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!
241Please respect copyright.PENANAE99f17OmBr
Goku snapped out of his trance and turned to his son.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAD5s5fmUXFm
Goku: Oh crap! Sorry little guy, I was just thinking about something.
241Please respect copyright.PENANASdqbBdGxwx
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!
241Please respect copyright.PENANAxBCaPuxUdN
Chi-chi: Goten's right, Goku. You are acting strange.
241Please respect copyright.PENANA6dJqNgM3Lq
Goku: Well I haven't had a proper fight or training session in so long. I guess I'm just itching for some action?
241Please respect copyright.PENANAXaUIpu8diG
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANACMqukLuhcu
Goten: Can I fight too mom!
241Please respect copyright.PENANARI0lM95np9
Chi-chi: The only thing you're fighting is those overdue assignments mister.
241Please respect copyright.PENANA2qEsGEbzZk
Goten: Aw.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAx0E9qv61m9
Goku: Cheer up Goten, you'll get to watch at least.
241Please respect copyright.PENANA9XJY7R9iSz
The Son family slept peacefully that night. All except for Goku. He wrestled with his thoughts as his doubts ate away at him.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAhXjD1PTynJ
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?
241Please respect copyright.PENANA41yytvm4hV
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAWSCwkJhMUB
Goku: Alright let's go, I'm all fired up!
241Please respect copyright.PENANAEy9f0lxNQ9
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAiSFihXusJp
Goten: Right…
241Please respect copyright.PENANAYMgCRJ01IL
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAz9Y1cEtgwo
Videl: Goku, Chi-chi, Goten, What brings you guys here on such short notice?
241Please respect copyright.PENANAdJGXTUWtub
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANANas19nnmVP
Videl: Saiyans, am I right?
241Please respect copyright.PENANALVa5YteKvD
Chi-chi: I'm sure even my Gohan puts you through similar situations like Goku does to me.
241Please respect copyright.PENANARIc1hJatyM
She said letting out a big sigh.
241Please respect copyright.PENANA7AdM0M1Tqo
Videl: It runs in their blood I guess.
241Please respect copyright.PENANATefBMOd33y
Videl giggled.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAfyOODefcrt
Videl: Anyways, make yourselves at home, Gohan is up stairs playing with Pan, they should come down any minute now.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAiWa6EOowyV
Right as Videl finished talking, Gohan came levitating down with Pan by his side.
241Please respect copyright.PENANASjOdOBzVKH
Gohan: Dad? What are you doing here?
241Please respect copyright.PENANAec9X6d30Gx
Goku: Your old man just wants a little thrill, how about we go at it for a bit Gohan?
241Please respect copyright.PENANArZonsduDgv
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAT4Omsf6jbW
Gohan descended from the air and held his daughter in his arms while walking towards his father. He handed Goku his granddaughter.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAHiTml044Jg
Goku: I haven't seen you in a minute, Pan. How have you been?
241Please respect copyright.PENANA0c7dWYBVn9
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANALeWnC2spur
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?
241Please respect copyright.PENANAeJlmMlwcnx
Goku thought to himself as he let go of Pan, allowing her to float.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAmIJdXAt0O5
Goku: Okay Pan, grandpa is gonna hit you with a powerful flick. Use your strength to block it got that?
241Please respect copyright.PENANAQWX0bWMt6d
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANApfNPV3ELIM
Goku: Crap!
241Please respect copyright.PENANAaofUHusMPH
Pan burst into tears, catching everyone's attention.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAwgf0WZmCjF
Gohan: Hey, is everything alright?
241Please respect copyright.PENANAb470L6yeK5
Goku hurried to his granddaughter and held her in an attempt to calm her down.
241Please respect copyright.PENANASaWquclJzA
Goku: Everything is fine!
241Please respect copyright.PENANA0sJCB57i1z
He said in a panic.
241Please respect copyright.PENANA9S5Bmel5Is
Goku: Now now, no more crying, okay?
241Please respect copyright.PENANAhUMaAzme2w
Goten peeked into the living room where Goku stood with Pan.
241Please respect copyright.PENANACTjdRbVYl6
Goten: Dad, mom told me to come get you, the food is ready!
241Please respect copyright.PENANAyBhffQdbmY
Goku: Oh right. I'll be right there..
241Please respect copyright.PENANAoHO3MN5Tn6
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAi8mhMuXPeh
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAlWpIRIwPXu
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAcMAY10u01r
Gohan: Dad!
241Please respect copyright.PENANA0cXudgHN7w
Goku broke out of his trance and faced his son.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAEyp8IuJnH7
Goku: Huh?
241Please respect copyright.PENANAYBnG09EReb
Gohan: Quit tapping your foot, dad, you're shaking the house!
241Please respect copyright.PENANAtGTXnD6KHK
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAov8DW3ERER
Goku: I'm sorry, Gohan, I-I don't know what got into me.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAnN4sbsa93n
Gohan: It's fine dad. Are you okay? You have been acting strange the entire time and have barely even touched your food.
241Please respect copyright.PENANArUokmQrO5t
Chi-chi: Yeah he's right Goku, you have been a little weird all this time. What's wrong?
241Please respect copyright.PENANALQR9sYlTzp
Goku: I'm not sure.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAiaPbpZXt4J
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.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAwIAgbH3NL2
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!
241Please respect copyright.PENANAPrtTbUsiiI
Goku stood with a less gloomy look on his face.
241Please respect copyright.PENANAGl6ce1JHGi
Goku: Hehe, now we're talking!
241Please respect copyright.PENANAi04EL5sHK9
Three space pods made their way to the planet inhabited by the tatsu race.
