It's been four months since Jose, Dulcinea, and Puss in Boots, along with the Avengers, managed to save the universe from Thanos. These days, the three friends are enjoying the peace and quiet that they deserved, going on countless adventures with no "world on the line" pressure, getting to know each other better, and enjoying their time in their new house far away in the desserts, just thirty minutes from the town of San Ricardo. On Sunday, August twenty-six, it is six thirty in the mourning, the sun is beginning to rise, but Jose wake up rapidly as if he got a heart attack of some sorts, he breaths rapidly as if he saw a ghost, as he clearly had a nightmare. He wakes up and quietly goes to the gym to workout so that he can get this nightmare out of his head, only for Dulcinea to wake up and sees her friend's sudden awakening.
Jose goes to the gym starts punching at a bag with fierce and rage, as he's getting flashbacks from his previous adventure. The faster this flashbacks were taking place, the harder Jose punched the bag; like an animal releasing his anger, as finally, a flashback of a woman in a lilac dress with blue eyes appeared as Jose throws a lighting powered right hand and smashed the bag out of place and knocks it down. Jose takes deep breaths as if this dream is either fake or a vision, telling him that something bad is coming. Suddenly Dulcinea walks to the gym in her white pajamas and comes in to see her worried friend.
"Jose, are you okay?" said the beautiful cat as she approached him with a soft look on her face.
"No," said Jose as he breathes very strong looking at Dulcinea very strange.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Dulcinea politely asked Jose as Jose agrees and both friends sit down on a couch to talk about Jose's problems.
"Dulcinea, I had a nightmare and got scared, sorry if I woke you up," said Jose with the sentiment attitude he put on.
"It's okay, Jose. I'm here to help you in any way. Tell me what is it that you dreamt about," said Dulcinea as she took Jose's hands to calm him down, as Jose showed a bit of hesitation to answer her question because he didn't want to worry Dulcinea too much.
"Dulcinea, I dreamt of a woman," said Jose as Dulcinea was confused about his answer.
"A woman? How is that a nightmare?" said Dulcinea crossing her arms around her and raised her eyebrows up like she was The Rock.
"It's not that simple, Dulcinea. The woman it... it h... it had a white and purple lilac dress, blue eyes, and her hair color was white," said Jose as he needed to get this off his chest and who better than Dulcinea, who for him, is like a sister he could trust, because, as much as Puss helps Dulcinea to be stronger and Dulcinea helps Puss to be kinder, both cats have taught Jose to be not just both of these, they have taught Jose about what is like to be a part of a family again.
"Jose, you saying this as if that woman is..." said Dulcinea right before she stopped talking to the point where she looked at Jose so surprised, is as if, she knows who is the woman Jose is referring to.
"Jose, am I the woman in your dreams?" Dulcinea said as she needed to make sure that if her theory is either true or was just her being a little naive.
"I don't know, Dulcinea. Maybe it's just me hallucinating too much," said Jose as he gave Dulcinea a very poor man look, as Dulcinea hugged Jose to lift his spirits up.
"It's okay Jose, we will figure it out soon. Thanks for letting me talk about what happened. Remember, when bad thoughts have filled your head, just sing a happy tune instead," said Dulcinea as she hums a happy tune as Jose puts a very big smile on his face and hugs Dulcinea.
"Thank you, Dulcinea. Also, happy birthday," said Jose, as he gives his friend a happy birthday song, clearly forgetting all that nightmare he was having a while ago, while Dulcinea is starstruck by Jose's sweetness showing off her big blue eyes with a lovely smile on her face.
"Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday, Dulcinea. Happy Birthday to you!" said an awoken Puss in Boots as he rushes towards the gym and jumps on Dulcinea to give her a hug and swings her around with joy and happiness on both cats' faces.
"Thanks, Puss," said Dulcinea as she gave Puss a very lovely stare, like a being happy for the blessing she is giving in her life, and really, it is for both Puss and Dulcinea. They know each other for three months, well one since Sino erased all of Puss' adventures in San Lorenzo, but for them, three months feels like an eternity.
"Ready for today's activity? Also, I found this restaurant in a plaza place in Barcelona. I heard today is some sort of carnival activity with music, fun, and heard a rap battle show with someone named Robin, the other who calls himself Cyborg, and the other one Beast Boy." said Jose, as he joined in on the all, smiles train right before he was disgust by saying the names of the "rappers,"
"You really hate that cringy tv series, do you not?" said Puss
"I mean yeah. I don't know why people these days don't bring quality shows, rather than quantity shows that disrespect other heroes, movies, shows, and even the fans. That movie sucks so much, that is like Cupid's arrow I want to miss, want to eat so that I shall not kiss. I mean and it's a series using their real-life names and they have their own rap group and they think that their the best my God I don't even know why my brother recommended me to watch it," said a very angry Jose as he feels that kids deserve to watch shows and movies that help them understands the values of life, like Zootopia, Brave, etc. and not this garbage as Jose claims to be, and feels like their music makes it even worse for Jose to dislike them a lot.
