Back over at Rosalina's castle about a few minutes after the talk he had with his mother, Ashitaka met with Patsu out near the training grounds. Ashitaka took out a thin black book out of one of his parcels and threw it at Patsu. The young boy looked down at the item and asked, "What's this?"

Ashitaka looked at his friend while he started packing his things on Yakuul. "It's a book. Containing the secrets of some of the most rarest creatures on Earth. I'm going to use this guide to go find San and defeat that stereotypical character they call a villain." said the young prince.

What Patsu saw in his hands didn't look like a guide with creatures. It looked more like a magazine with guides to different areas. When he looked at the cover, he wasn't surprised. "So let me get this straight...you're gonna save your imaginary girlfriend by using a strategy guide for 'Metal Gear Solid 4'?" Ashitaka took the book from Patsu's hands and looked at it. He threw it away and got another book from one of his bags.

"No. This is what we're gonna use." said Ashitaka showing a different book. Shown on its pages were pictures of many fascinating creatures painted in vibrant watercolors. Ashitaka continued to turn the pages as he described the many different features of each drawing. But then he stopped at one page. There was a painting of a gallant white wolf with red markings on it's body. Patsu looked at the picture in fascination.

"What creature is that?" asked the young boy. Ashitaka looked at the picture for a couple of seconds and handed the book back to his friend.

"That my friend is the sun goddess Amaterasu. In the form of a great white wolf. This is who we're going to find." said Ashitaka. At this moment, Patsu assumed that his friend was crazy if he was going to go out and look for a goddess. But that didn't stop the young prince. "Possibly, with her help, I could find San and bring her home safely." said Ashitaka.

"Please tell me you're joking. You're joking right?" asked Patsu. But his best friend shook his head. Patsu then got on his heads, tugged on Ashitaka's shirt, and shouted, "Please Ashitaka! I can't go out in the middle of the forest looking for dangerous creatures. I have a life ahead of me!"

Ashitaka just rolled his eyes, dragged his friend with him and hopped on Yakuul. "Come on Patsu. Suck it up. It'll be just like camping. Except there will be dangerous beasts that could jump out and attack us and rip the very flesh off of our bones." said the young prince. Ashitaka's words didn't help Patsu. Instead it made things worse as the young boy slowly fainted.

Ashitaka picked Patsu up and threw him on top of his horse. "Come on Yakuul. To the forest!" shouted Ashitaka. Both the prince and his friend rode off into the forest to begin their long search for San.

Meanwhile, back near Jared's domain, Nausicaa had begun to pack a few necessities for San and herself. Both had made a plan to run through the forests so as to find the whereabouts of Rosalina's kingdom. Nausicaa packed a sack with some food and a few tools to protect themselves from strangers. As both San and Nausicaa started heading out, Timon shouted, "Hey you pilot girl! If you don't bring back that wolf in one piece, I'll put your head on a stove!"

Nausicaa shouted back as they walked "Gotcha!" Both Sonic and Timon watched as the two females walked deeper into the forest.

As San and Nausicaa walked through the forest, Nausicaa followed the map they stole from Jared's castle. They deeper they got, the more San felt they were lost. "Um Nausicaa...I think we're lost." said the white wolf.

"We're not lost alright. We're just a little misguided that's all. Now let me see..." said Nausicaa. Little did they know that someone was following them. Thanks to her new founded sense of smell, San could sense that someone was close by.

"Umm Nausicaa. I can smell someone close by. Do you think it's Ashitaka?" asked San. Nausicaa folded the map and placed it in one of her pockets. She got out her dagger and stood beside San.

"I'm not sure. But we'd better keep an eye out." said Nausicaa. Just then, both girls could hear small faint noises. The bushes rattled as the sounds became louder. Just then, out of the bushes popped a small rusty yellow box. San slowly walked up towards it and noticed a little logo on the bottom left hand side. On it was printed 'Wall-E'. "Wall-E?" asked San.

