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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgOc3PdL5D
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhCmmg3vZg
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8YSOEjNBj
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUMxY2qtkT
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEjLRFNWJb
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aXw1We0DE
Unos smiles before answering.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IE97mvwQJ
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlr9wvr5gd
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA66J4JrVvo
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N3c0yCYY2
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RcH7Q7kJg
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBJAojOUxy
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltTQEwMVO9
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheFQuXWux8
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hs4WokSmP
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtiCxnpJjZ
Danny: “June, wait!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyOHDtPi7E
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTpvq9qlnh
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRLQuqj97U
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9XFxLj8HV
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uvPEOJ8H6
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HRehugm5H
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga64CAw5xU
Danny: “Whoa!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUPGGIglpc
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGYZGQJzOa
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghGdkFyZuC
Juniper: “Ready.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dSIzorsUn
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcAsmEez8V
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6P8GnWcDx
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QcwYtqL50
June: “GAAAH!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq22IxKSul
Danny: “June!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYUifbXUIf
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7jeE0GTI2
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpgUWBu8g9
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLu6DYPgaJ
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW531JBHhW
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI0c1TEFNa
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid2AdHriEc
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEaKGe8Fmc
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6kFg9FfMc
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT46qaHmFp
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuLsKAQEBW
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmYuWVezr4
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFVO8coyB2
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmQlEEdCsr
Juniper: “I-”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJsX2eqaLa
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK2aNVbfOK
Juniper: “Huh?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8hkUAnJZn
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbzpMQVe4n
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavkXrCWeyj
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27sKiucdYF
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!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurHMoetUiI
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65aaTZHuf1
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkAXoY088Y
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsbR9BvaDi
Juniper: “Good idea.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab9SUPTTZx
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a2ffGNS2S
Juniper: “Yeah!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlkofvk9pp
Unos: “Nice try!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9weR0Bgk25
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso24xP6VD3
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhkHWcDPxW
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqP2J1R5vg
Juniper: “Plan C?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ8A8CvwPu
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbjBh3njqw
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVI5n4Z1qH
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC5r6BWgIN
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm9WtS6qHz
June: “GAAH!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrES6QKP7k
Danny: “On no!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeViyPQmIT
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylrVX14IDS
June: “Ugh, again!?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2xU0q6rp9
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?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXem3hkwxQ
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n3OrL9b6U
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyQnMC9K4j
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcu09rmE02
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWRBKs4PgX
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rhm5nxbfx
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RxSZ2N32P
Juniper: “Hurry!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7VAFrMja2
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUUR538mg7
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?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJxWI3cdGT
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPeaPKpGfF
Unos: “Tch.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZynHocuwJS
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPGOQHoMip
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M9q40dTKj
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX894LXkCdv
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqKmnsz01t
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPC6Osm1lo
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoB3Zezom9
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyzYl1NTxw
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2lQBMiceE
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk34WozXMyR
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0oQGj0MiH
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIVLu2SHO3
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTjewLk74O
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkpMYW5zbS
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ220oQHBQ1C
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSbUiqekIb
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl7uzz3Bhz
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f8aUaK0vH
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFiABZ0YnM
Unos: “What are you-”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BV55AfMip
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSsAYkBMt2
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84oE7st2rr
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7kSaC6Kbc
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JtMFrJUK5
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?
