Nine in the morning. Earlier today, in Nick Wilde's private office*
Puss in Boots, Rocket Raccoon, and Nick Wilde, were all inside Wilde's private office to look for some clues on the crime scenes in the Rainforest District.
"Found anything, Puss?" says Nick, while he sees some files.
"No, Nick. And you, Rocket?" Puss responds.
"Don't make me lose my focus, you two! I'm trying to concentrate," says a high toned savage Rocket as he was typing on a computer trying to do something that could help them on the case.
"But that's my computer," says confusing Nick as he watches Rocket is using his computer for the confident raccoon's use.
"It is okay, Nick. Let him play with your mystical toy of reality."
"It's called a computer, Puss. And it's a visual reality. As in 3-D technology?"
"Oh, well, agree to disagree, hehe," Both Puss and Nick were talking about technology, where Nick tells Puss about what it's really called after Puss said a made up name to it. They both laughed and agreed to the terms they set.
"Look, Nick. What is it?" says Puss, giving Wilde a file of one of the crime scenes in the Rainforest District. Nick sees the file and was curious, as well as confused by the pictures. Puss looks closer and immediately regret seeing this, as a black panther was shot at his head. Blood coming from his head al the way to his body. The panther was brutalized to death. Nick groans in disgusts, while Rocket didn't bother watching the files, as he didn't care to watch this panther died, but rather continue on with his goal with the computer.
"That's a black panther lying on the ground. And Mayor Piglette? Why those pictures weren't here when it happened?" says Nick, looking at the files with so many questions in mind. He softly slaps his face with his paws in utter disappointment, shame, and a little bit sad that no one, including he, was able to do something about it.
"I know, right? Maybe Piglette was part of a crime scene, and the poor panther suffered her wrath." And check, this crime happened almost ten days ago." Puss in Boots says.
"Yes, but why a normal citizen? Is not like he had something to hide," a very investigative Nick said, while Puss shared his thoughts. Meanwhile, Rocket was smirking as he was typing fast like he got something very good and enjoyable.
"Boom!" says Rocket as he was darn happy about what he achieved, while Nick and Puss rushed to Rocket's position to meet him quickly.
"What is it, Rocket?" a very excited Puss said.
"Well, my friend in boots, I hacked to the City Hall's system, as well as every traffic lights, cameras, phones, and adding a bit of a touch of mine, and now I control over every single thing in Zootopia." Rocket says.
"That's awesome, Rocket. But, isn't hacking the City Hall's system illegal?"
"You know, Nick? It is illegal, but I don't give a damn about it, because I know this Piglette mayor is a dirty sheep."
Nick, Puss, and Rocket celebrate the raccoon's efforts, and they gave some thoughts on Piglette. Puss looks at the file Nick is holding and that gave the swashbuckling feline an idea. An idea in which, of course, he smirks like he became the smartest cat in the universe.
"Can you look at this, and see what happened that night?" Puss in Boots says, pointing the file at Nick. The sly fox hands Puss the files, while the orange cat gives it to Rocket. He sees the files and looks for the date, hour of the day, and location.
"Okay." Rocket Raccoon says. Rocket then types on Nick's computer to check on the incident between Piglette and the panther. The trio of detectives watched and listened to frame by frame, moment by moment, what happened down there.
"Ah, your secrets will never be safe." says the black panther.
"Oh, really? How so?" Mayor Piglette says.
"Somebody will discover the truth, and how you've been leading our town to its foreseeable death."
"Oh, no. I will lead them to the Golden Age, with White Devil as our leader, no one will stop us. Not even Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, and the rest of the stupid little pet animals they hold at the ZPD."
"Argh, I may die today, but sooner or later, Karma will bite you hard and where it hurts."
"Oh, silly panther, you are dumb. Once I finish with my enemies, and the White Devil finishes hers from her world, our master plan will be fulfilled, and I will be sitting in a chair at City Hall, enjoying my empire. Any last words before I blast your head to oblivion?"
"Fuck! You!"
"Ah. Wrong words."
Gunshots, as she shot the panther multiple times in the head, body, and face*
Puss, Nick, and Rocket pause the video and gasped in horror, with Rocket reacting not showing any emotions as Nick and Puss.
"Pobre panther," a very saddened Puss in Boots says, taking his hat off and placing it in his chest to show respect to the deceased panther.
"How did we miss this all this time?" says Wilde, as he feels that it was his responsibility to help others, and the panther's death made him feel like part of it was his fault.
"Let's continue, shall we?" said Rocket, as they continue to see the video.
"Hello?"
