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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKYPlJF3R5d
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANABk8o1xVgL2
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYeW7vwlE26
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFRJkjmUj3d
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAV5Eg5uaNZT
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANApzX1z9WY2a
Unos smiles before answering.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0VLKzo2Bz1
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0XqyYUgv30
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7OZQ7pwQrM
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8pVSxZh81P
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAIaqVBNwnLG
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAN4ADoSzCJX
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANASsYuV38VBO
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAf7K1cOYhbx
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxXh7wU0aEZ
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
111Please respect copyright.PENANALcypSbZfNp
Danny: “June, wait!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAWi3RtQJEiA
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbgFFAnFhZp
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAj5yx8q5YDd
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAknNHRuhWzX
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANArwxyC4OSpp
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4xTDNQTCgL
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPAMFN3vFhD
Danny: “Whoa!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7zH6C058Va
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAIQirlzHDBi
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdy1R6Ekoe1
Juniper: “Ready.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ0sZvLPNK
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxZu3Wmt7n5
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZv4HHgfPkA
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJksm788tCI
June: “GAAAH!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoBs3YaFo7s
Danny: “June!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANARMNgiBQce2
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
111Please respect copyright.PENANApK0AD95RsM
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhB1RiPZyvj
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
111Please respect copyright.PENANASXsPPrAfi4
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJwfCvPUnAm
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhF77P4UOof
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqkEjvSVmBz
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANANSRMdVavsr
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
111Please respect copyright.PENANANJrqqkOGBt
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVYxqeqPAfM
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAaKwFLM6kpc
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvflQMAgOy9
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAcuarxBoTjc
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABlrXrHwf5d
Juniper: “I-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANACYiUybyhOR
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOktUdAMoTX
Juniper: “Huh?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjq2UXyJvmm
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAb0OXUseGc7
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAaBBA3pDoL7
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKzrXHyNWVG
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!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtsUEpdFSsD
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXWgdolQazh
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAypDZYV3bwX
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANApcvSqFeJ9N
Juniper: “Good idea.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvESy2MKc0D
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZlMtpxurMQ
Juniper: “Yeah!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6LAXszcGGT
Unos: “Nice try!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0qYuM9ablb
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
111Please respect copyright.PENANASxrXWUQ6Fx
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAm98HKNlOJo
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhKGeEZOjHi
Juniper: “Plan C?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuw2LEgSTBj
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAShrg2oQNxu
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdLPFl9Ai1k
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAaCXRGZxttZ
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAAQEa6S7Cpn
June: “GAAH!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAScJxEAP4G6
Danny: “On no!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZsvUpOccda
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1yUwZqnDNU
June: “Ugh, again!?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1r3caAalRq
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?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8h4HBUsxZZ
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzO0MVvFNNv
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJhVmbThLRd
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAT5Q9vAjnUC
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4MUBEiOfis
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdRcxL9eiGI
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXl3HBLdHXz
Juniper: “Hurry!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjIygX5abX3
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsjDuZQxu0u
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?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAkcobupEz4o
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoZsv6T7uMF
Unos: “Tch.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAol5CKEIZIU
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAlCafkNIt6k
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANADwl81S7jHT
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANASFvOoK6StP
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3KbVq0WLtQ
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAHVcjQsWygF
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUWXlrdOOmm
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAeQrvZhY7m7
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQginudX4AA
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANANGDYX9MZxM
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANANemooEeN1y
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAs8q4oSsHoX
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANADCDw1M4u7r
111Please respect copyright.PENANAquKdmxaeJO
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGx8CfRP0lR
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABZuH7vgaax
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAWgNVb8U44y
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAozs7X0yt77
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAI2zniHE00G
Unos: “What are you-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAERUbJUTjo1
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAl0Yg0BqX9E
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXoPanHwOrN
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvOyzWHw0qh
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMRATk7fR2V
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?