"Like this is the total opposite of what I taught the orphans," said the very mad Dulcinea as she agrees with Jose.
"Nevermind that. Now, who is ready to celebrate!?" said a very excited Puss as Jose and Dulcinea joined in on the celebration.
For most of the duration of the day, the three friends enjoyed their time playing together, train together, talk a lot about their personal lives, as Jose told Puss about what happened today. Puss was surprisingly shocked by Jose's nightmare that he gave the man his regards. After that, Jose, Dulcinea, and Ginger went to get ready to go to the restaurant Jose told a while ago. All three friends went to three different restrooms to get prepared for the evening. Five minutes later, Jose finished and gets ready to go in his blue jeans, black shoes, and a black t-shirt and a white undershirt.
"I'm ready," Jose shouted as he was excited to go and have this wonderful, nonviolent time with his friends.
"Coming," said Puss as he jumps the stairs with ease as he wears his usual hat and boots.
"Nice," Jose said.
"Thank you, Jose. Now, Jose, do not go all overemotional with Dulcinea like last time," sais Puss as he told Jose about the time Jose was frozen still when Dulcinea whore her dress for the Avengers party, like a man seeing an angel in real life.
"Oh, sorry about that, it just that I never saw someone with this much happiness before. I mean, she has a great view of the world but also loves how she can defend herself from certain idiotic bad guys," said Jose as Puss looked at Jose and was extremely happy for those words his friend made, as he was right. Dulcinea always looked at the world as one happy place and the way that she defends herself and others for the greater good, Puss is proud that he trained and fought with Dulcinea since when they had to defeat the Thriffith and it really took off for them from here on out.
"I'm coming," said Dulcinea as she giggles around and walks down the stairs in her beautiful lilac dress, like a princess hopping around with so much joy.
"Woah," said Puss as he was impressed at Dulcinea and immediately went towards her and gave her a gentle nose rub.
"Wow, Dulcinea, you look beautiful!" said Jose as he yelled, with his heat sweating like a desperate man, and he couldn't control over himself by the fact that he likes Dulcinea's dress, or is it that it reminds him of the dress the woman of his dreams and he doesn't want to tell Puss and Dulcinea more information about it because he wants to have a good time without any worries, and Dulcinea laughed while Puss hit himself in shame with his own paws on his face.
"Jose, I thought you said that you would control yourself," says the very confused Puss at Jose.
"Well, sorry. It's not my fault I get very nervous whenever I see someone beautiful and happy. It just like a sickness to me." said Jose.
"Haa, it's okay, guys. Remember, when a friend you guys share, each other you need to take care," said the very peaceful Dulcinea as she was laughing at both Puss and Jose in a harmonic way.
"It is nice to hear another one of your rhymes, especially since you have been making new," said the complimented Puss.
"Yeah," said Jose.
"Oh, thank you, guys. Are we forgetting something before we go?" said Dulcinea with a short smile as Puss and Jose were confused by her question.
"What are we missing?" both men said as they grow more confused.
"Oh, sillies, your money of course. Remember, today is my birthday," said a very sassy and prideful Dulcinea as now Jose and Puss remembers that they need to pay for everything for her birthday because Dulcinea won the horse race.
"Ah shit, I forgot," said a very surprised Jose as he was a little angry inside that he lost the race because he takes loses too much, especially when he was a second away from winning this.
"Holy Frijoles," said Puss as he was stunned by her comment like a calendar remaining him that the new school semester starts in one day.
"As I say, you guys would eat your words, hehe," said Dulcinea as she laughs with so much joy because, for her, it is not often she wins at something very important, especially beating her two friends even though she beats Puss most of the time.
"Okay, I got the money, let's go," said a very excited Jose as the three friends were so psyched to go to Barcelona to enjoy the carnival. They used the portal Jose and his brother made to get them easily to Barcelona.
"Jose, why we need to use this portal?" said Puss as he his hate for portals started to kick in his system.
"Because it is the fastest route, and we never used the machine," said Jose as he was really excited to fire up the machine.
"To be honest, I would really want to go in the machine, Puss," said Dulcinea as she gave Puss his own big eyes begging maneuver.
"No," said Puss as he tried hard to avoid those beautiful eyes of Dulcinea.
"Please," both Dulcinea and Jose said making their eyes, even bigger and Puss had no choice.
"Okay, just hold my paw, please," said Puss with a little bit of fear in his eyes.
"Okay," said Dulcinea as she holds his paws and Jose powers the machine and goes through the portal to be on their way to Barcelona.
The three friends arrived in Barcelona as Puss felt like nothing bad happen to him and he immediately loved the portal, and they see a lot of people already enjoying the carnival at the plaza. The restaurant was just a few blocks away but Dulcinea, Jose, and Puss wanted to take a look around the plaza and see some stuff.
"Guys, let's split up and take a look around the plaza. That way, you two can buy some presents for me if the gifts are good," said Dulcinea as Jose and Puss agreed to the idea with such excitement.
"Okay, Dulcinea. Jose and I will go and go take a look around. Be careful and whatever you do, do not be naive," said a very overprotective Puss.