"It's done, my almighty leader."
"Yes. Will do."
"I'll talk to you when I get the panther to the Asylum."
"Ok, bye."
Piglette seemed to call somebody for a moment. She then seems to take the dead body on the back seat of her black limousine. Nick seemed very thoughtful of this Asylum she spoke off.
"Follow that vehicle," Nick tells Rocket what to do, while the raccoon types the computer as fast as he can in order to follow the limousine.
For minutes, they have been watching the black limousine driven by Mayor Piglette. the vehicle went right and left, back in forth, as three very observant Rocket, Nick, and Puss pursue the car with their highly sensitive eyes.
"She is taking another turn."
"She went right."
"Look, Nick and Puss. She's still going on that road. She stopped. There. That's the Asylum." Rocket Raccoon says.
"Oh my God."
"What is it, Wilde?" says Puss, wanting to hear Nick's revelation so bad.
"The Asylum. I heard about it."
Nick finally discovered what she meant about it, as Puss and Rocket were surprised but focused to learn more about the place.
"What is the Asylum, smart fox?" Rocket asked.
"The Asylum was meant to be a big prison for animals turned savage due to the Nigthhowlers serum. It was built with the hopes of caging more animals who were out of control in order for doctors to further studies the behavior of every predator in Zootopia. It was shut down and forced to cancel all plans with the build of the place when Judy and I were assigned to discover what other secrets former mayor Lionheart had during his time as mayor, as well as Bellwether, who was responsible for the behaviors of every predator in Zootopia," Nick Wilde explains as Puss and Rocket gasped in horror hearing this.
"Well, I guess we just have to go out there, kick some criminal ass, get what we need, and return home to report," says Rocket, not intimidated by anything Nick just said, as well as showing his confident badass side of him.
"What are we waiting for, amigos? Let us go!" an excited Puss says as he rapidly exits the offices with the thrill of adventure flowing through him, while the two bored Wilde and Rocket just walked instead of sharing Puss, enthusiasm.
"Is he always like this?" Nick asks Rocket.
"Apparently, yes," Rocket responds, breathing in embarrassment.
Nick, Rocket, and Puss were getting geared up to hop on Nick's van outside. Rocket cleaned his blaster, Wilde picks up his stun gun, and Puss in Boots check on his powerful sword.
"Ready to go?" Nick says while looking at the two determined Rocket and Puss.
"Si, Wilde. Lead the way." Puss in Boots says.
"What Puss said. Let's go." Rocket says.
Nick, Puss, and Rocket were all ready to head out for the Asylum.
The journey was a three-hour trip, and Puss was feeling a bit sad looking at the view of mammals, the skies, and buildings he saw on the road. His sudden let down is because he misses doing missions and adventures with Jose and especially Dulcinea. It felt weird for him being on an adventure with partners he has never worked with. Wilde told him if everything was alright, but Puss said yes.
Finally, the trio arrived at the Asylum and the skies were starting to rain. The trio manages to easily walk by the gates. They hide by some rocks for cover, as they see leopard guards patrolling the place. Nick Wilde, Rocket Raccoon, and Puss in Boots, all gathered together to come up with a good plan to get inside undetected.
"Any of you dumb jackasses got a plan? says Rocket, who is ready to roll.
"Well, princess, you and my main man in his fancy heels here can distract the guards before they..." says a self-centered Nick Wilde as his words made Rocket and Puss very mad, while the leopards were starting to hear and pick up a sent. The thought of being a distraction made Puss in Boots cared for only himself as his ego blew through the roof.
"You insult me, Wilde. I am for the grand entrance, not the distraction! I will be the one to break in, and you two will distract..." Puss in Boots comes up with his own pan which made the other two in total disagree, and as they began to argue, the leopards could almost sense them through their nose.
"Whoa whoa whoa, and what're you gonna do, poke your stick in their eyes or something? an arrogant Wilde said as his comment made Puss gasps in shock because Nick just insulted his most trusty weapon: his sword.
"This is not a stick, you filthy..." Puss was about to say something until Rocket had just had enough of their nonsense
"Shut up or I'll blow yer brains out of yer skulls!" a furious Rocket said it out loud, and all three of them elevated their egos so high that their arguing was heard from everyone in the Asylum.
For minutes, Rocket, Nick, and Puss were still arguing, like three lions fighting for its place as the king of the jungle. When things started to cool down, the leopards were waiting for them the whole time they argue, laughing with villainous smirks and preparing their hands for a beatdown.
