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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nGtFDWGGS
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfPoTCZP59
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTCvEPYgqW
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZR2ZGud1z
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc3aZOWl25
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNQFhfVv6X
Unos smiles before answering.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZe94NdIsz
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqxQkvaahP
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2tNIDksnD
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oWOnMKfPp
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyvgmAaa6Z
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX9qjRvEA4
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRYdcRwfNy
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYCOPqRgBr
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYisBNnNYq
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxXgNofzSx
Danny: “June, wait!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO9UxqiYrE
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pifI5BcRN
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh3VNWTXOX
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrtTBW9sI8
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqgdnn1T2K
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo7X6lbaYy
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYpPhEMtue
Danny: “Whoa!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy3FenTAdC
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFPnTmP5hd
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkUtkrWa28
Juniper: “Ready.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6NhK1qYNF
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa9ePnEqj8
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4wWHN6Da5
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv8ifYbFYU
June: “GAAAH!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQVMljQf5c
Danny: “June!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQHjO0a2s8
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU8PnIdVqt
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfSSNLguhZ
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcCGNQTerI
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOP79mRZUM
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JGAuEEpEW
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNOREF4TUT
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIGnzkiyeN
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ned0oVp7C
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbiNJklQLg
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSBa953hAe
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQxTB4WPUm
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc049wtpv4
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeZ9TiiCv8
Juniper: “I-”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ614Ed6QRrr
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31Pu4fYvOY
Juniper: “Huh?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw1WA6jfMt
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RGLs7rMg9
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISjcmYezUd
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhZfF7vm5v
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!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0tRb9nsvD
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYDD0rQsqE
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCtcu40Q11
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsHEyAiD1j
Juniper: “Good idea.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHBUGqOY3r
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfEP32STfS
Juniper: “Yeah!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYqIAw7jNv
Unos: “Nice try!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjyeE3MjMC
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYufyoakYy
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKcsnHFEFA
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbctqGhBTZx
Juniper: “Plan C?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wGSzKoboQ
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKBmquJIXx
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8SBvkj3Jn
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncIyNUSxzR
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78ZhMkqST3
June: “GAAH!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqruJT1aF2x
Danny: “On no!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58Wxt5DfUj
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZZiN3tgpD
June: “Ugh, again!?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEDzxXfrtR
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?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLxVS8acSe
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuKr9ure4Q
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNYVgftRg5
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eipkZOrzx
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQASWu0EFw
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLv7rzVP9U
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmOatQwlbW
Juniper: “Hurry!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2mWKavFEA
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIbvF9pnH2
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?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVlZ31obIj
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhe5aZsdH5
Unos: “Tch.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiaWc09UX8
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1KB7f0dsm
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWa1BdHQdV
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0SxI4RjUH
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60GSKAC22S
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQqIfgfJGp
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgKtC2avV3
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAfZmDEso1
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBe7lgxA8x
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM9BXvOks2
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4aiOxgEpL
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8rGKFOVaj
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1fOOth8uD
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo5gnh92bv
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy3ko9JdL8
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpm4VaPAOZ
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeC7Am95Sc
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp4C0K3M5o
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT5qT7XiQk
Unos: “What are you-”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB7KyiNPz9
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0S8weDSgD
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbLkoit1DO
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCnC8BeuLB
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq5FiYp001
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?
