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!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAiGqHA5z165
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
161Please respect copyright.PENANADlNqtZdNSq
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAhxoYaxQY2p
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!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAQ86ADXQuvt
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA6uBNzjV7xD
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAJTzqLNspa2
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAg8XtlwbYgK
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
161Please respect copyright.PENANANq7K1ijlQz
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAq0T9r1F2tK
Goten: Aw.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAkaJYOy5hyj
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA4KwKkKUrz1
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
161Please respect copyright.PENANALqZMyLyHIW
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?
161Please respect copyright.PENANA1anqaaGVhL
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAXV0BTdVG1S
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAyqjMokO9n0
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA33XCRwHzhq
Goten: Right…
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUOniJz2VtW
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAsFW6EAAcyv
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAguaMHWOPmI
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAtJr6yXhKjJ
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAedlLtbzowh
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAz1Bn8WxIrV
She said letting out a big sigh.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAzKBQGGDo8k
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAnV3YSu0Aqu
Videl giggled.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA3EIG4RyxV9
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA8BnCMLeuE3
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA8OzB9u8IIM
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAFyKzb4mVdC
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
161Please respect copyright.PENANACWEjd86pJB
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAW5PUYHrmGv
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUYtz7g6DvR
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
161Please respect copyright.PENANACCHSxSwQJf
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA1oQnD4Ljtg
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?
161Please respect copyright.PENANABE5QiSt0NU
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAvFRDTFGIZe
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
161Please respect copyright.PENANA5dJmlURyzP
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANARXQcAxZOgb
Goku: Crap!
161Please respect copyright.PENANANhlBCiZ094
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
161Please respect copyright.PENANANE1f2iJlpV
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAJC3zDIakum
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAgoLJbW7BGi
Goku: Everything is fine!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAaTDBrccMVg
He said in a panic.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAbLxfl0TqxF
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAPq9wPdniID
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAudDJRdHoNp
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAPNxHz2Gd5x
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
161Please respect copyright.PENANAhphRtQ5PFw
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAXnP5nUMGPI
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAGUIc1Isrh8
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ5Gv5Aykk
Gohan: Dad!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAkn2UyqS5vV
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAjciJM8Tb7j
Goku: Huh?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAnzuWkf5OJ7
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAghQVMQsBuQ
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUhgUalXj7y
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAdQpN6tqEom
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAMYbyQE5WbQ
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
161Please respect copyright.PENANAtXszAbOdGo
Goku: I'm not sure.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA1arq5DByl7
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.
161Please respect copyright.PENANAaoKeWCCN38
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!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAUmnG8KFCnG
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
161Please respect copyright.PENANA11eaVxtc8H
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
161Please respect copyright.PENANAcvbO6Gx5nb
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
