The sun rises in the beautiful town of San Ricardo. It was nine in the morning and the people of San Ricardo were enjoying their lives very happily. Then, they looked upon outside of town as they heard three gallopings of horses passing just outside of town. They looked in awe as the saw Puss in Boots, Dulcinea, and Jose, all made to the gates of San Ricardo. They slowly walked through the gates and quickly reaches a huge standing ovation from the townspeople.

"Hey, it's Puss in Boots and his friends!" said one of the townfolks as they rapidly greeted their hero. Puss waves his paws sideways to greet the crowd, along with Dulcinea and Jose who were smiling for Puss in Boots.

"Ah, this feels like home," says Puss as he continued to salute his citizens who've once was his family. The feeling of being a symbol of honor was very important in San Ricardo that Puss will forever hold on in his heart.

"That's very true, Puss," says Dulcinea as she touches Puss' left paw and Puss softly smiles. Then, both cats and Jose made a stop, as one of the orphans, Edwin was there in the middle.

"Puss!" he said as he was running towards his hero. Puss chuckles and steps off Babieca to welcome Edwin with open paws.

"Edwin!" said Puss as Edwin happily hugs Puss and he went down by his hug. Puss smiles like he was a father Edwin never have, while Jose and Dulcinea chuckle by the lovely reunion.

"How is my favorite orphan doing today?" says a smiley Puss.

"Oh, I am doing great, Puss. Here, I made a drawing of you. Hope you like it," says Edwin as he draws a picture of Puss in Boots, Jose, and Dulcinea, all in their weapons posing and smiling like one big family. Puss smiles with all the love in the world, and Jose moans in excitement by Edwin's beautiful drawing.

"That is a lovely picture, my friend," says Puss as he rubs Edwin's forehead. Edwin giggles by his hero admiring his drawing.

"Thanks, Puss," Edwin replies.

"Edwin, have you seen Kitty?" Jose asks.

"She hasn't come back yet, Jose. She is adventuring, looking for something," Edwin answers as Dulcinea and Puss were curious by it.

"Thanks, Edwin. We will be heading to see El Comandante." Dulcinea says.

"Oh, let me guide you there, please?" says Edwin, eager to help his favorite heroes, as Jose, Dulcinea, and Puss laughs by his sweet voice.

"Okay, Edwin. Guide us!" Puss says, puffing his chest in pride, while Edwin guides his friends towards El Comandante. They reached the door, where Jose gladly opens it as Dulcinea, Puss, and Edwin walked past it while Jose came last and closed the door.

El Comandante was rounding up some thieves to imprison them for their bad actions. Then, he heard footsteps as some visitors came through the door. He checked it out, right after he let his commanders take the criminals away, and to his surprise, he sees Puss in Boots, Dulcinea, Jose, and Edwin, all walking by to visit him.

"Puss in Boots. You're back. What brings you here?" says Comandante.

"Well, my dear friend, we have come here to se if you can help us with this map," said Puss as he gives the Comandante the map they had a while ago. Dulcinea and Jose sat on some chairs, with Dulcinea standing up to her chair as she couldn't sit down, and Edwin holds Puss' paw like a cute boy as they all see the map being stretched and locked in by the Comandante's sword.

"Mhhm. The first part of this map... it leads you three to the cave of Santa Felipe. Second and third parts of this map it leads you to the temple just a few miles away from the mystic town of San Lorenzo, which doesn't exist anyways, and the deserts of San Monica. The last part of the map... I don't know where is at. It's completely blanked," said the Comandante, while the three friends looked at the map with curious looks and expressions on their faces.

"So, the cave of Santa Felipe is on that map?" said Jose with an oddly familiar expression look, in which Dulcinea took notice.

"Is something wrong, Jose?" she says as she was worried about Jose.

"It's just that... this place is where I used to play hide and seek with my parents," Jose said as the revelation of his past surprised Puss and Dulcinea. The Comandante and Edwin looked at Jose like two investigative guards.

"Really?" said Puss, which made him and Dulcinea looked at each other being concerned for Jose. They know how much his family meant to him. Because it meant the world, just like how Dulcinea and Puss in Boots mean so much to Jose.

"Yes. It was our favorite pass time as a kid. Mom and dad played there every sundown. I was a very active kid when I was a child. I played basketball with my father, read some old books with mom, but this cave, it holds so many memories. They told me that this was where they first met. They always had their honeymoons on this very cave. I can always feel them whenever I went to this cave, that was why I always found them playing hide and seek, hehe. But I haven't been there since... they passed away. Just with that feeling, I... I..."

