(OOC: The construction of this thread has been approved by Billy.)
While Jinko was busy at the store across the street from the casino, Serix had gone out back for a cigarette. She used her finger to light it, keeping a minimum distance so as to not burn it all at once.
Serix: I can't take all of this.
Serix had taken to wearing a locket with a picture of herself and Jinko, from the last time they went out. What she didn't know was that this would be one of the last times they saw each other. After she had finished her cigarette, there was an explosion inside the casino. A large chunk of the bilding had fallen off and was headed right at her.

*As the building rained down, the large chunk cracked Serix square in the head. Soon the whole building fell in an almost biblical explosion. Hours passed, and the smoke had settled. Almost anyone would've been rendered dead. Sensing the residual heat in the area. An unknown red navi came to the scene, siphoning the heat for her own purposes. After a few minutes of drawing in power, she was almost at her peak energy, before seeing a hand protruding from the ruins. Shocked as to why the hand wasn't deleted, she pulled out the figure from the rubble by the wrist, holding the unconscious navi in front of her eyes. Shaking what she believed to be a corpse, she called to the navi.*
???: Hey! what's the matter with you? What're you doing sleeping under a bed of hot rocks?

Serix awoke to someone shaking her and yelling at her.
Serix: It just felt sooooo good. Do you have any idea how hard it is working in a casino? After all that, i needed to relax.
She looked back to see that the casino was no-longer there.
Serix: wh-what happened? Where is everyone? Who are you?
Serix was getting more and more upset by the second. Her body appeared to become covered in flame as she did so.
Serix: Wh- why am i not hurt?
Something seemed off. A lot of things seemed off, but one thing above all else. There was something about this other navi.
Serix: My flames, they don't hurt you?
She found this odd, but was sure there was a good reason.

*The female didn't let go of the navi's wrist. Keeping her at eye level, her feet dangling over the ground. The fiery navi stared at her quizzically.*
??: Casino? What's a Casino? All that's here is a buncha ruins...and, if anyone else was here, they're probably dead. Happens, y'know. As for who I am...
*Just then, the navi paused dramatically, before spoeaking in a manner most definitive.*
??: I...really don't know...hehe...huh?
*As Serix ignited, the unknown female smiled, before drawing in the fire, snuffing her out.*
??: Ya can't hurt me, 'cause I'm made of the stuff. Ha!
*Just then, she let go of Serix and phased through her as pure fire-data, before rematerializing, with a smirk on her face.*
??: I'm alright when it comes t' fire, lass!

Serix: oh, that's good, i wouldn't want to hurt the one that helped me.
Her composure drained once more. She broke down and began to cry.
Serix: Their gone, their all gone, even him.
She punched the ground repeatedly, as hard as she could until her knuckles bled.
Serix: Damnit, he told me we'd be together forever. Why? why would he leave me like this?!
She sat there sobbing as she thought of everyone who, to her knowledge, was now gone.

*The woman just stared at Serix quizzically. Why was she crying over a few dead navis? It was an unusual sight.*
??: Why're you crying? People die all the time, y'know. You're alive, so quit whining. This building is almost outta juice, so there's no longer a reason for me to stay once I drain it. I suggest you keep living, and NOT moping around with your life.

Serix: He was my reason for living. Without him, I have nothing left. He was the one that helped me when I needed it. When I was lonely, he was there. I don't see how I can go on without him. Tell me, if the one you loved more than anything else died, would you be able to go on without him?
She became covered in flame once more as many virii were beginning to surround them.
Serix: Well, I guess he'd be mad at me if I died here.
Serix shot a fireball at the ground, burning it and some of the virii. Then she started punching and kicking a few of them.
Serix: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For some reason, she was starting to enjoy fighting these virii. Yes, this is what she would do for a living. She would become a mercenary for hire. As she finished the last of the virii, she walked up to the woman. (note: these are extremely low level viri. more like pre-virii)
Serix: Thank you, for helping me out so much.
She offered the stranger her hand, hiding a piece of paper in it.

*The girl whistled after Serix incinerated all of the viruses around them. It was quite a spectacle. After taking her hand, the girl noticed the paper within it, after looking over it, she laughed nervously.*
??: Yeah...the problem with this is....I can't read...hehe...Never learned how...

Serix: Oh, sorry. I didn't know. My name is Serix. Now that I think about it, Jinko should have been on his break about the time of the explosion, so he should still be alive.
Serix took out another piece of paper and wrote a message on it.
Serix: Please, If you see him, can you give him this?
She sealed the note and handed it to the Mystery woman.
Serix: Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to ask your name.

*The woman looked at the picture in her hands before just staring awkwardly at Serix.*
??: And why can't you just bring it to him? You don't seem quite incapable, and besides, there's no reason for me to. And yeah, you did ask me for my name, and I told ya, I don't quite know, never had one, nor gave myself one...Sorry.

Serix: Please, I have my reasons for asking you this. I have something I need to do, and It will keep me busy for quite a long time. Please, could you just do this one thing for me?
With that, she placed the sealed note in the other navi's hands and walked off, tears streaming from her eyes.

*The woman looked at the note and watched Serix walk away. Once she was out of sight, the girl dropped the note and walked off, not looking back even once.*
??: Psh....ain't my problem, she wanted it done, she could've done it. There ain't anythin' in it for me, so oh well....
*And before long, the woman was gone. She would never forget the girl, but before long the very thought of her request escaped her very mind. Indeed, a bond like this would be everlasting, and yet...unbeknownst to either navi...all through the flames of destruction and havoc.*
