"So let me get this straight, you want me to permit you and Wilde, to depend on a group of strangers to save Zootopia from some evil rulers?"
"Please, Chief Bogo. This may be our only shot to save the city and find Ricky. They proved that they are here to help us and today's attack on the ZPD is the perfect example."
"Listen to Judy, Chief. We have saved this city and we also never failed you, and all of Zootopia before, and we can do it again. Just give us this opportunity."
"Please."
"Alright, I will give you guys permission. But, if this city fails, you will resign, as well as every one of us with our deaths. Deal?"
"The White Devil won't kill any of us, so deal."
"That's right, Judy."
"Splendid, Now off you go to rest. Tomorrow we have a long day ahead and those new gadgets better become ready."
Chief Bogo, Nick Wilde, and Judy Hopps had a facetime chat discussing what their plans now that the ZPD was under attack by criminals and saved by Rocket Raccoon, Gabriel, Jose, Dulcinea, and Puss in Boots, who were sleeping in their apartment, which they let the group of officers get in as their house was destroyed earlier in the night. They all agree on tomorrow's plans and beyond, hoping that those four newcomers are the key to save Zootopia from absolute doom. Nick and Judy then walked through their beds and sleep the rest of the night.
The next day*
It has been a beautiful morning to start another good day in Zootopia. Lots of animals walking through the lights of Central City, mouses entering the entrance to their little town, Little Rodentia.
Meanwhile, at the ZPD, many officers were rebuilding their building, after the showdown with the White Devil's criminals last night. Every officer inside the station was energized, pumped up, and so ready to begin their day, as they all want a piece of the criminal's groups who attacked them.
Every mammal officer was sitting on their table at the officer's office, were Chief Bogo was there to give each officer their respective side missions. Once the officers were gone, Bogo decides to get a cup and drink some coffee.
"Another day in the office," Chief Bogo says as he drinks his cup of coffee. He then proceeds to take out his phone from his pockets and plays some kind of video that made him dancing on his chair and gets excited over it.
Just on their way to the officer's office came Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps, along with Gabriel, Rocket Raccoon, Jose, Puss in Boots, and Dulcinea were marching in with all smiles on their faces. Once they opened the door, they caught Bogo dancing like crazy, as each and every one of them was confused and surprised by it, as Bogo sees them an hides the phone.
"Uh, what are you doing, Bogo," Hopps asks, while Bogo looked at her and her friends awkwardly nervous.
"Um, nothing," he responds, putting a smile and showing his teeth nervously.
"I'm Gazelle, and you are one hot dancer," the voice of Bogo's phones plays, as Bogo forgot to turn off his phone, which made Judy and Nick very confused and Jose, Puss, and Dulcinea were smiling, and Rocket and Gabriel shaking their heads in embarrassment.
"Are you playing the app again, sir?" a sassy Wilde says, raising his eyebrows while crossing his arms around like a detective as Judy does the same.
"Uh... yes?" Chief Bogo responds so nervously, that Wilde and Hopps groans in disgust as well as Rocket, while Gabriel, Puss, Jose, and Dulcinea softly laughed because it found it funny. Especially Dulcinea, who loves Bogo for being a funny buffalo cop, and not for the mere embarrassment he took.
"What a dick headed asshole," says Rocket softly, as Dulcinea heard him cause she was close to him, and decides to punch him hard on the back on his back like a mother hitting a disobedient child, while Rocket feels the pain.
"Hey, what the fuck did you do that for!" says Rocket as his language got Dulcinea to grab him by the ear and walks with him far away from the curious and surprised friends, who were listening to the whole thing so that they'd be no distractions.
"Listen to me, you raccoon."
"I'm not a raccoon."
"Shut it, Rocket! You are a raccoon and you will like it!"
"Stop being a douchebag and ignorant fool, cussing everyone as you please. Just stop being ignorant and be nice to our friends."
But. But..." an arrogant, selfish, and trash talking Rocket Raccoon said, who is stuttering as he shows his hesitation, impatient, and desperation as he wants to try and talk to a calm Dulcinea, while she tightens the hold on like an angry mother.
"I said, you will be nice to your friends and new ones!" says Dulcinea, while Rocket screams in pain by her holds. Rocket finally decides to Dulcinea's terms.
