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!
614Please respect copyright.PENANACFbI7EbKVV
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAxSxjEBt63V
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
614Please respect copyright.PENANARCBZyEom5L
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!
614Please respect copyright.PENANAZtrEYXoBlD
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
614Please respect copyright.PENANA1DmMuJKB6D
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
614Please respect copyright.PENANAaIXcWWfwC7
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.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAHuLnqqfnK9
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
614Please respect copyright.PENANAMPOMWxuta0
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAC9rnWIPWHX
Goten: Aw.
614Please respect copyright.PENANA8JuyRXniR1
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAxcKa9OFqaY
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAxZgI9lWpv7
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?
614Please respect copyright.PENANAyLnGAJpKRw
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.
614Please respect copyright.PENANASCHd2t6onS
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
614Please respect copyright.PENANA68xtFMV5yF
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.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAQwoJJoDNiV
Goten: Right…
614Please respect copyright.PENANANJaj8dNJzi
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.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAhHCandmFF0
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
614Please respect copyright.PENANASbv0czX0lp
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.
614Please respect copyright.PENANA5XwqHe3NSk
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
614Please respect copyright.PENANAHXAEFd1mYV
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
614Please respect copyright.PENANA2jTyFyAigi
She said letting out a big sigh.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAIXJgxWONnk
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
614Please respect copyright.PENANA86raPVVr4t
Videl giggled.
614Please respect copyright.PENANA13yJPRRKwI
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
614Please respect copyright.PENANA9iDZ5RJGiq
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAJnka5CwCBn
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
614Please respect copyright.PENANArAiol06NQz
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
614Please respect copyright.PENANApuBearhJsD
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.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAEldyLI4yfO
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAGFXd5PdqUF
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
614Please respect copyright.PENANAsvfqrqpcUh
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.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAw5A8LsZhpb
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?
614Please respect copyright.PENANAwIgiTllrCh
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAzlcdWwSfP4
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
614Please respect copyright.PENANAAVi5rn2Azt
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.
614Please respect copyright.PENANA3w6XvKDm6E
Goku: Crap!
614Please respect copyright.PENANAUqaYmdwO5i
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAL4NYqXG1BJ
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
614Please respect copyright.PENANASHDnG6Of7l
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAxFBNdBxfzq
Goku: Everything is fine!
614Please respect copyright.PENANAk58EJsFOjy
He said in a panic.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAjWusuq6JXN
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
614Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZXE2PYHhp
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAvlWHVSuPOy
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
614Please respect copyright.PENANA7PulMdoY3T
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
614Please respect copyright.PENANA9feeWGfYaR
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.
614Please respect copyright.PENANABNmwxz49DB
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.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAIcA7lgIyvL
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.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5hfJHRVNF
Gohan: Dad!
614Please respect copyright.PENANAHqPN8uF02z
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAqznWpbfSNh
Goku: Huh?
614Please respect copyright.PENANAGzoKq1l3Sd
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
614Please respect copyright.PENANAH3wKAxEcQA
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.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAG2JWpKHhKD
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
614Please respect copyright.PENANA2Z3Vm56l7U
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
614Please respect copyright.PENANA4xDuyMrrOM
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
614Please respect copyright.PENANAPjqjLjO02a
Goku: I'm not sure.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAZPKaryssdw
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.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAmXjp9sLORv
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!
614Please respect copyright.PENANAN0JgH2CTbi
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
614Please respect copyright.PENANAwGAlDJstWZ
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
614Please respect copyright.PENANA7P1zSGKB68
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
