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!
635Please respect copyright.PENANA0iHHc5KMhA
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA5XWroTr6SH
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAqbo8cCuZ1K
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!
635Please respect copyright.PENANAXxRMTIa3Cs
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA7FCDUcJB9p
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
635Please respect copyright.PENANAmqTgRP99gO
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAtf8s8Q1Bkg
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
635Please respect copyright.PENANAtrkKKx6cQw
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAhUFHS0ALO3
Goten: Aw.
635Please respect copyright.PENANATy6dw2NiXf
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAPu2IRQYrwq
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAvSeh6p4QMS
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?
635Please respect copyright.PENANAtVN9QIR35U
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAe9OtwytUOh
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
635Please respect copyright.PENANAaKWzJ6IgoO
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA0zHHWU6Wtq
Goten: Right…
635Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ea2NrnzMt
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAbm4zBnN1Rv
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
635Please respect copyright.PENANAtIyebBns9q
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAOSMUq2hZCw
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
635Please respect copyright.PENANAqCZHbt5rb1
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAGCI49njMjI
She said letting out a big sigh.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA64Z0cDEnMK
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAvs4OQQF37J
Videl giggled.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAP00cBUBoiM
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAgtyAd23HzY
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAP24BWC9nzj
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
635Please respect copyright.PENANAApoW1TbpnP
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
635Please respect copyright.PENANAW6QJeDJC1Y
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANArT6rjvuv53
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAGkgt4Qnn8v
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
635Please respect copyright.PENANAeIa7yS8j2p
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAS9Uk8Efl5s
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?
635Please respect copyright.PENANAc02txjATeK
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAdwaLFXk7kt
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
635Please respect copyright.PENANAZtGcyuQ16K
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAfiIqjNn1op
Goku: Crap!
635Please respect copyright.PENANAl1fg5xflP3
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAxxRhHtzsCN
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
635Please respect copyright.PENANA2E47pVhrCW
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAF3AEHAL4du
Goku: Everything is fine!
635Please respect copyright.PENANAYghiLyuV6t
He said in a panic.
635Please respect copyright.PENANA7XXRKwPi2I
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
635Please respect copyright.PENANAoP4TQUHvag
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAL9vt7wY1rL
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
635Please respect copyright.PENANAL8Jg1BZbHT
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
635Please respect copyright.PENANAbPQV429AL0
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAtf3qxqX3Fz
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAWTg0FV3Oyb
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAxVWI1TuKJZ
Gohan: Dad!
635Please respect copyright.PENANA6JW4ZJZwkQ
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAV2Cxa4z4bv
Goku: Huh?
635Please respect copyright.PENANAem0XMTSQbN
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
635Please respect copyright.PENANAXaVzro537t
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAe84TZrlukq
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAicioDmsz2U
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAj5m9BzxQxC
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
635Please respect copyright.PENANARSfgWdOnBe
Goku: I'm not sure.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAXtj3jMN4Sd
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.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAeKSnEC8zZt
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!
635Please respect copyright.PENANAMrBN3BsuMF
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
635Please respect copyright.PENANAauyp6ETB1Z
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!

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