"Uh, you guys are the worst partners ever," says Puss, embarrassed that he and his team were so childish about this and they paid the price. Leopards started bearing up like sweet Christmas back and forth until Nick and Rocket fall down and didn't move. Puss falls down but his eyes were still flashing, staying conscious for the moment as these leopards destroyed him Wilde and Rocket.
"Bye bye, kitty," a leopard said as he struck Puss hard with a bat. Finally, Rocket, Nick, and Puss were all down for the count, while the guards took them inside and imprisoned there by trapping all three of them through some tough rope and flaming fire and chainsaws underneath them. They took their weapons and Puss' hat to make sure they would not pull any stunts on them.
Five hours later*
Puss in Boots slowly started to open his eyes. Once he did he saw the deadly trap coming below him and he jumps scare, only for Nick and Rocket, who were already awake, grunting for the effort to be comfortable.
"Look, Mister his Fault is finally awake," says Nick, mocking Puss.
"My fault? It was your fault you did not wanted to follow my lead!" says Puss, defending himself while he and Nick continue to argue. Rocket was embarrassed and angry cause Puss and Bick still have a vendetta against one another and the leopards are witnessing their chemistry being absolute trash from the control panels that made their ropes going down, slowly leading them into their deaths.
"Shut the fuck up, you little assholes. We are in this mess cause you two jackasses cannot stop arguing. Hell, even I am part of this fault, but you two have to argue so that the whole freaking world can hear you two fighting over some bullshit!" a furious Rocket said as his words made the two of them stopped for a moment. They took their time to reflect on what they did wrong.
"Puss, I'm sorry. Um, the truth is... is that I don't know how to lead a group of partners without Judy, hehe," says Wilde, revealing to a surprised Puss something he was being bothered since he hit the road eight hours ago.
"No, Nick. It is my fault. I was so caught up in having an adventure with you two, without Dulcinea and Jose, that I have lost focus on the mission at hand. I hope this makes us even, Nick," Puss replies. Both friends share their feelings and both of them apologized to each other, which made Rocket feel a bit relieved and uninterested in, as the ropes keep pulling them closer to being a chainsaw slice of apple with the flamethrowers turning them into barbeque apple chicken.
"Not to be a pain in the as, but can we please stop being so emotionally sorry get us the hell out of here!" he yells as Nick and Puss put on their serious stares on with smirks on their faces.
Puss draws out his claws from behind and starts to break the ropes. As the ropes were getting closer to their deaths, Nick and Rocket were desperately telling Puss to hurry up. But lucky for them, Puss in Boots lives for these kinds of pressures, as he is just inches away from setting them all free.
"Huzzah!" a victorious Puss exclaims as he set his friends free. They barely touched the flames and their chainsaw as they looked at their tails and they were all right. A couple of stunned leopards angrily runs towards them to fight them off as they got out of the control panel, while Rocket, Puss, and Nick were ready to fight, as a team this time.
"Rocket, Nick, watch out," says Puss as he opens his paws and his sword came to him at full power, while Rocket and Nick took cover. Puss' sword hit the ground as it created a powerful earthquake that it made the floor hit every single leopard in the Asylum.
"Thanks, Puss," says Nick, while Puss gets to the control room and throws him and Rocket their weapons.
"De nada Nick. Now..." Puss gladly said before two leopards tried to attack him from behind. A smirking Rocket fires them in the head as Puss as shocked by it.
"Rocket! You could have hit me in the head!" says an enraged Puss, who though Rocket could have ended his life.
"Quit your whining, and start kicking ass!" says Rocket, while Puss and Nick see twenty leopards ready to do battle. Nick loaded his stun gun, Rocket loads his blaster, and Puss draws his sword and all three of them marched towards the leopards.
From every corner imaginable, the leopards were demolished by the trio of controllable egos, as Puss, Nick, and Rocket were all on a rampage together.
Nick stuns as many as eight predators and dint missed a shot. Rocket killed as many as four as he was aiming with laughter in his face, enjoying the moment, so perfect that he even killed some of them without even looking. Puss defeated as many as six, as his fencing skills and fire punch powers were enough for the leopards to fear this amazing Catvenger.
Ten more leopards came and from there. it was smooth sailing for Puss in Boots, Rocket Raccoon, and Nick Wilde. They looked at each other so confidently that, moments later, they smashed the leopards and broke the door to the main room. Once there, they decided to look for important clues.
"Okay, you two. Let's get something that we can use for later," says a calmed Nick as the other two agreed. For a while now they didn't found anything, looked like a dead un for them.
Puss in Boots suddenly sees a widescreen as the others join him. Nick takes out his phone to record everything.
