Juniper and Danny landed in clean superhero poses, ready for action. The area they found themselves in was a circular gladiator arena. The outer bounds were rivers of lava and the center was taken up by Unos’ mech.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzwmQJu6j8Z
It was a large stationary saucer with 8 legs stuck in the ground. Thanks to that, there was little room to maneuver. The heat wasn’t helping things either. Good thing there are only two of them.
460Please respect copyright.PENANApJrVRcDjAl
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfblp5X6yQO
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAB8It57lJcR
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARsrCbpMISB
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxMEYaITw6D
Unos smiles before answering.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6T9LuQuNPm
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATyeH6RyOT8
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYqbFLwx7gD
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvJAI9NSClj
Danny remembers the Jimmy robot and how he said he was the prototype. He looks at June and wonders if she is the finished product.
460Please respect copyright.PENANABybDQWgpix
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoBUNrdZuC6
Unos: “Magic is a very interesting concept. I thought if we could harness it, maybe it could give us an advantage against XJ9. So we lured the real you and captured her. Then I tasked Tres with making you. You would be our ticket to victory.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAaudH36vCG5
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqyZAhAoYo6
Unos: “Yes, Tres seemed determined to create a perfect robot replica first. I’ll admit, aside from what’s inside, you are truly perfect. If our plans weren’t ruined, I would have ordered him to wipe your memory so we could build more. The perfect army.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANACgPSn6pVS4
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjvGafzWPh7
Danny: “June, wait!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAM6ZHwz3L7U
Fist raised ready to end this joke, June wasn’t prepared for several turrets to pop out of the mech and fire. Before June was hit, Danny came in and flew her out of there. Floating high above the arena, June glared at Unos.
460Please respect copyright.PENANARSULnp7Hic
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWlokuiIkTz
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAz1Odz3G20s
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfU8NkL4aHN
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVaJj2A3Uun
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzXdfop4pvQ
Danny: “Whoa!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnQGZKEttCi
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAX7e4wZtyDP
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAE9Vreca1Rf
Juniper: “Ready.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAn4nXf6DtMp
Danny turned them intangible and charged through the blaster fire. When he was close, he threw June at one of the turrets. Prepared, June destroyed it with a punch and dashed toward Unos.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAw2JpIzBgnm
Before the turrets could turn to June, Danny blasted them with his ghost ray. Free to move, an enraged June punched the glass shell covering Unos.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAyW5UTxVBhv
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMBC1MjRt3O
June: “GAAAH!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALbZ82WBDSJ
Danny: “June!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxCze0GFzH1
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlzcG7nQbj0
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIx4spt2hDR
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9yVun2ag2I
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAb6K4ENwiOY
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAe1u0srj15X
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA3iYojM6uvc
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZMFEabxkFk
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGuOzKitjVl
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPazOTg4JCr
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAne7sImFKHS
Out of one of the walls, a chamber is uncovered. What’s revealed is a pod filled with orange liquid, and suspended within was the real Juniper Lee.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGOYiRhhKdB
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArsSAzCnmmW
Unos: “Yes, and now that you know, what will you do? Join me, and then I’ll destroy the original. We won’t make anymore and won’t wipe your memories. You’ll be the one and only, Juniper Lee.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2dh0oPWrc2
Juniper: “I-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4VQfc95ICp
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYeZHPNtkSe
Juniper: “Huh?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAakoRHcHEdp
Danny: “It doesn’t matter if you’re the real June or not. You’re still our friend and still a hero. We can figure this out together after kicking this guy’s butt. Don’t take that deal. He’s probably lying to you anyway.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAeRJDAcncDR
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMsa5zSQywL
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXYWRK5b4bG
Juniper: “No deal! Until the other June is here, I’m the Te Xuan ze and it’s my job to kick the sorry butt of little freaks like you! So get ready, Unos; I’m turning you into a zero!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbYCZQpfErb
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4My0SUJJ6n
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAiQTFWuodlT
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbZRneWsNgK
Juniper: “Good idea.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAESXG1Rhy0U
Danny flies under the mech and throws June at one leg while he goes for another. Almost at the same time, they destroyed the legs.
