The Cartwright's preparation of the tournament

Hoss watches on as they tranquilize the Pentraceratops. But unaware to both him & the HYDRA forces is that danger is approaching.
-------------------------
Near the scene, inside the thick cover of the forest lies the Ponderosa's largest & most dangerous species of North American theropod, & it's not T-rex. It's something more dangerous! It keeps still & quiet as it watches the troops, not scared nor intiminated by the appearance of these strange beings. Only seeing them as food as he quietlly stalks the forces & dinosaurs!

The ceratopsian had finally been shot with a dart! Now the forces of HYDRA could begin moving in for the taking! The massive vehicle soon & suddenly stopped! Causing the dinsoaur to stop dead in it's tracks! The effects of the dart were already taking over but the Pentaceratops continued to fight with ever last ounce of it's immense strength! But it was clear it was now fight a loosing battle! The ropes the soldiers had wrapped around the animal were attacked to the vehicle itself. A simple press of a button & those very ropes began pulling back! The ceratopsian was being pulled & chocked by the steel cables wrapped around it's neck! It called out in agony & fury! Soon, at least 4 more men came in from the side to keep the animal still. With locks that were held by steel rods. Each lock took the animals legs! Preventing it from moving any furhter but it's troubles were just starting! As the animal called out, the vehicle suddenly came alive as two gigantic arms slowly moved up & on the two sides of the animal. Much like in the second Jurassic Park film when they captured the poor Pachy. The arms soon came around the sedated animal & soon......The Pentaceratops was trapped! It kept the animal mobilized until finally, the effects of the dart took hold & the Pentaceratops finally fell. Another trophy for the forces of HYDRA & another pawn for their forces.

The giant theropod watched as the HYDRA forces successfully captured the Pentraceratops. Soon, it quietlly creeps to the edge of the forest, waiting to strike, seeing the dinosaurs & many normal animals like cows & horses stampede past it, wich were followed by motorcycle troops. The predator watches with gazing eyes as it looks on at its potential intruders of its territory & hunting grounds, wich were the HYDRA soldiers in pursuit!

Soon a soldier on a mortorcycle sooon saw the large figure, wich had it's eye on him. The animal followed the motorcycle slowly, shaking the trees, & the ground with each step, a tree snaps & braks, falling in front of him, causing him to crash into it. The predator makes a loud moaning growl followed by a ear defying roar as it steps out, slamming it's 3 toed foot down, causing the ground to shake. Another motorcycled soldier runs into the foot of the animal & flips over!

A soldier sees this as the other foot comes down as the theropod walks toward a large moving truck! Soon the driver comes to a stop when the predator clamps down on the op of the truck & uses his upper body strength to pull it up! Soon, the weight of the truck breaks & falls, busting the engine where it wont start & the predator throws the peice it had itn its mouth down & gives out a loud roar before it continued its attack, trying to eliminate the intruders of its hunting territory. Soon the theropd is revealed, as a large male Acrocanthosauus!!

The roar was definite! Something was nearby! The soldiers who were attacked soon ran to get a safe distance & prepared to defend themselves! There they saw the giant predator! A male Acrocanthosaur at his prime! Healthy & large, it seemed to pose a threat to the HYDRA forces for the moment!
"GET BACK!" "DEFEND YOURSELVES!" "READY YOUR WEAPONS!" They all began to cry. Beginning to make preparations to defend themselves against the predator & with the fire power to do just that. A few men made some warning shots to the carnivore! Shots of electrified cartridges & tazers kept for the operation. At the moment, they merely defended themselves, while hauling away the dinosaurs they had already captured. But all this was about to change.....& very soon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the shuttle that had arrive but a half hour before, Baron Zemo himself watched on with evil, gazing eyes. He had watched & observed the progress of his men & the operation. For the most part, all was going accordingly. As he was beginning to make his demands for a progress report, he soon saw the Acrocanthosaurus itself appear! A slight tone of surprise came from the man. But such a feeling did not last very long. Now that he saw a large carnivore in the area, he now knew that where there was one, several more of the same kind must be in the Ponderosa as well. "An Acrocanthosaur....Here........How interesting." he merely said. He continued to look on with such evil eyes with sinister intent. Devising a plan that would aid their operation more.

