Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own Princess Mononoke

Here's what I made up: Fokkusugaaru


Fokks awoke to the sound of footsteps. Not animal sounds, but humans! The filthy creatures this near to Shishigami's pond was unforgivable! She was determined to kill at least one of them this time.

The dirks appeared in her hands as if summoned by her fury. The young woman dashed out the front of her cave, but ground to a stop almost immediately.

The humans were in a semi-circle, blocking her escape. Even as she hesitated, they formed around into a full circle, effectively surrounding the outnumbered Fokks.

She snarled, trying to find a way out. "10 to 1. Not quite a fair fight." she growled.

One of the humans, apparently the leader, a big burly man dressed in black and gray grinned sarcastically, "Oh, so the little wild girl can talk."

One of the others moved closer to him, "Gonza, doesn't she remind you of someone? A certain someone who helped save all of our lives?"

Gonza scrutinized her for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, Kohroku, she does resemble Princess Mononoke in a remote sort of way. Except for the cloak and the weapons."

Fokks, who had been listening, bewildered, to the conversation, snarled at the humans, "Look, what do you want? You're the ones destroying my home. What have I done to you?"

Gonza turned and grinned evilly, "We want you to stop scaring the hunting parties out of the forest. We need the meat, and you can't eat all of the animals."

Fokks spat at the humans, "You disgust me! You think that you can destroy the Shishigami's forest, and kill all the animals? You don't even eat all of your meat. I've seen you throw it into the lake, polluting the water supply of the entire forest. You filthy humans could never understand."

The human shook his head, "I guess we can't. Now!" A net dropped over the young woman, bearing her to the ground. Her dirks flew from her hands, and Gonza scooped them up.

Three other humans rolled Fokks over and over, bundling her tightly into the net. Once she could no longer move, they carried her off towards Irontown. The captive wriggled, spat, and snarled, "Let go! Let go, disgusting humans!"

Gonza spun and struck the young woman over the head. Stars exploded in front of her eyes, then everything went dark.