The screen showed Puss' every single adventure he's ever had. From his humble beginning in San Ricardo to the road of redemption as a hero in San Lorenzo, to cement his name amongst the greatest hero in the universe in his travels to other works such as Zootopia and Earth 18. Is as if someone is playing games with him.
"Stop hiding behind the screens of trickery! Show yourself, vile beast!" says Puss, taking charge as he puts on his fencing stance.
"Ah, haha. You failed. You promised every single cockroach you've saved that you would be there to help them, but at the end, of the day, Puss in Boots is a myth based off lies," the widescreen displayed those sentences, which made Puss questioned it with sudden anger and confusion.
"Me!? what did I fail at, and why are you after me!?"
"Show yourself," says Nick, joining Puss while Rocket kept quiet as he slowly loaded his blaster.
"Shut up, Puss. You know what you did to me, and now you will feel the pain of losing someone in your life that is important and you couldn't do shit to stop it and prevent it. And Nick, same goes to you, as well as poor little trash ass panda bitch! Like how Piglette killed poor Renato Mancha, hehe" the widescreen's words and diabolical laugh were like playing chess, succeeding in mentally damaging Puss' head as he growls in anger cause he doesn't want whoever is in charge of this monstrosity come anywhere near Dulcinea. Same goes to Nick, getting the same behavior as Puss to protect Judy Hopps.
"Shut the hell up, a-hole motherfucker!" a furious and angry Rocket yells as he was offended by the trash panda comment that he fired his blast ton the screen countless times, that he enjoyed every second of it with laughs so lunatic for a small raccoon.
"The whole world is in my hands, haha!" says the broken screen said with evil and sick smile and laughter were on show displayed, as it showed a young boy trapped in a torture room being electrocuted to his brains, same way Dulcinea told Puss how she was tortured back the, and it made Nick turned soft and emotional.
"Ricky!" he cries out loud as he watches his missing friend still alive, but being tortured with tools far worse than death. Suddenly the screen displayed a time clock, revealing that this place was rigged with bombs and in ten seconds, the Asylum would explode.
"We need to get the hell out of here!" says Rocket but as soon as they tried to escaped, the emergency doors kicked in and trapped them inside.
"What now?" says a desperate Puss. Nick sees a toilet and quickly tells them to go there, with disapproval from them but had no choice but to agree as the clock was in...
Five. Four. Three. Two. One."
The bombs exploded all over the building. It killed almost every leopard that was inside this place. Puss, Rocket, and Nick were screaming as they were driving fast from the tunnels of the toilet with fire coming behind them and explosions as well. They barely escaped the double wrath of fire and explosion as they all dive to a large lake and crashed down to solid water.
They all got out of the water gasping for air, and Rocket quickly points at the solid land as Nick and Puss followed his lead, swimming desperately to get to land.
They reached the land, and all three of them took the time to get some breathing room, with nasty thoughts and worrisome going to the minds of Nick and Puss.
"Freeze!" a surviving leopard catches them. Puss, Rocket, and Buck were trapped and their weapons would be enough for them to fight back, as he forces them to raise their hands up.
"Hehe, now the White Devil will be happy to see this," the leopard said, only for him to be stabbed to his chest by a blue lightsaber, which made Puss, Rocket, and Nick surprised. Once the leopard fell to the ground, it revealed Gabriel, who was spying on those three since the beginning of their mission.
"Gabriel, how did you found us?" Puss asks.
"Yeah, weren't you supposed. to help Jose on parking duty?" a curious Nick replies while Rocket looks at Gabriel suspicious.
"First of all, I got a call. Second, I see you three were in a mess, and that you let your egos beat y'all big time. And finally, no time to talk. We need to get the fuck out of here!" says Gabriel, as all four of them desperately want to hop on Gabriel's car. Once inside, they clapped Gaby's back to start the engine and drive.
"Wait, we need to get to Dulcinea!" a desperate Puss says.
"And Judy too! They might be in danger!" Nick yells, worrying about his friend.
"We are going home," says a confident Gabriel, which made Puss, Rocket, and Nick confused and angry by Gabriel's reckless idea.
"WHY!?" all three of them said in an angry, desperate for their friends, and mad at Gabriel for not doing anything, as he passes the route that would have taken them to Tundratown. Confident with a smile on his face, Gabriel says these words as they headed home. Words that Rocket Raccoon, Nick Wilde, and Puss in Boots prayed for the hope that these words be the savior of Judy Hopps and Dulcinea, as well as for those two women that they can handle the dangers that await them.
"Because they will not be alone. Someone will come."
