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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAE5OsP3a7Ky
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA3YJmfr1Bb1
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y0yWxwgBz
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdRN78e8wW9
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANASVioROoVtS
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmoZJw5lW92
Unos smiles before answering.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWy2DpZ0rQ0
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAEtukaO8cFI
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA4ooG8bnJNl
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1EbgTciuZ0
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAa8i5bOqShl
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgq8IDxaWde
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANApn4jFpvipu
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgMfE81EvI9
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAwdFXGIlKcL
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAS1bae1xIcD
Danny: “June, wait!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA69f2VXsZOA
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAT8Y6syYBeQ
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAMezVCRq7Ll
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmMIsbbJETt
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAD9lSBi22Rq
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQI6RUJdKwA
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAafijyjbNeq
Danny: “Whoa!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAn7rCGUMMh7
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA8EuUMeXiYk
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAz2oAeNaPDl
Juniper: “Ready.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdQV9orXCrn
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAG6mr5a8zsG
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAA4S1ZdLjYR
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAj8Jm40syJI
June: “GAAAH!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAd7S17S8ONx
Danny: “June!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA57XtnZiB1Y
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAoRZpU98c3H
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQmNZlpgK4o
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAVPAHC4NF6W
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAu3fM3Ajrdj
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAR7lmCv8LQs
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAsbSfuHfRgy
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAFRLbbcNoJT
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAY17LrzL8aT
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmhil8TercC
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAw3rkBDUU0X
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAGNaiQTKj03
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAzs686S69k6
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdPwpk0Grv0
Juniper: “I-”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyQou3jYVqG
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAy7mERofmiY
Juniper: “Huh?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAspE86DSBc2
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZV41omC8H
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
138Please respect copyright.PENANADKUf8WFXBh
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
138Please respect copyright.PENANAXKaHjhzjaV
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!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAnGXjAJEsOP
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANACibmsocsnF
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9PrBUAAf96
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWgQa6QNI5K
Juniper: “Good idea.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAD6CHDJYiYN
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAD4s0W2xAet
Juniper: “Yeah!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAXTP2lxfQfH
Unos: “Nice try!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhXFk7zMYid
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAy7MENeR9wU
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjhHoqen7fB
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAxPAjPZIWOD
Juniper: “Plan C?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAF7S6UDaq6R
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOmVJawo729
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAs69B7H25rg
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbaD8oy4IUG
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbZXyhLUcEU
June: “GAAH!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAGPQpgP01Qq
Danny: “On no!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4HvyZCZiV
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
138Please respect copyright.PENANALu4aWaIUAo
June: “Ugh, again!?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA3T1AlpxZZp
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?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAoNCDCHzizf
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAywNP50f3sT
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQNbvl4Fk0l
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ34aiko9c
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
138Please respect copyright.PENANATquwmdvso0
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAcelXYhV6PT
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYgKCkVLDQ7
Juniper: “Hurry!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAid5BX2Q3kY
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA5IZnftDUeR
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?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgYp10N76Ch
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJXzDFK7V16
Unos: “Tch.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANATYybjArcpu
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAsfZ6q8nJHz
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAXPDbt0a9wn
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZs4zZNkgSb
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAziPiMTJhKd
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAsgnQ5A8Rrk
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhIP1qnugBH
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAowF2m4AIJe
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAeK7OpCncas
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANATrKcTmz1Pr
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0kMqY4U05e
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYKqeOaX0eu
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIXkol4ulcn
138Please respect copyright.PENANAloXV7VlCHH
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
138Please respect copyright.PENANALigoGxWfvt
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAGB3C6nTp5d
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIPtigt1Kit
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAf0gILzC7IO
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIhRM6SzBLH
Unos: “What are you-”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAXozFKJ0LlY
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAMleQYvWPWh
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAviLYQ1hFqE
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAHgJnpAeyta
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAV680M39O7Y
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?
