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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAwLIGd9h8ba
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA16lZLWgtjr
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANASiCrMBU1Y9
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA35DwIWxWXA
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANALTuZdaUeFI
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAs9tr47dg3w
Unos smiles before answering.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAZvF4dHWekp
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA9gO65ZsO2C
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
122Please respect copyright.PENANADnNaOHMaBi
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAVdhBosi1fL
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAmiC4tinoKi
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAqCQMlo6lol
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAFO1yjNhWBL
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAmhUS7cHqli
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAF1Td7WQRCk
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAxEVr4BkMXB
Danny: “June, wait!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAeNz8VYe1oq
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANABpfP1IzWMn
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA0rfxjbkdXi
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA6FiKi4uO6C
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAzxDxHoT2Lv
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANADDhGroPLQ0
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAg4o0stUfQQ
Danny: “Whoa!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAAsEmhsCyBc
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAyJEqcqeLFP
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA4gxelFtCVU
Juniper: “Ready.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA4SgdUqgper
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAIV86EpxgiS
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAYMvizdbTXp
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAIoKFWC9cSv
June: “GAAAH!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA0iFTVxIPYC
Danny: “June!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAfp5Uqa5jxn
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAGR8EnrtmD7
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAmQQj8SMuHr
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAPGomgcsIHu
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAoStB37ssUw
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAOfQ8S4MDCA
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANALYNjMGw3Yv
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANABRJaZtnE9a
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA1hLXBd18Tk
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAdyqPQQMNwt
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAU4ge1O8Bwj
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAMKHIZ9WO8y
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAI3pxCPgvG3
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAAybvW5jeZ0
Juniper: “I-”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAgg57gdWiIU
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAvdO5MBe9Un
Juniper: “Huh?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAU8XECgfNRL
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAlgYAV1lKYk
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAa0VR6kObgs
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
122Please respect copyright.PENANAl2voLttJiT
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!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAVKD9PDWAcX
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAgH1MdT3rCh
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAgJXdcOB4RO
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA0FhWXfqcfU
Juniper: “Good idea.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAYJwnba0pCt
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhGLmYVRHtD
Juniper: “Yeah!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAnejlMKTs4m
Unos: “Nice try!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAjpcHECD3v0
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAouNxBxIpLP
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANApT3AkEpejR
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAvWI3QXJxFJ
Juniper: “Plan C?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAsh9rOCUAKo
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAIWFTF17qAJ
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAuFRjYXdEyg
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAnsvBgaJPqW
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAKjFNx1rDwg
June: “GAAH!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAFEXssOhDHm
Danny: “On no!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAuFuF6nYHfv
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA8D039rBa75
June: “Ugh, again!?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANADWjKFNjoBO
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?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANATQejKtfkjP
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAkvQoNiOIop
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAp8avV2QrpI
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANASXTNUk57Zd
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAxGDMjsXgw7
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAdUENL8WwGh
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANACSJO0SHlUB
Juniper: “Hurry!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAj2nVSpzY3N
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAfC9hJmz4oS
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?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAVln5wXbMWg
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAPHcSuKbZ35
Unos: “Tch.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAB4Q3WyyyHA
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAxDKVrQdnbL
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAikAD2m024X
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAAeWUSrJFn4
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAnH6ZTd47e6
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA9AeSw3MRwj
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANALYB3kGt471
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAMUCAH2mRSf
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAzJCkCgPJ6h
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAYy9uW4uQBj
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAit4diXfRlT
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA2kNsYoyUr1
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANALctMRUpkiN
122Please respect copyright.PENANAVU9FarJfJA
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAVCAwq0JuDl
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAeY9Z7WttjN
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAHur7NmQXVH
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA0nNwcpGxc7
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA2U8ypFztCI
Unos: “What are you-”
122Please respect copyright.PENANADN5zFcI05a
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA0H4Sn8rV8v
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAWuu2HAgPMr
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAbHMcUeDD70
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANADlhMBIxxZR
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?
