The Return of the Baron

In the heart of the south/eastern part of Europe, where civilization appears to be little, lies a mysterious & forbidden land. One that had not seen much human activity or interference for over hundreds of years. Because of this, it is a land of pure forests & evergreen. With large open lands & many forests, with rivers that cut through several hills, meadows & mountains. A pure, push & plentiful land of nature's purest design, as far as the eye can see. Such a land lies within a vast chain of mountains an rivers that lead as far as the Mediterranean sea. Yet even with all this vast beauty in the land, with all it's serene & peaceful environment, there is a forbidding sense in throughout this land. A feeling of such mystery. One that has remained here for centuries. A definite contrast of such beauty in this land.
For even though this very land is lush with untouched beauty, it was in this very land, hundreds of years ago, where a bloody battle was waged during the middle ages. This was once the sight of one of the greatest bloodsheds in the history in the middle ages. A great battle, waged by men who sought to rule over this land. The land that was ruled by a noble bloodline known to legend simply....As the Baron.
The bloodline has ruled these lands for hundreds of years. It has remained unconquered & untouched by outsiders, as the land it protected by the range of mountains and hardly ever mentioned or explored these days. It is uncertain if this land is even presented on any known map known to man. All except a few ancient maps made by men who first explored this region. Many battles have waged hear over the centuries. Many men who have sought to conquer this land have died here- yet despite so much bloodshed, the land has remained such an evergreen haven through the many years, rejuvenating itself after countless years of carnage... As if nothing ever happened.
But now, in the present day, a new sense of mystery & forbidden terror has swept this quiet land. & in the region of the mountains, such mysteries begin to deepen. For upon the horizon, high above in one of the mountain peeks & above the land, lies the structure of an ancient castle built long ago. Perhaps over five hundreds years. It is a tall, grand structure. Undoubtedly one of the largest & greatest castles made my human hands. It stands over eight stories tall with several towers surrounding the structures, including a protective wall that surrounds the castle interior. The only passage way by foot is through a long, stone made path & bridge that leads to the main gates. For this very castle, protected by the mountains in which it stands upon, has remained un-breached & un-conquered for centuries. For this ancient structure was, & still is, the fortress and home of "The Baron" of legends.
At first glance, this tall & ancient castle seems to be abandoned. Forgotten over the centuries & now left in ruins for all time to come.....But that is not so. The castle is far fro abandoned. For looks can be deceiving. For the castle is now a modern day strong hold for the worlds most feared organization. One who's name spreads terror world wide to all nations and all other organizations. For this very castle is one of the great strongholds of the villainous HYDRA, lead by the most evil man in all the century- The Red Skull. But this castle is also the main headquarters of one of the deadliest men alive & one of the greatest minds of the modern era. A man in which has turned this ancient castle into a stronghold of hidden & secret technology. A man who now holds the secrets of his bloodline within the very walls of the castle. The man who has officially been given the title of "The Baron".........The man named Baron Heinrich Zemo.
It had been hours since the events that had transpired in the region known to the Americans as the "Ponderosa." Hours after Baron Zemo & his forces had succeeded in their mission to round up as many dinosaur as they could. The bounty & capture was pleasing enough. Over twenty dinosaurs had been taken away & are now being transported via shuttle. For the moment the landscape remained quiet. A blanket of fog covered most of the land as the region began to enter the evening time. But the silence of the land was soon broken by the on coming sound of nearby jet-powered shuttles. In the skies, the shuttles had finally arrived in the air space of Baron Zemo's domain. Each one containing a few dinosaurs in which were captured from before. After a long flight, they had finally arrived. Following close behind the shuttles was a much larger one. A massive black shuttle, nearly sixty feet across, it was the very same shuttle in Inside the ship, the soldiers of the HYDRA forces were piloting the commands. Two of them were seated at the front part of the ships controls, while the other soldiers remained seated in the middle portion. But deep inside, further into the ship, lied the personal quarters of Baron Zemo himself. A large spaced room with both the flag with a HYDRA insignia & his own insignia of "The Baron." There, seated upon the master chair of the shuttle, was Zemo himself. A dangerous individual & a pure intellectual, indeed. Zemo was one of HYDRA's leading experts of the field of sciences, genetics & weapons development. Along with another close associate, Arnim Zola: HYDRA's top scientist. He had agreed to work alongside the organization. But only because he & HYDRA sought a common goal & nothing more. For this masked villain had his very own agenda. One in which he is now currently working on here, in his fortress. But now, the business of preparing his newly captured dinosaurs for arrival & preparing for containment must come first. As the large ship followed close behind the other shuttles. A last, they had finally arrived, hovering over the large castle & with each ship beginning to drop down & descend one by one. Zemo remained in his seat upon their descent. The screens before him on the monitors showed him the dinosaurs in their captivity. He kept a watchful eye on them, while planning what to do for each one & whether or not they could be useful for his experiments. At that moment, the Baron soon turned to a small button upon the arm of his chair. He pressed it, opening a com channel linked to the other shuttles & even other soldiers & personal servants inside the castle.
"Prepare the animals for containment immediately." he simply commanded with a sinister & commanding voice. A tone in which no servant would ever defy. From there, Zemo himself prepared for his arrival. He lifted himself up from his master chair & walked out of his quarters, entering the central roo of the ship where he was then greeted by his soldiers, who all halted & saluted to their superior with a show of arms.