"Good, Rocket," says a smiley Dulcinea, who's jumping and walking with such joy as she makes her way back to Bogo and his mission scheduled in waiting partners, while Rocket stays where he is too soft his pain Dulcinea inflicted on his ears and back of his head.
"That's why I never speak the way I always want to do when this cat is around," Rocket whispered, showing his inability to speak like he always does because of Dulcinea.
"Alright everybody, sit down. We need to talk," said Chief Bogo, as everybody took a seat.
"Okay, we all know these crimelords have something planned that could be the end of Zootopia as we know it. I, as well as you guys, want to stop them before their plan succeeds," a commanding Bogo says as everybody agreed to him and they were all fired up to stop these guys.
"Yes, I am ready to put an end to this monstrosity these cowards have put upon this place, and rescue this Ricky fellow." Puss in Boots says.
"Si. What we are going to do?" said a curious Dulcinea, who wants to know what's the plan.
"Thank you for asking, miss?" Bogo says as he can't quite pronounce her name.
"Dulcinea," Dulcinea says.
"Yes, Dulcinea. Thank you. Where was I?" says Bogo, as he is about to hand the group of heroes their missions.
"Oh, yes. Wilde. You will take the talking raccoon and the talking cat in boots..."
"Puss in Boots!"
"Rocket and I'm not a raccoon!"
Both Rocket and Puss were angry that Bogo didn't mention their names right.
"Yeah sure, whatever. Anyways, you three will investigate various crime scenes in the Rainforest District," says Bogo, as Puss, Rocket, and Nick were excited because they thought they all got the best partners on their team and they leave the office so they can work on their mission.
"When, bad advice your friend takes, step aside and let it bake," Jose thought about his quote from his friend Dulcinea as he sees Puss, Rocket, and Nick working together. As soon as he sees them, Jose looked at Dulcinea and, who had the same thoughts as he had.
"Uh-oh," All three of them said, as they knew those three have the recipe for disaster because those three have the biggest egos ever.
"Hopps! You and Dulcinea will investigate Tundratown, the highest crimes committed by the crime lords," Chief says, while Judy feels ecstatic as she gets to team up with Dulcinea, who feels the same because this could be a bonding moment for them.
"Good luck, Dulcinea, Judy," Jose says.
"Thank you, Jose," a happy Dulcinea responds, while she and Judy get off their seats.
"Let's go, Dulcinea. I'll show you around here while we go ahead to run an errand on the system," Judy said as Dulci ea happily agrees to the idea, thus heading for the exit door. All that's left now are Jose, his brother Gabriel, and a serious Chief Bogo.
"Jose. Gabriel," Chief Bogo says, as the two brothers were excitedly waiting for their assignments.
"Parking Duty. Dismissed," he says, while Gabriel was only excited for it, but Jose was enraged that he got that assignment instead of heading to the field.
"That's unfair! Why do I have to do parking duty!?" a furious Jose yells.
"Well, for once, you are responsible for most of the damages our station suffered yesterday, and because Hopps told me that you said some harsh words that could have put you in prison for a long period of time," Bogo explains, as Gaby softly laughs at his brother while Jose throws a tantrum.
"Ah! This shit ain't fair!" he exclaims.
"Do what you have been told, and all charges will be dropped. So enough crying like a baby animal, and Let. It. Go," Chief Bogo says some final words to Jose's face as he left the office. Jose grumps with his hands crossed like an angry person, while Gabriel heads for the exit to prepare for his mission assign by Bogo with optimism pumping through his heart and veins.
"Stupid buffalo and his Frozen song references," says a grumpy Jose, leaving the office. Once he closes the door, Judy was waiting for him for some reason.
"What are you doing here?" says a curious Jose, as Judy gives him her carrot pen. He presses the button of the pen and it recorded Jose's harsh words to Hopps.
"Or is it because the White Devil's kills are as good as your bunnies ability to multiply?!"
Jose was beyond mad and angry that he said those words to her, and worse, that she recorded this and hand it to Bogo.
"Why the heck did you hand this to Bogo?" a furious and regretting Jose said, while Judy takes her pen back from him kindly with a smile and sassy look on her face.
"Cause, Jose, it's called a hustle sweetheart," says Judy as she leaves, leaving Jose grunting and screaming with his jersey blocking his voice because he doesn't want anyone to see his anger being shown on display.
Moments after, he goes outside where Gabriel waits for him on the tiny van.
