Danny bounds down the stairs and comes to Misty and Colleen's office. When he opens the door, he sees the aftermath of the battle: broken window, disturbed furniture, and Colleen's sword sticking out of the floor. He scrambles to the discarded sword, noticing a note stuck to it. BASEMENT is all that is written on it but Danny immediately knows what it means. He crumples the paper in his hand and leaves.

The basement is wide, with a boiler, boxes, several pipes running along the surfaces, and a seperate storage area. A few scattered lightbulbs hang down, shedding some light in the dark room. Misty and Colleen dangle from the multiple pipes, still unconscious, with police issued handcuffs around their wrists.

Not far away, Davos examines Misty's gun, opening its chamber to see it bullets before snapping it shut and giving it a closer inspection. At the same time, Colleen's eyes slowly open. She examines her surroundings before turning to her partner, "Misty". She wakes up as well and looks around, "So... this is happening."

Davos appraoches them with a smile, "I'm glad you're awake."

"Why are you doing this to us?," Colleen asks.

"This isn't about you. You're only bait."

"For Danny?," Misty mutters.

"Yes. Well done."

"You're the prince he told me about," Colleen exclaims, "Davos."

"I see my reputation proceeds me. Good."

"Danny's done nothing to you," Misty continues.

"He has done plenty."

"Such as?," Colleen asks.

"Your kind simply cannot understand."

"We don't understand because we're not batshit insane," Misty snaps.

Soon, Danny makes his way to the bottom of the stairwell where he enters the basement of the office building. Once again, he is wearing his K'un L'un fighting garments and mask. This time, however, his shirt fully covers his chest, the partial mark of Shaou-Lao obscured. Colleen and Misty raise their heads as he approaches. "Danny," Misty smiles, hopeful. From the shadows, Davos emerges, "Daniel Rand-K'ai. I hope you're in good enough shape to fight. You took quite a beating last time."

"Let them go," Danny commands him, "This is between us."

"That would defeat my purpose."

"So what happens now? I'm supposed to make some sadistic choice? Choose which one lives or dies? Is that your plan?"

"No, actually, I'm going to kill them both after I deal with you. I simply want you to know that I'm taking everything away from you. I want you to die knowing your friends are next. There will be no hope for them. No one to save them."

"You have to bring innocent people into this? Wasn't the Iron Fist enough for you?"

"No. You should also know I've taken something else from you."

"What?"

"Howard Meechum's life. I killed him myself. I've taken your revenge."

"Revenge? I didn't want revenge, Davos. I wanted justice."

"That doesn't sound like a true K'un L'un warrior. Was that your idea?," he looks at Colleen and Misty, "Or theirs?"

"Oh, they had to convince me but you certainly helped."

"How so?"

"Looking at you, I saw firsthand what vengence does to a man. How he can be so full of pride and hate that he abandons everything. How he can give up his past and future. And for what? A brief sense of satisfaction that leaves him empty. You took the Iron Fist, Davos but that hasn't brought you any sense of peace. Look at yourself. You're willing to kill people who have done nothing to you. If you kill me or these women, it won't be any more satisfying. I'm giving you this last chance to walk away because you can't possibly win."

Davos' response is a flying 360 degree kick, which forces him back with the first turn and finally connects with the second. Danny lands on his palms, facing the floor, then twirls into a sweeping kick that takes Davos off his feet. He rolls onto his back and sprints toward the opposite wall, Danny in hot pursuit. Davos runs up the wall vertically before backflipping completely overhead where Danny waits patiently. Once his foe has landed behind him, he delivers a kick to the chest that throws him against a pipe leading from floor to ceiling. Davos grasps the pipe and spins into a pinwheel kick, giving Danny a blow to the jaw in the process. The two dash toward each other and begin to unload a fury of punches with every blow being blocked or avoided. It escalates faster and faster before Danny finally catches Davos in an arm lock, then delivers an elbow across the bridge of his nose. He tries to throw Davos over his back but Davos flips over his shoulder instead, landing on his feet, then performing a reversal as he gives Danny a hip-throw. Danny falls on his back but curls up onto his shoulders, bringing both feet against Davos' chin. He continues the roll, landing on the balls of his feet as Davos staggers back. Once he regains his balance, Davos leaps forward in a flying-knee that knocks Danny into a stack of storage boxes.

