A/N: EMERALDEEVEE97 IS REVIVED! Hello, everyone. I said in the last chapter that I'd have this done before Christmas... Well, I screwed thisgs up. Again. But I'll really really do my best this time!

Well, this time, in PMD: SP (that's a cool way of shortening it), a familiar character we haven't seen for a while returns! Who it is? Well, read on to see!

Unlikely help

"My mother is in there." Whitetail stared stubbornly at the entrance to the cave. "That's it. I'm going in there to save her right now." She marched forward, but Aura was quick to grab a hold of her tail.

"Hold it right there!" the riolu hissed. "Darkrai's in there! You can't just march in!"

"Sorry, Whitetail." Mighty gazed at the eevee. "I know you want to save her, but we need a plan."

And so, the six members of Team Saviours all sat down together, hiding in the bushes, starting to whisper different tactics amongst each other.

"...and so, the awesome super-hero will save us from global warming!"

"Feather... Two questions. One: Where will we get a super-hero from? Two: What does this have to do with global warming?"

"Oh, shut it, you two!" Mighty gave Feather and Nyara an angry glare. "We others are actually trying to come up with a plan!" They had already tried coming up with one for half an hour, but it wasn't easy with Feather's constant random ramblings and everything...

"Shh!" Shadow suddenly whispered. "I think I heard something!" Aura, Whitetail, Nyara and Feather all visibly tensed, while Mighty only sniffed the air.

"What the...?!" the mightyena started, but was quickly interrupted when something leapt into the bush, landing right in front of them. Something golden, brown and sparkly...

TWILIGHT VAMPIRE!" Whitetail screamed in horror. To which, a very unamused voice replied:

"Sure, sure, kid. It's nice to have such a kind greeting." Blue eyes observed the six members of Team Saviours in interest. "I see you have two new members for your little Exploration Team, Darkfur."

"Y-Yena?!" Mighty stared at the shiny mightyena in shock. "What are you doing here?!"

"Father sent me to consult with the EeveeClan about some territory issues..." Yena twitched her tail in annoyance. "...and there was this flareon named Rust, or something, who told me he knew you guys. Said you'd fought some heroic battle recently. I was just on my way home, and look who I bumped into!"

"You're Grumpy's sister?!" Feather pulled at Yena's ear. "You're kinda pretty, you kn..." Before he got to say anything more, Yena gave him such a glare that he whimpered and ran off to hide behind Nyara.

"Can you please explain to me why you are sitting here in a bush planning strategies?" the princess of the Tribe of Sacred Wilderness asked coolly, ignoring Feather completely.

After explaining the situation to Yena, the female mightyena looked quite curious.

"Really? To save Arceus herself... Quite interesting." she mumbled. "You don't mind help, do you?"

"Of course not. We need all the help we can get." Shadow replied. Mighty and Whitetail both looked slightly unhappy with the turn of events.

"So now, what do we do?" Nyara asked. Everyone became quiet, feeling slightly uncomfortable.

"Hey! I have an idea!" Aura suddenly exclaimed. "We can spy on Darkrai by sending in someone he can trust!"

"What? Do you mean Yena?" Mighty asked, staring at his sister.

"Yeah."

"Sorry, but I doubt that will work." Yena muttered. "They know Darkfur is my brother. Because those commanders you're talking about are the guys that were there when you visited, right?"

"Oh. I'd forgotten they knew you." Aura stated, wondering how Yena somehow had made what really was an assassination attempt sound so innocent. "Well... What do we do then?"

"I have an idea." Mighty said carefully, sounding a bit too worried for him. "Marionette, Dusk, Spirit and I... We were quite good friends... I think they might possibly... allow me a second chance."

This caused quite a cacophony.

"What the... Mighty?! Are you suggesting to try to knock into their thick-headed skulls that you've changed sides AGAIN?!" Whitetail screamed at him very, very loudly.

"Shh, Whitetail!" Shadow said. "They might hear you!"

"We have one problem, though." Aura mumbled. "Darkrai is a mind-reader. He'll see through any lie we try to feed him with." Everyone sighed, sure that they now would have to come up with a whole new plan.

"Mind-reader, huh?" Yena smirked cheekily. "Well, you're lucky to have me here, then! I have this little thing my father gave me..." She raised her forepaw and started digging through the thick fur around her neck. Soon, she pulled out a small necklace, with a small crystal in it.

"What's that?" Feather asked curiously and leant forward to look at the small crystal. It was clear as glass and shaped similarly to the Griseous Orb, but smaller.

"It's a Purity Crystal." Yena explained. "They're very, very rare. They protect your mind from attackers by showing the attacker only what he wants to see. This one in particular belonged to our ancestor, the great Yen."

"That's interesting." Mighty gently took the Purity Crystal from Yena and hung it around his neck.

"Wait." Whitetail stepped forward and dug the crystal deeper into Mighty's thick fur, so that it couldn't be seen. "If Darkrai sees it, he'll suspect stuff."

"All right..." Mighty said. "From now on, everyone who tries to look into my mind, will only see that I am loyal to Darkrai and Darkrai alone. I hope. Shadow, could you test it?"

"All right." Shadow said. "Try to think normal thoughts, okay Mighty?" Then, the pikachu placed his palms together, staring intently into blank space, before closing his eyes, attempting to attack Mighty's mind. After maybe ten seconds, his purple eyes opened again.

"Yup." he said. "It works really good. What that crystal made me see even creeped me out quite a lot..."

"Well, all right then..." Mighty took a deep breath. "I'm going in there. I'm going to find out exactly what Darkrai is planning. Take care." His eyes shone with determination as he swung around and began to walk towards the dark cave looming ahead.

"Take care, Mighty!" Whitetail called out.

A/N: Just on the side... I've spent my time away watching an Anime... which I am now very obsessed with. There should be a reference to it somewhere in this chapter... See if you can spot it, if you've seen the same Anime as me, that is! If you noticed... Please tell me!

And as usually, please review!

..and no, the reference was not the vampire thing.
