They take him to an abandoned warehouse that was turned into a Corvus base, and place the child inside a bathroom. Corvus also capture Wendy and place her in the same room, Danny reunites with his mother.

Outside on the docks, Danny is attacked by Jin who is then impaled and killed by Insect-Woman who suggests to Danny that he take a nearby boat and leave before she decides not to spare him. Danny does so.

### Later Life

A patrol boat found a sleeping Danny in the middle of the ocean, they immediately took him in and cared for him as he was still in a traumatised state from all the things he had witnessed.

Danny developed a deep-seated resentment for his mother, as he believed that she chose living as Insect-Woman over her own son. Danny also became obsessed with Corvus, wanting to find out what they were all about. Going into his teens, Danny struggled with money and decided to become a pizza delivery man, this lead him to meeting Alice Karven, a woman who would become his only friend, as she helped him cope with his woes. As he became older, Danny decided to train to become a spy for a company unknown, which only fuelled the necessary skills for him to go after Corvus.

### *Yajukon*

After succeeding in landing a profession as a spy, Danny caught wind of an operation orchestrated by a Corvus squad located in the Arctic in which they would travel to an island off the coast of Japan known as Yajukon Island. Danny managed to hitch a ride on one of Corvus' choppers to Yajukon Island, where he followed the squad who were patrolling the area. Danny managed to sneak up behind one of the Corvus soldiers before snapping their neck and taking their rifle.

Walking deeper into the woodlands of Yajukon Island, Danny stumbles across an abandoned cabin and enters, he then begins hearing strange thumping noises from around the area. While inside the cabin, he briefly encounters the Yajukon who curiously watches him from the window before disappearing. Arriving at a bridge, Danny attempts to cross it but as he walks across the bridge begins to collapse under him, he manages to jump to a broken ledge close to the opposite side, he is then shot in the leg by a Corvus squad who show up on the other side.

Attempting to pull himself up, Danny manages to use his own weapon to shoot one of the Corvus soldiers in the head. Danny makes his way into a second cabin but immediately leaves after stumbling upon a dead body. Danny discovers a bigger abandoned building and enters, he finds a hidden door on the ground.

Entering into the secret door, Danny ends up finding a hidden laboratory and speaks to his recorder in order to document what he has come across. Danny ventures deeper into the lower levels where he discovers the lab of Dr. Kobayashi Idagawa and ends up finding the scientist's remains.

On the ground, Danny finds a specimen sheet which details the Yajukon's former identity, Akane Hitarashi which greatly disturbs him due to her just being a kid. The Yajukon then appears behind the glass window of the room, Danny tries to calm the beast down and shows her what she used to look like. This confuses the Yajukon, the Corvus squad commander then enters the area after hunting the one responsible for sneaking into their mission. Danny is confronted by the squad commander, who holds him at gunpoint.

Danny throws his rifle at the commander's face which knocks him down, Danny attempts to run but his leg is kicked by the commander causing him to fall over. The commander pins Danny down and threatens to beat him to death, the Yajukon then lands near them and viciously mauls the commander to death.

Using this as a chance to escape, Danny exits the lab but the Yajukon notices and gives chase. Danny realises that he cannot go any further due to the collapsed bridge, the Yajukon confronts him at the ledge. Danny then encourages the Yajukon to kill him, causing the female beast to leap at him. The two fall down the ledge, with the Yajukon clinging to the lower section of the collapsed bridge, Danny is helped up by a blue hand that sets him down safely away from the ledge. A chopper from the unknown company that Danny works for then flies overhead.

### *Yajukon: Lesser of Two Evils*

After his girlfriend Mary Craige is captured by Corvus for snooping around, Danny tracks down Corvus' main base and infiltrates the area to get her back. Danny manages to confront Corvus himself and holds him at gunpoint, however he is outnumbered and surrenders himself. Corvus then reveals that they transformed his girlfriend Mary into a mutated superweapon called the Brawler, greatly angering Danny.

