Three hours later; at Mayor Piglette's house; three hours later*
Jose, Puss in Boots, and Dulcinea, all made it to Mayor Piglette's house, who she was still passed out, tied up on a chair, and still with the apple in her mouth, while the three heroes were looking around the house for some important clues and information that could help them find the White Devil and save Zootopia once and for all.
Piglette slowly opens her eyes, and to her surprise, she sees the three group of friends, one of them being too far for her to see early, looking at her stuff. She sees the apple stuck in her mouth and she immediately spits it out.
"Unhand me, you bastards!" She yells, demanding them to free her. They slowly turned around. and looked at her as they were delighted that she is up and she could be useful to them.
"Finally, sleepy piggy is awake," Jose said, joyful that the captured pig is awake.
"About time. I mean, we have spent thirty minutes searching the house after your driving skills could not find this house for two and a half hours," says Puss, who was desperate to find any clue after spending the duration of the afternoon just looking for the house.
Puss and Jose made their way to the desk, where Piglette was tied up as she was looking at them seriously.
"Do you have any idea who I am and who my associates are!?" she yells, while Puss and Jose looked serious and smirks, not taking her threats all too serious.
"Oh, we know about your associates. Especially your boss." Puss in Boots says.
"Just tell us what we want to know, and we will guarantee your safety," Jose said as he was being petty and honest towards the pig, who did not believe a single word he said.
"Ha! You think I am in danger? Dumbasses you guys are! My leader will find you and believe me, she will kill every and each and one of you. Just like she did to that kingdom and its three musketeers," Piglette exclaims as vile and sinister as she was trying to use the Three Diablo's deaths to turn Puss into another emotional break. Jose looked at Puss and touches his back as soon as he heard her comments, but Puss looks at him very calmly, assuring him that his head is right.
"You think she will save you? Hell, she will betray you because of your secret," Jose clarifies as she was shocked that he knew something.
"Secrets!?" Piglette yells.
"What is wrong, madam? You think we could not sense your secrecies ever since we had captured you?" Puss said it with so much confidence and swag that Jose was actually enjoying Puss' enthusiasm, but the pig didn't grow. fo d with Puss' positivity, so she growls in anger.
"Please, Puss. Spare me your ego talk! There is no way you two can ever expose me for the criminal I am. I am as clean as an innocent animal, and everything that the ZPD has on me has been erased by my army, haha!" says Piglette, thinking that the two friends are at a dead end. Jose and Puss smiled and put their paws and fist closed with arms and looked serious.
Loud noises were being heard, like some broken plates and materials, and Piglette was desperate and scared because she had thought Jose and Puss were the only ones in her house.
Who is it there, and why are you breaking my stuff!?" she yells as she desperately wants to know the third person, while Jose puts his hands on the desk and gets closer to her face to look her in the eye.
"Oh, please. You're rich. You can buy anything and replace so.e of your useless and broken stuff. After all, your brown floors and red walls are fit for a piggy like you," says Jose as he's already making jokes towards the angry pig.
"Hehe, I will let our guest handle this one," says Puss as his smirk made Piglette curious and her veins were starting to sense something dangerous and fearful. Both Puss and Jose took a step back and let Piglette wondered about this third person herself.
"What... what are you looking at?" says the feared Piglette as they were looking at a dark figure from behind with smiles and delightfulness.
"Ask me where the White Devil is, and we might help you get to a protective jail without worrying about her killing you," the dark figure reveals as Dulcinea, who even with a nice and reasonable voice, was able to scare off the pig. Once she finally sees Dulcinea face to face, she chuckles, and Dulcinea's friends didn't like it.
"So you are the one cat that haunts the White Devil every single day, huh? So much for a disappointing twin sister, right? I must say, stupid weak ass cats like you who are always kind and sensitive cannot fight at all," she says, clearly underestimating Dulcinea's abilities.
"Then why don't you lead us to the White Devil, and maybe I can show you that I am more than just a pretty cat and a disappointing twin sister," Dulcinea says as she gives Piglette a smile and a serious stare on her face, while Jose and Puss were very surprised by her response. Especially Puss, who his heart was being lifted with trustfulness because ever since Dulcinea became a very capable woman, now more so than ever, the more Dulcinea gave Puss her word about protecting those who cannot defend themselves, the more Puss believed that she has improved and became his equal, which he was proud that he had trained her.
