65 million years later, their base was found by both Void Knight, Amelia and Ollie, who later were able to morph into the next Dino Fury Pink and Blue Rangers. When the stasis pod was briefly damaged. Solon was able to wake Zayto up, who also tried to stop Void Knight from taking the Sporix. Then, the two knights fought brutally, but at the cost of the chest that contained the Sporix being opened by the Dino Dagger and letting them loose. Zayto begins training Ollie and Amelia. Zayto tries contacting the planet Rafkon, not knowing if anybody out there is still alive after being absent for millions of years. Later, they were led by Izzy to find her brother Javi, who had escaped with the Nephrite Orb. Zayto is then shocked to find the Black and Green Dino Fury Keys, which transformed Izzy and Javiinto Rangers. Zayto, Ollie, and Amelia later brought Javi and Izzy to their base and revealed their identities to officially welcome the new recruits, before introducing them to Solon and revealing his nature as a Rafkonian. Zayto later learns that the Morphin Masters created mystical artifacts to help Ranger teams through the Morphin Grid, and one of those artifacts was the Ninja Nexus Prism. He sees that once the Ninja Steel Rangers completed their mission, the Prism left Earth, while the Morphin Masters continued to watch every Ranger team fight against evil, including another team of Rangers and themselves. Zayto also sees that the Prism came back to Earth for a new mission, one that it is currently searching for.

Sometime later, Zayto meets Arla, a female Rafkonian who claims that the other Rafkonians have found a way to destroy the Sporix. Despite Solon's protests, Zayto trusts her and agrees that he can trust her with the Sporix they've recaptured, only to find out she's really Slyther. Zayto later apologizes to Solon for not trusting her. Upon being cornered while fighting against a Sporix Beast, Zayto and the others witnessed the arrival of a mysterious Gold Ranger. The Gold Ranger teleported down into the underground base to greet them, at which point he demorphed to reveal that he was fellow Rafkonian Aiyon. Zayto would then question how his comrade survived, to which he revealed that he managed to escape the destruction of Ultrazord along with Zayto before being asleep in the sea and being reawakened by the Green Morphin Master. When Aiyon revealed his past and true origin of Sporix Beasts, Zayto begins to lose the trust of his teammates due to withholding this vital information. This caused him to act hastily in a battle with Mucus, which in turn had Aiyon call him out for not being such a good leader. Disheartened, Zayto temporarily left the team, with Aiyon taking over leadership.

After some encouragement from Solon, Zayto would then appear to assist the team on fighting. After managing to exit the Megazord, Aiyon would then apologize to Zayto for being a bad leader since his actions almost led his team into destruction. Zayto assures his friend that it was for the best and said that he is just glad to have him back as both former knights repaired their friendship. Following the battle, he would then be reestablished as the leader after Aiyon gave the position back to him, as the latter finally learned about the big responsibility of a leader and forgives Zayto for his past mistakes. Zayto and Ayon soon set out on a mission to the planet Nibiro in search of the Light and Shadow Raptor Zords. They arrived there after being ejected from Earth's orbit during the Great Sporix Battle. There they face the Guardian's trials, which project nightmarish illusions of the fallen Ranger team, but the two Rafkonian knights can reconcile with their friend's memories, pass the test, and gain access to their zords.

After Void Knight steals Dr. Akana's capacitor, Zayto and the other Rangers, except for Ollie, are captured by the villains and chained to a machine that Void Knight intended to use to revive his comatose wife, Santaura. Void Knight's plans are thwarted when Ollie destroys the Dinohenge statue and saves the Rangers. Freed, Zayto's team battles Void Knight, setting off an explosion in the process, seemingly defeating Void Knight. Zayto was trapped in a pocket dimension, but later managed to escape, where he found a badly injured Void Knight. Void Knight then revealed that he had the Dino Knight Morpher and gave it to him. When Zayto got his Morpher back, he transformed into Dino Knight Red Ranger and defeated Snageye. Zayto eventually finds Rafkon, but unfortunately ends up being destroyed by Lord Zedd after obtaining the Sporix Generator. During the final battle with the Nemesis Beast, Zayto uses the ultimate attack of the Dino Master Blade and harnesses its power to sacrifice his own life to destroy the Nemesis Beast. A few months later, however, he was resurrected and given a new suit to inform the other Dino Fury Rangers that Lord Zedd had escaped from Crystal's imprisonment.