O.O Hoss's eyes widened when he saw the gian Acrocanthosaur emerge from the forest & attacked the soldiers!
------------------------
The Acro was sot by the tazers & roared out in fury. But that wasn;t enough to stop this male. He turned his head & now eyed his attackers, growling & slowly approached & soon charged, giving chase to the men! Each step was like a earthquake to the men as he tried to snatch them up in his jaws, snapping at them repeatinglly!

"FIRE AT WILL!!!" A soldier then cried out as the forces stood their ground! The vehicles all backed away to avoided getting trampled as the soldiers soon readied their weapons! All primed with sniper scopes & took aim! Several men then all fired simultaneously! One after another & delivering electrifying shots! One sniper soon made a direct hit- A shot that made it directly in the animals eye!
The soldiers would hope the animal would fall down due to the shot but soon one commanding soldier received a message via com link. From the Baron himself!
"H-Heir Zemo! We are under attack by one of the dinosaurs!" the soldier said.
"I am aware." Zemo simply replied, with a tone of confidence in his voice & with a plan.
"We are attempting to repel the creature with all we have! But it's-!"
"No!.....Do not drive it away."
"H-Heir Zemo-!?"
"Capture it....No matter the cost. You are here to gather all you can. Now do so. Capture the Acro with all you have. Bring the animal down."
"Capture it?! B-But Heir Zemo-!"
"That is a direct order!....Are you questioning my command, fool?"
"N-N-No Heir Zemo! I-It shall be done!"
"Good.....Do not fail me." Zemo soon replied back & with that, he cut off his communication.

The Acro roars out in fury as he was shot in the eye! Thankfully, it didn't hurt the animal too much. He snarls & growls, turning to the soldiers again. With another loud roar, it charges for the truck, & as soon as Zemo got done talking to them, the Acro lowers its head & rams the truck, causing it to flip over 2 times before the truck stops on its top & wheels up. The Acro then chases down another truck & catching up to it & fast!

So far 2 vehicles had been destroyed. Something the HYDRA forces had to expect. With such an operation came a price. But luckily, no one was killed. They were still in full force. But suddenly, the soldiers were about to surprise even their attacker! The vehicles, ever single one of them, like an angry herd of ceratopsians, turned to face the Acrocanthosaur! Every single vehicle turned around to a stop! They did not more! The time for fleeing was now over.
"ALL UNITS MOVE IN!! PREPARE TO SNAG!!" One soldier then cried. With the command given by both the soldier & Baron Zemo, the tables had now turned. Now the soldiers went to face the giant carnivore with everything they needed to obtain & capture! Tranquilizer guns, tazers, steel cables & the capture vehicles as well. Vehicles in which even a massive carnivore would have more then enough trouble to flip. nearly 8 tons of pure mechanized steel. The tables had drastically turned! The soldiers showed no fear or hesitation. Even to this massive predator. They were the forces of the mighty HYDRA....They do not know fear. For they are the ones who spread it.....The Hunter had now become the Hunted.

The male Acrocanthosaurus stopped as he saw the HYDRA forcess ready to shoot at him. But he doesn't turn & run. But he roars at the treat, like it was a wall of ceratopsians, facing their horns at him. But the Acro prepares to charge at them!

The swarms of the HYDRA soldiers had now surrounded the animal! All who were now armed to the teeth. Each time the dinosaur would come in striking distance, the soldiers would defend themselves with electrical rods. Swinging them at the creature & to keep it at bay. Then, with the order made by Zemo himself, the soldiers soon came in with the tranquilizer rifles. Each rifle shot at the animal with a dart in the neck, the sides, exc. A few were shaken off from the creature's violent shaking, but enough made it through the think skin.
"SNAG UNITS MOVE IN!!!!" The commander then shouted. Very soon the soldiers came in with the very same type of locks & ropes they used against the Pentaceratops. Steel cables began to wrap around the animals neck & hands. Along with it's feet while more came in with steel locks to restrict the animals movement even more. Or try to at least.

