Following this, Desmond then woke up from his coma, with Shaun, Rebecca, and his father standing beside him as he sat up from the Animus' seat. After Desmond took in his surroundings, he told the others that he knew what they needed to do next. However, on doing so, the Temple activated the Bleeding Effect within Desmond, which showed him that a key was required to unlock its inner chambers.

Due to the event causing Desmond's mind to enter a brief fugue state, he was placed back into the Animus by the Assassin team. Desmond then began to search through his memories in order to find the artifact. Desmond occasionally left the Animus to explore the chambers of the Temple, where he often came across Juno as he had done in the Colosseum Vault. She explained to him the details of the six methods that the First Civilization had tried to use in order to save the world from the previous apocalypse, as well as continuing to urge him towards finding the key.

However, Desmond's experiences in the Animus were interrupted when it was revealed that the Temple's power sources were running low, and that they needed to be replaced. Thanks to Shaun tracking some down, the first power source was found in Manhattan. Desmond journeyed there to carry out his first proper mission as an Assassin, in which he climbed a skyscraper and parachuted from a crane to another building, where the power source was located.

Whilst there, he encountered the Templar operative Daniel Cross , whom he disarmed and then knocked out in order to escape. After further exploring the Temple, Desmond came to realize that whatever was waiting for the Assassins beyond the door would ultimately benefit Juno in some way, though as Desmond was unsure how it would do so, he warned the others to "play it safe". Desmond also revealed to the others that when Juno appeared to him in the Colosseum Vault, he was shown a vision that showed that should Lucy have been kept alive, she would have taken the Apple of Eden to Abstergo for utilization in the Eye-Abstergo satellite, though it would ultimately fail.

Because of this, Desmond came to terms with the fact that he was not forced to kill Lucy, but he instead did it to stop the Templars from gaining the upper hand. After arriving at the stadium and sneaking across through the rafters, Desmond arrived at the room the woman was staying in, only to find Daniel Cross once more. After Daniel shot the woman and her husband, he attempted to flee with the power source. However, Desmond managed to catch up to him, eventually besting him in hand-to-hand combat and incapacitating him once more.

With the power source in hand, Desmond fled from the Abstergo agents pursuing him, and escaped the stadium by boarding a train. Soon after the team's return to the Temple, Shaun located a third power source in a museum in Cairo , Egypt. However, as the team's deadline of 21 December was rapidly approaching, and Desmond had yet to locate the key to the Temple door, William went to retrieve the artifact in Desmond's stead.

Vidic stated that in order to let his father free, Desmond would need to hand over the Apple of Eden. Soon after, Desmond traveled to the facility with Shaun and Rebecca. Upon his arrival at the building, Desmond was offered a peaceful trade-off by Vidic over intercom, but refused. Desmond then fought security guards as he made his way to the building's upper floors, eventually arriving at the Animus room he had been held captive in, months before. There, Daniel Cross yet again confronted Desmond, ordering that he hand over the Apple.

Before Daniel could shoot Desmond however, he suffered from the Bleeding Effect, causing him to suddenly speak in Russian. Panicked, Daniel fled and Desmond gave chase.

Eventually, the two ended up in the room for the Templars' Animi Training Program , as Desmond caught up to Cross and assassinated him, and retrieved his gun. Desmond proceeded to ride an elevator up to the fifth floor, where Vidic's office was located, killing any security guards that crossed his path. As Desmond made his way towards the office, Vidic explained his anger over intercom, stating that Daniel was like a son to him, and that Desmond and the Assassins only took what didn't belong to them, such as the Apple of Eden and Lucy Stillman's life.

Eventually, Desmond made his way to Vidic's office, where William was detained. After Vidic told Desmond to give him the Apple, Desmond used it to control the security guards in the room, forcing one to shoot and kill Vidic before then influencing them all to shoot themselves. After freeing his father and hugging him, Desmond took the third power source and left the building, using the Apple to cover them. Once he arrived back at the Temple, he placed the power source in its slot, received the details of the last two solutions the First Civilization attempted, and then re-entered the Animus.

The team traveled there and retrieved it from Connor Davenport's grave, before they returned to the Temple.

Using the key to open the final gate, Desmond, William, Shaun and Rebecca proceeded into the Temple's deepest chambers. Upon arriving in the central room, which contained a large orb set in a pedestal , the Assassins were greeted by Juno, who stated that should Desmond touch the orb, the world would be saved.

However, immediately following this, Minerva appeared, urging Desmond not to touch it. She explained that Juno had previously tried to use the First Civilization's technology to conquer the world rather than save it, and that she was sealed inside the Temple so she would not be able to do so.

While the device would save the world from the impending solar flare, it would also kill Desmond and release Juno, allowing her to continue her quest to rule over Earth. Shocked by Minerva's appearance, Juno told her to show Desmond what would happen if the solar flare was not stopped.

Minerva stated that while the majority of Earth's population would die, there would be a small amount of survivors. Desmond would become a symbol of love and hope for the new world, similar to Jesus Christ , though following his death, his message would eventually be misinterpreted and corrupted by those who followed him, and lead to war, thus repeating the cycle of religious conflict through history. Despite this, Minerva pleaded for Desmond to let the world burn instead of saving it and releasing Juno.

Desmond stated that if Juno was released, there would still be the slim chance that humanity could stop her, while if the world was allowed to be subject to the natural disaster that the solar flares posed, billions would die, and there would be no hope.

Acknowledging Desmond's decision, Minerva stated that the consequences of it were his "to live — and die — with". With his mind set on his choice, Desmond turned to William, Shaun, and Rebecca, and commanded them to get as far away from the Temple as possible.

William pleaded for him to reconsider his decision and find another way instead, but Desmond refused, stating that it was too late to find another option.

With this, William, Shaun, and Rebecca hurried to leave. After the three exited, Desmond walked up to the orb. Juno watched as he touched it with his hand, his body shook violently for several moments and shone a bright gold; though, after a brief time, Desmond fell to the ground, sacrificing his life to protect the planet from the Second Disaster.

Later, she was seen walking away from his body, thanking him for releasing her. Desmond's body was eventually discovered by Abstergo several hours after his death, and an immediate autopsy was performed, with various DNA samples being extracted in the process. Case Fisher , the lead of Abstergo Sample Recovery Unit 3, noted that aside from a severely burned arm and fused bones in the right hand, Desmond's body was in good condition.

Upon completion of the autopsy, Desmond's body was removed, while his bag and personal items were collected for further analysis. Within a year, Desmond's memories were being exploited by Abstergo Entertainment , the multimedia branch of Abstergo Industries, for use in the Sample 17 Project.

Data from Desmond's mobile phone was also recovered by Abstergo Entertainment, and stored on their servers.
