FriTik: Welcome one and all to chapter 7 of my story!

Computer: Yeah yeah real nice. SO when do I come into the story?

FriTik: I'm already giving you a role in a different story so why do you care right now?

Computer: Because that one is still in the early stages and while you have a plot planned you have yet to properly introduce it!

FriTik: I'm working on introducing it...

Also I find myself simultaneously working on three stories right now and school is back in session in less than a week as well as the new World of Warcraft expansion so updates are going to be a bit slower...

Computer: They're already pretty damn slow.

FriTik: Shut up. And as the updates will be slow I recommend investigating my other works as a way to spend the time between updates. Just an idea you don't have to but I would appreciate it.

Well that's all I got for now. Enjoy the chapter folks!

Our chapter begins on the scene of Piccolo training Gohan and Gojie.

It had been about a month since Piccolo had started hands on training the siblings. The three were going at it with both Gohan and Gojie trying to bring down their green mentor and not that he would admit it they were actually doing a pretty good job.

Gojie threw a punch at Piccolo's head while Gohan aimed for his torso with a kick. Piccolo dodged Gojie's punch and jabbed her in the gut knocking the wind out of her and grabbed Gohan's leg and swung him around throwing him into a nearby rock.

Gojie recovered and launched herself at her mentor with a flurry of punches toward his upper torso and head. Piccolo raised his arms and moved quickly to block, dodge or redirect all of her punches.

He was so focused on her that he almost hadn't noticed Gohan picking himself back up and coming at him from behind with a kick to the head.

Almost being the keyword there.

He quickly moved out of the way causing Gohan to sail into his sibling knocking them both to the ground.

"GOHAN!" Gojie said disdainfully, "You're supposed to be attacking him not me!"

"Sorry" Gohan said, "I wasn't expecting him to dodge."

Piccolo decided to use this as a teaching opportunity kicking each of his young charges while they were distracted.

"Never take your eyes off your opponent!" He called out as they got up.

The two picked themselves off the ground and glared at their mentor.

"You go left?" Gohan asked his sister.

"Only if you got right" She responded and with that they nodded at each other and launched themselves at their mentor once again.

Piccolo once again found himself hard pressed to defend against their onslaught. He was being forced to use one arm against each of them as they attack him from two sides.

With Piccolo focusing on their fists Gohan decided to throw in a kick to Piccolo's leg to try and knock him off balance.

Piccolo wasn't expecting the sudden kick and lost his footing allowing Gojie to get her punches through Piccolo's defenses Gohan jumping up again and joining her.

Piccolo now being assailed by the half saiyan duo and was having a difficult time getting his defenses raised again. He then noticed something hanging behind Gohan and smirked before shooting an arm out and grabbing the tail.

The effect on Gohan was immediate and he flopped like a ragdoll. Gojie not having expected her brother to suddenly drop down in the middle of an assault lost her momentum and allowed Piccolo to make a similar move on her.

Now holding the two lame children Piccolo looked from one to the other before growling and dropping them to the ground.

The two slowly picked themselves up. That wasn't fair. Gohan thought.

"Yeah it wasn't." Gojie said bringing her tail around and softly stroking it.

Piccolo and Gohan both blinked at Gojie. "Huh?" Was the simultaneous response.

Gojie looked confused. "What Gohan said, that it wasn't fair grabbing out tails. I was agreeing."

Piccolo looked at her mirroring her confusion. "He didn't say anything." he told her.

"Yeah he did." Gojie said stomping her foot glaring out her mentor with a very ChiChi like look. "Right Gohan?" She directed at her brother.

Gohan flinched under such a similar glare to their mother's before collecting himself. "Mr. Piccolo's right Gojie." He told her. "I didn't say anything…" He trailed off looking thoughtful putting a finger on his chin.

"But that's not right!" She whined. "I definitely heard you say 'that wasn't fair' Gohan."

"I didn't say it though." He reaffirmed, "But" he cut in before Gojie could start berating him again. "I did kind of think it." He rubbed the back of his head at his own answer.

Piccolo eyes widened before narrowing. I wonder… He thought before focusing mentally and poking at Gojie's consciousness.

"That doesn't make sense Gohan how could I hear your thoughts?!" Gojie asked angrily.

"I don't know!" Gohan defended himself. "But I didn't say anything but you said you heard me!"

