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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ5KfHtMRY
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGciIOQFv1
Unos: “Welcome. It seems I get to defeat the strongest of your group. A perfect testing before besting XJ9.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTUqxiPTdc
Juniper: “Hold it buster! I need some answers first.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeUcPD8P1n
Unos: “Of course, masterpiece.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1ENc76nTq
Juniper: “Why are you calling me that?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxETzCpkcf0
Unos smiles before answering.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ291WhFi0a9
Unos: “Because you, Juniper Lee, aren’t the real you.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dlkfea4ft
Both June’s and Danny’s eyes widen as they recall different things.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzXQBwkfTD
June remembers the time she was cloned, and the idea that she may be the clone makes her shiver.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTKcw7sZAc
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ7e926uou
Juniper: “W-What do you mean?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaFIwKE57N
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMeLwpOXhX
Juniper: “But I remember you capturing me! More than that, I remember my life! I can even eat! Robots don’t eat!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0fKgM6dHK
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ItXhdhJGT
June started to shake uncontrollably while her fist tightened beyond the norm. Before long, she erupted with a battle cry and charged Unos.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyQa8brG6N
Danny: “June, wait!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr3vaZyYV1
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6juOCxboi
Juniper: “He’s lying! You don’t believe him, do you?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bkx5vyS5s
Danny: “Doesn’t matter; we still have to take him down. To do that, we need a plan.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLmbIaSefv
Juniper: “Drop me on the saucer and give me five minutes.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh5aFY3e2G
Danny: “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pa5QsuMdI
Not giving them any time to think, Unos unleashed a barrage of blaster bolts.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2GKpthui8
Danny: “Whoa!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAzmlXAwGj
The ghost boy flew around the room, barely dodging the assault.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AICTGzOj1
Danny: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Ready?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfbnPweGno
Juniper: “Ready.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbub1cnzDPR
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0igxUCWDT
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62uGWdKYPl
But instead of breaking, it sparked with an electric field.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yboPvo9qD
June: “GAAAH!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ac7IJJXVS
Danny: “June!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXoem6aFcU
Danny flew into the fray and removed June from the shock treatment.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu98ljKmBQ
Juniper: “Ugh… that stung.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzLXmw99Uk
Back in the air, he held her in a princess carry and observed the situation. It wasn’t looking good.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpcDJUblmV
Danny: “Okay, maybe we should have brought backup.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwxr8eKEBn
Unos: “Hahaha! Do you see now, Juniper?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzpqRSoUXp
Juniper: “What do you mean?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LxbwrFY9g
Unos: “Why, look at your knuckles.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCGQK9k9Si
She did so and instantly regretted it. Instead of normal bruises, there was torn skin and steel underneath.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIKqzwy3jK
Juniper: “No, no, no, no, this can’t be happening.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeKto0Fvxy
Unos: “It is. To prove my point, behold!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQymPuHmvI5
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvOaNAuCrN
Juniper: “No way… I’m… fake?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iNsdPUoNo
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a7UGp042R
Juniper: “I-”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIEPlRojAg
Danny: “Juniper, listen to me!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPUZJtLZbn
Juniper: “Huh?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRB1oKlghq
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnfVISv7ni
June thought about it and looked at the real her. She was tempted, really tempted. The implications for her and her family are overwhelming.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSngD9YN8l
But joining this guy won’t solve anything. Especially since this is all his fault!
