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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAWidHIY59ll
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA0MWAGF8hRE
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA3lnF0ua7Q8
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAigQoF8mgCY
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAsqWmy7HbbI
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAj8s1UD4H5H
Unos smiles before answering.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAo4bbOhhmAi
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA06zesd0B65
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7UblAx8uX
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAvHz93NyRcu
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAr08xVlX7Dx
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAlRoET2VvgS
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAXpUU59rZ8U
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAJgvMsFX51V
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANABn0iMhvETw
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAwzKHCzce6P
Danny: “June, wait!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAaGSU5P3BGA
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAyvxNbrgyA2
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAPFwux3OXfw
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAhpZuTd6ZZG
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAyrIVDohuYe
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAbcJRV3yYau
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAol4sh2ECxD
Danny: “Whoa!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA1TpF2hAVCL
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAF6qOm8jxBM
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAYuQoHHl9V8
Juniper: “Ready.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAJqjiyuxGzZ
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAb8XTD12UCj
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAFvIULosWMU
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAs3MW2LLcke
June: “GAAAH!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAzgkbXzfqNF
Danny: “June!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAWKMI1dGBwM
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAwOYcdCsdtx
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAjYdTZRifKX
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAQIIWI599ya
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAGTEM3RG0Kf
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAdwWi0RLZaA
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANANMoeTVQGvI
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAIjqIb87Mgc
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAcb3suZT89D
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAIdF3Pn1484
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANADxyADk5pXL
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAsewDMhoDIo
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANALF94Q6QWra
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAUPVXHNqN9W
Juniper: “I-”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAbT3YM4vxls
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAsbAMIeK7u1
Juniper: “Huh?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAoQTgVXG8Wz
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAPcsejKhH8A
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA2lZ8NH7Vo0
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
150Please respect copyright.PENANAqYereMWlwH
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!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAmVZu8aiYzF
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAzXvLiW61jS
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA5KUk1yAcv9
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA4L0iGlXjfE
Juniper: “Good idea.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAIGyg31t0ym
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAf7nfZgpX6Y
Juniper: “Yeah!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAyZMKdIPnro
Unos: “Nice try!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAVr9UdRgkbb
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAs5A2LRoA85
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAtge5afKB1I
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAcVoNeuXOku
Juniper: “Plan C?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANACPUU8tR8YJ
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANABcqKxMh5YY
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAPg8EjsTrQA
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAZxii4DxOAn
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA3CWVqefGT8
June: “GAAH!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA2opgImDCmR
Danny: “On no!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAXRnM5cMMOI
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
150Please respect copyright.PENANANyYf0ZcsXo
June: “Ugh, again!?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAw8eAAudDBd
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?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKMeN3A36zy
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAtuNC4xx60f
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAddxK8S5ROU
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAGf4uSwfdch
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAIuMUFZ21Bh
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAWFweK5rN0Y
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAVdDS13tYKQ
Juniper: “Hurry!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA4b8vnJ19Mf
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAX348SMVOr8
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?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAX837KZKddt
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAyvF4dUz8mg
Unos: “Tch.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAATzhsMU1OY
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAziuNRVYG6H
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAtjoVkCCT72
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAAUdcy3H3SH
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAmYAeDO3CfB
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAbYIj5IjPiB
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAoVc7tmIKFu
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAUpcyDAqYHy
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAs8QVV2xtxq
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAs2zdRuWRAb
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAfI7FuVkDPV
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAsX9JiZCwDs
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANATu2dleKfF6
150Please respect copyright.PENANAOTyYG7rSR4
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA9kdxtx34ko
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAVnz8cNgpFH
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAar0KcshwTi
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZWBV4NN7M
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAZOLvvekMm9
Unos: “What are you-”
150Please respect copyright.PENANARjRABuZHSh
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA0uzHc5aU9j
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA7e7txzGECJ
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA6PA8mEgj8U
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAD7HJJISgKX
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?
