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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxmYW4GYBu
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdYjG15N9Y
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3GGO0XQB8
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxi0bMyZtG
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS202SjC8BT
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkh1Iv3mSn
Unos smiles before answering.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzxWKcCU3v
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQuwmjwAqN
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE6aXNkPjs
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaofe18mhV
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksh43vZAkP
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3jDeelm4h
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP6xjnUkQf
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6mefn3bjq
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz3WvkQec7
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSFTekMkep
Danny: “June, wait!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ671S2j7svg
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlESjIcs7qm
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2opZklg7jO
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabR2uwguAJ
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ815asNl1R
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHW4UJkudP
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt1imGpq99
Danny: “Whoa!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsisIm3Y30R
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNtii3LulS
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94YlXIYsyF
Juniper: “Ready.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFoSzRE6UA
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVqNuxOeSs
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nXoaub951
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7PYCoBsSm
June: “GAAAH!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf9kjd4bHJ
Danny: “June!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3mRzL01lW
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELR9Lxl1BT
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuzxfQNTjg
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIxtw0OYvJ
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ8qalRpxB
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASRp74KaAs
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozD3YkTNm0
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEUzIf6aTe
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuM9BkKAT6
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUviQK4niQ5
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9RU4UhfO1
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxhO0j1gG3
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaHbUBvPwA
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX3Bm4P8EV
Juniper: “I-”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2xckBalSB
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0Srv9G0d1
Juniper: “Huh?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROKuT7CAZc
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdWPZFuAma
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi765ItrD6
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4PAkiecUl
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbzkb2CtHQ
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgac8yjACEg
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMkttM1OlZ
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ67783WXDt
Juniper: “Good idea.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4udFzhJvZ
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1urdVvw2h
Juniper: “Yeah!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjOTYizzU9
Unos: “Nice try!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GdsN6o5Du
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTuFJXcg0x
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN27GfBZikd
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqjH7VwiYI
Juniper: “Plan C?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIlpNuJkSE
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhp97EWv44
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvHyMMixWz
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKSJl8SpYn
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnliZRJoF6x
June: “GAAH!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgFHTd7ttJ
Danny: “On no!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhbHp6YIMG
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfba3TyYBTM
June: “Ugh, again!?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4DrUuMMQt
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUsFcIyCIm
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN2mqFcS7S
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQATR8y0D4Y
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyT34W7wpd
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc8IPAS0ZM
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ898Xg3kMkp
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUNTfX19Dp
Juniper: “Hurry!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbICKf0dL2v
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokozCZUXz1
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZl4tRP1DO
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxoKqxfevT
Unos: “Tch.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd7P2wqXNs
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxsHDTilx4
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumdfPSCFYY
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1qj4a9IXp
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oSjY6MsaL
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6z5Pq7kXE
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ygh9OnXnU
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV253Fsg0nS
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZaMU8semT
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNySuM1GnA3
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQLhgHw4Oz
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8V4vczMJw
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGT4SGpEWN
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTRnLBd97C
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA9GRkEOR0
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH5zS6GluA
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV75riHi6m
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nvf4xJGsD
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTt8w8ZEvg
Unos: “What are you-”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN05aPO4YpH
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OlFHb0cUZ
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa3u4B5yTR
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RkJNBQQlK
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCR7J6jkiv
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?
