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.PENANAbtghdHUTr2
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.PENANAsfZG1vxrxB
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYHEvKczthG
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIjSRZLBOGg
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAncRfCr8NHa
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANApNszFXQaMk
Unos smiles before answering.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAL2Zpayx046
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAX4fiTRjwuh
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAAHEWnyvPbV
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAL6OUXuf3fB
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.PENANAIUI2tJ66wJ
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhm7lRlTbee
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.PENANA2lnCOSp4KL
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.PENANAGlK9zH1fIO
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.PENANAPWALgQc6at
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.PENANA3td9en2HBl
Danny: “June, wait!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAerRFYS4pB7
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.PENANAOvzOiiPz2Y
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQBgkPbAca3
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANATCDMUShhRV
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAseDzQrBp4j
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6oHiyxj774
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjlf26m4FTV
Danny: “Whoa!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA5MUSIJGUjJ
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jh9NHpuZ6
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA3fhFWgkh7c
Juniper: “Ready.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAILdsOZujiL
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.PENANAyZJc20IlPL
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.PENANAPDfrVeujWq
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWjlrrtESeB
June: “GAAAH!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAz0gEO93zll
Danny: “June!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1DHE6NE6eP
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkH6jkDp3OV
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAAMmAT7CU3T
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
138Please respect copyright.PENANANtkYtw2vEN
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAf35A5FnqhW
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA4H4DiKj3kt
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAP1e9mdVlea
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANASaBdlRSe6p
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmEQbOKd3Ab
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAnXezgh9gmO
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAfjTN5c5feL
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.PENANAPly394YyFv
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANALZ7cXr7ys6
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.PENANATP3oU1wy2J
Juniper: “I-”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAB3AdemOzxw
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbyMXumjtnt
Juniper: “Huh?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAy9COFMFlwG
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.PENANAbg8usk1ryi
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.PENANAkvnVdRKVFK
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
138Please respect copyright.PENANArpvz6aGz9F
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.PENANAFR6iIWkL70
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANADg34NMV3HX
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.PENANAnnffER9V5t
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAKYYA9S6Aej
Juniper: “Good idea.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA7wZKI5ZdFz
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.PENANA7D5572D4pu
Juniper: “Yeah!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6sdXHYuUa
Unos: “Nice try!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAKjW0EE6HcB
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAfkwSJUlPSl
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAGVFt2fQOa9
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
138Please respect copyright.PENANADHpEd4k4Jh
Juniper: “Plan C?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANACsT2sNE7c4
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAi5j5A1LBWv
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.PENANAMEM6kiNIMa
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAh4CEJXHuOY
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAAmmLCVUfte
June: “GAAH!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZWotvtklAv
Danny: “On no!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAE5bUtrMIP1
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.PENANAf08Ln6vR7O
June: “Ugh, again!?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhDUBbqTmlo
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.PENANAgD9Lx7RC2I
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.PENANA7Kj2bEt57n
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
138Please respect copyright.PENANADXxjLYfblY
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAaJPnI7HXpp
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAVPMP3qxqs8
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAsXxNez6z0P
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAtAe7LDOHpC
Juniper: “Hurry!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAr3tVUHB06M
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkF9fQgkuus
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.PENANAAbquN4Uazh
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6spoviPHcO
Unos: “Tch.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAFvflYrGPB3
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.PENANAsHPyhsEAOa
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA5i8HmCelat
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA70O40ZwTku
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.PENANAKcfZTCS3Nb
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA8FYwoZ5rQb
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANArxMgEVwt6h
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgTtmBTmeki
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.PENANAgVOgyjxsSX
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAYTmkXMv7Jw
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAnveS4sDZwt
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.PENANAC2YtE90Ftx
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAuavC19ZUaA
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWZGcuuTHUI
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
138Please respect copyright.PENANASb4pEyQCdI
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.PENANAGzqQa28HO4
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAglYl2ZMTx9
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6zRFQH80GH
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjYdYm2OJvx
Unos: “What are you-”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAPkJrPrnXfw
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.PENANA7zgmtwMmne
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOduKiMu5oY
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAViRqV9CaIW
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAsu8O7LBtQH
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.PENANARPPoXwe5lX
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAujyBctLWq7
Juniper 2: “What the-”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAv889sHEVti
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA8R6fK8foiH
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlayvVjxG9D