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfdGEZEMDOJ
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA67iXzSE0Zb
Juniper 2: “What the-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPYO65Wuu0H
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABeqAe102A1
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGxpGurbln1
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAp32fl5W3MR
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVMpYZJr9JF
Fear.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdHEWp0GuRb
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvTRNvc35ZR
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYdy74Of7LU
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAehHeCxkEeq
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
111Please respect copyright.PENANANuaxdTACVr
Unos: “N-No!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZ337F2xFNI
Juniper 2: “Now!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtiBXxN6WfC
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
111Please respect copyright.PENANABdOOFnskIA
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANARuuZUq5aEg
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAA2gdVixNJm
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGd1uEKs47B
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzDXHZX1IbZ
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANANqnO4AjRT1
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
111Please respect copyright.PENANANfNreWpnfz
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANApO4COnQlhZ
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVDBd086UMF
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAR5Mo1LQ5nc
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtPehZWaBNe
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfXudfVrC7Q
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJVL11tZOXs
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
111Please respect copyright.PENANALWcNQmamhx
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAthxvHa84u5
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAkV18wJibLp
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwm9q5Kmwpg
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYvzuff5OXH
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtSTlse4zKx
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsUIZuZSuJ0
Juniper 1: “Who?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnfbcmKhCJ3
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9NdTK6IBTr
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8aEtfWXtYU
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEmBkAMSuzp
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAzGxRIZDHXf
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmRK2qylEd0
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABUHEllqVww
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUCFutSowtH
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbqK0DHaDEb
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAa5H6YLqTcD
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsr3Tez4xKr
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAY3y8x3s7DY
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAY5aMEshJWN
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAlogHTmu98y
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAIxkytUJimn
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAB2eflCjjCy
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAN9rDGOBDoo
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAcg1zBkiHNW
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvUdFh7KmHy
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAidvDnmT9x6
Juniper 2: “Right.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANArDPBUneOVy
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4irKIs4wE
111Please respect copyright.PENANAt5eF94ofTN
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAI4SAz0oYBx
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwkNB4B9W9f
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuNZfLgUHOq
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1G07VpEJV2
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6SW4rNYQEm
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAz9NamDvdAL
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvnetl4TS4c
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANASO4exRYoxt
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAr6ml3462xj
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXc5AMPEusr
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOhQnpIWTsO
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAb7KmDjh2gL
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAT3e7Zb5LNF
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAphhaSkYLOU
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwlMklRbTgR
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANARQINZLS67m
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABYudPp6GG5
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANALoy5IxKeI0
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAO42Lg2lNf4
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAKqjigxqB3p
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAp99UViFzbL
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAiy8Xwem4U1
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAd2BE0LDBoS
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA83CKhbb6g6
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3P5F0XLMN7
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAf8nzGK2mC3
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZpSdw5w4GB
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOtv1tqp9nQ
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUaYyLoSaSv
Dos: “Great!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAeU0q9zoAHM
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqwVSwqelwd
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUKJyoPRtE5
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOiQNL300Yy
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMy1LkAlOAg
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1iG5Cr0U5v
111Please respect copyright.PENANAAJzUMTCLrA
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJPgRo6J4NQ
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYtZ63YRwCO
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAAYbYaC2Jww
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAkMNOlcS2Ol
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJRRfxpGNoB
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAlHVBe1hcFH
The Junes: “Later.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfA3gffKu5z
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA2ayLxvypu7
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOgs85RKT2N
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYddG9sFAxa
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3eLC2Ee1eU
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABI2SydMl9A
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAz3ZgepaW2S
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAt6oBCrQ36d
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6FYana7G7i
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA2qxBeCjLaW
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAgXkM7UtIWL
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfKvUDOhrkV
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAWCTSEDbLUZ
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4mDe78uqz8
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAHX6YQvvqP4
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnnM1zbqDs6
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAeCVlZ4LAc3
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0pQugYqunX
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEWkZ9w3JTD
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUkA1OIJeyG
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA05KSUK3W6K
