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!
519Please respect copyright.PENANAry6MM8DiC6
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAvIelev6OxU
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAwf0VQ6xrj8
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!
519Please respect copyright.PENANAn0LMtyeudL
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAxd288KPdVe
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
519Please respect copyright.PENANAhIVNLdMRSz
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.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAFQoOBDu4J1
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
519Please respect copyright.PENANAdGESx7ttfJ
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
519Please respect copyright.PENANA1GimgQhIrX
Goten: Aw.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAzq7URAMcFL
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAwgoJrOh6gV
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAr10LuZBzyD
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?
519Please respect copyright.PENANA39zSthkqpT
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.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAeenPxE79nZ
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
519Please respect copyright.PENANAzVKBnh92jr
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.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAqNUQD8Jwf5
Goten: Right…
519Please respect copyright.PENANAKdLewT6gF5
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.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAFnbEjs9PHC
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
519Please respect copyright.PENANAHeb08P9w1p
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.
519Please respect copyright.PENANA67BP3YqZeb
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
519Please respect copyright.PENANA8w3OtdvJ6G
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAloqUqUJUW4
She said letting out a big sigh.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAFPTkcrUc7l
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAWZnCvLYB8S
Videl giggled.
519Please respect copyright.PENANA25VijqMOZk
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAuVTngYf6Cf
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAYvGHp4zl6W
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
519Please respect copyright.PENANAR6YcekEwbQ
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
519Please respect copyright.PENANAYlqL5ihDEh
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.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAx531iB97VG
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAgR55qUav9d
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
519Please respect copyright.PENANA0AsXjafZHr
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.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAu0RuE39k6f
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?
519Please respect copyright.PENANA1p9bdyNHoC
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAx1G3En3hC9
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
519Please respect copyright.PENANAbNsGo5RDKO
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.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAjrk5875hr7
Goku: Crap!
519Please respect copyright.PENANAnWVLmrGTtd
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAfz6MHj1poy
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
519Please respect copyright.PENANAGNPRMxbFyB
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAIP12cZTsTx
Goku: Everything is fine!
519Please respect copyright.PENANAVPnGXjN4Lt
He said in a panic.
519Please respect copyright.PENANA3G8E3JSrU5
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
519Please respect copyright.PENANAxH2q2k3Pzl
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAmIhsJ5UGus
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
519Please respect copyright.PENANAT83yL2idqj
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
519Please respect copyright.PENANAEjcBo1ZaLP
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.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAGqsBCDfPyx
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.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAYIOrnZ8dmX
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.
519Please respect copyright.PENANApMf7e8UbY3
Gohan: Dad!
519Please respect copyright.PENANAr4r7kKB3lq
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
519Please respect copyright.PENANA1P3fpm82re
Goku: Huh?
519Please respect copyright.PENANA8qeJHrhkO9
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
519Please respect copyright.PENANA36eTGXXbJB
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.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAzSrEoQq4PD
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAVPjjGDseiq
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
519Please respect copyright.PENANA3oyljLaTWR
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
519Please respect copyright.PENANAhOjbDisBac
Goku: I'm not sure.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAcHCc28OWga
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.
519Please respect copyright.PENANAmWGpEOaWuT
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!
519Please respect copyright.PENANAJDGxdHVSQ3
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
519Please respect copyright.PENANANYl9WEX2Dh
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
519Please respect copyright.PENANAcktID9dAiC
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
