Since my latest obsession is Final Fantasy XII, decided I ought to try and contribute to the stories here. Although this was mainly due to not seeing many stories so far focusing on Reks. What can I say, I like the guy and was devastated when he died in the way beginning. I get the feeling I might've gotten this a bit wrong though, but that might be my paranoia talking...again.

Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy XII, so that means I don't own the characters. Simple as that.

He joined to help Dalmasca, because war was never good.

There had already been many deaths, including those of his brother's friend Penelo. Her parents had been good people, letting he and Vaan live with them ever since the plague. It was sad that good people like them were gone and he swore he'd do whatever he could so that there would be no more.

He entrusted Vaan and Penelo to Migelo, because the old Bangaa was trustworthy. He took one last look at the two and said goodbye.

The Dalmascan army left for Nalbina that night.

Captain Basch was someone who he admired and trusted. The man hadn't abandoned him in the beginning and taught him the basics as they battled in Nalbina. He was honored to fight along side the man and the other soldiers. Time was running short though and they all knew something terrible would happen once the peace treaty signing was finished. Soldiers came to detain them and he chose to stop them on his own, sending the Captain and the others to save the king.

As he slashed and killed the Archadian soldiers, he had to remember what he was doing this for. He was doing this for Dalmasca, he was doing this for Rabanastre, he was doing this for Penelo, he was doing this for Vaan.

Just a little longer, just a little longer before he could return to Rabanastre. He'd see Vaan and Penelo again, as well as the friends he had in the city. Up the steps, through the door, rejoin the others and go home.

As he see things through his hazy eyes and drops to the ground in pain, the captains betrayal and everything else around him is the last thing on his mind.

Because he joined the Dalmascan army to help bring peace back to Dalmasca and so that Vaan could have a life without a war.

Because in the end, Reks fought for his brother.

AN: Yeah...that's all I have right now. I'm thinking of doing the other characters later as soon as one of them hits me with a brick. I live off randomness and until a random idea pops into my head then it ain't happening. If this character was OOC or if you feel something is incorrect then I'm terribly sorry. Review if you want, but please no flames or my Amusement will have a field day.
