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!
638Please respect copyright.PENANASUTQoxCACX
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA75jdlNqGdx
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAXNQLJmVNc1
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!
638Please respect copyright.PENANAwC2ONVURtK
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAx8tjs2LiQQ
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
638Please respect copyright.PENANAuOb20RnXx2
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAP1ug70EMBT
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
638Please respect copyright.PENANAhmcfTdcKPH
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAahmTYb7LID
Goten: Aw.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAl7uaGQp100
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAJXiSSZfkY9
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAkBdNXwlvsL
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?
638Please respect copyright.PENANAvvBjaMY9aI
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANArdA4qi7yQc
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
638Please respect copyright.PENANAtYcGNmlYlk
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAjZwVOp42Fw
Goten: Right…
638Please respect copyright.PENANAPSB72dvPHk
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAgBC48mEzyH
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
638Please respect copyright.PENANAJvfad2BRYQ
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAHHgeqQbxBI
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
638Please respect copyright.PENANAa2A1P1HSEU
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAa3VlJvduUH
She said letting out a big sigh.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAMvl4LxSMtA
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAfUpY4kEusv
Videl giggled.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAsZBHGMLGmL
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAs6wHnv4xdQ
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAKWZwTpQoSk
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
638Please respect copyright.PENANAJtHpa4qZ8p
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
638Please respect copyright.PENANAD3ulbLQxxi
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANADScl0T1mNe
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
638Please respect copyright.PENANANBfcBMwjuH
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
638Please respect copyright.PENANAZzwMU9Ehq0
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAdZvgBY6RCx
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?
638Please respect copyright.PENANA7Lm5YfL6YN
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAwut9OGjPPo
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
638Please respect copyright.PENANACXGrIDK4YP
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAZFfafbJoyE
Goku: Crap!
638Please respect copyright.PENANAz1w7bTOygI
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
638Please respect copyright.PENANARW51hv7Gij
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
638Please respect copyright.PENANA6NeUr55BxL
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAMceXcbJgwc
Goku: Everything is fine!
638Please respect copyright.PENANAft42JfMob1
He said in a panic.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAzP5hsPfz0x
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
638Please respect copyright.PENANAaT4G08kabZ
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA67WVjhuGnL
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
638Please respect copyright.PENANAb5MfE293IZ
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
638Please respect copyright.PENANAQp3VzI373v
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA6q1YjKRDMz
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAdcJLQYlfaq
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA1yarR3ca9L
Gohan: Dad!
638Please respect copyright.PENANADlWm4eUkpk
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAvMBPZhvrh6
Goku: Huh?
638Please respect copyright.PENANAY7GLsciCpv
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
638Please respect copyright.PENANATXZoNhZcEA
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAFX3eDFStCJ
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
638Please respect copyright.PENANATmw8w0frNG
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAtHeiYuqFtZ
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
638Please respect copyright.PENANAmXOlX73Vtr
Goku: I'm not sure.
638Please respect copyright.PENANAlnd2ClmGDp
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.
638Please respect copyright.PENANADml5Ft2czu
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!
638Please respect copyright.PENANAeYAuiRY9hE
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
638Please respect copyright.PENANA0o3IyK2Oa6
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!

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