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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqaED4pZbgN
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5F9gY0Iv2Z
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtMVeCmVCvZ
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANApTGGUxDcGB
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAI0zEcTAkg8
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFoDY3cFRP5
Unos smiles before answering.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnvqpSDNhjd
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAVDECkQgFz1
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEjxB36OPfV
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
170Please respect copyright.PENANANwqixa73gw
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANALZRLLuyCNC
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOACcmqIpPR
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAlORrY3ADr
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4ap1IH210l
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANApa7bwZoSW4
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA0FmWklAqZN
Danny: “June, wait!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA53LXLDi1iY
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA0m1zJBUkTO
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGv6RCOCxfi
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsAzmzpSL5P
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsAdDKXPEtS
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANASTM4ugop0s
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
170Please respect copyright.PENANApA4uyjQNc1
Danny: “Whoa!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANANlM1tAnbvD
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1X78IVp48
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6k6JOBBjoE
Juniper: “Ready.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvPMveHdEq6
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAP59CrYzIdM
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA289CXGAMGz
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
170Please respect copyright.PENANApLOY1XfNB4
June: “GAAAH!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGHHQBfT74Z
Danny: “June!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATIcuvMWqM2
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA0SfQNGoP7L
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZtn4yrTOGU
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAa74MS4WZV9
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGjbeaN7y5P
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoJbpQImTKU
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArxqAtFCHxg
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABMthrbPZWg
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
170Please respect copyright.PENANASkRUOHsXlt
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPzZznz7LJ6
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAl1HAXomDPi
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdUgt65uPJA
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHcq26abY8I
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoWxSmpg5ho
Juniper: “I-”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArgNlw62z9F
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvegxJWJU9q
Juniper: “Huh?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3Lv2Ssu6Q
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFTayPX1mN3
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
170Please respect copyright.PENANALVyi6F0IDl
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4gm60HdTID
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!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFZHBMwREum
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkCTXKjHytM
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKNREYx4WQA
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAP2gcvl5Lo2
Juniper: “Good idea.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFkKAWvMYiq
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA47ssvMrJ6O
Juniper: “Yeah!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHSoU9cAHmy
Unos: “Nice try!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAV4Wh2O5hMg
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAB30h1GhA6P
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGx76xc3XMx
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnaELx8EDHv
Juniper: “Plan C?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvFnZX4zP5c
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7sOOVY2kgQ
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANADCeeXNlSQa
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATTbcApqtzm
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxf1vM8hMl2
June: “GAAH!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAp8fuv9cxOl
Danny: “On no!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArMOq4kzLod
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgGfQSOXOpz
June: “Ugh, again!?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA0O714U2Hmq
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?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMdsCGIx8h7
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAA95DcgrQ8m
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8HVQv3cLfE
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOoTufgAoa6
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqrR6YJjRvo
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3tLEAX8q6q
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwrQ4FEsp3m
Juniper: “Hurry!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKGxT67Cntb
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
170Please respect copyright.PENANApbTLkGlE48
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?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANANAlX1Sbpeh
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAyrNyD7lK4X
Unos: “Tch.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANARLS3KRnvp3
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4Rz2FfTOzn
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKGxDYuyxT8
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfD7UpGw8yV
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANABZFWgru8Kt
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA76qa10SvOV
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABonIDbsRYc
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5jwjLvuNX7
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsyqc8tiZM2
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAyI6xxoqrAs
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAVvHFZzO8eC
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9nBUyCGVwE
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABLsVBNaCQO
170Please respect copyright.PENANABCAlpqgTdH
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzMGaLWfSaj
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAImIAZ2hdIl
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAW5DmL3WUcF
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAI3AAojODSk
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzj8xFOnCcY
Unos: “What are you-”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgHJqGj525H
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQe2hffFNpu
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA647a3kLGEQ
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOPBPzyvSQz
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAX0IGRtD0zJ
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?
