A cruise spaceship, the ''[[Flying Dutchman II]]'', which was stuck in a [[lateral stasis field]], found Kroton's ship and the human passengers reactivated him. He helped remove it from the stasis loop, but discovered the ship had been trapped for six hundred and twenty-eight years. The mortal passengers all rapidly aged and died, leaving Kroton on his own again, with only the ship's robot pilot for company. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Ship of Fools (comic story)|Ship of Fools]]'')

Kroton left the Doctor after a battle with {{Fallen}} during the Master's pursuit to become the centre of the omniversal spectrum. He reached Pandarost, the planet where the Master had prepared his trap for the Doctor and Izzy. Both were caught in the Church of the Glorious Dead's assault and barely survived, living a hard existence for nearly a month, fending off attacks by cultists and their monstrous Ash Wraith forms.

Kroton finally did battle with [[Sato Katsura]], lasting against him much longer than any other foe due to his enhanced physiology. Before long, however, Sato was sent reeling from the fight when Izzy forced upon him a mnemonic crystal and fed him back all the pain she had suffered at the hands of the Church. She gave the same crystal to Kroton, who used it, though he had rejected it before. It awoke memories from before his Cyber-conversion. He remembered all the happiness and sorrow he had ever felt as a human being. He accepted them and chose joy over misery. He was chosen as the new centre of the Omniversal Spectrum, banishing the Master and restoring the history he had warped, granting Sato his ultimate wish for honourable death as he left for the heavens.
