=== K9 Mark 2 ===
After Mark I sacrificed himself to destroy the Jixen warriors, [[Starkey]] retrieved his [[regeneration unit]], which quickly activated. In a blast of white light, K9 was thus reborn as a much more advanced model, though this K9 Mark Z could not access the memories of his previous self, which had been "scrambled". He stayed at the house of [[Alistair Gryffen]], who ran tests on K9, but did not tell [[the Department]]. K9 tried to kill Starkey, as he was sprayed with Jixen genetic matter and so registered as a Jixen. Starkey convinced him that he was not an enemy and K9 gave him his dog whistle to summon him when needed. ([[TV]]: ''[[Regeneration (TV story)|Regeneration]]'') K9 and the team tracked down the surviving Jixen to [[Dauntless Prison]] and killed it. They also faced a [[Meron]] and freed the alien prisoners. ([[TV]]: ''[[Liberation (TV story)|Liberation]]'') K9 travelled with Starkey when he was on the run from the Department and rescued Gryffen (who was kidnapped by a [[Korven]]). Gryffen later welcomed him and Starkey into his home. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Korven (TV story)|The Korven]]'')

([[TV]]: ''[[Dream-Eaters (TV story)|Dream-Eaters]]'') He met [[Nehetka]] and [[Geb (Curse of Anubis)|Geb]] of the [[Anubian]]s, a race his previous incarnation liberated. He was so obsessed with regaining his lost memories that he didn't notice Gryffen, Starkey and Jorjie's takeover by the Anubians. He soon found out when the Anubians attacked the Department. With Darius' help, he defeated them. ([[TV]]: ''[[Curse of Anubis (TV story)|Curse of Anubis]]'')