150Please respect copyright.PENANA4A6iwthQzw
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA31P72qJ7OZ
Juniper 2: “What the-”
150Please respect copyright.PENANANw6P74QkxB
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAD5BfPx3Xne
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANABNkZ867ndv
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAoKNFXPpw0S
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANARBEfmBPhkx
Fear.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAiwZKX3IRx7
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANABSsmOPJvWU
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAsfvEuhktGl
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7WOCummAG
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAktNEpjRorh
Unos: “N-No!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA0KWI6QU8Yd
Juniper 2: “Now!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAXIYCop26Hw
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAjtWqiUcg6c
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA5yDZhWPhEF
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAsbR3njliJp
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAtpSFBk03Fq
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA3xsj3BKzkt
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA7akJpuFUdC
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAUSg0ZzuU04
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAgJvSEWmX9w
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAabuMEhV9qO
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAM2orVHTkRl
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAp5lmDWDYVa
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAmtrkwiXvSq
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKBDgAAtFxe
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAgiVRZmpB3h
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA5ILWDkup23
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA5kj9ll3ahj
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAXRXPw7AI5y
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAbmtAvcddLv
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAYmCJAy8XKI
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAkhw0Bmd0TD
Juniper 1: “Who?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAVPe6gDMvj5
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAp3EEiLcMyg
150Please respect copyright.PENANA1tHhQ5Kyjj
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA3iTQTMv1xS
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA4RP2DSlt0O
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA8F6iW96vCC
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAGUGDQmG7kR
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANATAdhfySNDd
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAq7BHrFRK35
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAOFSoSbHUv8
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAc8znWJxFNi
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA28rki4dCiL
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAna6VUULKb9
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAn33MzizHSN
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAoHklmhYFeL
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAFuCMiL4rik
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAV8vPOki3Bw
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAkMb1VVZJ1x
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAFLftXCLxzq
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAU2gFjjcJ0m
Juniper 2: “Right.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAkkeNykUpcE
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAEUmn1rlot5
150Please respect copyright.PENANArgDjk2RUZs
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANArFzOxrdMFg
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANANFeYU0brYV
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAJB5imoy9yD
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAoMVfxlWhRZ
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAIYsn7lQhJV
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAg3VFA7VXB8
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAhJI0v57DFS
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAFwXUuB8Knq
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANASbdp86QMjF
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA8jK0sDv3w9
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAJBUv7JO2dV
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAlEiJy0NqVW
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAGaGZZwU2OO
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANARUqU4oHTyp
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAFWGnY0wwGX
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAnX4OjTWIyj
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANASXkF6EIoaD
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAOka5jnN5dr
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKYINoJ3OjV
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAWKz0IOoXVa
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANALPFipXXvlE
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAHaL8i4lRXe
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAbgj6UYoCnC
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAIWfFjjkcOK
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAZATqq6HrbF
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAPGBOpLnOSX
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANATrHOFDoniH
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANASCz2ND2IjL
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANALvwOKVcBJx
Dos: “Great!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA8na2DmgddI
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAUGgHiLVUNn
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKmRtc7Ki5H
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAf5Qe8SdbOb
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAc7t7qEHk9F
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
150Please respect copyright.PENANAn5FvMXdFFh
150Please respect copyright.PENANAyJpeW2CHvM
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAYS1GeeJtUm
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAkcHZB4yhQx
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAnCURIbRhZy
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAG6XMBd6Nf3
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAC8sBHI0XaI
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA2A1YfbfTzl
The Junes: “Later.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAK1oKQlxLOk
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA2h9Qa1vU0O
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANADXUYKxTy4k
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAmNexETMTv8
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
150Please respect copyright.PENANAG5Si9pJLOu
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAsYjbxLyoMW
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANABOO1fFcbXi
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAwu1sIXJlqB
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAw090xcgQuw
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANARoByXfeYC1
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA2FPs6nfFX3
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAaxM0RUb3kP
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA5tYUCOC00G
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA1iScptR5vX
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAuar41o7QxD
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAE0oSVoxmiW
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAsO4vWGqDE1
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3PzlDDQzd
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA1cCFT10xRo
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAo16BTPuij6
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAd3vGg5O2UF
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
150Please respect copyright.PENANASYms0xiMiw