460Please respect copyright.PENANALr1l0pwqFA
Juniper: “Yeah!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIaHEuZRygZ
Unos: “Nice try!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzWi96No0Nc
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjmN0NS6UpI
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANADLvqRpdQNv
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAP7bClEbH5a
Juniper: “Plan C?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIUMJ5Mib1U
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVrIQBveH8D
Danny goes intangible and flies up. Planning to snatch Unos right out of the mech, Danny phases through the machine. But the spider saw this coming and electrified the whole mech. Unable to phase back without getting shocked, Danny kept flying until he was in the air.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAhybxWwexon
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6aiVJaYJvv
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgYf75uCJ5g
June: “GAAH!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgGa5rMsnJ4
Danny: “On no!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWqycFQQ8tV
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVtr8Ukd8Nr
June: “Ugh, again!?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAeqGu1i0myU
Unos: “I can’t keep the field up forever, but I can turn it on anytime I want. I’m connected to the energy that powers the ship. I can do this for days, can you?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvof5p1gTpN
He doesn’t wait for their answer; he unleashes more turrets to fire on their location. Danny flies away while June jumps away. The two twirled and twisted under the saucer, taking any chance to destroy a turret or leg.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA93I0hTkJHx
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJqVNuy02ZG
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARaxDXXOOSp
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQ79i1xszJw
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZgTDEtXSJT
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAv2PSmtNLot
Juniper: “Hurry!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9aTw3kT8wT
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAD47kSl73zt
Unos: “Are you sure you want to do that? Instead of helping you, she’s more likely to turn on her fake. You’ll be fighting me alone; can you handle that?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGGPjBeMIU9
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVY73QJc8ds
Unos: “Tch.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARQChn7XgdQ
Unos tries to close the chamber where June is in, but that won’t stop a ghost. Danny phases through the wall and blasts the pod where Juniper is in. He makes sure to catch her before she falls on her face.
460Please respect copyright.PENANACU7wBsN6G5
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAyAbfd6TNF6
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkjAcGSFnaa
He lets her go so she can stand on her own. Seeing Juniper now, he has to say that there is little to no difference. He can sense more energy in this June, though.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4Hu6RYMmp
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAr7GpBl62Nt
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsq3E0XxIc5
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANABRNqMc1Omu
Juniper: “Captured? Oh, yeah! Some jokers named Evil Toy Co. I can’t believe I got captured! Well… I guess it’s not the first time.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlOyPS6eV6i
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAO8A1cQe4cP
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnC4wU8cQ0V
Danny: “Behind me, but you might see something that… might confuse you. I can explain everything after, right now; we have to take down the spider guy.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlYzZTnxt0W
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATUlKzhRi2W
460Please respect copyright.PENANASrrkYc4U6u
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
460Please respect copyright.PENANARhMoBoQzDz
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFtZuHTUZFP
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmrRNa7q8do
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2FME6FvYuw
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqRtnl3x4jG
Unos: “What are you-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANACwpTbEDg1d
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlFBdqueUlB
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvDRLhQjw4K
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGIbCJUdDA5
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmtcsUhc0de
Danny appears floating above the mech. When they were distracted, the ghost boy dropped off the other Juniper and got into position. Where’s the other Juniper?
