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!
675Please respect copyright.PENANAMfRTptboGf
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAmk0qbiZhK5
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAdQM0Fzih4X
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!
675Please respect copyright.PENANA14xhPdQ4tJ
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
675Please respect copyright.PENANA7Bty6pyzWC
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
675Please respect copyright.PENANAGYQ1mH478t
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.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAtuOOKkpzpg
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
675Please respect copyright.PENANAd6RAuSdk9j
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAqYdX1xWFyT
Goten: Aw.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAqtN4DGv9UG
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
675Please respect copyright.PENANABBq0YrEf7M
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
675Please respect copyright.PENANALsFLYBDxj2
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?
675Please respect copyright.PENANAiK8sHe8rRu
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.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAaQrz3bb6ir
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
675Please respect copyright.PENANAwCYCWtUnYH
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.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAL2o9sraufy
Goten: Right…
675Please respect copyright.PENANApAt1WYAdDc
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.
675Please respect copyright.PENANARMuvGHKVi2
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
675Please respect copyright.PENANA8EzPjHHijO
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.
675Please respect copyright.PENANA0AOZJSCvDe
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
675Please respect copyright.PENANAQYXdAqfMj0
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAkOVtzqIU0s
She said letting out a big sigh.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAbpIW7Fk2Fn
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
675Please respect copyright.PENANABHmuwdrt6F
Videl giggled.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAPXeYXpi03D
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAlDwFO2plR5
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAVwnPupCvNh
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
675Please respect copyright.PENANANGtP2TBrv2
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
675Please respect copyright.PENANAsWT5XybFkZ
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.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAbTReZO76Wb
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
675Please respect copyright.PENANArFcjzWQCd3
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
675Please respect copyright.PENANA2cDmlnnvb2
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.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAFxhd9Y4D9o
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?
675Please respect copyright.PENANAmUE6fZV9U0
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAQoS1dlsDmp
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
675Please respect copyright.PENANA6eDXgI8mRV
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.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAiBNaRV13xt
Goku: Crap!
675Please respect copyright.PENANAB00PKEATAU
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAomUsNniOTp
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
675Please respect copyright.PENANAYAXF6DkqU8
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAVmXNyRpT4F
Goku: Everything is fine!
675Please respect copyright.PENANAnWGikFfMnu
He said in a panic.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAQcOfj7RgOI
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
675Please respect copyright.PENANA8A29ittTtc
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAn4Dwz2NJwx
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
675Please respect copyright.PENANASFuph9xjDI
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
675Please respect copyright.PENANAGAS74BHyHZ
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.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAB5eENL3rh6
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.
675Please respect copyright.PENANASOsZzWg7LT
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.
675Please respect copyright.PENANA32ZfhDVriE
Gohan: Dad!
675Please respect copyright.PENANAyvV3S5Tu5O
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
675Please respect copyright.PENANA05Apqs01Ob
Goku: Huh?
675Please respect copyright.PENANAGpz61hjyk0
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
675Please respect copyright.PENANAXcVfZNCggr
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.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAdERokTJ1x5
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAdCHMMWpjeG
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAmhtYNlRoFQ
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
675Please respect copyright.PENANAZdCWIlzNUQ
Goku: I'm not sure.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAF4FGS15jiJ
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.
675Please respect copyright.PENANAnaPQU7LopN
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!
675Please respect copyright.PENANAkmqPXhEpWq
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
675Please respect copyright.PENANA64qbRRMwiG
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!

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