Puss in Boots (Shrek)/Synopsis

The synopsis of Puss in Boots from the Shrek franchise.
== Biography==
===Background===
Once, Puss was a little orphaned kitten whose basket was blew across a barren wasteland to the town of San Ricardo. There, he turned up on the doorstep of a woman named Linda, who ran an orphanage. She immediately took him in as her child and bought Puss inside for a meal. However, some other orphans weren't very happy with his present and tried to show him away, so an egg by the name of Humpty Alexander Dumpty stands up for him but is also bullied. Fortunately, Puss saves him, earning Humpty's admiration. One day, Puss walks in on the egg experimenting with a mechanism to grow a bean. Humpty explains his dream to one day find the legendary magic beans and growing them into a beanstalk into the heavens, where he'd find the legendary golden eggs and finally be where he belongs. Puss agrees to help him in his quest and joins the "Bean Club", becoming blood-brothers with Humpty and together, the two swipe beans from everywhere in an attempt to finally find a magic bean in the discord. 
However, years pass and the two, now teenagers, decide to put their dream on hold. Puss and Humpty get into trouble frequently with the law, causing Imelda to convince them that they're better than this. One day, as Humpty vents to Puss about how he wishes to leave San Ricardo and have his own life, he accidentally chucks a rock at a loosely shut crate, unleashing the bull inside which charges straight at the Commandante's (one of the chief guards) mother. Leaping into action, Puss yanks the bull down and incapacitates it right before it hits the old lady, being applauded as a hero. Being given a pair of boots, a belt and a hat as a reward, he agrees to change for the better and stop his mischief.
However, Humpty doesn't do the same thing and despite Puss trying to change him and getting him out of jail multiple times, he still keeps getting in trouble with the law. One night, Humpty wakes Puss and tells him that he's in "trouble", asking him to help lift him over a wall to escape. However, Puss quickly realizes he just let Humpty into the San Ricardo bank, with the egg leaping back down onto the cart with numerous bags of money, which he plans to use in his life out of town. Puss is furious and the two argue, but they are spotted by the Commandante who accuses the cat of robbery. Forced to escape, Puss rides away on the wagon, spotting Imelda along the way who is heartbroken by this sight. Arriving at the town bridge, the wagon collapses and falls into the river below, with Humpty slipping and landing on his back. With the guards approaching, he begs Puss to help him up but the cat, angered at his betrayal, orders him to help himself before diving into the river, escaping and beginning a new life as an outlaw.
Fortunately for Puss, when alone in the desert he meets the legendary El Guante Blanco, who, feeling sympathy for the outlaw, teaches him the ways of the sword and contributes with Puss becoming the famed outlaw and hero he is today, with the two parting ways once Puss had learnt all there was to.
===The Adventures of Puss in Boots===
The series sees Puss in Boots fight off an endless legion of invaders to protect the previously hidden city of San Lorenzo, after his actions unintentionally broke the spell that protected its legendary mystic treasure from the outside world and must also find a way to restore the protection spell that will cloak the town once more. One of his most notable foes was the Bloodwolf, which led to him forming the Senor Puss Squad against him. In season six, Puss goes back in time just as he entered San Lorenzo for the first time and refuses to return this time, to his regret.
===Puss in Boots===
Puss is the main and titular character of the movie, a prequel that acts as an origin story of sorts. The movie begins with him bidding farewell to his latest lover after releasing her from her master's captivity. However, when taking his boots back, Puss accidentally wakes the old man and causes him to chase him, although he is stumbled by the numerous traps that have been set up. Arriving at a bar, Puss is initially mocked by the other outlaws there, but after quickly slicing off the moustache off one of them, they quickly quieten down and respect him, as well as deciding not to report him to the guards. There, Puss asks for recommendations for his next heist, turning down all of them except for one: heisting the magic beans from Jack and Jill. He accepts the recommendation and tracks the criminal couple to their room, sneaking in, but just as he is about to ambush them, he spots a masked black cat, also after the beans in the room. Puss tries to shoo them away, insisting the beans are his, with an argument breaking out between them, causing Jack and Jill to notice them and chase them away.
