I don't own Princess Mononoke or any of the characters. I only own this story and the characters not in the movie.

Humans had invaded the Fox Tribe's territory. The humans had killed Karna and captured Volos.

When news of the Fox Tribe's leader's death and the capture of its heir reached the Wolf Tribe, San was shocked. Volos was San best (and only) friend. They had known each other since they were young pups.

San knew her mother would never attack the humans to try and get Volos back. After the death of Ookami last year Moro had become over protective of her pups and wouldn't let them interfere with any of the other tribes of the forest.

But San just couldn't stand by and let her friend be killed. She knew what she had to do. She would have to sneak into Iron Town and get her friend back, without anyone knowing.

In the middle of the night San awoke. Quickly she put on her purple dress, white tunic and deer hide shoes. She put on her wolf fur cloak and wolf fur headdress. The cloak was tied to San's dagger point necklace. And her earrings could still be seen even when San had on her mask.

San grabbed her spear and slipped her dagger into a leather sheath behind her back. Even though San was eleven she looked like a dangerous forest spirit dressed in her full clothing.

With everything set the young wolf-girl ran out of the den and strait into the heart of enemy territory.

Within thirty minutes San had reached Iron Town. Guards patrolled all around the wood fence that surrounded all of Iron Town. If San wanted to get in she would have to find a blind spot.

After circling around the wall San found a blind spot between two guard towers. The wolf-girl threw her spear into the wall and climbed up the wall. After grabbing her spear San jumped onto the top of a human den.

The wolf-girl climbed over human dens without anyone noticing. Suddenly San could hear the sound of a fox growl. She followed the sound and found Volos locked in a cage sounded by guards.

There were five guards in total and none of them carried guns. San thought it would be easy work. She could easily kill five guards only armed with a couple spears. Once the guards were killed all she would have to do was free Volos and get back to the forest.

In one heart beat San threw her spear at one of the guards and killed him. The other guards wondered who had slayed their companion. One of them spotted San on the roof dagger drown and running down the roof.

"It's her! It's the wolf girl! It's Princess Mononoke! The spirit princess is attacking!" shouted the guards.

San raised her dagger and killed the man that had just called out. She then killed another man before he could grab the knife at his belt. Finally San slashed the remaining two guard's throats.

Volos looked up to see his wolf-girl friend standing over the body of a dead human.

"San you need to use one of those metal twigs to open this den. Hurry before more humans come." panicked Volos.

San grabbed the chain of metal twigs from one of the dead guard's waists. She tried a bunch of different times, but eventually the cage door opened and Volos ran out. San grabbed her spear and dagger and followed after her friend.

The two young gods of the forest climbed over the wall and ran back to the cover of the trees. A few gun shots were fired at them but they were two far away for any of them to hit. San could have sworn she heard Eboshi yell something to her gunmen, but she was too far away to hear clearly.

Soon the two young gods had left the human Iron Town far behind them. Volos looked at San and bowed his head.

"I want to thank you for saving me San. I wouldn't even be alive if it wasn't for you. I am forever in your det." proclaimed Volos.

San lifted up her mask letting her face show.

"There's no need to thank me. I just did what had to be done. You better get back to home. Your tribe is without a leader and you are to take over in your father's place." replied San.

Volos thanked San once again and ran back to his territory. San also decided to go home. She stopped along the way to kill a few rabbits to make it seem like she had been out hunting.

Moro did not believe her daughter's story about being out hunting for a second. Though the wolf goddess decided to let the matter be. Her daughter had taken on the human by herself and single handily saved the heir of the Fox Tribe. Moro would never say it out loud, but she was very proud of San for what she had done to save her friend.
