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!
152Please respect copyright.PENANAKI3WBq4JDG
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ314mpthd
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPbSIQBY8FX
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!
152Please respect copyright.PENANAKyMEOOcGbv
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
152Please respect copyright.PENANARgKsBhQViI
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
152Please respect copyright.PENANA6bsdyC8VB9
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAlxN5xCtI2U
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJznLTzAN7E
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAcPc3YWWQQp
Goten: Aw.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAhg7MMdVViF
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsE1NddH3x8
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAreTrpeAGYR
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?
152Please respect copyright.PENANAVUiIuOmR73
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAafucLzzLkp
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
152Please respect copyright.PENANAUhuz6xzQkB
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAogD5G5m5o0
Goten: Right…
152Please respect copyright.PENANAD1GyjKllzS
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAlqfV64xJ2I
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
152Please respect copyright.PENANAgN2NaMHqDz
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAT0HfPciLiL
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
152Please respect copyright.PENANAMvKR2lttIu
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA1X4r9r1yCd
She said letting out a big sigh.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAuhfkS2fiza
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA3B9TCYUYsi
Videl giggled.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAp7PirvEeLi
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
152Please respect copyright.PENANALP3eK3BVQd
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAUL2aBw00XV
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
152Please respect copyright.PENANATGxzmZSMFV
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
152Please respect copyright.PENANARhv3drzDcm
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANANQFw5hgHCC
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
152Please respect copyright.PENANArgKVHv1YIL
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
152Please respect copyright.PENANAOEu5DJ1TqY
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxrWqH7mPoh
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?
152Please respect copyright.PENANAWOVFb0gdVm
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAZTXmNhbmpc
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
152Please respect copyright.PENANA9rBmvHigzH
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAUV1nWdj5KP
Goku: Crap!
152Please respect copyright.PENANAYIDunyXxPC
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAVHGDrtZWbA
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwdDi8uYiP2
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAZlBELiwCrN
Goku: Everything is fine!
152Please respect copyright.PENANAYRKWQK3OEM
He said in a panic.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA05qyLRDRtW
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
152Please respect copyright.PENANAtP8zIT9jtf
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
152Please respect copyright.PENANApxa8bAvrFj
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
152Please respect copyright.PENANADBTovaO4FE
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjfvnQAYvds
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANANGxAgbro3m
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjbpT4GlGrD
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAk8qu5Kb1bl
Gohan: Dad!
152Please respect copyright.PENANAYbDg6xpFUc
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAB3oDBHZfot
Goku: Huh?
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxU1ZGfktFt
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
152Please respect copyright.PENANALSCUUkVMe3
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsjCGAAv0Og
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
152Please respect copyright.PENANADEN79096Ob
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAYkRctjtMzU
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
152Please respect copyright.PENANAGHj2ThjiJl
Goku: I'm not sure.
152Please respect copyright.PENANADhnTtanasg
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjmPiSDXdcQ
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!
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdGJV3dEe79
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAON53QANATi
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
152Please respect copyright.PENANAtR2glWugKr
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