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xNAjSqoB8
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!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5Hzg1iSbo
Unos: “Eeh, I tried.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR3O0GT3mB
And so the dance continued, Danny dodging the blaster fire while looking for a way to beat the mech. Maybe those legs are vulnerable.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KMIGMXNsg
Danny: “Go for the legs!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0apQWcdly
Juniper: “Good idea.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE485n6lIB
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWY81vuCK5
Juniper: “Yeah!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfq2TEwuAq
Unos: “Nice try!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v3m0yVkZK
The legs they just destroyed were replaced quickly after.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYSWZcSJcq
Danny: “You got to be kidding me.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFdTV5Q19k
Turrets appeared under the saucer but were blasted to bits before they could fire.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBx7vQf1hs
Juniper: “Plan C?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv5KD6Ewcp
Danny: “Maybe, hang on.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDrMBJiO5k
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dj7qDQmPu
Danny: “Well, that didn’t work. But you can’t keep that forever.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIckDsvmQQu
He says just as the electrified field lowers. Danny goes to try again but stops when the field comes up again.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJfvlwIuLe
June: “GAAH!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DDqJYAYLq
Danny: “On no!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyDNcNOEr6
Danny goes around and removes June from the shocking field again. Instead of going into the sky again, he laid her on the ground.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTqVBYfBqb
June: “Ugh, again!?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8GzSNVhJ9
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?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkFrqOJ8UA
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCoc8uUTHm
But they were never-ending, and they don’t have infinite stamina.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxskKfx0wRo
Juniper: “What do we do!?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYlG3pkic7
Danny: “If we had some extra help, then maybe I could…”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2vv0AzOe6
That’s when he remembered that there was someone else here.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoaDp88Le4
Danny: “Hold on, June. I have an idea.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7La99j182Q
Juniper: “Hurry!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCEOX0BVXE
Danny flies away and approaches where the other June is.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKu3SnYBas
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?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASurBk70FN
Danny: “If the other June is anything like the June I know, then we’ll be fine.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MzoZbBn9m
Unos: “Tch.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU223uRSIUP
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMufAKezZH
Danny: “I gotcha you.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoghAK8bQTQ
Juniper: “Ugh… what? Where… am I?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuuBZ6uehp
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF6fb8cbap
Danny: “We don’t have a lot of time, June.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMakcYB9MX2
Juniper: “Huh? Who are you?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqEafYMXhp
Danny: “Danny Phantom and I need your help defeating the guy that captured you.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGtjKCCDYL
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73ZJNNaPd6
Danny: “So you’re willing to help?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRODRjn3WC
Juniper: “Of course, where are they? Let me at them!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBZ5NyjlTp
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMWFMpAGvZ
Juniper: “Relax pal, I’m the Te Xuan Ze, I’m used to weird.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yP3Xq2YJs
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHncpJQ94R
The June outside was getting tired and increasingly frustrated.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXqpPLbk4T
Juniper: “Come out and fight like a man! Or… a spider. Or an alien. Whatever you are, just get out of that mech!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69rczdsJ76
Unos: “No thanks, my people aren’t built for such savagery.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50WFuIdlI2
Juniper: “You want savage?! I’ll give you savage!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1b0Gl1b4E
She jumped and kicked out another leg. But before another could come in and replace it, June caught it.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxNc46WSQ4
Unos: “What are you-”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vw2BRz0nI
Using more strength than she usually does, June forced the leg to drop into the lava. June quickly backflipped as the saucer tilted awkwardly.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQp2xpbak9
Juniper: “How do you like that?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPhl5pgVmq
Unos: “Grrr, enough to electrify the whole room.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfoKoqbU4L
Danny: “I don’t think so.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd1U7zQWSm
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?