"I would, but believe you will die as soon as you face her. She has become more dangerous and more vicious than ever, and her thirst of vengeance will grow. So please, wake me up when you fight her so I can see you scream, yell, cry, and beg for her mercy, as she breaks your body, heart, soul, spirit, and any bit of happiness you have, haha!" she says as she is giving threats towards an unamused Dulcinea as she laughs at her diabolical words.
"Listen to me, Piglette. No matter who Dulcinea, no... no matter who us three faces up against, whether is Dulcinea's evil twin, you, your army, or hell even the entire universe for fuck's sake, Puss and I will be ready to fight alongside Dulcinea, wherever we go, any time and anywhere," says a determined Jose as Puss and Dulcinea loved Jose's willingness to fight alongside his friends no matter the odds. Piglette was bothered by Jose's act of loyalty.
"That is right! And you better believe that Dulcinea, Jose, and Puss in Boots, will defeat the forces of evil and bring you and the White Devil to justice, This I swear. Either you help us and we will spare you, or face the wrath of Puss in Boots, Kingpig. Hehe, Kingpig and Kingpin? Hehe, that is a nice wordplay, aha,"
Puss' words were full bravery, honor, and pride as he does his usual heroism words which made the Piglette want to die on the inside if it meant to not a single word of his oversized ego, but Jose and Dulcinea admired him and really believed that Puss can do it after all the bad things Puss had to endure throughout their journey in Zootopia, they can see that his heart has never been more motivated than ever.
Puss also praises himself for his wordplay he did which made Jose and Dulcinea closed their mouth with their hands and laughs, while Piglette wanted his trash talking to end.
"Please, Puss. You really think you can... Hey!" Mayor Piglette wanted to say something to Puss, but she stops and yells at Dulcinea, who was touching her pictures of herself on the walls which caught Puss and Jose's attention.
"I sense something some disturbance in these walls. Like, it has hidden secrets around there," Dulcinea says as she had her eyes closed and touching very slowly the pictures of the walls, while Piglette was nervous and sweating, which Puss saw that but did not say a word because he wanted to keep a close eye on the mischievous pig.
"You really don't have to touch my pictures, you stupid cat," Piglette desperately tries to convince a curious Dulcinea to stop looking at those pictures, while Jose walks towards his friend to help her out.
"Dulcinea, what is this," he says as Dulcinea turns around and see a drawing of a pig sticking a big fork right through the heart of a white cat with red eyes. Dulcinea became mysterious about it, so she decides to take out the drawing out of the wall, while Piglette was fearing, and her sweat and desperation were just what Puss needed to see that she is hiding something.
To their surprise, they see a red button, which made Dulcinea, Puss, and Jose gasp in awe and with the curiosity to find out what it does.
"Don't push the button! I'm begging you!" Piglette pleads so desperately. Puss chuckles as he signals Jose and Dulcinea to not listen to the pig.
Jose pushes the red button and the desk, along with Puss and Piglette, went down very fast.
"Puss!" both Jose and Dulcinea run towards the place quickly as they screamed his name. They were surprised that this thing took Piglette and Puss for some reason, and the floor was very deep.
"I am alright! Come down, quick!" Puss shouts as he at least assured his friends he was okay.
"Shall we?" Jose politely said as he offers Dulcinea to go first, which she smiles at Jose. Dulcinea jumps, as well as Jose right after her. They both used their swords and sticks it to the metal so that it can make them slide down to the place where Puss is without any risk. They finally made it and to their joyful surprise, they see a secret hideout full of evidence and clues that can very helpful for them.
"Jose, Dulcinea!" Puss in Boots said as he runs and hugs Dulcinea and Jose and have a moment to be grateful that they are alright.
"Urgh yuck! You guys suck!" says Piglette, while Dulcinea looks at her seriously.
"Okay, miss, tell us what we want to know or we will find out ourselves," Dulcinea says as she tries to talk to her politely, but the disgraceful Piglette puffs her nose in an angry way, refusing to agree to Dulcinea's terms.
"It's Okay, Dulcinea. We got a lot of proofs involving her dirty works here. Like the massacre in Sahara Square, shocker! Wow, a kidnapping of two otters? terrifying, but that crime was solved and they are saved so hooray the Ottertons. And finally, the clincher. The kidnapping of Ricky," Jose playfully said as he looks at files, computers, and old records full of proofs that could put Piglette behind bars for a long time.
