narrowed as he reluctantly pried his eyes away from Law's beaten form, making him feel worried that if he looked away for too long Law would instantly vanish and crumble into dust.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT!?" Kidd growled in distaste.

The man only chuckled and carelessly handed the beaten guardian over to the slim figure as he took another step forward, "I'm going to be using your assistance mister Eustass, the name's Crocodile, the head of baroque works~"
