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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA5fk2gZgkKU
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAz9BgiwAM4v
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAdUVIxqW2hV
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANASlnI6gdsG0
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJo5MVvuBrR
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAa9imLthWE1
Unos smiles before answering.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAblLqW6nxtd
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAdxaGqnU0z9
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAkaYI20nb3Z
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAMVeKZ4ICSh
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAF2F1Ztmy5B
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAMdtTSt7QMB
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAQM92a3trzm
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJzC6jT8vEo
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAXVVFKxjlWg
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAY82Q8fPpQB
Danny: “June, wait!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAdxxXCvakUz
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA6h0kKx2rEA
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAl2UAF3vbRY
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAFIEhsJaxXh
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAfo5X2SkFic
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAQTooilkpan
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAj6ktcl6lqm
Danny: “Whoa!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAROw4v52sXP
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7SvrM8MJoJ
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAaF7CC6dlXK
Juniper: “Ready.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA9wLULSgiTF
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAwm93vRpC8o
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAP4UOJ8Ewjz
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAZpoFTPg0SA
June: “GAAAH!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAODg7Y4DF7M
Danny: “June!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAiGHM2tuYyx
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4xlVuLmNN5
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA0vigg7bkIu
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAGcKMDZVuP0
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAxgfb8KjUAt
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANATWOaR3xFXN
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAUVatiECpgX
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAlJOfDCJtYo
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4envSs9URf
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAVx4U9mqxCb
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAqvM7o3eJF7
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAQnO0AjW4M4
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJtz2uBwLA1
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAywsHZ7BRjM
Juniper: “I-”
67Please respect copyright.PENANALkwbcy5VVT
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAPOWWEu3P07
Juniper: “Huh?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7YbmLpkFPr
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA5NTrzmwaRR
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4QNU97Gxtm
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
67Please respect copyright.PENANASCWMtNPnua
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!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANATv3FMm2ITx
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAjpq6pmgOlI
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
67Please respect copyright.PENANADWz8R8yvjW
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAmvjL7nT0u9
Juniper: “Good idea.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4Pm7dc2Y6Y
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHuw1Zv8ccb
Juniper: “Yeah!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAi9HV8s29zX
Unos: “Nice try!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAjLsVgfawVU
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8KFAcLfqUm
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAlkHdlkTAu1
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAcCFYd26Ez2
Juniper: “Plan C?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA1hShKA68Qg
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAj4mgQG2QUB
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANArIuoXsimlV
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAQvnXvOpbrN
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAWs4kXhtEDZ
June: “GAAH!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAduNhxeaIxa
Danny: “On no!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAtmaQXSRqnc
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAaPwG6fpyRS
June: “Ugh, again!?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAbETmWhcn1f
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?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAgZyrLwgtEZ
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAfZEukBgYQB
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
67Please respect copyright.PENANALVAf75B8XE
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAdLb3kWxqfl
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAB9iIYYTmuJ
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA1IHE6sTThT
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAPfn751eXRh
Juniper: “Hurry!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAyIX1fOcdIa
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAKl90Dzo7qA
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?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAd1mES0Ogu9
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAOhFysE3Djx
Unos: “Tch.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAbGe4dPxHJ5
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAM4tdZvprsF
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAdImgpXGA71
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAlaNBA3kF5m
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAXntvSYwlZ8
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAnr92Btw7p4
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA2gD95BDT7G
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAtgMPdHN8PL
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA9Pffb64OSq
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAbi82sLLJVL
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA6kpvaDiRlC
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAdC8pkJQAhD
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA6cQqZZwSHU
67Please respect copyright.PENANA9z8ypULokC
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAolfNqZe047
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA94KjDHzEWv
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAxtgKsB1xxS
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAnW3NTY1MAS
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA10v6KAQGDG
Unos: “What are you-”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAGzRgxKkUFa
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAqh2gRGeOb0
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJaGc5lshLn
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAkxp2SUGaVY
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAft8iaun8it
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?