460Please respect copyright.PENANALHEhOAvUwY
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHdhaTEnprC
Juniper 2: “What the-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAja8kUs00XT
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9ozuS3LB22
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKJSoAAix5t
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOMRv0LZvYa
The two girls did what was asked and retreated to where the exit tube was. Seeing them safe, Danny inhaled and brought up those feelings he had when he first learned this ability.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJA8TKF2ssO
Fear.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6GOmSZHYVD
Then, he unleashed the Ghostly Wail. The immense ghost energy engulfed the mech, cracking glass and crushing its remaining legs. With a boom, the saucer collapses onto the ground.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAikngzAgTnW
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAeB4x8kXcIz
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4auBlrJxwD
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6bMgpiDoXc
Unos: “N-No!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQxsaPdyKIb
Juniper 2: “Now!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArb7hWnJxcL
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA8MDs5Hgp8H
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEQChsU8Y04
They reached the glass and reared back a heavy blow laced with their full strength. But when they unleashed their attack, it was met with that annoying electric shield. But it was far weaker.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsMy5LoTPVX
Pushing past the pain, the two surge even more strength into the attack. More cracks form on the glass; the end has come. With one final battle cry, the glass shattered and the electric shield dropped. But their attack didn’t stop until it met the cheeks of Unos.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfZvmeyxFUG
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYZHIkg7eBm
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJiwAsPEq9u
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZ81Nv2qRfp
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbTCpuSe3l9
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoyBSthsrsO
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAS1uUm8ysKT
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA8NkmSsZsGM
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA49FOmzb5KI
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGPx1fSBchX
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
460Please respect copyright.PENANApMhDsgE9Db
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9rNW2ndzQm
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmGpfdMoBNp
June 1 rolled her eyes and helped the two of them onto more solid ground. Now finally out of danger, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPQcpbYXYx4
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzH0iYEsFz6
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfJmiV1VHnU
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbi7XZEPEv0
Juniper 1: “Who?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAAgo9QNCR6P
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKqwlLA2SZR
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwyxypeLrGT
Juniper 1: “That’s…. a lot to take in. I’m used to different dimensions, but parallel Earths, talking sponges, aliens, and robot spiders… it’s crazy.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1WeMul05vd
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAW29xzx4yO6
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkwygMiRstO
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzbDTbGjf7h
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXcvVCleaD2
Juniper 2: “Look, this is bad enough for me as it is. I don’t want to burden my family and friends with it. So it would be better to not tell them. You should just go.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIX2V6jQ7zN
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoWtk4WTsAo
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlo4LXiLVsD
Juniper 1: “You’re not some evil clone that needs to be banished. Yeah, it’s freaky that someone made a robot version of me, but it doesn’t mean I hate you or anything.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4PnsK23G4r
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0gyd7w0KWD
Juniper 1: “You’re me; how could you not expect this? If I were in your shoes, I would hate to have to say goodbye to everyone.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvOkRZwnC7H
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASAAfyY4RiA
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqlUhzA0SN3
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmRXikXf67A
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAn3Q0MFwnEF
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAt8qdUdcQRY
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFLjR8kwg21
Juniper 2: “Right.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAo68dEL7HGU
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAiaOyMXkhiM
460Please respect copyright.PENANAyz52PUUGGt
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANACyRgdZm3cb
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALHmlQNo6AP
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxnWIu8fTQw
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjJJ9yEKmyT
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWbS8HRYqDr
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdYoRO8GXM2
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARykki0XeAk
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdzeVELjwV2
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2pXZXqm8fE
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArVOKCGdF30
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPyrenioOye
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAS1qD5MpAB6
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANANtUSXZijuG
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAo33OtJuZ2Z
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxG8mKRB3Pa
Jimmy: “It was the best and easiest way to neutralize Dos. He was only interested in invasion because he likes to strategize. Now that he’s addicted to chess, he won’t invade anyone.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlbjEaOJwQL
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAS8innd2K7z
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGYGm6CW02W
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKdsmbSe9Cv
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAltqdzW0sE8
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcxn0meKekK
Jimmy: “I have to. But I’ll play you again if you can beat my little brother in a match 5 million times in a row.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMk2CUj9UkY
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9gZ0XKQgfg
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASPQBH0gT66
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcRByfJtFv5
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvQSJb3fCHo
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYC4MqunrrU
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnony7Dd5ar
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAj6n2FbpWuS
Dos: “Great!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYjkGECd12g
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
