Eventually, Palethorn is defeated. What happens next is disputed: One outcome sees Daniel and Kiya return to their eternal slumber together in the Museum. Another sees Daniel and Kiya travel back in time, where they end up in Zarok's Lair. However, instead of encountering Zarok, they are met with a Palethorn of another timeline, who used the power of Zarok's spell book to travel back in time and replaced Zarok with himself. Another chain of events shows that Dan and Kiya use the time machine to travel through time. However, the time machine malfunctions and separates them.

Kiya's age is given as 19 on MediEvil 2's official website. Subtracting her age from the year of the Pharaoh's death gives us her approximate date of birth.
