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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAf9KbPtjCvp
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAyqAA9dVNbj
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAV7fYHVoA33
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAtMNCiXA6hi
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA1MJRB9Uv7G
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAU8FIJbEu7d
Unos smiles before answering.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAPzsN3kpTg6
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA1Gs8naV0l5
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAikrCd0L7vn
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAUwvF93rZPZ
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAwygvGtwfNk
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA5XJ6TA5gbX
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAaZsavXRf4E
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA9lWfl0FOci
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANABskHRlQ1jM
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAHpW0o989mA
Danny: “June, wait!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAYuSvCUb7AD
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAfJns4B25w7
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANATpDP1J4n6N
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAIBuEX9DZWE
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA0xWvKNSO6H
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA0oWxBIhc3K
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAGK5agNXfbj
Danny: “Whoa!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAmdKZO0T24i
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAfhzEnoxxoV
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAzipuBLRqDG
Juniper: “Ready.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANArzgVZslvM3
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA3GSpm2ipSZ
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANARcRfQfLa6b
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA8wCh67vMlz
June: “GAAAH!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAqkc4oeDnXT
Danny: “June!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANASaDbfvak5d
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAUE6l0eHGL4
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQuVJdDJUIk
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
129Please respect copyright.PENANARC1W8sM5eE
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANABG0Wt4PiAB
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAe5B62Q36kG
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAwHj7lWPXmm
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA8fHOzznC8O
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAHBfBB1RBc0
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA0W7S2JUe1W
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA89VX51nZGu
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAAQZ1Tyjo3U
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAZHvo7oV6ke
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAmvtaxh7CXY
Juniper: “I-”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAd7TWUOWerl
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA7n2q1iNsQc
Juniper: “Huh?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAy5HHjvIqFd
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA1Fu0TSIodr
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA2wDOfEUWo5
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
129Please respect copyright.PENANAgAqykt6azr
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!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEoVgBF94uI
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAfruZ0364QN
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAuHKdkVnLPL
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANARoermnIFxU
Juniper: “Good idea.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAzlgQSflHiw
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAa24ylg8lAy
Juniper: “Yeah!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA62rMUaWDJz
Unos: “Nice try!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAhIB4ET7ORh
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAvRW38jbssx
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAPug6EcbOht
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA92L1qrmnsx
Juniper: “Plan C?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAxcIW02cegk
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAYBcYOgs4EN
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA5krHnyC1UG
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAXgADMYhRjs
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1tTrljHkX
June: “GAAH!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAH4h7UWR2Yr
Danny: “On no!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAx7WIRGgwrG
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAgzFZhjhPN8
June: “Ugh, again!?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAybtUhu8gkb
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?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA2nTDrvGx1l
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAFJWDjdpfK8
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAt1h7ygDOjp
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAGgUS2WMfTe
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAp9tTwsnSsm
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAKsXaAFP0yQ
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAcph0r1KivG
Juniper: “Hurry!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEDKn4xTh85
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAChWsfgx2rM
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?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAzPkIf2R6aZ
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAl3h5j2GW96
Unos: “Tch.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA5TNahhxcfN
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEKjeFjTAEh
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAKMSAOqTYwC
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAj4bc8CT2Oh
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAj6WFHndVBM
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAHArkOCVxMU
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA0odufPx4oU
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANACRdF09fcrD
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA6R0O6lvzj0
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQKaYvUs3fs
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAxqT99Y65xa
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAFSTux5QhzY
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA8H32tk8pkV
129Please respect copyright.PENANA6UhSaM1jjx
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAfl4UnUzjGg
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAsXLnlQkRPg
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA1QPOypPByH
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA5CfIPLH5C7
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAL2tGVWJT4i
Unos: “What are you-”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA1zPKUSh4eB
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA3erI2ZsLmZ
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA1JqirjH5hh
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANABkvgR6LYDt
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAPAWln52w8x
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?