460Please respect copyright.PENANACXWgyIHYeN
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZKCSIUv014
Jimmy: “Long story short, he’s a robot I created. Not like June though, but he’s still good enough to play with Dos for a long time.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsgjQy4reDn
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7kWhkGWctj
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
460Please respect copyright.PENANAP2ZgXt2jLE
460Please respect copyright.PENANArhPoCuRjPi
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAROnhunmuRu
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAq3PvD84rnO
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANApKrHyyahuS
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASTnMqZFoH9
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFlBzUNVpOq
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAf35Fv5YQyS
The Junes: “Later.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7d2uAscZXp
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFvSd4qiCua
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7yLWF3iYeb
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7mFjagv7L1
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
460Please respect copyright.PENANAh2gKTJ023M
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
460Please respect copyright.PENANARMrfiGVwsW
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQseZpF8uYb
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANABQo5t0hVw7
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAR9V6SLw80Z
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5KGVgc2Qa
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALQx3aDcUwR
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0GkJ35LOqn
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYY16CeyqkA
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ1RlJrlzA
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9TCKmwH6Dq
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAj9tYiIdKDc
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA22YdyWDh5I
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9xSKVpVd26
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsTgUCqFJ0t
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArzlBGBzZ4A
Dos: “In fact, our race is sort of the laughing stock of the galactic community. Most of us are lazy and have no desire to conquer.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwrmEcqRhTU
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAiPL5UdOhUq
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAhDsav2ft2M
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxntzpR335d
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXE7OzJjoMa
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFj3Yi21i9C
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzerf9jyMfg
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAhsgWt0ZG2k
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARzUKEok5T7
Tres: “We belonged together, no matter the place. It didn’t matter what people said, we were happy the way we were. But he didn’t see that. Now he has to go to galactic prison or something.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANApFcEr8NN50
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6S51Nie0W8
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjPtJ7VMK0V
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6HyarwEB6Q
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAp6GOz0RDKD
460Please respect copyright.PENANANxTLWai0lY
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANADUG6v5Uiey
When the group got back, they left the spiders to themselves and just watched. Of course, the June situation was explained soon after stepping back.
460Please respect copyright.PENANATMWIBeqTFQ
Everyone was accepting of the situation and befriended both Junes, something June 2 was touched by. However, whether she can stay in Orchid Bay remains to be seen.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6cl0X5Drn
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHY1yUmovUT
Unos: “Untie me!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA78phDTcRgt
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjEbSPFwF9y
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWa9nYde6n6
The two small spiders were on the shoulder of Unos, making sure the webbing held. They might be robots, but they can still produce strong spider silk if needed.
460Please respect copyright.PENANArvmY7risnq
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoe8xSZWZvC
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMw76OGeeCi
Dos: “As much as I enjoyed the conquest from a strategic point of view, I also would have preferred to continue the war games on the home world.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJOuNIiJUlc
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9RV12YAnDf
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2jsFCHHuFg
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHK9kDN6bEu
Ancilla: “And you do!? You have done nothing but drive us apart. I’m still surprised how much influence you alone had. To think, Dos and Tres weren’t even that into this whole invasion idea.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVS2Lqp6YyF
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlHAkqNa1kC
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmBF7qqmi0A
Unos: “You would have all the resources you could ever need after we won the glory of conquering Earth. No more sneers from the galactic community either. But now… it’s hopeless. I lost to a bunch of children.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEr9qCrzFVe
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXiV5NYLvcb
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMl0a0NimLw
Ancilla: “No! The time for fighting is over. If it wasn’t for the wise words of one of those children, I would have dealt with you personally.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsXcQSlt74x
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAH3A6NHnNgm
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANACUQSByWnn0
Unos: “… Never.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdBkYfWVO9r
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5w55rgnjca
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAigZVHPFEZE
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQeI5ogcm6x
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEm9KOIwP63
Ancilla: “We won’t forget him and won’t leave him behind. But it’s his choice if he wants to be with the rest of us. If not, then there is nothing we can do.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqoTP72h3lL
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
460Please respect copyright.PENANArZiMkkphzF
Lilo: “You know, despite what you did, they still love you. You were just trying to help them, but you did it the wrong way.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAw6rBg6BmjH
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJUEuyDVt4t
Lilo: “No, they wouldn’t. I don’t like it when Mertle says bad things about me either. But I don’t think I would hurt Nani just to get back at her. And if I did, I would say sorry.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA60AKD56JC0
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfMLmqLxEqt
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAiu5usaV2V2
Unos took a moment to think about what he should do. What path should he take, and what would benefit his family in the end?
