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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmc5yBvXXV
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGc0ukeDgI
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIogUKfcDu
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfEUrImxeT
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapGOtzm0WM
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uNbaAeKVx
Unos smiles before answering.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVhjt2VEYy
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8snI2Dzoec
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIcLRnd9sT
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArBHTLbyxt
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgwEk9MShZ
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpINvRQycL
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxQK6Lhbuh
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrPl9UMFtG
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkLdGYezsu
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmkHt6kVk8
Danny: “June, wait!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7fCIJbJu9
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdVvPGIEcS
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EV9fOX2PB
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbc1S82enc
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oCCuQ0gMC
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugFR8QaSb8
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2bWsMEpzH
Danny: “Whoa!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ683IdtRvo5
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxwYur0zgo
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgq8PeCB6B
Juniper: “Ready.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTodGSxqkuU
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuDjiGlpVt
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQueivyRLWh
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsY0SIzJdz
June: “GAAAH!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDQH0QgpBe
Danny: “June!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcNHXgG2Vc
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0Uur3OHFe
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglzFkjrymv
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3PgU3GS0l
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkJuoBhJDt
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA85KPrl6Em
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInlKnepUnt
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QvcbOkwLa
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2b6O6RLXZ
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHCKAjPp0C
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vspi0TRmh
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBZqEqAptk
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOh7uU7y5l
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUkAFHz5AR
Juniper: “I-”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdPB5dGhgL
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAa1EDNHOq
Juniper: “Huh?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0sKCPkVyq
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfabzKv7bcG
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLbh3DGH5J
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkucIZMYEV
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!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR5LkAiIqb
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98jP0q7wC5
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhztP3GxwGa
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQOIQq4z1l
Juniper: “Good idea.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOydgtjmdn
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0JSGnlQUZ
Juniper: “Yeah!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPUI5FKPkO
Unos: “Nice try!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZSOyscnJd
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft1Kr5HYoY
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZsQqdKGhE
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX00A23zjH
Juniper: “Plan C?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItlnDsgK9g
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOleg2eT00C
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFXzf5KnoL
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyvUQ1Yses
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFXYKbZOyK
June: “GAAH!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGBuYCeZlK
Danny: “On no!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm1PcVxNTr
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BYXmDhog6
June: “Ugh, again!?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSsSN7EETX
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?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs99Yzpe0M9
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESuP8bZysR
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd5oQqRiH1
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8BfQptomZ
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOpXIZz3Sq
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnledMWmp9
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoawapfg7tR
Juniper: “Hurry!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88qFFjSP39
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoYtyRG8L4
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?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhjV2x5A89
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6FZM63fjR
Unos: “Tch.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sx29FShAN
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeHZylD24j
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvljSCbKw0o
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NW2fY9YB7
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLc8Xf5bxs
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvSeDO2bQO
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ9oNtvut6
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zuWwy0ZkC
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERjyBFK69k
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAUUy0QRo5
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD379MOoHL
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRBzERozBo
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkkwUITStW
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qpZ5NRaFZ
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHJMHuC5Ew
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QVsh98jPr
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkgYW03ZOR
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m7mXlz9jw
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVfBiAqwCq
Unos: “What are you-”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3d0w9lS0C
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m0iyv60nU
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfbnkjBQdR
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWIgLXKWoG
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZU5G3lxn2
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?