"So yeah, I did it! What the fuck it proves, that I am just a con working for the crime lord?" Piglette finally confesses her crimes as Puss, Dulcinea, and Jose was serious. Their fists muscles were cracking as they approach her on her desk, while the pig wasn't terrified by their looks.
"No, Piglette. It proves that you are a liar who orchestrated a lot of crimes and killed innocent animals, all for what? So that the White Devil and the deceased Red Devil can give you a free passageway to the top of the order in Zootopia?" said Puss as like a veteran detective, while Piglette was in shocked that he mentioned the Red Devil.
"Wait, deceased? How do you three know that he died?" she says as her desperation levels increased from her heart to her veins, while Jose was looking for books one by one.
"Because, Piglette, we killed him. That's why the White Devil has a grudge with me," Dulcinea confirms to the corrupted mayor about the red devil, which Piglette thought to herself, and can finally see why her boss acts so mean and full of anger.
"So, she is very mad cause you two killed her boyfriend? Ha, like I care less about it! I hope she kills you all!" says Piglette, while Puss and Dulcinea did not like her sickening words one bit, but Jose was still busy looking and passing by books.
"Yeah, yeah. Wouldnt be the first time for one of us if she does," he says as he sarcastically was joking about the fact that the White Devil killed him a while back. Piglette look confused by his words, but Puss and Dulcinea took a moment and breath slowly like their breaths were reminders about the painful day they almost lost their human best friend Jose.
"What the holy hell are you looking at my books?" Piglette says with so much anger and frustration as Puss and Dulcinea were wondering what is he doing with those books.
"Nothing, my delicious porky friend. Just want to see more about the drawing of a pig killing a white cat with red eyes," says Jose and his response made Piglette very nervous and Puss can hear her heart beat so fast he can tell she is afraid.
"What are you saying, Jose? That there might more to this situation that the ZPD doesn't know?" Dulcinea asks as she goes with Jose. Puss stays guard and draws his sword so that Piglette does not pull any surprises.
Jose takes out a red book, with the same drawing as the picture of the wall from earlier, and sees a large paper strapped by a rubber band. Dulcinea and Puss gasp in curiosity, while Piglette was scared.
"Don't open it!" she pleads, but Jose takes out the rubber band and opens the paper anyways. Dulcinea and Jose were in shocked by what they saw and they handed it to Puss to see it and he too was surprised.
"A map?" Jose says.
"Towards the White Devil's lair?" Dulcinea replies.
"Along with every single chambers, rooms, entry points, and every place in the lair!?" Puss in Boots says as all three of them were in shocked and in surprised that Piglette had a paper of so much information under her house and kept it a secret.
"You were planning a double cross, weren't you?" Jose said, while Piglette closes her eyes and laughs diabolically.
"So the secret is out. Yes, I was planning to double cross the White Devil," she confesses of the betrayal she was planning for the Devil, while the three groups of friends were shocked and in disbelief about it.
"Why?" Dulcinea asks as the pig's actions don't make sense for the white cat.
"Why? Because she plans to kill the entire world of Zootopia with a fucking atomic bomb!" she yells as she was clueless enough that she had spoiled the White Devil's plans to them.
"Atomic bomb!?" Jose screams as Dulcinea and Puss were worried.
"Jose, what is an atomic bomb?" Puss asks his worried friend.
"Puss, an atomic bomb is a weapon that can be triggered up in the skies. It is like a tiny bomb, but a powerful one, and once it hits the ground..." Jose said as he stopped talking, leaving Puss and especially Dulcinea fearing for the worst.
What... what happens then?" Dulcinea said with her eyes showing her fears and worries for everyone in Zootopia including her friends.
"Mostly everybody dies, no matter how far a town is. Is like saying, the whole world could die with a drop on the ground and snap off its fingers combine."
Jose's last words were full of fear and scariness as Puss and Dulcinea gasp in shock and in horror thinking about the number of animals would die at the hands of the White Devil, all because she has a vendetta on Dulcinea.
"Ha! There is no stopping her and her ship. Unless..." Piglette says as her last word were like a spark of hope that Puss desperately wanted to have, for everyone's sake. So he marches quickly towards her position and draws his sword close to her nose.