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAdxMoniMhoP
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAwaafwZuRtX
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANANd2VO2zMxX
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAY2Zmzs9Nr4
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAgaYsntrbjX
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAxDci80QOeb
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANApSZXgmEHqc
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0IXUCnxrG
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAzoYkIk20pO
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAV9TzGTgxYg
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA1k2ZfCjJob
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAxi8neX9kjs
150Please respect copyright.PENANAR7zR63BufD
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA5DjEbHQKPO
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAzmctTcia2M
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAd5yET89vAn
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ9Ghvi3ry
Unos: “Untie me!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAOYMXzA0S8y
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANABJfslp3myX
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAiN56t8lzqX
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKlfjHM5Xbp
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAay9l9mQeNO
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAd3Dyl3Auoe
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAz5fxtYY9uc
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAh1MWXA8MDb
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z9ksFzJqd
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA4ilW1EgM7r
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA27va2d6vx6
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAqFI2gg70f8
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAiTDZbr4yA3
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAZHIVrLt1Fi
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA37TzoryAXr
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAxHYvjSFLj4
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAMgWuMY92OT
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA9I49yGceja
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANARlbIYWoMb1
Unos: “… Never.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKuLUHj0VC5
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANALrnEwVFGJh
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA7a1GdmCNfx
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAeBreMx62Kf
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA1FAUrG9kKV
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAxe51yMGdFl
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAnMczvJmXg8
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAdhoBG6YD9b
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAg3qOIaDO8v
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANATl6My59eRI
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAQwXFjWceyN
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6qBzcD80e
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?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAkppsic8Krl
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAYGbZ5I524F
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAquRjTsqGnx
Dos: “Same.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAwA7WMLfAte
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAeQKCjzgubc
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAA3uuFP1Xxw
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAVYmH65OyvW
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANANG5JkMgHX4
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
150Please respect copyright.PENANACWeLc1LFTJ
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAOcAohXqbm0
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAzT7duhCo5m
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAdjwtsGHcEY
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAPV5CU1doBE
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAXcG11tlDTM
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA0VVEyuZbsN
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAZtNYAcpM8p
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAJBDYF9BP11
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAa8AtudzJO6
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAt5TleDQQVu
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKOiw8PaFqz
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAfGL1hlRBUq
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANANJRbnOgyqs
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAEIbgcbXvWv
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAhhRfjPjQ9N
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA3X336AKDt1
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
150Please respect copyright.PENANA4Orab0BbUs
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAN4OtO8x86L
“Yeah!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAr6wslHQ4hS
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA8cLDBTjCiv
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAg5naksKIvr
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA0qGyMj7CCG
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANANe1kUVlbNB
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAQc9iGzmqFj
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAmjjNfm10Qr
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAASYV7BgHBy
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAp7x6Rjcd7w
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAaICTU88Oun
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAiS7pHLoycH
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAz9bSin5XNu
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAjUgWLKzTCq
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAGw9lgnpeKY
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA0EbBuwpIZ2
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAMCru6mpAbP
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAL0GwblKpQ8
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAi9bL12WsOj
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAMnFxnHU1M8
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAyssP6yC96D
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAAZeTuneqRC
Juniper 2: “What?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAzWW0ZEEHkM
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAkI1y3ko8Uj
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAQZChZRWvUi
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?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAYUWymrSnFL
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAwKRhmxwdLb
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKEg971GRci
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
150Please respect copyright.PENANATY0CuWLja5
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANATxIuNzuNga
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA44MoGq6OM6
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA6KxoYw48cU
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAuycdR5o9Ud
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAgASNRI2roq
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAWYKlW7MCH0
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAGl5mEqMRkV
150Please respect copyright.PENANAF1O2xlDkeZ
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA6nROxi2Lec
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAEku6Nnz4cF
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANATdnEvP7VG7
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAC9KiEf96FY
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA5jVCYTCA9Z
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAqomaG2lqDS
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAMIbe9hACVn
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANABPzP82GqmJ
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAueqjEN8IMj