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGYpZAWcKs
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f6pmAAfkn
Juniper 2: “What the-”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KuecujTRW
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7GMc0vrvP
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6ZuaLJnzA
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfCNktrvaJ
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKvkYw6VFv
Fear.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSKk9xjrCW
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YuzPBZZgt
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q0B7owbA1
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgTDuZFhkF
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwlDEjC2BC
Unos: “N-No!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvZZJgvXti
Juniper 2: “Now!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZdCxYeM2e
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncAIPyDnKo
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyCuhGplFr
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o0t7RJVmx
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3vsPQfGQL
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2wx8at0ny
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ANU9hSgsk
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG5Np79PnP
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡossMAx9O2r
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkFHBgso3w
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsgVQg12yn
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPiPsOd8SZ
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR52ZrCTkz
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJFFYUQqB9
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yzZfphq5y
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxl9vilABI
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7qfU7yoff
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtUOkq4FMY
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8SSueq04b
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekpBe0rK4q
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPAyUqnGIO
Juniper 1: “Who?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02x7hqgYuh
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrgR5mpxCV
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYboTKPXd2I
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnS5ogjc70
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaFWEpPfMe
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TdjduulZC
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d50FBlOjq
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCvIFpeNtG
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS94ZitBYR
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThNWkMWjbx
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgErzAlToPa
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGTQQRn5cT
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfgY1rORN3
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiFozEKiiA
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTcTzwKu42
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCMumrecFo
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOmVo9Y9og
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUNoraUnsN
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa9su0rcIl
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFbToSFWLN
Juniper 2: “Right.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcTHSXD9JS
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbOOda7hSB
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3QophA0hU
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPXnmnyak3
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhntL6BgF3
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1YEK9aCEl
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENbcb8o9hj
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs5xjdD9my
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeYI2PPWNF
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIMoDy4wIw
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQurmAX9w1
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RiGuLHrNU
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jbUZTnitP
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhdI2q3t9h
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj87HgedVb6
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij3294Tw6G
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlayQpUPBW
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ESR7Evbih
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogI1d9nbdc
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaIXuSlwqL
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHaXlnwggR
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC78TftlI0
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLnagNQLjP
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJSx9ACorL
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrgJH9jEFT
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWeK2FEJFx
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2jWEIMLmS
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c1p7cWRtJ
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3z54rmJIn
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8C5N9XsTo
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCMrQrUV1l
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHzKuNRbuc
Dos: “Great!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykQoca6fAG
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4pc4WKj6d
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vkx3i24EG
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MTOB1lSBS
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1q7khoTGk
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtYZCss37Y
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4fpa7Bfes
Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwatNNnpMf
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCanAacIEl
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0ytMPCfDT
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLGLIrJR4N
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.

Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCi7VzZt1k
The Junes: “Later.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GtLBfXT9t
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiUulxbjQE
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PVSfUq7KE
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOanht65kkK
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR4brWc0dK
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Sq7A2QBF
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzUmltDflQ
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90cNgJXFGP
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrBQCgAxQg
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk0LvLTn5t
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwc9bxLuqN
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwuG8zUpln
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtq77IuhFF
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChiI9Leatt
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jphTtOGIM
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcIVwnoxyR
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUedST8kC21
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR2JoKqqJC
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjq2cdToTs
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm7W2qOmgH
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcekpf2N0ZF
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ec22szCxg
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd3UMj99Ca
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ28gWVdtK
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDShBSLybe
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo093R3TKh5
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zqmO6zgoI
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCAAKJy6HZ
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrxXLELzp5
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QdBVsJjaU
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9MHWxudp5
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdQNWHve4P
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsDmpbkpEp
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTwi3mJgQ4
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oMYRnomIv
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwNTidLo2V
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9xZsDJl21
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakNpaGn7jF
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBohkia78B
Unos: “Untie me!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH1Ppp9Auv
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhdzESNAW7
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NcqIdPFwN
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAg9eVfzJN
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nMhrPymGa
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wm0Qpg7Qx
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv7FfmG0oM
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6IKG0sOb1
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8eW0hnWjB
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZTn03FpnI
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCUTbODz4g
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvSGsCviiQ
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq745V9Ug86
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLlONyL2PK
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDx1gVZgyQ
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcY3JI6E21
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtYECUJxLV
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5rHpPNdi0
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQCDxc8BZz
Unos: “… Never.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiiTvwAyju
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9X6obLL36
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvOEqVIwkq
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVjQEt6Spn
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9DTu049UH
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM0kbc3kwR
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodm4qWF0pP
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqAnpoircd
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuos80uw1Kp
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyySBK3gpv
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZx2qLQpYx
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgglUoiNGF5
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?
