1886 Palethorn casts a spell that raises the dead, including Daniel once again. Dan teams up with the Professor and Kiya to stop him. However, Kiya is killed by Jack the Ripper. Daniel travels back in time using the Professor’s Time Machine to change this course of events. He saves Kiya and merges with his past self, creating the Super Armour. Eventually, Palethorn is defeated. (MediEvil 2)

What happens next is disputed:

  • In the OUTRO ending, Daniel and Kiya return to their eternal slumber together in the Museum.
  • In the CHALLIS ending, Daniel and Kiya travel back in time and wound up in Zarok's Lair, but 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.[4]
  • In MediEvil: Fate's Arrow, it is shown that Dan and Kiya use the time machine to travel through time. However, the time machine malfunctions and separates them. Dan ends up in 1286, one day before the Battle of Gallowmere while Kiya is transported back to her own lifetime.