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGpqfnyEmHK
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqsLVb6PhbN
Juniper 2: “What the-”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaEGzox3ulv
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgdfn6flPur
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANACBy8CHeiWz
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKoz8ZFt0Dm
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoKKi4IwW6z
Fear.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAuf4te5ldvt
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7uNehGj4mA
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgdx30Hj75R
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANACrct7CaQU7
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAakHxeEt1wY
Unos: “N-No!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcspzdkWPUY
Juniper 2: “Now!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADocXLSYRkq
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9J6BXoXHls
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPjpW6EKbmY
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJnIzEzb5a8
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAR9jdfD3Sv0
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1cIfq2KgGC
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAknU0xxgQcJ
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGNkNMtlqXB
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKx8vQnLmwr
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoRD8MAXQHW
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA85XZjRE913
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmBmVCSJ5Gz
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
170Please respect copyright.PENANASqUhaTFykb
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbFJ0xp1etU
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA31MEbXgbFp
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAagLJbjtEBi
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAuQI1skOtZ
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkM3Uz2eD9r
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvY2fukIiUN
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdSEQxk4THR
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA0xNbFC3ILS
Juniper 1: “Who?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAO2etzUJjXT
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAymrdFaHdrd
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMF36WjFt0q
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ub2L1nlG3
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAr0RSRiq3kX
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANANtxdQgDPSI
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFA3mMHgVU6
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhWJwF1SpMD
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcS5H5KVqtl
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJkTotYOvy7
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQNpM7G9UAp
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMKzu72ktTa
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATEqJosP24P
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzH5EjgOLEv
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABhAW6gwCEq
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADiTDiiyD3D
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA38xHj31asU
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmW3ibFFFC8
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxACkByLL8Z
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzGKKlhZaMS
Juniper 2: “Right.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFxWS8wiIRz
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
170Please respect copyright.PENANADWT2MSq2b5
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHq3NJDaI3C
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYpwVV0HtZO
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiMF5UskaGC
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkRaLIiXVUQ
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzzPJyGiSZa
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcDK24Guc4o
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlr8KQBDwtU
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkWaYlTCIyC
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8AGBzX2z0J
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAABNRa9HtW0
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaZJN110RrU
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPYlLv8OZN1
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6aSjTpghBA
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2hjQtZQwxL
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAa4Vn9EwMrm
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfDMw9EPEw8
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAISqdOegI0a
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA0nohsvXCQO
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZCY14qiFnN
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANALs6R9QaRFz
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1q8IddmYgb
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArG7yV2Qasm
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXSYrQL0BlY
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUKKs8BYsIm
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXGdGanK2u4
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANASimwkUtPun
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1GYXJmTDRl
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgZOiDZWnay
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8WlcKyn1XM
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANANgUIlRWyem
Dos: “Great!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAH1G5GDl8Nu
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZRgfMyDkbG
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAF4YluOUS5N
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFa8qqOzLjY
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAeL3J58ymko
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4ad75GYY5s
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaYd0TQP4I6
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIt6iq0W5nD
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkUWIoEVLdA
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8tZtDRClJq
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmScxcliBH9
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnlsAP7TlR1
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArHzSYSgVzO
The Junes: “Later.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlN2Iy6XYpe
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
170Please respect copyright.PENANADDyTtsnVUw
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”

The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
170Please respect copyright.PENANANCekjttUL9
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
170Please respect copyright.PENANAeyvITRBb1D
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAH2jBY8n6Ce
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfITxOgqxL1
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7wEY0Rp93S
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3jAGuSSIZx
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnEjzwUcQpg
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqgA0WV6Qjk
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMPikJ7tKs5
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAV0lUyTZiBC
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQvzYqJcBFf
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAESs9pZLZFN
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA79r8Q4MA7c
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABljnLddnSM
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA350nX4rbvr
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgh0SuFKdda
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANApwVFeCeTm4
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANANf6TZM7Ug7
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAADPeb0UJeu
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAH5ZcuG3Dtj
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfNoTbDE79e
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAZpn0uDpJK
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANALtoKuHxStv
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkPS2zkij9l
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxN36cMonNt
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXgvqiP2Vy6
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvLCe0T3lf5
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATarxBlCrKf
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIHamvmrjkU
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsVhsikL3GP
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGp054o1kBs
170Please respect copyright.PENANARPfxXFiewr
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoCXyvT2RQa
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZSNE12WLDp
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfUxzETGWQU
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
170Please respect copyright.PENANADPXexdzqgj
Unos: “Untie me!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAujvHRfX9JI
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8wBD4TKnub
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANARDsxRIPewf
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1fi1W43lud
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAElSrGFgFzD
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmGq5xke6dZ
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2aodfsYtXq
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABT9PI7J2O6
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAVNKnXZksHK
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANARXETfZtIb0
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqKjcibzboa
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8p6ywYqA1
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAS9li9yhAn9
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6xOkm9GYTL
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2EsM6P6tbP
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOGYq9X738A
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANApwgjOcntIV
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANArTtAlBoons
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3KbnNF4V7Q
Unos: “… Never.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnRJ3gMqE3E
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAonJtXP4EIJ
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAq2MBmRX3wb
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxDtCV0XMNL
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAm4X1yh7WWl
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAz9RO0VTW96
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGDRkoQxP2z
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPECzTy8UzJ
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADUKiN5EQwr
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwOImDscpzz
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMMCspkJ0lX
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANALq69MjwqsK
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?