"Gabriel," Jose said, as he was starting to feel something that it doesn't seem right for not just himself, but to his friends as well.
"Yes, Jose?" he asks.
"I don't trust Puss, Nick, and Rocket can co-exist together. I would want you to keep an eye on them the entire road of their mission." Jose says.
"Why? Don't you want me to help you with your punishment?"
It's my punishment and I wouldn't want you to drag you into my mess. I can handle the parking duty alone. Please, it's really important to me that you spy on them, especially Puss."
Both Jose and Gabriel come to an agreement, as Gabriel understand why the sudden plan by his brother, because he doesn't want anything to happen to his best friend Puss in Boots.
"Okay, brother. I got you. Work on your assignment, parking officer."
"Oh, get jokes, huh? Well then, I will see you later, punching bag."
Both Jose and Gabriel used their bad luck, Jose's punishment and Gabriel's time he was beaten down like a punching bag by Thanos and Dulcinea, as jokes as both brothers laughed and hugged each other. Gabriel walks away to do what Jose politely asked him to do, while Jose hopps on the van, which it was difficult for him to adjust.
"Oh yeah?" says a challenging Jose as he sees on the van the record of tickets Judy Hopps collected back when she was on parking duty: two hundred and one tickets before noon.
"I will break your two hundred and one ticket record. I will make four hundred tickets. Before eleven thirty," says the determined Jose, while he puts his cap, his vest, and turns the key to start the van and slowly and steadily, he rides around Zootopia searching for those cars on the restricted parking alarms.
An energetic Jose kept his ears an eyes intact while driving around town. Once he heard the first alarm, he rapidly turned on the jets and typed the letters and put his first ticket on the car, and the alarms kept coming, with its sounds sounding like a holy Christmas song.
Jose kept running in back in forth, using his Force-sensitive senses to determine the places of the cars, and his hight lighting speed made him type fast and put tickets back in forth, like a speedster. He even jumped hight to put a ticket on a tall car made for giraffes.
Jose kept coming for those tickets, and for three hours and a half, he continued to show his competitive drive and determination to accomplish his mission. Once he saw the clock, it was eleven and twenty-five in the morning. He sees the numbers on his small tablet, and the number points at four hundred.
"Yes! four hundred tickets before eleven thirty!" Jose says as he celebrates with a floss dance. He then draws out his nickels and without looking he throws it and hits the mark, right before the alarm sounded, signaling to put a ticket on his own van.
"Not this time, Vanny," said Jose, jokingly calling his van Vanny.
Jose decides to look around for food. He sees a small male fennec fox selling some popsicles of some kind, which caught his attention. He takes the sweats of his forehead due to the hot weather and walks across the streets to meet this fox.
"Pawpsicle! Get your pawpsicle!" the fennec fox yells as many animals walk across him, while others buy that delicious candy that Jose seems interested on.
"Um. Hi," Jose says while the fox sees the young man and quickly screams in fear and gets to his van to grab his bat.
"Who are you!? Are you Ricky, or a fake!?" the threatened fox said as he confuses Jose to Ricky. It was normal for Jose, as he got used to everyone seeing him like some strange kid. Maybe he knows who Ricky is.
"Hey, hey! Calm down. I am not Ricky, but I am a cop looking for him," He responds as things cooled down.
"Sorry, young man. I got confused."
"It's okay, fox. I get used to it. Who are you? You seem like Nick Wilde's friend?" he said, as the fox was amazed and surprised by Jose's question.
"My name is Finnick, and I am co-creator of these pawpsicles. And yes, I do know Nick Wilde. He is my friend, along with Judy Hopps. How did you know."
"Just a hunch, hehe. And um, can I get a pawpsicle."
"Sure, mister?"
"Oh no, no muster, please. Just call me Jose."
"Okay, Jose. That'd be five dollars."
"Here you go," Jose hands Finnick fives dollars, while the fennec fox hands him his pawpsicle.
"Thanks, Finnick. It was nice to chat with you. Hope to see you soon."
"Me too, Jose. Make sure Nick comes back here and help me buy some pawpsicles."
"Aha, sure will. See you around."
"You too, my friend. You too."
Finnick and Jose had a fun conversation with each other after an awkward first encounter. Jose takes a zip of the pawpsicle, and he quickly felt a delicious bond with it.