122Please respect copyright.PENANAJHLufBUKOR
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAd1uRvqDMDk
Juniper 2: “What the-”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAPNO95ltRhy
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAnZwlBxPT17
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAc02bgVPzki
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAsOdu6KTIRK
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAc4Hxoz0SZl
Fear.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAJbwXuCZr65
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAOamJ8vZmaT
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA5kJB8rP2Xk
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA4iQdn634He
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAS0WBZClWtc
Unos: “N-No!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAOs3w2q43AJ
Juniper 2: “Now!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAZzBkgheqWa
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAidG5uHia6L
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANALErV2GswrZ
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAf6eRujNnEZ
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAriBmqcKN8o
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAdL27jVzA6O
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAgH0t5IhpVK
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAcJNTKo8W8Y
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAHxDMUDVQxd
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA4Gv322D2ZN
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANARpUY2lZnw5
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAbEavTSSvL5
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA1R6t6uHCt4
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAtL97WxTR7i
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAVL3V5H4MUW
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhv4LS49VUI
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAbpHa6jl6Eu
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANApSSQcTjATU
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANATFcsXCL7kO
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAnTYjShEpPz
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA6tHHhdSxeU
Juniper 1: “Who?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA9mJe8v0ajR
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANADvFepzWcE3
122Please respect copyright.PENANAoHuQgPRTSV
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA3DX9eDhei5
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAspYZ9ogP3P
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANARaBmnPKRUk
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAuM7xUZv2Wg
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAMznr2Yevsu
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAxz1BviImMC
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAFiWCsmPBPW
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANArYYhlt0lR7
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAyUETr0xNE3
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAKhnQU6Yk6s
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAbtQUkVdors
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAMKaBv0xo7V
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAGgN2CaoFRM
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAZUoNOp1Iov
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAj77tgaGsNs
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANADXa56XUD9I
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAxS6CVgx3vn
Juniper 2: “Right.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAlRVazpzcbw
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAvSQyeKkqKm
122Please respect copyright.PENANAbto7z6xeSM
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAjTjQj0Pgs7
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAgQl6JMpRY3
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAvg664a2ClW
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA7wAsprgh4q
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAxd0f8dZkOq
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAkpzfu8IZ3T
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAXNSpYpImuA
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAje7sEIjObZ
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAP4oWRKrREO
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAFAgQa1uWQ0
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA7n016AXJx0
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAPRuqxy6eT6
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAqmDOLPWvEA
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAqe1sHWVrd7
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAAqKpz78R0k
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAqV0Ffi9jvc
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANARKPB7lRWCt
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAyTXmJAcqyh
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAHIONKa8L2H
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAm4Uc6wSMja
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAaasnkPsPfU
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAkNp2o3XbTH
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA0sAZB1bTCs
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAd5VzgaJJNK
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAXy85J9FIns
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANATtKP5EMSoa
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAv6aSUBZALd
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANADJ0yU0v3xl
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAH7T7kfahl3
Dos: “Great!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAW0eiVw98ZL
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhsHnoFikxT
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA2GiePQARQk
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAEN4VzyPXB8
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAI2xWkT8DDW
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
122Please respect copyright.PENANAEdzPQix4Yc
122Please respect copyright.PENANA3GwIdvJRHu
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAUnjp9sKMnE
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
122Please respect copyright.PENANArqpqy1ISZy
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAtxjQZWH45J
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAbjaNrKP8ug
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAbUgaj0jbjR
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA8crU3TrgoK
The Junes: “Later.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAnXHMlpOpIg
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAHTVmUFlpLv
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”

The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAYd8OW8WjPO
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
122Please respect copyright.PENANAI6Fl9Eexs3
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
122Please respect copyright.PENANATwk2fhu9uk
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhKW0R8ZssZ
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAUj6ov8bA9K
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAdOnBr2ftub
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAUVSDARxPrj
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAjdGYlZn1Ta
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAX83sQDb2Tm
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAv2GU3j1NyX
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA7leheWqnTu
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAcFPklVSvya
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA8htJ5PCX3h
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA5kuvTdDsra
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAcmPLQsyFDe
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANADeuJFOe1Dh
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAYaUgdfn23M
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAj8bIGSRcIx
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAiFykupEYNm
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAyGaZKEc9CZ
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAL7P80Rd8VP
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAMpP9AZrk7P
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAKuJ47mTITP
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAKlNLUzGXMr
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0970Zqt3o
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAZXEmOO98OT
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAYPYGthskXl
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAR97oROM0lR
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANARkpbQCGyjX
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAIq3WsyhCje
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA7P5HG0TkWU
122Please respect copyright.PENANASea5jG9eu8
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAmlbegiQBc3
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAPN8nKMVFuy
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAww1ZfsBf3g
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAPH3aJxZvau
Unos: “Untie me!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA3MJV0Y3OXV
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAYOWoKOTMP2
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAjS8ogcOB6l
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANArUaFUP5IDn
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANABq3DCp0xbm
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA0zxJWdeJWD
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAFdHdWjQVie
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAHEgBfYOleH
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANADkpwcNDXzp
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA4eCsPzx3z9
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAk6wIfQBk5u
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAS8lBdwEeLh
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANADYA8G0cpUK
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAQEjdVlTRP5
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAetS0X1vxCQ
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA9vCc5Ch9oh
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAql82mnH9Oj
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAdpHEflxQGp
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA7g71veLJnA
Unos: “… Never.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAtEC7aqB8T2
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAIvdaoTKNXi
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAdhwIbjBIHx
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAOwRWQmWArg
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAAcrJEJvB7Y
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAZzkbdmXB6I
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAg6FUJpuB03
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAfve1rso0ep
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAp7FH8K2mFh
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAEOPlm7MtT7
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA43A7MP3d2m
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAkYcXKXuTsn
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?
122Please respect copyright.PENANAAyL5s1Fqmp
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA7N3W9ABBgL
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAE4mSydD4Q0
Dos: “Same.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA3paMIvkrWL
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAenQ2EHvLPj
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA5mc3CQdQJ3
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAmBHrwRBPnX
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAsApx4zbzeP
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAJa8M1EpMzV
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAHFz3vK0RAa
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANABhp3oeqn6T
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAk6EQyk32JX
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANApfHBGYZtIJ
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAE6XGAC9qzd
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAfudJ7YrYNC
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAWWIRckoqCp
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAMZhIHbJMfN
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAzGeiutNHpO
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAOYItB15o8Y
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2Bo6LWwHs
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAYxRVMmUEHd
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA20J9zbvUph
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAixJLumrC7q
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA4oI1EOPPlZ
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAvCGpdQ7Ec9
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
122Please respect copyright.PENANApqG6bSa3nm
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANALuzHtbfFJ6
“Yeah!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAKFLnWlenKM
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAbtz3Kv7Svg
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAV8LC8zbdeW
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAv0T2IsFhC3
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAmrc0kGuwAs
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAHHG7HpL3PA
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAwwah22ugTr
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAVLyu7vVpsU
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAt31kBGJRuj
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2CLhXJnOX
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAI80akU1eXY
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAzHV179FD3J
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAUmVvWunaeT
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANApPxJ1DqBSM
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAl9Rkk27OJB
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAjxCLp17pY2
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAXe9rKmmHv8
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAwzPy5lCrKH
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAFjguL2ZUhw
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA30XCa7jbzH
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAtI8SFzHVpD
Juniper 2: “What?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA1SppHT8QDR
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAQmS4upyRrU
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAIfam34hqIV
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?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAPvY3gcG9vd
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANArJ4GT9Ur4l
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAXJDTNPIxlQ
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAmaoMd07dnx
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAVOVzqo3WmV
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANANgIBGeQs7M
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ67lYquiR
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAfG9HfwF1FT
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAbUtfoOshK7
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAmYnJeewODh
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA1F2LmgG24i
122Please respect copyright.PENANAzPhfxTxg5G
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAJCXMq7JEcP
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAinVAyAwTts
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAKpHcc1W5t3
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAKzoK6ImPuy
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAUzP53MgwRF
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAfFaben98oD
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANArKRusCyOPH
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAdlvBfpSqe4
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAULa5LQgHai