138Please respect copyright.PENANAK7g0dh4GwV
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAEb1kUuZOeu
Juniper 2: “What the-”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAECjPJSsMVD
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlugVoyS5Cn
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANALzxGYADmVQ
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAuS7PQ9rSS1
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAffGRNzflC9
Fear.
138Please respect copyright.PENANATe9E3o8Bn9
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdF9bsG64WE
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAT7fMrvuQsS
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9ihyDCnz1H
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAnS1zC5OWGV
Unos: “N-No!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvi9N6WwO1v
Juniper 2: “Now!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANArGRXP56axW
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkekPsSzkQt
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkTTi6Zpx2o
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA5NDSe1Co3T
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbNIECLwNAo
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAnIYCyqhTiX
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAU5dJxC7LGO
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAUAO3K5Zs0L
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWAKPc8eNim
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhzN5XbHjpH
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAAwcDcuGp3Z
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAUkUrnHAW5R
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA8cRtS6TJJO
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA3umvHpBTon
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAByQ75Xigh7
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANARUXm1iIavO
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA4tO24odtFx
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAoUNQ487sG7
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAsfX8hHL8X3
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAL5OMBDIJhD
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgOcrclSSOO
Juniper 1: “Who?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANATnabAurTwG
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAfT1bmTvfy8
138Please respect copyright.PENANAns24V0YGrJ
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA2Iw4PAfedb
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAwPTJ6iLxds
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbev0ykzt9C
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvbcGDaf1HI
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAwpbzyBxyQh
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIn8oCpGwiR
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWQQDhi3Ixb
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANARxYorAF3Z6
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAVEIs4YcrVV
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANApoq5bGOWKa
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAnNXmkCcADx
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANASgQQFkC9fL
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANASESUf1dnSs
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAadYQeXGRMG
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA3E12oc2MF4
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1VLRYJ3X41
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlWeeBM4Ghs
Juniper 2: “Right.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAEvyZ7nOHpL
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAj6E44fYIuo
138Please respect copyright.PENANAny9xypOICb
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANARQZzZGZWsV
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAStfRFIkLWp
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZQtEbdmgUQ
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAMTXUOeXatb
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyEmPmey4vl
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgUXseQKlDh
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1dmDh5gVg8
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAAaygQn4sTO
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAh1HJuDCt02
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAECo2SmzjSL
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1biKWs3eU2
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgT36czX07X
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAytEtwl8QKc
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA5otfvTk2an
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmhUDOYdrYs
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1dmWPnQ8QJ
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjpOoy64X84
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIgmKQci4cS
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANArezJCG0hqB
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANALfl0TcQyOu
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdufeJJAAui
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlbUrDdeEC7
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAa0ZqRz9vWd
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA3df565Y62j
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZh7MnjDGp1
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAPXJ05WCbcg
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAVB7coOPb9A
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAG5FpTBRP01
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZVKQb0wNDU
Dos: “Great!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA2EK5QXltdE
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAS2Zt1jdq2p
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA4eQyhyou3y
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAqdm1Vl3Ga6
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAFZIStJWZDU
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0KTQ7SN8A
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6RPVW4EvCA
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmF1TOI6eF6
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
138Please respect copyright.PENANArI0qT4ztor
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAUBHYNXIYmy
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAadrJTMMSW4
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAV2xmYV8Bhr
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAS4OieTfpn9
The Junes: “Later.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAFjz9vZZKzi
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAPIHF8xw1Z7
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWfHLQbkPWI
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA4QZKsNqXQU
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkC5PNPe9gr
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAXjWvOIVboA
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA517VsXsW7P
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYRCgTMUFYU
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAuh3yHZc8A3
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA90roqH5CVd
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAn25Xl0qexh
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANABnJ598wPn1
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAI8KYIssTSd
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAsgZlGbkDq2
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjBYNIsjaNr
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAKpK21Tj4Rb
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAu5PNzdnMtN
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANABmT5UMlfYT
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAep7VKcROyA
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA43D7cOFgG3
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANACDD6ibvd0L
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6tLYYY9QQD
