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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAjHIwwvvb7r
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANATv0zIis16G
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAxtbRtDl0yq
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAJoIhejJSDQ
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAlH5bf8Zsoj
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAFC8JGFS9ct
Unos smiles before answering.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAUzy29y0bTl
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAxhyILoAr0s
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAgjjoqvRKqj
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAVxMMd6Xv0J
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAxTnd2iAOHM
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4EeyChqlR
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAbWdzgm6BoL
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAn17bd1A1zr
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAsbOC7CgSKA
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAUynOpGKGTy
Danny: “June, wait!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAnBxH3bjsR5
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA00q0lI0EmP
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAYsmS7YAQnn
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA7o0vWCZc6u
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAyL5sOJV2lA
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA4kwWBNWbVZ
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAgbskS1pcjs
Danny: “Whoa!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAfCPghgTSCu
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAKe3viKG2DJ
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA8e0Rd05nF4
Juniper: “Ready.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAGt6e2SwW4C
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA1G68UQ43gp
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAPw2MGgRFd7
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAF7lnQAz0fH
June: “GAAAH!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAgjnKU3eeXx
Danny: “June!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANATvxHUUBfwo
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
315Please respect copyright.PENANABUzzu85lod
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAjL18Qg4s8w
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAC8XXYOntI9
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAnZvVxOk8pI
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAu2CsUlzQUG
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAnnKhuBXKw0
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA0cWVYd4JQ2
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAwM9ocL743F
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA9gErK4e6kx
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA8pPCcxwIYo
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANASEQNCiHknp
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAbm3GhDR1HH
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANADWfPtJklls
Juniper: “I-”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAOcbFFCZ4X1
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAUzAvkXKESJ
Juniper: “Huh?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAbmbXxijGon
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAcyYCoanfA3
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAB1Fsn3h7Ki
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
315Please respect copyright.PENANAZupNuHdQt6
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!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAevl73sATm5
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANABjlGSOMFw5
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAs8k1ps4wO2
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAap9NQlD3VZ
Juniper: “Good idea.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAf9Ieby4v3F
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANATtRM4cM79i
Juniper: “Yeah!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAqqMDwwZnYz
Unos: “Nice try!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAIDKBRaLPbL
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA3jdbSqJaqU
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAeykpQhTjFc
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXj0DslXBLv
Juniper: “Plan C?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAewYNrxIEZn
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAe8kvJTxCwq
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAn70wfgyD7a
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAL0T94INgV7
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAlwj7M9y6Px
June: “GAAH!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA5jgAux7n4E
Danny: “On no!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAbonyHIKUlp
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA2TSuB6o26r
June: “Ugh, again!?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANACUMnC4xNYk
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?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAmnzYAPDq7z
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA9DgcMC2dPm
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAbuLhJf6AIU
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA1DRIoncVNM
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA5dOqYBZ94P
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA915K82EiFV
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAL2LTRTqKVv
Juniper: “Hurry!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAhUhGQlwPKY
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAx3x7Is9Uit
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?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAiXk0ljrF86
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA8o6kOk7HTP
Unos: “Tch.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAAPqyLqM333
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAwa5DG7k4Lt
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA0XHQvVvaSs
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAw5RmeE9DFW
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXKZAtkhf7r
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAjRWSV2ADOK
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAcV1lKw1Ari
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA4HZg8WpwT4
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAYWnpeojy3H
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXLreOhu4RH
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAqWcfYoAdEu
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANATBuH2dslFc
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA1MK51kRoPf
315Please respect copyright.PENANAk3EltIMUfQ
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA11hMJPH6IR
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAJO45AW9t0M
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAFZCiFwdI6r
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAkyA9BuXxfZ
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAkvlLolYp4s
Unos: “What are you-”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXMTZu5POkq
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAtNXK8MVXD8
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANARKjjgu8TTB
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXDc6xfoXDg
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAYSoY5GUxZ1
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?