Tracking down the black cat to an underground cat bar, Puss angrily accuses them of making him lose his chance to steal the beans and challenges the cat to a one-on-one duel. Instead, the black cat starts dancing, pointing out the weekly dance fight notice on the wall and thus challenges Puss to one. The dance-off ends in a stalemate, so the two engage in an actual duel with Puss knocking off the black cat's mask, revealing them to be a woman. Shocked at this revelation, he attempts to apologise to her, tailing her as he enters a backroom. Suddenly, Puss smells something breakfasty and familiar. Whipping around, he sees his former friend Humpty Dumpty. The egg introduces the black cat as Kitty and reveals that he wants to ask Puss for help in finding the magic beans as well so that they can fulfil their childhood dream. However, Puss refuses to assist him and leaves through a back alley despite Humpty's pleas.
Catching up to Puss, Kitty asks why he hates Humpty so much, to which Puss explains his past. Humpty arrives, revealing that he too, regrets his past but if they steal the golden eggs, they can redeem themselves by paying back San Ricardo with their bounty. Puss agrees and they set off, first tracking down Jack and Jill's wagon in a canyon. Puss and Kitty sneak in, with Puss picking the lock of the box holding the beans due to Kitty not having any claws. However, he accidentally wakes one of the piglets, causing Jack and Jill to notice them. A brawl erupts between the two parties, in which the cats successfully steal the beans and hop onto Humpty's wagon, but they approach a cliff. Fortunately, it's revealed that Humpty installed a glider into the wagon, and they fly to safety.
Venturing across the desert, Kitty recounts how she lost her claws after she misbehaved when she was adopted by a wealthy couple, being declawed after she accidentally killed their hamster and destroyed their curtains. Puss comforts her by telling her that cat people are all crazy and that she wasn't bad for doing that. Arriving at their destination, Humpty plants the beans under a huge storm cloud. The beans sprout into an enormous beanstalk that carries them up to the clouds. Arriving in the clouds, Humpty changes into his golden egg disguise. Frolicking in the sky, he points out to Puss a hill and, recalling their past as children, encourages him by saying that their adventure could inspire some other two orphan nobodies to be great too.
The trio arrive at the Giant's Castle which the Golden Goose inhabits. However, as they venture through the castle, they hear disconcerting rumbling and cries, which Humpty explains is the sound of the Great Terror, the guardian of the Golden Goose which kills all who meet its gaze. The trio traverse across a gap from the giant's tabletop to a lush jungle, where within they discover the Golden Goose and its eggs. Seeing as the eggs are too heavy, the trio just decide to take the Goose itself but just as they are about to leave, they hear the cry of the Great Terror and escape. Plunging into the gap, they escape via the sewage and glide down the beanstalk using its leaves.
Back on the ground, Puss and the party celebrate their victory, cutting down the beanstalk as well. However, using the beanstalk as a guide, Jack and Jill track down Puss and his friends and ambush them, knocking them out. He awakens in the desert alone with Kitty and Humpty both gone. Assuming that the two were kidnapped, Puss tracks the trail of Jack and Jill's wagon all the way back to San Ricardo. Venturing throughout the town, he suddenly hears Humpty's cries from behind a corner butt when he turns around, he sees the egg having a party with Jack and Jill, the outlaws in the bar and Kitty. Puss is confused, so Humpty reveals the truth: Puss's whole adventure had been set up by him, with Humpty hiring Jack and Jill, as well as the outlaws to trick Puss into helping him get the Golden Goose. Guards surround Puss, who have finally come to arrest him for the "bank robbery". He attempts to fend them off, but Imelda arrives, pleading for him to do what's right since he's already in trouble. Defeated, Puss turns himself in and becomes heartbroken when it turned out that Kitty was in on the whole thing herself. As he was being locked up, the townspeople celebrate Humpty as a hero for giving out the Golden Eggs.
Locked up in prison, Puss meets another prisoner in his cell: Andy "Jack" Beanstalk, the original owner of the magic beans and the first one to reach the Giant's Castle. There, Jack reveals that Humpty stole the beans from him when they shared a cell as well as telling Puss Humpty's true ultimatum: to lure the Golden Goose's mother, the Great Terror to San Ricardo and destroy it as revenge. Realizing the urgency of the situation, Puss attempts to lure a guard into freeing his cell with his cute face, but he's sprayed in the face by a sprayer as the guard resists the temptation. Fortunately, Kitty arrives and, knocking out the guard, frees both Puss and Jack, revealing that she found that she has feelings for Puss after their travels.