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZVv4lqGzk2
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAU6smUXzrwR
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAle5OPxjQuo
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlfFEsY8sUF
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAriYZcnDtSe
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANApIz5F2VOkO
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAXUvmtsbw7Z
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAc1DzRYx9cT
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAVxwRkjUD80
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6AYdHNxat0
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAk2erNBewXu
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAM0NVs7xnDC
138Please respect copyright.PENANAaTKwlbqGIS
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAtGB7wvrL77
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ3bHo14Ib
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAqLlKCQ4o2Y
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAscYP1bCSXQ
Unos: “Untie me!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ0sR7ZKbI
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOV16audxy1
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbP4sR9i7kY
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhAmjiMibQX
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA7BuGIDT32f
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0qzF6Tiuc
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAl2pFAZ70nT
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAo4vgV3epW4
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYPHNCt5Vun
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAiDu9wH1FDE
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAfhQvAviudT
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIIoC2Ja48N
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAfwnixUViF6
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAS3VV4dYtZi
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAwBuBwjqVsR
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZmr9hnHykz
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANALEaov7mFDh
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAtZsbdME2ac
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAVQcAIZT80q
Unos: “… Never.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjWeNOWSU8U
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANApZ7FfG9Jd4
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhd5D0eoNK2
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAL7Gf4xWqQ5
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6cK9LG9HUQ
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAwlYsKMeqmY
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAtJKUrudJy6
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAfnkiGJMOUT
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0uhdTDBerj
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9QQhz3jSRQ
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAwIgSwDuEJ2
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAD5Vls6ZZbC
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?
138Please respect copyright.PENANA46683RU2kV
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvjAH9qLgqk
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA7EKi580K3H
Dos: “Same.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANABf5IUN0jo1
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANALBBTTYPwD6
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWQyK18eJB8
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlI1EBbcB7M
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANApwKYeKvgGX
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAFw8n7WSJzT
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANACmUSBiyVaQ
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9FdQ3nNixY
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAAy8ZKk4RgH
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAUpFzSWgKC0
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA8FPmvEh1st
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAu9Nve4zcvX
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAMVmVCNg97I
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANARfS7YGRaqN
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkQLs9RjVT6
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAFUbgKAZ18y
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA5RKoYWJwou
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANALyKWhKdsik
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAduXYBVlc1B
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAxnMvCxNtm8
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQdbMkBVSXY
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIOfBQSP9Iz
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZAnxy121pV
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAONWUyQzu8l
“Yeah!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA43K7HuKnxf
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbKyP1YanKe
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAiWWTucmRIx
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIgj66VasgZ
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZeDgvGsMz
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAppQUnB8AcD
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAF2s0Bh3WKI
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAffV0F6Hwca
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANANwD9IE8buk
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
138Please respect copyright.PENANASLo737rEx9
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAFlundO7kNN
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAwQpjTUpJiG
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAxuRKQ5J9Tg
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANALT8p73PSA7
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgQjCC6xyKR
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgkjXJlrFUY
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
138Please respect copyright.PENANADIhqE19ipy
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlrfMQsTUhY
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAqllXtjsZTK
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmTrZVnqnRF
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAtDtnLODY7W
Juniper 2: “What?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkZZxvNBiXw
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAKNWsQZyYHw
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANADVFVgxAzsc
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?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAU4ondfkrVF
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZgiLQIaST
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5mucYdKuI
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAUvVQBfQ2uc
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0pKv2bWM4y
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANARQQwf1b1DF
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJasVthghjN
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAVtgdEgxGhu
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAPTWOfrGCwT
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAK2F1ufIjpc
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA451kGrjmti
138Please respect copyright.PENANAC403q19VTe
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANACfKuCgXwFG
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANANmS8gsgVLD
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyHxRSIAGbe
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhT6lsiEu2T
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANARienxM9r3L
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ9rX1gPA3
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANALGamUMhovr
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA3mfqO7LIFn
