Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own Princess Mononoke
Here's what I made up: Fokkusugaaru (Fokks), Jisen (kinda), Kisa (kinda)
Ashitaka and Fokks were up and about the village quite early the next morn. About midway through the morning, the captive's sensitive ears picked up a strange sound, sort of a rhythmic pounding.
Soon after, an alarm sounded from the wall, "Lord Asano's samurai are attacking! Ready the defenses!" Unfortunately, the invaders had managed to get close enough that the gate was not shut quickly enough.
They rode through the streets, slashing at any Irontown inhabitants that came within range.
Kohroku came running through the crowd, eyes wide with fear. "They made it to the forge! They're going to set the entire building on fire if they get inside!" he yelled.
Ashitaka drew his sword and raced off towards the center of town. Fokks shoved the human guard aside and followed as fast as she could. However, with her bound hands, she could not hope to keep up and soon lost sight of her benefactor.
The young woman ground to a stop, glancing wildly around. She knew she would have to make a decision quickly, for the Irontown humans were beginning to realize that they should probably stop her.
The light reflected in a flash off of something in the corner of her eye. She turned and looked to see her dirks lying inside a house.
Fokks ran to them and scooped them up. Still running, she sliced through her bonds. The handles felt good in her hands. As she went by, humans cried out and lunged, trying to catch the escapee.
Fokks increased her speed, feet thrumming the ground. She was gone before people even realized she had ever been there. It felt so good to be able to run freely again that she let out a battle cry and ran still faster.
The young woman became a red flash, darting along the winding streets to the forge. As she came upon the battleground, Fokks slowed a bit.
She caught a glimpse of Ashitaka as he whirled by, intent on fighting. Letting out another battle cry, the escaped prisoner threw herself into the battle.
She knew that, however bad the people of Irontown were for the forest, these newcomers would be worse. So, she killed them.
Samurai after samurai loomed in front of her and were felled by her flashing knives. Fokks found herself back to back with Ashitaka. He spared her a glance, and smiled.
She grinned back, and both turned their attention to the frenetic battle.
The feral young woman was unstoppable, lost in a blood-red haze of rage.