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1fQVxDucg5
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAyKGRg1uHmJ
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAy77if0hwju
Dos: “Same.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1kOngtnhqB
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2Hh3X9fUg2
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqlxU54101i
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANACrVQDuCbin
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWihC3oRE3U
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsCNjF8x0Hy
Widow: “You may be the youngest of us, but you were the one who decided to take a stand. You recruited great heroes to bring us all together again. If there was anyone who could keep us together, it’s you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVisR5whkND
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAuzJcTQwXIt
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwhytmlzba5
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAhuWg6NX0WL
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAtl4KSVwzf7
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2IzRIqIgDr
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7cfDvXavu1
As for June 2, she wasn’t completely happy with the outcome. But it’s not like she can do much about it. Complaining won’t change her situation. At least Unos wasn’t fully forgiven or in charge anymore.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnMTifBJenQ
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASv1DZOa0Bx
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ8KLQ28Nt
Ancilla: “Yes, I’ll send you all back home. Then we’ll break down this factory and return to the main ship. Afterward, we’ll go back to our home planet.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYZtoF8mh9p
Jimmy: “Great! But you don’t need to send us home yourself. I figured out how to make more stable portals of my own. I think I can send everyone home.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOqxzSJHOnJ
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7xY5STzHBg
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7KUeAiyuZe
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOfrQRVChB2
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcaszWS0jMO
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
460Please respect copyright.PENANAU7oJTugaO8
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAl7LuwoRBLA
“Yeah!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArtTIqLJeOB
Jimmy takes a small device and drops it on the ground. A swirling pink energy field is generated afterward. Using another small device, Jimmy types in some coordinates.
460Please respect copyright.PENANADn0u1SodBe
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAuVzr6EDF58
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAn9rhGSN4k6
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXHRve1W3OH
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3Iry616fO
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoiJC8hB47O
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQyQrus5fe6
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAouKtXQhHz6
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA8c1aRbSHZk
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmUzBMEGReR
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1U7crNJQlP
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAhaQzU4240B
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYObh9RkqUR
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgrudTPyH71
Lilo: “Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter if you’re a robot. You’re just as real as anyone else, and you’re our friend. We won’t forget you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASLhPyf2TbG
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAusyFbR7AUZ
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgEphwjnaMe
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQzp7SRfKpF
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQ08FKHNvdT
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASRWpuv5n8I
Juniper 2: “What?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkwl4jZNGHq
Danny: “Based on the little I know about you, magic and all that, I think I know a place you can fit in. A one true place like Lilo says.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYoZphQEGI3
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAl4SdZy7Inx
Danny: “I hope so. But just in case, I’ll be at the Nasty Burger. Jimmy will leave the portal open and wait for you. Okay?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdgtSL9MYPS
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPsAT2kbnvm
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALNDPqI4UxP
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0EX0t01AjQ
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAouXpaZbhMG
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAipM3V41HYY
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAd4x73fYRLm
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIohU3lBCmt
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAP7KnDE7ebe
Juniper 1: “Don’t jinx it. Let’s go home and explain things to Ray Ray and Monroe. You’ll have to sneak in, though.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnq0CA8wVw7
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAF4nfKod4FT
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkEoNWqRLQG
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqk7mvegJ9Y
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANADoWFYkNnxX
Juniper 2 successfully sneaked into their room while Juniper 1 had to explain her strange absence. Good thing she met Monroe and Ray Ray first; explaining things to their parents would be difficult. Right now, the group was in June’s room.
