The Pokolistan Amethyst Knights are a paramilitary unit within Pokolistan's armed forces. The soldiers wear hi-tech armor based on knights with gauntlets that fire laser blasts and are capable of flight via rocket propulsion. In 2022, the knight named Alexi transported Task Force M from the airport to Poko Castle. When Rick Flag Sr. bowed to Princess Ilana Rostovic, Alexi decided to mess with him and lied only the sacred, customary bow was allowed in the castle and they were obligated to kill him. The knights surrounded the task force and armed their gauntlets. Flag claimed he was not briefed on what kind of bow to use. Alexi and the knights broke into laughter. Alexi pointed out Flag was about to mess his pants. Flag denied it repeatedly. Alexi boasted they were a lot like Americans and cited the Jamie Kennedy Experiment, Super Bowl Shuffle and the "Wazzup" phrase. Dr. Phosphorus sarcastically commended him on his current popular culture references. He then asked Phosphorus, "where's the beef?" Princess Ilana told him that was enough and they proceeded to a banquet prepared for the guests.
That night, the Bride attempted to leave the castle grounds. Nina Mazursky followed her. Bride told the knight on gate duty to open the door. He noted she was not on the schedule. Bride contended she didn't need a schedule and repeated her command. The knight eventually opened the door. She entered and rudely asked for money because she didn't have any freaking rubles on her. The knight pointed out their money was not called rubles. Bride quipped she was being insulting. The knight took out his money and counted but she took it all and left. Mazursky lied she meant to say thank you. Bride shouted she did not mean anything of the sort. With the Creature Commandos gone, Circe and the Sons of Themyscira attacked the castle the next day. Princess Ilana was stirred out her sleep by one of the Amethyst Knights. He apologized for being rough but needed to get her to safety. He was shot in the head by one of the Sons. The Amethyst Knights and Sons battled across the castle grounds. When Alexi and the Commandos returned the battle, an Amethyst Knight gave Mazursky her spare air suit but he was shot in the head.
Princess Ilana was tipped off by Rick Flag Sr. about the Creature Commandos returning to Pokolistan to kill her. Alexi took a call and diverted to an ambush. The military and Amethyst Knights took up positions around them. Alexi put a gun to Bride's head but Phosphorus punched his head off. They exited the transport and scattered. They focused on Bride and Phosphorus, who were deemed the only dangerous ones. Out of bullets, Bride leaped into air and tackled a Knight. Eventually, the crashed into a rooftop pigeon coop. Bride ripped the Knight's arms off and put on their gauntlets then blasted the helicopter out of the air. One of the Amethyst Knights, Sergei, reported back to Princess Ilana the Commandos escaped but believed they would not be much danger out there on their own. Ilana found it tragic they were being misled by their own government but concluded they had no choice and ordered Sergei to find them and kill them all.
A group of Knights thought they saw two figures run into Can-Can, a brothel. A French sex worker opened the door and suggested they saw Radka and Silviya returning from the store. One of the other knights became distracted. The mustachioed Knight in charge asked they contact the Knights if they saw anyone suspicious. He shoved the distracted Knight outside. The worker invited him to return when he wasn't working so the girls could get to know a handsome, royal knight more intimately. After they left, Madame Gyurov felt it was time for them to leave. Bride peeked outside from a window and saw some knights lingering around. She decided she and Mazursky were going to hang around until the heat was off. By sunrise, the Amethyst Knights gathered and lined up in Poko Castle as Princess Ilana presided over them from a balcony. The Bride chose to take the Commandos the wall at the back to the garden since it looked like the least protected.
Many Knights were stationed around the pond where Princess Ilana took her morning swims. Nina Mazursky was chosen to sneak into the pond and stab her. Weasel ran into the pond and got everyone's attention. The Knights surrounded the Commandos after Mazursky was killed by Ilana. Sergei ordered them to halt and arrived with A.R.G.U.S. director Amanda Waller on the line. Waller told Bride she made a mistake. Ilana rose up through Mazursky's blood and walked out of the pond emotionless. Bride crushed the communication device. The Knights called Weasel a hero and Sergei declared they would build a monument in his honor.