Using his anger, Danny fights off the Corvus soldiers holding him and steals one of their pistols to shoot one of them in the head. As this is happening, the captured Yajukon breaks free as Danny holds Corvus at gunpoint again but realises the gun is empty. Corvus smacks the pistol out of Danny's hand and begins to choke him to death, Danny begins to struggle for air as he desperately reaches for the discarded pistol. He manages to grab it and smack Corvus upside the head with it, the Yajukon then speeds towards Danny and knocks him out of the way before escaping.

The Brawler then wakes up as Danny looks on, he escapes the facility as well. Danny hitches a ride on an ongoing train and realises that the Yajukon and Brawler are fighting each other on the same train. The Brawler notices Danny after injuring the Yajukon, and follows him to the roof of the train.

A Corvus helicopter then confronts Danny on the roof of the train, the Brawler appears behind him as the Corvus chopper mocks him. Danny stays silent as there is nowhere he can go, the Yajukon then leaps up into the air and stabs the Brawler through the throat with a spear. After the Brawler collapses, Danny and Yajukon look at one another as the Corvus chopper retreats. Danny thanks the Yajukon and expresses his condolences to her father who was killed by Corvus earlier on.

The Yajukon leaps off of the train and Danny looks down at what used to be his girlfriend, Danny has an inner monologue about how his story will continue from here, and that the only thing left for him is to find his mother and make things right. Danny ends his thoughts with the fact that it will all end with his mother's demise.

### *Insect-Woman: Forever Hunted*

Still on the train, Danny is still travelling through a snowy forest due to winter and reminisces about everything that has lead up to this point. Danny finds some clothing complete with a gas mask, and decides to wear it out into the cold, he also finds some advanced weaponry that he also equips.

After arriving at an abandoned construction site, Danny spots Insect-Woman clinging to the top section of a crane, Danny throws a sticky bomb which latches a few meters below Insect-Woman's position. An explosion causes Insect-Woman to leap off of the crane and onto the ground, Danny then attempts to use a pistol to shoot Insect-Woman but it bounces off of her durable skin plating. Danny tries to egg Insect-Woman on into showing herself. Insect-Woman does so and confronts Danny, who then throws a gas bomb onto the ground which instantly spews out a massive cloud which succeeds in taking her out. The gas also causes Insect-Woman to revert back into Wendy, and she is taken by Danny to an ice cave.

Inside the ice cave Danny finds a small fenced off corner where he places Wendy in after clothing her, she wakes up and tries to reconcile with Danny who acts cold towards her and also holds her at gunpoint. Hurt, Wendy pleads with Danny and suggests that he get help but Danny continues to dismiss her words. An explosion then occurs at the cave's entrance, alerting Danny and Wendy. A cyborg walks through the smoke and smacks Danny aside, it then aims a cannon at Wendy.

The cyborg reveals itself as the resurrected form of Jack Torrance, her husband. The cyborg is then knocked over by Danny using a barrel which confuses Wendy as she believed he wanted her dead, Danny confirms that he will have the satisfaction of killing her. Wendy tells him that he has lost himself, and caresses his gas mask as she argues that she didn't ask to become a monster.

Danny grabs her hand and offers to put her out of her misery, the cyborg then gets back up and knocks both mother and son aside, Wendy then flees into a small office inside the cave and begins to force her own transformation. She succeeds and transforms, Jack activates his cannon again and destroys the office door in order to get in. Danny flees the cave as Insect-Woman and the cyborg blast their way out of the underground cave, landing in the snow. Danny reaches a roof of an abandoned building and watches, but he is confronted by his undead father.

Jack knocks Danny down and greatly injures his son by stomping down on his leg, mentioning how he can now attack him as he is no longer a ghost. Jack reels back his fist to finish Danny off, but Insect-Woman impales the cyborg through the chest plating before impaling the head, destroying Jack's brain and killing him once and for all. Insect-Woman looks at Danny, who threatens that even if she leaves he will find her. Insect-Woman fires back by telling him that he is just a human, and that he is all talk.