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAea9g9YevJn
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.PENANA0O5s8YFHbF
Fear.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAGdonQCx9SC
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.PENANAo2ws2cBgZO
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA2JzFxsDJdV
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAcQUYvzdj1E
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA8H6dAXr872
Unos: “N-No!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA3DcWqQV9uO
Juniper 2: “Now!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJOAzfr2E7i
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQXnhSpqdDc
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANALg7y2QqOQl
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.PENANAzuUDZB1012
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.PENANA7y7Oxbtbd3
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.PENANAW5g1GaJfxP
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQehGpNGsUq
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA8qLfLozmVm
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyJMEigiKZV
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAqBCFyImOMD
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAt9bW8qWG95
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAFwyQQ3NgJK
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAVHhwYkegdQ
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA3o3BsZLSwJ
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA4nWhcyhFT4
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAMz6QYJNxLE
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA33fOpMgpLh
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.PENANAeV3jrikjnz
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAzX9xcFrsyg
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAEsCQSOTeN4
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANADiO2im20hN
Juniper 1: “Who?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyFL1ekHaBI
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAVDvVfATDJB
138Please respect copyright.PENANAfJlXkWCwbv
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.PENANATsmYfzMILI
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJtDSzOUKDQ
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.PENANAXEdA9Ofx2Q
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA2kcq0D4xib
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAk4Xqsuc5fq
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.PENANAAWMhIKO8YU
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZN69vbZ6E9
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAuAVos9VJ47
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.PENANAg7MDe70FB5
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6mFDLDY7WI
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.PENANAcyMsGJZQM4
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgCQd49fgxf
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAB7yj7nKeF3
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAFISMIV2UlA
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAx1w7oWR9Iq
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANACqilGykdxR
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOmmkjQf3jk
Juniper 2: “Right.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAMY3qqEzOoQ
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9lYcjXE0KP
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOmGlux6nal
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAi0nneVrIq5
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvEs9poxoT3
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAEVRcglXF8d
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdjJlsDkdWa
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOxxRvKt9ys
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjkeRW93iOV
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlj3gyHWhTO
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA5FY71ad4Tz
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAcMviLxUL7H
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJgzcXirlAm
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANARFiT1tCPWy
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAr3M1A1Mwoc
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA7hWf1BsfmJ
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAU6488axnom
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAeCcOG4ZLyi
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.PENANA4ULAjaofhH
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOObR4oJ3bO
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAchAkVRSZla
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0FYfgSeryX
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6D2STcnSl4
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1BMBEGnSwZ
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.PENANAdkh6A6JJug
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAGeMbC0pVCJ
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAiyAVuNclCM
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAec1NJeq6V8
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkAVbQSZbcA
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6BjuRGpJ5M
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAMgIuUaLLNi
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAE0jN1fwqAm
Dos: “Great!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1iIi175W1Q
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAVW7UKjWSzz
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAaRGhsVQpBN
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.PENANAefBNphhPVn
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAh48hDG8Z6A
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkx1Os6DFms
138Please respect copyright.PENANA82i9I6uIVx
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjcJhgkK2PD
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.PENANAqMrevvUoM3
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANARb1BvMj9Pn
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbpOYnG1Lyu
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlr1l8EySeZ
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9Llfg1ZmT4
The Junes: “Later.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAfcNnOmFstr
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIXkLXgvbi8
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”

The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyYABEDOHN2
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
138Please respect copyright.PENANAGUqI1pzKbY
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQaMicstww1
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANArg0XgqDWcz
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAk0f20mWKRW
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAReAF0DBbyg
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAKp4cZXkNMW
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAzaPJEpd1Bi
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAxZOsT7iXTT
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAqHYEaxPDsy
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkYKk6Tqm8P
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.PENANA9qWThDENZk
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbVPub8IV9Q
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyV33FcGPLM
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlv6qAxLlaF
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAtUihrUZhSn
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAXVvT1O1NoC
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.PENANAbww4v378xX
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA7of98qOslB
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.PENANAkuXR6RPDL8
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.PENANA5Pc4YIKB7c