Jose said as he was stuttering and cries a few tears. Edwin and Commandante felt a bit of his suffering, but none of them were as impactful as Puss and Dulcinea. They were feeling sad for their friend because they each know the feeling of losing the dearest ones in their lives. Dulcinea offers her right paw as Puss grabbed it, and lifts up to the chair that she's in order to get to him.

"Ah, cheer up. I am pretty sure your parents are very proud of the son you turned out to be. I am happy you still remember them," said a smiling Puss, while Jose looks at the two cats and wipes his tears off a bit, with a few sniffs as well.

"Puss' right, Jose. When as long as you remember your loved ones even in the nearest star, they will always be with you inside your heart," Dulcinea said as she and Puss smiles. Jose finishes wiping off his tears as Dulcinea's words helped him pulled through.

"God, you always come up with the best rhymes and wisdom, guys," said Jose as he hugs both Dulcinea and Puss. Edwin and the Comandante were happy to see Jose got his act together again. As they got off their hug, Jose stands up and see the map with an adventurous look on his face.

"Well, let us head to San Felipe!" he shouted very proudly. But Puss, Dulcinea, the Comandante, and Edwin looked at each other and were confused by what Jose meant as if he mispronounced the name of the town.

"Um, it's pronounced Santa Felipe, Jose," said Edwin as Jose looked unpleased by his own mistake, while Dulcinea and Puss, along with Edwin and the Comandante giggles.

"Eh, who cares? Santa Felipe, here we come!" Jose said it correctly, puffing his chest with pride, while Puss was jumping in excitement and Dulcinea claps with her eyes as wide open as an imaginative cat with great dreams.

"Huzzah!" said Puss, puffing his own chest in pride.

"Awesome! Now let's go get Kitty, and begin our journey," said Dulcinea, smiling through her big and beautiful eyes.

"Good. May you have a great adventure, and be safe," says the Comandante as he hands Puss their map.

"Gracias, Comandante. We will achieve victory in this amazing adventure my friends and I, in which no time traveling and interdimensional adventures will be as our main problem, hehe," says Puss with such certainty, while Jose and Dulcinea laugh off at Puss' enthusiasm.

Jose, Puss in Boots, and Dulcinea were leaving the room as they entered back outside of San Ricardo. Edwin was running towards Puss as Puss saw him but quickly gets a surprise hug from Edwin.

"Please be careful, Puss," said Edwin while giving Puss his own big eyes thing. Puss smiles at the little boy and rubs his hair.

"Do not worry, Edwin. I, Puss in Boots, will be careful and will come back for you. This I swear!" said a prideful Puss in Boots as Edwin was beyond happy. He waved Puss, Jose, and Dulcinea goodbyes as he was running towards the orphanage, because it was twelve in the afternoon.

As the three friends were smiling by their long conversation back there, they gasped in awe as they see Kitty Softpaws walking towards a cantina. But something was odd. Kitty had her head down like she was feeling droopy and sad about something.

"That's weird. Why would Kitty go to the human's Cantina? Shouldn't she go to the cat's Cantina?" said Dulcinea as she was worried about her. But then, she and her friends were very observant as they see five very seemingly armed masked thugs entering the same cantina as they are about to hit Kitty.

"Let's go," said Jose as they all agree. The three friends entered the cantina like three fearful vigilantes. They each took small footsteps as everyone didn't say a word.

"One leche, por favor," said a very uncheerful Kitty as the bartender delivers her a glass of milk. As she was drinking it, the five thugs were ready to strike her with five swords.

"We would like three glass of leche to accompany the pretty cat, please," Puss in Boots said as he, Jose, and Dulcinea comes to the aid of Kitty Softpaws, who gasps in surprise as she was happy to see them. The five thugs were frustrated by this turn of events, so they hide their weapons and find a place to lay low, but to their mistake, they didn't notice that Jose, Puss, and Dulcinea were aware of their plans. Only they cared for Kitty.

"So, Kitty. What brings you back here?" said Puss as Kitty quickly took notice of the ginger cat's tactics to persuade the thugs.

"I was traveling, looking for someone, instead I brought uninvited guests," Kitty replies as one of the black masked thugs was listening closely to the conversation.

"Where did you traveled?" Jose asked softly. Kitty then goes by Jose's left ear to tell a secret.