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj9nryQ0MX
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMUaeK4OUh
Juniper 2: “What the-”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kaImUHqJQ
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSq8gkGnQW
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdETvHc5auJ
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ2qt9YJc4
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXtMwCqg92
Fear.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTXLpIGrBE
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR8GpJSSVq
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRmgQAvANh
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVS6JmDIvI
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGsEbRrJok
Unos: “N-No!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKpmyN6HH1
Juniper 2: “Now!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUFFlDj2eQ
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcDXe2dT5x
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU4qzj1PQe
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLjJ9c5Tay
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AocgHzmIT
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3VsA3JBVM
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ejWsP7i0k
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGE4mF1FdV
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRQms05tfu
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGEXBnKF5O
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ3HfLcJzt
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRpt538Zcj
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb2bX7LfLr
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO7AyosG8X
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dmvtFVZJH
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqxWzB0t75
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hePSaVLxM
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhGU8g3VdT
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dchD1LrMq
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXopUkiiw1
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvpkCx1VXp
Juniper 1: “Who?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI5aW5u4Go
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGPLtBZoff
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNZnxVrAKP
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0pIUAnWy2
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzusb0f9XmS
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzdtmwjXZv
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL0lhTmKnu
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5RpJYZZAj
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLDLPOxf7q
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDkJtLteYk
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WRFGVaL06
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddthExjCyI
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhVlDtamXR
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8vW5jCjzw
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WFvm7KWNy
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4g5OZzvAv
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBV0gAwovH
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSloCKBhgv
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH8jjE5bmU
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oKfLNp7SV
Juniper 2: “Right.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY1dc0jN0g
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmBHmpfpdT
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW8IsaNmnm
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJRkxZ4dvt
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqYrczlVP8
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJVqgYdPdY
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZziaX0iKQ3
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qpx9SWBwL
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAsjJuwYF7
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBmKA0YfX3
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tRR5CiHkN
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDKkS5ff9k
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nZ0W2Jikt
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx4mzuXdep
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2umWEmChmp
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI5pVYZEW0
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTA2v5oFsN
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h8SWe810u
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4Kj6lqP0H
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKkdq7Ownv
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJcCwHyJpa
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrexeVTA32G
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkCRr0Nk3y
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKCTFfIwGZ
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFZyZVOhwU
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtpEClbOUy
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob9WQ64RO8
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM8CszlVjR
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8rs3eyu3O
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7RbPkTjSy
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EtrZwAivq
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmot8MfX2y
Dos: “Great!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgvsb6jwwA
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgIUebh0Mb
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIDzJa9qIL
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sd6wVFEgE
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEG42wt0nL
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’

Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF89V5B9il
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLkkCDyHck
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vf6sWaBN2
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaF5ztKdsw
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmDqBjm9Ij
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmORH2hWAZH
The Junes: “Later.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs3ZY6iq4u
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsF3mRE0Tj
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn2Y7YD0Wm
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsMakFeO8a
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4l4w4Id6o
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9tmOzobBn
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTYkdAAOfS
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX6onSLW6n
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMzmLdx9ah
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX2ByAR41F
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH1DuZYcaG
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfIBquNAYI
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlJQbq2hCS
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxIyXfIauv
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ4j0rOiUF
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6zQU37DLw
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z6v0qFTUU
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3vcXyaZre
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiufSHxaw0h
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKvaXC81k5
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD8RJfaGE7
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE6IAL1mzr
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBuJOfjpzZ
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2UpdqTIFa
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FhxmLmaFW
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbEGgEIdMY
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XHP9fDObw
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDDXf3kwPB
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJjIlm4vUA
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B6uTjxzqM
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy5HegHJml
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMzvCSO2O7
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxVguLLXxE
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QRF5mItim
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9iPSRas7n
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBUi2ljeew
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRNRKF481n
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwhlJTAK7e
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2cbmNQpp9
Unos: “Untie me!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ0MEJFHl1
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG00yNHF2J
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPvxbgFQBm
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0U9xJlNWz
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2DIZddYy6
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpNsoOjMip
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO0k4rjyNU
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxbBXWgxCK
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw5i11c3Om
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu0YzEgQ3Z
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVbrtCZ67p
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b3OV9qb0G
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqVkKFIMcI
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEJ1GyJJMn
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONT3QIvvho
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYc3tTOowk
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRWZ2qOMa2
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxkDtyGwhd
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4oFhf7OTx
Unos: “… Never.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXst2gr7dE
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJtjHCJj8C
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwpvCaZApd
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU7rUAVrTC
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwPTcliX8J
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr4oAq3GFl
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATHlMr66pn
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbatu7o6f6
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdqUJAlSrz
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIem7g3WoaG
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOgeFtX1au
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLadWifczqQ
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?
