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!
694Please respect copyright.PENANAwgJVvbItf0
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
694Please respect copyright.PENANADvzvwICMBP
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAiM6YmaMJEU
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!
694Please respect copyright.PENANAM6dy5bw8SM
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAm7x33Zy6bS
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
694Please respect copyright.PENANAZF3OiwQQ20
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.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAefUXbkIqd6
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
694Please respect copyright.PENANA5F7R7Oo0gD
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAZcK1EoHsri
Goten: Aw.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAdJnTPKJqKk
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAPzRCbJwiyH
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
694Please respect copyright.PENANA1pdIOzI24L
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?
694Please respect copyright.PENANAgpJ2FjqHca
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.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAbOJFiapjax
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
694Please respect copyright.PENANA535Y4mWt8f
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.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAEJkGKzji8K
Goten: Right…
694Please respect copyright.PENANAFCFatlWx1T
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.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAAT9tOykqBQ
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
694Please respect copyright.PENANAH4SXn0QWbo
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.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAdGktowAaXx
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
694Please respect copyright.PENANAM4V803CmbK
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
694Please respect copyright.PENANA4QIy7BGVhk
She said letting out a big sigh.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAa3OK9XX7oy
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAtahdSMzrA1
Videl giggled.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAjO9XCFa2jb
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAQWQfDRSIHS
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAmWGKjsNwAv
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
694Please respect copyright.PENANAXinq0HLOHy
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
694Please respect copyright.PENANAxRCzu5YVK9
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.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAV7W81m4H07
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAxWg7COPEVh
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
694Please respect copyright.PENANAvfOX2ZVjeS
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.
694Please respect copyright.PENANADLjtOh5Tyg
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?
694Please respect copyright.PENANAJBQsiJNP1z
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAM4JVJ7Q76c
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
694Please respect copyright.PENANACIo9f2tKHR
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.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAWuJSa0P7R0
Goku: Crap!
694Please respect copyright.PENANAbvVXKA44Ri
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAqC6c0EluEt
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
694Please respect copyright.PENANA6jSUfLD4op
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAkePrgd4ugx
Goku: Everything is fine!
694Please respect copyright.PENANAR9abJWqPqn
He said in a panic.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAOe7YJ8FIVp
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
694Please respect copyright.PENANA5BfIfNveRO
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAsRiOUdDpyM
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
694Please respect copyright.PENANAi7cUF8H8gg
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
694Please respect copyright.PENANAYqCASKzKxE
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.
694Please respect copyright.PENANArGsbFlmyLX
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.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAwBr5mDzgDs
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.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAdtAwGJnL7p
Gohan: Dad!
694Please respect copyright.PENANAOt11TbXQIQ
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAoF4po99XU1
Goku: Huh?
694Please respect copyright.PENANAKPDkyPI8QO
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
694Please respect copyright.PENANAvMlz3w9dKV
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.
694Please respect copyright.PENANA02USbYZvZt
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAYeRV2xt7Ph
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAQnlRaDVAlv
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
694Please respect copyright.PENANAo3eg6nt3cS
Goku: I'm not sure.
694Please respect copyright.PENANA1xJsVadODj
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.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAtuqNqEZCgV
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!
694Please respect copyright.PENANAOp6YgFStlU
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
694Please respect copyright.PENANA8mChH9FX4u
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
694Please respect copyright.PENANAYaLNJMcBTB
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
