Trail of The Fox Part 6

Zorro leaves his signature mark over the reward posters all up and down the Camino del Real. Sergeant Pedro Gonzales calls him a cabrón and puto in Spanish, saying he thinks he's too clever to be caught. "Well I have news for this “Fox.”" A bystander says that Zorro is like a ghost. This enrages the Sergeant and he starts beating him, calling him a joto in Spanish. “Something special? I'll show you what he is. I'll show all of you S** B**.”

On his return voyage back to Pueblo de Los Angeles, at a much earlier time aboard the sailing ship, a crew member teaches him the finer points of knife tossing while he reads many of the books the captain had in his modest library. Off the island of Cuba they ran into some problems with pirates and the crew, not being adept with a blade, were eventually killed by the marauding pirates. Don Diego still does not lower his blade but a pirate respected his prowess with the blade and introduced himself as Jean Lafitte and imparted to him the title of licensed privateer of the State of Colombia. He allows Don Diego as well as Bernardo safe passage off the boat, but it must remain unknown unless they reach dry land. Don Diego looks at him questioningly and, with prompting, the captain inquires about his cape and if he were not afraid of it catching in such a battle as was just fought.left|thumb|523x523px

When set afloat in a boat, he and Bernardo paddled westward and Don Diego gave thanks to Santa Maria. They were headed to Panama and then would cross over dry land to the Pacific side. It actually was the Yucatan Peninsula and they continued to travel northward towards Mexico through jungles. Bernardo of the Tongva tribe was able to fashion a bow and arrow and capture small game like rabbits. Eventually they came to Mexico with some areas of grasslands and Don Diego was able to capture a horse which he called Sagebrush. After three months of riding the obviously well-trained horse, they arrived at La Hacienda de la Vega. But the military had captured the household of Alejandro de la Vega and considered him dangerous to the state, and upon their newly found horse they were able to escape to the Hill Country where the Tongva tribe was. Bernardo learned that his shaman grandmother White Owl had died. She had left a map that traced out some of the area below the hacienda de la Vega, in which Bernardo and Don Diego had explored before. In one area they came across a huge amount of gold, and Don Diego exclaims “Madre de Dios! Bernardo this is Gold! More than I've ever seen outside of a cathedral of course.” Don Diego realizes his calling. May his spirit guide, the fox, and he gives thanks to his grandmother abuela. They both set to work and did much work in excavating the gold. He bought the supplies they needed and even enlarged an entrance to the cavernous system behind a great waterfall.

The young Don Diego sent for supplies from Spain and continued to hone his swordsmanship skills with Bernardo. And to recapture the Black Stallion that had appeared to him years earlier on his quest. His adoptive grandmother had kept him but he had not been ridden by anyone else. His name came to be Tornado, named after the whirlwinds in the desert.

At a much later time, and Don Diego much older, he had just captured the coffers that would be the payroll for the soldiers from Ramon. The soldiers gave pursuit to the hooded and cape-wearing Zorro. Then Zorro begins to distribute the coinage he had procured from the soldiers, in a Robin Hood fashion, returning the gold to its rightful owners, beginning with a muchacho with no food to eat or even a centavo in their house.