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjVGRbOpxl
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS3gF1KF6s
Juniper 2: “What the-”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6wLfcxGFd
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvivSoLgA1h
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY1lFEQxFs
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgauurRLN5
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgErSWfoFm8
Fear.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQFmbS0C02
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBZ4PoSdiq
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z0NITXUad
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBuvQ6FQ3w
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZzIov53v7
Unos: “N-No!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbtbrpCP2m
Juniper 2: “Now!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgl8kW437f
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAPkliFUFA
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef7TOWwZYe
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp6NKGNHAu
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8tgIzs7SE
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgzbd4wbSR
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc3qLBwL4s
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoLY2DOd4f
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nn07yDKtB
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHErLvYoMe
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g9ccWlQnp
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVYW4BLEwZ
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyFKmJutR4
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrRcMvC6BO
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFZHIgHtE7
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwByqPaO0uo
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr8lsdh1wp
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbhuRxCxQo
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFhqrYjcFK
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZes7KdH19Q
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviTBHf3EkF
Juniper 1: “Who?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLVp7GkX3I
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQFi8wQoXK
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3SA3YhInd
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvyzxlKLYm
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZpiM46It6
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN1T1A6GQ6
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrNS8Zb5Gt
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvUru6Iww9
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2FfZi8VrX
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N9xSFt8Bb
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B9uj9KfZj
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC4IgD4vPm
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzH7vKQZSz
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop1RJDpqDD
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEktGmvJTo
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Wyy0dt1o
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKiznpJZgb
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9gJiRJzmY
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3nu3Aj6Yi
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxHbH0rpXB
Juniper 2: “Right.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIjJAEUtWJ
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsCSIcjgOZ
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PSpx9kSX5
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HBqX2eeQp
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVk28HCvPW
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3IYFfHUIA
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrPDPiD2Cy
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTTbjvL7Jg
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7tGEhZ6yM
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MNzSUggkG
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwptbroTW2
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxoAIt9BhW
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUj5Luc4M9
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAlaaqAXnQ
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7xp1bpxek
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfgKacOCEr
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡton3zaJYDd
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJF1fd3Hn5
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN9QFv1wsC
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNwF2zzBhT
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjk16quutx
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4s1JjxSrd
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKgdWjxvvH
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cXnYlInVG
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPAma6xMor
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDfOh2ROD7
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZALEcYDcr
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXOCEds6uw
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvtoZFqlyH
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88FhcumzVf
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgHu5bbLZK
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5oTLChRoV
Dos: “Great!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFoANoMdi6
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7InRZocSub
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPex5MqE4gm
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvU4wltZ0a
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVWGG8DfJy
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gIFRWuARv
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKi3Pz7vFg
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCcSkLUMjM
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH5WYkJLH5
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cWvbPYFja
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxw6kYIOZp
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBjZMLLbN9
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KeRWCIJvO
The Junes: “Later.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUuiY0uHtQ
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8iw4YefXc
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCducaeKLQ
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO3iieRe7T
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YuM6epwLK
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgrM0Rhxiw
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3RGXhkcgx
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi4dTwG0X9
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp4u6LyBP5
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I4Ef4rmkJ
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOSc4GPSsA
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ8b3WZfEk
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILHH9lhUZe
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaujrln692S
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJPju7n0tP
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20M4clOS4j
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6Xl6IEqMd
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDPabJ7NQc
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrIhGcn9tl
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFBGDqrjNw
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHUmvDPExU
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b1omnA3H4
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB53uCGIUV
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoE1G1oEdo
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw5WW5InqX
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiMq8qIzde
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRZtvwvb0f
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdB1Lcduic
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuZlZ0TnNw
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJzftUlowj
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkazrRdTi9
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eF5PsPmdk
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMStKRoVIO
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4IoWYnPM7
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Mss2JNzE
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqPyMh3CYw
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvMyJLmI4J
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25sX2gOAXh
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkZKeovfxT
Unos: “Untie me!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK80Zh1E42n
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA4fytgypf
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVmY4lc1P0
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rjpww9kL6
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfVhGzcXuW
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwYxX8UHHC
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaaPxyLuUL
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2DFdnGuwh
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoank17P5ng
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SFOhAqI60
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1Ql2KorWq
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MAtHpfop9
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOiyx9XDCo
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZGjBbT6Cg
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtuGjwJ2vh
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8eYO73uC3
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2633pZ6Wn2
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKHCGJRUTM
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1aERCGJhs
Unos: “… Never.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LiQkAQYzp
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaTk2vxPcv
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0IlGOrV1V
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy9g3ZFlsf
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6xC1JP9Zd
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJOAyo3qmj
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3ADPXUjZq
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP4VkW5hda
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJjHxGu77S
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gI59HlfrE
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ493eGgqvca
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBHn19F3r8
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?