129Please respect copyright.PENANAAO9Td34TNV
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAfxYBegmK8H
Juniper 2: “What the-”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAD6F6mXaAwx
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEO5lhwBcHB
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAYyATI0nuIn
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAZEFw9PXeNw
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA3VILjHdKJl
Fear.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA39Rzgq3ds8
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAtUzmYrs7Tg
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAri8gGQ2ePw
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAte3Avzi17P
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAkC4f5o2o4F
Unos: “N-No!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANABYVHKxVRJ4
Juniper 2: “Now!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAxUrEzMw0UD
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAbiCPhlDkC5
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAds3R2oOd3D
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAG3U2Pi1nww
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAdGA4yxNtVn
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAqVeqa6G2Yo
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAbIEx8j91h6
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAgHJ6Xv96B7
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAZPfhAFg0gp
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAA5PRSSne5w
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ3z99lWYi
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAlIw7xqjxqp
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAueLhwZsOqS
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAvFxJnIJgcX
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
129Please respect copyright.PENANADJexffRszJ
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAx4IjFzVzOO
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANACLLDzgYDEN
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAhGYdGcVejA
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQYGNOCfp4m
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAfBH18BGUHV
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAoYSnTYL1XX
Juniper 1: “Who?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAWx2uuJ863J
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA5svdfPWsyA
129Please respect copyright.PENANA9xGauUwylC
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAK0ZdHVRN3N
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANApr7ofgwR1y
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAj2ccQZoL4N
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANANJ53rL1m8r
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEBYW0rSXuI
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAR84aQuFDZo
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAWZNhoBXHZB
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAFlaQBcbQC3
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA44CXn4rmNR
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAoTSdwNJXSm
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA7uoG24kayv
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAOgwhdQlnZf
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA2CkuTeud66
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQ86RI6awVg
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAcNzsBh0nei
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANArBZpAnyE1I
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAzheEUvOUiQ
Juniper 2: “Right.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAUG1w8gHmqI
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ag1LQwghu
129Please respect copyright.PENANAuiuiOMlVum
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAatrfjFXNy9
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAoFxuQI1vd4
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAozkRsYmVfU
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAV2vQ0s9edc
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAcrnUAYVuF2
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANALwAXDgfl6A
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAHSrhFLbwW7
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAYqh9Hh9MC0
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANACQMEhJ8u4l
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANALBo9KCdnsD
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANArHw1iNPgE7
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAobrS1HWXyV
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAiVxhcNiFMm
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA7ke3PCpafu
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANARcjv5kTY1v
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAOEacQ4tfNu
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANATPoTAg2HVM
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAiUty68uZ92
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAKTjWuMU60i
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA9npY1H6C1Y
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAkYSk5tlFJj
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAryUvw3IGS1
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAw1j5oNymrH
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAE6BoFnoT2x
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAHzYbXVKGhS
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEF10VzpDYF
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAu1L9F1hAqY
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAw3t0caHCfN
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAtflt5pLE5V
Dos: “Great!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAvtPWir9uEO
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAuMWtCoQ2Eq
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANADJZwl12qmq
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAgQzmpvYqvq
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAcv7z8Uoy1c
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
129Please respect copyright.PENANACdJOakDdW7
129Please respect copyright.PENANAO0xhuCROiy
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAqEOYIHa1Lm
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEV3hGcqmzf
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAx4NbpHyLTg
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA5p1qTUZqAB
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAjQBx80xAaM
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANANx1ueC47Qw
The Junes: “Later.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8m3Y1LOkZ
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.

Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAgroQWsS2ut
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA4ehhk5TV2K
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
129Please respect copyright.PENANAcHA9jlnSgK
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAuX03uFlmR0
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA293WDvGmub
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA47dT3LIEvJ
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAzIXAvHEkOk
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAT7GDRlPVfR
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAXUt56tboYR
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAKVZTg1UMqL
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA3W6fy2zdxm
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA0KwsrcKz6Z
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAF5zuDEIrz3
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2YS6LlRkD
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAXn6EWnwj1j
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAW68NSdmmPU
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANATIQygaYM5R
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAiBDo9ych5A
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAo7BsPusK58
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEN6Atzk3Wo
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAYddnpINW7r
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANANpxmuJDSNw
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANASuZMt0HiVG
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEHkEmtD9h7
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAfcCAsK8l1i
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAl3TRqGbqqg
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAsWPWhdptC3
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAhecEdSm2Ud
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAVuWMkSEYej
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA2PGup3KdjU
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAOoZENmqWge
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
129Please respect copyright.PENANArSV0yvEpr2
129Please respect copyright.PENANADdNs1vILrY
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAZi1DocijZM
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAPHPydHtdpi
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAY6CjVSRFo4
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAih9lru8Wtw
Unos: “Untie me!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA5nzzUul1ts
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAwkFQtoxRY5
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAb9aX5rkcmL
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAezNARrJwxB
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAUMXabyp35M
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAIfWK5f3J54
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAmQYI48B9w9
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAyR97DyaKjn
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA3zDTO7b9pG
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAK2t5hQ4HJk
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAlGeGGRo11E
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEF85UaNyLl
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA9mon7ZsI8a
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANALUg404eWpR
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAO1y29dCMaX
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAYPv3rfvZJ3
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQm2iLWJM6r
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAGBHqBnCyed
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAhSvlIUBY5d
Unos: “… Never.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAC1IHF8MMcB
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAqVukZkeAJr
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANALPnxN8IHru
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAF7YYqmNJZB
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAwd9YyqAmpF
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA0lsCUErcgA
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
129Please respect copyright.PENANABSrvMe2NDJ
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAD87yVfZ1Ar
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAKZwjqPxlyh
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANACgQpeWSdVf
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAF5CxrBX1Yx
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAXcn2dEukRX
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?
129Please respect copyright.PENANAmBuOqZHDut
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAIWKPWDvzuI
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA0YkW74nf2k
Dos: “Same.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANArGxmKWtCae
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAlepFvvKuZT
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEMASvZHa1k
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEe1ozTIIhF
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pu40rYItf
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA6PJqU8UR1b
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAzKfP3VzVWU
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAYWnjty87Hl
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEYbC6xhbUL
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQsNuDNTnGm
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA3ct2mcv1H1
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAehBEc5N45B
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAS9C3Kr02K3
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAsZcozUypRC
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAs21tHeqfZX
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA19WTUoR23L
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA89EyCp8xtp
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAVeBCg6IFDU
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAksDayoTodw
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA5bk9u1QnSo
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANArJwJt29vt6
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANApMUpx9Rzec
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
129Please respect copyright.PENANAeal1cI6UYg
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAMQmwZy39Ig
“Yeah!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAs1RgR04HWz
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAh7lXRsS8jz
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAMoMpKT2EQc
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANACqMXZlFlcB
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA5UKX6nfZAk
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAOPX9Upfsth
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA0x7YVxgi31
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAjE6ctgvRdG
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAHZsHWNIaHd
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAXBIQqiRVer
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAJHycnJUIHl
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAzsgasQUh0o
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAELXwTVEXzZ
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAOJMNK7MVsf
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
129Please respect copyright.PENANANyZhTFHNAc
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAjzyjFedFDF
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAjI9QX6R30T
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA9iOw0uA179
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAPb458qwksb
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAh22ivfEWGQ
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANARnBzD5qXXt
Juniper 2: “What?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAe9jEIt3FOY
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA4lqu3kLJkj
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAdE3oweGdzw
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?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAYVuFHfFmX9
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAY9dBxr20yj
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAzqbQf1kxtD
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAI95hnwXQrd
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAAhXQti27ex
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANANzkGx74CQT
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAnU5svKW4hI
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAsWmAEOt62F
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA2TTc6VQvdw