"Um, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Delicioso. God, I better stop saying childish Dora and Backpack lines, hehe," Jose says while eating the pawpsicle.
For the next six hours, he kept continuing adding tickets to every car possible. Once his routine was done, he checked his numbers and saw one thousand and two hundred tickets delivered.
"Ah, hell yeah," a pumped-up Jose said as he celebrated his achievement by moonwalking and doing the Thriller dance, as well as posting a picture of it and sending it to the ZPD.
"Let see if Hopps breaks my record now." Jose Arroyo says.
Jose drives his van and parks it back to the ZPD. He then takes a walk around town as the skies turn to nighttime. Seeing the beautiful stars of this beloved city and world, in general, made Jose's heart felt like it was missing something in it. And to Jose's mind, he misses his world, and most importantly, he is worried for Puss and Dulcinea. He never liked the idea of them taking separate missions where they needed to handle them all by themselves. He always feels like together they are the most powerful beings the universe have ever seen, but what it matters to those three were their chemistry and friendship. Sure, Jose always thought that he is more than a third wheel in the relationship between Puss in Boots and Dulcinea, but he never cried or said anything that offended them. He was just there to ride with them and be there for those two like a guardian angel, which they consider him as a brother and conscience to one of many unknown worlds, ever since their first time adventuring together from San Ricardo to the cultural paradise of Wakanda, to the temple of San Lorenzo, to a war zone in New York, to the calm town of Spain, and finally, the towns of Puerto Rico, Far Far Away on Earth 18, and now Zootopia.
Jose smiled at his thoughts and memories being recorded inside his head as that reminded him that he's satisfied that he got to enjoy those epic adventures with Puss and Dulcinea.
On the way to his apartment, he sees a couple of strangers running away with a couple of swords. He looks at them and later, thanks to the wind coming from inside his house, he sees the window was opened. He climbs on top of the house and sees that they were in the house to break in but didn't take anything. He then quickly took charge by jumping out of his house through a window, lands on his feet, and follows them step by step. The crocks were walking around from every inch of the city, while Jose follows them quietly. Until finally, they stopped by an abandoned house just a few blocks from Little Rodentia. Curious and sensing an evil force inside the house, Jose checks in.
Once inside, the lights were turned off, and Jose was blinded by the darkness inside the house, but he wasn't intimidated by it.
"Aha, you should have never followed us, human," a mysterious voice said, as Jose's senses were on high alert, but again the lights were too dark for him to see anything.
Suddenly, fighting noises were made, and Jose's grunting and screams were heard as if Jose was being attacked from behind. The attacks never stopped, as the attackers hit Jose right where they wanted to hit him like they were wearing some night glasses that helped them gained an advantage over him.
Once they beat him up, the lights returns and turned on, revealing that ten black wolves attacked him, including the leader, who was just standing there watching the other nine beat up Jose while holding the swords they stole, which was, in fact, Jose's sword.
"Not so powerful without your sword, huh?" the cocky leader says while the other wolves laughed diabolically.
"And not so man enough without your buddies helping you attack someone from behind, you pussy," a defiant Jose, despite the punishment he took, said while trying to get back up. The leader, as well as his followers, wasn't pleased by Jose's trash talk and kicks him in the forehead, putting him down to the ground again.
"Next, time think twice before talking. All that talk is gonna get you killed," the wolf said. Jose, bleeding from his mouth, spits the ground, smiles with his teeth covered in blood, and taunts everyone raising his body to two knees, raises his right and left arms, and put out two middle fingers to all of the stunned wolves, including the furious leader.
"You son of a bitch!" he says as he connects a right punch through Jose's chest, which made him fall down but he uses his laughs to deal with his pain.
"Oh, you shouldn't had broken into my house, steal my sword, and attack me from behind like a bunch of cowards. And that is why I will take all of you first before kicking your leader's pussy ass." Jose Arroyo says.
"Oh no. It won't be like that," the leader, not intimidated by Jose's threats, uses one of his swords and puts it on his neck, raising his head to look at him dead in the eye.
"I will kill you, then come after your friends. Because that is what the White Devil sent me to do. And nothing will escape my wrath."
"What wrath, the wrath of an idiot bitch taking orders from someone who is emotionally broken cause her dickheaded boyfriend was killed by my friends?"