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKNGvXBVGP
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mZaDoDUvb
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZgNiWaKLX
Dos: “Same.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tvjaSIK0P
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdBWW8JAgh
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc23r99tMw
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9XhwVfF2D
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fAmGGng9a
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuUlSCKcax
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelhZPIHUHC
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2At5URfhJR
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBndXH66jV
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhkRAUHvgt
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm33MoTMthR
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuOc6v4vDY
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecpkTvf5oB
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVNHDu7njx
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZLNLOFqrI
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGjYw0yjry
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7eiqwRtg7
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCvNsHlO5g
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7BckL6oJR
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnCessRQXh
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV8fljwNlc
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqs5WMkqpf
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eSkKEbv0e
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXCETTOqnA
“Yeah!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpf15mFy7n
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMwMw562vf
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJqd2ZdKPE
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9EYBLuo5A
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzb6lTx4o7
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc6cOYrHAM
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yZP5xne1e
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuJdSmkh0b
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRR0jcLKRj
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BekJZqnVM
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhh8IzDhrv
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRtilM7nVZ
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWujODx3uiz
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qAjUXmpd1
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAs3Ktfzf1
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXiKYWiUsG
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnsyd3h5Hd
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH70vMZnfZf
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLVuu9etTG
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm9zaC0xJw
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IZG9DcdyS
Juniper 2: “What?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwjwuYqJTs
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlzCuyuPXC
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQQfwNEcsx
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?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqsqKfrMUT
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwpLgx0sE0
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqwB4ZHOvb
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Xp60gDqt
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoS0J6lpCC
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcmxqakaxT
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMw5Mfn7Ey
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR40ZFiFCCr
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznLyf51tW1
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnrJepMFM1
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbTw5c3bed
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWaeYaMn1K
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SvTctdHlY
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThhSa1PiyJ
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9u2Fffzv5
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISyOks94QB
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueoali9TTh
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQyWFFgSHQ
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw77WxCfdJ
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlswz4lGvaf
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVpr4YfYYL
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40qxfcZPpI
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFMm2jX7pV
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZyugcHVy4
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwmbYfhCuh
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfadUAighw
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefK0B20p2s
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwoLT2BYVD
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPsj6LZPCY
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uxXSrfp0Y
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfzrl47gLI
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRKNcWLCIn
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9FWrc61Tg
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgdFTSZJMk
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?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKt1douyFC
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeTdXcCiqU
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8zRauCqrF
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1FhS2zvbs
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwwNPlM08o
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3oKsR2qcf
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPz71m9L6S
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhidJWqewAE
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPwTt4HsrW
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb6UEvMSEj
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdYeZDZU2o
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG5qIIMT4V
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUsr9NURev
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3XWVgwsbI
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSE8waoKRC
Juniper 2: “No way…”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9RAj4tiJW
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?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn3C6Hg3RM
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB1dpuW0h2
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NHywUYmpq
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt90iSuLLpd
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXg3zwuIXk
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PxztzJFil
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUamZHYect
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGcCBNCC1r
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58cpjBJOSG
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHURdjwfe5
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn6JRnbHjR
Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A3ALX5FGm
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAk4T5weDO
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYekI1Khyj
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72yMlZXSRw
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZFJmmKevm
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bhym7gPHY
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03VTpFpx0O
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.

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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy425AE4Cx
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxwkrIhaxS
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ9av7KMe4
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNdmVx1EFl
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaXsMR0b3S
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XsfxICi6R
Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZof78jJCF
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7Vm091iLW
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ43dnW446d
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrArVvAtDLK
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqOUYQJMj4
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5m0tqXhrW
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEHTV4aF9m
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwLImIHX15
She says as she pats his head.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCaXy1FyJS
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBelvJNzdUP
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T0jGy3EWK
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7YAbc0zbu
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXWxFjwULl
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsaVw02OiT
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qh3ojdhPd
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDS7dM1yH8
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhMnfIF2hO
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHQWkNFbyL
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM7NIRaspv
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejrMmSnuV8
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS1RGdltzd
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNJw7jh2cp
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswxI562uAR
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKQMzdNX6g
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjoMdp0Oa1
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwLBw4KeAa
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!?
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVkUhhX5bx
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurqDRYNueq
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YBByejEad
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfPGwYjiRB
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5h5xcJN2n
She had no friends here.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMYJ1OrRkE
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PjvYpVgtS
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69pPToq4XA
She was… alone.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBioXRodCg
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhtFpiVd9o
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5y5rOJ5Bh
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJaKQ56HpJ
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0Lu6fef24
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpvKXYFuf9
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7uqgie3bB
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBngKuAsK7
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bN4JVBmA8
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtok6CPOmLO
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.”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOwH6Gm1C3
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbi9qMzMgE
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6LjRFflVz
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq2v3wmScR
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3ZWHZcsFW
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHIboNFy3U
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNW5jfZy8S
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBXh00Lb7c
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJblGHDjv9V
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpDJjrugtZ
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPKaj5x69Q
- 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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsh7Qw7iK9
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
