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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaY48KIEAG
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yJfR6F2FN
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZX7uJXYhX
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakkmmJvCVY
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz86JLx18mm
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94dlVitEMz
Unos smiles before answering.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWQrIx5RP6
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09DeeS9B6R
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZfdWsr6qW
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nLRNNS1TF
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhivbAfRi1S
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ4R0UQaKx
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuhFOmIqGV
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4CUDY2hzN
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdaNJeZRg6
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswhhOdvCBK
Danny: “June, wait!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKlQ8a9Cnp
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNd3hcl7pw
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWfg1iq0AS
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo7Xo5B78o
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwV0zelTAc
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ZYpWeREN
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGBRsKxB04
Danny: “Whoa!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcORFgsKFP
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNGsmaLRTO
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbMxQrcvNM
Juniper: “Ready.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAWCDrGuFs
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxoDsJCZSK
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUIUbV7Nxx
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVuYEN4IT2
June: “GAAAH!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6P91c8n5Q
Danny: “June!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7BQjT8xBC
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw8jIQN13Q
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQccW4QmhS3
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFbY9oiwNb
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYopvMOOdZ
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpdjZGCoLb
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpOjCPPrN9
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXawc1jTJEA
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycvA1gZyPH
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ol4pLJn5p
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlrGV1YS9A
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8v9KJOzX8
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdg9U8wAPa
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhforh8PHDR
Juniper: “I-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrnb0AmuVx
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2su5H2FEg
Juniper: “Huh?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvxXmj19x6
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mXwex5OHP
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSnh7QjMbo
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv5YHGgHQD
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!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9PdPaWRqu
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87ogmyZfBE
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVOtT5Elgo
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V8ckNbm30
Juniper: “Good idea.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kwAAnQC89
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvmdqQntdV
Juniper: “Yeah!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UdesE5gwu
Unos: “Nice try!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCThxQhcpQg
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSHQO2tmz0
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8PXWXWAFQ
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy875fwbbfz
Juniper: “Plan C?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxcc6D5TGs
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrKZCc0uy5
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJczxKWlLoT
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmQ5saT5Hy
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9O53WCowJ
June: “GAAH!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvJPEP3MFU
Danny: “On no!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuVAOrrfpV
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYpf0dDroS
June: “Ugh, again!?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsjZvltrOi
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?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jZPQOFGDv
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GjQaOj7ts
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnwR7dCJwV
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiHH5AAk3V
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGswcgAS4E
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wAlnFl01I
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxYXYvm3Ca
Juniper: “Hurry!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWn7uqlZBP
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49fDTIs2bE
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?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iPi0gurjm
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mmu54GN0d
Unos: “Tch.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gwcsF5KR2
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN2KIH10q1
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKAXAKbHE6
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNdQGjIcke
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4xAD0DB60
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YfGr8yivv
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeodGAuUN9
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHzNknOPpZ
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA3ycSnHxQ
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueG2jrVsKY
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1QizrUK2p
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56qpCW2kJX
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk7I1UkdXu
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJuQfILKRB
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTckSdH64q
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMxKZeqKX0
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwCv1QNABK
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbJxcL19Xf
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCIBerrCmj
Unos: “What are you-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONmN5T6Xaw
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdvpKOOtSt
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9SlBWOAQG
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9VSr77t3Z
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqOikDtC04
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?