Piccolo's eyes widened once again and stared at the little girl in shock. Her potential for telepathic abilities was incredible! It seem she was already unknowingly linked to Gohan and another, but the other was a dead end…

Oh right. Their brother, he was dead. That would certainly explain what happened to Gohan when he died. Losing a connection like that was incredibly painful. Most likely if the connection had been an open one he would've been in a much more damaged state.

Gohan showed some potential as well but not like his sister. Seemed the connection was a complete circuit they were both linked to each other and their late brother. This could be useful. He didn't have time or the skill to properly instruct Gojie to use her mental abilities in battle but he knew he could at least instruct the both of them on how to communicate with each other. It would be useful for the two to be able to work out battle plans without saying them out loud for their opponents to hear.

Now how to properly explain this to the pair…

"Okay then brats. I think I figured out what's going on." The siblings looked at Piccolo expectantly. "It seems you two share some sort of telepathic bond. You also shared it with your brother which explains what happened when he died. Gojie is more in tune with her abilities than you are Gohan which is why she's been hearing your thoughts."

Piccolo smirked "Now we're going to work on training this bond. If you can use it in battle then you'll be able to communicate your intentions without your opponent knowing."

"Wait we're telepathic." Gojie asked with more than some shock. Gohan nearly perfectly mirrored her look of surprise.

Piccolo sighed, "Did I not just make that clear? Now come on we need to find somewhere a bit less open so you two can focus without distractions."

Some time later Piccolo had found them a cave (which happened to be one the siblings had used during their training but decided not to bring it up).

He had them sitting cross legged with their eyes closed.

"Okay now he told them." Assuming a similar sitting position. "Clear your minds."

After a few moments he said. "Now look for a connection. Something that's there but not you and has always been there. There should be two connections. Try for the one that is still strong and stable."

Gojie noticed it first. A mental pair of doors that she had never noticed but were always there. One seemed almost new but the other looked old and beat up and the handle was broken. So she opened the first door.

Piccolo watched his two charges as they suddenly jerked and sat straighter.

Gohan? Gojie thought.

Gojie? So I guess it worked. Gohan sent back.

"Umm Mr Piccolo." Gojie said opening her eyes. "I think it worked."

Gohan too opened his eyes and nodded his head. Both siblings felt a bit strange but it didn't feel bad exactly, just different.

"Well then" Piccolo said, "I suggest you make good use of this next time we spar."

King Kai's planet…

"HEY-YAH" A voice yelled out quickly followed by "DARN IT".

Gokan sat under one of the planet's few trees hands supporting his head as he watched his father chase Bubbles the monkey around.

This was boring. Plain and simple.

After a few weeks of jogging he had managed to be able to walk normally on the small planet. Unfortunately King Kai seemed to want to tell jokes than train. He had managed to get a few basic routines out of the guy after making him laugh with some jokes of his own.

Knock knock jokes couldn't be beat.

But that and some weighted training gear of his own was all he had managed to get for the moment. And as Bubbles was currently preoccupied with his father he couldn't try catching the monkey for himself.

"You could do some more jogging" a nasally voice said behind him.

"WHY?!" He asked angrily, "I can already move around normally here and you won't teach me anything."

"Well yeah you can move around normally but you still get tired pretty quick." The Kai told him, "Hey that reminds me what did the guy with no arms say to the guy with no legs?"

Gokan gave him a glare worthy of the devil himself.

"Err… maybe now is not the best time." He coughed into his hand and turned towards Goku who was still chasing the monkey around.

"So what did you do for fun at home anyway? Why don't you just do that to entertain yourself." King Kai asked him sounding genuinely curious.

"At home I'll either explore the forest or play with Gohan and Gojie." He looked at the ground. He missed them.

"They're your siblings I'm guessing from the similarity of the names to your's and Goku's." The Kai looked at him.

"Yeah and well they're not here, not that I would really want them to be meaning they would be dead." Gokan said.

"I get the idea." King Kai said. Then an idea came to him.

"Say sometimes siblings who are born near each other can contact each other telepathically. I mean it's stronger for twins than anyone else but if you're around a year I might be able to help you set up some connection so you can communicate with them while you're here." King Kai explained to him.

Gokan looked up at him and blinked in surprise. "Really?" He asked.

"Well yeah assuming you were born within a ye-" King Kai started.

"We're triplets actually." Gokan cut in.

Oh boy King Kai, thought. Goku must have his hands full with three little kids. Especially if the other two were anything like this one...

