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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAUyD3YeWjfA
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAgWrS1ekR4C
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANANuRJgmLlxN
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAT5ewsrZbiy
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAres90raeN2
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAA93PWz5Erz
Unos smiles before answering.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAX2fSacVKgY
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAWnK92l138J
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAmsgrO7tRJl
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAM36pxKQTJl
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAAp82q1nUCt
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA6ewc5avjOp
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAQOoRkSn7WC
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANATgsPmKXHJM
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA0kzDl429qt
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAhN0DmB6hut
Danny: “June, wait!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAC1biGQVICH
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAJdvzQid5Bq
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAYh0p1L96wF
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANACMPXXz1ma3
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAEcQuDQWhBa
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA0t5Vze4Hoi
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
70Please respect copyright.PENANA43tfmn1lWQ
Danny: “Whoa!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAHYoqGT2m9h
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAbGNoWnjvus
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAxUepEFQMtU
Juniper: “Ready.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAB56eOL1wW1
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAKkJUrjYC8H
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAAIVsGVCIr5
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAJJ7hMKADuz
June: “GAAAH!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA7Gk116Npza
Danny: “June!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAC3C8WlhJUV
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
70Please respect copyright.PENANA3i2wCZLf5d
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAqwGTU7hd7U
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAV7hfpJoSl8
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAMD6HPgTyG8
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAjEvEFbECE9
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAHgLIFONRcy
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAdzBS0CrR2v
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAgJZjPRtN6Y
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAgspXL1cZOJ
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAmfZb5TO2r8
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANA7rVkIUsgME
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA52VXwOK8iN
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA2dsu6nT7Ka
Juniper: “I-”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAp8sWZAAKpa
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANArGCW9mTnJt
Juniper: “Huh?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA08Ybc5dy4e
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAiAI1H88CuO
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
70Please respect copyright.PENANACK6GQg75YD
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
70Please respect copyright.PENANATraY2Zql4X
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!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAeNVmgpmVfM
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAPDIxxQ779d
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAHv7yJvB7Wh
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANALHFoT9HvMd
Juniper: “Good idea.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAHxKWiBgsXX
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANADgSqdr9ux1
Juniper: “Yeah!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAAokhj3hbEu
Unos: “Nice try!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAkFgUcc9jIu
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAJMSctXmFh6
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANABoojAotDjS
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAxgeDbbtRbB
Juniper: “Plan C?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAo4yHxx0Qi6
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA840Aa6FUW2
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAe3eMYP7Ysf
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANARqRWvxBDjA
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAbfIykCHBZR
June: “GAAH!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAxlFiBJMZw0
Danny: “On no!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAnRWaszMh8P
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
70Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZHgKLsjkB
June: “Ugh, again!?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAZpxe7tnoiD
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?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA2k9Pm2KJF9
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAliakfbz6VS
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAYogwiB4xrZ
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANALaCuSaTmcF
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA2nzdvj4YkF
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAhbxbT5Uc1f
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA1DKeJ3BRRH
Juniper: “Hurry!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA9SDF9ZfWly
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAs71i6tC12g
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?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAsvPpPqEcGN
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAHZFKsj1dGK
Unos: “Tch.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAWc2ZlThwQG
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANADGFxcyg7Ii
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA0OcKN0QWHJ
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAXdkxFiPsBr
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAbmFAXYscMB
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAX4dNdo1Ymq
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAsiZ6vpTmvo
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAkSnCK2a2ZQ
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAgFJNIPcdrb
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAapTQdwMaWY
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAy8DkoSQ2m4
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAWPN92LGGgs
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAKXjurxISE2
70Please respect copyright.PENANAFxXdonpS0P
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAFhB9qTJ0AK
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANABHYHgSEx5v
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ax3NFX9Ks
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAs1YTeqgWZF
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
70Please respect copyright.PENANA149GWxteZa
Unos: “What are you-”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAikXhXGfuW7
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAnDlQzG3ynG
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAuezv4MwRNf
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAntibuNhPcp
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAOBVbNhrAwp
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?