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8MVM8dqAfK
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAtRSOuy9ZKg
Juniper 2: “What the-”
67Please respect copyright.PENANANOheibZBh2
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHGpLFTHPwM
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA0tAZo5gksJ
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAV4W2pMMXgP
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANApCDGcqB58R
Fear.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAIhVsZHpXAB
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAUIKNgl3tvb
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAAuljb4xBUH
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAsFJFnfliFI
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAYe9lBiWrYD
Unos: “N-No!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAmJAFHMY6o0
Juniper 2: “Now!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAQL6b3h3YHT
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAtG91cgUcjj
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAKlgbylSh9h
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAtiSmkRG69o
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAidtjqqp3MV
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAD5qY2sfahu
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANARhGtYXPsh4
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAOBaVZVLZbc
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAkgpDbwz8qR
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAD571fMKhY0
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAufmwf6la2K
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAMsLIYR5kFQ
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA1GdAVst8wi
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAUChSOVo29l
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAktIgXi0a4r
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAfbHtAyJjmq
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANATTP7RIXtQP
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA1phxv4wjvK
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAFsT4I7JIvH
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAfMNqTXVCc4
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANASexuN5nYCP
Juniper 1: “Who?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAluTUyrM1Uf
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAUl1oPESKYR
67Please respect copyright.PENANAPFEksgD9h1
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAwFtmo5RTyD
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANALyZ8mGfgqK
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAAvpB2MYP7a
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAiELQ4FcTPs
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAVsIwUmo38c
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAhTF5Yx6pWE
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHhIGCl7Vfb
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAKlpxI7Loac
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAj3yGl13JTj
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAaO2sq3KNrn
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANACsmO3BvYoo
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7XKuZAg95Z
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAFgX33CBfzf
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAV6JCR14ugc
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAmX8nTc0kAU
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA33woIXCDmf
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAxI4rg44bMC
Juniper 2: “Right.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAzhvy5lteHS
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
67Please respect copyright.PENANABGiGPHZgZR
67Please respect copyright.PENANA25OIXboRLr
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAfVoz3MuBn9
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANApXXbYv6cDz
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAaPX5JchU1H
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAsljZzbOGHh
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAAhywneHOQV
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAUG3ksCa4pb
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAcHWQVPw14I
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAEA5CaLP0VX
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA5loMBWVFaq
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAVpAsigBsh5
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAWAYxCCM5Pp
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7pjvo4GPxC
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA3i5WfIefPl
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAMAU59HMCFw
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAbnIPDDj7UH
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHp10uvnZhL
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANApwm5UQ98SW
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAmKeLq6L1Qz
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAsTMJwRbehL
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAEX76mSrkLM
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA1F040PUD6j
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAMj2ul1OLAF
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANARXh0NJrQIc
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4rhusJtTo7
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA6KJ0iBQsA0
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANACmoGB5RwrL
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAuaVF4HrftD
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAYQozCvkuzp
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAhLkjDS02T1
Dos: “Great!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANATY3BdP86dZ
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAr1gwLMOBE7
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8tS8XYXiRz
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAsNVt3hI09C
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANADpqrdpGmKQ
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
67Please respect copyright.PENANATmdJmo2HSG
67Please respect copyright.PENANAu19hUOY8WN
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA3XnFtLXKPh
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
67Please respect copyright.PENANASnSAZGQmtF
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7pXQCJzJVe
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAri9GozO5n1
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAoxt1LKs1JO
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANApwszWGmRbD
The Junes: “Later.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAluwA4cXxBY
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
67Please respect copyright.PENANApUNZBVmQzX
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4iHcJIIu2H
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAGBPx6RTUoO
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
67Please respect copyright.PENANAWj7jmBZlr6
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAtmpup0WjtG
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAkuwW93J5cy
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAm5mae1jzZa
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAl3iGrMLPR8
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAfLVcMk0gC9
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA6yr4WcdzFO
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAM251ULrhw0
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0QshN2fZ1
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAB2k7uDKYf5
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
67Please respect copyright.PENANArU4HQ0zbh4
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA0e6HVZD9Gs
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAMnWB3FrzHz
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA6sgc8N09kb
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAIE8fTeNBMO
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAEeoH2VDxaN
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAaFJhCZWKrj
