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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1IxHsYJysz
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9JWUbnbPK6
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAzsdaIaW5nd
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQSXnX55DkJ
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANApUvp5y3ean
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAuDLZCtcYRA
Unos smiles before answering.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZbteYiow09
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9phypE4n9g
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAk3r5AN4fFM
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWnNA5gqM4i
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQ15nIscDsb
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANADizQwp4yzI
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA7Sj0i8q85U
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKKuCHBv4wh
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ76ALBqj7
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
68Please respect copyright.PENANABQQjk3vBWf
Danny: “June, wait!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAo8S3IlVgqg
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANASi9w6E1cGh
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAN3I0lVAlOW
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAxwHan2f9PG
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANADMBIFLpemN
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAqzCee3YXSu
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMvhDEgaATB
Danny: “Whoa!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAga05fPFk2M
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUf7u2FXLW6
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANALkQxmmQEKl
Juniper: “Ready.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAfUcDzuHpZe
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWKwplsMFum
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2cjC8pLxnd
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
68Please respect copyright.PENANABQFfg8urgu
June: “GAAAH!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0KZnFT5JWb
Danny: “June!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcZcWDj0Rn4
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAReT9HgXJSP
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAl8WTqI3Zp5
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAYnCeIOf2Sd
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAaVhfiWBc6X
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAELbBZxlgvV
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANALSwTEbkhiX
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMR6ig9ZE9U
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAI55ETOwmnK
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANApYSqh4yKRR
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAiGH9GxEbqx
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2r2PodgYlC
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQZVYHDXfex
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAs1iW6GQnoD
Juniper: “I-”
68Please respect copyright.PENANASSy5suA5v5
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5JjvAlizge
Juniper: “Huh?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAwH8sJOB7is
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlQInhuF9TK
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAwAHcPWISe0
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ4DcdhbCe
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!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAP385tFfYRM
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJhAuCqBA9A
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAbCeletRKMT
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1MMIGipSoK
Juniper: “Good idea.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAXcAzv3o1B3
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAuTIKmT5Kcf
Juniper: “Yeah!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA8BroX1eJw5
Unos: “Nice try!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQh03NoBDkZ
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOwYukbTARh
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAa4RKXAOQ0d
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
68Please respect copyright.PENANABIPdEoQ73H
Juniper: “Plan C?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA7r8xjzsGPY
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAghDR59fREr
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAaoQiyBcdvr
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAq3dta9Ik1R
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAj1VvDAtnrm
June: “GAAH!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ0rMikvLC
Danny: “On no!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAznwJxKsxgi
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAbCTgRUg8Ul
June: “Ugh, again!?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANANa2VvI7F4K
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?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9DQFdxg0Jj
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA53jQey9Q1v
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA47gzO6i84b
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKKXcNS70zv
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6B1564JjQ5
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAvXwAWazjoB
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlnSziGuPcB
Juniper: “Hurry!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANApIacf3ls6p
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAePZi0msmlq
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?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANApd7N13svBR
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAghS34NhGuS
Unos: “Tch.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAbAuPzezOCD
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANALeCgZFFada
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAc1dOtUXI1d
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZDDtOinBYt
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA8qU2Zl2kP4
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAEtMv44rIdF
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAuI11CTRLjt
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHrGFlfffPG
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcoqZypKc2p
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPYsmxjZ1yf
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5bjioSXDNe
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZhlGftrMAs
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAFWz4uZjzMm
68Please respect copyright.PENANApSD7XI41TM
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAxRSLA7OnQE
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAtdxTI2SGtv
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANApwxlN0BrrC
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA8NKiMtPcnV
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJgG65Wn4s1
Unos: “What are you-”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAau5Nw0EGse
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2urTdx2CHN
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAaNJtUy9W4O
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZoswZWLj9O
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWZqO4asscm
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?