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00NY2sa4Zf
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSv2nJH0KE
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAChmh6bUB0
Dos: “Same.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFkczCYnuh
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4P4eAhMmH
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS36ZpMBLY
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6LhFXMsjn
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKx9jKuZok
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJTTaMnY6Q
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAJ7U3FCtP
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2HzwQRRSX
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWeHtR689G
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSduxquf5gl
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DUndH5kwr
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7z4jtUwBA
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmXlhhj1Kx
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5Xn0mLFLb
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4RMFQ6K3J
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAvdsyFgzF
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXQYh6VGdK
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwaJrJaVZ1
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX33Tpl3GK
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBuEhN4TTF
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y1jfkO11a
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiezaTef408
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDtebaxlzl
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxeRrNbAls
“Yeah!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybsZpgV8UC
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3QdnFuR3P
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybBjGC79SN
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yP3DtmfhG
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUWXkUJYU5
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkXWyCR5Yd
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWXxXbAsmG
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoWbWH8pf4
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXnQzy7a2u
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzBv3n0fM3
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z127jJUKX
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AeV8jp21n
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF9mSStnL6
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmidnJdZRwe
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuMDdlD2SG
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtFaCECc1k
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xrHBW3Vvj
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO08hmKQH9G
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKMP2kt4HG
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM2mY2FQzV
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPg9cE67lb
Juniper 2: “What?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6pebXcbhZ
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrjOxpVgSe
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQe6pGoD5q
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPguBarLJAp
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXBQYEst46
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJccoJUelEk
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqsqho4sLG
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6mSqFGmin
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL8N5f7pxR
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k6es9Nsbo
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N5Jq1pQlv
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJWFxEVyVs
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQsFpjW6hN
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBpHtuZjF7
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6b4QCpIEY
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepEF1vsEQT
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiI72tCgry
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLsCe8MLfU
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8wOmVbzdw
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBR3yyoSN2
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LgZ5dudqX
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyc0Q6FAW2
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlxTolMcDY
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbyuW138C8
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqJ79XQKyb
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D3O4gq1eh
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4FMfc2Kwi
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1imMypHz1n
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9D7sb8TFq
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRMadW9fBf
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoOkaeKG36
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DQUjNuQho
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNqDdvxHko
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbB4SwxHET
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFKhharjL7
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOXBPv31VG
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g0RpHUszr
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX31eDlPXz
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DZGp3tJce
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXURJiwtDa
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrXwiVVV0c
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PNGOWePPf
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PDjU5kBAb
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacJMkjYPVX
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb8IWeGxkd
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqaMfuwkNM
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWoX7OKCO3
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfXpRUb8FC
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6U3awPnkH
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6ItLB6H4Z
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEbm6z8ozn
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQgxXVmOzj
Juniper 2: “No way…”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEybTHLsJty
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWmR91gwFR
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCkNHvqw27
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJdESSsvb4
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l9T8EDMz6
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6ZvRooiyl
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC6LldKAcC
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBb1CsIgsE
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1EtQ6CkMu
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1nDnUc1pU
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZE5zOKPhQ
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4Ge1K3ivW
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xAYIOoQKz
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyWt0ELKzq
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav6D1BUmt0
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV911LJu5H
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tjSL2Z7NS
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v119J0NXD
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA5YTl9DrH
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.

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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6txVXa2lMS
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle8PNLzz5i
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrPkr3V9r7
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8chZ1qRmJ5
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3WnsmrkTi
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnDtvHCE8c
Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxU0XsW2xg
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCngGhgtTW
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGXvEjf8pf
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOI2bX5X4B
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbJUho9mx5
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg1Uvjcbn1
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rZO2fja8D
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm0fSfeU4C
She says as she pats his head.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqVNKGMDRJ
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeiK5AEZmw
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9LpVNVg3n
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrirOGiNVP
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaQ7nKpJdM
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CsuImQtXT
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxtfO4EvMk
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5QFDmRd9b
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6cp7VRh2U
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qJ9nvlsj3
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yHXKF77wK
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKAVw5Ksh5
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BEjIbB4sM
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijVqvGN9JA
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUkDADDiNe
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGC5oQFWc8
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRa4azwPxD
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VuMHL0ybN
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!?
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8REveicxzD
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5JO5zwBkb
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNEwtrLYcm
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu59a4RldJF
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDljZMef9Z
She had no friends here.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSVXocyXBa
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXl3Qw0odR
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX6WXl44Ny
She was… alone.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx26ESAgF8B
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHbk0rJbiC
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsVX0GP1o6
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkte9Rp1tk9
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjD0BGnykx
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYBAPgRsOt
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOaQlHGum6
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ9wvtoSOc
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcA8ROHmf1
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS8nVxNwXs
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Uv5GCjfzw
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AUfmDaEVV
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUXdB2R3d9
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqaEFox1SU
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6U8pTEObz
To Be Continued
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0brdGDMR6S
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLRAGl5D6x
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70ehQ6RiPp
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwaPfCX2cT
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7zqwKju6M
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDW8ZYhJKY
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtwSvjAInT
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXntRbFhrdA
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbLNHUaIow
- 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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogeeztYbv4
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