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHBNi3zcwKV
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAoWn7OXk1j4
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAaxfqC1eqjJ
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAt3bDcb2avw
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAwp80XDWMOR
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANArCU5clwxlU
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qp39mnW5y
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAEp0AddcFdc
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAv8gcmBoHv1
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAtYUtdXqsMt
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ47wZE9Th
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA5sV3PSx8P1
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHGwNQqOSfa
67Please respect copyright.PENANAqCkBirsTJz
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAYYkYU5s9BJ
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAd643vU50KQ
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAn0zKgVAY9w
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAoEMzOcOctq
Unos: “Untie me!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAAXYuIRTw6l
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAOvFXKoNgWt
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAe3MYQitXGV
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAdbERVkwZSY
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAqknuEXnn54
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAxxF4GyEkGP
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA6kvn4n2BEG
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ahgr4BQwU
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAixNlR8grnp
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAL3E3xc1eci
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAy4nooBVr7U
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAxwNdJgdbPq
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANALq26GVee4h
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8I0lqK68pe
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA5UIGT0FOnC
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANACOdhs7sk9o
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAQ09X9YbIf3
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAXMNRjfShLZ
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAlmRSwood6A
Unos: “… Never.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAgS5C4jcVVZ
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAgwx2xTYY7W
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAlb01z138Rq
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA5UX9JqkaQj
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAhbtdrfJe8G
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAlDLr2umX61
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAtKM5OPQafP
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAsMqMzKVA1Z
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAiuMVOgPtVK
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAoHKcpHIWZT
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAIHxlnlq06w
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAmAMH2xfadq
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?
67Please respect copyright.PENANAkhLGQNJbne
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAZpj5T0dtR5
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAkgX9iBmUhC
Dos: “Same.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7NmepcPhQq
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAWMOdq3OAd5
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANALF0qPWPm1P
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAXWkTBMHkwS
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA47y1YU98kp
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAvryqle2WVA
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAZftZB6oaYF
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAP4HAxki8Mn
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAF9iriTmvye
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA68wiExauyF
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4OyLZEPDCd
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAkuKk4EOiHH
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAYT01SLg7mE
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAFsSjZQJGkT
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAtgdw2FQgbt
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHKiFfyTAUU
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA5UD1IW6W3J
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAe1DQASpYJ3
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAd7WNVrNOa6
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAYlK7ekUUPL
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAGHEqXvd1fo
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAeqPu1ne8A6
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
67Please respect copyright.PENANA6ci3CaliIW
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8zOiYtnEIC
“Yeah!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAYap67cL3kg
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAmlRcCJ05qU
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAZYDOEyR3pj
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAnWZniK0c7P
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAyQtDj86gAV
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
67Please respect copyright.PENANABErR6nLsyW
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANASf21PNEPK4
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAWUdRjQzRTK
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAO0Smw5TQUH
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
67Please respect copyright.PENANACTOEBVTPQA
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAH3xGVkibDU
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAmIT6M80CfD
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAQvJGv2pVY9
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA2NEyAKFFFU
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
67Please respect copyright.PENANASyHeKhFApg
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA0Uv9JaVlDV
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
67Please respect copyright.PENANACDLUvyVHQD
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJXaLEXJ6MI
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAWc0rHPCaHa
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA6fo6mlWJSb
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAIL7jVOqsZp
Juniper 2: “What?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAGeu4SglEfS
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAI0I2OFrzDI
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAWGFNTFfWua
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?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA5S5Qw7FaSc
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJuOj9IlpH6
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAazihEairDu
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
67Please respect copyright.PENANABn39bE9LYq
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAfCWPzhNXbv
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAhCeLPoNebQ
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
67Please respect copyright.PENANACAKNyZ6S5Z
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANALbcwD1Y3ag
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAWgFcJpPw6m
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAMx7gTFLY0F
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ0759CiDt
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7i9zJiJYMZ
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAWm8dSNZ0zp
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAcHbUa7nT2A
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANADCpFcxR0sH
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAX5KKL3OOLS
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAr1yYfu6zFP
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAmBOs59dl1I