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA2ywFJSdzap
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANACrjrml3eXD
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdroKfKoGRn
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4QZAYWAup3
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAE5dHZFs1eX
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAu11PRrK7Dv
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA1JwmrHN1vG
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5T5Mu5hxZz
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4R8d51xQfx
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAiBcq0J8Shx
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANADCbM2ma8Hh
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYh6k22dPop
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9D6k1jaFJY
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANApkHm4oLjfI
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAGpWH8hIo0A
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4VvZNcXXAe
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
111Please respect copyright.PENANASZjpvbJEgy
Unos: “Untie me!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwag174Xhti
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZnQveLS3mO
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9MRySsnGfu
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmOt9KALf0W
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABJq6XRNVEe
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA9flHn9ys8i
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMYOWlhGE8n
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAW1nDFFcQ6H
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAh8PNIrflFm
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAN8ClwrlR8T
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMsUO15klCH
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAY5rzWlRwh9
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANANVOgIZovJy
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvmuu223BUd
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuI2wTBmKaS
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7SWWFJvkgH
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZXxTQq3VPo
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmTZj6ptwr1
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsRiBpYUx2H
Unos: “… Never.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAo8i17PSVky
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA45C9nzKsfa
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUUBBgtcXxL
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAG1FinYnBuP
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAalGUIXEZsr
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2015fOfjk
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUczJwoOrow
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhv6tELs3iH
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAW4Bb7R4LjN
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfh6gniQrmd
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA94tEwuH8be
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANALClUKs6ctd
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?
111Please respect copyright.PENANAttnzKP7NAV
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnKHIT4rihy
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAXXLfzzSE0r
Dos: “Same.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4vz7BNBs95
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5R8sw2j4P2
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmIxlq4yNGJ
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbkEaNmwqqH
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAWzDMjXIqAY
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA66lb6Sjdek
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAj5x6iIdniz
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAyv6cYmkc1Q
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANANsx23jVhIn
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAC9d1ZjbwqR
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAi1JRyukdrg
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8U2RJEvmJ5
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA56B27m5DS2
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAV012OgXz2Q
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFPB1jxHrcG
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmLw50ZWlj3
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjGJwJbDzEU
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAt1YOnzQ2Ls
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAD24JfUc6qT
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8L7p9U5O5t
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6xEXowcF4v
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAe2h4Vh2nST
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
111Please respect copyright.PENANALpfcfZU2RX
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMCr98mw3Yn
“Yeah!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANALfPKXignd1
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAeFlvkKbtpQ
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAItYYB37CaK
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMtPbXBIuOU
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJky79Vi4Ao
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFG0zueqv2j
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4Q03ivgHYD
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAaobssghcHV
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqbBxk8enJ3
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAow8SkUxcJr
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAedYTyfJeqv
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAHuHoM8rjBN
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoGeZQMgybL
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA2AQrnjX0p9
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
111Please respect copyright.PENANATa0zvlmTRU
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEtCIq5kZUT
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAvZIerSk6XL
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAoWF7pSt8wO
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPRvFiCaW6f
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsZWS25gmru
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAst0x0qF1yr
Juniper 2: “What?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA6eFpBXBK5q
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxtSS4HrxX2
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJl7xJtr71w
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?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANACKDpJyY3fx
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMTLzp4uBvK
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfDT5oYdk2p
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0kojgHNcA7
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANALv3mNnXwRU
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOAH4fY6AKm
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfMMDLX7pkM
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbYUAU1kQPZ
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANABVYaCfLTQo
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnJQymxk8UL
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMhG2CnSyfs
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPhKKIAopGv
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAO9CMDMc1WO
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAVNuoflAZwe
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfrlCSjFLyw
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOgdo6hAW0L
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5njTRcBi8V
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8QesnLk0Av
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAIy2D7bv5bK
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAWAU2dY6ZfH