Insect-Woman flies away as Danny calls her toxic to his mother's mind, with his injured leg he begins to traverse the snowy wasteland as he chooses to keep on fighting.

### *Hell's Child*

Managing to surviving the fight with his parents, a severely malnourished Danny wanders a desert with his injured leg. He comes across a small town littered with corpses and heads inside a nearby building for shelter, there he notices an orange glow. The glow is originating from a floating, blazing sphere which begins communicating with a shocked Danny. The sphere introduces itself as the Sikring of Fire, forged in the depths of Lucifero. The Sikring addresses Danny by name and claims it can feel his anguish.

As Danny approaches the Sikring, questioning how it knows his name but the Sikring answers by offering its help and that Danny needs it as an outlet. At first Danny is argumentative, claiming he doesn't need anyone, the Sikring then transfers itself into Danny after he had turned his back to it. This fills Danny with raw Luciferian energy that causes him to catch fire as energy emitted from his glowing orange eyes. This creates a massive shockwave that covers the small, deserted town. Returning to his previous hometown, Danny comes across a woman and her son being harassed by two members of the Downpour Crime Syndicate.

After threatening to use a gun on the mother, one of the criminals is suddenly engulfed in flames and his charred corpse falls to the ground. Danny, in a new demonic form stands behind where the man previously did, and instantly shoots the petrified second criminal with a double-barrelled shotgun. Danny suggests the mother leave with her child. She does so, thanking her saviour. Danny compliments the side effects of the Sikring's power and reverts back to normal before wandering through the neighbourhood.

He notices a familiar house and knocks on it, he is greeted by Kevin Faing's wife Amelia, she invites him in to talk. Danny covers up recent events by simply telling her that his mother left, to which Amelia shows sympathy towards. Danny inquires about Amelia's current situation, she comments on how her husband never returned and that his son misses him. Danny reassures her that if she ever needs anything, she can come to him. On the television, Danny notices a broadcast detailing numerous "hell gates" appearing around the local area. This worries Amelia, Danny decides to leave and tells Amelia to find safety. Danny runs outside and to the sheriff's office in order to suggest evacuation of the area.

Instead, Danny discovers the mutilated body of the sheriff before he is dragged upwards onto the roof by a big Luciferian named Faris who was instructed by his superior Isati to find and take back the Sikring of Fire. Danny refuses to give back his power and gets into a scuffle with Faris.

Faris manages to get the upper hand due to Danny's fire powers not affecting him, so Danny grasps Faris' head and drives an overwhelming power through his mind. This causes Faris great pain and ultimately kills him. This also drains Danny's energy and makes him revert. As he wanders through the neighbourhood some more, Danny finally tells the Sikring to tell him the situation. The Sikring tells Danny that it chose him as a means of getting back at its creators for "personal reasons", as they thought they could control the Sikring. The Sikring also reveals to Danny that when he transforms, a piece of Danny's mind is taken over by its power.

A nearby town falls under siege by the forces of Lucifero that have entered through one of the many gateways, and the military are struggling to keep the Luciferians at bay. Danny arrives and transforms, entering the battle with a chainsaw he enhances with the Sikring's power. Danny slices through various Luciferians with the chainsaw,

Afterwards, Danny finds a discarded minigun and uses it to finish off the rest of the attacking Luciferians. Entering into the city, Danny decides to confront the army's general Isati who is atop a helipad. Danny speeds up the side of the building leaving a trail of fire, he then stands before his nemesis.

Danny attacks with the chainsaw the Sikring had stored within its flames, but Isati easily stops the assault with his own power and demands the Sikring to be returned. Danny refuses and manages to release himself from Isati's grasp, knocking the demon away. Attempting to attack with his fire energy, Danny is challenged by Isati's green energy streams which causes a beam lock. They both double their power, resulting in an explosion that knocks Danny to the ground, Isati states that he is now going to finish Danny off.

