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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA2PXo99rzkP
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAAPcQD0EIF1
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAhGGdrk2Frn
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQsdReTsfZv
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAz1LS4oUOto
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAXoYwkYjQeN
Unos smiles before answering.
20Please respect copyright.PENANASncJelLziK
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAtoLxa9HVXH
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAUZTp0sBIs6
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
20Please respect copyright.PENANArG1J0YNS7b
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAjkqoZw5qY8
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANANtHHnGkOfr
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAki2wMvnuh8
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAYLI212oxRr
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANASqaiJppo4L
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA72KOIl1N8Z
Danny: “June, wait!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAcNawndEyfD
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAcHlyEkcmDO
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAST9yuBgvVr
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANARvFj49MA9h
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA10Awzafchc
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAfnpYAgSCtn
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAteYleq5aq4
Danny: “Whoa!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAZYL4gpgGNX
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3DBttfKLCd
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANASEsLlvFaDl
Juniper: “Ready.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA5KP8BIL8lt
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAlFFu9ZG47R
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAlXaiH7NBtQ
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAjE34mJdp7U
June: “GAAAH!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA0YlpdWUPDc
Danny: “June!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANARiUbCvMj1c
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQIOJzPG6IN
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAAVSDRsVA7i
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQfA7AuSXQZ
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ3k2hglRl
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAU4PjSUHpc9
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAOMP2xg5AuE
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAiCwarG9pKe
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAKDPe1zPO4b
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA15irkjHVXY
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3lgyZRAEwo
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAsBFUZNphmU
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3Zyeh6olUj
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANApVzYkyTz1P
Juniper: “I-”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAx3xnXcUgnY
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAhgUsf7ZpEP
Juniper: “Huh?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAvd9iyd8o9E
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANARfh3Tf7oyc
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA6OcWiu1dJx
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
20Please respect copyright.PENANANWk7TtC6Gz
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!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAbn206XGzxO
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAG4H5xaCvLE
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
20Please respect copyright.PENANACtIHt4M4Fw
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAliJeHvsyAS
Juniper: “Good idea.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAqTcxyLXORg
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANACQJZauaFal
Juniper: “Yeah!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAvYhPaSOutP
Unos: “Nice try!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAuGXFsenNxS
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAlOMsLX1mnW
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANADjza5Je44I
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
20Please respect copyright.PENANABYlrZ3v2g4
Juniper: “Plan C?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAZfzSPQwZTx
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAnf7d1CEmv5
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAxZiTkRA9p7
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAkQnlbNrJiJ
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAamY5IWK0ZR
June: “GAAH!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAOzFsYYolDu
Danny: “On no!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAHZPr0DBybh
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAOZmPepuw76
June: “Ugh, again!?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAlLfTIfz6uW
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?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA65yqBuElys
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAKtf5PRlytm
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAsTwaUMJQdf
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA5I4IYiKyyv
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
20Please respect copyright.PENANANECUF0NqQO
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAPQ4NPQUMNS
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAYeIMpDWz0B
Juniper: “Hurry!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAF9g5AQpYHe
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA7DNcfum3WL
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?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAnd45h2OGyn
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA2wAnbB3vBF
Unos: “Tch.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAbCbtnubwU9
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA2z2voQZjxX
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAaodGVjRbTZ
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANATxByYMgTWu
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAcPu0yTiGLk
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAJHJ9jEo3nL
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAZSxbCpcEo7
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAkTMWdDH6ZI
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAgIT0SaVcZm
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAv98WHtTOuV
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAnUeRY8oCei
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANArkLRBs6Biq
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAXt5UmrH5n7
20Please respect copyright.PENANAp5ZUKxz5oO
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAtjovWrSL16
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA6lLBD3og5H
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ti8a156Lx
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAAxRZClkc6k
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
20Please respect copyright.PENANACmnkmLuwGQ
Unos: “What are you-”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAZgZ3qOAEYU
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAR4Whg14eE6
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAsk2XKC2BDt
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA5lHSM27N0i
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAzaTN4QHzuc
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?