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fG6nyjRdh
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuIU3kQTn1
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv4WCH2kgr
Dos: “Same.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X0IxDdkgI
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCksTbV5MLb
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFXj9aXbVv
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG6HDg5SKu
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLj0SekEf7
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GcM122Q7D
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2S1mslJC7
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaPClS83d2
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQRGltTFlh
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4XYHl8KEW
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP2h1DZ5xA
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqQO1dWFXt
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI0EWLlyqy
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S80esY1AZ
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sFDd0iDOQ
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvCeMbPEtf
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvkEZXi1sD
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DRXon6xDi
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9SkBwWFdi
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA8cWwt7lR
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWpPhoM7ay
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPww9XWmFOf
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjeByQhPXO
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNAccY3cbA
“Yeah!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpf92igqCR
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzjXZ4k89L
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi46eIDxvv
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21HTo6P6Sa
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN2O6N9fhD
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxMqrGdSIT
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ9vbw7hYu
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqFtqAzDvR
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZeJA1GhTb
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudRmLRwxVh
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyo4lyV9PP
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGv5y9Ku1v
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdKOb9Ikvb
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrvlICZdUv
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdHeXPTM7Y
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBxxPeRSES
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HuRKVZbGg
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk85kuwTnq
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3hCWDVOCR
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN51aBHXrHv
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxx9iLYPrt
Juniper 2: “What?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkcKncuq7h
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fxkJ75NIZ
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYHzj6AcIy
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?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavX6Y2xOQR
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAJFOCrvtL
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp7xUfMUYF
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UDDBo8EPA
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyfXBncYcz
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwUMus7ckb
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4wtyreDoL
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOWL0AsfkL
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6d2oAYVhe
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZpQdh793V
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg18I2NiSGl
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulqXy9lGyf
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5AdN3J2vu
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2rUJ7r90j
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpVSh73y1P
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BouMbrNUV
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVJLygdbF8
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtR8l6HCZu
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedUvENfFF7
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsxwACAmmK
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4Dz0Ifpqm
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Ao5Uz0Ag
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgZlii8vPG
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoJoJTHX20
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSihV0p3NI
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiZz32SSkT
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCtlyazjYX
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz4PuWXxcC
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAd2yAmlDe
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFZhSL7ZIW
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejHmUrx5rH
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuFv7Pccxc
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpm2iM86JF
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSljeBunxO
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?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrmIinqaFw
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dxadzvZ1i
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNn6nzubAf
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m8JaQdYoK
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n6Q5g1Nzx
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozZjnxB1lU
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTHUGp4noY
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPzSGnyNkv
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5uzFIShVp
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG1kEJ9cxz
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSB30lPuud
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerMrHUeZN1
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXzVbYfAw1
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdCMP9vCwv
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46HSdVOsYR
Juniper 2: “No way…”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqenEBGjjWb
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?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqom8pZMKcg
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXtEYDN3Ry
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhQIRJ1WRK
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7QTFGTrH4
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDdL2DJlt7
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q9wIbFC57
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURvV2t2Ut2
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP4b7yModJ
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDlmRP243t
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47yFRQNyaz
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvSXKCWKfp
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”

Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLiWiOvRXw
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ne2S0PHGF
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBP82MFY2b
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT8uHJPksf
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcD9GaRTNm
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4cdwKCpo1
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0KSn5QuRh
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNLnhkXP16
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhSuNRG2LY
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwJtg11bOk
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGZB5wLuUp
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm5tel83vD
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1UEHI52yM
Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO86cyhxOa
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY6Wg6LHP8
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfniBNHI5kh
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtA27yQbD8
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXAiUMXO1n
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGNESb75mE
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4iNW1rS0D
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmxdkPZscg
She says as she pats his head.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuoUBPT4j5
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbirRNqd3LO
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48csziH5tK
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrKIHKG084
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcHrksVgbh
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecxmp1uRwi
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxiGLxf9ka
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE9Zkyi8Q5
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJf04w6kbR
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMmRqUTzbV
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghTHveGKbD
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iyLtUArID
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmcvjrCzHk
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3Clwgac6M
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9U3LvNO0q
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUMwICBmX0
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbbzGcIy7v
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLI2o9FxlF
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!?
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBYCAbrv3p
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBjm37H9BY
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD5hOUlA8L
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ061mcdp9
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZfudECkwC
She had no friends here.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJQ46uU8Wj
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HNT2v98O7
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKAZvwBXM3
She was… alone.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSKjMA83qY
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPhxt8PhT9
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gxXTI1yo3
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bkTXxv1G6
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MDIc52oFJ
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVSda2e5o2
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasDWBuTriO
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62QnA4ppbi
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QZyOdYsL0
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPEKxdvwS0
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.”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKDxSsWobG
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HE9KSjL4w
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h5HUZKlQc
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQWKubXKww
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGRQVnABpT
To Be Continued
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtKlj8t05H
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSev6i67fBa
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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS2sWExPLP
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthuppSxit1
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuSoboym91
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLCGLLlqNZ
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohw58yrVjW
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi76obzD4vT
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL1wPFi3Ug
- 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.
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4OTwgpM5u
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