"What are you talking about? I'm never naive," said Dulcinea as she raised her voice as if she was mimicking T'challa's voice.
"Are you making your voice deep?" said Jose as he laughs out loud by the joke.
"Yeah, kinda wanted to make a joke, hehe," said Dulcinea as she giggles like a cat enjoying her time too much.
"Okay, then. Let us go," said the very adventurous Puss as he, Jose, and Dulcinea went on their separate paths to take a look at the many places at the plaza.
Puss and Jose went to a relic store and saw a beautiful necklace with a blue gem at its center, but Jose quickly had to clean his glasses
"Jose, are you okay?" said Puss as he quickly caught up to Jose's sudden stare at the necklace.
"Puss, that's the necklace I had when I was in the Realm of Shades," said, Jose, as he and Puss were confused by the sudden appearance of the necklace and they rushed to the owner of the shop.
"Excuse me, sir. Where did you get that necklace?" said Jose in his most calm tone as possible.
"First of all, is an amulet. Secondly, I saw it flying in the skies like it was a meteor. It kinda broke my farm," said the old man.
"Okay, sir. We want to buy that necklace," Said Puss in Boots as he wanted to have the amulet because he thinks that it would be the perfect gift for Dulcinea.
"Okay, pussycat. That would be five million dollars" said the very greedy owner.
"What?! are you crazy!? That thing worth way less than that," said Puss as he couldn't believe the price of the amulet.
"Well, unless you make a basket from there to that court over there, I wore said, Jose, he amulet for free," said the owner as he points at the basket being a hundred and sixty feet from where they are.
"Haaaa. This necklace is as good as mine. Give me a basketball," said Jose as the owner was confused by Jose's bold statement, and Puss had a very bad feeling look as if he knows Jose's antics. The old man gives Jose the ball, but Jose throws the basketball behind his back without looking at the rim with his eyes closed and threw it one handed. Puss was scared and screamed at Jose like a coach being pissed at his player for doing such a stupid mistake.
"You are loco, amigo," said the overly confident owner as Jose did nothing but put hands as if he was looking at a clock waiting for the basket to go in. Then, the basketball flew up, up, and up as it slowly started to go down the hoop, and finally, it went down and hit the bottom of the net. Puss run like a crazy person because Jose made what it seemed to be an impossible shot, the owner was stunned, shocked, like a man who refuses to believe in miracles, as for Jose, well, he just did a little shrug on his face.
"Well, if you excuse I'll take that. Thank you," said Jose to be proud takes the amulet as the owner is as speechless as a box, crying from the inside as Jose and Puss walk away with their prized possession.
"Jose, how did you made that shot?" said a very surprised Jose as he still couldn't believe Jose made that unbelievable shot.
"Well, when the ball is life, anything is possible," said a very confident Jose as he was just proud that he and Puss got the amulet for Dulcinea, but Jose was wondering how the amulet even make it out of the Real of Shades but before he would further his thoughts, a crazy old man with a blue vest ran towards Jose and accidentally crashed him and Jose drops the necklace so high that Puss jump in cartwheel fashion and barely caught the amulet by reaching his sword and gets it to get the chains of the necklace. Puss went to see if Jose is alright.
"Take the necklace out of here. You will doom us all. Please, Jose, Puss get that thing out of here," said the old man as he ran quickly and left the conversation while Puss and Jose were confused and shocked that the old man knew their names, and Puss had a thought about the old man's identity.
"Jose, I thought I saw Artrhipheous," said Puss as he thought the olf man loomed a lot like the mace he knew before he was Sino.
"There is no way. Sino is in San Lorenzo. Maybe it was a look-alike old man," said Jose as he wasn't feeling Puss' theory.
"Mhh, Let us go and see Dulcinea," said a very detective Puss as he has the feeling that the old man is telling the truth.
"Okay," said Jose as the two friends went on their way to meet up with Dulcinea.
The two friends walked around the plaza looking for Dulcinea. Suddenly, people were running towards the basketball court for no reason.
"Excuse me, can you tell me why everyone is going to that basketball court?" said a very intrigued Jose to a child as he and Puss were wondering the cause of this sudden movement.
"Hurry up, you two, somebody is making eighty threes in arrow and she is about to break the record!" said the child as he rushed right back to his path with excitement running through his veins as Jose and Puss looked at each other like two smarty pants knowing who is behind all of this.
"Oh shit. Dulcinea," both Jose and Puss said knowing that it might be Dulcinea shooting all those shots. They rushed to the court and they see Dulcinea shooting the basketball, as everyone watching her are stunned and on their feet, as they can't believe that she is making eighty-eighth straight threes, twelve more and the record for most consecutive shots made is hers. As she is shooting, her friends and the rest of the crowd were cheering for her and started their countdown.
"Eighty-nine, ninety, ninety-one, ninety-two, ninety-three, ninety-four, ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine," everyone said as Dulcinea couldn't miss. She shoots her last shot as everyone is breathless to see her shot, as Jose and Puss hold each other's hands like this was a life or death move. The ball goes up, it begins to fall down.