The Acrocanthosaur got cables wrapped around its neck, hands & feet. The HYDRA soldiers think they got the theropod restricted, but he isn't going down without a fight! He lowers its head down & with a backwards thrust, he slings a few soldiers out of their vehicles! The predator roars in rage & fury & runs, passing by an exit that was accidentlly ma by the vehicles! He then actually begins to pull & drag the soldiers along the ground!
---------------------------------------------
Hoss watches from a good distance, "Yeah, that's it." he says to himself.

The HYDRA forces held on tightly with everything they had! Even as they were dragged against the animal's shear strength! But there was one other line of steel cable that had wrapped around the animal's neck earlier & that cable was attached to one of the heavier vehicles! "BRING IT BACK! BRING HIM DOWN!!!" The soldier roared to the driver! The vehicle then began to immediately drive back, forcing the cable to suddenly stiffen completely, & instantly flung the animal back with a choking, forceful yank by it's own throat, ceasing it's movements as the vehicle continued to pull the Acrocanthosaur back! "TAKE IT DOWN!!!" The soldiers soon cried! Bringing in everything they can to bring the Acrocanthosaur down to capture once & for all. More lock's were placed on it's clawed arms & feet & more on the animal's neck. More soldiers came in with a large net gun & immediately fired, as a net soon covered the Acro's massive mouth & head. Finally, much with the Pentaceratops, more soldiers came with a barrage of tranquilizer darts & more traps to contain the animal. Hoping that this would finally do the trick as the soldiers all move on for capture.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the midsts of his shuttle, Baron Zemo absurbs the containment of the Acrocanthosaur via monitor screen. He knows that animals that can resist so greatly are most likely powerful. But he also knows that no animal, however big, can resist forever. With his hands together in such a villanous pose, he watched on from his seat as the Acro was finally about to be taken down.

& soon, the plan worked. The Acro was no longer able to move & was fully captured by the HYDRA soldiers!
---------------------------------
Hoss lightlly growled to himself, "I got to tell pa." he says as he got on his horse & soon rode out towards Virginia City to tell his father, brothers, & the sherrif of what he is seeing!

With the fall of the Acro, the forces of the all powerful HYDRA soon began to cheer with victory, saluting & shouting in code of arms before finally preparing the down Acrocanthosaur for transport. They made sure the animal was well contained, as it was by far the largest carnivore they have captured thus far. They made sure it's mouth was secured & tied. Along with the rest of it's limbs to reduce it's chances of escape. After securing the dinosaur in a transport that would lead back to the shuttle, the forces of HYDRA soon resumed their hunt! The vehicles roared with their engines as the chase for more dinosaurs was on once more!

Hoss soon arrived in Virginia City & rushed inside where the sherriff's office where Ben, Adam, Little Joe, & the sherriff were. "Pa, you have to hear this." Hoss says.
"What is it, Hoss?" Ben asked.
"That Zemo guy. He's poaching at our dinosaurs. He's capturing them."
O_O "He's doingg what?!"
"That's right, pa."
The sherriff looked on, "He's stealing dinosaurs, eh? That would be considered a crime around here." he then prepared his riflle, "C'mon. We'll settle this. He maybe royalty or whatever he says he is, but no one steals dinosaurs from the Ponderosa." the sherriff said again & prepared to get on his horse, as well as the Cartwrights as they prepare to head back down to where the hunt is taking place at!

The hunt continued & the cry of distressing dinosaurs could be heard throughout the vast reaches of the Ponderosa! Predator & prey & the tall & the small. Any dinosaur that was necessary for capture, the HYDRA forces took full advantage of. While one squad took care of a herd f Ceratopsians, another soon began to take on animals like Alamosaurus. Dinosaurs that proved much harder the capture then any carnivore in the area or any mega ton mammal in all the world. The vast forces used whatever means necessary for capture. Using everything from nets, to actual fire power. The captured dinosaurs meanwhile were loaded onto the transporting vehicles & returned to where the massive shuttle was from where they came from. There, Baron Zemo himself awaited for a full report as he witnessed the many vehicles returning with the large number of dinosaurs. Soon, a HYDRA soldier approached the man with a salute of arms.
"Heir Zemo. I come with the full report." the man said.
"You may speak." Zemo merely replied, standing before the man with the classic villain pose with his arms behind his back. Looking down upon the man with a faceless & yet terrifying expression.
"So far we have succeeded in rounding 34 dinosaurs to our collection & are proceeding to capture & collect more in the remainder of the day, sir."
"How soon will we be prepared to leave?" Zemo then asked.
"The remaining units should be back in approximately 1 hour sir."
"Cut them short for today."
"Heir Zemo?"
"As soon as they return, we should be prepared to leave immediately. Have them round of the animals & the vehicles as soon as they return for immediate launch.......We seem to be inviting.....Unwelcomed guests, to our operation."
"Shall we increase the security, sir?"
"Do whatever you must. I will not allow any interference in this operation. Should you come across resistance, I want them ELIMINATED!"
"Yes Heir Zemo!" the guard finally replied before moving out once more.

