She saw the ball Shin said held Buu in it smoking; signalling they were too late to stop him being resurrected. Instead she pointed her fingers and hit Dabura in the chest with her blast, separating her hands and spreading her fingers blowing him up from the inside out. She knew she probably couldn't stop Buu being resurrected now but she could at least save Krillin's life. Sadly she was unable to charge up another blast for Babidi, it wouldn't of taken as much effort; Shin advised her not to. They needed him alive, as he was the only one whom could put Buu back in his shell, apparently.
With her power capped and unable to access her Super Saiyan for whatever reason, that wouldn't stop her from trying to stop him, since her father was entertaining Vegeta's ego. It was up to her. Babidi was off to the side squealing in excitement he didn't even care that Dabura was killed. He apparently only cared that his monster was almost ready. As an after thought he transported them all outside the ship.
Gohan was able to register Krillin's Ki close by. 'Thank kami, he is okay. Hopefully he stays away, Tien is by him as well. Good, more back-up, hopefully they aren't needed... Wait… Is that Goten and Trunks close to them? No, they were supposed to stay away, with Bulma, damn those kids! Oh Crap, this thing is about to hatch.'
The ball stopped smoking cracking open, revealing an empty shell. "Where my Buu?!" Babidi squeaked.
"Maybe he had been inactive so long he couldn't be revived." Shin mused sounding naively hopeful.
Gohan was starting to think that not even the Supreme Kai knew how to sense power levels properly or just overlooked the energies swirling around the worlds. As she looked up she saw the smoke from before starting to change colour and form a solid pink shape, radiating a power of a pure evil Gohan had never felt; she thought Cell's evil heart was hard to handle. Whatever this thing was, was far stronger than she is at the moment. Once the smoke had formed a solid ball and was trying to mould itself into some shape the Supreme Kai and Babidi noticed Gohan looking up in terror and saw the monster forming.
"Yes! It did work!" Babidi exclaimed like a 5-year-old at Christmas.
"Gohan, we have to retreat right now!" Shin yelled petrified.
"No! We can't run. We have to stay and fight him. We're all that stands between him and the world being destroyed. You said so yourself."
"I agree, but we aren't strong enough. You've proven it yourself with the fact you can't access all you power. We have to retreat now. I've been thinking about why you can't access your power properly and we need time to assess it."
"What if he destroys everything before I even get close to my pervious power? I can't live with that. The Dragon Balls only revive people once. There are too many people on this world that won't be revived again."
"This is the time for strategy not blind heroics!"
"I can't just leave here and not try! You're the Supreme Kai you should understand the need to try! To protect all life!"
"Gah, there is no reasoning with you Saiyan's is there; when he seems too much for you I will pull you out. You still stand as our best hope of defeating him."
The pink blob finally formed a fat bouncing man made of what looks like a blob bubble gum with skinny legs and arms. "BUU!" It screamed in a childlike voice.
"This is the monster you're all scared of." Gohan asked in dumfounded shock. She could tell it was pure evil and strong but not invincible.
"Don't let his childlike attitude fool you. He is still strong enough to destroy the universe." Shin replied fear still dripping from his voice.
They watched with their guards up at this giant child playing by himself, watching the sky and generally just looking happy to be free of the ball. Babidi was trying to get it to respond to him also like a spoilt child being ignored. If it wasn't for the treat he posed Gohan would of laughed at the way Babidi was unable to control Majin Buu. After 5 minutes of Buu just bouncing around he finally listened to Babaidi.
"Now Majin Buu, I am your new master."
"Where Bibidi?"
"I am Master Bibidi's son. Your new Master, Babidi."
"Oh… Buu hungry. Can Buu play now?"
"Why yes. Yes, you can. See those people over there they tried to hurt you. Destroy them first."
Hearing the exchange Gohan dropped into her stance hoping that would be enough. Maybe she could try and talk to it. It seemed like an innocent child the kind that only did what it was told. Maybe it could be reasoned with. Summoning all the energy she could she waited for the thing to get closer.
"You look fun to play with. Buu hungry. Buu eat you then play with the purple one." Majin Buu said to Gohan then looking towards the Supreme Kai like he remembered him.
Gohan took the initiative and charged Majin Buu throwing enhanced punches and kicks, every hit just bounced off him.
Knowing she wasn't doing any damage to him at all. Going for broke she charged up the strongest Ki blast she could.
"Ka. Me. Ha. Me. HA!" Blasting a hole right through the centre of him. Panting heaving after exerting most of her power in that one last ditch effort.
Right before her eyes Majin Buu stood back up. Looking down at his stomach, then looking back at Gohan, "You hurt Buu… Buu return the favour." All the while his stomach mended itself in front of her eyes, Buu started charging a large blast in front of himself.