Inside the shuttle that is Baron Heinrich Zemo as they land upon the doorways of Castle Zemo, the massive male Acrocanthosaurus atokensis that was captured in the Ponderosa, looked on with a deep, chest cavity growl, not wanting to be approached by the HYDRA agents, looking down at them with a sinister stare.

The large, black ship of Baron Zemo continued it's descent down towards the castle. Where a large landing space could soon be seen that Zemo himself made for his purposes. It was constructed a bit further away from the actual castle so that larger shuttles could come in. As the ship began it's descent, the landing space opened up with large hydraulics that opened & revealed a large, cavernous pit below. From there the shuttle continued it's descent further into the darkness, where the actual landing area was further down in the caverns. The cavern itself, over two hundred yards long, was widely spaced to fit any size shuttle & many different ships as well. Filled with vast technology Zemo himself had designed. From aircraft detection systems, satellite surveillance, & regional radar. Several of the HYDRA ships that accompanied the Baron had already landed & had since began taking the dinosaurs, preparing them for containment. Zemo's ship meanwhile, slowly began to land, as it's jet powered engines slowly made it hover but a few feet above the ground & soon, it finally landed.
Inside Zemo began to prepare for his exit, as the soldiers all stood to the sides in a single filed line, not uttering a word to their superior. Soon though, Zemo turned back to one of the monitors that he was passing by, which showed him the activity going on outside the shuttle. From there, he could see the soldiers preparing the dinosaurs to be contained in their cells & stations. But one screen in particular showed him the aggressive Acrocanthosaur. Who had now awakened & was becoming dangerous towards the men. But to Zemo, he had special plans for this dinosaur. The animals aggressive & powerful nature would make it a suitable pawn for the forces of HYDRA. "I want this animal contained & placed in one of my larger cells. Do whatever you must to contain it but I do not want to see a scratch upon it......I have plans for that one." he soon said to one of the guards nearby.
"Yes Heir Zemo." the soldier said back.

The soldier soon got a new order from their leader, to place the Acro in a special larger cll for it as he had specail plans for it. "Steady, men! He's a feisty one!" one said as the gates slowlly open. The massive predator growled & seemed like he was ready to book it as soon as the gates had fully open & try to escape! But he was unaware that Zemo was possiblly planned for such a thing.

Zemo watched from the shuttle's monitors as the men began to prepare the Acocanthosaur for immediate containment. But even he wasn't unprepared. He knew very well that at any given moment, the animal would try to escape. But the Baron was prepared for every contingency. He turned to another soldier nearby & said. "Have the collar operational & on standby immediately. Should that animal do so much as scratch the metal on the bars, Put it down."