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaWUWLe03K
She drops from the sky right next to her other self.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyWE56ai2s
Juniper 2: “What the-”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2zHPMWAfO
Juniper 1: “Explain later, fight now!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwDwZBYQIs
Juniper 2: “R-Right, man this is weird.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiUFdRKuET
Danny: “Get back and cover your ears!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI72HPG6mzh
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uhvj2TK36
Fear.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K2Pu4fNTy
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvWC5RZ51B
But such a move has its costs; Danny reverts to his human form.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0chHbd7b2
Danny: “Haha… it’s up to you two now.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRGojc3Hdh
The boy falls from the sky and falls onto the other side of the glass shield, unconscious.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi8QksyK9q
Unos: “N-No!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWUiWzWpE5
Juniper 2: “Now!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FbVRsaosp
The two Junes jump onto the saucer and charge Unos.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhxWAIEqzv
Unos: “S-Stay back!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4ht85GQ9U
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkiwSJmLSF
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucQsjnRPMh
Feeling the full weight of two Te Xuan Ze, it was too much. Unos was blown back into his cockpit seat, unconscious.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJySn1aPWs
Juniper 2: “Man, that felt good.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPcpQfNMCZ
But before they properly celebrate, June noticed that Danny was slowly slipping off the saucer.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEwJ43Svxy
Juniper 2: “Danny!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r8zDn5gjK
She rushed over and slid in just in time to grab his hand.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvAWRM1NXg
Juniper 2: “Gotcha.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF7aMqnRL2
Danny: “Haha, good catch. Thanks, June.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2qleROgLc
Good job indeed, there was just one problem. Juniper was slipping too.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFnlkOqQBS
Juniper 2: “Uh-oh.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwikj1ke9e
Fortunately, there’s another June to grab her leg.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQVjJkfiOX
Juniper 1: “Shouldn’t you think before you leap?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmploY7JTto
Juniper 2: “Shut it and pull us up.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5bvAnsMMA
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnoDQIIS3Q
Juniper 1: “So, what do we do with spider face over there?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEWn7gYTaC
Juniper 2: “He’s not a demon, so we can’t use a banishment spell on him.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAACRBS6kE
Danny: “He’s an alien; maybe Lilo or Jimmy might know what to do.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeL8M8h7GT
Juniper 1: “Who?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqGBJCxZUv
Danny: “Right. Okay, here’s what happened.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aW5kQQW2C
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxltsfenEr
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoa9drfGV6
Juniper 2: “That’s what I said!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBXgqDYtTH
Juniper 1: “And you! I don’t even know what to think about you. What are we going to tell Ah-Ma!?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp8SXvpnBA
Juniper 2: “Nothing.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4ZPvDofUt
Juniper 1: “Huh?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHRrF3VfQ5
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMJubIEh6G
Juniper 1: “That’s not fair!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwzsnApiR2
Juniper 2: “Huh?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2hRVMPEOI
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nKFIvfHEs
Juniper 2: “I… huh… wow… didn’t expect that.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEaJXPoZSV
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZCxFiNVxS
Juniper 2: “But… there can be only one Te Xuan Ze.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSfI6ciZJk
Juniper 1: “Well, I think it’s time for an exception. Don’t worry me; I’ll convince Ah-Ma somehow.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgHdAwFJIy
Juniper 2: “… Thanks.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRdxlBxoPU
Danny: “Wow, you guys got over this quick.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXKCH86rrJ
Juniper 1: “Like I said before, I’m used to weird.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB5QaW31ZJ
Danny: “Haha, I guess you did. Well, if everything is sorted, we should head back.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVqsueM9hs
Juniper 2: “Right.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhBcKzK0oo
June 2 lifted the unconscious Unos and joined the other two as they left through the tube.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fe7r1Jq9l
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngAJyx3kNG
Danny: “Huh, where is everyone?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeQqxL8Koh
Juniper 2: “I guess they’re still dealing with their spiders.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuVIZchHTw
Danny: “We better give them a hand then. Let’s check on Jimmy first.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeJgJCH0dx
They did so and the sight awaiting them was shocking.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJKdJznyly
Dos: “Again! I’ll beat you this time!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7il4hZzP43
Jimmy: “If you say so.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklgn9fwcOy
Juniper 1: “Are they playing-”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoEBn2rn5O
Danny: “Chess? Yes, yes, they are.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8krmuidWuV
Juniper 2: “What’s going on here!?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdISM7XL2E8
Jimmy: “Oh, Danny, June, I’m glad you’re… why are there two of you?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9w4I7m7SM
Dos: “One of them is a robot Tres made. Focus.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGQfWixCJD
Jimmy: “WHAT!?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJngobo6tuI
Danny: “Sort of a long story, we can explain once we get everyone. Are you done?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yx0v3o9y1
Dos: “No, I have only won 12 times to his 20. I must overcome this challenge.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXlmRNtyde
Juniper 2: “While we were fighting for our lives, you were playing chess!?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHch3WlRys
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t5duc1Pg0
Danny: “But Jimmy, you can’t play with him forever.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI9eZweTeZ
Jimmy: “I won’t have to.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowMeHSnv3i
Dos: “W-What? Are you leaving me my nemesis?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgJ0Xx0wUZ
Juniper 1: “Hehe, nemesis. He sounds like one of Dennis’ friends.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvHmvtneW1
Juniper 2: “I know, right?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjz91DNSW8
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmcLcRGqcX
Danny & The Junes: “5 million times!!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaSvcRTHAp
Jimmy: “Surely, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax97H6uFfJ
Dos: “Of course not, nemesis. My life span is more than enough for that low number.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFWwMqGPS5
Danny & The Junes: “LOW!!!!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjvTOiGgIL
Danny: “How long do these guys live?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj3lmy1Cha
Juniper 1: “Are you sure they’re not demons pretending to be aliens?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TMfuZcbWj
Jimmy: “Great, follow me, and I’ll introduce you to him after we’re done with stuff here.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuRphMVTcq
Dos: “Great!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaJoPngaes
The two got up and walked up to the exit tube. On the way, Danny whispered something to Jimmy.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yvA2eKEzP
Danny: “I didn’t know you had a brother.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZHqK0LQMY
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIridKYus04
Danny: “Oh… okay.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvgQPBwGd0
Danny: ‘Why is Sam the only normal friend I have? And she’s a goth!’