20Please respect copyright.PENANA4C5cNIA654
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA5wgfD9Xjji
Juniper 2: “What the-”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA0IPOCfqnGr
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAg5XYero7vW
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANASnd1hJUDrU
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANACehoY6oYvF
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAFRaFJEEY0B
Fear.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZeExxwvVP
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAzqAVrqdA8O
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAJAS6EN2UAz
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA1JSlsguU9J
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3aCUeFYhG3
Unos: “N-No!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANANXLz7UR3Rh
Juniper 2: “Now!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAipu0TX8EVK
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAog3ZZnk2t4
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANATMjXcDJeWD
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAECUNtDITHv
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAy2MCItc0cr
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAm3yWDlxeHl
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAIZyGHuRgy1
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAVLVjTH0qIP
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAihjjFhqLxA
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAw5Bfj3pury
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAa57tDZ3kBx
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA2dDqP1Hyim
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAW8Tx83xTj0
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA34cQqy8aFG
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAjxif3PmpQg
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAfhQLUfjCJc
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAOTkY81HtrL
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAEmgTD7aH4X
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAJa0GBryX6M
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAxy2xKwqvgl
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA6JKU0mpdb4
Juniper 1: “Who?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAWKXmI87Xtj
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAnFc3Xh2Dw6
20Please respect copyright.PENANA1b447aU2IX
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAvNEPKJhn3U
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA4ka0ytYocQ
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAsOD6Q7yrxu
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAfJrM8TMfsh
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAD3GMb8dUEN
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAFL769VAIB8
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANABHzfdGRHcS
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAnZKSwIK0Fo
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAFmG8Bru8Ik
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAf1BDj4ROVf
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA9eAYsyQWZ6
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAmb8JiQDZdN
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA2v6z3Us724
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAE9jwPsKLIK
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAgw3CiDHF26
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAqjKVf5B8pC
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAPeaoCABfap
Juniper 2: “Right.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAstPzxmWN1c
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAUyoSG21xSz
20Please respect copyright.PENANAGT5UpfQQfA
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANASzQnY7ONgD
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAe7RzBytt27
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3PO5hLwJvV
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA1bbaEXbUqs
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA45oa7fxZmg
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAHFlcZtCq60
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAbzpVRPBdWp
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAE1qhDnuCkX
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAdSIMpspWuo
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAvxa3lVZJju
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAKovGUZIOWk
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA9rwhaNTkRA
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANALKLbe4dR2e
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAy68K9VuM1i
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAgOB55G1Y6Y
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANADxEcWBWMiK
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAI6sB2lXjfH
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAAZuNsJikTu
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANASrbNwmZpt0
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAgvcveGq3Yr
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAZEabzZLcQg
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAKTNPNPXLa2
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAr4HyW4O4vM
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA2wmKdjqtgv
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA03TbUVREcy
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA8et0395lUB
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAYwEFGB8Cp2
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAPW49O6fYqG
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA4c3Yi4yK6y
Dos: “Great!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAU79deqgnZg
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAc6UNR0hq7S
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAy1OKsoVB5H
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAN77dpbeV1o
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAkvF8ZQhRUC
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
20Please respect copyright.PENANAbTbrtPHcLu
20Please respect copyright.PENANAoDyI4h0Eqn
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAmeenESKQ0O
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAE91YjZVSVm
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAWP6g3MpFpQ
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANADosaJLYOAf
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA0lbVVtJGGS
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA2vtcMHU6tr
The Junes: “Later.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAs64m4i2MTe
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3d2pXg9LuN
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAEmZoqlgiGR
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAuDJSHMtfns
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
20Please respect copyright.PENANAlnqKnWopAE
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA51Op6pnLt6
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAEWXx8QdZj9
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA0wd3goMlI3
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAM0UbEodUD1
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAfaCA1SuC8i
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAxGLMNrQQF1
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANANTDR6vbtjX
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQhB36RIPnO
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ5HUraigo
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAXEqEPoEUHZ
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAoQhWLlPs5t
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANASKKxZVmHSY
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAEYzBKJUXzF
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA7NpOYMZ7qN
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANADaghuXRZgx
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAiff9dKb8ZS
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAo7TelbN5a3
