The sun had set. Goku was home dining with his family. He didn't have anywhere to train much other than the occasional spar with the gentle giant, Broly, after receiving his next task from his current master, Whis. With no proper chance to train, he spent more time at home.

Chi-chi: Goku! Stop staring at your food. You're scaring Goten!
676Please respect copyright.PENANABp0emU65f2
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAyXmaKMGGSt
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
676Please respect copyright.PENANA4UfLUNxgZr
Goten: Are you okay dad? You've been acting kind of strange today. You barely even touched your food. But I'm not complaining! That just means more for me haha!
676Please respect copyright.PENANAOE59AqM52h
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAmCQAWbVHzS
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
676Please respect copyright.PENANAwpuaJe0WAT
Chi-chi: We should go visit Gohan! I'm sure he wouldn't mind going a few rounds with you. You've already turned him into a delinquent, at the very least take advantage of it.
676Please respect copyright.PENANA75QMtlAOQS
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
676Please respect copyright.PENANA9broz4aKyr
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAjwPUtfTypZ
Goten: Aw.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAf1PDcyB29X
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAe91fhcXklE
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAY9TkjNxIBZ
Goku: That guy, is he really me? I don't know what it is, but I feel like he understands something I don't. Could this be what Whis meant by finding balance in my life?
676Please respect copyright.PENANAzoMrfFFsom
His thoughts went on for another hour before he finally dozed off to a deep sleep. The night flew by and soon came the next day. Goku had awoken at the perfect hour to catch Gohan at a good time.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAvWpfY5gvQW
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
676Please respect copyright.PENANALQqbOza4tB
Chi-chi: Goten, make sure to bring your homework. Your big brother Gohan will probably be glad to tutor you once he's done with your dad.
676Please respect copyright.PENANA0bpL7MP2J8
Goten: Right…
676Please respect copyright.PENANAbPObHqKWjG
They both huddled up against Goku so he could teleport them to Gohan's place. They arrived in a n instant, proceeding to ring the doorbell. Videl answered the door, welcoming the guests in.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAybPW6Sw269
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
676Please respect copyright.PENANATB9bu3w1ZX
Chi-chi: Oh, Goku here was itching for another fight and Gohan has gotten a lot stronger recently so he thought we could stop by here for a quick round.
676Please respect copyright.PENANArLos4bPX7G
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
676Please respect copyright.PENANARjbod6uHzR
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAwtsF1QPu3U
She said letting out a big sigh.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAx1y3yR94NG
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAfbiLLk2dsi
Videl giggled.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAa9dd1TZuzd
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
676Please respect copyright.PENANACkI5FJLMlJ
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAl6v1IVlbmc
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
676Please respect copyright.PENANAd5KF49rdKI
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
676Please respect copyright.PENANAJI1yNNaTcu
Gohan: Well that's not exactly what I had in mind for today. But sure! How about we have some breakfast first though, I'm sure you don't want to pass on that dad.
676Please respect copyright.PENANA7NQcJqlDOs
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
676Please respect copyright.PENANACm61B7a0U2
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
676Please respect copyright.PENANASRqJKFwveA
He asked as he lifted her up. Pan giggled andshook her arms and legs around in excitement. Goku smiled before putting her down and holding her properly again.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAF7BGcRf8UR
Goku: She's sure bigger than the last time I saw her. She's half saiyan and earthling so I bet even as a baby she's strong. Maybe I could test it, just a little?
676Please respect copyright.PENANAwLUshd1gRS
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
676Please respect copyright.PENANA36Ff0DHP9z
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
676Please respect copyright.PENANAKR3T9COEC9
Goku stretched out his arm and flicked his granddaughter who reacted just in time to block the attack. However, she wasn't powerful enough to withstand the force and was knocked against a wall.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAyfRaVkrfDi
Goku: Crap!
676Please respect copyright.PENANAFV4zobyCUc
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAOVxlD39O2O
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
676Please respect copyright.PENANANkvPVJkpuO
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6omYchznI
Goku: Everything is fine!
676Please respect copyright.PENANAfMCCC71VIH
He said in a panic.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAFUTz8elQJw
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
676Please respect copyright.PENANAMAmhV6I6Tm
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAM7ayAZORIw
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
676Please respect copyright.PENANAQwSg6LvWUS
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
676Please respect copyright.PENANAeT6H8j1A5G
Goku made his way to the kitchen. The table was full, with all sorts of breakfast delights. The entire family sat down to enjoy their meal. As Goku sat down to eat, he ate slowly and patiently as opposed to his usual habit of chowing down his meals in seconds. His expression was that of desperation. He fell deep within his thoughts while everyone else took pleasure in eating their meal.
676Please respect copyright.PENANA925u2SiZWd
Goku: This is all I could ask for right? A happy united family, amazing meals, and some strong friends and family I can spar with for fun. Why am I having doubts? I've never considered a different life, so why is it only now that this meal we share seems so trivial to the actual reason I'm here? I'm not that desperate for a good fight am I? There's more to enjoy right now.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAHDe7i0xXNn
The house suddenly shook with a force similar to an earthquake. The family panicked for a second, searching for the the source of the disturbance.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAApmorUJO0j
Gohan: Dad!
676Please respect copyright.PENANANmiBDjqhNB
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAmTuKMoLXnh
Goku: Huh?
676Please respect copyright.PENANAPtAfuibiZW
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
676Please respect copyright.PENANAoERM30dk69
Goku looked down at his foot, realizing he had been tapping it on the ground intensely the entire time he had spent managing his thoughts. He immediately stopped his foot and turned back to his son.
676Please respect copyright.PENANA5LkSRlDK5X
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAyaauhoL5Rv
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
676Please respect copyright.PENANA2FoLM2cnsy
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
676Please respect copyright.PENANAoDn4lmCeyE
Goku: I'm not sure.
676Please respect copyright.PENANAnebVzTHTwG
Gohan smiled and stood up from his seat, with a look of determination in his eyes. He turned a joint in his watch and instantly changed into his heroic getup. Gohan changed his tone of voice into an enthusiastic mood.
676Please respect copyright.PENANATkSQbqnDVm
Gohan: I see the problem here! It seems this warrior is looking for a powerful opponent worth his time! Luckily for him, the mighty Great Saiyaman is here to fulfill his request!
676Please respect copyright.PENANADYzZShNm2M
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
676Please respect copyright.PENANA5Uvy5v2GUS
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
676Please respect copyright.PENANAisK8aIay2Y
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