460Please respect copyright.PENANACHYdgb6SKd
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0QGI9lFg8j
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfO5L5Ivadv
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAAiBNdGq8bz
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5yDZJNLnFS
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5XuXouMcjs
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9fndZMUods
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5xriDOV7pW
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALoj71CXpck
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIzTheJiMpr
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFbCyOhVHkl
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAm4gsN39ysP
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA3MKPI1oBg7
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOLwreJAbFM
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnIZcqJWGQW
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOkURywD0zk
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKkgzH89Bod
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHRDEAcUVwD
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAVsEev8l0sp
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANABPWnvL5ED5
Monroe: “I don’t know if you noticed, but your mother only has three kids. How do we explain the sudden appearance of another you?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANADxO3MJvrWD
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYavOHwyZlX
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAyBWDwaYxy5
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA3mU46gituD
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALT7Pu0xo7x
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANApXIhmYJk9V
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
460Please respect copyright.PENANATBdIofZU61
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0d4xlgfDUR
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfA2tlxhkUx
Ah-Ma: “Because it would be nearly impossible to hide you. Worse than that, you’re simply not the Te Xuan Ze. The magic in you is not the same as the… main June.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATcfJRINGQZ
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAuiIMSYLmBr
The old woman sighs before sitting on the bed and signaling the two girls to sit next to her. She takes both of their hands and notices the difference immediately.
460Please respect copyright.PENANABNeXyH4I90
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbK2Xynm3Su
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAtPUNh4jZlq
Ah-Ma: “Because she’s not a perfect copy. The magic of the Te Xuan Ze, of the Elders, is not easily copied. She’s slightly weaker than you, and I don’t think she’ll be as good at magic either.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFsq65iAbF6
Juniper 2: “No way…”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAl0mkDRbYYu
Monroe: “It gets worse. You don’t think demons wouldn’t take notice of those minor, but still noticeable, differences? What do you think will happen when they realize something is wrong?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANADHo9lvUkMY
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGssN9jckKW
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAhnR1sBH4CU
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsNRY1n0llp
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0kBxGn8qUC
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAspGhSaOTAW
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHmMk38UWEV
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANALj3zz5DmeZ
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA3GfuBKeyLa
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKfmk8iDLbh
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwhUuInQSLd
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgntgKEwsuh
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAy4PaOrnnXW
Juniper 2: “Yeah… but if you don’t mind… can I say goodbye to everyone? When it comes to my friends, I just want to hang out with them one more time.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAdrSmkqNxOz
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQjDKBNWVUM
So that’s what she did. To not waste time or worry anyone else, they didn’t explain the situation to Lila or Dennis. June 2 just hung out with them for a bit before telling her she had something to do.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzPvUT7O4TL
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAsij1lASkUl
Then she hung out with her family. They were even more oblivious, but June 2 took what she could get. She hugged them, and told them how much she loved them. It confused them, but they accepted it.
460Please respect copyright.PENANALvOtrz3D9W
Finally, she spent time with her school friends. Jody could also tell something was wrong. She wondered if it was about what she still hadn’t questioned her friend about. Yeah, the fact she saw her jumping buildings.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAKNiURsbw39
But not having the bravery to confront her yet, Jody says nothing. Instead, the friends just spent some quality time before Juniper knew it was time to go.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAF9YfGX96QU
All the while, June 1 got a taste of what June 2 would have had to deal with. She couldn’t be at home or anywhere her friends might be. Ray Ray and Monroe were with her, but she knew her twin would not have that luxury.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxWOR04cEwU
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAV0OytoK1c2
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIo0Lrq6snN
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvfMecpNugh
Juniper 1: “Well… try to look at the bright side; you can leave Orchid Bay. Maybe you can even become an astronaut for both of us.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJEizqmnq6b
Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOFFqCJVpp6
In truth, that is a great bright side to this. She hated the fact she was bound here until the next Te Xuan Ze was chosen. But the cost was heavy.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7wwfNKTTGa
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoTcLC6yXah
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOqbk0UY379
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATaE6WvijCp
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOfBTQFAOUH
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxJZRNlwS9p
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAk2YuDJ78sV
She says as she pats his head.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4HH2VgAl1S
Ah-Ma was the last one to say goodbye. She hasn’t known this Juniper long, but she is too much like her granddaughter to not care about. She will see her again, but she knows this June will be alone for a good amount of time.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxsdNtxfaQv
She’s only 11 years old, it truly isn’t fair. The best she can do for her now is give her a warm hug and send her away with a book bag full of supplies.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3zdctK0aH
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAmM6q7rwBv3
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAaYyZRCcXeu
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOUlTZusGk5
After that, June 2 waved them goodbye, not knowing when she’d see them again. Stepping through the portal, a flash of light later, June saw Jimmy already waiting.
