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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA5IsQ5Fyl0j
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA9V3hsYkuJX
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6ZUje5jMd
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA3VuVx0lU6I
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAxrX21TpzkY
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAOVkfPTK8dW
Unos smiles before answering.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAmBtivvTol7
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANASBeptGZ7SK
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAfJAuTzGDic
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAV0UTjrtn4K
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAnfN2PrpVl9
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA4V72J6wBJx
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANArHlIacVaNp
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANArlTYmjpAgK
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA7rjXZ89ZAw
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAZVnOn3LYYK
Danny: “June, wait!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAiPDdVh9isw
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAX6ZnsApWpJ
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAMvIqgdap0u
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAxNwE2F41Si
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAnBDyECqG5I
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAW9HZs1QRZD
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA91ZXBCBcbl
Danny: “Whoa!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAR6xPJWNQwz
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA5xIWAzwz57
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAAnSG3NjG7n
Juniper: “Ready.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAHUkdohkYEJ
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA2tW4xV9N2k
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA0QGRhsfux4
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAT14e7Fbo2f
June: “GAAAH!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANARKH0LloASt
Danny: “June!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAt2hvzO0PcS
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAeAFUxLLHaH
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAgFPdiRd1PI
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
24Please respect copyright.PENANANTGzezwucr
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA2TLDiCR2TA
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAaW0qqnvENQ
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA7sanUFH98I
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAKlcCdP5WpJ
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAWgvoU3JTXc
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAXcoKRiRfhV
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAsc4OJ8Auaz
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAR2uUYAG899
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAUKwkRMz6wR
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAiTd0cTNOkG
Juniper: “I-”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA7umlthjghh
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAdPKbeeoyBs
Juniper: “Huh?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA5S4d3FIS1h
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAHjpOw7nW6m
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAoohAdZ109y
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
24Please respect copyright.PENANAWVDK1CdS41
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!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANArZlHmAtxBi
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANABGsvZf9jk4
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAz23A1CV8IX
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAg5lzloE6yz
Juniper: “Good idea.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAXjoS0oxvO7
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAwNF4Oarvx8
Juniper: “Yeah!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAYvpjkqtaQc
Unos: “Nice try!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAkiJG3QbBVK
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA5B2SSlr5G2
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAQccjVZ2yQ9
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAaLS9Zlzv0F
Juniper: “Plan C?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAkSvDUmdnzT
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAUVxC1ci7kx
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANATiBNbPB2L1
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAuXSGTcHynk
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAp7LXxlNacY
June: “GAAH!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAj9jwNmw5Po
Danny: “On no!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAroiQGyGoSo
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAOf7452GWv5
June: “Ugh, again!?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAJdF7lZY2FE
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?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA6XmXtp8RBT
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAMmdZUHbCsT
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA3KuU5qT1pG
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAWzj7B3voJ9
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAWto0paLtpK
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAFPNXs13odw
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAMPTIiRDuj7
Juniper: “Hurry!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAH7ePNrXqeu
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAPNWpgoUhDa
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?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAO2YlJ6b1Te
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAQFLl853z9R
Unos: “Tch.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAijVP7pQWGa
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAU5h3cHjoaz
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAqDcgcTGUdF
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAz730URXeSQ
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAtQAzFyEnn7
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAODQQBjuPIe
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAcfc68tIbgU
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAlQkrjiiDNe
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAte81ede3KI
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAXGbQVopQjE
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAuTnsdqRQQ6
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAlkJ07ejXaU
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAqTuTitBOk7
24Please respect copyright.PENANA5R2xDpDexF
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAiFoybU34m9
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAevV4xcSIFz
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAnaflpI8uAe
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAgt1ti9bguK
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
24Please respect copyright.PENANApYrEF0HMV0
Unos: “What are you-”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA9dgMlC6s1T
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAddQ6aaIM2U
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA0k7zXWoOnk
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAZU6mkRKtHb
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAlCE4tGegva
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?