"ONE HUNDRED!!!" everyone screamed as they quickly ran towards Dulcinea as she breaks the all-time record, as Jose and Puss jumped around in celebration like two kids. They went to see Dulcinea but the fans were too much to get a clear view of her as she was didn't know what to do. Jose and Puss cut in line and grabs Dulcinea so that the people weren't going to bother her for a while.
"Santa Felina, you did it!" said Puss as he hugged Dulcinea and spun her like they won a championship game.
"How did you even know the concept of playing basketball?" said a confused and emotionally psyched Jose as he couldn't believe that Dulcinea, a cat that doesn't play basketball or even heard of the sport, was able to make one hundred consecutive threes.
"Well, you don't know everything about me, you guys. Also, I saw how you made that shot from far away. And it was easy, all you need to do was shot the ball over the hoop. It was all mechanics of your arms, great aiming, and luck," said a very happily Dulcinea as she was humming a tune afterward while Puss and Jose still couldn't believe this just happened, like two guys not believing that a weak student got an A 100% grade in all its classes. The gang walked around the plaza and saw various musicians playing. In the far right where the group of rappers Jose hated so much.
"Yo, Yo, Yo, look who we got here," said Robin pointing at the gang as they saw them.
"It's a group of idiots who think that they are the real deal, yo," said Beast Boy, has he was mocking Puss, Jose, and Dulcinea as the three didn't give much attention to them.
"Yeah, they think they cool cause they shoot basketballs thinking that they are a bunch of real steels," said Cyborg as Jose grow boring by their freestyle rap.
"Let's go," said a very bored Jose as Puss and Dulcinea agreed as they don't want any trouble.
"Yeah, you big idiot, walk away with Catbitch and Whorerinea, three wheels," said Robin as suddenly Jose stopped, and Puss and Dulcinea were very insulted but their emotions quickly changed by turning to Jose, as they gave each other an "Uh Oh," face as Jose was shaking his hands in an angry way, his turned his head down, and laughed sarcastically as he wished Robin should not have said that because, as Puss as gets insulted by dissing his boots and swords, and Dulcinea for calling her Goody Two Shoes, Jose as his own buttons that only he takes action when he gets insulted by saying two little things: calling him a third wheel to Puss and Dulcinea, but that doesn't bother him at all, but insulting Puss and Dulcinea, well it gets very personal.
"You want attention, huh? Okay, let's do this. I'll freestyle you, three sons of bithces," said a very angry Jose as the three rappers were laughing at the fact that Jose got his feelings hurt that they accepted the challenge, as the crowd quickly joined to watch the freestyle battle.
"Should we stop him?" said Puss in a very weird way, as if he knows Jose going to take it too far, judging from the fact how much Jose uses music as a weapon because his uses music to express himself, and even motivates himself to go forward in life.
"Nah, it is too late for that. Besides, we already lost him the moment this kid said those words," said Dulcinea as she and Puss agreed. Robin throws the mic at Jose like a cocky competitor being too overconfident at his opponent while Jose put his death stare on looking at Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg like Jose has a mamba mentality, a viper ready to strike.
(upbeat tempo on)
"You shouldn't have said that. Okay.
You think you guys are cool, heck doesn't be a fool cause you guys sick and it's time someone put your assses in your places and take you to school. Wow, cannot believe you called my friend a Catbitch, punk maybe you take your words back before I punch you till your breathless and after that I don't give a fuck. Your show is trash everyone hates it, you come to insult my friends why is that? Oh, it's because you guys are desperate for attention. And your fast verse sucks, so let teach you how it's done and it is not luck, it's me don't give a fuck like me balling at a court
(Fast verse beat on. Speaking in 250mph)
"Break this beat take a seat feeling all stiff let me see every bitch getting stitched by a bee that stings you should flee before I kick your accessory in Burger King you can't sing I'm a witch as you can see I'm Super C because you can't see me And I see your trembling because you challenged a demon and I know unleashing its fury like a fucking Green Goblin and know I got you countless heridas cause I'm not missing my shots like Merida." Jose stopped his freestyle as the rappers were scared, watching the crowd screaming in awe by Jose's rap style, but to their minds, they see the crowd laughing at them as if they were clowns, and Dulcinea and Puss were on their feet as of they knew this would happen as they went to the nearest store to by Jose some water
"I am not done," said Jose as the DJ brought the beat back.
