"Ugh, that hurt," Jacob just woke up, and he begins to take in his surroundings, "wha- where am I? I remember the explosion and-"
"Isn't this place beautiful? It makes you feel all powerful, doesn't it?" Jacob had no idea where this voice was coming from, but he did notice that he was currently in the oval office. And outside-! "And when you look outside, isn't that what you want? Nobody else in this damn city, no, nobody in the whole world deserves to live, isn't that right?" Outside the windows, Jacob could make out the skyline of Washington, and it looked like a scene from a post-apoc movie. All of the buildings were crumbling and on fire, and the atmosphere was filled with smoke.
"What?! Who are you? Where are you? What is this place?"
A figure steps into the room, "my, my, so many questions! You should know what this is, it's exactly what you want."
Jacob strained his eyes to see the man's face- Brown hair, white skin, blue eyes, average height. Then it hit him, that describes himself as well, doesn't it? "What are you talking about, and why do you look just like me?!"
"Because," the man's face showed the largest smirk he'd ever seen, "I am you."

Junes Food Court, Inaba, Japan
The members of the team currently in Inaba, save Chie who was probably still sleeping, were gathered around the table. They were all prepared for something like this, no matter how sudden it might have been, because they had all learned something important last year: shit can happen at any time, without warning.
Yosuke checks his watch, "It's almost noon, I think we should start the meeting now."
"But what about Chie-senpai? Where is she?" Rise complained, two members of the team were currently out-of-town, so they could use everyone they could get.
Just then, heavy footfalls could be heard coming from the direction of the elevator, "*gasp* *gasp* Sorry I'm late! So, Why'd you call everyone here? Yu's not supposed to be here until Friday."
"Well, I just about to talk about that. Have you all heard of the explosion that happened in America recently?" Yosuke begins the meeting, one of the responsibilities of being self-appointed second-in-charge.
Yukiko seems to be the only one who actually knows what he's talking about, judging by the responses. "Oh, yeah! I heard a whole lot of people died, and no one knows what caused it."
Kanji immediately catches on, "So, you think shadows did it. That right, Yosuke-senpai?"
"Well, I'm not too sure about that, but I do know one thing."
"And what's that?"
"I know who did it, so we can just ask him how."
Jaws dropped at this, especially Rise's, "How do you know?"
"Well, it was raining last night, and a certain someone couldn't sleep," he shot a look at Teddie, "So he went to get another late night snack. This woke me up, and then, it was midnight."
Yukiko knew where this was going, "the Midnight Channel..,"
"Yes, and on it, was a man I've never seen before. He was speaking English and said some stuff about how he wanted those people, and everybody else, to die. It gave me a new respect for paying attention in class."
"A little too late for that," Chie teased, "So you think he's in there? How do you think we'll be able to locate him?"
"Shut up, you failed too! And I think I got enough information last night to locate him." Yosuke lifted the team's supply bag, "So let's not waste any time."
Author's Notes:
Sorry for the short chapters, I promise they'll get longer as the story goes on, but these are just such good stopping points that I can't help but end the chapter here. Anyway, I've got high hopes for this story, some people have already sent in plot suggestions and OCs, but I would always appreciate more. For OCs, this is the beginning of the story, so it will probably take a while to get to them, but I promise I will get to them.
If you have any more comments, questions, or suggestions, please tell them to me. I can't change something if you don't tell me what to change. Same goes for questions and suggestions. Please review or PM me. that's what keeps this story going.
Thanks to those who've contributed so far, you make me want to never stop writing.
Also, in case you're asking, yes I will add some P3 characters later on.
See you tomorrow!