Juniper 2: “Oh, that’s so not fair.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gnepk0Yco
The last room they had to go to was the Winter Wonderland. Based on the happy faces, no one had to fight here.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM91zCFm1e
Danny: “Yeah, I got nothing.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CAUvkuSNk
Tres: “Oh, you guys done already?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcp22I9d4A
Tres was helping Timmy and Wanda turn Cosmo into a snowman.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshWolikxqj
Timmy: “Guys, you’re… why are there two Junes?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmVkzOoxvW
The Junes: “Later.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZjoILZTTq
Lilo and Stitch, seeing that it was almost time to go home, ran to the main group.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU2bI2fN4D
Lilo: “Wow, June, you didn’t tell us you had a twin sister.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjELfpjoAH
The two Junes looked at each other, and the same thought crosses their mind.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIm0yqKVcD
The Junes: ‘Sister, huh? I always did want a sister.’
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7lOHXOmje
But knowing it wouldn’t be that simple, they turned back to Lilo and answered.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09uHHfD5uJ
The Junes: “It’s more complicated than that.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2vKbV2ajT
SpongeBob: “Danny! Did you and June beat that mean old Unos?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8J1pGIghn
Danny: “Yep, June got him right here. Jimmy beat Dos with a chess game.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUZEp2vea9
Dos: “I will have my vengeance soon enough.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoH4YsI2Lq
Timmy: “You would win that way. What? Too scared to fight him one-on-one?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJgpgCVZU1
Jimmy: “Oh yeah, what about you? You didn’t even fight Tres.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsiqBdrg89
Timmy: “He was so scared of me, he gave up as soon as he saw me. Right, Tres?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTPUcyY9RJ
Tres: “Yeah, I’m totally scared of this kid with a silly pink hat. My knees are shaking.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaureN0MJg
The group shared a warm laugh. Despite the desperate fight Danny and June had, this helped ease the stress that built up.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTIZlJzEQg
Tres: “So, Unos really lost.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvUbL3BQnh
Dos: “It was only a matter of time. He relied on us too much and always thought he knew best.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKubiXJlFX
Tres: “To be fair, he just wanted to help us out.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx13ON7APhm
Lilo: “What do you mean?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytd7E0Y9AW
Tres: “We didn’t… come from such a prosperous home world.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyfPGx9IfS
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2I9BSCNLi
As he said that, he glared at Tres who embodied that stereotype. The youngest spider responded by rolling his eyes.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa9lMoCocO
Tres: “So to prove our worth, Unos wanted to conquer Earth. Due to XJ9, it’s notorious for being hard to deal with.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWLcXJf7iw
Dos: “He said when we did so, we’d get the respect we deserve and the resources to play to our heart’s content.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmGksBF5PK
Tres: “More resources and better homes for us and the kids.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYqR7RmHtB
Juniper 1: “…Man, now I feel kind of bad.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLnlgioW9H
Juniper 2: “I don’t.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNBt9USTgP
Spongebob: “Doesn’t excuse him for being such a meanie.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVb3mZ2xZO
Lilo: “Yeah, but… I get it, he just wanted a place for his Ohana to belong.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiLTAzjSyv
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qgnFtxh7c
Lilo: “I don’t think he’s as bad as Hamsterviel. Maybe he doesn’t have to.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZHooGlKtZ
Danny: “Maybe, but we shouldn’t make any decision until Ancilla talks to him.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBp5OxotN0
Jimmy: “Good idea. Everyone, get close.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUdLPinsEk
They did so, and Jimmy activated the device to take them back to Ancilla.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAqA1uXIdA
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIb3au5mmP
Ancilla: “Well, the whole family is here.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o0rQ0Jj8t
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDdP9GpYNX
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC99qhAANI
But before that, it was time to watch this spider family drama come to an end.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7NXfDQVt9
Unos: “Untie me!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXbpEt9TdH
Spinner: “No can do. You would try something if we did.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLgb9cdhmU
Widow: “Besides, it’s time for you to listen for once.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3gSCbKvkY