(Upbeat music on)
Now you people learned your lesson, you guys are not free, you will get destroyed for you disturbing my peace, You a joke and you know it, that's why my fans will say those two words to your foes, and that's a big fat Suck it, hoes, Beast Boy your a clown in a green face paint, I hate that you have to be the type of idiot I have to slay, Cyborg, I thought you were Mister Boom Boom blaster in your town, but in here you are just Mister Disaster with no sound, and Robin you call me a third wheeler when you just Batman sidekick dealer, And before you go and come at me like weak schoolbus, don't forget that I killed you bitches like an accident at the circus. Now leave me alone, and let me have my flow be on my way because while you guys get all boring with your skills, I will be over there, enjoying Dulcinea's birthday, Before I go let me say this as a parting gift: Beast Boy is a pet alien call Stich, Cyborg you're a glitch, and Robin, you always be Batman's bitch!" Jose finished his freestyle as he drops the mic, walks away from the stage and goes on his way to meet Puss and Dulcinea to the store the two cats were, they gave Jose water, and they all went back on their way to go the restaurant; as Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg got the mic but they were shaking like three friends seeing the boogeyman. The fans were still screaming as they were impressed by Jose's rap, and the three Dutch bags cried ran away as they were humiliated by one man who just wanted to enjoy his day.
"Kinda took it too far, don't you think?" said Dulcinea as he loomed at Jose like a face someone makes when a friend was a total show off.
"A little bit," said a very calmed down Jose as Dulcinea and Puss put their sarcastic agreed faces on.
"We are here, Finally, nothing can go wrong from here," said Puss as the gang arrived at the restaurant.
"Let's hope so," said a very excited Dulcinea as the gang entered the restaurant.
"Yes let us go, and for God sake, Jose, watch that language," said an excited, but protective Puss as he gives Jose the father treatment.
"Yeah, that's not going away anytime soon," said Jose as the three friends entered the restaurant. The waiter came in and led them to their table. The gang ordered three plays of sea steaks as the waiter came in to give the order to the chefs. While they made the food, Puss, Jose, and Dulcinea spent minutes talking about their time in Barcelona, their fun time there, and a couple of other topics while Jose looked at Puss and Dulcinea very happily like a boy enjoying his non-violent time. The food came and all three friends ate the food like three starving kids. After they ate the meal, Dulcinea left so that she could go to the restroom.
"Jose, there is something I must tell you," said Puss as he gets a bit of hesitated for a moment.
"Yeah, sure Puss. What is it?" said Jose.
"Well, it is between me and Dulcinea. It is been two years since we have been together, well three months if you count undoing all my adventures in San Lorenzo, but that is not the point. The point is that I do not know how I can take the next step. You see, I have been known to be Mr. Friesky Two Times and the Ginger Hitler, but that was before I have met Dulcinea, and I have been very shy about our relationship. Sure we have kissed sometimes but that was because we both passed out and we did have that chance again we were interrupted by anything. Can you help a buddy out?" said Puss in a very emotional way, as he would want to know what is the best way to take the next step but couldn't quite make the jump, like someone who is afraid to take the next chapter in his life.
"Look Puss, I'm no love expert, but I'll try to help you. Love is a tricky game, and when it comes to you two, it's as trickiest as it gets. The times you were with other cats is because of you and other cats were Yin, too much disbalance. But with Dulcinea, you guys are a Yin and a Yan, you share a part of Dulcinea's kindness because she had taught you to be kinder, and Dulcinea has a part of you because you have taught her to be stronger. And the amount of time you two were in San Lorenzo helps my case because you build your relationship as friends, but then it changes to a bromance, and then you went to couples, and the best part is that you both were shy about it because it tells you how much you love each other. I can understand you are still figuring out this being with one catlady for all my life routine but it takes time to change and maybe you cannot take the next step because you still have that cat swagger you had with the ladies. Don't force it as you did at the bathroom of my former ship, just take it slow. Remember how you managed to be with her, it was because you two were shy about each other's feelings and you took it slow with her. She is a strong person, you know how gentle she is, and how you two enjoy your adventures together. Like I said I'm no expert, but my best medicine to your sickness is this: be yourselves. Keep building up your relationship with Dulcinea furthermore, don't rush it, and let your heart be your guide," said Jose as those words caught Puss like Cupid's arrow, suddenly Puss' expression changed from a desperate person to a guy that saw an answer to all his problems.
"Thank you, Jose. I cannot be grateful enough," said a very grateful Puss as his face is nothing but smiles as well as a smile that he is feeling it inside.
"Ah, no big. I'm just here to help you guys anytime," said Jose as he gives Puss a high five.
"Well, that was interesting if I do say so myself," said a very optimistic old man, the same old man that crashed through Jose, as he appears and Jose and Puss were confused.
"Why are you following us old man?" said Jose with every bit of questions going through his mind.
"What's wrong? Never seen an old mage in his alter ego before, Jose," said the old man as Puss and Jose were in awe of the old man answer because they knew there is only one mage who knows Jose, Puss, and Dulcinea.
"Si. Sino?" a very surprised Puss said as his whiskers were shaking at the suspense.
"Yes, and I must say, I'm very surprised only one of you noticed my disguise," said a very hurt Sino as he got his feelings hurt because no one but Puss knew his alter ego, Arthipheous.
"Ah Ha, I knew it!" said the very prideful Puss as he points at Jose and gives him the I told you so expression on his face.
"Why are you here?" Jose asks Sino.
"I'm here because it has come to my attention that I sense danger coming and it has something to do with the amulet and that dream," said Sino as Jose quickly changed his expression to more high alerted face tone because of Sino's claims.