"I went to San Felipe thing to find my uncle," she says as this mysterious journey she went caught everyone's attention.

"Kitty? Um, who is your uncle?" Dulcinea said as Kitty took a deep breath, like as if the news is still new to her.

"My uncle... it told me that it was some... Guante Blanco," Kitty confesses.

"What?!" Puss in Boots and Dulcinea were shocked. Jose didn't act as surprised as they were because he doesn't know who this Guante Blanco is.

"Excuse me, who this Guante Blanco?" says a confused Jose.

"El Guante Blanco is, well he was my old master. He rescued me back where I was first exiled from San Ricardo, and he helped me become a better swordsman ever since. We parted ways when he thought that he could not teach me anymore like the student had surpassed my master, hehe," said Puss as Kitty was surprised her supposed uncle knows Puss.

"Wait, did he ever told you about a niece?" said Kitty as Puss waved his head sideways, signaling that Guante Blanco never told him about Kitty.

"Dulcinea, you seem like you've met him more than once," said Kitty as she now turns desperate for clues.

"Well, Kitty. You see..." she said before Jose kindly interrupted her.

"Kitty, I feel like Guante Blanco was another of Puss and Dulcinea's friends who were erased by Sino's magic. He probably doesn't remember Dulcinea, but maybe he knows Puss. If we tell them about his heroics before the spell, I don't know if that could break the space-time continuum. So, we don't really talk to people we've met in the past cause if we did, we would have gotten the Senior Puss Squad back together again," said Jose as it killed off any conversation Kitty had to Guante Blanco.

"But..." said Puss as his words were like it clicked a new hope now sparked through Kitty's soul.

"We can help you find him. We want to find a treasure called the Chaos Emeralds, and maybe you could help us. I am sure we will find my old maestro when we reach Santa Felipe, Kitty," said Puss as he holds her paws dearly.

He smiles at his friend, while Kitty was suddenly I interested in the idea. But then, using their cat instincts, they slowly draw their swords as the five thugs were slowly approaching because they heard enough to think that they can kill them. Jose and Dulcinea slowly prepared as well.

"What's the plan?" said Jose as he and Dulcinea smirks.

"Well, I guess we can..." said Puss as he rapidly draws his sword and defends Kitty from two thugs. Kitty then draws her dagger and kicks one of them away as she and Puss fight off two of the five thugs.

Everyone was crazy as the bar now turned into a streetfight.

"Come here, you!" said one of the thugs as Jose uses his lasso to take his sword away without even looking. Jose and Dulcinea had finished their glasses of milk and were bored by their opponents.

"So you take those two..."

"Yeah," Both Jose and Dulcinea were agreeing on who would face the two remaining thugs. Dulcinea hopps off her chair and set up her stance as she clinches her fist and let out a determined look, ready to face the two mysterious criminals.

"You will never defeat the..." said the arrogant thug who had his sword stolen by Jose as he rapidly comes after him, but was scared because Jose activated his right hand and turn it into lighting. Jose grabs him by the left hand onto his chest and throws him up to deliver a thunder right-hand punch that crashed through the bottles and everything in the cantina.

"This should be good," Jose jokingly said as he got another glass of milk and sees the hellbound destruction everyone was doing, all because the five thugs wanted to put a hit in Kitty. Then, in the very middle of it, two thugs drawer their swords and was ready to take on Dulcinea, who had her eyes closed. Didn't drew her sword, either.

"We are going to enjoy destroying g you, Goody Two Shoes!" said one thug as the chuckle like stupid villains. Jose slaps himself as he knew they have made a mistake.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you two," Jose warns them, while the two thugs didn't listen and swung his sword onto Dulcinea.

The two thugs were shocked as Dulcinea grabbed both their swords with her eyes closed. Her paws were slowly turning white as she was burning their swords. Jose stood there and drink his milk like a friend who knows that his bestie got this.

"Don't hurt my friends," Dulcinea said with an angry tone all of a sudden, then she opens her eyes as they showed her full white powered eyes and completely breaks the swords with her paws. The thugs were scared as they see Dulcinea in half her powers. Dulcinea then uses her white paws to deliver a very powerful punch to one of them and send him flying through many walls. The other drew his gun out of desperation and fear, and Dulcinea dodged the bullet and Jose quickly used his also to hit his right-hand dropping the gun in the process. Dulcinea then hits him with a jumping tornado kick to the side of the head and knocks him out cold.

