A/N: It's been almost half a year since I updated this. To be completely honest, I pretty much forgot about it. But now, I've finished Junior High School and finally have summer vacation, and I'm ready to finish this fic! I think my writing has become a lot better too! Also, this chapter will center around Blacktail and the other commanders mainly.

Mighty the commander

"Checkmate." Dusk stated.

"No way! Dusk, you cheated!"

"I ensure you, Spirit, I did no such thing!"

"Yes, you did! You must have, while I looked away!"

"I don't cheat in chess, Spirit. I'm just better at it than you."

"No, you're not! I'm the best chess player in the world!"

"Oh, just shut it, you two!" Marionette shouted at her fellow commanders in annoyance. "Can't you just stop playing chess and do something else instead? Dusk just wins anyway..."

"No, he doesn't! I want a rematch! Right now!" Spirit demanded angrily and used psychic powers to rearrange the chess pieces so that the game could be restarted immediately.

"Fine." Dusk sighed and raised his hand to move a pawn.

"This is boring." Marionette complained and turned to Blacktail, who was sitting on a rock beside her. "There's nothing to do in this stupid cave, and Lord Darkrai's just too busy taunting Arceus to care..." She gazed at the pathway that led deeper into the cave, down into the dungeon where Darkrai was keeping Arceus.

"Marionette, it's not as if he would care if we're bored." the scarred eevee stated and fiddled with his black necklace, really not caring less if the other three commanders were bored. Personally, he was just feeling eager; he wanted something to happen, and with Arceus captured, something was bound to happen soon...

"Hmph. Mighty would've known how to cheer us up." Spirit muttered, before quickly turning back to Dusk. "You didn't cheat, did you?"

"I couldn't care less." Blacktail stated, even though he truly did feel annoyed to be compared to someone like that stupid mightyena...

"Well, it's true, though." Marionette stated, looking a bit dreamy. "Oh, those were the days... Us three, Mighty, and Lord Giratina... Things were a lot funnier back then... I really wish Mighty would've stayed..."

"Well, it's a good thing I came back, then." a voice echoed from the entrance to the cave, causing all four commanders to turn their attention towards the entrance, not quite believing what they'd just heard.

"Mighty?" Marionette gasped, staring at the mightyena standing before them. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I decided that being so loyal to Lord Giratina was quite overrated." Mighty stated. "Do you know how bored I got? This is truly more my style. If you want to welcome me back, that is."

"Why would we do that?" Blacktail growled and stepped forward, glaring furiously at Mighty. "You're with Team Saviours! You've got nothing to get here!"

"I'm not so sure about that." Mighty said with a smirk and turned to face Marionette, Dusk and Spirit. "You'll let me back, right?"

"Of course we will!" The three commanders were all beaming with joy, and Blacktail frowned.

"It's not as if Lord Darkrai would allow it, anyway!" the eevee finally spat.

"What will I not allow, Blacktail?" a voice echoed from the back of the cave. Darkrai emerged from the pathway to the dungeons, eerily floating in, similar to a ghost. The three other commanders drew back in fear, while Blacktail smiled. Mighty, however, didn't seem frightened at all.

"Good evening, Lord Darkrai." he greeted the legendary Pokémon with a bow. "I would like to ask you if I could join your army once again?"

"Now, this is surprising." Darkrai said, his one visible eye looking slightly suspicious. "Why would you, who already abandoned the shadow army once, want to come back? I will have to check your mind for this..."

"Anything you wish, Lord Darkrai." Mighty stated. Blacktail watched in fascination as the legendary Pokémon placed his palms together, closed his eyes and started concentrating. About half a minute later, he stated:

"Well, Mighty, it seems you truly do mean it when you claim to be loyal to me." Darkrai said, actually sounding quite surprised. "I must admit I hadn't expected that. But knowing that you are a strong fighter and a good leader, I'm more than willing to take you back into my ranks."

"Thank you." Mighty bowed again and cast a triumphant glance at Blacktail. Blacktail only frowned. He had hoped that the mightyena would be a spy, to see Darkrai beat him up...

"You're back!" Marionette yelled cheerfully and ran up to embrace Mighty.

"Woah, calm down, Marionette!" Mighty shouted as the banette clung on to his neck, and gently pushed her off. "There's no need to react like this... It's just old me!"

"Well, it's great to see you again, after all." Dusk stated as he approached Mighty and stretched out a hand to shake Mighty's forepaw. "To be honest, I didn't think you'd ever come back..." the dusknoir said sheepishly.

"Mighty!" Spirit yelled cheerfully. "Wanna play a game of chess with me? I bet you won't cheat like Dusk!"

"Well, fine, then." Mighty said, a slight smile on his face, and approached the spiritomb. "I'm going to beat you, Spirit!" Marionette and Dusk gathered around the chess table, suddenly very eager to see the outcome of the game that had been so boring a while ago. Darkrai simply slipped back into the dungeons, probably about to go and taunt Arceus some more.

Blacktail just curled up in a corner of the cave, feeling very angry all of a sudden.

A/N: Blacktail seems a bit jealous of Mighty... I'll have the next chapters up in a few days, stay tuned until that! And please review, if you're still there, that is... He he...