The Carwrights, with the sherrif, soon began to ride back down to the site where the hunt of the HYDRA forces were taking place at. Ready to settle this once & for all.

The hunt seemed like it would never end! It just wouldn't stop! The villainous forces of HYDRA seemed they would not stop until all the land was stripped from their dinosaurs! Each passing minute or so & a capture vehicle would return with another bounty of dinosaurs! Ranging from ceratopsians, to ankylosaurs, to sauropods & even the Acrocanthosaur from before! Baron Zemo gazed upon the arriving vehicles with their bounty. Looking on with a pleased expression from his eyes to see such a variety of game in the valley. He was impressed by the Acrocanthosaur as well & soon, without fear of the carnivore, he slowly approached with his hands held behind his back. The black coat flowing in the wind behind him to give his villainous presence more evil & meaning to his own madness.

The Cartwrights continue to ride down with the sherrif down to the area where the hunt was continueing at. They soon reach the hill Hoss was on.
"See, pa." Hoss says pointing. Ben takes his binoculars & looks down where the hunt was taking place. He gets a bit mad, not liking this at all. >=(

Back where the shuttle was, Baron Zemo continued to examine & look over his prizes & his new collection of captured dinosaurs! All of which, he thought, will serve both his & HYDRA's purpose well. Being the head of HYDRA's science division, he is in command of any expedition that required specimen gathering or testing the HYDRA technology. Much of which were gained or created by Zemo himself. "Magnificent........Such fine specimens." he said to himself, walking beside the many cages which showed the dinosaurs & one in particular, the Acrocanthosaur. "You especially.......You show much.....Potential." he then said to himself. Gazing upon the drugged animal with a menacing glare.

The lage Acrocantosaur, even though he was still woozy, growled & snarled at Zemo. Backing up from him to the back of the cage.
----------------------------------------------------------
"C'mon, let's go." the sherriff says as he rides down hill toward the hunt sight & the Cartwrights follow.

Watching the Acrocanthosaur, Zemo simply stood there with a faceless but menacing gaze. As he stood there, more & more cages with dinosaurs had soon arrived near him & the shuttle. Taken & ready for transport whenever they had to leave. The progress was admirable. Even Zemo was pleased at the amount of captured animals they had now acquired. Even animals as large as sauropods were now under their capture. But at the moment, Zemo did not suspect the approach of the Cartwright brothers!

Soon enough, the Cartwrights & the sherrif had arrived. The sherrif looked on, then says, "Hold it! I can not let you steal these dinosaurs on this property." he says. "I'm giving you one warning, put them back or I'll have to take ya in." he says. >=(

Zemo had suddenly paused! He suddenly heard a voice behind him & a demanding voice at that! The HYDRA soldiers responded immediately & formed their line of defense! With weapons ready to fire, they aimed at both the Sherrif & the Cartwrights! Zemo began to slowly turn to the fools behind him. How dare they bark orders at him he thought! He said nothing at the moment & looked on at them with an faceless & yet intimidating glare! He merely said nothing to the Sherrif, grunting at him before turning to the Cartwrights! ".......You again.......I see you have learned nothing from last time." he merely said to them before turning to the Sheriff once more. "Take...Me....In? Hmph, do not fool yourself with your pathetic dogma! I am not some mere criminal that can be placed under your American laws! I am royalty....I am nobility.....I do as I choose. & I answer to no one!"

"Look! You are tresspassing & stealing dinosaurs from property that does NOT belong to do. You do as I say now! Don't matter if you're royalty or not." the sherrif says as he held his rifle as wel las the Cartwrights, who held their weapons.
