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!
157Please respect copyright.PENANAnMB6Qmd5qx
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAKbXhoFtpgm
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
157Please respect copyright.PENANABcz2UuHwIA
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!
157Please respect copyright.PENANAkcQPRnlQwY
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAILSNg5uK50
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
157Please respect copyright.PENANALEu0hCDf8c
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAXhbLfGMqGT
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
157Please respect copyright.PENANAsScU3HXpXz
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAMeWr4UK1VV
Goten: Aw.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAfPZuqdFjEY
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAvIukihJUVP
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAoVzzZgJ9YU
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?
157Please respect copyright.PENANA7jPLhhiK2i
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAbThvgZiEVu
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
157Please respect copyright.PENANAXPNXm4ktbS
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAIBssbE9GjE
Goten: Right…
157Please respect copyright.PENANAz2VZSCFV1Q
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAMacMZzLPBD
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
157Please respect copyright.PENANAGVPx2BQXRF
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANApZr4TWEui5
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
157Please respect copyright.PENANA3WKG6KVnvS
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAcYJCBCt25P
She said letting out a big sigh.
157Please respect copyright.PENANA8bY2YSeGcW
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAtTQGdbvLqZ
Videl giggled.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAyQq0tcO4ah
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAUHgPfS3xfk
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAIU5HQyfHVf
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
157Please respect copyright.PENANAE9YImYn6sl
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
157Please respect copyright.PENANAMlXxyQ3noK
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAf7hguKwqqP
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
157Please respect copyright.PENANASpul2Ut2lW
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
157Please respect copyright.PENANAIlGqq2wuO0
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANA2lC6IJaJTF
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?
157Please respect copyright.PENANA227v7mSuRp
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAMtnhbWiXrA
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
157Please respect copyright.PENANAjvu9YsDMOt
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANA0jvecr6pZO
Goku: Crap!
157Please respect copyright.PENANA9y9Owg1sES
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAjd0gzlZXOa
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
157Please respect copyright.PENANAhFQZTkXX7f
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAXsndZf6R9K
Goku: Everything is fine!
157Please respect copyright.PENANAeIe8j9JJlR
He said in a panic.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAceSkMzl0a1
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
157Please respect copyright.PENANAsnH9EbnsdI
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAfNTFlXIqp4
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
157Please respect copyright.PENANAKBpL2OamtM
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
157Please respect copyright.PENANAcSwJwWvUi6
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAjAB15zoVwf
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAChrt39CSFz
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAf2KycZUgym
Gohan: Dad!
157Please respect copyright.PENANA6cbn1n0ZdU
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAO5lnOmUuQ6
Goku: Huh?
157Please respect copyright.PENANAi4Erg46eW9
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
157Please respect copyright.PENANAmz6LHXNC7K
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAPcDnAo4ZD8
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAv1NRNy1tfi
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
157Please respect copyright.PENANA4AdcW53HlI
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
157Please respect copyright.PENANACvIgpD1bWZ
Goku: I'm not sure.
157Please respect copyright.PENANALDNcwq4HUB
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAaIyOkTaMhr
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!
157Please respect copyright.PENANAc7RWGcRo2i
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAHRKspaVvQ8
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
157Please respect copyright.PENANAnIx4VjUFec
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