With Kitty distracting the guards, Puss tracks down Humpty. The egg expresses how he feels that San Ricardo always rejected him and that he's a bad egg, but Puss assures him that he's still good deep down and that he'll be forgiven if he helps to save the town. Humpty agrees and, using his glider, flies the Golden Goose down just as the Great Terror arrives. As Humpty drives out of town, Puss calms the Terror down and guides it away from San Ricardo and to its chick. Following several close encounters with the Commandante and Jack and Jill, Puss and Humpty finally reach the bridge, but it collapses under the Terror's weight, with the Goose and Humpty both narrowly falling off the bridge. Humpty tries to convince Puss to save the Goose instead, having done so much wrong in his life, but Puss refuses to let go and let his friend die.
Humpty, recognizing how much his friend loves him, decides that he'll be the one to say goodbye, letting go of the rope and letting himself drop to his death. Puss pulls the Goose up and, looking down at Humpty's remains, sees that he literally was a golden egg after all. With that, the Terror is reunited with her chick, and, picking up Humpty's remains, flies back to the Castle. Returning back to town, Puss mourns for his friend's death, but begins overhearing gossip from the locals on how he's a hero. Reuniting with Imelda, he gives her an offering of a bird as an apology, but she simply expresses her pride and joy in him. With that, Puss leaves to evade the guards. On the rooftops he meets Kitty again, who, playfully stealing his boots, gets him to chase her again into the sunset. In the post-credits' scene, Puss and Kitty are dancing in the bar they met in and kiss passionately.
===Puss in Boots: The Three Diablos===
After the events of the film, Puss is riding his horse through the desert when he is captured by Italian knights. He is then taken to Princess Alessandra Belagomba, whose "Heart of Fire" Ruby, the crown jewel of her kingdom, is missing. At first, it is believed that Puss is being wrongfully charged for the theft, but it later turns out that the Princess only wants to hire him based on his reputation, revealing that a thief called "The Whisperer" was the one who committed the crime and that the Princess' knights have captured three of his henchmen. The henchmen turn out to be three kittens called the Three Diablos. Though Puss cannot believe that such innocent creatures could be thieves, the princess and her guards are terrified of them. The kittens kindly agree to help Puss on the premise that they will be free if they return the ruby.
When Puss takes the kittens to the desert, the kittens quickly turn on him (revealing their backstabbing nature) and bury him alive. Later, Puss escapes and recaptures the kittens using his wide eyes against theirs. Later, he talks about sending them back to jail for double-crossing him, but he learns that they have no family and are orphans like him. He then sympathetically tells them how he also knows it's tough not knowing whom to trust and being led to the wrong path, making an example of how Humpty betrayed Puss, just as the Whisperer has done to them. Puss then decides to point the Diablos in the right direction and trains them how to fight and plays with them, becoming friends. He also gives them names: Perla (because she is one of a kind), another Gonzalo (for his scrappy temper) and the other Sir Timoteo Montenegro the Third (a title is all he needs).
The next day, the kittens, turning over a new leaf, show Puss to The Whisperer's secret hideout, and are immediately confronted by The Whisperer himself, who, by his name, has a low voice volume and uses his hat as a cone to speak clearly. It is also revealed that The Whisperer himself has used the heart as a decoration for his own belt. After learning that the Diablos brought Puss to him to recover the heart, the Whisperer is about to make them pay for their betrayal, but Puss fights him and lets the kittens escape. They, however, return to help Puss with what they learned from him, and The Whisperer falls into a bottomless pit to his death. Puss then returns the heart to the Princess and is rewarded with gold, and he gives the Princess the kittens as her new personal bodyguards. They then say their goodbyes and Puss claims "He will never forget them, just as he is sure they will never forget the name of Puss in-"; unfortunately, the guards slam the doors before he can finish his goodbye.
