Sorry for the wait. I know you couldnt sleep over what happened last time. (arrogant much? Maybe...)

Anyway, here goes chapter 7 folks.

Chapter 7 : Lunar Eclipsed

Rai closed his phone and rubbed his ear.

"I think my eardrum popped," he said shaking his head.

Naki moved the hair from her eyes. "Who was that?"

"Artemis and Duo. Apparently they've run into some major trouble."

Grasswhistle gave a look of confusion. "You have got to be lying!" she blurted out in disbelief. "I could understand if they were separate, but the Proto King and the Thorn King are both in trouble together in the same place?"

"Nuh-uh. Duo jacked the phone at the end," he responded with a serious expression. Calighe bit her nails fearing her former leader had went ahead with his plan. Rai noticed her change in expression.

"Something wrong, Calighe?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Definitely," she said quickly. "If I know Soken, he has decided to go ahead with his plan and take their regalia, but if that's true..." she began to shake, "Kakashi is leading half the team against them..."

Grasswhistle grabbed ahold of her. "Calm down, Calighe!" she said cooly. "We will go help them."

"Sorry, but I cant let Rai face them. Especially with such shitty regalia," Naki said straightly.

"Screw you Naki!" shouted Rai.

"You'd love that wouldnt you?" she retorted.

"Dont get in the way sister!" Grasswhistle growled. Naki sighed shaking her head.

"Look, I need to take him to the Tool Toul To base so I can make his run smoother and make better regalia."

"No way! I dont trust you as far as-"

"Stop it, Grasswhistle!" Rai shouted. Grasswhistle instead grew even angrier. "I will have to go with her. She is my tuner and if I can get better like she says, then I must. Grasswhistle, you and Calighe go to Arty and Duo's aid."

"The process shouldn't take very long so you can join the battle in a matter of minutes," spoke Naki.

Grasswhistle growled in disapproval, but against her nature, she relaxed. "Fine, but you had better hurry. Calighe, let's go." Calighe nods as both she and Grasswhistle rode on to the battle.

"Ok. You ready?" Naki asked him. Rai nodded

"Let's go then." They both jump through the top window of the warehouse.

"Where are we?" Rai asked staring at what surrounded him. It was most definitely the furthest thing from your average warehouse. AT parts were scattered all over the place and piled high. It could be described as the AT junkyard, but on the contrary, it was much more than that.

"Surprised?" Naki asked as she smiled and inhaled the scent of machinery as if it were her version of a breath of fresh air.

"So this is the Tool Toul To base huh?" he asked as she led him to I giant platform-like chair.

"Yep. Now lay on that and remove your shirt and I will be back in a minute." She strutted behind a curtain.

Rai followed her instructions as he removed his shirt and checked his body noticing the scars on the muscles of his body. He wasn't overly muscular, but he was very fit. He had to be to pull off the kind of tricks he made. He sat in the chair that appeared to be suspended by a sort of sphere as he waited for her return and sure enough, no sooner had he sat down, she walked from beyond the curtain with a hooded cloak long enough to drag along the ground and cover her entire body. Rai's expression changed to one on of confusion because she also had a pair of dj type headphones on her ears.

"All right then. Are you ready?" she asked as she approached him dropping the cloak as she was seemingly naked. Rai's face immediately reddened.

"AH! What the fuck do you think you are doing?" he shouted in shock. She simply chuckled.

"Dont fool yourself, Rai. It's not like I am gonna rape you or anything."

"Then what the hell are you naked for?"

"I'm not naked. Look closer you ding-dong."

He looked again hesitantly noticing that there was a film-like substance on her body.

"What is it?"

"It's a special suit that allows tuners to tune with an even higher skill output. Normal clothes reduce the ability to link with the rider's biorhythm."

"Oh! Of course! I should've known." What the hell is she talking about?

"Well then, lets get started." Naki closed her eyes as her headphones seemed to instantly home in on Rai. He moved closer to him as she layed her head against on his chest hearing his heart beat quicken.

"Relax, Rai or else this wont go well."

Rai sighed. "Fine. I will try."

He inhaled and exhale softly as he let the air relaxed his body. Naki suddenly looked a bit puzzled.

"You've been using the wrong road," she said plainly.

"What do you mean I've been using the wrong road? It's been mine forever!" he responded aggressively.

"Ok. Then tell me what sensation you feel when you fly without using the road."

"Well, it's like the coolness of the air relaxes me. It's the reason I kept flying," he began.

"I dont like to use AT's for violence, but I will use them to put out the flame of destruction that is released when rider like the Null King try to destroy another's sensation of the air. I refuse to let people like him abuse the sky's bringing of happiness."