315Please respect copyright.PENANAHxQKQpEkdV
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAZFG1tAFN8O
Juniper 2: “What the-”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA01Ac0Z24lY
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAJfayvDsXsI
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXKNijSr1S4
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAuF9MxsAPMF
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAyofU5a0OMK
Fear.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAjx6UtVrkLV
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA3VXC1qDR2K
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAYOm3lJaC6I
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAr2iIzJWpe0
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAJMJQY3pZOV
Unos: “N-No!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANARTlOLJkTUC
Juniper 2: “Now!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAKv28d8nOuD
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAeetT5PxkwK
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA7BYzvgk5VJ
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAYoeMUfkk44
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAetFMp1x0Ic
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAyEIlZpwz8h
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA2RlvGFU1TV
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAjBxzGPNxVI
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAoXAJmMjVDR
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAQplN3gh8IC
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z7JPWSLde
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAzJQRfkvVMh
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAiexFQBkaiF
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAU0MbCOv9ZO
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXyj1he1oRU
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAm7rBYsn9Eu
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANApSFkwf3ndw
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAW8sCsJFuDz
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAgAOzIrH8Ga
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA3FXfPcaVU0
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA21UJvYo093
Juniper 1: “Who?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAZSFSv7sMQh
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANARKZtgkQrA9
315Please respect copyright.PENANAs7qe9uxjj2
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXm8dsezhe8
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAISai5L0ljb
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAK31DcX5b4Z
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAkzDgjMJBuA
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANADK3UhZyIjh
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANADYqJO42VUI
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAKVclyqmgPq
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAsSKPf9ERTA
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAVZuesSj0JX
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANANucyDlXmkc
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAdAngcOJ1tb
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAxIhBXk0zaI
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3fgtxPNIi
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAJsufw3q6uq
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA2JqZtOV2yn
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAtlsuRTGYgZ
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA46BVZalNsI
Juniper 2: “Right.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAIe9bLOtazh
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAfKlggMQtXM
315Please respect copyright.PENANA7OphU0cIrF
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAJFRbaRCJZc
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAUpYLPhsVWJ
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAfwVVP0yIRl
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAEjj04gWgXj
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA23uyHHH78I
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAdYGjYAOM8D
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
315Please respect copyright.PENANABPkLYlgCeC
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAG3khd9IPwY
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA1iE9sRx2tA
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAytrdSfl4jz
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAxcfbAjrrtC
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAhOelfmbZqO
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANATRXxZMK7tv
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA5AeG7qNEDP
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAvXGUZRRQxM
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAgeaAnmySOX
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAMm9JKNOBwD
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAVp5OC7L1Nt
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA9ks3Mwy8jQ
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANALeIwmENu0e
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA0LjBJpvxVZ
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA2XFUKvGpaz
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA8amKCOVYuU
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANARToqncPTTI
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAx8DkmqXmCx
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAgATTM4LSOv
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAdon1AfilyN
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAxqm7iBmsqV
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA71fd2dnreQ
Dos: “Great!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAtk2MDDZ4hm
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAqgHjJgcTeV
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZHE2wbd6A
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANANxmoOortGF
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAUB8c8EAn1w
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
315Please respect copyright.PENANARi77iWdNEc
315Please respect copyright.PENANAzVbgCrckKU
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAbMTXRme1cI
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAcEFo20zihh
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAnVDOIS1jLc
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAL56VleR4MN
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA6RfN6YLV33
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAj3ryijre5a
The Junes: “Later.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANACTe1btWP4l
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAyimCdjRbUZ
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAWGrojcgaxq
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
315Please respect copyright.PENANAxGiqKWPCeQ
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXg9oBCt4HA
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAsMlj26zDtS
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAGy9E63EShh
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAH2tcPfgxO4
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA2k4jhL0p3Q
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAZXMZBr0HXw
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAH028ljR6FC
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAM8h0hDD1wV
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANApnq15X9JNf
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA5GSshsM2ZD
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAPp5C3iODOQ
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAiH41gPzews
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA02bS85qxwp
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAHhQyS38nn4
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAByNz7uR1AU
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANANsN3kEJ8mA
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
315Please respect copyright.PENANATZeFbiug2t