170Please respect copyright.PENANAf7n7NculH7
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2xKphp1jju
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAInt5ezXdiI
Dos: “Same.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA784JJdeTPC
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwUvTmCxR3f
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHjBLNNRW2P
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1w7Gnb7sOU
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4SjYajjAwG
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATBlXHNnxOT
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZVDnckER3f
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9BZtZ7dIvx
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMv9wCjpaDM
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAz47FdWw3BC
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEvbQCwfyMt
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANANv4wiOWoBx
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAVGaRfpXwfy
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhk5tLe78XS
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMM0vvcJ8BM
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMJVM9YTO93
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEOKvd6Otat
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA08iQPZrnx3
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2M0iDwVvc
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA0KjuMBLFsk
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbp1Yj9xDwZ
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdw7CUfreBI
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJIbDZnmski
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ09avdwQS
“Yeah!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1JvULS9WFV
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfFEcgngYmz
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1sUAvRLjVK
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA782BbW7ZJz
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4TkfU0cXMw
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYOzThbbOC8
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwo1x5QMkk3
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANALhpv1YBCZr
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAo8Prj3xqpr
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2KA6HZ0YW6
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAI0OqBvkYWn
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANApAu9GbWhmc
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAB7A7yVPXs9
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWxhUcXziKr
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA04nv9PX69D
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkIA064j4aa
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
170Please respect copyright.PENANADyYoyhGZAN
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAirTGMMhzWr
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAk4AoM0nSKk
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
170Please respect copyright.PENANASGmWTiwLzV
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9adcr2YFYt
Juniper 2: “What?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGRTvhgBnmy
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANApsR2pXn2rn
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA75o1wzg1C1
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?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvBMhiLRcWt
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABLehEWuvrz
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAe7p7Z9xDPX
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8NH9oWJV4g
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPursNf3ce6
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaG9v9YJVNQ
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAW6zoZCVhlv
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANADwiCOOi79t
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUci2VkvwJv
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANApXVvNenKAT
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANACtJg1UbEYK
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKpUk7yq8lI
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANApE9lXXLoUN
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAeeCBuYSLhi
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAByFcBvuohZ
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAS4EZHn1BoT
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABKK85wsSQs
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANACeHeaJQFrh
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUUUHEbK1cI
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAalX9sdEI6o
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4vGHDeQHS8
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZdfRxHHJQ
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA264f8jBavX
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ5ekeOQ6u
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtJZcM1yP7a
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaQWila2ni4
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3FCI7LL0Lp
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQpebK2i6nc
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAyYnqH5besa
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANATARN7PD6Bp
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGTeKhrLTT2
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA0NOvXPHIye
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1JguHUDDRZ
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ5a9J1f7q
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?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtDxIOLSp39
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANARnC1fJRMWZ
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdeMoZzvd0A
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIU4hvTaRpJ
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAR97Rbi2LlK
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5w0IHiRzWW
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtMoZ4q0Bpb
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9lXMTFw64I
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZ90MGshbDP
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdLELSJU0PS
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXoA59wCEYy
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiWtBETXWnW
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkjqK8pzaba
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHBcGKDMcuO
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKfnjZmIBI7
Juniper 2: “No way…”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAU2QLcJcIlp
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?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtoAsRzukDA
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5Qty6IeW5j
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwsPq5rYHGi
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXP2rAsDE51
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdNI3iXSwoT
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOthiIWgoiC
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdP90EnaxLo
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkWLhlICeQC
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfU8mvTvO3M
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y1I4oYVTz
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAY4wu5MSK5D
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAVix8Gdt2jX
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAmxBgVbgfQ
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUWhNymIHSf
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANASm1c3FqYI0
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANASQJewh7OrV
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4SND2qAFqr
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhPI5Tc3SF7
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8xjaHBOP7Q
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAd9jqvQY2Sm
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8PecbH5LLg
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1X3viOi76x
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKw2ZnzlrTV
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6NQ5C0FuCi
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhMJXn1Kmas
Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4JrmF3MM4q
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoKT5yyH9fr
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGFJbbyARV8
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9Vm0q0Cb3
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFC1TGAVL8e
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoDMiw7Ez0K
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAE2gUtsfkmW
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUm3u1qpSvw
She says as she pats his head.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPGjMBQESqf
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANABw7pn50iLh
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8wGrCCDhyt
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJBkC3ruVKA
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKyv61D7QeD
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqjaVXfE3BX
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQps4996tAc
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtgnJcATZgd
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKPswVHE5hl
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhiIlek2V8G
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxIcX01aqOw
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA0YQ9gR53tC
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ9kD7tOsB
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiEdogBzfnK
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANABPno3BsdWA
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7dK9lHJ6bq
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAjNkcg6K3W8
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAUiRT08MgL
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!?
170Please respect copyright.PENANALrwQeT9FSU
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOUMYrVXnj8
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1x1u6YffP
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7wp8M8bFO7
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzZychsK9BJ
She had no friends here.
170Please respect copyright.PENANACmwlkR5Lya
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9qdEKmYkQ7
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
170Please respect copyright.PENANADZobOPqyuo
She was… alone.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAO1Fsrkq9rc
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2tvxskXAUU
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
170Please respect copyright.PENANACuduZe3De4
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnbQiQo2gJp
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
170Please respect copyright.PENANArqAj49IsEh
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAA6HAYIxaPc
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAn0hU2kKGcQ
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmXtms42u0R
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
170Please respect copyright.PENANARvuOM5ivIP
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA75WfbQc6Ot
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.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAgvnZ4mXhZC
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXKfYxqFabi
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMtBmjFGKwt
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaqLcYfFwxq
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.
170Please respect copyright.PENANALc6tqg9jZd

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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlw5Qw6e8Zu
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
170Please respect copyright.PENANAS3jL47SHoD
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAA2sW3tukjC
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlRmdbDda7a
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4PHnag82qp
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzr3v9rqx2z
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5z7rFCP3mS
- 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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3CvJxtuK6j
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