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZXOtnloMk
Unos: “So ungrateful! If you all took your jobs more seriously, we would have conquered Earth and made it big by now.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eMMg6XaCJ
Tres: “I don’t really care about making it big. I was fine before.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2sbWYNzGo
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP8BjQ5dCv
Tres: “Of course you would. No one liked playing that game, you know.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q7fvAZcor
Dos: “Some did; you just didn’t notice.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TQbSqnTfW
Unos: “Enough! You don’t know what’s best for you.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg5BSqZacX
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqhQU024P0
Spinner: “I’m relieved to hear Father wasn’t that far gone.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO5oFmMu5M
Tres: “Don’t worry little buddy, I only care about creating interesting things.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ962MGNgwh8
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem06zXV8Mi
Tres: “Yep, so best give up and move on.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6gFAE3V3P
Unos: “No, we can try again! Together, we can defeat them!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96jP2aRZoR
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99Hk8Qy7pa
Widow: “So instead, we came up with a suitable punishment.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInQDpEM6io
Ancilla: “At least, until you decide to change your mind and come back to us.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q1821KnaG
Unos: “… Never.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U4EAilrfV
Ancilla: “… So be it. Lilo, you know your universe’s galactic foundation?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUsiKsQiXT
Lilo: “Uh, yeah.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4suglqNHN
Ancilla: “We’re handing Unos over to them.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TArpWlDQS
Lilo: “Are you sure? He’s… family.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1gyjvhATj
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Jgi7Xvll
Lilo and Stitch walk up to Unos, who whips his head away from her.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdUwNM1ogD
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZPeDEh63S
Unos: “They’re only saying that because we lost. If we won, they would say it was the right way.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0D4K08LMy
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF15BdpXAuR
Unos: “… It was for the greater good.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ81cI9okI
Lilo: “It’s never okay to hurt your Ohana. Never.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegzld9Zggl
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?
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTna79qi4JI
Unos: “… Would you all seriously forgive me… just like that?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7yXJp8vMN
Tres: “I don’t know about forgiveness. But if you want to work for it, I’m game.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUiz0jXwV4
Dos: “Same.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK0B9ACEj9
Spinner: “As long as you don’t do anything like before, I can try forgiving you.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fmN25RnwP
Widow: “I’ll accept it if Ancilla is the head of the family.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30PfuKMfkH
Ancilla: “Excuse me?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakY5Ezktdd
Lilo: “That’s a good idea!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9opaqRHcFH
Ancilla: “I-I don’t think-”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW85LWdVGHP
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCMDqoCBx8
Ancilla: “I… don’t know what to say. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNtsrl5yIq
Stitch: “Heegata no feebee.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeqZZw2ilg
Lilo: “Like Stitch said, you can do it.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRnYsnDhz1
Ancilla: “Well, if you think so, Lilo. This wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwPgA3sOTS
Lilo: “Hehehe, thanks.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepHk4W5e49
Spongebob and Patrick had to be escorted out due to the amount of tears. They came back when everything settled back down.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7BI4HdGiY
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoJ3Y3vSLp
Ancilla: “Thank you all again; you have helped bring this family back from the brink and saved your worlds.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5juQqu70i
Jimmy: “It was no problem, Ancilla. So, is it all over?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcoaFDlaCz
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU6uFzh88h
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ea6364Sqj
Ancilla: “Haha, you really are a boy genius.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh14OXCa22d
Dos: “Will you take me to see your little brother?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenC1QuHFWN
Tres: “What? You’re leaving us?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaVDwY8oIE
Dos: “Worry not, only for a bit. I must defeat his little brother a few times before I can challenge him again at chess.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk9zXm72Pn
Danny & The Junes: ‘A few!!!?’