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANArT84TVOwV1
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAEgTAfLVpww
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAgOZHi1vgLF
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA6fVVNZ4j2S
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAUkJcLgR4xP
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAaFcPPqoFqq
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANABudTxt746r
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAY5V6QSlecf
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAw097G8TuB7
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANArJI5rgMe8v
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAZPJT2E65jm
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAeeD1dufmjP
20Please respect copyright.PENANAsL5bTRspfm
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQoYBU9MMvo
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAL8p8lfnw1h
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAvvMLjwlsvB
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
20Please respect copyright.PENANApzjwhUXvpv
Unos: “Untie me!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAbYPqPbT4pw
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ7J3lgEbA
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAxaTpz12HAn
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA8HRzVRhQJc
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAzMpQRRNfoe
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAhOLVE6W0bQ
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAX39aDEs5kK
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAXmtwABVfoS
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA8pdlI5PpQa
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAKu9Pv7Y90G
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAK6JI7NC6h9
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAAKVwUa4OF0
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANALULqCL8lKy
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAzAWzVTYUlb
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAdEqAL0LYDs
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANATd1nmywwhD
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAKCmf910Fx9
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANALPorufieAU
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAtBt1vF4rHQ
Unos: “… Never.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAez9CE7OJ85
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAupn2R4t20U
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAAgvZ2qxerr
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA8dbjsNYWxi
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAJcRoaNzGJ0
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAX7pLCIPP5m
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAVITYl2Nt0T
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAmamOFmlTqL
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANANIpqRFzJXt
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA05QtB6ttqO
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANANTUz61B88F
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA4AERFWsRcJ
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?
20Please respect copyright.PENANAUvGU1VOrVu
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAFwpjKz52Wy
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAD1EQseh1UR
Dos: “Same.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0UMpTf8Wm
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA8tvQ7ahAuy
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAavM0NpDLXE
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAGMWDF9Vcss
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAVFuEqZNAsY
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAASRiWzscCU
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA2TVz88LLWy
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAMswPMpLgzv
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA9X9IfUXUpF
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAq08wdSf9o3
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA92oFmmzGxp
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAT1RaLgCZqQ
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
20Please respect copyright.PENANALzQRYgOA15
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAMKf2hcnJoK
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAX6W8tnq7v4
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAbrKskLKaIS
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA6eqR6BU5OA
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAkiSVA86NTY
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAAUkne5dFoQ
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAVAnz9KMysZ
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANASbpd80Pj1O
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA49SHfzPsoX
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
20Please respect copyright.PENANAvurIkPhMY1
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANALNxaZ8jLJN
“Yeah!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAl9MD4Sxwbg
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAqPTvPj26g5
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAyZJjrJAbmX
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA1TDgNqC7vy
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAJzOJkwGNK8
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA7Wtdyut7Qd
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAWRLeBObs9T
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAxl1fkdJvgl
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAlkLRCfDgk0
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAhRoDTdEgmT
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAxqpOw0FvgK
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAWQwvnAW8zd
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAxgjc0h0GuS
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3u9nt7BNBn
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAwfiAkbnTnE
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAWPR1I5ij9y
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAHvSh3eu7rr
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAYYde2EbFXy
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAK9A0xTFjLR
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAhjEnzFrsFS
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAvljO7ssHTV
Juniper 2: “What?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA87HZpDXvUv
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAzPfV7nBWP7
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAYZcueHznKK
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?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAwxXT2pgkGV
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQgxUrRkrU6
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAPf4WeyKwmj
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAseFjPPbDlr
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAWQQoP4zLvX
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA787oJMN1Ii
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
20Please respect copyright.PENANACvxnudBku7
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAFp6WMJwbXu
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANARTJyLW8qJ9
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAnSFQ6JonxG
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANArWbPj2NXEo
20Please respect copyright.PENANAzUBJbsjL1g
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAVYTvE4Kt4O
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA7NW00WUMql
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAy1RI87KRzM
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAdBdRUy0wLo
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAC5R5R5msRp
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAdw5fG6al12
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAcMIaMVyVsd
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAEZyHi8EFZO