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6cjyq0yNC
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR5mxHG0wz
Juniper 2: “What the-”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp9Dlqe5Vn
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH1aMLSarF
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgIyw75B8F
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGB88kxR4b
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2mG5uMO1i
Fear.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC6IkXXTHO
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18RCfCYmbX
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgRnD9XeHI
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Dn1a5qAw
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh86edzLEGY
Unos: “N-No!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPHRszrewe
Juniper 2: “Now!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAABWHz6yp1
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pbfb8d5TN
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNW2FgzjLL
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVBz6AJncD
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6wBBRw0Du
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC1lA7tdDD
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Nmfinm4x
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKGQYprpYQ
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrbHSrLHow
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRCxMBTZic
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gt7yfS7iA
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHg20zT9Ic
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J1v5AOF3j
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVLJSTavLc
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLPHa93BqL
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3OCI9QoHa
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zLKchfo0r
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Y9CZo2vt
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnly2tYJhfA
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqLJCl6OWj
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeMw2K4gju
Juniper 1: “Who?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsicC6hjsfw
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvJggxj6fM
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNRgQ4wXzA
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMCCea5DhF
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCJhojldxb
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO5p6L6amd
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP1HkoOU7q
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZE8yIpvSM
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38UaewHy1o
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsHMJXfTMA
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrcVcUncMe
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwForzKqfA
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UVYwNH27S
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9YddYplS8
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfG9cc2CFr
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t1berUhZn
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG1WEkIlpB
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSb85EsiCu
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24RhWcRfxr
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf850iSyxP
Juniper 2: “Right.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ3OTApejp
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHVeQYm3ec
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNHh2l0fKa
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdXaXh1zy0
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPeVhXILzK
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcuCdvLShI
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDOhOa0LkE
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd0VsKseCi
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ewDOwIYzq
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmNZ7myoCo
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUSctyBc0i
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mi3MHMmJf
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql5dvpvZ5c
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fHvcSJgDI
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwla37kflG
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyQfB3XP5t
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntNYGNh1g8
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjy5V0PImP
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhYGjGHMiN
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDciua3U6GF
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgkiwuAJ98
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDrSgiPQHs
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6t3w5r1ye
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zkJ2tmgwe
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7cqtvRN0H
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRet48eMH1z
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pzTyFrwtB
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkBUbLg8zs
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Deu0sRO7l
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUEmKn9nsq
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkZ3hoAUwa
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xFeQ89ioA
Dos: “Great!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrpI9wXmDb
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpqF4STRJ6
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVLxpDyLGV
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw9dD6Vzpc
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmivmOiLHvx
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10JBcnYKHy
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zx31qQJ7D
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyn2kCf88j
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJuZ5jwTvN
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjdMOTwnLZ
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”

Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrCnnK6vzZ
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttolAxZaRu
The Junes: “Later.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgggCiXgeJ
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnikccotmS
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0ZqPIuYTo
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YeHOkypNs
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1t9Gb1544
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X7HUufXFO
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVGe1L4HVa
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhxc4PgaTC
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvBIUt1rJ4
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mYrK30w00
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7nIYWmKQc
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSvh3zDKg6
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVJLrUh2vV
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb2Y3v1CrL
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyc353BR4D
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBTroGWV34
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxodzxDQyv2
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfhp9HpsJm
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNJkGuTvPB
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7UgPRDm8r
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zn4p2GC67
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSQYNA0XUk
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUmdOl66N4
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YMTHJXbhm
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe9x89Wxif
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CEbyFpCpi
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP4mV2VXfK
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fZcjUsnd4
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66m4B4PZjX
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH2UkIb3zH
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJWLS832sZ
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Q44nf0d4
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeIVYNT6PF
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4WAgxNxYr
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BpWAzjPyk
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrErcjpzSpq
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiwHupO9gi
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukQ6jJhOX7
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarw6u4g3kA
Unos: “Untie me!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbemFT4BD9
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1LJBCRf41
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNshpxpSDG
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz12p5iBAD6
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQrCr3juHn
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJF5rdzAuD
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxGH1tG6Qu
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8AdeMZ9HI
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeMwoK4BF1
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk04N349d7H
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH0d67Kdws
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Az6k2tQQE
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA09xWjlus
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CjrX6wsIB
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAkl0PzcP2
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5AG4CEq8i
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW5rrMRwcw
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf13WLjQLQD
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuacL6xZCW
Unos: “… Never.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jyL4qwM7R
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYf3TK5A9B
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnxQWiCSTi
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeJGYz6Ppi
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yC7Y1f8I7
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV34GimM48m
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHFnZqwzXr
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyH3Iy8MRS
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXa52M4S3S
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3eRMLXdGM
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGyVwZ9Jfv
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5uZI6bunw
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?