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxIsdtnEQg
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjeLDu7mxK
Juniper 2: “What the-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpchiXmZyq
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKUlg2510H
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHbaGx9fpR
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcitlHjQUZZ
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpaIXmHR7r
Fear.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmeAK97BNO
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsFcdyYFXh
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pL3tyLYD1
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsuVaguHu5
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GxgiTRe3M
Unos: “N-No!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqXNuU3zRI
Juniper 2: “Now!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuseVywkqN
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6ySVmUCov
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJa1e6SPTp
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH3MhwaDep
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwnPjkF9kH
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMt4jRiDlG
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIekVrY1rjE
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyez6OxHnB
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr86KbeuA3Z
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnFO1VYTZq
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs76hqFafpX
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEQcEUbEAF
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1KKxit65A
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv7ZwdIg4n
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQzFZk6smB
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1656LuZvIo
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rHyKDJKee
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PISIWYtv5
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgMdJmtybp
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVreBDqoUj
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnsO754bEB
Juniper 1: “Who?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatJyLhGTFc
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEPwITOZ5K
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAtGHlkCYY
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKSKxYnZAU
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEYXbMUCFC
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCByNCqhkh
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftpdLCMUeV
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mgDqCykhm
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS75564dhg
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0wWoF9FIl
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb37776BUt
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeeCxv8GcH
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRIyUdFGMQ
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v6fxrg8Ve
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uwNSO0VzL
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM64VOfxMQ
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rVXnATmwR
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTb4rRgIFB
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnqkKbhLtO
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFaX1xQbVr
Juniper 2: “Right.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7Gnsgr2MT
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKchNUB5wuW
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B7E4zsP9T
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgUUrF1jMj
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5dZwU2qnX
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbqdnI4bo0
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd7qTgo9RN
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQGOo58TXv
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllTX7Nogs0
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaSAS8rf93
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaGyeTEBav
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXgVWFZKrh
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ1xf8BND3
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALzbDh4RZl
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon9EY4TLGp
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0AGURdEZC
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQDgHEircy
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlFEsVnkX8
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPiAnsVKAZ
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnq7kWMGsT
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr1vKi36Iy
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspGEH3iOfg
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXq9xhQ8yp
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuuRt6qs8e
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpuJ8eYxqR
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRz6XuQC6e
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaUqfMMHDi
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKja7f8JmM
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jibCWRTnn
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxNGCK8PeQ
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN88DAKIeLp
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8KJ9dj9kh
Dos: “Great!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgHRJ4p6Xq
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhsO8kK5Qu
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHy5GiJqko
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbThJeq3VJZ
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsPcqDOy9y
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5gPUGQe9J
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFxJXdVPn5
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqujBHfmvdo
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWkjlkwAbb
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUgMghW8f1
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”

Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EzosdAVQF
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtHsPvNTpc
The Junes: “Later.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3AQsYYefx
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkhETPfSZ5
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9PUK01FmV
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLovVhK2MFB
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Pg8cT5ID
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GJ4TwaOJh
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr81AnxSf4K
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo59OPiAGDY
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hjReRXlnM
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTVDVc1TJX
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1H7jhYw48
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZtjKvWxjt
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxxmbGdTCn
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTpePJbOMg
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbEfGY6OhV
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO1Uy8rTQ0
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ8Tp1KCyu
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio9UKPRIXS
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfUXLRITRl
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71fpEe9Fvs
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUsBiVoBmv
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvlzRzH8Me
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGMvulg48c
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF5jGgxAjL
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMzPfDhHQ3
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ121BY5W9VB
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhfw1WeIhP
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSyAA9FrmC
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocLcvkwS4D
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJIGxG1CWU
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpu156DC8D
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rcrtEZThN
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S7S8Hf2T2
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhMcSkDrLs
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5lGTayOsn
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpEYCRZSlh
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUE9XoXz3V
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjC08g7Ilj
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgPp2pLC5W
Unos: “Untie me!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2MEChDgdj
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2vIUAzGmO
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HwGBhILs3
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK87ZSFL3Y
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg5rzXhUX0
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MmmpUehWK
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT0npOluPr
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOb7ADxUPd
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLULIyIyFx
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyDwG4EFna
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfYKRBPAKz
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRH9WR4Csh
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEtfiQyz0N
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3kfXkxsOb
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFlqcqIFVB
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGHo1a0Ie3
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4IU0P5Lpj
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOpc1XZ8pR
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs59obTCej4
Unos: “… Never.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftf0j1ZB1I
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoj2IfBVTO
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmSN8VJJcA
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaWjruobVc
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrjrrNxdA6
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq78w3UAVGn
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLm0an8De8
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1Omka1l8q
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR50VuIwaF
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3aE1CsVSb
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2M5COdrLv
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUxwpoDfh4
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?