Just then, out of the box appeared two arms, two robotic eyes, and two little conveyor belts. The small robot said his name. San stepped back a little, a little surprised over the little robot. Wall-E slowly moved towards San and stared at her with amazement. He would constantly tilt his eyes back and forth.

Nausicaa giggled. "Look San, he likes you. How cute. He looks as if he's never seen a wolf before." Nausicaa was right however. Wall-E hadn't seen a wolf before in his life. In fact, it was probably one of the rarest animals he had the chance to see.

Wall-E stuck his hand out as to give San a friendly handshake. The white wolf gently stuck her paw out and and started shaking Wall-E's.

San admittedly giggled at the small robot's curiosity. Wall-E backed off and looked at both girls. "How cute. Anyways, excuse me Wall-E but could you possibly tell us how to get to Prince Ashitaka's kingdom." asked Nausicaa.

Nausicaa took out the map and showed it to Wall-E. The small robot looked at it for a sec when he remember something. Wall-E started walking towards an unfamiliar part of the forest. He then pointed towards a dirt road leading towards the end of the forest.

"Hey! Is that the way to Ashitaka's kingdom?" asked Nausicaa. Wall-E nodded as Nausicaa and San both gave sighs of relief. Both princesses gladly walked down the road with the small little trash compactor waving at them from a distance.

As they got closer to an opening, a gunshot was fired right towards them with trees falling down. Just then, a group of armored men, jumped down from the trees and huddled around San and Nausicaa. There were about 10 or 15 of them crowded around the trio. All of them stood still. But the soldiers acted first as they grabbed the white wolf and the princess. San had been knocked out and  Nausicaa was the only one struggling to break free. But it didn't help one bit.

When San awoke, she found herself locked in a metal cage surrounded by men in what looked like a camp site. San took a minute to realize where she was when she saw Nausicaa tied to a pole. In front of them was a table where most of the men sat eating their fill and associating with others. Inside her cage, San found her paws chained within her prison.

At that instant, a tall man walked towards San's cage. The man took a key out from one of his pockets and unlocked the cage as well as the chains placed on San's paws. The man said, "Well...come on out." San walked out slowly as she expected a trick up ahead. At the end of the table was a figure with gold plated armor. The figure lifted it's helmet to reveal a woman. "Empress Kushana." said the man.

"What exactly did you bring me today Kurotowa?" asked Kushana. Kushana's right hand man pushed San in front of the empress as Nausicaa watched in caution. Kurotawa could only smirk at the "prize" he had just earned.

"My dear Empress. Today is a wondrous day. While me and my men were trudging through the forests, I found these three misfits wandering about. But this wolf here...struck me with awe. For this wolf is no ordinary wolf. Why don't you see my fellow Tolmekians? This could possibly be the great Amaterasu." said Kurotowa.

The other Tolmekians gasped in awe at the white wolf. Poor San was clueless as to what was going on and why everyone was so surprised by her appearance. "Hmph. How are you so sure that this plain white wolf could be Amaterasu? Amaterasu is the goddess of the sun. If anything, this could possibly be Shiranui." replied the young empress.

"Forgive me for the mix up your highness. Anyways, as I was saying. Maybe this wolf could be of some use to us." said Kurotowa. Kushana could see the use in San after all. With a small gesture with her hand, the Tolmekians gathered around San as Nausicaa gasped at the sight.

San couldn't take it much longer. She needed to speak up and if there was any moment to do so it was now. "Wait!" she shouted. Immediately, all the Tolmekians backed away from the young wolf. Kushana arose from her chair in shock. "Please. This needs to stop. You've got the wrong person. I know nothing of Shiranui or whoever it is you're talking about." said San. Everyone just stood there in shock. The young wolf then walked up towards Kushana. "Now could you be so kind as to free my friend?" she asked.

Kushana nodded to Kurotowa to release Nausicaa. While Nausicaa was untied, she just stared at San in shock. She slowly walked back towards San as the young wolf said, "Sorry If I wasn't any use to you." Just before they could leave, out of the trees jumped Ashitaka with a bow and arrow.

