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!
340Please respect copyright.PENANAJL7TbXg9Vx
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAL5D98xl257
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAAM7BN1lRqm
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!
340Please respect copyright.PENANAOefmUOTjrk
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
340Please respect copyright.PENANALFxilv871H
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
340Please respect copyright.PENANAv3L18oNDwY
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.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAeB04DCIHMN
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
340Please respect copyright.PENANAxTpn58hcZz
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAVlbUnZALNO
Goten: Aw.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAFeglWeIiWg
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAgDjd71zq6U
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
340Please respect copyright.PENANA8me19y9Tc3
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?
340Please respect copyright.PENANAQMU2Lev9iO
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.
340Please respect copyright.PENANASxTI9qdEVS
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
340Please respect copyright.PENANAsmnEAStRCy
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.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAIK1HJRQT4g
Goten: Right…
340Please respect copyright.PENANAPGTjycSZpp
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.
340Please respect copyright.PENANArgdki7tyvp
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
340Please respect copyright.PENANA0woKSRtwkC
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.
340Please respect copyright.PENANA1BEsYHpxAo
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
340Please respect copyright.PENANAQNxTOiEWPi
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAKTO2ESnxfR
She said letting out a big sigh.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAxdfuDN5yyK
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAJXa83TAtc1
Videl giggled.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAtkZxvNxEBi
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAp9GmVFjLti
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
340Please respect copyright.PENANA9yGExePZGp
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
340Please respect copyright.PENANA4NAb6GACSE
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
340Please respect copyright.PENANA0ULFubvrVX
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.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAZLmJ5MvPwC
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
340Please respect copyright.PENANASUPGFR6vBp
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
340Please respect copyright.PENANALaz4uKYnsn
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.
340Please respect copyright.PENANATj8uE1Rzoo
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?
340Please respect copyright.PENANASN3tqfMEBA
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ2A22rykE
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
340Please respect copyright.PENANAdozEnVMhuM
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.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAAiPAhKisGo
Goku: Crap!
340Please respect copyright.PENANAugY6fXMGYr
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAWYdvPAYT6Y
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
340Please respect copyright.PENANAi6IOASjJbJ
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAbwgWZHs6no
Goku: Everything is fine!
340Please respect copyright.PENANAEWIpSFZvTq
He said in a panic.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAz7NlGInsDG
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
340Please respect copyright.PENANA0jDmPOdr3M
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
340Please respect copyright.PENANA4UlGRgcoQX
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
340Please respect copyright.PENANAuBujwnyZNA
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
340Please respect copyright.PENANAaxiqCmAWQQ
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.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAwHhPc0uesx
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.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAjjp2PiYVzH
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.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAnsMTWp0QEN
Gohan: Dad!
340Please respect copyright.PENANAidyBLY05cr
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAtjfxzQKuD6
Goku: Huh?
340Please respect copyright.PENANAGtOBGebaK9
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
340Please respect copyright.PENANAr50ZuFZLKg
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.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAJ54ZJOIFO9
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
340Please respect copyright.PENANA1ukKJZSt9u
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
340Please respect copyright.PENANATDzAINaDcA
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
340Please respect copyright.PENANAKkYkbaD3ar
Goku: I'm not sure.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAOaOBskrmND
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.
340Please respect copyright.PENANA42RyPu6eL3
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!
340Please respect copyright.PENANAMVnmrBtD16
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
340Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ8WogJnVp
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
340Please respect copyright.PENANAee9DOOGaJF
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