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ5KoN8KqF
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfYqW7NWEkq
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3rF3wTjlIr
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjrPln5EDae
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwaOK0905Ao
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOqwU5bsI4G
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAt6fLehzYNt
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfxZbwxTShy
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA4EL6ZrqQMj
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA53p2jaSTM1
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEqX4hV81AN
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAH4wk7N9Dus
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAikzVowa1AC
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAExKOKzSu5f
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?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFUBCiQ6I1Z
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3H84xL0iCl
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAG9zUYfpnWk
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAhhKqoz95M6
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAszQUkwKgBJ
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmXWZvpItGu
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAJgyn0lTgl5
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA95vHfdDLpn
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtgcJfVR4lU
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAS7q3V2zCgv
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAgTQQirShPS
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFbbiQT7THf
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwvvAdHBisH
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAMORPDNTRCK
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAr69a4c1r0t
Juniper 2: “No way…”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFcRlV5j0qA
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?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAC8QpiKkHaU
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANArJsQaQLj2m
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAz8DYmLdWIT
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8rRZRPtHZy
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAr2LgPSV4bb
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFiJcc14AHg
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA8DQlE7qhBZ
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANADulFYN31yn
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA39PnpLW7OB
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUn3dcZ2Iqu
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAfsxGqeBu3g
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA2PbEj9Vvxu
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAd4MhkwVdpV
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAAMXYEjkTlw
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAn6loa2Qz7S
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7ceYik1ENr
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAWsAXeVfNFn
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAgGlKj0lweN
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAapJaRfO3CS
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA22QPLW783H
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANATH1nziRSpS
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwcBIXGvvi0
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAu08LKszRYQ
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAceHYrSed7w
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.

Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUttF9UnMCB
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxLp22k1Um3
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAHFcJBBou8y
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kqv4DluWz
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAkftdDOhm9O
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANARgq7mDt4WE
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3eemnUxOKI
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA33NH0Q3LIc
She says as she pats his head.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwU5SLN2EnK
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPZmdtiN9Pf
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtoaayrxU22
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOncd1IuB3R
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3reIxwKgaj
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAxrOpdIuJZy
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAFWJ5KAwXou
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAS0dO7NvEpU
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANARQ6T12wdrG
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnziNan79vU
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA5lBgoF8Fs1
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA0KlNYsXJae
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAqfdyVCzQnS
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAOqXw9oQcMD
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAdQYAyW3oOh
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAwIMvXYpdBH
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAmsDL7iPzqp
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANA551Qc29lqy
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!?
111Please respect copyright.PENANAlX1q2DOBUi
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAk2tBYnApmm
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAWJYBjj31h4
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
111Please respect copyright.PENANArcPu8pvSHK
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAjWg7L9YS2V
She had no friends here.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAd9NiNDnGOE
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAa4dCLz6eBH
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
111Please respect copyright.PENANABSmpUfVCoB
She was… alone.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAErKNKsQh7s
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAEmYKNtIncI
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
111Please respect copyright.PENANA33GychBAOn
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA7lCYE43g3i
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
111Please respect copyright.PENANAntM3dsSaP0
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANABXs7DTWoCp
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAI5dlyebk95
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAbZfyQtWvFc
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAnAoD4nOKBM
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtipyHHXywS
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.”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAUzQqH7kitA
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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAZAfAz5csZa
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAM2HYQ2cbpa
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
111Please respect copyright.PENANAsYH7AMSb8j
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAtXBkkZYYGI

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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAf3bUbXfyHn
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
111Please respect copyright.PENANAYZvnuLDr9t
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAaikBDtA31E
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
111Please respect copyright.PENANA3jpljxIQrv
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAQnJiFtdM7r
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAPlpQZKP7oz
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAeYpMkUMZU8
- 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.
111Please respect copyright.PENANAuKxl2P6QAw
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