"Patsu! There she is! Come on!" he shouted. Patsu quickly ran towards the camp completely worn out and gasping for breath. Ashitaka rolled his eyes and sighed. Anyways, Ashitaka continued to look threatening as he pointed his arrow straight at San. Everyone stood completely still. "Why are you people standing there, that's Amaterasu. Get her!" he shouted.

At that moment, San could feel a huge weight crushing her. It was a huge pile of people struggling to take the wolf captive. "I gotta do something." said Nausicaa. Ashitaka, jumped into the pile as he dug his way to get to San.

Poor San could barely breathe let alone talk. "Listen to me Amaterasu! You're going to help me find San. Do you understand?"

San slowly said underneath the huge amount of pressure, "Ashitaka...I am San." But it was said so quietly that the young prince could not hear it. Meanwhile, Nausicaa swiftly created flames all over the the camp.

When the soldiers saw their camp on fire, Nausicaa pushed Ashitaka aside and grabbed San as she ran away from the camp. But Ashitaka and Patsu followed closely behind. Just then, Nausicaa noticed that the sun was starting to fade. "Oh crap. We need to get there faster!" she said. At that instant, Nausicaa spotted a road that led back towards the lake. "How convient." she told herself.

With Ashitaka closely behind, it seemed like they wouldn't make it. Back at the lake, Sonic and Timon waited anxiously as the night was starting to rise. "Where do you think they could be?" asked Sonic. Timon shrugged. The hedgehog then grabbed onto Timon tightly as he shouted, "I'm freaking out man! Freaking out!" Timon slapped Sonic and was later given thanks.

Nausicaa finally made it back towards the lake as she tripped and let San walk into the water. Ashitaka made it to the lake as well. But he noticed that the wolf wasn't moving from it's spot. He still had his arrow aimed at his target until something happened.

The moon was finally shining and San was ready to reveal herself to Ashitaka. Quickly, a bright light flashed over the princess as she slowly morphed back into a human. When it was done, Ashitaka couldn't believe who he was looking at. "Hello Ashitaka." she said. The prince threw his bow and arrow onto the ground.

Wall-E then looked at the item and examined it. Ashitaka ran towards San as both of them hugged each other tightly. "San. Thank god I found you." The others sighed at such a wonderful sight. But then, San slapped Ashitaka.

"Why were you trying to kill me?" she asked. Ashitaka was a little dumbfounded with what had just happened. So he tried to answer the best he could.

"Well I didn't know you were a wolf. I mean you'd think you would say 'Ashitaka! It's me San!' But nope. You just stand there and let yourself get trampled. Anyways, where were we...oh yeah. I'm going to take you back home." said the young prince.

San could only shake her head. "You can't stay here nor can I leave. There is this man named Jared who has me locked up here with my friends. But if he finds you here, then who knows what he'll do." she said.

"Listen. My mother is having a ball with a bunch of skanky women tomorrow night. If you can sneak over there, then I promise that I'll break your spell and It'll prove that I'm not crazy because I think you still exist." said Ashitaka. San could only just say to herself, Why am I not surprised by the fact that Ashitaka's crazy mother is inviting skanky women to her party?

"I will be there. Or at least I'll try. Now go already!" she said. Ashitaka blew her a kiss and quickly ran off. Atop from his tower, Jared had witnessed the whole event and it angered him deeply.

A few minutes later, San was thrown into the darkest dungeon in Jared's castle. "So this is what you do to me? Are you that desperate for an escape? Well may I inform you that you'll be staying a wolf tomorrow night?" he shouted.

"Why is that?" asked San.

"Because tomorrow night, there is no moon. No moon means no turning back into a human for the princess. You're stuck here forever! Hahahahaha! God I need to work on that evil laugh." said Jared as he closed the door, leaving San all alone in the dark.