"Yes sir." a soldier says as they prepare their guns & they also prepare a collar for the Acro, who is pawing the ground of the cage, still preparing for a possible "jail break" from them.

From there, Baron Zemo turned back to watch the screens & the monitors in which showed him the Acrocanthosaurus, as the men tried to ready & prepare for it's containment. He kept his sinister eyes locked on the screen. A menacing gaze so icy cold. The soldiers in the monitor screens all begin to approach the animal with prods & other weapons of self defense. Many of them began to approach with metal wires & straps to try & contain the animal while transporting. But Zemo had seen that the dinosaur was going to attempt a possible escape. But he wasn't so hasty to make his decision. He instead waited to see what the dinosaur would do first. "Go on.......Make your move. Just TRY & escape." he said to himself with such a sinister tone.

The gates was fully open, & the Acro makes his move! He charges at the door at full speed! A soldier tries to contain it & shoot it,but he is smacked to the wall by the massive theropod. The carnivore roars & charges on to the gate!

The Baron looked on with a stern glare of annoyance. But he didn't make his move JUST yet. He watched & waited to see if containment would be possible. "Give the order to use all means of containment." he then said to the nearest soldier, as he watched on through the monitor screens.

"Yes sir!" the soldier says as they move in & try to contain the beast with the same wires that had captured it before! The carnivore roars out as its neck is caught & shook his head, flinging a few soldiers around. It steps on somemore wires that quicklly wrap around his feet & with a good yank from a number of good strong soldiers, the finally bring down the animal as it falls to the floor, unharmed.

It took a single minute for the soldiers to bring down the dinosaur. To Zemo, it was a futile effort. He would personally never allow such incidents to happen inside his own fortress & in his presence. He would never tolerate failure after coming this far. But finally, Zemo began to make his way out of the shuttle. The ship's bridge slowly began to open & descend before touching the ground. He then began to make his exit. Upon his presence. the soldiers all around him froze completely, & saluted to their superior. "HAIL HYDRA!" they all shouted.

The Acro remained on the ground with strong suspentions around his legs & mouth, preventing him from biting the heads off the soldiers. He sees Zemo & thus gave a belly gutterlling growl at him!

The Baron had at last walked out of his shuttle, with the soldiers all standing in single file & saluting to him in respect to their commanding superior. For he had finally entered his fortress at last. & soon, he began to walk toward the very same Acrcanthosaur while it lied on the ground. Still awake, perhaps, but completely contained & unable to move. Zemo soon just stood there. Before the very jaws of death & before the colossal killer itself. The man, alone & with no defense, showed no fear to the creature. For he knew there was nothing the animal could do to possible harm him. Instead, he merely help a small control in his hands, one that operated the collar around the dinosaurs neck. "That is no way to treat your new master....Beast." he said sinisterly, & thus pressed the button to give the animal a small taste of punishment.

The Acro looked on at Zemo as he says this to him. When he feels a bit of electricity going in him from the collar, he growls in a bit of pain from it.

As the dinosaur growled in pain before Zemo's feet, the Baron simply watched with a lidless gaze. One that was so cold & evil, nearly no one could ever dare look this man in the eye. He finally released the button, which caused the electrical shock in the collar to cease. With that, he placed his hands behind his back, looking on at the dinosaur before him. "Take it away. Prepare Cell 45 for immediate containment." he said to the soldiers before he himself prepared to walk away to enter his castle.

"Yes sir!" a soldier says with a salute & thus prepared a transportation vehicle to take the theropod to a designated enclosure that Zemo had assigned it to.

After dealing with the soldiers & after witnessing the containment of the other dinosaurs., Zemo began to walk away, & down the massive cavern. He approached the end of the massive cavern to see a capsule being stationed & ready for use. A personal elevator that he designed. He entered the pod, with the glass door shutting behind him & thus, the elevator began to shoot straight up, & would eventually be lead all the way to the grand castle itself.