24Please respect copyright.PENANAcvVYPghprs
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA98wXnCtqY3
Juniper 2: “What the-”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAkrUaRmG22q
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAVXQZ493Mb9
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAUtXlxxFBm8
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAAaKDjbbShl
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAPdNIOnAeXh
Fear.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAHeCngEumDZ
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANABLDapuKcGZ
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAgJuCK4WyI9
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAco04MM3zst
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAmNbiqSUvjy
Unos: “N-No!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAzL1wnb5VMz
Juniper 2: “Now!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAVALJSkD0id
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAmjWaHiKzGP
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANASSlJp0PItL
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAhDnTXFJgcD
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANACxjX7XPWZW
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
24Please respect copyright.PENANADr7W0xV3UP
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANANxoUiYwmHZ
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
24Please respect copyright.PENANALwzm652TRS
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAihAy49oeQQ
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA8aVUMp6bjb
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAYuL05FclqQ
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAkfngjOKSuz
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAKKPqqvg7V6
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAW78Y0JZ0Dk
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAHDVYEGLLHy
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAiSL3O2E1Xn
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANApRqPr8tDy1
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA0jYIhJvtKY
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAojaQFgav56
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAO4OboZOEmS
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAu0ICxrkpxu
Juniper 1: “Who?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAVbqDTmANh8
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAp9IGB5qnjP
24Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ1nn8W6jH
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAgqOMbTkhrj
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAgnlwFxj2g7
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA8RxRxhyMCy
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA28aBlQWHjS
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA1sPzYT7uRQ
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANABEy8CKZQKC
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAQzut6nzWJT
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANARtblv6r34q
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAHJCVpe0fX1
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAZNoB9NGazX
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA5ohZUU3PEo
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA2OZRLQU5CR
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANALONxoFyMu9
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAoUnPlwNe6C
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAcF7VdQRKou
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAF8Xk3eyRSG
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAbWr1suFO3o
Juniper 2: “Right.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAkbvImld7uC
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAB4XAaNFLmM
24Please respect copyright.PENANA0D5mgrEljJ
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAg2YZDJlIPx
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA1KN1bQc3mh
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANARl5oksaD0v
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAexzq1pEChV
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAHnIAkKYSIX
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANALFrfidIJHA
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA9NTsLxGi9J
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAe6qIxIkj1V
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAxZPSgEh9ag
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAUi6aCEaq6T
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAZZoquM2Wox
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAI51H5vnpqO
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAg9SbdWUhfV
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA5gf0Y1VztW
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAr9v42OV5XH
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAgGSw3Z23X7
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAdbF6MWjuM0
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAezgbEshNfM
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAUIHAgEzrhJ
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAnwJgoOdtCA
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANATvxCkO01u0
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA8erXv5Db6h
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAriLTbr5LyG
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAodKj5XfyFV
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAIZu2BOBVge
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA1a20bJw9NG
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANANpJhmuNKEe
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA56kXgyW2yD
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAGKPXkJ2MDD
Dos: “Great!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAMsMSp2Z56W
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAkAdPhRd18s
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAurZDRhONgE
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAdG2SVwlhPU
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANApcP6WsxizD
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
24Please respect copyright.PENANAXviSRhRVwW
24Please respect copyright.PENANA5C40U3cLQw
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANASRyMtaTaWw
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA7Pp5FMbwP6
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAsWVnzxxyxs
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAwYzMSC7uD9
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAH8W1Qyhbjp
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAOLnHSWJqOh
The Junes: “Later.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAvhFu5f8UvA
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
24Please respect copyright.PENANArkv87ca2tK
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANABt70BDgaNB
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAoQw2QahoJb
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
24Please respect copyright.PENANA4eH4giISnl
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAe3sRgnozSl
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA3gNSbXFOgm
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAT3EOFpaIwh
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA1OlT5EugKB
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAksHYucDXCk
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAaJbKrHSSVN
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAbnHnRbuY1d
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAt0khVYyI4m
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA72fXqYtfl6
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAcXGfMijCuA
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAh99iwifgi5
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAm3u7JRUe4i
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAv1b3YDaLt4
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAgJIOTHqxSG
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAKIo9dhJhp9