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAxRJFN7SDxV
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAGoD1V1tkBu
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAXjIeWXm7Ez
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ2qV5Ide8
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAPq64DXytc5
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAmrhaJGS2xR
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAL3Ac9Wzupc
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAHEjWU5RDrT
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAaylasLP9sZ
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAse81en6rPP
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAOVGqV1du8S
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA8tdrTgFcEu
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAgWvvDSGezH
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?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAXEpYLaj8O5
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANACvu4is2tiq
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAYPUeHnfm3Q
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAEYQuap7alY
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA7i058e08vI
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAUsIN7NuSB7
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAmgbzC2QgR1
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAG7BSQpFBTA
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAgROZXGY50l
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA0bCwiOVz7f
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAdkiILt5uzF
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA3N49w0kl9p
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA8g55o3Zm09
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAkvduP2xGQ1
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAWeqh9VCque
Juniper 2: “No way…”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA3pFZvJp8rH
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?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAZHomvXRlOj
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAEhyjGeLRJr
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAEnrK7Xg0LZ
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAh7GOuYNAl8
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANArzF0Fg6Xry
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAUYXD6nizZm
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANArrnULGaV5y
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAlkEUvm5NI4
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA5qhRMH5cjj
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAYIbycbNpW6
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANARMoy965IBH
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA6lb6Tts73t
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAThx9BHYNjx
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANABJLZeMJEaN
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAN4ELlSLpzn
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAQlu56Ml0dP
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
150Please respect copyright.PENANANxpeomKAWY
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8naKQQb95
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAFvpLqvcMSp
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA6ChlEXPqNn
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANADv51WL8iBx
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAlDIHbngPKF
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAT7WEelqFvX
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAll1eCaTAWM
Juniper 1: “Well… try to look at the bright side; you can leave Orchid Bay. Maybe you can even become an astronaut for both of us.

Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAAIPMKaa6T9
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA2yUQBZfVb9
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAcqdDuVQeAT
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAnjZVTdIxa2
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAVPsrg3lCGM
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAaf5BIxpR1M
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAfEr1bCyFvt
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANApOisfZd0DC
She says as she pats his head.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKicmYJNNHa
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAjrsEN6mDKl
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANApgDR7xBiiV
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA7B4qiRWvEi
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAPkEcqljaIn
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAk6TYrGZNmP
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA9ThjZBFtQQ
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAOzWK925ty6
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAlG8ABzuWv0
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAR5u8KOIU3C
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAoVPZVo1lyE
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANA74AHbbb75o
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAPzzNSifoIn
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAXQc81T2bcQ
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAEGrMkmSeQE
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAeijxJWh0CQ
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAf9ymRklWEP
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAPdVuclEIj2
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!?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAWhtFW6qod7
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAU3Uru3gb05
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA4vVTTTpZIb
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA2jQax7BPCK
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA9APck8iTIB
She had no friends here.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAz7QggUV2bE
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA2uNrjoxhx1
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAlBBYHNChLR
She was… alone.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAw6PDBtSN4F
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAQuvWV4DyOC
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
150Please respect copyright.PENANAdpDtGeNKOt
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
150Please respect copyright.PENANABTk06Ql5Ts
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
150Please respect copyright.PENANAPV33mmN9tL
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAz6wlm7tzju
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANADC2WtlBu0H
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAfXCpz8GA4K
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAI6S4oZPHrC
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAcOrHtbVISr
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.”
150Please respect copyright.PENANABCRiRrIyFK
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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANA7bwlPCxoRp
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAKsgCtKIZox
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
150Please respect copyright.PENANAsBXPO2l7LQ
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAZmjl6UQgyk
To Be Continued

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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAIzRRvUKvw2
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
150Please respect copyright.PENANAMQu4fh9qzP
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
150Please respect copyright.PENANASS9iWS3mWZ
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAHlSX281RFn
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAiNzEdkMpNX
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
150Please respect copyright.PENANALCCrkPqKXc
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAxzzlBEl8L8
- 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.
150Please respect copyright.PENANAkz8fOVjhgk
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