Gohan trembled at the blast there was no way she could block it, not as she was. Supreme Kai saw what was happening and started running towards Gohan, she saw this and yelled to him to stay away, she would try with all her might to at least stop it from hurting the earth. The amount of power he was putting into the Ki ball would easily destroy the Earth if directed straight at it. Gohan only hoped it was meant for her alone and not the planet.
As the blast was coming towards her she put up the strongest Ki shield she could manage and briefly wondered if this was the feeling her father had all the times she was made to fight as a kid. The last thing she wanted was for Goten and Trunks to have to fight life and death battles but if she couldn't stop this thing she knew they would try; it was in their blood. Right as the blast hit her shield she put her hands up to block as much as she could trying to direct it up knowing it was a fruitless effort, that was until she felt something grab the back of her suit. Next thing she knew she was standing on a pristine green field like something out of a fairy tale, many moons littered the sky and she could no longer feel Majin Buu or any of her friends back on Earth. Turning around she saw Shin breathing heavy behind her. "What… What happened?"
Vegeta P.O.V.
Kakarot stalled the fight for the second time. 'This is getting ridiculous, ignore what's going on over there and fight me already!' he thought to himself as Goku was trying to convince him to stop the fight and go and help.
"We don't have time Vegeta. You felt that energy! We need to stop this and work together to put him back, Gohan can't do it alone."
"That Buu is only a side show, you are my only concern."
"Everyone on Earth will be killed. You hear me?! Trunks, Bulma, Gohan! Everyone!"
"Shut up!" Goku keeled over as Vegeta punched him in the stomach. "Shut UP! Remember I sold my soul to Babidi, I keep no loyalty. They're nothing to me! The only reason I've stayed on this planet this long is so I could finally best you!" Yelled Vegeta while constantly sending punched the whole speech.
Goku having dodged all the punches Vegeta tried to land on him while having his rant yelled, "LIAR!"
This cause Vegeta to pause, he had yelled it with such conviction, Vegeta found himself on the ground looking up at Goku whom had thrown a punch to his cheek. "Talk all you want Vegeta, but you better convince yourself of it first!"
Pulling himself up off the ground he stared at his long-time rival. Suddenly they both turned to the direction that had Gohan's Ki coming from it, they felt as her Ki rose high, then suddenly dropped, disappearing completely. At that moment any string Babidi had on his heart and mind were cut. She was gone. He couldn't deny it. It hurt.
"Fine, I can see you too distracted." Sounding more distracted himself at the moment yet trying to sound like it didn't affect him as much as it did. While Goku was muttering to himself trying to convince himself that she was still in the world of the living. "We will finish this fight another day."
Goku's face lit up at Vegeta's declaration. "Well what are you waiting for get those sensu beans of yours out." Vegeta said in his regal tone trying not to show too much emotion.
As Goku turned around to get the bag from his belt, "I know Gohan will be happy to see us working together again. Her energy may have dropped but I know working together we can avenge he…" Vegeta hit Goku in the back of the head as hard as he could knocking him out cold mid sentence.
Picking up a sensu bean that was dropped from the bag he checked to see that there was still one for the idiot when he eventually woke up, not that he would need it. Vegeta planned to stop this enemy by himself. "Hmph, even you can drop your guard. I will finish this Majin Buu. The last thing I need is you playing hero again and lauding it over my head. Enjoy your sleep."
Vegeta flew off to the site he last felt Gohan's energy. Landing in front of what was the ugliest fat pink blob he had seen. Vegeta powered up sending a punch right into his face indenting it and making him stumble backwards taking the monster by surprise. "So, you must be Majin Buu."
Buu had been looking around for the girl he was playing with, when Vegeta landed in front of him and hit him. "That's not nice. Buu was playing with the girl. Girl gone now so Buu will play with you."
Majin Buu barely got the sentence out before Vegeta bombarded him with as many attacks as he could. None of them did anything, not even his Ki enhanced attacks. Buu managed to get the upper hand and started beating on Vegeta bad. It felt like hours went by that he was the personal punching bag for the monster. No matter what he tried he couldn't cause any damage. Just as he was about to give up and Majin Buu was about to land a final blow, a purple blur came charging in knocking Majin Buu away through many rock formations.
"Is he okay? I can't feel mummy anymore and Mr. Vegeta is not looking too good Trunks."
"He is just fine Goten! Mum told me that back on his planet dad was the Prince. A Prince wouldn't let something as weak as that thing beat him. He is too strong! Come on dad, get up!"
