Chapter 13: It's Namek!
Ten days later, the crew of four was ready to head to Namek. Before leaving though, Chi-Chi cut Gohan and Goha's hair and let them see their Father one last time before heading off into space. He laughed when he saw Gohan's bowl hair cut while Goha had hers cut just to her chin. Poor Gohan, Goha thought as she looked at her brother.
"Listen you two, be safe out there," Goku told his two oldest children.
"We will Dad, and we'll bring everyone back," Gohan promised.
Goku nodded and then had the twins come over to his bed, since he couldn't get out of it, and hugged them both really tight. The twins then went to the Turtle house to go on board the ship to begin their voyage into space. "You have everything packed right?" Chi-Chi asked her kids as they got ready. "And you know to do your homework, right?"
"We know Mom. We'll be okay though." Gohan insisted, trying to calm his Mother's fears.
They gave her one last hug and did the same with Chinku before heading into the ship to begin their one-month voyage to planet Namek. During that time, Krillin and the twins did image training to not only pass the time but to prepare for whatever was going to be thrown at them. They hoped to not run into trouble but you never know what could happen.
Before long, a month came and went. The crew of the ship were getting ready to go stir crazy...well, Bulma was anyway. It was a relief when planet came into view. The four members of the crew seat belted themselves in when it came time to go in for the landing. It was bumpy but they soon were on the green planet known as Namek. Once they had landed, Gohan, Goha and Krillin walked out onto the planet while Bulma was explaining things. They weren't trying to ignore her on purpose though.
"Hey, this looks like the place where Piccolo trained us, Goha," Gohan pointed out as they looked at their surroundings.
"Yeah. Hey, isn't it also the place where we fought the Saiyans?" Krillin pointed out.
"I guess Piccolo felt at ease fighting in a familiar area," Goha guessed.
"Well thank you for waiting!" Bulma yelled. "You know the air could've been toxic! Then what?! Huh?! Answer me!"
"Why is she mad now?" Krillin whispered to the twins.
The twins shrugged their shoulders at the same time, not really sure either.
"Maybe it's a girl thing."
Goha scratched her head. If getting angry quickly was a girl thing, did that mean that she was going to act like Bulma and her Mother when she got older? If so, Goha hoped that she learned to be much more calm than them.
Trying to ignore her anger, Bulma pulled out the dragon radar and turned it on. Instantly several little bleeps appeared on the device, indicating that there were, in fact, dragon balls on the planet. "Take a look at this guys! We have a reading! There are definitely dragon balls here!" Bulma cheered.
"You're right!" Krillin stated after seeing the readings for himself.
The twins, however, were not focused on the readings, although the news that there were dragons balls on the planet was great to hear. However, Gohan and Goha were more concerned with other pressing matters; they were feeling energies on the planet. It appeared that there were a lot of strong energy levels, which didn't initially alarm the two. However, what got their attention was that the energies appeared to put off an evil aura. Didn't King Kai mention that the Namekians were peaceful? So why was there so much evil to it?
"Hey Goha, do you feel that too?" Gohan asked his sister.
"Yeah. I don't like it." Goha replied.
We should be careful, Gohan sent a telepathic message to his sister. It's a new trick Gohan and Goha had perfected during their month-long time in space. They had first started working on it when they were doing training with Piccolo.
Flashback
After a month of training, Piccolo had noticed how close Gohan and Goha were. Sometimes they would finish each others' sentences, speak at the same time, and know how the other one was feeling without saying anything. Piccolo saw an opportunity with this. This could be useful against the Saiyans, Piccolo thought as he watched them eat their dinner, which they caught all by themselves.
The next day, Piccolo did a different type of training with the twins. "All right you two, we will be doing something a little bit different today," Piccolo explained to them. "We will be working on a physic link."
"A physic link?" they both asked at once.
"Yes. You two are more than siblings, you are twins," Piccolo spoke. "Being such, you have the ability to form a link between one another. This link could possibly be helpful against the Saiyans."
"How so?" Gohan asked.
"Let's say for instance the two of you are separated. With this link, you can not only contact one another through thought but also find out where the other is and coordinate an attack that the enemy won't see coming."
"So, we'll be able to read each other's minds?" Goha asked.
"Not exactly. Let's just get to work." The Namekian forced the two to sit on the ground and focus on each other. He made them look at one another and think about connecting with the other person. "Focus on each other. Say the other's name through thought and thought alone."
It was a hard thing to do. Gohan and Goha tried their best to get the link working but nothing happened. They did this for several hours, going without moving or having any food or water. Piccolo groaned, believing that he had truly wasted a day of training on a theory that didn't even work.
End of Flashback
Now, on Namek, after working hard to perfect their teacher's skill that he wanted to teach them, Gohan and Goha wished to keep their new technique a secret, for now anyway. They were only going to use it in case of emergencies. There was more pressing matters to deal with anyway, like the evil powers that were on Namek.
What have we gotten ourselves into? Goha thought as she and Gohan stared into the direction of the energies.
