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!
405Please respect copyright.PENANAf3a2LbqnQ8
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAwCECD8eXE4
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAjtu2YUGibl
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!
405Please respect copyright.PENANAB6EWUtejMu
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAy6DeT0qlSV
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
405Please respect copyright.PENANAIcvJOC3vy0
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAUNUx1zW6E0
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
405Please respect copyright.PENANAOcZBJtTZNA
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAHv6Ybi2oIn
Goten: Aw.
405Please respect copyright.PENANArwTX0WW6KY
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAJH1vf5eBdS
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAFalmJ2KYYS
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?
405Please respect copyright.PENANAiKqilkcRrH
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAukoQMpzrs1
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
405Please respect copyright.PENANAWuwczXDI2S
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAU2Ln30uZex
Goten: Right…
405Please respect copyright.PENANA39qODiMEQS
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANADbAXTNd41Q
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
405Please respect copyright.PENANAguZYT9VFEf
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANApF4Uewdizw
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
405Please respect copyright.PENANAj6cMylw8qB
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA43HohUqHt3
She said letting out a big sigh.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA7YqS7LubAV
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAMGJ65FlRUZ
Videl giggled.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAioOuSrWW5a
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAXb4LwPUWhb
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAtcxLOUJd8n
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
405Please respect copyright.PENANAeBoOmVF7W1
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
405Please respect copyright.PENANArM9xdA8hUV
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAcc5Ahb5qEN
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAJapIpneGoc
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
405Please respect copyright.PENANAFEgzHRlz32
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANApOjvnSCNwT
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?
405Please respect copyright.PENANAtAiUin5PAG
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA8YAfqo5ZZ5
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
405Please respect copyright.PENANAD2edidHDAl
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAHZWvJkJVl0
Goku: Crap!
405Please respect copyright.PENANAsAERrGE5T0
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAEO3utmLWKd
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
405Please respect copyright.PENANARKvX2GRFeR
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
405Please respect copyright.PENANACBXIHXTnId
Goku: Everything is fine!
405Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xe7k2NXrd
He said in a panic.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAACqeevtRm6
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
405Please respect copyright.PENANAiMPMNWeuuS
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA2Hj22fgum0
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
405Please respect copyright.PENANAnef5Dgq2tx
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
405Please respect copyright.PENANAhadohS3FXV
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAWs7L50mQVC
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA1lf1S283ru
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAGRH0XQXiga
Gohan: Dad!
405Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5TXB43Jdb
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAMiwEYxkLbQ
Goku: Huh?
405Please respect copyright.PENANAy1StHVtm1S
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
405Please respect copyright.PENANAmlyPtHR8tk
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZPVepqYTn
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAyguxuVh2Jv
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAxGYCQSqj4G
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
405Please respect copyright.PENANA2TY0nFfZBw
Goku: I'm not sure.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAXg8CCNe2xU
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.
405Please respect copyright.PENANA4lpyNR5o5y
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!
405Please respect copyright.PENANAdO3NQtLr1V
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
405Please respect copyright.PENANAeNpDAtZq77
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!

Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