"Well then" King Kai said. It'll be a bit difficult given the difference in realms but I should be able to work with it. Especially considering your closeness."

"Can you really make it so I can talk to Gohan and Gojie from here?" Gokan asked skeptically.

King Kai laughed, "Kid I'm a Kai of course I can help with this!"

"So how do we start?!" Gokan said eagerly leaping to his feet.

"Well calm down and come on and I'll tell you. We should probably go inside. It can get a bit distracting out here." King Kai said as Bubbles zipped by closely followed by Goku.

"Okay then come on" Gokan ran past him and into the house.

"Well the kids certainly got enthusiasm." King Kai chuckled and followed behind him into the house.

Back on earth…

Piccolo, Gohan and Gojie had turned in for the night and were sitting around a campfire. Both Gohan and Gojie had quite a bit of wear and tear so to speak but Piccolo wasn't spotless either.

The two saiyan hybrids were pretty tired and were about to go to sleep. Then they felt a similar sensation to the one when they had opened up their mental connection. And heard a voice in their heads.

So is this working? Can you two here me? I don't think it's working.

The brother and sister quickly sat up and stared around in shock before looking at each other.

Gohan was the first to send a mental communication to their latest addition to the mental link.

Gokan?

Yup! Coming to you from the land of the dead! The voice now identified as Gokan said. Speaking of it's not that bad up here. I don't look much different except I have a halo now.

Gojie ground her teeth YOU IDIOT! What were you thinking getting killed like that?

A sound that could be identified as a chuckle came through the link. Well I didn't plan on it you know sis? And he was actually aiming for Gohan and I pushed him out of the way.

Gohan looked really downcast at that and the emotions must of filtered through the link a bit because Gokan continued.

No Gohan do not blame yourself it was my idea to push you out of the way. He paused. So hows Mom doing?

We don't know Gohan sent, We haven't seen her.

WHAT?! Anger came through the link into Gohan and Gojie minds, WHY NOT?

Well Mr. Piccolo took us for training Gojie said matter of factly.

You mean the same Piccolo who was the bad guy in all of Daddy's stories and still scares Mom? Gokan asked rather dryly.

He's actually not that bad once you get to know him. Gohan sent.

And I like studying. Gokan sent. And Gojie wants to be a housewife.

He really isn't. Gojie sent.

I'll take your word for it for now but if he hurts you... Gokan said still feeling pretty protective of his younger siblings.

We"re fine Gokan. Gojie sent. But we are pretty tired can we get to sleep and talk to you tomorrow?

But what am I supposed to do? Gokan whined.

Don't you need to sleep too? Gohan asked curious.

Sometimes but not as much as I did when I was alive.

Oh. Gohan sent before laying back down Gojie following. We'll talk to you tomorrow then I guess.

Yeah I'll be here. Not much else to do. I'll tell daddy you said hi. Gokan sent.

Hey Gokan? Gohan sent.

Yeah bro?

Thank you for you know saving me. Gohan sent.

Hey what are big brothers for? Love you and you too Gojie.

Talk to you tomorrow Gokan. Gojie sent.

I'll be here.

FriTik: And scene!

Computer: WELL that chapter was actually eventful and thickened the plot. Not bad.

FriTik: IKR? I am quite proud of that! Not to mention I managed to post something during acceptable hours of the day!

Computer: Yeah usually it's around three AM that you've been posting.

FriTik: Yeah apparently I write better on caffeine highs after watching movies. Go figure.

Anyway let's go over the reviews from last chapter!

Crystalzap I feel like Akira Toriyama didn't exactly consider mental issues when he was writing/drawing Dragonball from what I know about the guy he would just draw and not really follow a written out plot. Hence why Launch was completely forgotten. I'm debating whether or not to use her actually...

Cruzerblade: I never could figure out why Gohan didn't train on his own. Admittedly he was probably a bit more focused on staying alive but with the two of them together I felt it would be useful and yeah it will make them stronger in the short term.

Nwandu225: Yeah about Gokan... welll just wait and see. Also they will be kicking ass in the future, that I can promise.

Guest: I'm a bit confused about the point you're trying to get across but the tails will allow them to have a bit more power but not really ESP power.

Thats all for now folks! Now I'm going to eat cause I'm incredibly hungry.

Computer: Ha stupid meat bag.

FriTik: See ya folks later!