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQ52fXk9ZHo
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZPJEuHsNmb
Juniper 2: “What the-”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAS1ApjEjGZv
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAK8T2ZB4v7n
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAn8tR4JvS1w
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAkJA8fupeAx
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQj3VwvJT4a
Fear.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAV0Ny3DvR2S
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3tvMX1069b
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAmgmZpI0ZTh
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAxIAFQZEglE
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAh4BAQ7pxZd
Unos: “N-No!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6kG4PxlNf5
Juniper 2: “Now!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANApuVU8AQDyA
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAvouC5sTudD
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAfFAy4jSs3C
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZUFaaPby3X
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3Eah3EpDjO
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAC8MJXWpPLX
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAFVm5tftNt9
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAwEABSnI5dq
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAxrA8LUUEMB
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAt3tF0cmCDQ
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA11eWKkIIdt
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAaf33WcEATl
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAql2crMU57J
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAbr5lbtG6LM
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6uBV3IiHKG
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAGty4r9qbat
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAiTnXAUZxWZ
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcqlNWMhXDZ
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2Pvy5WeFFH
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAB8C0IJO2Fl
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2Vu9f0ad7g
Juniper 1: “Who?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANApuuCh1wBgL
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAEYjjNBvjLR
68Please respect copyright.PENANABDrIoLLT8g
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9Y3RLQG2Ga
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAElIOpAEtAh
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAvZAvPMsHMv
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAYNwPSKpfT9
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANALjw9yCM37b
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAwVpFafUi9Z
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAhFpk3tamFp
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAP2zIAEOacf
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANASLc3UIP0k5
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKlv7HxKBwG
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAzrnaI9L3Tz
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOOiVxb9xxl
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcQWTdZWq7g
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlDwnCrW78u
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHDsDgalnPr
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKDNuw7kL1n
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAyFf3r6yHnu
Juniper 2: “Right.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjFLcJpKzSc
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUUNsHgPxJT
68Please respect copyright.PENANA91JrevgC7z
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAR7UWXJlLOX
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQf6YmItZv1
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANASm8UjeiIIG
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA7RJml5XIAu
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAfaRnSOKTDB
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAAHDcsU4ZYF
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
68Please respect copyright.PENANArankr5Sflx
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAdE5ur5ncf5
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlbqVtnDxBv
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2fBjPvpmdg
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAwQYC6qycFa
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAsfwZsgZk5L
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAB1nJiOxxUr
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA8hHekluHbV
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMDES0mTcY8
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAmW2gBBvA6s
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA84pFzL5cYg
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANADtMbYAerm0
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANABdd4jitGFC
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQhtXl0OE87
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAz5jfCSCEYs
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5AFzOJIJsK
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANATX59qGlOg4
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3AnLy8MPUp
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAltk5gm9kcz
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAIfrhtJXeCo
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA8coOnwyoFw
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANASQDnKcLdSP
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANADIOmqlwKCV
Dos: “Great!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAArHbWKQI9F
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAdy5swmPPV6
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANArzG9sXky51
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAa82WKy4TdD
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAGBjsdb2YYh
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
68Please respect copyright.PENANATBqxyQ2I2F
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKLHjKT6qBw
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0tWL1KoI8N
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
68Please respect copyright.PENANABCgfyyRb9K
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAmTclldyxOW
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAM9gRBn3Ewr
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAxQVgOJ9n2l
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAtJNGy4N42e
The Junes: “Later.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5HTcikDBPl
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAV4ZE1StV9x
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAGxyX5JdusH
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAppzWl5NiUz
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
68Please respect copyright.PENANAhkjs4xzKrc
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
68Please respect copyright.PENANATcQlaxBFcP
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAIsvS7PCY3y
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPlsbz7Q47Y
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAioZasRechZ
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWC5GwL4IJ4
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAvppP2kASke
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOM8L4yrsH5
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2vNSiwRvhC
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANACUFFqgWr3X
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
68Please respect copyright.PENANATkdiKgAOS9
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKfEMqf79G4
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANATj9jwfU992
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0NQVUo3pVZ
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAfa3Dm7pLs7
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAW7MFD92r0x
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjCVmpQLw3T
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVA1LsPSTrt