As Isati approaches the weakened Danny, he fires another stream of green energy which hits Danny and causes him great pain. Struggling to crawl towards the discarded chainsaw, Danny manages to pull through and retrieve it, Danny manages to then leap into the air with the chainsaw ready.

The chainsaw plunges into Isati's forehead but it appears to have no effect, as Isati mocks Danny almost immediately after. Danny lets go of the chainsaw and drops to the ground, he then jumps back up and grasps Isati by his giant face. Danny begins charging his energy up again, expelling his energy directly into Isati's head. This causes Isati to explode in a green explosion, with his enemy vanquished Danny leaves the roof and walks over to a bench where he sits and observes the sunset. Danny and the Sikring have one final chat in which the Sikring asks Danny if he wants it to leave. Danny answers that the power is too great to abandon, and that he still has unfinished business.

### *Hell's Child: Armageddon*

After aiding Hydro-Girl and the others in defeating Corvus, Danny remained in Downpour's ruins and wandered in search of his friend Alice. The Sikring from within questioned Danny's choice, as he refuses to believe that Alice is mostly under the control of Luciferian essence. Danny is confronted by a squadron of marines from the Path O’ Light division, and is ordered to come with them.

Danny refuses which leads to the squad attempting to physically move him which results in Danny transforming into his Luciferian form and warning them not to bother him. Danny comes across a collapsed building where he and the Sikring agree to stop for the night, and absorb energy from the fire inside.

As Danny sleeps he begins to suffer a nightmare of himself in a torn apart city with lava leaking through the floor, he is then ambushed by Luciferians from every corner. Unable to activate his powers, Danny panics as they leap at him. They all then disappear, Danny uncovers his face and is met by his mother Wendy smiling at him. Wendy mentions his troubles with Alice, with Danny stating that he cannot bring himself to fight her.

Wendy tells Danny that it is not Alice anymore and that her condition is worsening, telling her son he must be strong and loyal to the powers he has been given. This causes Danny to tear up as he realises his mother is right, he tells his mom he misses her before they embrace. Danny wakes up and continues traversing the ruins he comes across a familiar building, Alice's apartment complex. Upon entering, Danny makes his way to Alice's apartment and reminisces about how he first met her as a pizza delivery man.

Looking around Danny finds Alice's diary on the ground, knowing it's wrong to look at Danny argues that he simply has to. Upon reading Danny is shocked to see that Alice wrote about hearing voices and wanting to inflict pain on herself and other people. As the Sikring explains that Alice was simply "chosen", Danny sits down and berates himself for not reaching out when it counted.

Suddenly the apartment door is blown off the hinges and Danny is attacked by a big demon-like entity calling itself Ignaltum, general of the Luciferian armies. Danny quickly transforms and battles Ignaltum but struggles with the size of his opponent and the incredibly strong armour protecting him. Ignaltum throws Danny through the window where he lands on the ground below, Ignaltum then subdues Danny and painfully extracts the Sikring of Fire from the human's body. Ignaltum drops the severely weakened Danny to the ground and walks off, delivering the Sikring to Alice who has now become a monstrous Queen of Lucifero.

Danny acquires a car and makes his way to the site where Alice is opening up a portal to Lucifero so its residents can take over Downpour's ruins, he attempts to reason with Alice but Ignaltum steps in. Danny drives the car straight into Ignaltum and they both speed through the portal into Lucifero with Danny crashing the car into a wall.

Transforming once more Danny takes the fight to Ignaltum but still struggles to defeat the Luciferian giant who just throws him around like a ragdoll, Danny mentions how he cannot defeat Ignaltum but the Sikring, speaking from all around him, tells him that he can as he is "home". Danny then begins absorbing raw Luciferian energy from the lava-filled cracks in the walls and his hands become imbued with raging flames. An angry Ignaltum orders Danny to give his powers back to Lucifero, with Danny challenging him.