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAvq8pxjCcdP
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAx88v8fspVU
129Please respect copyright.PENANAgXoLvNpJmC
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAu0WIhNZfs5
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAjmOwFKF213
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAjIYEm2nD6j
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA4844iB54aU
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAFRpK6IBSoT
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAIvkQC1vLUy
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAGVFiNNgcIf
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA0Nfo6sAAHE
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAR6n6H3FrUh
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAXO57oUV2fA
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANACFxhagLvcY
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA8P6FDtxJUd
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAajj7dKdl5g
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAblUp9mfubu
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAj2YzLCFgns
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAUbdOUjxF94
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAzemlmncsag
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAm7n39mTnAy
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAtegT91pe8G
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAx9b5Gs20Ny
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAVBgrRlVwwK
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAA34jtuVlTo
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?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAib0h4Favgn
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAOSAcQr7hoU
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA5u8gGb7uwO
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA787kWvBOnM
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAo6lyiA7LzG
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAJDxw85onYl
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAs5T6FoF74e
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAG1Tk7nXuKg
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANARqc1To63bm
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAL6KnONFzu1
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA7dK1qTe3d7
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAFdXKW6AU52
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAyyfMF7wmmK
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
129Please respect copyright.PENANASCDhzySfRE
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA5aOHM8XTXZ
Juniper 2: “No way…”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAS55Zz06tZM
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?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANANdy9G9eXAt
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAwNdjWac8em
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA5jHbkR5ZN8
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAwjQGLHKnYI
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAwEy2I7iR7N
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAMD92nsrFPE
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAaebfqoJCZL
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAoZWvImfIVf
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAXwZqMguyiq
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAwvoDyo0dEb
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAjA3QAkFdDA
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQVGFhattlu
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAYEqHkNVWlz
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAmBss5LBSKL
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAvDL5TX07Zo
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAOj37ayFlBw
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAeHcKAaHfCi
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAo3Q4VRLYYM
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANASTKpGBbC5G
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANADiRYxmiDgF
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAoPQE5RT1Ll
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAM2P8ytQCz8
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANADsJVCO8o6P
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”

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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAJtqctHwqyL
Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAma20fYZZlc
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANATU7idsqxO6
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAp6asfbHaDd
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAXDDRNPg6qT
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA30LS2wvufI
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANABlgzgPAwWB
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAkvkcksNoXE
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAtEVZ7vbU2s
She says as she pats his head.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAkFOjEtc7Xa
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAHjeyzdy4vJ
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAfhpseRcvYz
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAP7CGOAsnLK
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANABIvL6IGpBr
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAjNTTalEw2e
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAXb6CJqbJrO
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAkgsT3WcSBe
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANA48Ro2wHUOI
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAmBlNvqNV6i
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAWUb4Uwuhpe
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAAiGEpKXIRg
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAR1nFd0JL8e
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAK141YYRRZB
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAGj3itnwi5H
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAr4jZYX4ly2
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAC9Wo3rtnJS
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAKftXNv2PR2
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!?
129Please respect copyright.PENANAyGvuPD4DzB
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAN51QjipPLy
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAB6dC67GLLQ
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAgt2RtxJHL4
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA8nSH9Xuag3
She had no friends here.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA6275NjuGSk
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAnmRUJAI9Lf
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAJRd22zyp6E
She was… alone.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA3WBHEbYgxi
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAOhx1v1lo8F
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
129Please respect copyright.PENANAjNJeO8YN2c
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA1aml1Z3lO9
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
129Please respect copyright.PENANAHsN4Ft0Mum
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAvKMlB11LEo
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANArWzQgtvNE9
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAPZbgv3eM8S
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAtXAQcBkEGm
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAWz0OJOgLR0
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.”
129Please respect copyright.PENANApwEEx6RPxY
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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAlIOIS1CsaV
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAfmMMgRsJza
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAC3xWuJ3TJ3
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAaVzn1bQO6B

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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA40eBd2Iz87
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
129Please respect copyright.PENANA0JhVtbDKcv
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAxdJQMTKl5L
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAIaCPeM2pMr
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQK20ZxACao
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAvKnjedRZNS
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
129Please respect copyright.PENANA6brMiplMgg
- 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.
129Please respect copyright.PENANAIMb0s1JMsn
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