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANABlSCitFeTE
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAb9xg6rDETg
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJgg1Fhv9CU
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0SIMIt2Gyg
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAy15NNcWBkK
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANACUXzp5m1Y5
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAyH2XyZeLSq
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9RP209VOvq
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0DbJUWi1hY
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANADcHZvjIMM1
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANANTsbSSi7uv
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAb6iWUBn9Vj
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnbEjknY5X2
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHik9J32Ubp
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAzrKPgsMFzt
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAtWu3pfeAHR
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWTMrOIuPtd
Unos: “Untie me!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlvN2cVYcFY
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAYboVtlPkfI
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAaIZqDGKEf3
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnAOnuB1v9x
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAsLKtf1qD6h
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZatIQ9f7m5
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAxdeP0hdJGF
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAYfDcW7iSNG
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA4xFRfjPfGe
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHUUJ6vy1Ld
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAA79c6zWR5b
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJLxUtnW8pc
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAakd9dp5jUW
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA78UVfGuoJI
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAuTZQegOSVc
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAm4GXMMsXDk
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANArWA5fAnym8
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAFXZFdhj3Oc
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPtZhMtddW5
Unos: “… Never.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA8c5QPwODZN
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAiiwDE6i4uz
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPjc6TkGayF
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANACDtzwjlvH8
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANADbGwUoiHAY
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANASWjdGE1LLg
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAgeczN7lCC5
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAkC2RovFxMN
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANANdb1tG7fJz
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAeHFPwl8lNu
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAqFFydievlU
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAEstTgnFvFJ
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?
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZD8otq5BWO
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAU4EttCVLj3
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAikU7KRJgNM
Dos: “Same.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA629YziwFn6
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAzjG1PZ0COo
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANANsm9LAva3R
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnHmHRB3OVt
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAj9F79hQg7g
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAfp3SH88uXu
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3PxUIMnufB
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAEXzYHMqXhK
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2fShnHjk3Y
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2IB24BM2Mt
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAAmZrC128kv
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAxdROZsrMR1
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWgsV3bDby7
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ru9lGWQry
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAP9BNkXbZjG
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA4eHR6g3Hqu
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPPLlug7ImK
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAFZkaQ0v74P
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWnffqMcv7x
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJjrYu2f1bF
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMmsrqri1yt
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANASvYXMpEMPc
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
68Please respect copyright.PENANA59vHl3n7XY
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcenmm2Pdmi
“Yeah!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAeiU2SiP7nn
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjh1X7gKLqN
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAFjlxQlYm3m
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANANaddirf5ty
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAG0y5ykmqM3
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAe0KJEQo1Vm
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAx55b6XpOu1
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANADGA981SwjC
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANASkPTc568ds
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAmciXaFE68H
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAuFbKlsm90H
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPTbFr4hsng
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA418T4bhN6J
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUzxghB6fpE
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVvHG0jDxes
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAvhOVgkW8SC
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1Amw7GTvDt
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHb4HBgSZ3B
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
68Please respect copyright.PENANADhRIuEiLrc
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAgOgZuud7Cs
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5IKa4CVKH0
Juniper 2: “What?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAncKS8BUjnv
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAktOynZEBwK
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0LFjD1zQpH
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?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAdMzOiak7tV
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAAnkbNJuySr
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANArEdvz0abo0
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJHGBqFmwI9
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcC9VjJLmm9
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcjV2ZL1rvZ
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
68Please respect copyright.PENANARk2GnFLqOl
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAxwt7CMo0LU
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPYCot8z8JQ
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMZ9YSeP5N8
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAbIWaCMjrf8
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9t19wV24Y0
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAFF87pA3Hgf
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAIXIwXeymEF
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6DDb8Xc5La
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlVrfgSR8mO
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAp2SmN6uYW3
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANARZjPG2B5Vr
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnVo1LPQ4aH
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAf6vkE3OG4J
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUnd5QSFYAp