70Please respect copyright.PENANAg4g3SRQ7dU
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
70Please respect copyright.PENANA8jp12ENN39
Juniper 2: “What the-”
70Please respect copyright.PENANANHEdVPElbH
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAch4J5oYqmm
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAQn8DVBLeMG
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAhbWhNZZcqx
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANA5vJmrg4Jks
Fear.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAUgrQPCYLvh
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANALN3TaMe5Hz
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
70Please respect copyright.PENANATFSduPWwYt
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAs4H5Z3xhMh
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAnIVO492mG9
Unos: “N-No!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAhc8AlRog6p
Juniper 2: “Now!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA8iijWjMNmR
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAuCQ2j0wCRp
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA1OFqh5F9ja
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANABKmU2ZH3yx
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAoPoAJ36abq
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAuseGNlAFv4
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAhwM72nqKa4
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAMXBMWZ08sP
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAY44tyhd4Aj
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAEIqRUuu0LT
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA6zuSpNWQG4
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAzFHaeoJKll
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAsVquvRVrAl
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANACFG9M1l7DC
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAHKqeV34DUY
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAp2BmHhY8NF
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAhwkKAxz6xe
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAmhd6to9FR6
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAIeE0n6vXfw
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAn6Auo1Vtfr
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAsxixsIs171
Juniper 1: “Who?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA8QEM1ms6Wz
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAS9FrKGrwtf
70Please respect copyright.PENANA6njuYzDSK9
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAXlT7qt25Zx
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANALxSMWMdNFy
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAmxHr0dMfsV
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAfdfKvrmBWA
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA6Icy1aG7Sq
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAZHeG8kMrNR
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANASa8ma8ETwU
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAU4X8nCBE2d
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAFd4dMB9IR9
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAKYFCW89TmX
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAaKnAf4oS1z
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANASAkA8RJBx2
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAh0ghh5BTcE
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAGMcP6eXWpV
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA5vH6A4TY59
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAI8WEeL3yad
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA9diFwBzwjt
Juniper 2: “Right.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANADwFptNEVnZ
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAseGjUFdiyR
70Please respect copyright.PENANAOEHJHzjqia
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA9h1OYdx42x
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAoBpgfNy2gB
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAQuo5OkRu5l
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAPg2MoImvax
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA5Tig0YixhV
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAFxSvZ45tHc
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
70Please respect copyright.PENANADZyhmM33L2
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAAweqZx3s6u
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAlN22QQtOvI
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAH8ONPVk7pJ
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAjJgdg73fFG
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAenmV0yaM3R
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAy6Nm1HMV0l
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA8XObLjFXMZ
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAlSXXaKFNQI
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAl8dT5uCApQ
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAXMR1YdDTd7
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAQ41KlBpkdj
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANABjuuJMwUq5
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAafnAzqeE28
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAFXmA7zZZpB
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAfCRUwqjCSJ
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAokqloKTs13
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAcwAlXYUDqY
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAhc33Brd4Do
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAaVipaJzYe9
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAoDDTOssgGs
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAD3b0bGQeGu
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAYEB5fqwLnY
Dos: “Great!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA9HQrsXiEQ1
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAEioipnV2dB
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAgNSb1tmDaE
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAy4UnCp7vkk
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAYor9o4t1T7
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
70Please respect copyright.PENANAZH5pS4Ac6Z
70Please respect copyright.PENANAZAnEbTa8EK
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAx0vS0hREvD
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAAR3vZSnALM
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANARU0J6ZSQ9U
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA0Qu7Ac7TLp
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAEmTG4uGiZw
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAtx368ymyMe
The Junes: “Later.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAZxCLlxX73w
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAWM7ySUVp7N
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAtFQQIJQGrP
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAO4zYedIg1W
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
70Please respect copyright.PENANAxCdryRGL9R
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAPnGrIe325L
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANABIgSwFCpXB
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”

Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAwQMZTeXp8q
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAi0TPreBmwU
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA31xKqjRGn9
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAVOcTS0lqwy
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAeQEZ36nncR
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANASxd8LaTcJO
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAC54NcPNEcq
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAlFzvKLoG4s
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAMvYDDthhdH
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANANc63SFOe55
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA02asDhAv0v
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAxvkcqmexLU
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAYMe9YrMpim
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3cyNag8uR
