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!
690Please respect copyright.PENANAyLMr1nJnno
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAQkddS4T7qh
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAnWxS97IWvh
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!
690Please respect copyright.PENANA4gRbitpkHx
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
690Please respect copyright.PENANA2JfWYDyz7F
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
690Please respect copyright.PENANA1OuAgvZZ2H
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.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAMLEKujAoYW
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
690Please respect copyright.PENANAKkVq4yXk64
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAMz1Izl4DYD
Goten: Aw.
690Please respect copyright.PENANA7w81qlJVzp
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAmtTmrBkjAN
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
690Please respect copyright.PENANADbKihvAmas
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?
690Please respect copyright.PENANAF32RzAhK1M
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.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAtS6u2Pidc1
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
690Please respect copyright.PENANA0UuOyrijyA
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.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAgiTmfZOfP9
Goten: Right…
690Please respect copyright.PENANAXiClA3k6r2
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.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAfPjSRGWWVP
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
690Please respect copyright.PENANAKs2njfrqU8
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.
690Please respect copyright.PENANA4iZ07cU0iT
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
690Please respect copyright.PENANA72V9auSWdp
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAFyAl6gGlwN
She said letting out a big sigh.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAonmsgGcaMM
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAt4fEuSF5hn
Videl giggled.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAHniVYZY1Qk
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAnUKtqFkJ40
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAVdyGz312Bp
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
690Please respect copyright.PENANAIhIW9wgeJd
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
690Please respect copyright.PENANA3BVPJmSR4U
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.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAFgFnazbIM4
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAFBiJSnRGXw
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
690Please respect copyright.PENANANPdlwxgQZu
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.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAlJuecSBdFG
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?
690Please respect copyright.PENANAzAmvVMqRWf
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAsniA2QGvHb
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
690Please respect copyright.PENANAK9CCAWBjxJ
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.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAh6GvGi9J6f
Goku: Crap!
690Please respect copyright.PENANAjTkEUzHvD8
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAaUMFbNldqt
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
690Please respect copyright.PENANAqhI1YOQ0nB
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAr3Q8t3oOez
Goku: Everything is fine!
690Please respect copyright.PENANAV7qzyvREkw
He said in a panic.
690Please respect copyright.PENANATsgR77N5NI
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
690Please respect copyright.PENANAubxh3ku5X5
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAzcq8aoiWJ7
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
690Please respect copyright.PENANAW1IfOydbTk
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
690Please respect copyright.PENANAGrSDO89zmt
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.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAA85KwY7psB
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.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAMHz0cvOFec
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.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAXTGHdcIOHE
Gohan: Dad!
690Please respect copyright.PENANAljdAsPYDck
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAtky7mtbn9q
Goku: Huh?
690Please respect copyright.PENANAZCDf51X5Hi
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
690Please respect copyright.PENANAspzUyDucDP
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.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAcohIYcuWTz
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAYBz5Q099ZP
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAztNCiIQgMc
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
690Please respect copyright.PENANALxWsBYcOlF
Goku: I'm not sure.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAlh5lEwr5yZ
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.
690Please respect copyright.PENANAp8OVubGr6i
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!
690Please respect copyright.PENANA9w1hRWEzrE
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
690Please respect copyright.PENANA5OA8oq2TDi
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
690Please respect copyright.PENANA18do5kCA40
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