A furious Ignaltum then rushed Danny who delivered one flame-filled punch to Ignaltum's stomach which caused him to combust, leaving the former behemoth's skull behind. Danny exited the portal back to Downpour and confronted Alice who sends her minions after him, Danny expels a huge amount of energy to dispose of the Luciferians and then proceeds to channel the rest into closing the portal. Angered, Alice attempted to stop Danny by impaling him with her pincers and pulling him towards her.

The portal was eventually closed much to Alice's outrage, Danny tells her that she doesn't want to be what she has changed into. Danny explains that he now understands that she has always wanted to be free as he gently places his hands on either side of her face. Danny bids her farewell before ripping her head from her body and dropping to the ground. Danny observes her head before turning around and witnessing her body catching fire and burning away.

Danny's power also begins to fade away without the Sikring, he notices the gaping hole in his chest and collapses. He is eventually found and secured by another Path O’ Light division that take him away in a helicopter.

### *Lacius: Return of Osseus*

Danny was taken to Howlite Hospital where he was treated for his wounds, he eventually regains consciousness and is updated on his condition by the staff. Danny suddenly takes off running out of the room as the doctors call out to him, he runs into the bathroom and throws up blood into the sink as he claims he doesn't feel right. His eyes have changed to bloodshot.

Danny then notices something outside the window, he walks over to it and looks up into the sky. As purple flashes appear behind the dark clouds, Danny questions what's going on.

### *End of the Line*

In the time since defeating Alice and being taken to Howlite Hospital, Danny has been hiding out in the boiler room of the building as his condition worsens, he is now pail and is slowly wasting away. He observes his now skeletal hand as he experiences constant pain.

Danny finds a bin and begins feeling around until he finds a pair of black gloves that he decides to wear to cover up his rotted hands, he then continues to vomit blood. Remaining in the boiler room, Danny's nose has flattened and his skin has become extremely pale as he feels his insides rotting away but decides to get up anyhow. He realises that something strange is going on outside, and if he's going to be close to death he might as well go out fighting.

After changing clothing from his blood-stained shirt, he leaves the hospital and begins walking along a road. As he looks up at the purple-tinted sky David notices a large beam of light shooting up through the clouds, he decides to follow it. Danny soon joins with others as they meet up with Hydro-Girl at the beacon in Downpour City's ruins.

Hydro-Girl notices Danny and becomes concerned at his appearance as does Jane, but Danny reassures her that his time is up and that he'd rather die fighting by her side one last time like his mother would have wanted.

As Hydro-Girl goes off to fight Motesius, Danny remains on Earth with the others to fend off Motesius' servants. Danny is pounced by one of them and manages to channel a small amount of power to set the creature aflame. This causes Danny great pain and he describes it as his lungs collapsing.

Motesius' servants then combine into a giant shadow creature that begins attacking with purple beams, the monster overpowers anyone who attempts to take it on leaving Danny as the last one standing.

As Lacius struggles to keep the shadow creature at bay Danny realises it is his time now, he runs towards the creature and begins channelling energy. He digs into the creature's abdomen and continues channelling his energy within its body but before an explosion envelops both him and the creature, Danny mentions how he'll meet his mother at the pearly gates.

Hydro-Girl sets up a lone gravestone in a private field and visits it, mentioning how thankful she is for his sacrifice and that he can finally rest now.

## Personality

As a child Danny was very smart and managed to help his mother in situations where he was able, but couldn't provide much when she became the Insect-Woman. Danny is also very precise, as he managed to free his mother from rope with a firearm.

Into adulthood, Danny became a very driven and calculated agent who didn't let anything get in the way of him completing his mission. This driven and often cold demeanour was a result of his rough childhood, and he had a great deal of blame for his mother. Danny can also be very stubborn as he refused to believe that Alice was truly a monster and wandered the Downpour ruins for a while searching for her.

During his final days, Danny showed considerable bravery and determination despite his body failing on him.