===Shrek 2===
Recommended to King Harold by Doris (the Ugly Stepsister and barmaid of the Poison Apple Inn) as a famous ogre assassin, Puss is paid a great deal of money by king Harold to assassinate Shrek. However, unlike his fairy tale counterpart, he does not try to trick the ogre into changing into a mouse, but instead makes a direct, frontal assault on Shrek, which works up until the feline gags on a hairball, spitting it up. Shrek and Donkey think of what to do with him as Donkey even proposes to give him the 'Bob Barker treatment', but the swashbuckling cat begs for his life. Puss claims to have taken the contract to help his poor family, consisting of a litter of siblings, a sick mother and a father who lives off the garbage (although, considering his biological parents are dead, he was most likely lying so Shrek wouldn't harm him). Ultimately, the duo spares his life once it's revealed that he was hired by King Harold to kill him instead of it stemming from a personal agenda. Grateful and guilty for his actions, Puss proposes to the ogre that he owes a life debt to him and accompanies him and Donkey on their quest. Although there is some tension/rivalry between Puss and Donkey (who seems nervous that Puss is taking his place as the "annoying talking animal" of the team and as Shrek's best friend), the three eventually become close friends and allies.
Shrek appears to have accepted this debt, as Puss in Boots stays with him throughout the course of the film. He has also stated that he "hates Mondays". When Shrek and Donkey enter the castle to find Fiona and are being chased by the castle's knights, Puss repays his debt to Shrek by holding them off (he removes his hat, looks at the guards cutely, and then attacks them when they stop and say "aww!") After Shrek and Fiona get back together, and the king turns back to a frog, Donkey finds out he has become a dad. Due to the friendship that has developed, Puss decides to be Donkey's dronkeys' uncle.
===Shrek the Third===
Donkey and Puss remain in Far Far Away with Fiona and Shrek, helping the royal couple run the country in the place of the ailing king. Puss joins Shrek and Donkey on their journey to find Artie (Fiona's cousin and heir to the throne) and later encourages Shrek to be kinder to Artie to gain the teenager's trust. He also tries to advise Shrek who has just found out that Fiona is expecting a baby, on fatherhood.
When the group is magically sent back to Far Far Away by Merlin, Puss and Donkey have their bodies accidentally switched, something they were not happy about. The two swapped animals later join forces with the Far Far Away princesses and other captives of Prince Charming and help rescue Shrek. Towards the end of the movie, they confront Merlin and demand he put them in their correct bodies. He does so, although their tails seem to have been switched this time (in the next scene, this is shown to have been corrected as well).
At the end of the movie, Puss helps Shrek and Fiona care for their newborn ogre triplets. He has trouble with them pulling his fur and tail.
===Shrek the Halls===
In Shrek the Halls, Puss tells the story of Santa Claus as a smooth Spanish cat (similar to himself). He is distracted from telling the tale when he sees a glass Christmas tree ornament and begins batting at it. When he realizes what he was doing, he walks away muttering "I have shamed myself". Later, when Shrek explains that he never celebrated Christmas before and wanted it to come right, Puss tells his friend "Christmas just comes".
===Shrek Forever After===
In the alternate timeline created by Rumpelstiltskin, he is Fiona's fat and lazy house cat. However, Puss is also intrigued by the effect Shrek has on Fiona when he watches them interact, claiming that she is showing a spark that he had though had long died out, and quickly becomes convinced that he is her "true love". Therefore, he tries to assist him in winning her over. He also begins to bond with Donkey all over again as they help Shrek both in his plight to help him and Fiona fall in love again, as well as to end Rumpelstiltskin's rein over Far Far Away, and eventually, to some degree, regains his former abilities (though he's still gluttonous enough that, unfortunately, he ends up eating Gingy at one point). Once Shrek and Fiona defeat Rumpelstiltskin and share true love's kiss just before Shrek fades away, the timeline is undone, and Puss returns to his former self.
===Donkey's Caroling Christmas-tacular===
Puss appears at the Candy Apple with all his friends and when Donkey suggests that everyone sing their own Christmas song, Puss sings "Fleas Navidad" (a version of "Feliz Navidad" that they sing in his hometown at Christmas). At the end, everyone sings "Fairy Tale Rock" (a fairy tale version of "Jingle Bell Rock") together.
