In the foothills of the mountains Zorro was hiding out in an abandoned shack
He had been wounded in the last skirmish and had applied cactus juice to his wounds
But they were taking longer to heal as he was getting older
He was now facing organised gangs
They were armed with guns
Zorro as always only used his swords
The Much K gang had kidnapped his beloved Esmeralda
He had tried to rescue her once but they had hidden her well
Many had died in trying to stop Zorro
But his attempt was empty
It had been many years since he had descended from the mountains
And he knew that he would return shortly
But first he had to rescue Esmeralda
He might experience much pain during his mission
But he knew that his happiness would seem deeper and more intense when she was once again in his burning arms
He would return her to her father so that she might live a long and fruitful life before joining him once again in the over world
Time was running out
And because of this he bandaged his wounds
Soon he would be riding towards the hacienda where he thought she might be
He had begun his final journey
