Cale finished his bath and went back to the cave, already the two there were sparing and at each other's throats. Sighing he pulled the two apart and punched both in the face sending them flying.

"If you don't mind, lets go over our plans, now." He growled, ordering the two around like he normally did. They obeyed his orders and they quickly go down to work.

"Okay now all we have to do is this..." after a few hours of giving ideas and quickly discarding them, Cale finally filled them in on what happened mentally.

Cale closed his eyes and brought up the situation in his mind, the other two quickly closed their eyes and saw though Cale's eyes what had happened.

When it was over they were furious. They quickly took to the air, expressions of anger on their faces as they followed the strong Ki's and soon were headed stright up a tower, through a tower, and still going up. They finally landed on the edge of the lookout, looking at the shocked group,

"Take your look because were tired of you spying on us, you'd better stop it or...or we'll leave," Shorty threatened. The others were so shocked that they could barely move as they gazed at the three fuming warriors. Suddenly they felt very self-conscious and the anger faded from their faces and slight, barely noticeable blushes tented their faces.

"Well, that got their attention," Gok mumbled, "Great plan Cale,"

"Wasn't my idea, I was following you two," Cale grinned, the two were unable to lie to him. Grinning Cale jumped off the side of the lookout, the two followed after him.

"HEY COME BACK HERE CALE! I'M NOT DONE TALKING TO YOU!" Seeasa followed after him quickly.

"Aw ma, leave me alone, I don't wanna talk!" Cale sped up and left his mother in the clouds.

The three soon found themselves not moving. Something was holding them in place and they couldn't move.

"Not. So. Fast. Boys." The last words of three doomed boys were spoken by Bra, who held Shorty by the scruff of his neck. Pan held Gok by his, and Cale's mother had managed to get hold of his.

"Uh, hiya mom," Gok said, waving slightly. All three prepared for what was coming next, so did everybody else with sensitive hearing.

"DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED WE WERE ABOUT YOU?" Bra yelled,

"CALE IF YOU EVER SPEAK TO ME IN THAT MANNER AGAIN I'LL PERSONALLY SEND YOU INTO THE NEXT DIMENSION!"

"GOKU JR. I WON'T EVEN START WITH YOU!" suddenly the males were arguing with their mates trying to calm them down. While they were distracted, Ice decided to take over Cale's body. Cale went limp in his mother's arms and Gok and Shorty noticed this. Quickly they attacked any and all peoples.

Cale's head snapped up, seeing the scenes of battle around him, Ice smirked using Cale's face.

"What the hell is up with them now!?" Pan asked exasperated.

"I don't know but its not good...what they hell...CALE!" Seeasa yelled as Cale broke free of his mother.

"I'm not Cale, I'm Ice, and I'm close enough to read this boys thoughts." 'Cale' turned and faced the two fighting Goten and Trunks.

"Brats!" Cale roared, immediately they dodged the last attacks and flew toward Ice, fear etched in their faces. "I'll be reaching the planet soon, I've changed my mind and have decided to pick you up now. I've got a problem with the north quadrant again, get ready to be picked up in a few minutes. And I have read this brat's thoughts. Be assured that your misgivings and plotting will be punished," 'Cale' said in a sinister voice. Cale suddenly went limp, as to be expected right after his body had been used twice in one day, and he passed out cold. Gok caught him before he hit the ground.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Shorty yelled at the Z-warriors, the three were quickly flying away now, well, Cale was still out cold, but not for long. Soon they had to land; the agony in their bodies was too intense. The bands around their wrists glowed a soft blackish color and the three curled into the fetal position trying to make it stop. The Z-warriors watched in horror as a large ship appeared and something forced the three convulsing teens into the ship, it then disappeared from sight...



"WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT TRYING TO ESCAPE? ANSWER ME!" Ice roared as he kicked Cale in his ribs, already the boy was bruised and beaten and with the collar on its maximum he was no where near strong enough to fend off the blows. Seeing as Cale had taken the blame for everything, Gok and Shorty didn't know about this, he was getting the punishment. Ice hadn't seen everything in his mind, he had mind blocks ad he wasn't that stupid, I mean come on? Suddenly the blows stopped and Cale softly sighed, to low to be heard. It was over, or so he thought. His arms were grabbed and before he knew it he was tied to the wall. His shirt had long ago been destroyed in the beating, so he was bare backed.

If anyone could have seen his back, they would have seen a multitude of crisscrossing scars along his back. Barely anything was left to the imagination at to what had happened. Not an inch on his back was there of unmarred skin. Cale whimpered, with the Ki collar up at its maximum, there was no way he'd survive this. He screamed in pain as the whip crashed down on his back...

Gok and Shorty heard the scream, no so much as physically but mentally. A scream filled with anguish and hurt. The two sat on the floor and knew that if they didn't intervene now, Cale would die. The two leaned against the wall side by side, legs touching. Linked though touch, they slipped into Cale's mind and right into his nerve system. Then the next blow fell and they both felt one tenth of that pain. Their back's, barely marred because Cale always felt it was his job to stick up for them, felt as if each blow was landed directly on them. The blows rained down for hours and soon all three slowly slipped from the conscious world. Barely hanging on by a thread, the blows finally stopped and the two slowly got off the ground, pale as a sheet.

A few minutes later, Cale was thrown into the room. Quickly the two dragged him to a regeneration pod for healing. They hooked the monitors up to his forehead and slipped the air mask on him and closed the pod. Turning it on the two slowly trudged to their beds, but then Ice walked in and grabbed the two.

"I need a punching bag, and you two are it." He growled, dragging the took fighting saiya-jins out of the room. The were unconsciously still linked to Cale's mind, who was without a doubt still conscious mentally, and seeing as he had inherited from his mother, he could take more pain into him. About half of what they had felt, then we was really out cold, as their beating started...



Still pretty beat up from before they didn't think they would last that long, but they did, several hours at least. They were tossed into the regeneration tanks when the beating was over with, but they were still awake, that is until the sleeping gas the tank produced knocked them out cold...



Seeasa growled and attacked her mate once again. Kovu was tiring but she still had a long way to go.

"Go rest Kovu, I'll spar with Vegeta," Seeasa said, Kovu nodded and left the gravity room. Almost, as if on cue, as soon as Kovu left Vegeta walked in.

"Lets spar," Seeasa growled, attacking in the intense gravity before he could blink...

The others were pretty much doing the same, except Bulma, Videl, Goten and Gohan were in the labs trying to come up with a way to get their children or relations back...



The next eight years that passed were hell for everyone. Every received new scars, whether physically, mentally, or both. The boys learned not to trust anyone, and Cale lost his kind and caring mode and turned stony to everyone. Then he met her...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who is 'Her'? I've decided that seeing as Gok, Shorty and Cale are now, twenty-three, twenty-three, and twenty-two, its time they got a love life, so I'm splitting that up by different chapters. Cale is first, cause hes the youngest, then Gok, cause I like Goku, and Shorty.
