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!
342Please respect copyright.PENANAoNZ0Hm05ru
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAFs5E5rPP5X
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAKgSdW4mKbu
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!
342Please respect copyright.PENANAUSI04EORZy
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAYNhD1cQHnV
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
342Please respect copyright.PENANAT0kJfvhVXr
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAkD7pN1KAiT
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
342Please respect copyright.PENANAvvylCXhcMM
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAEtAe2QaN09
Goten: Aw.
342Please respect copyright.PENANASCMprzUrTI
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
342Please respect copyright.PENANA5UhDUa0paT
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAyujJp8SwAe
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?
342Please respect copyright.PENANAZWR91O8vtS
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAWoQxg1BHWe
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
342Please respect copyright.PENANAflrIobORNV
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANACSGmyXI35o
Goten: Right…
342Please respect copyright.PENANA3aIJNEkWSR
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAtJWioJHjEA
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
342Please respect copyright.PENANAwnCiETWDRV
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANA682fDC6ZvO
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
342Please respect copyright.PENANAHPle18yQ1e
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAE7abxDUHtq
She said letting out a big sigh.
342Please respect copyright.PENANARpZbHMck7y
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAM7L4p9GlkB
Videl giggled.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAXtKKcjyj4h
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAOOwIlyoZhb
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAsjn5NuAanx
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
342Please respect copyright.PENANAhMWZmAgRLK
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
342Please respect copyright.PENANAycQzbzKOC4
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANA5KEGHItENC
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAn3ZC5lmhVV
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
342Please respect copyright.PENANA1IZEM2fOrK
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANA2nYd91U8y0
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?
342Please respect copyright.PENANAAToAfIoND8
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAq71dnUHBA4
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
342Please respect copyright.PENANALyjY6R7Hxr
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAxAFDW2BOnC
Goku: Crap!
342Please respect copyright.PENANApaZYVY40AN
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAR5WK9F2TFn
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
342Please respect copyright.PENANAFJnQpBprwR
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
342Please respect copyright.PENANApUqiblrU8v
Goku: Everything is fine!
342Please respect copyright.PENANAsFWAfr2IY8
He said in a panic.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAJyAstYbitQ
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
342Please respect copyright.PENANA8j9Z5jWuG3
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAOuL3wY9Pdl
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
342Please respect copyright.PENANAjDu9MN67yc
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
342Please respect copyright.PENANAKuP9PuNckW
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAdNxBWCtM2h
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAxvffyEmzsG
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANA6SKGbeNeXH
Gohan: Dad!
342Please respect copyright.PENANAWmPPTGNwMe
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAqbqsB5B7gq
Goku: Huh?
342Please respect copyright.PENANAxx0ae1u0sm
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
342Please respect copyright.PENANAq5Rm9E37ae
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANASiecAEd0IA
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAYvS1hXkumP
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAhr2r4yaEDi
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
342Please respect copyright.PENANALJj3XJLzfJ
Goku: I'm not sure.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAP078NJMcYc
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.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAWerX7ts29U
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!
342Please respect copyright.PENANAckGp7mRoFY
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
342Please respect copyright.PENANAVcfWV7KWbo
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
342Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ4u5uNrmY
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