"Please, evil mayor, finish what you were about to say. I demand it!" His voice was so demanding that she had to roll her eyes in disgust, which did not suit Puss well as he looked so sacred, that he had to hold Dulcinea's right paw to see if she is alright mentally. She gives Puss a worried look on her face, but her eyes made Puss realize that everything will be okay.
"Before you answer, tell me this. Did Ricky had a way to stop the atomic bomb ship? Jose said as his detective skills were shown on display, puzzling the kidnapping of the doctor, how his inventions and gadgets helped the ZPD for so long, his interest according to the White Devil, and his time at the main base where he is. It all made sense now.
" How did you.." Maykr Piglette was shockingly stunned by Jose's observations.
"Thank you, mayor. You just gave me the key that we need to save Zootopia." Jose says.
"No matter, because if you enter her domain, you will all die at her hands. You will know pain like never before, and she will destroy all Zootopia. And after she finishes Zootopia and her personal issues with you three, I will betray her, leaving me with all the glory and rule Zootopia all for myself. So yes, I will do whatever it takes to get there, even if it means I have to kill a black panther, kidnap otters, and assign bounty hunters to kill you three in the Devil's name and go to another world and murders in cold blood innocent and weak bitches!"
Puglette's emotions were full of betrayal, ruthless, heartless, and mischievous as her words were very clear to them, as they took a breather with their heads down and their arms all tied up.
"You got everything?" Jose said as everyone was curious about what he meant.
"Yes, Jose. We've got enough evidence to arrest her. Good job and thinking, Jose. Pizza on me?"
"Pepperoni and cheese, please. I'll deliver."
"Okay, Jose. See you then."
"Looking forward to it, Officer Hopps."
Judy Hopps was calling Jose using her phone because Jose was recording everything from the start using a camera hidden in the circular plates of his shoulders from his suit, and Piglette couldn't believe this while Puss and Dulcinea were surprised but were happy about his smartness.
"No! There is no chance in hell you did that!" she yells at Jose, who walks towards her face and signals his hidden camera as he is clicking with his tongue.
"It's called a hustle, sweetheart. Boom!" Jose said as he roasted Piglette. More importantly, he was beyond happy that he finally said what he wanted to say for a very long time.
Puss and Dulcinea callee the ZPD to get to their position using a red phone they saw from the hideout and all three of them grabbed Piglette as they push the button and made the desk and its floors to go back up.
Once back up there, they were forcing Piglette to walk towards the door, until Jose stops everyone as he senses danger ahead.
"You sense this?" he says as Puss and Dulcinea were ready for whatever's coming. Then, a rocket launcher hit the house multiple times that everything was on fire.
"White, I got the house insights and we are destroying it as we speak," says Dawn Bellwether, as she was ordering her henchmen to fire those launchers and destroy all evidence in that house.
"Keep firing!" she screams like she wants Dulcinea, Puss, Jose, and Piglette dead. Meanwhile, everyone in the house was covering, running, and falling down a lot as the launchers did not end and the house was burning.
"Puss, what do we do!?" Dulcinea said, so desperately wanting to leave. Puss uses his eyes to think of a way out.
"Dulcinea, Jose! Go on top!" says Puss as he sees the rooftops being open. As it may be their only way out, everyone run as Jose gets Piglette up and ran towards the opening to the rooftops with the wildfire pursuing them.
The roofs were collapsing each second as everyone was dodging them and running for their lives.
"We are almost there!" Puss exclaims as he sees the rooftop just a few inches away. But a big boulder and pule of rocks were about to lose their only chance at escape.
"No!" Dulcinea says as she fears they are too late. Jose then runs quick enough to hold the heavy boulder, which Puss and Dulcinea were scared.
"Dulcinea, Puss! Take Piglette and get the fuck out of here!" Jose says as he struggles to maintain his hold on it.
"Jose, no! You cannit do this!" says Dulcinea, stopping her march and crying at her friend, fearing he might not make it. Puss hugs her to take some of her pain away but looks at Jose serious, like it's his turn to protect her in Jose's absence.
"Go!" Jose screams as Puss takes Dulcinea with him and Piglette following them, leaving Jose behind.
"Jose!" Dulcinea screams as her echoes were like the sounds of a sad child watching its parents or a loved one die to protect it.
Once to the rooftop, which is seventy feet high, they see clear water and they needed to jump.
"Dulcinea we need to jump now!" says Puss to his sad friend, while the fire made it to the top, as he was holding Piglette.