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdnDnfhuts7
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAlG3OSGvTJB
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAiz6bjjDP7Z
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA5iIik77pkJ
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAuOB91Zzo8u
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.PENANAM8GIsX8WpW
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANApcSQnbZ1nl
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA23HJpQnWTe
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjTLWj9hls3
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA31oTSlUrtn
138Please respect copyright.PENANAN5VMolC1cV
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9SpXNXdp5b
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.PENANAspBFBpY2Yf
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.PENANABO5KkKWxT3
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIPnREOzx0V
Unos: “Untie me!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAcb7ihrXCgK
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAx5KUefw3He
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQuEiUCOGx6
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.PENANAYkvBC4HU9N
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.PENANA1Sa6nnWqtC
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAz0EHDc1f3O
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.PENANAxglxSeCAV5
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAnH9dXXvO7Y
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA6dxiIQtNqH
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAMbJ5ioq5q8
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.PENANAfC1kA3GWn1
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA45WZCaAX0u
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAFKe2reMNMI
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.PENANAkkvxaz3nn4
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAepihKJGCnh
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA88ajf70ohX
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.PENANAWDiXXHjIrN
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJIKpghh4y9
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAFGcn5ZoY2u
Unos: “… Never.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWalgKl2PlR
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAVrZwqK2GVl
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAib5jWyhcfU
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1AJ5ZP7SyD
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAO21WlpavSU
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.PENANAnNwwJ98HgW
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAraf21KZQQD
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.PENANA6AnWQSyikE
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyU9OtVmz5h
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.PENANAPl6JPVjNwZ
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvMGOOWHLzK
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAStFXO6OOJI
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.PENANAP6Mog9jeX7
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANACaIdePQ66l
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdL2yW84Y79
Dos: “Same.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAJLJYe0mHfp
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1BnT9YzigM
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAKHyF4WzSZs
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdgHsXGu0JT
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAcr9yVrLPlL
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAMS93CSYN6F
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.PENANAWN40gnglf9
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANARmKt7ZqcJI
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAULm7fa1Y2j
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAPt9P18QZ1v
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANApKRlBeX3w2
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdcL8DuMAsq
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.PENANA4enKXPE6bF
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.PENANAbbr3XzHSnw
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyAavA99y2H
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9MnIddYwL6
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.PENANAo5LKm9RCol
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.PENANADWHdCS4Mw0
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgbLKHzvuBY
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIR0K6nsI0t
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAPlsAbge9KC
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.PENANA5pzlN4shNN
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0ae13163vL
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANALm0t76Kwm7
“Yeah!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbeo2Bz6VTk
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.PENANAoPJWoNZjW7
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.PENANAcJ5mGBkofJ
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANANx91fIpt8f
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAFHx9vzAfmt
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
138Please respect copyright.PENANArSz9k4k5n3
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdZY0w8EEi4
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAeXU47XoWfF
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANASsa71EKVUh
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAQKNn3YmQah
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZKpkvWtQ9B
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZFCjTOcT9
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAytWAtfNa4D
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9pVieiLeos
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAHZnBeHG5oG
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.PENANAyjzo00H6BJ
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjUAfIrr56o
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAPvlcAc0eyw
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOytVXr1ncs
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAUmxXeXkr2h
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAnmiOxoX2hH
Juniper 2: “What?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANALwCwfsiA0i
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.PENANAjMUCOuN0ua
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyQfLX6zob3
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.PENANA7RRjY3Wuz4
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkd4qGp4Vix
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAKQGNvqOl4J
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAs0jzeMB6cx
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANASx5xYta23Z
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIsa8HDwxYw
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAcYMaZpHQPH
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAzjRTraqDIE
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANASBclVz6wZ9
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.PENANAXbU8mXvDwk
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAh8ulLzuMLi
138Please respect copyright.PENANANw9Fsm8avj
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA1om5pLvhku
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.PENANAozjd0GFFSu
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.PENANAn2aE7PbdoN
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbBrYYdN8kd
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbiuvzVIn0Y
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOcVG9IF7c5
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAmfxECFe7VM
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvGFqorZAgW
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA4gTVlByJhW
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAzxE5Xtlwan
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAOyasKx5w7y
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAjOBVQGoy1h
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAN1MSxAWr61
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAfkw9O0Zzx0
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANASvcoV8zyDq
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAxiKNbSJjPo
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgo3qIJpjgI
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.PENANAemGOJqK0Y5
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAkO6IoIMMMZ
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAHO5mon8LmD
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANASore067MMz
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAqj17axQESu
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.PENANAJm6XYzURcZ
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAvqkxKrh3D8
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9lhVHGTgdw
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.PENANAmoROzOuQbv
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAGqFhXpZPFb
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAoCA24vd3cC
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAUMOTZq63py
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.PENANAaUQwBW6s3G
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAxcPRi1jjhC
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.PENANAFV9QSjPzTs
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAiW82xl0AN1
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.PENANAYzFikWmTcA
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhEbCZXuBeb
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAEgL1tFK1As
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.PENANAJQehJUtELb
Juniper 2: “No way…”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAthDfAVDXQM
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.PENANAPzC888Rhtm
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.PENANA758gtAjP6j
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0KJBW046ZJ
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANARZ69ntVXKF
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA32AnzvTowG
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA7bSlZFKxMa
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAzvVS7AE6EN
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAqvKfH5EZMR
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA9BazoUPb0j
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAe7JdX41Yxl
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANABFF6KO1uzD
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZTDDh9BD2
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAgD7v035qzK
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.PENANAAi6mp9z4OC
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANADnR4KMRHuB
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.PENANAKeh2GqPCjP
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAU3Ifqmn4lH
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.PENANAmG4Ble1P59
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.PENANAZc6gORfH9Q
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.PENANAHTcieaIghS
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.PENANAJeskEUPQ6x
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAU2nc7XqONA
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAbjU9IgJrKv
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.PENANA8oh3pW8hZM
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.PENANA4wuDHswtH5
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.PENANAktTlpx9Mvq
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAXnpO825eWC
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAXtmCXrxse5
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAr4yY6Q9Y2S
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAsivwaGqySd
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAhAlM5klODI
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAszqyG2QA6E
She says as she pats his head.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyAj4R3RPL4
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.PENANAaKqleRmPSB
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.PENANA0h7AI2a4F8
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAEvslwvf3Ee
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAF1msL0S2zL
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAFG5Ia5lfgC
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.PENANAUyGjLSSgUi
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAec4ILvdRhk
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANARah9XHTvRH
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.PENANAqOV4Q5bkvD
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAy4GjiSzzE0
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAWfgLA46wxe
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANA57UeqUogbG
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAKrpUu4kx4Y
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.PENANAw9DW1KxxeG
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6F6vzby6k
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAqVX6tQvLA6
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyXvMYI7yTC
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.PENANAknexhrQ8AT
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.PENANAr3QG8K1JBq
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.PENANAqIOHKqYqni
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAEjbh85R9LY
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0wmTyXSQCK
She had no friends here.
138Please respect copyright.PENANADVUWgHWmyh
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAxW0zSduR6q
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAiMxvLuBebN
She was… alone.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdxutEGe3go
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.PENANABjSM6qaJD4
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
138Please respect copyright.PENANA0acdjEgo4H
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAtqYiO2Tcp3
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
138Please respect copyright.PENANAtqNeRGOl1v
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.PENANA1AUCRt0YgW
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAtW4BOxVS0H
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.PENANARfsQuNtKZe
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAIk4J2iN1Gd
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAm6Rba9zOcc
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.PENANAnqTY2enumy
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.PENANADWv3g56qIc
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAMG9GcxTHvV
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
138Please respect copyright.PENANAKgCMmuBWK8
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAdTrIshxNLg
To Be Continued
138Please respect copyright.PENANAyA78vI2C8w
138Please respect copyright.PENANAEYaVqunSLk
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.PENANA2HSLSKVWKk
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
138Please respect copyright.PENANAuD7qHiwsDb
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAUiH1P2Sm3m
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
138Please respect copyright.PENANA04f6K7WXPQ
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAuiDAzW8S2A
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAArNlKmldHS
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
138Please respect copyright.PENANAN8quH4Mwxz
- 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.PENANAVxodFtdoDR
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