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAt18GRelqHA
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANANwp1QUXAv8
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAFNvXugxcMI
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANADiLcLY9Rm3
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAV2W76CGZdV
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAgThpwei3U6
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANARezEq5xjiF
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANACf2BfRJEvW
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAePhhsvAnIQ
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANArOcdsTNalF
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANArCpJdM1Z06
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
315Please respect copyright.PENANACd8SFHbJs1
315Please respect copyright.PENANAw6pBvot9Ch
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAzLkJv1hvFk
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAAsBHOzoc0q
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAqObyDWdAFc
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAVbFJ9s3Xsp
Unos: “Untie me!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAfREyWq5MMc
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANApNCXDeuR7L
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA9yaQyM7R2d
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAd1sQbtnngB
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAx90qdL49UU
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAm8sNPb14hf
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANArLCJHiqcBh
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAsynzTHlUr4
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANATP4rBe54wX
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAg6SJUHTQ9t
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAlh8uBrSDSP
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAhanfOzfOo2
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAxPWlBuwTcd
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAzSdaqeHPp3
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAJdvb4Cif6u
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA1E1xUYz8ti
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA8FJbkxu3ob
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA9zLNS2Q1C3
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANACn9pAEKetx
Unos: “… Never.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANACjdj4nPVGV
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAcv6kTHQT9O
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA71bV8Bu0Ax
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAaTNyfQLbyS
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAceJKkoXRIL
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA2AXSjXbFLG
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
315Please respect copyright.PENANARTR4qy4lEx
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAp2DTxW8HUp
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAdQRquQUYS7
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANApsfbVZ5lva
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAz99Nk7bJIb
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAwsNdC1ADoc
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?
315Please respect copyright.PENANAKGFq1M471M
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAM1nBbJzomf
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANACzeyqRXZvq
Dos: “Same.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAvuUb1kHYwA
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAxGAHrnebjs
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA7uYD7CA2Gq
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA5a04t1uP6N
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAEkuOuJyfI8
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAkvMLKmrT9V
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAx1T78XeEsJ
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANASUu0NOVs1w
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA0zR8K2cLx3
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAZFa6n7TGIC
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA4BTTv85tzm
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAgR2aaRlZYb
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
315Please respect copyright.PENANALenAdXEt6d
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAyfijOub7sL
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAoqA9AtKECR
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAX8ITNQSxNZ
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAPeXJdJ1I4h
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXzni44nzcK
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAzr6GoBEIOI
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANANd6P33YnKn
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAA5y9A0rqbe
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAWugw7am2yb
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
315Please respect copyright.PENANAItGL3qgi7n
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAET0wwpJfrO
“Yeah!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAnKWFZ14dth
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAK6tWqRVAw9
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
315Please respect copyright.PENANACQaykkdlJ9
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANADdo5JEoXia
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAPVWHb5LyGv
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA2JzyxziSen
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAUVxH8dmXSm
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ8vlIGKUl
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAEzdoJYEt8m
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAVPTyWnQ0wU
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAy0OOcAmJct
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXVe5Tuqg9a
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANABzalrXh2mD
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA9QpFGW98xN
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAHWBZpRRfXW
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANArWc5ukXaxm
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAFtgpuEGvcb
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAd0QmYUsapW
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAmq0t9DwIcT
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAdXEpYftZEo
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXXUCtjQJAr
Juniper 2: “What?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAG9DujYCzz5
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAqeMtbCx0qa
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANApRIaLlE3u0
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?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA06ZavraktE
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAIHncZjeuea
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANACwg4Q9Qmar
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAjS3waK34Oj
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAJWwewBqhyN
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAwKIPFcBZJu
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAU4dDQg0ojx
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAGDOqdx2gp1
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANADpYMLEKDXs
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANATF588OBw43
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAn9kCiXKDj2
315Please respect copyright.PENANA3EXbeNBvmE
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAnz7doubWo5
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA8UQS9ycwhk
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANASFhiUENCuV
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAI7ECQsA83T
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAlu4DvEB4XU
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAlFeRHl5qO0
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAN2XtNacBxl