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutKwKbXtBl
Jimmy: “Don’t worry, I’ll take you when everyone is safely back home. Ready, guys?!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyDEI40zvc
“Yeah!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZKoHdLodP
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwntKpNgTd
First was Spongebob and Patrick. They were easy since they were already in their world. He just needed to teleport them outside the factory.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYQfLiznym
Spongebob: “See you, guys! It was really fun.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZSirnXiuQ
Patrick: “Yeah, especially all that snow! We gotta do that again.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVir8o2WnN
The next was Timmy and his fairies.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlxuGD1bN5
Jimmy: “Well Turner, it’s been a blast. See you next time.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb27f1Agc3W
Timmy: “Sure, but maybe next time let’s hang out when our worlds aren’t in danger.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsDBGltyWI
Jimmy: “I’ll think of something.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlhcK8KIqg
Lilo and Stitch were up next.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI25Qxr04mw
Lilo: “Bye everyone, it was nice meeting you all.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4x4KLkj92
Stitch: “Yeah, new Achi-Baba!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNdPN0jjY2
Lilo: “I can’t wait to tell Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley about what happened.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4j7SemV3r
Lilo: “Oh, wait! I almost forgot.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMB3HYRn7U
Lilo stopped right before leaving and turned to Juniper 2. She ran up to her and hugged her.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pNC11hplq
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzv4glOzku
Juniper 2 fought back the tears and hugged Lilo back.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1CmF72Iq4
Juniper 2: “Thanks Lilo, I really appreciate it.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qskJN4R2Q
After a moment, they separate, and Lilo runs back to Stitch. One more wave goodbye later, and they were gone.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WifZRt6Ux
Next up, Danny. But instead of leaving after saying goodbye, he asks Jimmy for a favor and offers June a choice.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJXnCa7qoY
Danny: “June, just in case… you know, you’re welcome in my world.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19nW7DFhrl
Juniper 2: “What?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWdlj1ayR9
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKps4u8whs
Juniper 1: “Don’t worry about it; I’m sure Ah-Ma will be happy to have two Te Xuan Ze.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONHiQcubso
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?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTvnSPltjB
Juniper 2: “… Thanks, Danny.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen03HIy3P6
Danny: “Hey, I’m a hero, it’s what we do.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfaUFaFpmt
Danny walks through his portal, leaving Jimmy and the Junes alone.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD45gyMNMH
Juniper 1: “Ready?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVnb6TX5Ds
Juniper 2: “Sure, let’s go home.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTS2CDXyyc
The two entered the portal, and in the next moment, they ar outside in the park. They were finally home.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlSF29Aojo
Juniper 1: “It’s good to be back.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4LEELNPiM
Juniper 2: “I’m surprised the bracelet isn’t going crazy.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZf9aIWzQe
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJJzaUTJu9
Juniper 2: “No problem.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXehgQHkx3t
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW94KJ2JKyA
Ray Ray: “Hahaha, no way! This is so awesome!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRN7vExsFb
Monroe: “Boy, this is the furthest thing from awesome. June, I told you it was a bad idea to enter that place by yourself.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT34IcsW5vQ
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhR3eDV19j
Ray Ray: “But she went on some crazy multiverse adventure. With a talking sponge! Man, I wish I could’ve gone.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx74ThlM7w
Monroe: “Yes, but while they were doing that, Jasmine had to come out of retirement. Again!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV5sKQNzbO
Juniper 1: “I’m sure Lila helped her, and besides, I’m back, and I brought help.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOjpXmB6E4