===Puss in Boots: The Last Wish===
Sometime after Shrek Forever After, Puss left Far Far Away and traveled overseas, as he missed the life of an adventurer. At some point, he hosts a party in a large, lavish mansion with all the common folk of Del Mar. However, it is soon revealed that the house he's using is the house of the Governor who returns home in the middle of the party. Angered at the cat trespassing into his home and making a mess of everything, he orders his guards to kill Puss and arrest the partygoers, but they are swiftly defeated by him. However, the commotion awakens the nearby giant that lives in the mountains who angrily storms to the mansion, kidnapping some of the people and causing destruction in the town. Fortunately, Puss steps into action and, tricking the giant into hitting himself with the church bell, swiftly defeats him and frees the people. The townspeople applaud him, but just as he is about to perform one last guitar solo to appease them, he is crushed by the bell.
Puss awakens in the local vet's office, who tells him he has died. While he initially laughs it off, possessing nine lives due to being a cat, Puss quickly realizes he accidentally spent seven of his nine lives already, with his latest death being the eighth. The vet advises Puss to retire to keep himself safe, but he shrugs it off and goes to the bar to get a drink and relax.
Sitting alone, Puss suddenly hears a menacing whistle and notices a towering, hooded wolf seated next to him. The Wolf claims to be a fan, but when he asks Puss to sign his wanted poster specifically on the word "dead", Puss notices something is off. Believing the foe to be a simple bounty hunter, he prepares to fight the Wolf, but his attacks are all easily dodged, with his rapier being effortlessly knocked away. Puss retrieves his rapier and attacks again but the Wolf dodges and parries all his attacks using his twin sickles, with the fight ending in his rapier being swatted to the floor and his head being grazed by the sickles. Realizing he's met his match and that if he loses, his death will be permanent, Puss begins to panic, life flashing before his eyes. Smelling the scent of Puss's blood, the Wolf becomes eerily excited and beckons his victim to pick up his rapier, but Puss, too frightened to fight, runs into the bathroom and escapes through the sewers.
Fearful of the Wolf coming for him, Puss decides to heed the vet's advice and retire, travelling to a cat sanctuary run by Mama Luna. There, he performs a "funeral" for his iconic outlaw outfit, burying it in a grave he digs in the home's yard before ringing the doorbell. He is welcomed in, given mittens for his paws and christened "Pickles". Puss is disgusted by the living standards of the other cats, having lived like a human all his life, but is forced to go with it. Some time passes and Puss grows depressed and bored, growing a beard in the process. One day during a meal, he meets a stray dog disguised as a cat named Perrito, who attempts to befriend the cat and console him due to his dream of becoming a therapy dog, much to Puss’s annoyance. Puss is followed by the dog, who tries to cheer him up by offering belly rubs. Suddenly, Puss sees what seems to be the Wolf's silhouette in the window and hides with Perrito under a drawer.
Fortunately for the cat, the silhouette is revealed to just be that of Goldilocks and her adoptive family the Three Bears, who have come to find Puss to try and employ him. Papa and Mama Bear attempt to interrogate Mama Luna, causing her to faint from their menacing appearances so instead Goldilocks and Mama search for Puss while Baby sniffs him out and Papa torments Luna by stuffing her into a piano and playing it. Puss is nearly found out by Mama, but as Goldi doesn't recognise him, they leave him be. Baby picks up Puss's scent at the garden, discovering his "grave", which he believes is proof that the cat is truly dead. However, Puss and Perrito overhear their conversation on how they planned to hire him to steal a map to the Wishing Star from Big Jack Horner. Though scared of the infamous crime boss's wrath, especially since he is on his last life, Puss realizes that he can use the Wishing Star to regain his nine lives and thus, unearthing his old outfit and wearing it again, sets out to Jack Horner Pie Co.
Puss arrives at Jack Horner Pie Co., with Perrito tagging along despite his protests, giving him a stick to replace his rapier. Breaking into Jack's collection room alone, he witnesses the crime boss receiving the chest with the map inside from the Serpent Sisters. Hiding behind a collection of items, Puss opens the chest only to find Kitty Softpaws inside, already clutching the map. The two are surprised to see each other but, having a grudge over a previous incident, they fight over the map. Goldilocks and the Bears suddenly burst in, recognizing Kitty from hiring her before and being surprised at Puss's presence, believing him to be dead. Jack Horner, noticing the two parties, attacks as well, causing a scuffle between the three. Puss and Kitty manage to escape the factory from Jack's minions, still fighting over the map and get onto a cart which Perrito found.