As the Acrocantosaur was being taken to his cage. Someone was waiting for Zemo in the top of the castle where his quarters was. This was a villan that had come here for a visit as she knew Zemo before, & wonders if he remembers her.

The pod continued it's ascend upward. Traveling every fifteen feet per second. Zemo began to leave the caverns deep beneath his fortress & stood there, quietly. Without a single noise or sound. Soon, the pod entered total darkness. As it began to go through the underground tunnel that connected both the castle with the caverns below. The only light given was from the pod itself. After a single minute....Baron Zemo had arrived into his castle. The pod had now entered the main floor & the castle itself. As it opened, he finally stepped out & arrived into one of the many grand halls of the ancient castle.
Its very walls, decorated with torches & gargoyles, all told an ancient story of the household of "The Baron" bloodline. For hundreds of years, these walls & the castle itself have all harvested the secrets of the ancient bloodline. Secrets that now only Baron Zemo know. After arriving, Zemo began to walk through the corridor of his castle, alone, with only the light of the torches & the light from the windows to help brighten his way.

The woman remained where she was, standing at a window with an evil smile on her face. Indeed was a bit happy to see Zemo. She stays in the quarters & waits for Zemo to come here. This woman was a part of a gang of women called the "Hellfire Club" the same club that Morrigan was in. She's just like all the women apart of the club. They may look beautifull on the outside, but the inside lies a cold, black heart. & this one was no different. She is dressed mostlly green with a tiara on her head. Green eyes & blonde hair. One of the famous members of the group born straight from central Europe- Amora "the Enchantress!"

Baron Zemo walked through the halls of his castle alone. There, upon the walls, he was beginning to see several mounted flags, both of his bloodline & even of HYDRA. Though he did not care much, he would normally consider this an insult upon his behalf & his honor. He slightly scoffed & moved on, treating such things like a horrible piece of art. Before long, he had arrived in one of the larger halls of the castle. Where several of his servants were at work cleaning the castle. All of whom were dressed nearly identical, in simply white robes. The mere sight of Zemo entering the room made the servants shiver a little in fear, as they remained silent before their master. At the same time, soldiers of HYDRA were wandering about, completing their tasks as assigned by Baron Zemo. Until one soon began to approach, saluting in his respects.
"Heir Zemo. Permission to speak, sir." he asked, as Baron continued to walk along, heading toward his personal quarters where his own throne awaited.
"You may speak." Zemo replied.
"Heir Zemo, I have urgent news to share." the soldier then said.
"Whatever it is, I am sure it can wait. If it is with matters with Schmidt, then I will attend to it personally-" Zemo went to say.
"I-If I may, Heir Zemo.....Its not the Supreme Leader......W-We have a visitor."
From that moment, the Baron suddenly paused! He had stopped & had frozen in place! A little surprised to hear such words being uttered from the man. He slowly turned his head to the side, looking at the soldier behind him. "........A Guest?" he merely asked.

"Y-y-yes sir. She says her name is....A-Amora....o-o-or something like that." another soldier says as he walked with Zemo.
------------------------
Amora remained where she was, looking at the door & with her arms crossed, waiting for Zemo to come in, hoping he'll remember her.

For the moment, Zemo did not recall the name. He began to think to himself, as he did remember he was to meet someone who was to represent some sort of organization, or a group of some sort. The "Hellfire Club", as he remembered. "She?" he then asked with a slight glare.
"Y-Yes sir. S-She is waiting for you." the soldier said. Zemo meanwhile continued to think this through & simply looked on for a moment. "......Show me." he then demanded.

"V-very well, sir." the soldier says & thus began to lead Zemo up to the quarters section of the castle. Exactlly where Amora was waiting for him at.

Soon, Baron Zemo began to follow the HYDRA soldiers to the designated room where Amora, the "Enchantress" was being kept in. The trip soon began to lead them up the stairs of the castle, that would take them to the second floor & beyond that, the towers. They began to walk up the long, spiraling stairs of the tower, in which would lead to one of the grand rooms of the castle.
