He knew his desire was selfish...

Inside the calm yet cold gaze Serph gave of to match Heat's glare of jealousy and anger.

As Heat began to charge towards the group with his intent to kill increasing by each step taking along hoarse breaths that seethed with blind rage. Deep in his own thoughts Serph already knew what he had to do as he carefully placed Sera unto the Gale's hands entrusting him with the duty to protect her now.

For he knew…. He might not be able to protect her anymore…..

As he begun walking slowly towards Heat and stopped standing still allowing the Red haired traitor closed the gap between them along with the uninviting demonized hand that had been plunged deep into his stomach. Serph's face showed no reaction but truly it should have shown the tremendous pain he was feeling on his large fatal wound.

With blue eyes meeting red eyes for the last time he could see clearly on how intent Heat was to killing him.

It was in Junkyard where Serph began to notice the changes Heat was going through with his eerie obsession with Sera that could be explained as 'love', the feeling Sera mentioned during one of Cielo's questioning mood which was just as rare as his speaking tendencies. Heat was also going though increasing violent actions towards his enemies, disregarding the already broken rules. It seemed he was trying to deem himself worthy to be Sera's guardian.

Serph never realized how much Heat was willing to go to prove this until now when the two shared exchanging looks.

"Why did you just stand there…?"

Heat questioned as he tried to moving his demonized arm but proved that he was stuck unless Serph died then he could rip it off.

With his last words sounded slightly strained as the metal floor they stepped on was painted with a deep crimson as he grabbed a hold on Heat's cloak with the last of his strength.

"Because we're comrades….."

"I will…. not let you have… Sera…"

Deep inside his head a voice shouted the other answer he would not give to Heat.

Slowly retracting a step into more steps as he passed the Embryon tribe one last time as he neared the ledge with a fall that would take both of them to death. Heat had only wanted to be the one who protected Sera which made him selfish and strayed off his path.

But Serph could understand very well as both of them had in thing in common now.

They were rivals and they would end like rivals as he stepped off the ledge feeling the air whip around his back as he began to see darkness and hear Sera's scream.

Serph was now protecting her from Heat and now his vision went pitch black as a smile crept up to his face.

He understood now.

Because he was selfish too…..