Riding through the town, Puss and his companions are still being hounded by Jack's underlings, so he decides to toss the bags of coins loaded onto the floor, causing citizens to scramble for them and create a blockade. However, in the crowd he also spots the Wolf, who menacingly gestures to him. Arriving at the Dark Forest, Puss and Kitty fight for the map again until Perrito convinces them to just share it for now. Using the map, they discover that the landscape changes names and appearance based on its holder, becoming a hellish landscape of magma for Puss, a dark swamp for Kitty and a tranquil and colorful forest for Perrito. Allowing the dog to hold the map, they venture into a field of giant flowers, which attack the party. However, Perrito quickly discovers the secret to crossing the forest: literally stop and smell the roses. Puss and Kitty both are confused by how optimistic Perrito is, so he tells them a "funny story" of his life: when he was a puppy, he would always "play hide-and-seek" with his owners, always being tossed into random places such as trash piles, but he'd always find his way back. One day, his owners place him in a knotted sock with a rock and drop him in the river, but Perrito manages to escape, never to see his family again. Horrified by this tragic story, Puss and Kitty remark that he deserves the wish more than them, but Perrito simply says that with two friends and a comfy sweater, he has no need for the wish.
Travelling along a river, Kitty shaves Puss' beard and hands him a dagger to use as a replacement for his sword instead of the stick. Tossing the stick to shore, Perrito goes to fetch it and gets kidnapped by Jack and his Baker's Dozen, who hold him ransom for the map. However, Goldilocks and the bears arrive as well, hoping to get it as well and a free-for-all erupts, with Jack accidentally killing many of his own men. In the midst of the chaos, Puss hears the Wolf's eerie whistle and, in a panic, flees into the woods, allowing Goldilocks to take the map. Running as fast as he could, Puss eventually collapses near a tree and suffers a panic attack.
Fortunately, Perrito follows along and manages to calm him down. Puss reveals the cause of his grudge with Kitty: on the day of their wedding, feeling frightened of the uncertainty of marriage, Puss left her at the altar alone, never even coming to the church. Kitty, having been secretly listening to the exchange between the two, arrives and guides the two out of the forest and back on track, revealing to Puss that she too, never turned up, feeling that she could never compete with someone who loved himself that much but that now, she forgives him and even considers trying to share the wish with Puss. Looking out, they spot a cottage with smoke coming from its chimney, which they realize Goldi and her family are currently resting in. Entering the house, they find them all snoozing away but when Puss yanks the map from a honey puddle, he attracts Goldi's attention who awakens the bears, and another brawl begins, with the landscape constantly changing as they scuffle over the map. They successfully escape but as Puss touches the map, the landscape changes again and Perrito is captured by Goldi and the bears while a giant crystal cavern forms around him. Kitty goes off to find the dog while Puss tries to navigate out of the cave.
Wandering about, Puss finds giant crystal reflections of his past lives. They attempt to convince him to use the wish to regain his lives and become a hero again but Puss, remembering the loneliness and hurt he went through, decides that he doesn't want it that much, having found true friends to treasure. The reflections begin mocking him for his attitude change, but the Wolf suddenly enters and begins shattering them. He reveals his true nature to Puss: the literal manifestation of Death, who has come to claim his last life as a punishment for wasting his eight other ones. Finally faced with the one whose face he used to laugh in, Puss scrambles for the exit, Death's mocking face reflecting on the walls until he leaves, running as fast as he could.
Puss keeps running until suddenly, he reaches the edge of a cliff, where he sees the Wishing Star lying below. He quickly slides down but is spotted by Kitty and Perrito who arrive as well. Kitty is heartbroken, expressing that she wanted to use the map to finally get what she wished for: somebody to trust in, and having trusted Puss she feels betrayed, believing him to be restoring his lives to sate his ego. Puss attempts to explain his circumstances, telling her that Death is after him, getting her attention but Goldilocks and the bears, along with Jack and his final minion arrive to get their hands on the map. An all-out brawl erupts between the groups, with Jack accidentally sending his last underling flying and being pushed into his bottomless bag by Kitty. Goldilocks also decides to give up her chance at the wish after seeing Baby Bear almost being thrown off the Star, deciding that she no longer needs to wish to meet her biological family, with her adoptive ones being just right.