"Don't ever talked to the Red Devil like that ever again, you prick!" The wolf was mad at Jose insulting his boss, while the rest of wolves growl as they want to taste the blood of Jose, as Jose smiles like he doesn't take his threats to kill him seriously.
"Oh, sure. Maybe if you can face me like a man I would have paid attention to everything your sorry ass had to say. I mean, you are acting like that one impatient dude who asks his friend for reviews for his stories only to be rejected by the words " I'll do it when I can". You, as well as I, need some patience in life."
"And you need patience for what? To use all your powers only to be a third wheel pussy to those sons of bitches we will kill soon? Because your patience is as fake as your family."
"And now my patience is off. Thanks, for making me piss off."
The leader of the wolves and Jose exchange words, as the wolf took it too far and a smiley Jose, with all the determination and strength he can gather, opens both his hands that made his swords to come back from him, which made the leader of the wolves stunned. Jose proceeds with his momentum by spinning and slicing the heads of nine wolves, leaving the leader alone.
"I will kill you!" the wolf says as he commences to attack Jose with various attacks with his claws. Jose dodges them all and uses his kung fu and karate fighting style to deliver kicks and punches to the body and head.
The wolf, screaming in pride, attacks Jose, but Jose dodges those, pushes him, and delivers a Superman Punch that knocked him to the floor.
"Stop it. For your own good," said Jose, giving a crawling for help wolf a chance to live.
"Fuck you! Fuck your brother, and your cockroaches of bitches who live with you!" said an ignorant wolf, who grabs a knife in an attempt to throw it at Jose by surprise. Jose dodges it, but not knowing it, he slings the two swords together and as soon as it hit the ground, its electric volts sent the wolf flying to the skies.
Jose, seeing the glowing surge of power coming out of his weapon, it transforms into an axe weapon. The wolf, weak and defeated, his trapped in a corner, open for a direct attack from Jose.
"I'm sorry, but I warned you," Jose says as he throws his axe and hits the wolf in the head.
"Oh God, Thor, why you didn't aim for Thanos's head?" he says, taking the axe off if the now dead wolf's head.
Leaving the house, he sees a couple of pictures, and he decides to use his phone to take a picture or a few which could be useful. He then stops taking pictures as he sees a kingdom and its guards flowed with their blood.
"God, someone didn't like this place." Jose Angel says.
He then looked deeper into it and sees the queen, more royal guards, its people, and even three musketeers, dead so violently. But as soon as he sees the dead musketeer cats, something hit him
"Queen is dead, and her rugby is stolen. More dead guards, oh and even the people down there died as well. Shocker."
"Wait. Three Musketeers cats? Dead? Wait a minute. God, please no! Don't tell me for fuck's sakes those aren't," The look, the fear, and nonstop heart pumping on Jose's face, mind and emotions were all started to kick in as he was starting to put the pieces of the pictures together. But once he realized where this came from, his voice went loud, as he was emotionally broken but not just because of him, but to someone else.
"PUSS!" Jose says as he rapidly leaves the abandoned place and runs as fast as he can to get to Puss, realizing that there is a trap in place. Jose takes his phone out and starts calling Puss, but his not responding. He then responds to Gaby multiple times, but he doesn't respond either. Jose runs through various corners of the city, doing parkours stunts, and even dodging mammals from accidentally crashing towards Jose, as he is running like a madman desperately trying to be on time to save his friends without looking at the road ahead.
"Please, God. Answer the phone, Puss!"
Jose desperately founds himself in a crossroads. Instead of going right, which takes him to the Rain Forest District where Puss is, he goes left, which takes him to Tundratown where Judy and Dulcinea are.
"I hope I'm not too late!" he said with his mind, as he finds a fast red car. He breaks the glass in order to get access to the car, gets inside, starts the engine and drives fast to get to Tundratown. A sloth with a green vest and cream pants sees him taking his car and slowly ran and talked as well.
"Stop. Right. There. This. Is. My. Car." says the sloth.
Jose, desperately shocked by this discovery he made, now turns his attention to find Dulcinea and Judy, in hopes that they can help him save Puss, and possibly Rocket, Gabriel, and Nick.
"Can't think about explaining Puss what happened there. Need to save him, as well as everyone else too." Jose Angel Arroyo Rivera says.
The tough road awaits an emotional Jose, as the stakes have never been higher.
