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!
586Please respect copyright.PENANAmvhTvUAFTR
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAwiqYGDdMl9
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAveKesj1knY
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!
586Please respect copyright.PENANASpZqDOPw5l
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAMd8sibL9Qc
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
586Please respect copyright.PENANAYAKg7B0huC
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.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAFSoLMhyCfZ
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
586Please respect copyright.PENANAoSe2ulSCe9
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAeDlROqThMh
Goten: Aw.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAUZkDtEUewH
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAjy6jlR2p2p
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
586Please respect copyright.PENANA6wwB1WrEHU
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?
586Please respect copyright.PENANAFOnW5rNdUB
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.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAayUlNOvWQU
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
586Please respect copyright.PENANAnuIaVIq526
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.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAIcwTW9Zyqj
Goten: Right…
586Please respect copyright.PENANARyLQB6FtUh
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.
586Please respect copyright.PENANA939nuxE4d8
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
586Please respect copyright.PENANAkowmrDBw3I
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.
586Please respect copyright.PENANApeVfQJE2IO
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
586Please respect copyright.PENANAy9T3TF9gwT
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
586Please respect copyright.PENANA3xubvTjOuS
She said letting out a big sigh.
586Please respect copyright.PENANADPOePJ9Yc6
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAic6BUGKTli
Videl giggled.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAEJx9eyHT1x
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAI4YlWtdSpc
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
586Please respect copyright.PENANARHTn9opcdP
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
586Please respect copyright.PENANAI0iytCXLj0
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
586Please respect copyright.PENANAo0r4jDJWuC
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.
586Please respect copyright.PENANA2815Ctyina
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAWU463vGdmg
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
586Please respect copyright.PENANA61ADHxYy7q
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.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAzFkUuaDXlP
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?
586Please respect copyright.PENANAXqvE6e6Hih
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
586Please respect copyright.PENANADfRC7fO2qx
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
586Please respect copyright.PENANA70jLucyQEK
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.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAoEgvnDmjm6
Goku: Crap!
586Please respect copyright.PENANAsZbK64Yl9l
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
586Please respect copyright.PENANA4Qt23y56jL
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
586Please respect copyright.PENANAMiimFSHez4
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAnELMY04DML
Goku: Everything is fine!
586Please respect copyright.PENANAHFjwUUiEN2
He said in a panic.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAnhLdBQf1TY
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
586Please respect copyright.PENANAeDIVHH0Q09
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAF9J5xq2LC2
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
586Please respect copyright.PENANAdx84B6LTP0
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
586Please respect copyright.PENANAYyPZIIuAzx
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.
586Please respect copyright.PENANA8hc3cHJQaa
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.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAC8R8oBIjdj
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.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAN8xqfuRMnn
Gohan: Dad!
586Please respect copyright.PENANAlQ5m0rZ01z
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAJuzuPY63GM
Goku: Huh?
586Please respect copyright.PENANAGWvrD7lY52
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
586Please respect copyright.PENANAnSTgFObuJr
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.
586Please respect copyright.PENANA0JbOxb8TCS
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAZEsqFXbEkL
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
586Please respect copyright.PENANA1TsQa1Ujro
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
586Please respect copyright.PENANAieirhquOEL
Goku: I'm not sure.
586Please respect copyright.PENANASAeI8g23jg
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.
586Please respect copyright.PENANAwisFjoeDzk
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!
586Please respect copyright.PENANAyj8Px2mesg
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
586Please respect copyright.PENANA8dLhxt9WYQ
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
586Please respect copyright.PENANAkQyU2KWjs2
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