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAPOdl7Qfcg5
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAb8YFWtGqfq
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAOA02UO2hrK
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ggu2BadZc
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA4maIgyrnUL
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAur18T8n4xr
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAoVZvftXCIi
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAefZTdiJJaN
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAbe0gvmUyZ9
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAKgNOZInIKz
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA7xOOLifA9X
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAaoxrHGJUJX
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAo0pweNLT72
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAvtuOx1656w
24Please respect copyright.PENANA0oJccykyK5
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ2qBgzpe7
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAx7yVIvfos3
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAPMLFDwXLcF
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAoaUpzec6wK
Unos: “Untie me!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAbqbKGasmws
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAU8sbeS60Re
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAAXGL7v6pL1
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAAXeIe1Jw1L
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA5ajjKO3J81
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAvkfF2wjcaD
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANACs3YJARVcs
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANATcXIXDMT7M
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAIv1hCq5Lqp
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANArR8PBHHuth
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAPaTvauhB8Z
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA14pXpeiyWS
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAyGnI7OtXUA
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANANAS2x8OARD
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAcjdA9Z6dvb
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAPfSzj2mKd8
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAiBhW5sJSNL
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA6PUz8sk5fD
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ37uwJ35o
Unos: “… Never.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0W59lHAki
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAC27nUP5JHG
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAbEQEeFkgO7
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAKYGW5Nm5W3
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA4eIn9hVenU
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANARzXouObJft
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
24Please respect copyright.PENANABtowza1KAd
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAhaSr9WyEws
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAms6DJ9Jnhe
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAqx4Mc3oRPt
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA8D5aCIcNJl
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAu9YuSRm2c2
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?
24Please respect copyright.PENANAU9Z2DhzNl7
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAFamctcRvqj
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAb1BCYCpkMi
Dos: “Same.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANACPamOYwgJ9
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA0l8AzhNk4D
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAT9fHuzm6UR
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAsBzXNpH7ho
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAqdXLESoOpg
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAhzsSYEUNnp
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAT5qYPKdWVf
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZUGdJG2rc
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAFkEtEqWqxP
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAdS7hgFS4fF
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAAbAW3dZNhM
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAp01HrQXtkK
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAWbUkOO5a7l
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA9gsd4ZwA22
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAPigvhFsfO8
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAbmLzOLocej
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA00QaZFhI6H
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAOyKSXNGpYD
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAdU6Ypa11b3
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAaiP7BMBMb4
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA01fmiAxqhS
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAGTFJRGYNa9
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
24Please respect copyright.PENANArf8y9TRGu4
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAJLYE9tbFDd
“Yeah!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAzKBTKjQr9T
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAtE2C9rbHuv
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAo73ICG6XIn
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAMdyzZA7Ute
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAqOs1smXvY6
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z0QeOG91W
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAw29eeIjTbA
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAEPtI0ORPVq
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAPuDkK0gA99
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA3RFVZg5fU6
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAHvTXXQWbOj
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANARF2VbmDGaI
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANArL6TtEx8do
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAMotRIPZGVx
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAyoiWozi9sF
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAoPotkQMrym
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAGC2j3P0Q5M
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA8vl3Ut1B3F
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
24Please respect copyright.PENANANHYyq1kGNR
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAbI1yAXrxuf
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAUuBA6dYHgx
Juniper 2: “What?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANARJq1JKGwab
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAZHspbCmWFY
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAPI5fqLtHRc
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?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAzFqA533zKp
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAdO8C2CG7Pc
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAhV3PilxfPc
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAsoCvj60V0D
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAW2QdXtusfH
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAQlXbJ9M3FN
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAHF14XQZ7uo
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAlRqQwyBSPO
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAk6onekjdBz
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAZX3e07y5Px
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANArOwvpDaAdT
24Please respect copyright.PENANAA4OBfTEJ5B
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANArdQELrF9CD
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAIdcKxWtMDK
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAo0shSgW3AZ
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAY38FsKSSeP
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAifrb6UH4vB
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA1QHa4EkEcB
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAZlxLJkudfr
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAt6LkKMcFIt
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAPfef60h744
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAT3F1J4cm8D
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAzgBJ6g1tMt
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAzxfIXusXNu
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANACuPOD3Majm
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAMls5pcYK8D
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q0mATBh8t
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA0v4Qc9MZjn
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAI0zwg4Six0
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANASADioziaEj
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAwTr50Xes0v
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAlGtU34NTPy
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA1pe2LWOqKP
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAFB0X91XTpt
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?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAtYWxGh8Prp
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAB0b77xQyW5
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAyC114iRLk4
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA2Htgc4F0mW
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAZEicvkNccI
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAurezrRlnBe
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA8GFmFBtXe9
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAM7AMSUqoY8
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAVXw7MyYYvY
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAXQH9QoYDQu
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAGkUP9Yka8G
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAe3Y1PGUjeY
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAzxwbVnO14H
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
24Please respect copyright.PENANACWxjIP65vu
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA3anrUp6ixS
Juniper 2: “No way…”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAlLomLiNDjG
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?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANATpZ6ZnrYSx
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAq3re2Hc4iy
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAzzDXvgdS3c
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAvBjnjVMAKW
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAh17FxANwi6
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAelnq6Ypr3I
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAJSxSon4MIv
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAc97dpTn4Ii
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAe9EtoyFK0g
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA1JzJqhk8uW
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAkqdvZcmxPG
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANALI847R2Prk
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAt4RoRbM5WT
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA6lpZVdh8fL
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAnDTkrt4qSQ
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANATNlzOry7vj
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAGmXU2D6axj
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANArV9YmC6iJG
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZKm3K0rtd
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAazjQVONwDf
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAKVgLQXJbh4
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAc0Cc7FJcwq
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAUZbL4R2jOM
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAnpIzUhT7b2
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA2h4CB90EzP
Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAA8B6kCcT5l
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANA76jHWWRk17
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAeiI2Mvyxyr
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAjlP4fLydnn
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANANL87GdwO9w
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAcYvZQo62Lq
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANALuZyOBYKYV
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANALXXXkgGfJT
She says as she pats his head.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAmKz5jAu6SJ
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAlIRIjnNVeQ
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAM9mwuA3ZXm
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAeSPIDAnPX3
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAD4GZVbuhGY
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAVGBfvE0mhb
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANATNuHyyP3sS
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAdbNUp2uGsN
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAlAFdDkqWEo
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAW8ZQvHsrQR
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAYBxnb8mO8Q
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANADEJ9Sg7IVv
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANATcGjbIlSX4
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAlJXCX57JAD
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANA6p3i49wcSS
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAe8bUwaRxyk
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAUdu1prYz2P
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!?
24Please respect copyright.PENANAGI6pgmbgf4
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAAATLOrxiLP
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAWaG1Cm3asi
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAnDJVt3vR9z
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
24Please respect copyright.PENANANlFIAcjHEq
She had no friends here.
24Please respect copyright.PENANARwMlCb3YL1
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAnfZ5R34lwc
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
24Please respect copyright.PENANADzxlTwqpZ1
She was… alone.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAqiZsxU9tvM
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAenf1NdI2lh
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
24Please respect copyright.PENANAjTV0Ksm1CO
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAKFVRgOeesL
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
24Please respect copyright.PENANAnsDGH9ItcM
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAee9BAWP3T5
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAmDrHkmuCEc
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAGQPXD1VYUV
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAAln4NJk6xY
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAz8Ma3KH9Wl
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.”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAtGKW5tWj11
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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAJBtdnSckZa
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAytrdANDGCf
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
24Please respect copyright.PENANAtOpIXnBHxU
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.

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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAi3e5dQUtvG
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
24Please respect copyright.PENANAaaubriCOFb
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAFYXuPEWCjb
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAWS8iquHG1j
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAzx7G01ptqj
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAwtfcwLppDQ
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAZVIFV6xR09
- 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.
24Please respect copyright.PENANAtCeksglJrg
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