"A dream? About a woman in a lilac dress with blue eyes?" Jose said as in a desperate way.
"Yes. Wait, have had those dreams?" Sino said as he was surprised that Jose has had those dreams.
"Yeah, but I think those are nightmares or visions," said Jose as Puss was all ears for this conversation.
"It is not one or the other, Jose, Puss. It is a flashback from someone's past, back when I was still the protector of San Lorenzo before I faced the Bloodwolf. I started to have those dreams a while back but something blocking me from seeing the woman as if I erased her from my memory but I haven't seen her before in my life. The only explainable reason why you are having a full glimpse of the woman Jose is that it has something to do with you being the Blue Tulpa. I sensed somebody from a faraway land or time that is known to absorb powers and reads everyone's minds will go after you, Jose, and everyone you love because what you hold in your mind could mean a key to discovering something big, and in enemy hands, it could spell doom for the world," said Sino as he explains his thoughts on the situation.
"But that is impossible. Everyone knows Jose had a nightmare, but that doe not explain why everyone is after Jose just cause of one woman in a dream," said a very confused Puss.
"Unless I'm not the real threat. What if the woman, the clothes, the white hair, blue eyes are key to a puzzle. Sino did she had a symbol?" Jose said as he had an idea volt on his head, but he is very uncertain of the consequences or effects of the answer Sino might give him.
"Jose, it had a symbol. Four straight lines on her forehead, as if it was some sort of animal," said Sino as Jose was having a panic attack. Suddenly his head was shaking as if he was playing various flashbacks of his nightmares in a row, like a broken disc playing over and over again. He screamed in pain as he falls down the table as everyone was worried at Jose.
"Jose, talk to me!" Puss yelled trying to help the very emotionally mentally Jose as Jose saw the woman transforms into something with four fingers in a chamber wearing that same lilac dress and a mage said one word.
"White," Jose snaps back to reality as he was gasping for air and Puss and Sino were trying to calm down.
"Jose what did you see?" said Puss.
"I saw the woman in a chamber and a mage and he said wh. whi.," said, Jose, as he was so unstable right now that he saw the need for saving someone, the look of desperation in his eyes, his hands shaking like a man losing a child and couldn't get past the pain, his heart beating like a time bomb.
"What did he say?" said Sino as he and Puss were anxious to find out Jose's last word.
"He said, White," said Jose as Sino and Puss were in shocked and in disbelief that it could mean one thing.
"Do you think someone is after..?" said Puss with a serious look in his eyes.
"Oh no," Sino said as he interrupted Puss for a moment as he gives Puss and Jose a look.
"Holy Shit. Don't tell me.." said Jose with a lot of fear in his eyes as he can only think of one candidate somebody will be after for that important information.
Dulcinea just finished doing her cat stuff in the women's restroom. She looks down as she is starting to watch her hands. As she looks up the mirror she sees a strange cat behind her, wearing a mask, with red eyes, about the same height, and sizes of her eyes and ears as her, wearing a black empress war armor and was growling as if she wants blood.
"Excuse me, are you okay?" said Dulcinea in a soft, worry, but calmed voice as the mystery cat as she raises her sword to strike Dulcinea, bit her dodges the attack. The attacker quickly started to strike again with furious attacks but Dulcinea dodges them all before the attacker delivers a highly powerful quick to the stomach as Dulcinea sent flying and crashes through the doors all the way to the chef's room as Jose, Puss, and Sino, sees the people running in fear as they see the evil attacker coming through.
"Dulcinea!" Puss screamed as he sensed she was in trouble and wasted no time to raise his sword and charged at the enemy.
"Shit! Little help Sino?" said Jose as he figures out who the attacker is after.
"I can't. If I reveal myself, it will capture me for that information! And don't use your powers because if you do that it will absorb your powers except for your immortality!" Sino said as Jose was furious about it because he is like a sitting duck without his weapons.
"Just help us only Arthipeous?, I will call you Arthy, yeah. Help us the way only Arthy would do," said Jose as he tries to go for his clock-transform weapon but forgot that he left his clock-weapon at home.
"Fuck! Well, time to go old school," said Jose as he takes off his glasses, gets his hand gloves on his right hand on, and rushes in to fight the enemy barehanded.
Puss and the attacker were fencing with their swords back in forth like it was a lightsaber battle, but the evil cat struck Puss with a kick in his body, as she was about to kill him but Jose kicker her weapon out of harm's way but the attacker had a small dagger and quickly went at Jose with various acrobatics with the dagger on hopes to catch him off guard, but Jose was quick enough to counter those attacks. The attacker hit Jose with various left and rights but Jose delivers a highly effective uppercut that knocks her down but she landed close to her sword. As soon as Jose jumps to continue his attacks she immediately used a shock wave in her weaponry to knock Jose in the owner's table, as she recovers well enough so that she can get her sword and deliver a killer blow but Sino helps Jose in the most Arthipheous way possible: throwing plates at her.
"Begone, you vile beast!" said Sino's alter ego in a scary way, like an actor pretending to be scared, as the villain wasn't impressed or even touched by the old man's effort.