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qpw8nSRwA
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauX1WWBpUQ
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NG5pY3aHA
Dos: “Same.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBZQ36csrZ
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq8DeV3Kuz
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpJOxI1P4E
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepjoAAC6qv
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFf7Cbg6Gc
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULb1f7svq8
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93z4HuPKjP
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4oCbUM5FM
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLPAiXzVXN
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1YPW5Cek0
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiB7yn8qxj
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSDHCjHuyS
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHZzxKO5FX
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELQ7AhzIyf
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8DhKeginN
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mjUwN8M9A
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7EWYZuhe5
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRwSIMQlhW
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaiWNabekS
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIx5KH3xw3
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ28IkOkE0
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIHt1trDqg
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaQdGtfzoM
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx1NGicLbv
“Yeah!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFM7kS09z8
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLGKjhVy9a
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmobB3Q5hOY
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL4XRkRcW6
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYJ3GPSNa5
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mXc03FQAO
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfmD4npO11
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFVXyjmbJt
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjSE4OFnmj
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE2VP7jq8p
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jUFsgpDa9
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pVdagnssR
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx709NuLfXw
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AR0qJRb5j
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVjehyKozk
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nw4H29lCR
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZciXYAcitU
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaesK3zTJEb
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVoaduQmXE
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIAsTaFAod
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqnojKmwof
Juniper 2: “What?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFzku0LJ2H
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdN02NoWcP
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvPkAUUXOT
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?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaueVkVPAB
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0CZm5FWom
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YABqhroxo
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cKb1vjAHK
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8utO1ojoyN
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo5Hr6MSqz
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU7kLofQt3
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNci3gT9Tfb
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAVaRr9PIA
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyCIzHivOl
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwEjhlq1E0
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgnmHz8phG
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKQJD6S6aq
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1sLVqXDTa
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj4CyVmSDD
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU2QiGE4HL
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGLZ5ndGR3
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEAQVb5zkp
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl0plBQlI1
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8tl0ALsXR
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaJzi09Wz5
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKdYF9FuRQ
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyOCJBiWuv
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYUVKNezHX
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8geCH4lf4Q
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwuomtxNEG
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrJJ5fCGzF
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVnEcOBypV
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxO121Ucpc
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQSAebMXlf
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBdD5n9GsQ
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoZuzW5KNC
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8wAQvSJ6z
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNVNCYSupY
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?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q9M0nQV1t
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXC5SV18m7
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvOI4Hgruk
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6piIQQFig
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn9x4pzI4q
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWXUHD1fZN
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H4FjxXr3Y
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLCqQ4p1Eo
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwtDtlORtP
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyIuezvFlH
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rR2auYDUS
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu38SDAZ1hS
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAfud37C9w
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW9foqEkRv
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtnRmhKR6V
Juniper 2: “No way…”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVwZB46RxG
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?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ElQfIOkdB
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby2T2rULMJ
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog3qPiDcuu
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9awd660758
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3loHWknxO
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE61brq1zW
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZyp02s2nL
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqMGJI5HN9
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw0o6Xi3xR
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ5l5GJKRc
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtEoNpRDt8
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDqigcyozK
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbOjTuJdqC
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgwjHDPsCK
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hjO2n1nrZ
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBSwguw92C
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE8FCFOvt9
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1T3e5m4s3
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BZQhZbNRi
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkbo7x7fdF
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aHbpyZTp3
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmVpD6ukAB
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvgnnYPOAw
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4OoNf83kz
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyoKE687RS
Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiG8qr8YvR
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaZc11sPuk
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO0s20XoGG
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwMRD3hiyp
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmnJFqNfIO
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe8PWBqAPd
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv03cKY1lS
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0gKKbENNA
She says as she pats his head.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQrnssLVIr
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPI4T3fxXk
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y3XLX8YPy
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz9nYNbgpB
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxdeiXBLNF
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOacDgjzrIi
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUBtKfdOM6
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEez3liMdyD
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZIiLGbwKP
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuMGAdBLg9
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5cmtx2AuT
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AudOwYoBX
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vWL8keVuo
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwp6jh6cb1
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH22meVUsc
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNin9fBlma
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3drWAnWnA
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMUQDvdBPC
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!?
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhDBd95ewk
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxv3yRyWoq
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhY6oEUhqG
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuWxg36bAn
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHesrD3L5t
She had no friends here.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0c4SujRhz
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Mp7rzhyD
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoFpPcbi3p
She was… alone.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuBHoXpUlo
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pJdWYBkxa
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR6vYuTAw9
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxY6MpqQHn
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW0BnvuN3O
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3084nqNFu
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51DbW6eYBO
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByiedWCmtf
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8xJ07KKeE
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmmt78jaFB
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi050B6DMUG
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTC7VVC6Dm
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcEYVahZz6
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR1SQgg9yC
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIhJ84zBni
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2WYMXCMLS
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq6gR1tPEI
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVAF5f5SUX
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskZw1pxEwx
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQdi5np3O7
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpr6e6PhZQ
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pq8019Hxs
- 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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVroXISySh
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
