"Did we somehow miraculously stumble upon an old Advent ship that disintegrated over time?" Scott wondered aloud, looking at the two still dormant Units. All four of them stood around the Units not wanting to activate them on accident.

"Nah, this cave's too small," said Rhia. "If this was something as old as that then it would be a hell of a lot deeper than this."

"True, but that leaves a more confusing question: how did they get here?" asked Amniculus.

"Native Americans maybe?" Rhia suggested pointing at the cave wall. "There are drawings all over the place, and they're all Native American art. I wouldn't be surprised if a nomad tribe hid these here on their way north or south. They probably sealed up the cave as well to keep other tribes and Europeans out."

"Since you're the expert here, Rhiannon, can you analyze them and see if they can tell us anything?" said Alkanphel. He chuckled at Scott's confused expression when Rhia made her way over to the cave wall. "She took college level classes while she was still in high school, including art history," he explained.

"Oh, okay."

"This is weird," they heard Rhia seconds later.

"What is it?"

"I think we need to get some scientists and archeologists here; these paintings appear to be much older than anything else discovered in this area."

"That's not surprising, considering what happened when settlers came into this area," commented Amniculus as he went over to Rhia's side. "However, what these paintings say are surprising."

"You mind sharing with the rest of the class?" asked Scott, he and the other Zoalord finally getting curious enough to look closely at the paintings too.

"I can't determine which tribe made this, but it looks like a member of the tribe equipped a Unit on accident. The Guyver," she started moving to the right, following the narration, "killed a majority of the tribe before a warrior deactivated it and the Units were hidden here."

"Deactivate?" repeated Alkanphel. "They had a Unit Remover?"

"Apparently so, because the warrior died soon after deactivating the Unit. I am more curious of how they even found them in the first place. From what is shown says that all four objects in question were found together in a different place." She pointed to the first part of the narrative. "See the plants here? They're desert plants. They must have been found in a desert."

"Arizona?" asked Amniculus quietly.

"I would venture to guess so," replied Rhia.

"Why would they hide them all the way here?" asked Alkanphel.

"They probably didn't want anyone else to get it and the same thing happen all over again," said Scott. "This island isn't exactly a tourist attraction either. There's nothing here that attracts attention, and there was nothing here all those centuries ago. I'd be willing to bet good money that this was a blind spot for outsiders. Nothing extraordinary here, so no one will bother to even come and explore the place."

"In any case, we should probably get a team of archeologists down here and find out how old these paintings are," Rhia reminded them. "Also, we need to find that Remover quickly."

"One problem at a time, Rhiannon," Alkanphel gave her a small smile. "Sin, will you see to it that the Remover is found." And see that Scott is rewarded for rescuing Rhia.

Yes, my Lord.

"Rhia, I need you to come with me, and bring the two Units."

"Yes, Lord Alkanphel."

"And Scott," he addressed the boy. "Thank you again, for all you've done for Rhiannon."

Scott inclined his head toward him unsure how to respond.

Several seconds later Rhia was following Alkanphel through the sky carrying the two remaining Units.

Alkanphel, are you sure you do not want me to teleport us both to wherever you want us to go? She asked her guardian. You've already exhausted yourself enough today.

I appreciate your concern, Rhia, said he. However, you have never been to our destination before except for one time.

One time?

You were just a newly born infant at the time, so you probably don't remember the place. He left it at that and Rhia had a feeling that he wouldn't say more until they got to where they were going. I can tell that you are also tired, he said after a moment of silence.

I think my body is adjusting to being bonded to the Guyver. I have to wonder if either of the other hosts felt the same way when they first equipped the armor.

That is probably the case. We'll confirm it when I bond with one of the Units. Just hang in there until we've reached out destination.

I will do my best.

Scott stared up at the ceiling thinking. The room Cronos temporarily gave him was nice and all, but he couldn't stop thinking about Rhia. It had been hours since she left and he found it difficult to think about anything else. Where was she? Was she alright?

Scott groaned and turned over to his side facing the wall next to his bed now.

Stay safe, Rhia, he silently prayed and drifted off into dreamland.

It was dark when they finally reached their destination. However, Rhia could see the island as though it were still day time; she could see plant life that had been thought to be extinct for a long time, along with a number of dinosaurs she managed to spot. The island would have sparked her interest were she not so tired to the point of falling asleep once they landed.

They flew to the white, stone temple in the center of the island. Alkanphel landed first and Rhia soon collapsed into his ready arms.

"This is weird," she yawned tiredly. "I've never been this sleepy before."

"I'll take you inside to sleep," said he projecting worry without the need to express his worry verbally. He swept her feet off the ground, situated the two Units to where she could still hold onto them, and carried her inside the temple.

"Whazthiplace?" she slurred.

"It is my home, Sihla," he told her understanding what she had said. After spending an entire year with Rhia allowed Alkanphel to understand the "it's too damn early in the morning" speech.

Rhia didn't appear to have any more questions, or she just didn't have the energy to ask any more, because she immediately fell asleep in his arms after that brief exchange. It concerned him that she was so tired after equipping the Guyver, but he hoped it was just as she had said earlier about her body adjusting to the Guyver and nothing else. The weariness she projected was nothing like the weariness he himself felt when he needed to hibernate, yet it did not ease his worry. He realized then that he had unconsciously held Rhia closer as he continued to walk deeper into the temple.

I have every right to worry, he told himself. She's my only daughter. I don't want to lose her.