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAxUUNwC8zbk
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAZTLRSa8FKX
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAVyW14xiCar
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAfTh0YCw8Dr
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAfld3CC9EDt
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAsPNylfW5ID
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAHDEJth2YFP
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAl1b7E5Kk9J
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAeGDXsO5VYG
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAUxjoVxp9if
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA53WXq1HSmo
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA6jFErjW3iP
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAkpxR8gudwH
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8GmEM5Isa
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?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA8uIG2J0vOL
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQNwzudpCMY
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAJlBUXHlKTy
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAXlXDNuMtvM
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAYTfK0GxwO5
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA9YTehXYnSv
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAeDDTXOlJnl
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANApMpUURWLEz
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAsPizpyOvy7
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAxIG5ln2rFe
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA8OYLWtePdh
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANApPvbjcNklh
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ej3G9eC5c
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAIaqJwua0wm
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAlAQkW1iqiv
Juniper 2: “No way…”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQNJZB9b7kY
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?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAVmOMgY3ACC
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANADBJxPbdigT
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAmc2zFEh5rp
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANASECHKC2bmu
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAE0QH2hWTqh
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAy9BwpCwdgl
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAAhvdn2vRb2
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAB7BSyApW52
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
20Please respect copyright.PENANACu0FVFAYI2
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA8T17BkoUA7
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAYxwPdgk8B0
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAsHM6WMw3cE
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAG87y89wK69
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAUN5wQNsXqM
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAlw5BrYRM0O
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAqA3B3aFRKZ
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA7VxY1SErNa
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAwxbXZGzCHD
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3WeV0DlNbp
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAxKfRnUkgdM
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAGvaW0LvZ8c
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAYc0ic9zFqv
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAjGG16UMucr
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3NFdjFl0id
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAMSYM5NVkt4
Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAyCYOo7QhZW
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAGaVJqflET4
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAF1R83Efupn
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAWBmPt9ps1F
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANARmzwy14FJx
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAB3zhWWEFxE
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAiQBJZSPpQd
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3SoZNLwTPH
She says as she pats his head.
20Please respect copyright.PENANALEtTia0XNx
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.

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.

Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA1EA6B4FNu1
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA9oECM7fPyL
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kcg20x8fy
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAia69IviSsO
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAxHAOgZZdjk
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAWqPBjHkmeJ
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.

As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1VlcUdEj0
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAu6oSaePPTI
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA7MTxJYfXWN
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAiPRKIPqnTO
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAn9NriVLwH3
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAtpnOu2HPyp
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAfMeRCMP5I2
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQVdVGaanQc
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!?
20Please respect copyright.PENANApBQLLSN9nt
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA6ouGqsvwjQ
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAPh9XpOoqzT
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
20Please respect copyright.PENANALoqOnlvnuv
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAEe5bvZaSMa
She had no friends here.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA7RYKCZfrbJ
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAzdPReOdijK
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAZHTz6KB9yU
She was… alone.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAIMO5RjFdQj
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAjemPbryE55
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
20Please respect copyright.PENANAprDihliXxU
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
20Please respect copyright.PENANANogo5aPD5Y
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
20Please respect copyright.PENANAhi1Kf6MpZ3
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAuobzpYo90L
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAsBgEoiNalg
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAeZA6TFEO9H
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
20Please respect copyright.PENANACPL6x2tLRE
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA6xdniEx4rd
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.”
20Please respect copyright.PENANA37HtDfSOnZ
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANANjZqj53lpm
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAQWYC3yZIte
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
20Please respect copyright.PENANAD2hiipHbX7
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ybr6kC96g
To Be Continued
20Please respect copyright.PENANARSrCBdRf8d
20Please respect copyright.PENANAT9CLsQZlvU
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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAUi3HWZmiNQ
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
20Please respect copyright.PENANApHKgQF8YKL
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAINAaDNEOiv
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAnX7i5MY99Z
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAPwdagXzRJU
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAs4UI4ancyd
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAG0QxVYMSG3
- 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.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAu0YHAqtEFk
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
