Puss frantically looked from Death to the map. "You gonna take the coward's way out?" he snarled. "Run away to more lives?" his voice growing more menacing by the minute. He swung his sickles, drawing sparks from the metal. "Or are you gonna fight!" he barked, throwing Puss's rapier to him. Death started walking towards Puss, swinging his sickles over and over. His red eyes gleaming.
"Pick it up." he stated. Puss's eyes were wide with fear. "Go on. Pick it up." he said, a hint of irritation in his voice. Puss closed his eyes tightly. "What are you doing Puss?!" you screamed. When he opened his eyes again, you saw tears. (Literally it brought me to tears, fam)
"What's the matter? Lives flashing before your eyes?" Death teased.
"No. Just one. I'm done running." Puss countered, lifting his head with a smirk.
A smile lit up you and Kitty's face. Puss dropped the map and picked up his sword. "Fear me, if you dare!" he said, pointing his rapier at Death. Death eyes widened slightly before he chuckled. "This is going to be fun!" he smiled darkly.
In a flash, Death dashed to Puss. You quickly sat up. This was no time to cry, you had to help Puss. They were moving so fast you couldn't find an opening. You had to wait...for now. They both leaped into the air, slashing at each other. They came back down onto the star, sliding as they did. Puss's rapier slashed at his legs. Death dodged his attacks with such ease.
Death's moves started to get more aggressive, stabbing at Puss's, only to hit the crystal floor. Death had finally pinned Puss down, his rapier bending at Death's force. Puss pushed his sickle off and ran up Death's arm, kicking his face. You cringed as Death fell to the ground. Poor guy....Wait, what were you saying? You shouldn't feel bad for the wolf. No, you couldn't.
Death's fingers came to his mouth. "Bien. Muy bien." he praised, wiping a smudge of blood away. He spun his sickles then stuck them together. They turned to a staff! Your eyes widened. Puss's eyes widened. In a flash, Death was at Puss, stabbing his cape and slashing his boot. His sickle hit Puss's hat as he slashed it off. Then lastly his rapier.
Okay, now you had to help.
Death clicked his tongue. "You really gotta stop losing that." he said, turning his head back to Puss. Death walked closer to Puss.
You grabbed your dagger and ran to Puss. Death dealt the final blow, but Puss dodged it with his gatito blade. You forgot Kitty gave that to him. Thank God he had it. He swung at Puss again, before you mollywhoped the back of his neck, with the back of your knife. He let out a snarl as Puss slid past his feet. You ran to Puss's side. "Say hello to my gatito blade." Puss grinned. Kitty smiled. Death's face contorted with confusion. You and Puss charged at Death, slashing at him.
"Come on!" Puss yelled. Death missed Puss, his staff stabbing into the floor. Puss jumped on it and gradually chopped it in half. Death eyes widened as he grabbed his sickles. Death caught Puss by the rapier and flung him into the air. "Now, Y/N!" Puss yelled. Puss boot met Death's face. You charged at Death, your foot meeting his stomach. His second sickle flew out of his hand as he fell to the floor. Puss's boot slid the sickle over to Death. "Pick it up!" Puss said, pointing his rapier at Death. Death looked at Puss. "I know I can never defeat you, lobo, but I will never stop fighting for this life." Puss spoke, boldly.
A low growl came from Death's throat, sending shivers up your spine. Death's hand slowly went to his sickle as his body stood up. He slowly walked closer to you and Puss. You took a fighting stance as he came closer. Puss rapier was still boldly pointed at Death. Death head lurched forward as he bore into Puss's eyes. A long snarl rose from his throat before it turned into a roar. Death turned around furiously as he struck the ground with his sickle. "Por qué demonios jugué con mi comida?!" he roared.
You and Puss looked at each other. He snapped his head back to Puss. "You're ruining this for me!" he yelled. In a flash he was back at you and Puss, holding a sickle at Puss. "I came here for an arrogant, little legend who thought he was immortal!" he seethed. Death's gaze went to yours before his head lowered. He sighed. "But I don't see him anymore." he said. Puss exhaled.
Death spun his sickles before putting them back in their holsters. He turned away from you and Puss. "Live your life, Puss in Boots, live it well." he said, walking away. A smile lit up your face as a squeal escaped your throat. Death stopped and turned his head again. "You know we will meet again, right?" he confirmed, meeting you and Puss's eyes. "Sí, hasta la muerte." Puss nodded. You didn't know if he was talking to you or Puss....Perhaps both of you.
A whistle flowed from Death's mouth. His body finally retreated into the flames. They disappeared and so did he. Perrito yipped happily as he made he ran to Puss and you. You fell to the floor and hugged his little furry body tightly. Puss joined you in the hug. Kitty took off her mask. "You know, when you said Death was after you, I thought you were just being melodramatic." she said. You scuffed your boots on the ground. "I meant to tell you guys...I'm sorry." you said, shame enveloping your body.
Kitty smiled. "You don't need to feel bad, Y/N. You were scared. I understand." Puss said. Kitty's eyes looked to the map in Puss's hands. Puss lifted the wish to her. "The wish is yours. You deserve someone you can trust." he said. Kitty's hands reached for the map before she returned her hands to her side. "I don't need it. I got what I wished for. No magic required." she smiled. Puss returned the face. He looked to you.
"Y/N, you deserve the wish. You never had the family you wanted. Now, you have that chance." Puss added. Your hands reached for the map. You'd be one happy family. But, would you? It's like Perrito said: "Sharing one life with you Y/N and Kitty, has made it pretty special". Maybe...you had already found your family?
Your hands crossed as you looked down at your boots. "I-I...I..." you trailed off. Suddenly, Jack's bag started moving. A burp erupted from the bag. A tag and shower of crumbs burst from the bag. "Ah, magic snacks~." Jack said, happily.
"Oh, no..."