"Come on Dulcinea! We must help Puss and Kitty!" said Jose as he got up and run out of the cantina, which Dulcinea agreed on and followed him, leaving the countless people fighting like a broken bar. The guards then came there to control the situation, and quickly apprehend the thug lying on the ground.

"Those three can sure make a lot of noise!" said the Comandante as he was a bit mad but he was smirking by the idea that it was Puss in Boots and his friends behind this unbelievable dilemma.

Meanwhile, outside of San Ricardo, the townspeople were locking themselves in their houses to cover themselves from all this drama. Swords clangs were heard as louder as a speaker at the three thugs were battling Puss in Boots and Kitty Softpaws. The five swordsmen were countering each other's moves and attacks.

"Hold still, you!" said one of the thugs as he was trying to hit Puss hard, but Puss was picking up his intensity and speed to counter those. Then, the thug did a fatal move as Puss got into his sword still and smirks in amazement.

"Now I am still," the prideful ginger said as he swung the thug's sword, usee both his hands like a trampoline and hit him on the neck with a cartwheel kick, followed by a powerful side kick to his chest that made him sent flying and hit one of his partners, who were battling in a two on one assault against Kitty.

"No!" said the tallest masked thug as he set up his stance, while Puss walks to accompany Kitty. She smiles and was feeling very happy like a memory repeating itself, as she didn't had this much fun with Puss alone since their adventures for the Golden Eggs.

"You will not harm anyone in San Ricardo ever again! Leave, or face the wrath of Puss in Boots!" said Puss as he set his stance and growls at the villainous thug, ready to fight both cats. But he didn't had his sword somehow.

"What, how...?"

"Looking for this?" As Kitty showed him that she had his sword because she used her softpaws. She smirks as she throws it away from his reach. She and Puss made certain movements that made their bones cracks, but they smiled as they prepare to attack this defenseless criminal with the huge growls.

Kitty Softpaws and Puss in Boots were attacking this poor thug everywhere. The thug screamed in pain as Puss and Kitty were hitting them everywhere with their unstoppable cat styles of close combat. Right hooks, left stomps uppercuts, kicks, and using their speed to slam the taller foe were enough for Kitty and Puss to finish off one of the threats menacing their home of San Ricardo.

"Just like old times, right?" said Kitty, while Puss gasps in surprise. He was so focused on fighting those thugs that he never really felt like he missed a beat with Kitty. So he gives her a big smile, one who appreciates a friend despite they were once lovers, but that didn't mean that it was the end of the world for them.

"Puss! Kitty!"Jose and Dulcinea shouted as Puss and Kitty saw them running towards them.

"Are you two okay?" said Dulcinea as Puss smiles and Kitty does the same. Dulcinea was relieved and Jose gasps in huge gladness. But they were curious as two of the thugs Puss and Kitty defeated weren't there, on the entrance of the San Ricardo motel.

"Stop!" said the voice of one of the threatening thugs who got knocked over by Puss and Kitty, and was holding Edwin hostage. Puss, Kitty, Dulcinea, a d Jose drew them swords at the thug, but the sinister coward usee Edwin as bait to force them into hesitation. Puss was beyond sad and fearful as he couldn't believe this thug was vile and heartless enough to even consider holding an orphan as a hostage, especially a hostage as sweet as Edwin.

"Edwin!" said Puss as he wanted to save him before his friends stopped him because this thug summoned his gun and pointed at the back of his head.

"Puss!" Edwin screamed as he was crying in fear. He tried to move around, but the thug was squeezing him by holding his shoulders upon his neck.

"Please, do not hurt him! I am begging you!" said Puss as he falls to his knees and begged for him to not hurt Edwin. Dulcinea and Kitty were sad seeing Puss like this, but Jose had like a trance as he had seen this before.

"Drop your swords and weapons. Now!" The thug order the heroes to drop their weapons or the child could die.

"Do what he says, por favor," said a protective Puss as Dulcinea and Kitty put their swords down and raised their paws up. Jose throws his swords away, right behind the thug, but he looked at him very seriously.

"Who are you?" said Jose as his friends were confused. The soldier laughs as he was thinking about shooting Jose in the head.

"I am but a member of the New World Order, but our name is classified. I have killed everyone in my path, so I will do it to this boy if you don't give us the map," said the thug as his intention were clear.

"Jose! Please do something!" Edwin cries as Jose felt a little pressure and he didn't want to let the boy nor Puss down.

