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!
683Please respect copyright.PENANAoYh3en7vBu
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAvGMokGCmoB
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
683Please respect copyright.PENANA0uGGGRyf84
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!
683Please respect copyright.PENANAHWG3X9eYaO
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
683Please respect copyright.PENANA1d2bf5h11V
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
683Please respect copyright.PENANAoggWg70jkN
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.
683Please respect copyright.PENANA7EeLE0GbkI
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
683Please respect copyright.PENANAVi0BChyumI
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
683Please respect copyright.PENANA9ciKfsZ2t8
Goten: Aw.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAj0N8uGghHC
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAVEzADroh9p
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAFT9yiNrphX
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?
683Please respect copyright.PENANAlAeIBsqmeX
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.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAnTsuzO8FlU
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
683Please respect copyright.PENANAZCvnZ4b23Q
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.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAtK2czVgTcs
Goten: Right…
683Please respect copyright.PENANAWwJ29h3J97
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.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAu1iKMRFJsM
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
683Please respect copyright.PENANAbs5OFyWXJp
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.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAE0rru5CXXE
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
683Please respect copyright.PENANA2wA5CkjdKl
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAlm5UjNtqrb
She said letting out a big sigh.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAbcxzvzxmzn
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
683Please respect copyright.PENANA38gL5OLalM
Videl giggled.
683Please respect copyright.PENANATenisdcaVa
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAHMK7ekLaOz
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAW0fdkSVn74
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
683Please respect copyright.PENANAmpHhflA9yn
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
683Please respect copyright.PENANA8fXmp3BinF
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.
683Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZTGTo3Gpx
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
683Please respect copyright.PENANA0MpNc6zWyC
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
683Please respect copyright.PENANAHgN72MZzcU
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.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAPm3gCcCayz
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?
683Please respect copyright.PENANASJpoFSQ1Kk
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAtR3cKloQfy
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
683Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8ANOs84J0
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.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAbyDxn57Mdw
Goku: Crap!
683Please respect copyright.PENANAAzMjiasdRD
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAUvt7iWsCVA
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
683Please respect copyright.PENANACbw9Wso80q
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAZV1Ypft6Uo
Goku: Everything is fine!
683Please respect copyright.PENANAIUQAPHd7Xv
He said in a panic.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAY9Qt7fHwCu
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
683Please respect copyright.PENANAsx6bGlBnI2
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAjGKiyoL46Q
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
683Please respect copyright.PENANAYJFm4YlCK7
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
683Please respect copyright.PENANAiSAZ7hLHh4
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.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAi6vdAiG2k3
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.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAHEifUl95Yx
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.
683Please respect copyright.PENANA8YEXFowBcH
Gohan: Dad!
683Please respect copyright.PENANAuR9J3fUVEJ
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAqgxrARkMkD
Goku: Huh?
683Please respect copyright.PENANAi9Lp9VRjIE
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
683Please respect copyright.PENANAm5MyzaVUHs
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.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAk613yHwlZa
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
683Please respect copyright.PENANA1T5NiYhMWT
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAhyz4r3JhnY
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
683Please respect copyright.PENANAwWh7OdNHqF
Goku: I'm not sure.
683Please respect copyright.PENANA8EFyACRlOt
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.
683Please respect copyright.PENANA4FME9cc9dS
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!
683Please respect copyright.PENANAuwo5rt9BBT
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
683Please respect copyright.PENANAm9u99xjxrx
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
683Please respect copyright.PENANA7KWEFQzSTt
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