Davos strides toward him, "I will admit, it was fun sparring with you, Daniel Rand-K'ai," he balls his fist, summoning the Iron Fist technique as chi energy pours between his fingers, "Goodbye". He takes an upward swing but Danny somersaults out of reach. He then arches his back to avoid another swing and pivots away to avoid a backhand. Danny takes several steps back, positioning himself in front of Colleen and Misty. Davos leaps high into the air, bringing his fist down. Danny, meanwhile, flops onto his back, placing his foot against Davos' stomach as he grabs his arm with both hands. He tumbles back, throwing Davos toward the wall where he hits, utterly destroying it in a burst of energy. He falls into the dark storage room behind the wall amidst chunks of debris. Meanwhile, the pipe holding the women breaks from the impact, the two of them falling to the ground. Danny quickly runs to them but Misty waves him off, "We're fine. Go kick his ass!". Danny nods and doublebacks toward the storage room. Misty pulls a pin from her hair and begins to pick the lock on Colleen's handcuffs.

In the shadows, a hand grabs a chunk of granite from a pile of concrete. Danny enters the dark storage room, the only light coming from the hole in the wall. Davos hurls the rock through the darkness but Danny sees it in time to leap into the air with an arching kick, smashing the chunk of stone into dust. Before he lands, Davos roars with fury and throws himself into the air, tackling Danny at the waist. They both hit the ground and whatever finesse Davos once had, disappears as he seemingly abandons his disciplined martial arts abilities for a more savage assault. He screams angrily and begins to pummel Danny with devistating punches. Danny curls up to avoid serious injury but is quickly forced to throw Davos off him. Davos bounces back onto his feet and steps away, quickly disappearing into the shadows. Danny spits and stands up, carefully following his foe. Soon, he is engulfed in shadows with no visibility. There is only darkness.

Then, a light forms as Davos' fist glows, eventually getting bright enough to fill the storage room with light. Misty and Colleen stand at the hole in the wall, silently witnessing the final battle. Danny takes a defensive stance with one hand forward and one close to his chest. The two pace around one another like caged tigers until finally, he beckons Davos to attack with his outstretched hand. Davos obliges, throwing a wild haymaker, a trail of energy following his fist as he strikes. Danny quietly closes his eyes, his hand still outstretched. As Davos' fist draws near, he flips his palm over and catches the punch. Davos' jaw drops and Danny pulls his shirt open to reveal his bare chest; the partial symbol of Shaou-Lao now visible. "No," Davos whispers as Danny begins to draw the energy back into his body. His eyes open with a slight shimmer of gold as his chest begins to flare up. Davos grasps his wrist tightly in a vain attempt to hold onto the Iron Fist but it quickly fades away, the symbol on his own chest disappearing. Twin wings form on Danny's mark, the power of the dragon fully restored in his body.

"NO!," Davos shouts as he reaches behind his back, pulling Mity's discarded snub-nosed revolver from his sash.

"Danny!," Misty shouts.

Danny says nothing as he clenches his fist, igniting a ball of energy. Davos points the gun at near point-blank range but it is too late. Danny throws the punch and the Steel Serpent is hit with the Iron Fist, his eyes going wild from fear. The energy engulfs him as his silohuette quickly disappears behind a flash of light and when it dies down, there are only shimmering embers left along with Daniel Rand, still in the striking pose. The light dies down and darkness returns. Outside the storage room, Danny rejoins the women who hug him simultaneously. Colleen lets go, allowing him to kiss Misty passionately.
