Chapter 5- Jurassic Park, Part 5

Jaune stood outside the holding pen from the beginning of the movie, looking up at it.

"Dr. Arc!" Ozpin called as he and the others walked up to the pen, "As I was saying, we laid on lunch for you before you set out into the park. Our gourmet chef, Alejandro- "

"What are they doing?" Jaune asked as a crane lifted a steer into the air.

"Oh, feeding them." As the steer lifted higher into the air, Ozpin tried to make Jaune come along, saying "Alejandro's prepared a delightful menu for us. Vacuoan sea bass, I believe. Shall we?"

"Vacuoan sea bass?!" Blake said excitedly, her mouth starting to overflow with drool. She was saved from embarrassment when Yang reached over and closed her mouth for her. "Thank you."

"No prob, kitty."

"Well, if anything, the chef has excellent taste," Torchwick said. A few people looked up at him, surprised. "What? When you're a professional thief, you need to spend the money on something fast, or risk getting caught. Expensive food like that is always a good choice."

"Am I the only one worried about the cow?" Ruby said, tugging at the edge of her hood nervously.

The cow moved over to the pen as the group clambered up a staircase and onto a viewing platform. A gate in the top of the pen opened up as the steer was lowered into the pen and disappeared into the dense foliage. As the top gate slammed shut, the jungle erupted in growls, shrieks, and cries. The foliage moved incredibly fast, allowing those on the viewing platform to see the Raptors tear their lunch to pieces. Nora looked physically shook at what she had just seen, holding a hand over her chest to steady her breathing and the other clutching a railing to keep herself somewhat upright. Pyrrha had a sort-off grimace and Jaune looked on in stunned fascination until a gruff voice brought him back to Realityland.

"Holy shit." Yang said quietly. She had seen some brutal things in her life, the Fall most prominent among them, but she could only imagine the brutality that was going on in that cage. Ruby clung to her mother, burying her face in her arm, as Summer tried to soothe her.

"They should all be destroyed." Said Qrow as he walked up the stairs to the platform. He was wearing his usual garb, with Harbinger noticeably absent.

"Ah! Qrow Branwen, my game warden from Vale," Ozpin introduced him, "Bit of an alarmist I'm afraid, but he's one of the best Huntsmen I know and knows more about Raptors than anybody."

Jaune immediately started asking him questions, as they both leaned back on railings, facing each other. "What kind of metabolism do they have? What's their growth rate?"

"They're lethal at eight months, and I do mean lethal. I've hunted most things that can hunt you, but the way these things move..."

"Fast for a biped?"

"Cheetah speed. Fifty, sixty miles an hour if they ever got out in the open, and they're astonishing jumpers."

"Yes. That's why we're taking extreme precautions." Ozpin tried to reassure everybody. He tried to show Pyrrha their security measures until they were interrupted when one of the Raptors made a brief shriek.

"Do they show intelligence?" Jaune asked Qrow, "Because their brain cavity- "

"They show extreme intelligence. Even problem-solving intelligent. Especially the big one. We bred eight originally but when she came in, she took over the pride and killed all but two of the others. That one," he paused to take a sip from his hip flask, "when she looks at you, you can see she's working things out. That's why we have to feed them like this. She had them all attacking the fences when the feeders came."