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAkrfJy0EH9K
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAO2gRBHLQmE
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAgjD4wbmM6M
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANARIxFlPrelQ
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA8OKUru8Pd0
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAQPcGKIcako
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA1bFPbnPXYP
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAJs89hd6TL9
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAwnEGIM8siE
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAE3dHeJTljb
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA8XyqpkaRv0
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAtZzvEEAp3Y
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAXf6Pqhy99w
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?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAQQVDPBMBMI
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAmKicbZi0GK
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANABNq7W4flyQ
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAOfNr3h9uNG
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAUbx2avFlN6
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANANs3tUEr3sP
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAXQjcTaphn4
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAdpbCbW2itv
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANANsO41wX8CM
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAGyTThjHQAQ
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAf9j1qzYgsf
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAOT1t9TCdYh
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAHHGTrjkC61
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA8JZQ2AM4Rv
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAq2RnKIQmMg
Juniper 2: “No way…”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAv1tGME1SwM
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?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAZ69ZcR2RFB
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA4CTv2nbtDM
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAQzQDg2fP5r
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAeYxMDxHLcL
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAZOhhx5efkF
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAAMkDn7Tgz3
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAfZkgsTurjt
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAWaZZImdbiT
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA3c0Yi4j5E3
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAuvltSNfXhu
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAQv34kU90Bj
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA08uzuNOU7m
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAduvWVt8KB9
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA7IwxVqcQen
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAzWJgOY3Zm7
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAn636c0R1n0
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA6o6h78ceIS
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAcac7ZJwuFY
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAm7Yw0xMzN3
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAOrACfCsHnr
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAx2cuWLOrik
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAnZdjcQk985
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAS65g406cln
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAl3MpEaCQEa
Juniper 1: “Well… try to look at the bright side; you can leave Orchid Bay. Maybe you can even become an astronaut for both of us.

Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAjzjflE5AkY
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAB5SND9oKEp
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA7N37xXC5BG
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANASfv6FDcFV9
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAm20aPWGERj
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA0Bqhng6qai
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAEOfKnG3ZVc
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA0VJzhQWzIv
She says as she pats his head.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAnRqnZvz33r
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAUADBHHp2Sy
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAduQjH64DEO
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAQbzixxi6L4
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAl6hZxMTHed
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAkNiJcB6jzD
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAkP8CFi6fnp
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAzVT77dSKtc
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANATbq8uIDHbE
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA7TMCh1LIOh
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
122Please respect copyright.PENANABAurRcoj2e
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAnG4DSyzl68
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANADE53puNh5D
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAK6CXT0IXaI
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANACqDEaYUNgQ
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAniJ1hviXlU
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAx5eKBwuTWB
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA68rDwdA5Cm
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!?
122Please respect copyright.PENANAzwWaBNwf9c
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAk85maAMxJD
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA62CQixUSMw
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAFqrCX28I6K
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhWecYBKaZf
She had no friends here.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAOB4ikHZhyZ
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAP4k7hc72Xo
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAd2v98zDfAx
She was… alone.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAM5yksIJVNb
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAf4NKRiltz3
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
122Please respect copyright.PENANA7NWpjm8g6S
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAhjdIN0sNrL
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
122Please respect copyright.PENANAcVziDRGchz
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAsT8KudXq9P
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANA1WONowjifz
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAoy8y86CebC
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAe9up1gskPD
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAtzeTIcB6x8
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.”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAoWBn4S4yqi
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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAHxjgdNIufY
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
122Please respect copyright.PENANANFHkKeN5Iw
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
122Please respect copyright.PENANAlPimrdlP3i
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAaiVfCO5wYB

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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAiYqXw1rdxk
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
122Please respect copyright.PENANAbr6uT3JgXI
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
122Please respect copyright.PENANArLaUf4uqxz
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA5fE8OKAvxv
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAcJtDKEniyY
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA5E0TFzBTnK
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
122Please respect copyright.PENANA5nwR0szZbp
- 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.
122Please respect copyright.PENANAn4BI4SBc2m
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