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAml14DHiZ36
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdtIP2uRzPq
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA20D6YesEpJ
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANACtGJm5GV0G
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA30IdABlb03
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAzsRfbMMOJQ
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAo8JLjKQ3Qm
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAcSNLj7EZTR
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAiOZ6T4u5Qa
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAq0Wvym2EYS
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQT8qCygua3
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAufqmaTRx0v
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvm0u7sVtX0
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAs3lBJxtQQQ
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?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmWplnBQZCk
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANABKpujtfcam
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAxkjYlrVwC3
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAx9GnNqssP9
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA7PPNLAwQNn
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAcpSAoXpRPd
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAelmhzywU2a
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANABLTdemU1dD
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANASnjtJa7VDI
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyiHsNecLmN
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6SwkSIjzKO
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ng0dkLnlG
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAas8ul1Kv5g
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAoTpruUIDlJ
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAK4Jin0uLyk
Juniper 2: “No way…”
138Please respect copyright.PENANABnpSldiN9j
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?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAKwh8DsZcPQ
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIUbNoRP9MK
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA73CSqARPZY
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYRWJbruGP3
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANATe5WKBU4Z4
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmTog8g6y1u
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9tPqjHrKSh
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAq2RDHivTJI
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA3yHa2oEb2v
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA7gfdQAkPjx
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAr5Oe94biw8
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8Vi9EnC7s
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAxCHdjHI5mN
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmNz9y4DeW2
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAuFYrnXFfCe
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0Llh5jqpxM
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAMpNBor9qdC
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAslZjSnCSyA
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7Kdt6mDQ2
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZDaV4cYYop
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAHHCx4B80xg
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
138Please respect copyright.PENANATXBh6EDftO
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbmHuw2l5Vs
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlPVEWrjjN3
Juniper 1: “Well… try to look at the bright side; you can leave Orchid Bay. Maybe you can even become an astronaut for both of us.

Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANArNhNNqAvEs
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ec8WFIwoo
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAuXndT1zbdm
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAr4FNZF46PJ
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbt7EGhtp3y
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANARD1y0Mzu9g
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA2dUkePXyCR
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYltz72ddET
She says as she pats his head.
138Please respect copyright.PENANANMMwLNvGOq
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAN4et8osI2C
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlXn3XTLALm
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAh1pRp7BwQI
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjgpEe7WIDN
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJkwKMl2Npm
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAd0YU1JTFD2
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAr18ntRHl7t
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlHalUKeN8f
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA4pwbTtVaKm
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAINOkb8DAkQ
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYhkUv5pWMp
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA4nukX3at67
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmHoiuv0F0L
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA8RpQ3L21ch
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAtxt79es2g1
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAXvhBUkWxyh
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAiVQgHvgEnV
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!?
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlWJ9EVJRUe
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANASmWl9IvHsK
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAl2QbvBAQHr
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
138Please respect copyright.PENANANIXRLfGEOF
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAaR1PenZMeH
She had no friends here.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWz0DZeOrM3
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAc89RLUqtGW
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjs71Ctdzbd
She was… alone.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAzvlNmN8vL8
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvauZQqdGzW
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
138Please respect copyright.PENANAsaR7Fu2fmm
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAE9ApBEfdXQ
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgUlIwf9iSg
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAk520MToZc5
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAnNAIdwPQnq
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAs7jNt22MVy
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAxHtrBuLIcT
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1iVF90vsdv
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.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAD3ef9UAKsC
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAXpH0PS2nqP
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
138Please respect copyright.PENANATvomzCsGan
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJYqBX7Vskf
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAAOPdeRwLgJ
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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmMtzaLV63o
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1fqIlrGtqz
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAKjNtQ66wSb
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAiKQYq0y5wy
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAzGM5p2RWrf
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAm4HwJsbXEK
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWH8dfRyh0q
- 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.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAEPtNLTLseJ
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