Monroe: “Oh yes, the robot.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnbXF9Rzd1
Juniper 2: “Hey! I’m not just some robot.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9VOtqnmQP
Monroe: “I… look, I’m sorry. This is going to take some time to get used to. Two Junes…”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aDcF6dpJa
Juniper 1: “So you accept her?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVNiqPonoN
Monroe: “I accept she isn’t some evil clone. Not that she can stay here.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTeb73yI2L
Juniper 1: “What?! Why not?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhqU36o9AS
Monroe: “Because there can only be one Te Xuan Ze.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL89QmE0Wi
Juniper 2: “I knew it.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0NkjBcWZH
Juniper 1: “But we’re both the Te Xuan Ze! And even if she’s not, we can take turns.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4c3AjE5qi
Juniper 2: “Oh yeah! No more bailing on our friends.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKk5oWehYX
Juniper 1: “No more being on the clock 24/7.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y1HRtsLji
Juniper 2: “No more having to choose between knocking out the next demon of the week or something like a school dance.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCOTB0oKi0
Juniper 2: “We can take breaks every now and then.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHUZyNwLw9
Ray Ray: “Sounds like a plan to me.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPKR9K9ZiR
Monroe: “Oh really? And where will you live, June?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyrBEVGnKJ
Juniper 2: “What do you mean?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu6ePNWMFc
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?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgJfdP3EYh
Juniper 1: “S-She can… book a hotel or something.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYgFoW7SZJ
Monroe: “With what money, June? Might as well take the deal that Danny fellow gave you. It’s the better option.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMAdTEAIMN
Juniper 2: “But… what about my friends? What about you and Ray Ray? Mom and Dad. Ah-Ma. I… don’t want to leave.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4mXD1fy6X
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry June, but you can’t stay.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLMhZEVLsS
The Junes: “Ah-Ma!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr402fCYfdV
The old woman appears at the door of their room, looking at the two of them with sorrow.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7hNEa7Yi4
Ah-Ma: “Never expected to get another granddaughter. Even if she is not really human. But I’m glad you’re both alright.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu7iyAaJJI
Juniper 2: “But… why can’t I stay?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJaSTImPbt
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFntm5CvmH
Juniper 1: “How isn’t she the Te Xuan Ze? She’s me!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1MRJPXMKV
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf7HIS1nSr
June 1 feels warm and bright, human.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFZ96xT7f1
June 2 isn’t too different, but her hand is a bit heavier and colder, robot.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMyGMusjMY
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1yMvfc7yD
Juniper 2: “No way…”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Iq8qg0huJ
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?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MO4dLUg9X
Ah-Ma: “It’s too dangerous and could draw unwanted attention. Who knows what might happen if the magical world learns of the… multiverse?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfph1LYUH3
Monroe: “It’s a madhouse out there as it is.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX96JDkrGW
Juniper 1: “So what? She’s should just leave, forever?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSoNL1o1OQ
Ah-Ma: “Not forever; she can still visit. Just not often enough to draw attention.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHWR6uJOjG
Ray Ray: “Well, this sucks.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N6JMGii82
Juniper 2: “You’re telling me.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qJdutnAvj
Juniper 1: “Ah-Ma, that’s not fair! There has to be another way.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ComllROrv
June 1 might not be the one being asked to leave, but she knows how she would feel if she were.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUj7eaGueI
Juniper 2: “It’s okay, I… kind of expected it.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzckH0rHT0p
Ah-Ma: “I’m sorry, June. I really am.”