"Thanks!" said Puss and a recovered Dulcinea as the villain was distracted as the two heroes delivered superkicks to the vile beast, as Jose recovers from his damage and loads his right hand like it was a gun and delivers a very powerful running Superman Punch as he stunned the villain to on top of a table as Dulcinea took a step back to plan something very dangerous.
"I need a boost," she commands as Jose had his knees bent down like a stair and Puss took Dulcinea's arms to perform an Irish whip. Puss pushes Dulcinea as she caught massive speed, steps on Jose's back and delivers a powerful Spear on the enemy breaking the glass of the window as Sino, Pus, and Jose rushed to help her but Jose was stopped by the owner of the restaurant.
"Hey, you. You better have insurance!" said the mad owner as he only cared about himself above the situation, as Jose gets the owner to get back up in a very pissed off way.
"Okay, look at this paper, I'm buying your store. five billion dollars" said, Jose, as the owner was livid.
"You don't even have that!" said the owner.
"Here is my Gmail name, the company I work,y bank account, etc. Now get out my store and shut the hell up while we handle this situation. Thank you and have a nice day," said Jose in the funniest way as he left the restaurant in the most swag way, like Bruce Wayne buying a farm like it was nothing, as the owner was stunned at Jose's total earnings.
Back outside of the restaurant, as everyone from the carnival left in fear as the fight takes it outside and left because they didn't want to get hurt in any way, Dulcinea slowly tries to get off the opponent's body as she received heavy damage from that Spear she connected. She became curious about the cat's mask and as soon as she tries to take it off the already knocked out opponent, the evil cat awakes her devilish red eyes and grabs Dulcinea's right arm, locks her two legs into the surprised Dulcinea's back and inverts her into a Kochina Lock as Dulcinea was screaming in pain at the hold. As Dulcinea was trying to escape with no success, the attacker grabs the dagger to strike Dulcinea, but Dulcinea was aware of that and she tries to get up by using her legs and left arm. The enemy was surprised that Dulcinea had this much strength to lift herself and Dulcinea up, like a wrestler carrying two big men up in a shoulder boulder, but the evil cat had the dagger as she was about to strike Dulcinea as Puss and Sino was too late to do anything about it, but Jose saw what was happening and using his quick thinking, he uses the plates as a weapon to hit the attacker in the face countless times, and Puss saw the opportunity to get his sword and throws it at the evil cat's left hand, knocking the dagger away as Dulcinea throws the evil cat in Jose's position as Jose delivers a piece of the cat's medicine: knocking her away with her own shock wave weapon.
"You should use arrows more often," said a very lucky Dulcinea as she was hurt by the effects of the arm lock as she was getting fatigued.
"What am I? a red-headed girl with bow and arrow and always hits the target?" said a very exhausted Jose as he was making a reference to someone with red hair and uses a bow and arrow as Sino, Puss, and Dulcinea looked at each other and looked yes in their heads as Jose was surprised and gives an unbelievable look on his face as he goes outside by stepping on the broken windows of an already destroyed restaurant.
"I think it is time to negotiate your surrender, you devilish fiend," said Puss as Jose closed his fists hard, Sino transforms himself from his alter ego to his true form, Dulcinea puts on a mean stare while she does a fighting pose while Puss raised his sword on the villain's neck.
"Hehe, you guys think that this is over?" said the villain as she looks in front of the heroes as her mask is broken and the looks and voice reminded the heroes a voice that everyone is so familiar as they were stunned by the identity of the villain: Dulcinea.
"Where are you from, why do you want with Dulcinea? I demand to know!" said Puss as he put a frighten Dulcinea behind his back while remaining on guard, like a prince protecting the princess from all sorts of dangers.
"Goddammit, Your twin brother warned me about your tough guy routine. And it's not where more like when," said the very disgust devil version of Dulcinea as Puss was stunned at her answer: Twin brother? could she is referring to...
"No. That is impossible! He vanished from the face of the universe, I defeated him myself!" said a very angry as his thoughts quickly changed to one man, the one man that caused such burden in his soul that he thought Puss extinguish that burden a long time ago.
"Well, he could have been if had not been for him stealing that mercuric chalk from that wizard fool," said evil Dulcinea as she laughs diabolically as Sino realizes who might be responsible for this manhunt, or cathunt, on Dulcinea.
"So you're from another timeline? said, Jose, as the evil Dulcinea nodded yes.
"Who is your superior? Answer me, so I can go wherever the fuck, and whoop his ass!" said a very determined and mad Jose, as he sees this villain as a threat to those he loves and he is beginning to understand why he is getting those nightmares. Before anyone could do something to evil Dulcinea a grenade was hit below them and everyone got out of the way as the explosion hits but Darth Dulcinea used a shield to protect herself from the grenade. The heroes are feeling hurt and their ears were sounded very loud, like a broken volume that makes them go all confused that doesn't know where they are, by the explosion as a spaceship on top of them shows up and reveals three masked men pointing their guns to stun as they stunned Puss and Sino, as the big boss arrives to help his lady get up.
