Hi guys. I watched Netflix Adventures of Puss in Boots and I really didn't like the ending of season 6. I think it was good and bad at the same time. So I decided to slightly change it and make a new story :)

Also this is my first fanfic and I'm not English guy so please forgive me language mistakes.

So let's rewrite the story a bit. Puss were managed to save the world without sending him back in time and losing everything. The portal to the Netherworld was closed, Sino never appeared (so Artephius is still with us :) ), and Puss and Dulcinea are finally together. And here where we join our hero. Hope you will enjoy it.

Chapter 1

Silence before the storm

It's been few months since Puss with his friends saved the world from inevitable destruction. The portal (or gateway as some called it) to the Netherworld was shut and feline was still a protector of San Lorenzo. Despite the fact of closing a portal he couldn't restore the barrier over the city. Nevertheless last months were pretty peaceful. Excluding a few incidents caused by local bandits nothing serious has happened.

Puss was walking down the streets enjoying a beautiful day. Citizens were doing their daily activity, some greeted him as they noticed ginger feline. Kids were playing by the fountain laughing and running blindly.

-"Ho, watch it Esme." – he said with a smile when little girl run into him.

-"Sorry, Puss" – she replied with a small giggle and returned to play with her mates

-"Love those kids" – he thought and continued walking. He was in great mood today and nothing would change it. Or so it seemed. No one could foresee what was going to happen that day.

Sun was high at the sky and people were heading the Pajuna's cantina as dinnertime was soon enough. And so did Puss. He entered the canteen and slowly walked to the bar. The place was crowded but one sit was free. He always sits there so no one ever was taking his place. After all, whole town respected him. He sat on a stool a greeted the cow.

-"Hello Pajuna. One leche for a hero"

-"Sure. You know any?" – cow replied with a smirk

-"Oh, are you trying to mock me?" – he asked – "Well that is not going to happen. Today nothing can get me out of balance."

-"Really?" – Pajuna poured a milk into a glass – "And what happened that you're so cheerful?"

-"I just have a great day. Weather is clear, no bandit have shown for two weeks, and leche is pretty good."

-"Have you heard about a phrase silence before a storm? If those thieves don't show up, then something big must be on the horizon."

-"Pajuna is right." – a female voice came from behind Puss' back. He turned around and saw a grey cat having sit next to him. – "Something must have happened. They never attack less frequently than every four or five days."

-"Or some other threat is closeby" - Pajuna added

-"Nah, you are overreacting. Nothing wrong can happen here anymore. And those thieves probably learned that they cannot defeat me." - he leaned his back angainst the table. - "I bet that we will not see any of them for some time."

Just as he finished those words a cantina door opened with a slam and a shape of a man showed in front of them. A single thug came inside. Puss looked at Dulcinea with innocent look.

-"Hehe, this time is runnig so fast"

He jumped quickly and charged at bandit. With no time he was pointing his sword at thieve's throat.

-"What are you looking here, Pablo" – said Puss with an anger on his face– "And where are the others?"

-"My name is Raul" – you could feel the irritation in his voice – "And I'm alone. I didn't come here to fight." – He moved a blade away from his throat. Puss was a bit surprised but he hadn't respond.

-"I just came to give you this" – Raul reached his pocket and handed Puss a rolled paper. The feline took it and unrolled it. It was a wanted poster.

"Who is that? – asked Dulcinea now standing next to Puss. They were looking at a blanc portrait place. There was only a name and a price.

-"El Diablo Blanco. Never heard of him. 50,000 reward?!" – Everyone in cantina cut their conversations. That was quite shocking news. Puss couldn't believe what he just red. 50,000 was enormous amount of money. He was wanted too but reward for Puss was just a 1,000 after it recently rose from 500. He had never seen such bounty. That guy must have been a great danger. And probably still was. He needed to know more about him.

-"What do you know about him? Who is he? Why the reward is so high? Are we in danger?" – Puss started to asking Raul rapidly. His morning joy disappeared. Now he was really concerned.

-"Easy fella. I just know there is a huge reward for his head and we are all leaving to search for him. If you want to hear about him ask that lizard in our camp. He's a headhunter who gave us this info. But I heard that this fox is called Diablo with a reason. Some says that he slaughtered whole city with a smile on his face."

Dulcinea gasped. - "The whole city? Just like that? For what?" - Her thoughts were full of questions. She couldn't imagine such act of terror. Puss looked serious. No wonder why the price is so high.

-"Why there is no face? How do we know how he looks like?" - Asked ginger.

-"I told you already. If you want to know something more, you need to ask that Garo guy. He gathers men for searching expedition"

-"I will for sure"

Raul just turned around and left the building. Pajuna was standing behind Puss.

-"What're you gonna do now?" - She asked.

-"I am going to find out some more about this Diablo." - He started to walk towards a door. He didn't knew who that wanted guy was. But he needed to know is he any danger for San Lorenzo. He left the canteen and headed the stables.

-"Puss!" - he heard calling behind him. Dulcinea was running towards him. She reached him by the fountain.

-What happend Dulcinea?"

-"Don't go. It's dangerous."

-"Do not worry. I will only ask for some information. I will be back before sunset."

-"Promise me you won't look for that guy"

-"Dulcinea, I love with all my heart. I would never leave you"

Dulcinea looked at Puss with a small sight of relief but her expression quickly changed.

-"Puss, I need to tell you something. I..."

-"Excuse me." - A low voice interupted their conversation. -"I'm sorry to interfere." - A black cat appeared by the fountain. - "Do you know where i can rent a room for a few days?

The newcomer put a bulky backpack on a ground. He was wearing a long, black coat. It's upper half was pretty tight and perfectly matched for his figure. Below his weist coat was loose and hang freely covernig back and sides of his legs. He also had a black trousers and high boots on him. They've never seen such clothing in this area.

-"Well...There's Pajuna's cantina." - Dulcinea responded. - "She probably has some spare rooms. It's that building over there"

-"Thank you. I will check there." - The black feline headed the canteen taking his bag with him.

-"Do not worry Dulcinea. I will be back soon." - Puss said and whistled on his fingers. A white horse arrived in a second and Puss jumped on it's back. He went down the street to the town gate.

-"But Puss...!" - Dulcinea called after him but he was already to far. She looked at his shadow in a distance hoping that he will be fine.

Will Puss be ok? What Dulcinea tried to tell him? And who is that El Diablo Blanco? Find out in next week.

Ok guys, hope you enjoyed that one. Fell free to comment and I will try to adjust
