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!
482Please respect copyright.PENANAcbL6QBYKB9
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
482Please respect copyright.PENANA6r5u9N8ggl
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAdJAiO5L5cJ
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!
482Please respect copyright.PENANAOep9SLYCCm
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAHmbEv4Hpwq
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
482Please respect copyright.PENANAPrUA25QghU
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.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAkIm31DvCpQ
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
482Please respect copyright.PENANABtTbo45VET
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
482Please respect copyright.PENANANEpKshesnF
Goten: Aw.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAa6KAS4tEn2
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAfN9z1A97sq
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAK60PrE66yh
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?
482Please respect copyright.PENANAiPvfOQ5MQC
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.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAASrN3tkSXr
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
482Please respect copyright.PENANAJvl1oA1hDT
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.
482Please respect copyright.PENANALlk7z5ZFWC
Goten: Right…
482Please respect copyright.PENANAhKCzf1dndx
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.
482Please respect copyright.PENANA27Fz4ptpJn
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
482Please respect copyright.PENANAMiENskZc9o
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.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAH2i2xrKZPA
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
482Please respect copyright.PENANAIPUDf8wUhG
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAyffPpW9vXO
She said letting out a big sigh.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAR0ABrqQRyX
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
482Please respect copyright.PENANA5EoaMmgv2C
Videl giggled.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAmyv9EpxzEt
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
482Please respect copyright.PENANANdvszS3JE2
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAmUqBuC5H9r
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
482Please respect copyright.PENANAyqkiKnUQp3
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
482Please respect copyright.PENANAvqbGoSxy7u
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.
482Please respect copyright.PENANA4B3VEHtqxC
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAUVQJlqPbun
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
482Please respect copyright.PENANAdQcfpFpK4B
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.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAH7zTUwdDRJ
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?
482Please respect copyright.PENANABVYb8MqKC6
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
482Please respect copyright.PENANA0XtIK4EyJN
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
482Please respect copyright.PENANAcRxj8vdpLU
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.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAjpkNjfPN1C
Goku: Crap!
482Please respect copyright.PENANAPLF5nL7jSB
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
482Please respect copyright.PENANA5nKsDZnacr
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
482Please respect copyright.PENANA760kCA4qb2
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
482Please respect copyright.PENANA2guJdCHijA
Goku: Everything is fine!
482Please respect copyright.PENANA97ZObXnSoe
He said in a panic.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAyBZykN6qnh
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
482Please respect copyright.PENANAGwP7LO85f5
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
482Please respect copyright.PENANA384wTumsDW
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
482Please respect copyright.PENANA8IxFmRm11k
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
482Please respect copyright.PENANAxh9DlzsHcH
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.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAgDFNOLGkPC
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.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAvPcMsp2fjf
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.
482Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZN5TxOoGS
Gohan: Dad!
482Please respect copyright.PENANAV5PYiCPf4g
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
482Please respect copyright.PENANArTWXkmETvN
Goku: Huh?
482Please respect copyright.PENANAMT9IdBzoN5
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
482Please respect copyright.PENANAFRrNmqE6xM
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.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAJ205s6gGau
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
482Please respect copyright.PENANADKR73y6ToH
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAclze6mxQvy
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
482Please respect copyright.PENANAUIxZtuPy52
Goku: I'm not sure.
482Please respect copyright.PENANASBLUxDCoWu
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.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAUpgArJrqV4
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!
482Please respect copyright.PENANAqktPItYrB9
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
482Please respect copyright.PENANAtXFIFQFZEg
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
482Please respect copyright.PENANAUI1BzkGwBX
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