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAocc2L0VjiZ
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA32jcfhytK7
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWYLPYReHRO
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAzb6cEvqU5P
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3KUczXq0hb
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQEPm1Ein7l
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjyazdvxBVE
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAiujOKhoYhl
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKJZWtuEAny
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAE2eYuAvCzg
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJmreeqhO4p
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA5PTCj550Hj
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6IYLUPoMNC
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?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA7LYFG0yGKh
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAwqASQxTsaS
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlh06sY7wEb
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAvkpIZihlIZ
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcPQCHskNuI
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANANRJfYzrMYJ
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA4VtR8YT3H8
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANADjNRjnx2p7
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAW5d1fgMFrU
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAlJmRRZ12ZX
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAq0yKHWHT28
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1lpsXXeP4R
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9Zi9GM2pgD
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAkNpKcwc5Er
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWgWURJ9tal
Juniper 2: “No way…”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAfxkMmdZ1SJ
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?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANACBhJ6xxrwh
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJJTgxy1F2R
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAbjuyo0HsKM
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANALaIeQERPiL
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAfpMQPVERv0
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANARNiHA9QvkB
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9rThSEwJH3
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6dYWkWbY1Q
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAW7cP4Zbyf2
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANArEX59Yz57q
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAmg5puMizPL
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAP2uNNvKugC
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAgMjSL5WDcI
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAFrelBlcbD6
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANArB0RB3wzVV
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3AvFDfevYd
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAEdTF6eq9hD
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAwxbeaveMNX
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAfuAaM72oY0
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANASUsDhuyeiJ
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA9oOd7dbyVm
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3COErH0gtu
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUquewQMFE7
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKbtU6An0kA
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJZ41NhUuJq
Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAofVqG6fkgB
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAsm0fHya8jp
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAkQBw7kN6Aj
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAxXkYhjjNhp
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAKh2voun5za
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAasjQdG3lQq
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAdBh5sowUQ1
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANATznvS9NsJ7
She says as she pats his head.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOpGRJYvCWy
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAGjX1qyvqXk
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA2PqwUB3B15
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAqv7S6xisF2
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0jMRKSRNy
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAivCM43oJYA
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAAAts6lWNAn
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVyeEXvrWyz
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0eJivgdWgw
Not wanting to dwell on it too long, Jimmy changed the coordinates for the portal. After she was gone, Jimmy would take Dos to Brobot and then relax in his lab.

As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA282JlxlDFu
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHmN9TFmnGl
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANADwxhxUDDfP
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAInj1SYF09z
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3LLcX7z6rk
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZW5cbt8BNr
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMKIYlZqceD
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAy6HgDm0zy2
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!?
68Please respect copyright.PENANAGvXdDHKX2P
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANACrHzdb7VoZ
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAMs4YECgtFB
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAi2mFo25Idw
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
68Please respect copyright.PENANALJfoJc15Jq
She had no friends here.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAfUEncxpFhn
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPdqVrHvm9V
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAs0jbyioc6S
She was… alone.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPqVxcykSJS
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA8mYdlPf2Pi
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
68Please respect copyright.PENANAgSlkqFY1WY
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAPHg1FUC0nF
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
68Please respect copyright.PENANAW361uYKMZd
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAtoDXTszzcb
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANABUCRcmlkqq
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAepNRlTzxES
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUQqWA3xrVq
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAYMC4TqxW3f
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.”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnnKi6cqtTk
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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAYN4t3XQJPM
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWUuBibntP9
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
68Please respect copyright.PENANAYKk9peRocS
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.

A/N: Thanks for reading, and expect more from the Legacy Multiverse if life allows. Don’t expect the next story to be the sequel to this one. There are many episodes and events to cover, and they don’t all revolve around June.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjjLw5wLrIQ
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUxLCjnaCIQ
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAR7k6w9hLqB
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjLmoMe1vgR
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAdoNnzlVnj5
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
68Please respect copyright.PENANApBDCfmmItO
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0lQRFCccSJ
- 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.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOWr6su2q7o
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