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhIyd1f58h
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8v0l8AAlp
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2ToP0uwsD
Dos: “Same.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ644fUJN9c6
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sS4HRzXiK
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMfbQXb6qZ
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xleask6H8
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vFYz3IMDU
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswSOqQSAj2
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCuzSKV1o0
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc2f66GnGn
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczp9zEhfyf
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFhy9Evf2V
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A9O3h6F82
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVijGVuRPAk
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuKYvXxx94
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw22C0TseD
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYx9bH4i6d
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULSrzHRk7p
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34MpZByeKn
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQe6ope8Wz
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzeQ8VYWNh
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDKiHnFfq0
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPru5OmPhHC
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc26uFJRrO
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM9Kzhyt43
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2htN6BvCk
“Yeah!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eR23B1KkZ
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJLgBhoLMv
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLrOWufnEY
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE0u89lUtH
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNPClcozcP
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT9X2esNng
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ac0bNwblK
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyNNx01qV2
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNfh9qIzi5
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUlcoHyfvU
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf8yCDC7a4
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUIMI3RiKD
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa25LWYsLI
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIwpEv108v
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuzcu8zHLB
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQMw066Lcs
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNPOG866IZ
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy5x6f7dW5
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyF1qiOAj2
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHvzr5jg6I
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKAAS4Svof
Juniper 2: “What?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6iuf35cLG
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtIDMbVXbu
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJsIng924l
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?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LK3JfLiQK
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI2zI78FuW
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uu6Tzc6nm
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKCgzHt3Wv
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd8gkfZcGW
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB916qoraS
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4LZ5LP3J3
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5DjH1pIRW
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm21uCPRHU
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JDdNk1u6l
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkuiQ22lv2
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7NzRSKdRh
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatvgvan6dQ
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aLmeJjw5Z
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRN7djlzKb
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdN7TWRSOv
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4LVgdiINU
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSIjCSSp5N
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsozbXiOl5
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVr7sTHUSx
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWN4KztU4Z
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YNcBZyUji
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBncNsQgDiZ
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBsM6DBwJD
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWVGxQKri3
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ENNuysv9s
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJr93zD7kQ
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20jBrcy8PX
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8Q4xqDAAa
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J1zxgBTdu
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudR8Gmoo38
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQS7DPEfMi
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYxQrU0Bb3
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3bgPejO4Q
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?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fEEnapfwy
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNndTpDIfwu
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLBtBjtvqK
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQfv2i6NgB
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR4L8hLFjk
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7fIryS147
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw00s4uqAz
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzwZHp5SJI
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BY3VHHtj5
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9K4usamil
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu11PYFxXK
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu51GHl7uo
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYdhL3iyLM
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyWFUjkgD6
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnntGcSmUGU
Juniper 2: “No way…”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvTNlvZEIS
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?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6InrAg9ss
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPm6poc4iL
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboI4ZxIKlQ
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtOb5NhQtd
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw7PI0Z0xd
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFEaTcGGWp
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDqfyBlpHN
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6UHKDZE54
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GJntR1J5O
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JPzbrEvM7
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDivd60pZXm
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpuQ2eSpO0
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoKOC73BDv
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6OgNefgTI
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9ifs4TGZH
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR9AG8eV7p
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI1NxlEWXc
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.

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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMYLzevfLF
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw4TAtes0N
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCOjZ5N9Rd
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xAm9Sq0vR
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQmR0XR3L9
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxWKXti07R
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhgW8hTpHV
Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnufEENAzF
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5WZDPhNCy
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisu7El6bk9
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREy23gw34D
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm0PzwUJTu
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R0WXf9Og1
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHAc9eMObh
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgoaMzsnlk
She says as she pats his head.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEjwxFWSGJ
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2H0jc1vAM
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtpO7LTqII
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pn540xR6T
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLGlUYY3gy
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ipl6hMIfq
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM5YmZgyGx
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkMBxQHVrL
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJorqjmP6AR
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4odGKdtcA
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBdhGrSefX
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZwmrFt5iJ
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd989aKZJfY
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF0zOlb17Q
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExmC2YiChg
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHykBnCcvTo
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFGrxOeWue
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ782LsJMKY8
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!?
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOIsLNo5kI
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYko39tivHD
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmAsNccWKu
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fvGSfdoya
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvnpC5e3w4
She had no friends here.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNKMKugrow
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcYxoeiaJ7
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejzxc4iEce
She was… alone.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL53UMDsYvV
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKjhMrRgNR
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPfFuO6t5a
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTJUhYX12I
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBVVyepl9N
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vlgD8FTfG
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Gf8YPCYj
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm6qtSQyMj
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpOS9Crzk0
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogmLbp9ZSm
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.”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxhzhQnFto
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBqII37H1O
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7tF2Y7QQy
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQwWqnZvCU
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.

To Be Continued
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhV2fUvDBn
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h9L1WRSJA
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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbV0U1mIr1
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWVY6bmxKB
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTeD33biRY
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv7fFZwKYZ
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcxRnJgUdE
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1GcSyIMwj
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEVvz8Wmd5
- 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.
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmjDksWR3Q
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