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANACH2VvPGvFD
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHWBfB9p2XH
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAe0tpQrSyM4
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHYOiygq5o6
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAMVmav2u9Q0
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANApWYxjtMM1X
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAL2RQIYTzMa
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAeF11akpBkm
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAoO27vFpFC3
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAEoMgqqFUjP
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAoonMxF5MOj
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANALGlYTuiZh5
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAGF2GJgWhTd
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAwlvDRkelFz
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAWobPSbDpWc
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAaCZjyBwqqX
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?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8MNRYbuPSZ
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANANgOsNZyDOk
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAnZZxXhIBk2
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANANWiGYbJKxC
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAGsYZ5s0Py5
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAg0jzgSUHwW
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAt2vbIImrho
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAXxTR6QYh6A
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAu1QBnkzabv
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAhg66LGAuNd
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAScizNU0nkv
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAKPB5D9onU3
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHvtxMk91o1
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
67Please respect copyright.PENANASYuvJzm22M
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAOAJcp5ugef
Juniper 2: “No way…”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7XUcXPSHOx
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?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAJXTfnMSVDJ
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANACX6DkzvAGm
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAAlHkXEH4Dp
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAZSPowGgzku
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8gGTQrOgS4
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8lJUZ8it1y
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANARNCBu8eVjJ
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA70DlpD2B5W
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAFXtzedisp4
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAjNfBAA9ect
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAM14HBqSMU9
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA06TkTGJ2y7
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAvSqrA36rE0
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAEiydTChsWe
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y8fH4F5lF
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8abxieT8wk
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAKmn6bBxylc
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA3F4VvTmFFC
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAZ81lRsYa4s
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANATNGWJbW6bN
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAwxdfprvTRM
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAsjqhiWoyhk
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAGDDuGU928z
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAAPvjnOxMhu
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANANIWP5Zg2Nq
Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAh1DPJmfy91
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAHV1BeLfKWe
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAqZiT8FyjVE
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANALcqburnrhl
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAIHxAhUmpuD
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAchGMCxZRap
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAt4pDBGWonV
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAxM16g2kjVq
She says as she pats his head.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAFcQdlSwevo
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAgdkkfAWsVP
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAsRW1kVsans
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAu7zHZ8q2jA
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA3dNKVnhYva
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAweuRfBrh3j
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAB1AdIEHssg
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA2pqd5h5Qw6
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAXVkZIEli3s
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAI1qSqdLrDU
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAG2mkULT7cW
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA10AeBmsxJ7
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAfJAoH5TjT1
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAKIrZuHncPj
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA4SrhTXK2fM
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAXnv1Lc86EP
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANACwGikkfWQO
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!?
67Please respect copyright.PENANAO2VgZB8inH
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAOm9GkurkKI
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAggnMCTmbCx
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA7QLxxHeOp6
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA9B9KzGbIQ6
She had no friends here.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAnjS6wL0utO
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAgfsw0SpFVq
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAghbJH3H623
She was… alone.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAonryon5UiC
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAMQpEPODy1u
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
67Please respect copyright.PENANAaBKLwYviCZ
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAp9qDvWKjxU
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
67Please respect copyright.PENANAZhMpKeyVYG
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAS5D0y3DAg2
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANATkcGeK6us1
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAyNG5RoDDDu
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAxhAAdrNLKg
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
67Please respect copyright.PENANATL00NkBcqP
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.”
67Please respect copyright.PENANA8MacsrMtN7
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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAR7P2Zyctbx
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ4lEXRcGD
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
67Please respect copyright.PENANAcBfYVLQm1A
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.

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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAp8GTRI3Rj5
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
67Please respect copyright.PENANAksQbwecHyd
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAojU5l8YbuJ
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA5KGTW4jw04
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
67Please respect copyright.PENANA2pIYhU5t6V
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAfnn981Q8dA
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAY6JEGjZ5C2
- 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.
67Please respect copyright.PENANAxQHZhDLl4c
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
