After Zero was…"executed"…the city was once again put under Ashelin's control, but everybody noticed a change in Skyler, not only did his eyes lose a vague hint of light, but he seemed to be more of a loner.

But that changed when the four were in the, once again, remodeled Naughty Ottsel as Kor came in.

"My forces are advancing on the Hive and the outer defenses should fall soon, that way you can enter and take care of those creatures' leader." said Kor as he looked around with a bit of nervousness to his voice.

"Well, at least I still have one family member still alive." said Skyler not turning his back from a photo he was holding.

"What do you mean?" asked Kor raising an eyebrow.

"My father's "father" is right in this room. He's actually not really his father, but at least now I knew why it felt weird killing you…grandfather." said Skyler standing up looking Kor in the face at which Jak, Naruto, and Daxter, who had been drinking, spit out what they had in their mouths at the word "grandfather".

"WHAT?! KOR IS YOUR GRANDPA?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?!" yelled Daxter as his eyes grew wide and the other two's mouths dropped.

"I just figured it out fleabag. I don't even want to know how time-travel works so don't ask! So Kor, you know what that means right?"

"Yes I do. Besides I think my old self is getting too old to fight you four, especially with a grieving hybrid who could easily rip me apart if I say something wrong. I'll go with the Crocadog boy when its time, until then I'm still leader of the Metal Heads. Now if you excuse me, I have to make sure my forces don't let up." said Kor as he left.

"Let me get this straight…Your father is from this time, yet you're 224 years old, but you came from your world to ours and now you're telling us KOR GOES BACK WITH YOUR FATHER AND IS YOUR ALLEDGED GRANDFATHER?!" said Daxter then yelled, "I HATE TIME TRAVEL AND TIME PARADOXES!"

"The only thing my father remembers about this world later are the Precursors, which gave us our powers (excluding the Dark Powers in me, Nefarious did that) and probably why I'm a hybrid. Anyway, forget the whole time paradox. We have to protect him or else I fade away." said Skyler as he exited the bar.

Heading towards the air-field their com-links suddenly go off.

"This is Starscream. I'm coming in too hot! Clear the area!" yelled Starscream as he crashed into a hangar at which the four rushed over and saw him crawl out.

"Steel is leading the Zerg forces! He's-" started Starscream but was stopped as a spike embedded itself above his eye, "I'll kill him fo-"

[Starscream's head blows up, followed by his chest, arms, then legs]

The four whirl around at hearing sinister laughter as Steel approaches Skyler.

"That piece of scrap, put his nose where it didn't belong." said Steel as he gets in Skyler's face.

"You smell familiar…" said Skyler narrowing his eyes as they turned orange.

"You've meet my sister remember?! I believe it was when you where 26...This is payback and revenge for everything you have done for my kind!" said Steel as his features shifted partway into a Zerg creature.

"No wonder why this blasted eye scar has been acting up ever since I awoke in Haven! You've been hiding here and now you're afraid I'll kill you just like I did her!" said Skyler bringing out his wrist-blades.

"Too bad you'll never get the chance…" said Steel darkly as he whirled around and sent a acidic green glob at Skyler sending him into the Port.

Steel then morphed into a giant Infested-looking Zerg, but his voice wasn't distorted.

"This city will be consumed and this planet will become our new home! I will even kill this planet's heroes to ensure it happens!" said Steel as he flew off towards the Hive.

Skyler climbed out of the water and then used his wings to keep up with Steel as they came to the Hive where Metal Heads were overwhelming the Zerg defenses. Landing in the middle of the nest, Steel grabs the unconscious boy threatening to crush him in one hand.

"Take another step, and your father dies, erasing you from history and making sure my sister leaves!"

"You really need to work on your defenses Steel." said Kor was he walked in.

"BACK OFF OLD MAN! This has nothing to do with you!"

"On the contrary, if you kill him then I'll make you suffer for it." said Kor as he changed into his Metal Head form.

"AHHH! FINE! THE CHILD WILL BE LEFT ALIVE, BUT I'LL STILL KILL SKYLER!" said Steel as he put the boy in a green ball and set it aside.

"You think Precursor Beasts are destructive? You haven't seen what a Precursor Hybrid is capable of, especially one who is incredibly PISSED OFF!" said Skyler as his eyes changed into reptilian-like eyes with hellfire red coloring, his tails became 10 spiked tails with liquid metal tips, his body morphed to hold a dragon head but remained upright, his wings became larger and arced off lightning and Dark Eco, and his claws became serrated and gleamed with hellfire red lightning, and his armor became hellfire red as did his fur and scales.

"I could level this entire planet with one swipe of a finger, that's why Rage wanted my body, but now you'll get to suffer my wrath!" said Skyler as he towered over both Kor and Steel combined.

Arriving at the Hive. thanks to a Metal Head Rhino, the three dismounted and watched in awe as the Metal Heads easily overwhelmed a Ultralisk (unkown to them) and brought it down with a loud crash. They jumped when they heard a extremely loud roar and saw hellfire red fire erupt from the nest as Steel came out with his wings burnt to a crisp and Skyler broke thru the Hive walls and grabbed Steel with one hand and slammed him to the ground. As the trio watched the incredibly noticably one sided fight, it began to rain. Lightning flashed as Skyler easily ripped Steel in half and then incinerated the Zerg Leader's corpse.

Appearing besides the trio, Kor watched as did the Crocadog boy at Skyler's rampage thru the Zerg Nest, tearing apart the larger Zerg with ease. One thing that made all four jump was the little kid pounce on an approaching Zergling and rip its head off with his teeth.

"This might take some getting used to." said Kor quietly.

By 6 am, the Zerg Hive was nothing but smoldering ruins as Skyler returned to his regular height, regained his usaul features, but his fur and scales slowly regained their greenish-orange coloring. Upon approaching the five, Daxter fainted.

"As Daxter would say, 'remind me not to piss you off.'" quoted Jak with fear barely showing in his eyes and voice.

"I'll take the Crocadog boy back to whatever time you send me to and take care of him. I just hope he doesn't get too...agressive." said Kor as Skyler opened a portal for them.

"Don't worry, he won't. Oh, by the way Kor, lose the long ears." said Skyler as Kor walked into the portal and Kor nodded before the portal closed.

"So, now what?" asked Naruto.

"Now, you guys continue on with whatever adventures await you three." said Skyler as he walked away.

"Wait! What about you?" said Jak.

"I don't know...If you need me use this..." said Skyler as he tossed a wierd looking item to Jak, "Or let Naruto get in trouble" said Skyler as he disappeared in a Sandstorm.

The city was celebrating a over the fall of Zero and rebuilding, the helping the sick and poor get back on their feet was getting back into gear. Samos was in Onin's tent as the city was setting off fireworks.

"You think we'll ever see that Hybrid again?" asked Samos to the blind and mute soothsayer.

"Onin says 'Maybe, but not in your's or mine remaining years." said Pecker interpeting Onin.

Looking at the Naughty Ottsel from a nearby roof, Skyler watched as Underground members and his friends celebrated.

"I'm never leaving this place. Besides with what's ahead, they'll need me." said Skyler as a small orange creature with glowing Precursor staff stood besides him.

"They have many trials ahead. You sure they're ready?" spoke the Ottsel Leader.

"Yeah. They're more than ready." said Skyler as he disappeared in a flash of lightning as did the Ottsel Leader.