"Did you miss me?" said the big cat boss with devilish eyes.
"Oh come here," said Darth Dulcinea as they kissed each other as Dulcinea slowly trying to get back up but cannot succeed on doing it as she took too much damaged and was very fatigued.
"Is she is causing trouble?" said the very intrigued cat as he walks towards a very near passed out Dulcinea and touches her face.
"Let. Her. Go. This is between you and. Me," said Puss in his last breath as the stun gun was enough for him to be unconscious like a hero giving everything he has in the tank but has finally run out of gas; as the masked villain lets go of Dulcinea and walks on a weak Puss and grabs his face with his paws and looks at the Nomad with evil intentions.
"Should have thought of that before you went into my world and ended my reign. I don't play by your rules because Puss, you of all people should know, I play dirty," said a very thirst for vengeance villain as just by that quote Puss knew that he is alive: his evil counterpart, Evil Puss, the Blind King.
"But since I'm nothing like you, brother here is my eyes. Do you believe me now?" said the cocky Evil Puss as he takes off his eye mask, but not his face mask, to show his eyes as he laughs with such despicableness; his eyes are no longer black, it is more black and red as it represents who he is: red is for his thirst for blood, and black represents darkness into the eyes of his opponents. As Puss tries to move, Evil Puss just leave him on the ground as he knows Puss is way too weak to do anything, as well as Sino, and Jose.
"Got my capture ray?" said the devilish cat.
"Yes," said Darth Dulcinea as they both kissed each other like two warlord couples.
"You. Won't. Get. Away. With this," said a very defiant Dulcinea as she crawled all the way back to touch Evil Puss' boots.
"Oh, darling. I already have," said Evil Puss as he punts Dulcinea with his boots as Puss watched helplessly as his love gets beaten down like a rag doll by his evil counterpart, as inside him it built a monster that he wanted to unleash so bad for hurting Dulcinea. As Dulcinea tires to get up slowly, Evil Puss fires up the ray, he pulls the trigger as it is about to hit Dulcinea but a bold boy got just a bit of strength left to let himself get captured to spare Dulcinea. Dulcinea watching close as her friend saves her as she starting to drop some tears.
"Please, Jose, don't do this!" said Dulcinea as her body was shaking by the damage she has taken, her paws grabbing the dirt hard like grabbing someone so hard but doesn't want to let go, as Jose looks at her with a lot of calm like there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Don't come back for me," said Jose as he tries to protect Dulcinea by leaving her and not allowing her to come back to save him, as he was okay from the outside, but inside, he was crying, anguish because he has to leave the one thing he calls it family, but at the same time he feels that it is the right thing to d to protect them, like the man used to say: the hardest choices requires the strongest of wills.
"Let's take him. I sense promise in this boy. Forget about her, she is useless. We will get our shot a revenge, but right now I have bigger fish to fry. Adios," said Evil Puss as he stops his and Darth Dulcinea's revenge plot as they take Jose away on his ship, as Dulcinea watches helplessly her friend being capture, she runs toward a very weak Puss as Sino gets up. Dulcinea sits down, puts Puss' head on her chest, like an ill person sleeping on a soft pillow, as Dulcinea is still crying for Jose.
"What have I done?" a very emotional Dulcinea said as she believes that this is her fault Jose got captured.
"You did all you could to save him and everyone. This time it was his moment to save you," said Sino as he touches Dulcinea's back to comfort her.
"Dulcinea. He will not break Jose. I promise you, on my life, We will save him. This. I. Swear." said Puss as he got just enough strength to say those words that worked as a wake-up call for Dulcinea, suddenly, her sadness has changed to a more calm attitude inside, not much because she is still hurt inside, but it is a start.
"Let's take Puss to your home," said Sino as he carries Puss and opens a quick portal to leave the already broken place, a shell of what this beautiful restaurant was. As Sino leaves with Puss, Dulcinea crosses her paws in a prayer form as she looks to the stars and wishes for one thing as if it was a wishing star as her voice was broken by everything that has happened on her birthday, but even through all that, she never gives up on her morals and wish for one thing with all her heart, like a thunder striking loud so everyone could hear his pain, before she left Barcelona to go to her house and attend Puss in Boots.
"Please, guide Jose. Protect him until we come and save him,"
On the ship, Jose gets handcuff by three henchmen. One of them injects him with a serum of some sorts as Jose started to get dizzy.
"Show me who the boss is!" Jose demanded the presence of the boss, as he was unconscious when the villain was revealed.
"Since you are as impatient as him. Here I am," said Evil Puss as he takes off his face mask to reveal himself to a very angry but surprised Jose.
"You got to be fucking kidding me," said Jose as he was shocked that the boss was actually Evil Puss, as the evil counterpart of his friend punches Jose and knocks him out cold. Evil Puss goes to the pilot room and gets ready to set coordinates with Darth Dulcinea.
"Where to, my love? said the devilish catlady.
"To Earth 18, Far Far Away," said Evil Puss as they set the hyperdrive and jumps through the space-time continuum to head to their world.