Naki chuckled. "You sound like a true king wonder boy. That road you have now doesn't fit you at all."

"What do you mean by that?" he asked.

"I mean that instead making a bigger flame, why dont you focus freezing and chilling the tension and aggression here? I think you would get your message across and it would make you feel better when you ride."

"First of all, I meant what did you mean by that wonder boy comment. Second, I can't just change my road...can I?" he asked as his eyes seemed to wander the ceiling unfocused.

"You can. You are the rider, but the AT's must be able to follow you. Just adjust your mentality to it and let your feelings float around it. The rest will follow."

Rai's mind seemed to reflect the moonlit sky. As if possible, he felt ferociously calm. It was an odd and wonderful sensation to his body. Naki felt his body change as his and her biorhythm syncronized together. Her eyes seemed to blank as she had seemingly lost conciousness, but she had never been more aware while she was tuning, building, and syncing at a speed unmatchable even by Hephestas, god of the forging art. It was as if both she and Rai became one.

"Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have trusted my sister! Where the fuck are they?" she spouted forcifully with her body in scratches as she held her bleeding left arm.

They fight had gotten very serious and rigorous quickly. Artemis and Duo were already scarred badly before Calighe and Grasswhistle arrived because of half of Dark Blue that was emploring regalia to destroy them and take the regalia. The two female didn't change the equation almost at all.

"They are very strong. Stronger than I remember," Calighe said standing slowly with a gash on her back inflicted upon her earlier by Lind.

"They definitely know how to put up a fight," said Artemis.

"I blame you," said Duo.

"What the hell? For what?"

"If we had have waited, for them two then maybe we wouldn't be so useless!"

"Are you fucking kidding me? It was you who said we could handle them!"

"...shut up, whore."

"Screw y-"

Their bickering was halted by two shocking kicks from Kakashi that sent them crashing to the ground. "How childish..."

The other three members were worn from the consecutive use of their regalia. Kakashi, however, hadn't even broke a sweat yet.

"Evangeline, take their regalia..." ordered Kakashi with no emotion in his voice. "Kill them if they resist..."

Evangeline nodded walking towards them while Calighe backed away with Grasswhistle over her shoulder.

"Please Eva! Don't do this!" Calighe pleaded.

"Sorry, Cal, but you shouldn't have crossed Soken. You knew this would happen if you did," she said moving closer.

"Damn it Duo! Get up and move!" Artemis called.

"Ugh! I'm lazy!" he retorted.

"Fuck that!"

"I can't fuck a word."

"Enough..." Kakashi loomed over them both with their reflections visible from his glasses. "You make too much noise. You shall die before I take your-" Kakashi stopped mid-sentence sensing a ferociously icy chill in the air. His eyes opened for the first time throughout the assault on the four Kings as a controlled, yet raging tornado of icy wind hit Kakashi head on and sent him flying through multiple buildings.

"What the fuck?" shouted Lind watching Kakashi of all people get hit hard. He, Lilli, Eva, and the rest over the riders on the battlefield turned in the direction from which the attack came to see a Naki in her original clothes and Rai putting his foot down as the moonlight brought out the gray-blue on his AT's with a symbol resembling a gray, rose garden with the word Babylon etched into the symbol. The icy chill Rai had brought onto the field of battle seemed to grow stronger as he and Naki approached.

All of sudden, a large magnetic burst exploded from where Kakashi had stopped. He rose into the air with an anger expression on his face as his glasses had been broken. Kakashi took off his glasses and threw them to the ground, then he crushed them beneath his foot. Lind and the others of Dark Blue grew afraid when they could see the he his shadow looming over the field. It was a teched-out, fully armored, feudal shogun, samurai with an monsterous mask upon its face.

"You broke my glasses..." spoke Kakashi. Despite his anger, his voice hadn't changed. "You shall pay with your life..."

Rai was unafraid with a look of calm even colder than the burst he launched at Kakashi no more than a few seconds ago. His own shadow had changed as well. A fully armored, kingly, black knight armed with a cape, a wolf-shaped helmet that covered its head and face, and a substantially large claymore twice its size stood over him. Both Kakashi's and Rai's shadow stood at a height about one-third the size of the tower in the middle of the city.

Rai looked at his allies scattered on the field.

"I guess it's your turn to enter the fray," spoke Naki cooly as if infected by Rai's own calm. He smiled.

"Right. My turn it is then!"

Epic build up you know? That's just my style. It's rather long, but I have my reasons. You can never have too many characters to use. Please submit any that you'd be ok to let me use, have or borrow. That is all.
