Disclaimer: Alright, not all of this was my idea. I got a TON of ideas from the returners(FFRPG) and I thought it would be wise to give them credit for a lot of the world development. Thank you. C&C please.

Chapter 1:

Memories Return

Kefka awoke within a wide, open field. Tall grass extended out from him in every direction. He chose a direction and began to walk-stagger.

Through his mind went thoughts of the world he just departed. He got flashes of memories, some more vivid than others. Memories of his former life. His memories were most composed when he thought of the war he fought. The one that was against the espers.

Kefka abruptly felt a great stroke of pain. He collapsed in his own steps into the grass. Kefka slowly began to fall into a trance that was much like a dream.

Kefka was young and energetic. He was second only to a sentimental idiot. Leo Sheridan. All of Kefka's teachers said 'he's a whiz at tactics, but his methods are...well... a bit anarchic.' He knew that he would still be better than that stupid idiot.

Kefka joined the Gastorian military, the best in Aeolus, and rose quickly from his rank of lieutenant to a brigadier general. Kefka soon decided that new leadership was in order. He hatched an elaborate plan to get emperor Chere in his own dining room. He found a way to get all the guards out of the room, so he could do it without anyone knowing. He was about to kill him, when quite unexpectedly all the guards entered the dining room. Kefka quickly hid before he was sighted, and left out the window. He found quickly that there were three of Nicholas Gestahl's (meaning the emperor's top-advisor), personal guard waiting for him. The young man was captured and taken directly to Gestahl.

A plan was devised by Gestahl to usurp Chere's position and name Kefka his general. Before long, he would have the empire he deserved.

They staged a hunting accident, where Kefka fired his gun from behind the two, and hit Chere, killing him instantly. Kefka couldn't have been happier, ruling the empire's entire militia.