Juniper 2: “Thanks, Ah-Ma.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1ntd4MGpq
Juniper 1: “So that’s it? Just like that?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZZGZIoNIo
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAHM5d9MZY
Ah-Man: “Of course.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97fxpfjywF
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqju1IcjBtB
They sensed something was wrong but couldn’t put their finger on it.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwhHsBSfds
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dgZ9A0oRu
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe54D8P5tgu
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHWdQlgKuQ
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0PMsiDn0n
Before long, it was time. They regrouped at the portal.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJF2mY7DjD
Juniper 1: “Sorry.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk2Wwcawch
Juniper 2: “Don’t be; I get why I have to go. I’m just glad I could say goodbye to everyone.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNhzErMRjz
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5gu3kf0St
Juniper 2: “Haha, I guess.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HOZzjNeU7
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcLqk64zCE
Ray Ray: “See you later, June. We didn’t know each other long, but I’ll miss yah.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5B6n7wgMO
Juniper 2: “Haha, I’ll miss you too. Don’t give our sister too much trouble, okay?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTUXSNnVda
Ray Ray: “No promises.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB08GyZsT7
Juniper 2: “What about you, Monroe? Anything you want to say?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBHRYPF48X
Monroe: “No. We’ll see you again. You won’t get tears out of me.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uIfG1a2jc
Juniper 2: “Haha, alright.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpoyhR0nB0
She says as she pats his head.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggAzfVlaLo
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XmxOj8PLt
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckGrtr8P07
Juniper 2: “See you later, Ah-Ma.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW3sV2PeqC
Ah-Ma: “Later, kiddo. Remember, you are still welcome back here. This is not goodbye.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4BRaziVAC
Juniper 2: “… I know.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzR52q7nGm
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAQrlRuQCU
Jimmy: “Sorry it didn’t work out.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxKeGBZTbV
Juniper 2: “It’s fine; I expected it.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6oM1sytaF
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPY5vRMMsv
As for June, she entered Danny’s world and met him at the still-wreaked Nasty Burger.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgVW5ABGoK
Juniper 2: “So, where are you going to take me?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hbxh0xMjy
Danny: “New York. Don’t worry, Tucker knows a friend who knows a friend who can arrange a ride for you.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JxThQuaQl
Juniper 2: “That’s… suspicious.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPVe3QuZSy
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCdbCYU0wC
Juniper 2: “You have a lot of friends.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mVlbiGbHk
Danny: “Eeh, being ghost boy has its perks.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqeZm0CV7i
Juniper 2: “Well, okay, if you’re sure.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiVAaZlQcR
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!?
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4ek0YI7vV
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQCVL3bCZX
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimq9vPCoWJ
She wasn’t in her world anymore.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy7oijaPaS
She wasn’t the Te Xuan Ze.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcxtFZrhtt
She had no friends here.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKY5wJgDJ2
Ray Ray and Moroe weren’t here.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1TVX3T4wP
Ah-Ma wasn’t here.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdzcAzCCqQ
She was… alone.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21xlTc33A5
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZqHD2SEQp
This was not fair! She didn’t ask to be like this! Why must she give up everything!?
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8xye8DhD4
A dark thought then slithered into her mind.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvxxCLIK9L
Juniper: ‘Maybe I should have taken her place…’
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNaLq8lIvN
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa1QIJl14N
Juniper: “This is worse than when I learned I couldn’t leave Orchid Bay.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKXQVFNOc4
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHX6kABbPI
Maybe… she could even make new friends. She already did with Danny and the others.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE6YyHLIEB
She closes her eyes and focuses on the bright side.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH69rwVoNm
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYaDdK6vjr
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrwd7xtefl
She looks down at the paper directions Danny gave her and then back up at the building.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIh0bFYdDv
Juniper: “Really, this is the place? Where this Luong Lao Shi is?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenhcsGnUvm
She sighs, places the directions in her pocket, and prepares for her new life in this world.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWgBS9JpjZ
To Be Continued
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oRMv1Mktb
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMR7gzL65l
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuPCsksDlz
Now, you might be wondering why I did what I did with June. Here are my reasons:
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRQz4CJnXx
- Helps increase the chances for crossovers.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBztmK8HBP
- Interesting scenario and allows for interesting and impactful storylines for the future.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c9km94bcJ
- Allows me to expand on a plot thread left hanging by the show. No spoilers.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKwJQmGA5k
- The obvious and popular crossover duo of Jake and Juniper is now easily achieved.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtvbWwk1S5
- Makes this story less straightforward, more memorable, and important in the long run.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbiHqCd5pD
- 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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYA7GnWdTl
I hope those reasons are good enough for those that weren’t fully sold on the idea. Till next time.