However, emerging from the Star's barrier arrives Death, who wishes to challenge Puss to one final duel. Creating a wall of flame around them, to make sure he doesn’t escape and that his friends don’t back him up, he shoves the cat his rapier, asking him if he'd choose the coward's way out: wishing for his lives back or step up to the challenge. Puss, having realized the value of his last life and now having friends to protect and live for, accepts Death's challenge and the two clash. Death temporarily disarms Puss, but he uses Kitty's Gatito Blade to parry the attack and retrieve his blade before disarming the wolf. As an inversion of their first battle, Puss asks Death to pick his sickles back up, telling him that he knows that while he can never escape Death, he wishes to keep him at bay so he can cherish his one final life. Frustrated but impressed at his foe, Death curses in Spanish and stares into Puss's soul. However, he sees that Puss has truly acknowledged his mortality and has learnt how precious his life is. Admitting defeat, Death bids Puss goodbye, promising to meet again when the cat inevitably passes away, but not before making him promise he'll live life to the fullest.
Having defeated Death, Puss and Kitty make amends and peace with Goldi and her family. All of a sudden, a giant Jack reemerges from his bag, having eaten an "Eat Me" cookie and seizes the map, planning to wish for all the magic in the world. Fortunately, Perrito, mastering the cuteness technique used by Kitty and Puss, distracts him for long enough that the group manage to swipe the map and rip it up. The Star begins to collapse, prompting the group to escape. Stuck on the Star, Jack tries to make his wish, grabbing two pieces of the map but his Phoenix incinerates the missing piece, destroying it eternally. With that, Jack is sucked into the Star as it explodes in a shower of light back to the heavens, ending the crime lord's reign once and for all.
Admiring the shooting stars, Goldi and her gang leave on friendly terms with the cats and dog, planning to take over Jack's business now that he's dead. Puss and Kitty decide to finally be a couple, adopting Perrito as well and deciding that his current name will be his permanent one. Together, they relax under the night sky as a family, watching the star fall.
Sometime later, Puss, Kitty and Perrito steal the Governor's ship and set sail. Spotting a wanted poster aboard, Puss is annoyed how Perrito has caused authorities to coin them "Team Friendship". However, he and Kitty eventually shrug it off and continue on their journey to their destination and the home of some old friends: Far, Far Away.
=== Puss in Boots: The Trident ===
Sometime after the events of The Last Wish, Team Friendship are all relaxing round a campfire, where Perrito asks Puss to tell him the tale of one of his deaths, to which the cat agrees and recounts one of his travels: his heist of Poseidon's Trident.
When Puss first arrived in Del Mar, he noticed the town was suffering from a severe drought. Upon learning of the Trident, a magical relic that could multiply water, he goes off to steal it from a band of pirates. Sneaking onto their ship in the dead of night, Puss manages to claim it but accidentally awakens the ship's captain, who attacks him. Knocking him out, Puss nearly plunges to his death in a shark's jaws, but is rescued by Goldilocks and the Bears, who pry him off the Trident. 
However, Kitty arrives on the scene, employed by Jack Horner to take the Trident and, stealing Puss's lute, plays a screeching tune which awakens the pirates who attack the outlaws. In the chaos, Puss has several close calls with death and Kitty gets away with the Trident, with the Bears also pursuing her on a row boat. Angered at the loss of their Trident, the pirates stuff Puss into a cannon and plan to launch him but Kitty uses the relic to summon a tsunami which extinguishes the flame and washes the pirates away, returning to the ship to smugly greet him. 
With his pride wounded, Puss decides to convince her that he was actually in no danger at all and, proclaiming cannons as the transportation of the future, places himself into the cannon again and fires, only this time he actually gets blown up and dies, causing him to lose his fifth life. As Puss ends off his story, he shares a chuckle with Kitty over his death while Perrito remarks how fascinating yet idiotic Puss's death was.