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAF8S5mWJ77m
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAqlcSdCwMyV
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA0ewMmABkDa
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANARkZeiCsC7H
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAYgqIA9Mhbl
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA9xfM0hdwE8
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAOrKGjRRLxx
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANACpqkkZR6EY
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAMW7d0OE2fA
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAB2vP2C6TNp
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAJhF11S8PeL
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAsFVcrmk681
70Please respect copyright.PENANAiymvIF7VGT
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAcZhrhGkyqE
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAM69x5d4iJB
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAjDm9XCPzit
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAQhl6B0MXJt
Unos: “Untie me!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAfQRMhSzp62
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAwJzj4Yu2sM
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAPY2H6CmzC9
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAMnUkZaKSVJ
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAEX6tBPR9wW
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAXxsrCFwrh6
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA6iuUa53a0p
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAWT3FhZhLsx
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAZwadiZWs1d
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAStMSJ0uz6c
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAoZOO0sFIRN
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAtVfhykAb1P
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAH95TZz53QV
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAI2q3Jxam2x
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAuFVjgRRV9m
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAs9uxuQ0uAb
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA1TCv5rNTvK
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAObevajt6ze
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ5OpD2hqz
Unos: “… Never.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAXlLAzg56aJ
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANATWeVWL0CQS
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAo97BNRZieQ
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAUY3Te1y9lK
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAFnZrxcTTTY
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAIYmyo79Tlo
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAozd8gaR1yY
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA46nN985Kt0
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA3uZYzhGflR
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA8Kg9KyvC1X
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANACKlsZpGsQo
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA8nJJpOjYdX
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?
70Please respect copyright.PENANAU9tvbuMefy
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAQEpmy1m778
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAJPtLe4qBwG
Dos: “Same.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANATZhXuZMleF
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAs1byWbriD1
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAy3FgDlplBc
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA4qsGn3QlgB
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANATWmB3V0meO
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAwfiwZ59iKy
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAtBgtB9K7LI
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAFxECW59Uki
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAIqaRJ9NNgA
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAiHUTc9UP0o
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAVTW8YClFBC
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANADgV8zJaDPQ
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAgEEPA5BqRy
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAUFk8JuaFXz
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAdVP3P2faj3
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAJSNnMevyIU
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANASdONYd6t5v
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAxMqUgYw5Vv
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAapQtXcytIS
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANALOHQmg41S5
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAO49eRSTl5P
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA1FN9hM7hnG
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
70Please respect copyright.PENANAqxhr76fCet
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA2TsWPgYal3
“Yeah!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA97yntyfD5Z
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANA7KtMd4Xuyh
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAqBdpdf8NA9
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAExzgtfI6ED
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAs1UW4eRUum
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAUQAbecDWai
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA4vMw2979WG
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA61CKgbvA2P
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA5BQWJvNeQu
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
70Please respect copyright.PENANArrhnti6cu5
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAo7i1QnP458
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAjfrNMFcWFv
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA8J40htfUd0
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA6SPy8QLilH
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
70Please respect copyright.PENANACe9f3Avw74
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA30LDmSxIf8
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
70Please respect copyright.PENANA9DHAUWWEqY
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA2AKufw80PM
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
70Please respect copyright.PENANALvzsmssW9i
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
70Please respect copyright.PENANALWpAxeVsml
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAYUpRISlyAh
Juniper 2: “What?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA8b1lIP5eQV
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAKth9dhZlP1
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA2cfTzerjqb
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?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANARttDNE4p6Z
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANASQsSKrZOH7
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAzVWAD5K8FJ
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAwwwsNKpFMB
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAvoYR7RRcjj
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAiC4Pkm3ZoI
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
70Please respect copyright.PENANACTDmbMhUxo
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAiVsn5Nvf9c
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAIjlJJeJKyK
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAkFcmRpOZRg
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAnO6zpLcKj9
70Please respect copyright.PENANA1UUIqEGnZF
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAmp0S2cJwcg
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA98Hj8aIm12
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAfODYWI3Djw
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAwjudNOFtIK
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAuqgwgSh27a
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAFS7rnfrnO2
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAVIgoaSARu3