Vegeta had heard everything Trunks had said; his son was right. He was the Prince of all Saiyans. He would not let this enemy beat him. Even if he wasn't strong enough to beat him hand to hand he would go out on his own terms not by that monsters hand. Slowly Vegeta opened his eyes he looked into his son's blue eyes. The kid had the power and blood of a Saiyan even if he didn't look like one, but when he was powered up to Super Saiyan he looked just like the rest of them. He turned his head to look at the miniature of his rival, raised by the woman, whom he was willing spend the rest of his life working to never have her look at him with such disgust as she had earlier; they had the same eyes he realised then. He would fight now for the world that took him in. The small family he had built yet denied any attachment to.
Getting up he heard the Buu monster coming back to them sounding angry and confused. He didn't have much time, through the sound of his son's cheering and the worried sound of Goten asking about his mother trying to get Vegeta to answer them, Vegeta looked up and saw Tien and Krillin off to the side watching the scene. After him, it would be up to them to protect these children and the others that took him in. Though they were not strong enough, Vegeta could reluctantly say he had learnt to respect them; through their use of skills and the fact they always showed up, fighting for the planet they lived on no matter how over powered they were.
"Trunks, my son, from the time you were a baby, I never once gave you a hug. Have I?" Trunks just looked at him confused at where this was going. Of course, he hadn't hugged him it wasn't the Saiyan way to show affection. As Vegeta stepped towards his son, "let me hug you." He asks softly.
Trunks took a step back unconsciously, not knowing why his father was acting this way. Vegeta wrapped his arm around his son's head in an awkward embrace, his newly re-formed tail coming and wrapping itself loosely around him. If trunks had a tail as well they would have been entwined. "Dad? What? Dad, this is embarrassing."
Vegeta didn't say another word, he looked down at his son, his first born, noticed the blush on his face mimicking the embarrassment that he had previously stated while smiling. Goten was off to the side looking a bit envious that Trunks got a hug from his father. "Take care son." Vegeta swiftly chops Trunks in the neck knocking him out.
As he fell to the ground Goten starts yelling, "Why would you do that?! Trunks just wanted to help you Mr Vegeta, we both do!" Before Goten could say anymore Vegeta punches him in the stomach hard, also knocking him out.
Tien having watched the scene and having a fair idea what Vegeta had in mind comes down to face Vegeta. "This is rare occasion for you, you know you'll likely die right?"
"A warriors death. Tell me, you think I'll see Kakarot and Gohan in the other-life or whatever it's called?"
"I doubt it, they spent their lives fighting to protect the world and all the people in it. Goku was given special privilege to train with King Kai because of it. Not everyone gets it. You spent your life in a selfish pursuit, killing many innocent people. I doubt this one act will be enough redemption."
"Pity. That's too bad. Now take the boys far away to the lookout. If this doesn't work you will need all the help you can get."
Majin Buu was insight by then and was bouncing his way back to Vegeta. Tien just nodded and blasted off. "You stay, Buu won't let you get away."
"Hey! Ugly balloon scum! Your fight is right here, you only get them after you defeat me." This got Buu's attention.
"You insult Buu! Me not like you!" Steam started coming from the holes in his head like a tea pot that's boiling.
"I've figured out how to beat you at last Majin Buu." Vegeta powered up to full power trying to keep it all contained within him, creating a ball of energy around himself. "I'm going to make sure you won't be able to regenerate."
Buu noticed the destructive energy that was starting to affect his being. Entranced, watching Vegeta's light show. The prince continued to power up and concentrate his energy. 'Farewell Trunks, Bulma, you gave me a son. Even you Kakarot. One day I hope you'll forgive me, Gohan I do this for you and the planet you love.' In a final scream heard from a mile away, Vegeta released all his energy like an atomic bomb eradicating all life and land around him.
Tien and Krillin watched from a distance not having the strength to just leave him but knowing they were of no use there. Barely believing what was happening. The proud selfish Saiyan Prince sacrificing himself for his family and them. A truly selfless act they had only seen Goku before them do. Once the blinding light had died down they flew back to the site to see a giant crater and Vegeta hanging in the air turned to stone. Before they could make it any further what remained of his body disintegrated into dust. Their only thought was they were glad the boys were not awake to witness it.
TBC...
A/N:
I know this chapter and possibly the previous and beginning of the next chapter are very similar to canon. I just love Vegeta's sacrifice too much to change it by much. Hits the feels every time I watch it. I was debating whether or not to even have it or just reference it hense why it took so long to post. Also you can pretty much assume up until the Vegeta P.O.V that the fight between Goku and Vegeta was going the same as canon because that is an epic fight I just didn't want to touch. :)