"How many did you kill?" said Jose, closing his fists with a dark tone, while the aggressor unclicked the safe of the gun and was ready to shoot Jose.

"Jose!" said Dulcinea, Puss, and Kitty as they were scared for a moment.

"I have killed everyone, but most of them were boring. The only ones I was excited to kill was a father and his son. I murdered that piece of garbage with his own sword, while the boy... well, I threw him away to drown to the river. This dreaded cave will..." said the thug as he was gloating his life's achievements before...

"The cave of Santa Felipe... isn't it? Was this person you killed was a bearded light-skinned father with long hair, and the boy was light-skinned with short hair? " said Jose, while big lighting streaks flowed through his hands and body, and was giving the thug a death start in which Puss and Dulcinea were worried.

Everyone was confused by Jose's sudden description of those supposed victims the thug gloated about, but for Puss and Dulcinea, it suddenly felt like they know what Jose is talking about.

"How did you know that cave and those two victims I killed?" said the confused thug as he quickly put the gun towards Edwin, who was curious about Jose.

"Why are saying this stuff as if you've been there?" said the thug as his concerns were starting to hit him. So he touched his technical wristband to call for back up without anyone noticing it. He didn't know about Jose, but his approach towards him felt suddenly familiar as if he remembers him for some reason.

"Because I was there... where you drown me!" Jose takes out a huge shout as his lighting powers made him disappear. Dulcinea, Puss, Kitty, Edwin, and the thug, were all confused.

"Where did he go? No tricks! Or I will blast this kid to Hell!" said the masked desperate thug as he was looking around for Jose threatening Edwin's death. Dulcinea quietly saw Jose's sword transforming into his thunder axe. Then, loud thunder sounds were harming the fears of the thug. Suddenly the powerful axe flew and up in the sky, with his now Asgardian like armor, Jose grabs his weapon and slices the right hand of the thug, dropping his gun and freeing Edwin.

"Edwin, run!" said Puss, with every ounce of his voice, to tell a desperate and sad Edwin to run away from the danger, while deep down he was very glad Jose saved him. For Puss, Edwin was like a son to him.

So Edwin ran, as far away as possible. Puss, Dulcinea, and Kitty were shocked by Jose's sudden ability as he kicks the thug on the floor and put his ax far within hitting the head.

"WHO ARE YOU!!!!!?? Jose's burst of anger was shown as he caught up with potentially the people who have murdered his parents. But before he could get any answer, far away was a black, shoulder length, ponytail hair figure in black clothing, shooting the thug with a sniper. Jose couldn't believe what happened and he looked around to see where it came from with such hatred he has never had before but couldn't find the gunner. All he could hear were the screams of everyone in San Ricardo scared about all this violence.

"Jose, let's go!" said Dulcinea while Puss and Kitty quickly ran to their horses. Dulcinea was sad and heartbroken about what is happening to Jose that she stayed there and went to his back to cover him. Jose felt sudden despair by all of this, but deep down, she was right.

"Okay, Dulcinea. Let's get going," said Jose as he and Dulcinea quickly ran towards their horses. They took off to join Kitty and Puss, who are already on their way to Santa Felipe.

The mysterious sniper was hiding on top of a cliff seeing them riding off on their adventure. By its side, was the last of the five masked thugs, watching them ride on their horses.

"Take the shot," said the gunner, with a voice of a female warrior warlord, while giving him the sniper. He sets his aim up and was ready to shoot. But suddenly, the mysterious black hooded vigilante was here, and the thug quickly forgets Jose and his friends and turns his attention towards the small vigilante.

"Who are you?" said the sniper thug as the vigilante draws a very unique sword and houses a powerful golden beam to strike her. She dodges it out of the way, but it hits the last thug and sent him flying down to his death. She then smirks at the vigilante.

"See you soon, nobody."

She said it with such fierce and ruthless tone as she jumps off the cliff, but uses a jetpack to fly away from the vigilante. The small figured vigilante walks towards the cliff and sees below the dead thug. He looks up and sees Jose, Puss in Boots, Dulcinea, and Kitty Softpaws traveling on their next road of this new turned dangerous adventure, and takes off the hoodie and reveals his rounded ears, and his determined face.

The vigilante jumps down the cliff and lands on his brown and cream horse. He puts his yellow shoes on the horse's chest as the horse takes off and rides quickly so that this mysterious vigilante can reach Puss in Boots and the rest of his gang on time in this struggle for the Chaos Emeralds.
