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!
387Please respect copyright.PENANA6XSeTgjzVH
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA0JQNwMIOjd
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAoqDUtlE718
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!
387Please respect copyright.PENANAlHWPMS110N
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
387Please respect copyright.PENANASGZIlW6Bdu
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
387Please respect copyright.PENANAAiUbh0KhG4
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.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA0RR3G6TczC
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
387Please respect copyright.PENANAbjp0Uakn0s
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAiSmjOW7YMY
Goten: Aw.
387Please respect copyright.PENANARzPdawfXiW
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAZGZoN7ucXx
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
387Please respect copyright.PENANArofjoIVuap
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?
387Please respect copyright.PENANAsBvy0T24HS
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.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAkiGPMsQhOr
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
387Please respect copyright.PENANAJrfbF2gL9q
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.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAAEdFa6vZd6
Goten: Right…
387Please respect copyright.PENANAxxZWP3qxSz
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.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAl4gNJHcU4Z
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
387Please respect copyright.PENANApjXQ2pWNPz
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.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAWh8Nfyd0NK
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
387Please respect copyright.PENANADv7ek0xFLW
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA13EXBuZnU1
She said letting out a big sigh.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAbkvpSDcw75
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAwuduQg6rQo
Videl giggled.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAmgyTBrjiZW
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAkjZpuAyhXe
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAbWN5TZ7ivl
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
387Please respect copyright.PENANADPM0nWqUpO
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
387Please respect copyright.PENANA8FlxqhLMSa
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.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAm9gnYEarJi
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA8sVQpGZ5zv
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
387Please respect copyright.PENANAQLyqtBZX90
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.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAnEovIM12S8
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?
387Please respect copyright.PENANAWtP38K9h9T
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
387Please respect copyright.PENANADcZTmBt3GV
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
387Please respect copyright.PENANALIAUw51iGe
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.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAsXbxN9HjBH
Goku: Crap!
387Please respect copyright.PENANAjS2A4aGoWF
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAFQxpVYzWMR
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
387Please respect copyright.PENANA8drIVxXjsj
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAOhjwikLDkq
Goku: Everything is fine!
387Please respect copyright.PENANAILCMwBaJto
He said in a panic.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA6dmW6VyAYw
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
387Please respect copyright.PENANAG3pyEnSwmP
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
387Please respect copyright.PENANApaeVImsmNz
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
387Please respect copyright.PENANAE3LXnetHXz
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
387Please respect copyright.PENANAj5gAMs2Xzk
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.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAZN2Yg8yM9o
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.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAaNPDtCjZlB
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.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA1rak1g9Nnb
Gohan: Dad!
387Please respect copyright.PENANAJXbyJGsmIU
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAETs3YYrn5i
Goku: Huh?
387Please respect copyright.PENANAaMV9u2o1tq
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
387Please respect copyright.PENANA4BQ3ZX1kVO
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.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA8A8neooAh1
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
387Please respect copyright.PENANArqQ6bvbU2m
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
387Please respect copyright.PENANA3YjEFfKQnl
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
387Please respect copyright.PENANAyBtg20ibjR
Goku: I'm not sure.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAv13aqqnUS6
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.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAk2v6oQSocN
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!
387Please respect copyright.PENANALpYQuSWCA6
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
387Please respect copyright.PENANAQFUyaXvht6
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!

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