"But Jose! We must..." Dulcinea starts breaking her voice and heart as she thinks of Jose. Puss holds both her shoulders while puts a motionless Piglette down so that he can knock some sense into her.
"Dulcinea! Now, this is not the time to be sad! I know you feel sad for him, but he gave us a chance to survive! I miss him too, but trust me, if roles were switched, you and I would have done the same for him!"
Puss words were like the clear sound of love that needed to be sung as Dulcinea realized to what Jose did for them. She takes off her tears, fully clear what she needs to do know as she gets Piglette up and fives it to Puss, who was surprised by her approach with some fire and determination in her heart.
"Let's jump!" she shouts as the fire spread closer and everyone followed her quickly.
She and Puss, along with Piglette, ran to the edge of the rooftop where they can jump. Puss and Dulcinea seemed that were ready to jump at the same time, but Dulcinea stops and pushes Puss so he can jump to the water without no stopping his feet, as well as Piglette. He looks surprised and raises his hands to reach a regretful Dulcinea.
"I'm sorry, Puss. Can't live knowing that I've made the same mistake twice," she says to herself as her intentions were pure and she heads back inside the building.
"Dulcinea!" Puss screams as he sees his mate getting back inside. On his mind, it's saying: "Why, Dulcinea, why?!" like he cannot believe she did such a thing. But in his heart, it's saying "Please be careful and bring him home.".
"Argh, fuck. Hehe, dead by a building squashing me and fire burning through my corpse? I never thought I'd be food before Piglette. At least I can come back to Zootopia in a hundred years, and see Judy have bunnies of her own, and maybe Dulcinea and Puss can have their own kittens when I get back to my world, who knows?"
Jose, even if the building is almost about to squash him like a bug and is spreading wildly, still finds the time to make jokes and think positive about all the bad surrounding him. The ricks finally made Jose fall and own its way to obliterate him, a white cat who refuses to leave him behind helps him with the boulder as Jose was shocked and stunned.
"Dulcinea!?" he said as both struggled but slowly lifted the rocks with their combined strengths. They screamed for their wills to come out as they lifted the boulder and pile of rocks out of the way and began running back to the rooftop, while the launchers and the fire were not stopping.
"I thought I said to go!" Jose screams as the adrenaline of what's happening made him go crazy. They went back to the rooftop but the fire was covering the edge and the building was starting to collapse. They had no choice but to run through the fire.
"I lost you once in my arms. I will not do the same again!" she says.
"But why?" Jose said as he wants to know the reason even though he knows it.
"Because you are my best friend, and I wouldn't leave you with all my heart!" she yells at the pressure of the danger, but her voice was more than enough to burn Jose's heart with happiness and joy. They all manage to go through the fire and jumped, while the building comes crashing down like the Pyramids, and Puss alongside Piglette were almost down to the water.
"Jose, I'm scared," Dulcinea says, admitting she is scared about losing Puss, himself, and everyone she ever cares about at the hands of the White Devil. She also fears that this time, she does not have the powers to stop this.
Jose sees her fears through her eyes, and with a small and sensitive look, he holds her left paw with his right hand and smiles for a bit.
"Me too. Thank you," he said as she was glad that she did what her heart was right and save one of her truest friends. Jose fears that Dulcinea and Puss will lose against this threat and that his mistake by keeping a secret from them four months ago made the White Devil more powerful than ever. But after what Dulcinea did for him, coming back and use all of her strength to save him from absolute semi-death, he was grateful that she disobey Puss and his wishes and followed her kind and humble heart.
They grabbed speed fast as they were down and catches up with Puss. He immediately hugs Dulcinea and Jose very hard, like he thought he lost them, but more importantly, that he feared the worst and they managed to come back alive.
They closed their eyes and only cared about each other and their hug, like what they been through now made their bo so much stronger and were now able to understand what it takes to be there for their friends no matter what. Piglette's house came down to the water, as well as Piglette, Puss in Boots, Dulcinea, and Jose, as the rocket launchers have finally ended but the damaged has been done.
Bellwether smiles as she and the rest of her crew leave the place as sirens from firefighters and ZPD officers from far away were on the way.
All that stands are Puss, Dulcinea, and Jose in the water, holding their hands and paws, smiling at each other, and putting their heads on each other to show their undying love to each other, even after the destruction that was behind them, because no destruction can ever break their heart.