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAbNersi0G2l
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAVBv9UtUJSE
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANADUFgvJjyzW
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAAAMNRlnLSP
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA5kKMaS6L3k
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAYuSgdrKm8C
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAlyJSPN1erQ
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAF4Z9E0V2aE
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANABQVeW8iaD1
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAgebk4CBvMA
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANASblvFqluHz
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAbOXFINH19N
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANASe76TCgqYw
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAlee7Z5QNtm
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAiI1qWs6UwW
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?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAwU3EoG39IW
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAZmZrTSonlw
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAE60EABT8Hm
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA4hcMdFw7PB
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAs52WOQuZqL
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAYKFK0UKHyY
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAEzUhrUxzlb
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAXqKICqSVdY
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA7xBcPkxR0F
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAW8rtb6vbZx
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAKZtyO8n0Br
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAlyFpH5ytsJ
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
70Please respect copyright.PENANA1fKIQBvUpI
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAjsMaLmHLBK
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAK7rpRNNTh2
Juniper 2: “No way…”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAK6KOsxwFyP
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?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA3gVTvaYP69
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAHEq3oC6vyZ
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAfopNAbHqa0
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAR4NMGtRqIs
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAHuRbQ2iKop
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA3RHxkIV627
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAAlog8zHD78
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAWuFTGwumNf
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAzT0c4gXQTP
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAbiViIqqE5q
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAFIK0BkZWSt
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAo5pdEfMikW
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAR4WkVkXR92
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAshSZcpMth7
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAqV6fb8uOL1
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAqWsC5zJNRT
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAxjWHZ0QTpu
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAOojNZhiZHc
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAtp5lPmyDCM
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAKtroR4BQu3
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAs8MXlR62Xh
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAQMWFoi3hzK
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAFFrB8jkeCa
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAza7cEnz3zH
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANATvZLPQC5hH
Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAdHEy0M9UDf
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAtckumBoqwt
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAwaA7Sqsckz
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAv3fGgxcHqa
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA6qoXlRxBMp
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA2U8bX11Sl9
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAD06h7o8Nro
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANALsow67HCnl
She says as she pats his head.
70Please respect copyright.PENANA9sDfWVPaZl
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAFs6ULwfZwd
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANArXadbxmQQP
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANANfXa9TN3yf
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANABtLigJX8Fv
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAx2IvA5ccEz
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ9ODCGTlZ
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAI88lAG676J
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAgQEEfqeaO6
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.

As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAVguPIji6qF
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAoDBgvUUEKz
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAPPM1tIJoNs
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAdiF5U5tQhk
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANA6IEuvG6vnc
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAioGOCv6LD7
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAl6HhCTkVFM
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAAYPFxp0zW8
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!?
70Please respect copyright.PENANAKwUcyCoqgl
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANANYzWbyhuI7
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANA2T6IR14JJz
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAoc9snwGQa2
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAw837kxmAdA
She had no friends here.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAZcfcKthTFb
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
70Please respect copyright.PENANALINzVSQbXw
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAH3XreUqtcJ
She was… alone.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAWZumiewgii
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANA03lDyYVx7i
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
70Please respect copyright.PENANASgBmm6axQU
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAtCyLpDH91Y
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
70Please respect copyright.PENANAvSzxhB0Ok1
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANARTGWxH6Us9
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAFJ6CGSG1NO
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANA0uVOnAb2ok
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAnTfebvihWO
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAsxMKeI0eYZ
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.”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAq1ZuFnKfmY
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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAAYKA14P1x9
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAYLZ7zooATr
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
70Please respect copyright.PENANAzJh6teHAvz
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.

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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAX3UbBtdxfQ
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
70Please respect copyright.PENANAZcFAVPtf94
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAfoDR5xFNbR
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAnJStPPfL52
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAm3muxbiveg
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAoWTv6joP0t
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
70Please respect copyright.PENANAV43XYoiv8o
- 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.
70Please respect copyright.PENANArDhsyOmZvH
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