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAGF0lC0o8WN
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA6eWqBR6LWr
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANATHGq3kDtYL
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAJwDv7RmTXw
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAvgpyE8OdFo
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAbkPX9ntfNq
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXECzGGjrDU
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAJ87ROHMDUN
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAiRxVMVLF4X
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAWsGGxjlJL3
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAmbFslxRTNQ
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAPuMNgd1RQt
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANATnuvaUgbod
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAp8JFjIgukK
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAvw6vp1RqxI
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?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAHCuUE7tcSv
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAi4UeiRpvNf
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAr1QZ9P8U8j
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAbsZFDFhmnw
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAbgKBPiQejq
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA8MxNt88DFb
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAglYq5USikZ
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAWb64n7xpQg
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAPFvPXAJiqw
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANADsTxwm77Cc
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXVhId1cWwX
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAdEC5gM7qNp
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA4ONJnKBzuH
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAXAZug7exqX
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAGfcGO33e7H
Juniper 2: “No way…”
315Please respect copyright.PENANADY8MT89qxW
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?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA3T3sGRiqXm
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAOANFWJuBzw
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAo14Z39mcHE
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA61Q7TwAN0Y
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA1xpYU5PN7c
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANASF2sMESNQx
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAnhojPnEyJa
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAw29DoObfdv
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
315Please respect copyright.PENANALeYOz4KyKK
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA4uCJEOy5Xt
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAncLvqJLBI1
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAqUAPqpqO1K
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAYwtvsZAQ4y
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAsOHPcj9cIa
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA3xjIaCSNDd
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAVNiwWlH59I
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAnuZ4RKInJO
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANApS4yaoMTTw
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAyzailyHTwi
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANATF6s24hPfO
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANADztJcneFup
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAy8lfyTxqj1
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANApI5BoL3pOw
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA8xsNIkvfgL
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAglPAgB53Ub
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAo0sUSUeIEg
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA62BGsZD2UH
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAbBa7jdcLLN
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAL3uvEWuBvi
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA2gyzSk8KDe
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAhBVB7DFYhY
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAuarqxF7yGj
She says as she pats his head.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAsXZRV9Qn7o
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAxv5lJJt8ef
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAsWXA6LfNXg
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAFRgahdjfFc
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAWdC173ONkH
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAKvDzVJTfPA
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAQJZ6gtHM5c
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAo9sSggsJFW
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAGlCuoXYCzM
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA1e2KfqcH2v
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAaQMCj2SorB
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAV4FhsTYN1t
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAzfsOPaNGK8
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA4cDpDwyRpc
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAmDiK4jXt54
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAAKlVrNJAsx
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAyWzMHleYQc
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAyRZiujX6fk
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!?
315Please respect copyright.PENANA8g8KygYwIk
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANApqMRcge1rZ
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAJxQxWjscDS
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA8ij3DZZUdo
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAcmPY9Pals4
She had no friends here.
315Please respect copyright.PENANANZUWRnb8ws
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
315Please respect copyright.PENANARSn0H9lbKu
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAiPs2kzqgBZ
She was… alone.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA2MFNTD0aVT
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAqGLsVxx0JL
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
315Please respect copyright.PENANAQJC5KcID3U
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA1dC35bitwD
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
315Please respect copyright.PENANAeVXU4MsH8a
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA3IWPvf3qnJ
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA4hr3NOK3cn
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAS4DMqhSsO2
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAyIitIUgFuw
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
315Please respect copyright.PENANA5dJQFXlnMM
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.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAKVSaDZuCkS
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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANApe8xiJwKmX
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAVVv2fjhyjh
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA015nNdV61C
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAVsc0BaUsEv
To Be Continued

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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAuG5PK47Y5B
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
315Please respect copyright.PENANALomxNrNHvt
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAf0R5wCjsND
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAMYjBVIUaB4
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAh18hCDui9d
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
315Please respect copyright.PENANArUIu3AdWXf
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAi0R4vKOqxJ
- 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.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAv5RcjJvIC9
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
