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!
149Please respect copyright.PENANAEDb1J8025E
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ6iHEjOAJ
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAXs0lcEWzji
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!
149Please respect copyright.PENANAeJQalvmEzj
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAYo3ZlNuh2g
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
149Please respect copyright.PENANAhhBhKK2UAY
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.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAh43jLWs9HG
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
149Please respect copyright.PENANAzhidil5XZ9
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAN5XxXbnXqm
Goten: Aw.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAg2nKb0pLq1
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAleTX5zd5Ol
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAFMvzWb3kOp
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?
149Please respect copyright.PENANAtsLAei8ctp
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.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAm11LfSw50L
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
149Please respect copyright.PENANA3PVfZSupmk
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.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAJnyqRShVa1
Goten: Right…
149Please respect copyright.PENANAsQFS8q1qaa
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.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAhFg57puTKT
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
149Please respect copyright.PENANAMRmbjSokqc
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.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAW5QgnmQb5Y
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
149Please respect copyright.PENANA6R9d9TPwxJ
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
149Please respect copyright.PENANACtZTM6pmWP
She said letting out a big sigh.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAprmp8dr0Gs
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAs2RYgGhpuI
Videl giggled.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAaNDbXrK6wW
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAZDlpM9ViuB
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAmT42jUahNJ
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
149Please respect copyright.PENANAUoKXGNVukj
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
149Please respect copyright.PENANAKfU9JkD7sI
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.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAH7s6CI5k7i
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAHEewgyk93H
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
149Please respect copyright.PENANA2SvLyBVimi
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.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAl3IGEZj6XA
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?
149Please respect copyright.PENANAMMmJdXbfLk
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAW3svX4NfoX
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
149Please respect copyright.PENANAJP37wxn0yv
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.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAiYcPkeBQLO
Goku: Crap!
149Please respect copyright.PENANAbOkSGBWHsM
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
149Please respect copyright.PENANASfXn6KrhFw
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
149Please respect copyright.PENANAlugNHeOGNH
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAyjZqODgeqG
Goku: Everything is fine!
149Please respect copyright.PENANAXQbAralyZo
He said in a panic.
149Please respect copyright.PENANApsdRtji62w
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
149Please respect copyright.PENANAZKtyg53IhW
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAauaqWXVY52
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
149Please respect copyright.PENANAbLuNKs3B0k
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
149Please respect copyright.PENANAWzApJmht18
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.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAFiYKrIuxAI
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.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAvxwVRvZgIi
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.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAt0LuM3GICz
Gohan: Dad!
149Please respect copyright.PENANAU09aQxyK7W
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAhCUSmcDBfB
Goku: Huh?
149Please respect copyright.PENANAKymzwRi4E6
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
149Please respect copyright.PENANAa16ENE11ZE
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.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAdsm8zB5DSD
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAeRgatKV8fH
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAFcI5yqAJo4
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
149Please respect copyright.PENANA9SEb9xT1AY
Goku: I'm not sure.
149Please respect copyright.PENANATfllDfIFaB
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.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAAvVxTVcgR3
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!
149Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0yzgkdwed
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
149Please respect copyright.PENANA4VXUALhP2S
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
149Please respect copyright.PENANAs48wGokw5U
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
