On the Brink of Destruction

This pretty much stemmed from the idea of, "What if nothing went right at the critical moment of a story? What if someone betrayed the main group, and instead of victory being assured, everything is up in the air?" which has probably been done before, but I really like it and wanted to mess around with it. It's completely original, and while heavily inspired by the Persona series, it does not actually use any of their characters or plotlines (I think).