460Please respect copyright.PENANArSjHedOBN2
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATYhAGiZjSv
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA80mQQs1Q5c
Not wanting to dwell on it too long, Jimmy changed the coordinates for the portal. After she was gone, Jimmy would take Dos to Brobot and then relax in his lab.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgP6FUHNIZY
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
460Please respect copyright.PENANArQVc30UXaM
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6XyuKdv4Tt
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANANp1hmwrH6A
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6KDylFiGg4
Danny: “Don’t worry, she’s a hero too. She’s even more famous than me. I’ll also call ahead for you so my friend knows who you are.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANArtol88A0Fi
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAa2HI25ao1S
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1U0vZVyIvQ
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANACiOexTy8OD
He was sure. Not even an hour later, a ride was ready to pick her up and fly her to New York. That’s right, fly her. In a small plane! Who’s this friend Danny knows that can do something so impossible!?
460Please respect copyright.PENANAedf1yDq5o7
Regardless, it didn’t take long for June to arrive in New York City. As soon as they touched down, she said her thanks and exited the plane.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMZfz08AV8v
On the way to her destination, she felt it. There was magic in the city. It felt familiar but different. That’s when the situation really hit here.
460Please respect copyright.PENANALbWPD00vvm
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqJcAKNZGPh
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPPV9PhlQUp
She had no friends here.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA01NNLdJWmG
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMp0fXVppIt
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
460Please respect copyright.PENANANJ8WHFIlhf
She was… alone.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAE16k7IBLgl
It took all she had not to finally break down. She tried her best to be strong in front of her friends and family, but it was a mask.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfd3RJA9rhr
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvAQAbCDPRf
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWjJCDyz9mB
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYRBdCyhMij
She violently shakes her head. That wouldn’t be right. Her other self doesn’t deserve that. But that doesn’t stop her from feeling the pain of abandonment.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkofMq6JkRy
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvlv4GydSyW
That’s when she remembered the one upside to this situation: she was free. She had no responsibilities and could go anywhere she wanted. She could be an astronaut if she wanted.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAfg8h1Eo4cZ
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
460Please respect copyright.PENANASZrGoD9z7b
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIMb4LrrJ80
Juniper: “Yeah, this won’t be so bad. It’s fine. Besides, I can still visit. It’s not goodbye forever. I can see everyone again.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXhetLSlMB7
With that in mind, she picks up the pace to her destination. Eventually, she made it to some worn-down-looking shop called Canal Street Electronics.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbPVLL5IRdU
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgx93JW0VwE
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAH8VqccvTCA
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.
460Please respect copyright.PENANARPVDkbrXgW
To Be Continued
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgEb4nf9bMN
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIlY8DMu1Oa
A/N: Thanks for reading, and expect more from the Legacy Multiverse if life allows. Don’t expect the next story to be the sequel to this one. There are many episodes and events to cover, and they don’t all revolve around June.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEdxrqHyBUu
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
460Please respect copyright.PENANAy9ddyNCHGF
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAN5jsW82vbH
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5uxGtWLhgs
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
460Please respect copyright.PENANASAHarUvYw5
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAF1fRyLymYb
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAX9RJh2OI0X
- Allows me to explore a common motif in these shows more deeply. Almost every single series in this multiverse had a clone/evil self episode. Now that common idea can have a purpose that’s explored with some depth through June 2.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA81GcdocRXw
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
