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!
493Please respect copyright.PENANAXeHkhDvEQk
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAcJ7zT8D97d
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAGUFFNl1MQL
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!
493Please respect copyright.PENANAzYcYql6Q01
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAw03YWNFZVv
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
493Please respect copyright.PENANAIOCBwIDjRZ
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAdDLWjQYsbX
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
493Please respect copyright.PENANAnObKDJqofg
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAHHw0Cmss41
Goten: Aw.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAwwg40vfRnh
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAOfrgqCDbTt
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
493Please respect copyright.PENANApZosjk6PwV
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?
493Please respect copyright.PENANAtvTEQHGKcE
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA5L9hJcVUPG
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
493Please respect copyright.PENANA30rMzQ5Zi0
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAAm5gcsRXWd
Goten: Right…
493Please respect copyright.PENANAGiRuUOwI9u
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAzqssSIxhFl
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
493Please respect copyright.PENANAsxY57Mhivw
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAchxMKO8xQT
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
493Please respect copyright.PENANAE7zHgz6Iri
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAdnl0JSzgp0
She said letting out a big sigh.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA2TJDPlmGI6
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAMVDPE5yDG6
Videl giggled.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAj0vsCesUDs
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA1AH6RhrK9d
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAFH2cqvKT2t
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
493Please respect copyright.PENANAx84UjcAc55
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
493Please respect copyright.PENANABv6kLKv9Ry
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAkmeiHUmSZ3
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA8M6ANtObIZ
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
493Please respect copyright.PENANALpBAuvg3Cl
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAMUFEvatY9O
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?
493Please respect copyright.PENANAnlRJrit3gD
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
493Please respect copyright.PENANARZeokXlPBk
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
493Please respect copyright.PENANAhG16okL1OR
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA7WswJEbZ8u
Goku: Crap!
493Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZT5XSThk1
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAniogMdWzq0
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
493Please respect copyright.PENANAYNUQLcC76n
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA78ElBV5XRG
Goku: Everything is fine!
493Please respect copyright.PENANA7rhaWy1hk1
He said in a panic.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAwTU4JfpmPp
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
493Please respect copyright.PENANA77PWTAwtPA
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAecyb0VmTPy
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
493Please respect copyright.PENANAzKK02i0MlK
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
493Please respect copyright.PENANAFRXRHP4O17
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAWxOqLcf6IG
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAhy6UQdp3VE
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAp9TyT4tQU1
Gohan: Dad!
493Please respect copyright.PENANAkaIUCgP7f1
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAlC1AYYkgZo
Goku: Huh?
493Please respect copyright.PENANAQqZvWQiEP0
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
493Please respect copyright.PENANAV9xgs07RlB
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAz9aI7aqpDf
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAkuYTHfBr7z
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA0WXLFhdvPf
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
493Please respect copyright.PENANAveEVOL3wMQ
Goku: I'm not sure.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAWOhAzfDd4q
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.
493Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZdbNV4kig
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!
493Please respect copyright.PENANAvkqMaluID6
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
493Please respect copyright.PENANAJYZa3tkqK5
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
493Please respect copyright.PENANAuH6kKpjGnP
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
