It was calm for now...the calm before the storm, and that storm was Vegeta, in such a sporadic fit, he charged at Goku, and the warriors went at it.
And from where Sibella was standing, it was clear who was the stronger warrior...Vegeta, infused with the rage and power Babbidi had given him, was clearly the stronger warrior.
Never had she seen Kakarott so submissive, it was such a sight to behold, even in these quiet times, that passion, that rage, that Pride Vegeta held onto...it hadn't diminished, not even a bit.
It was impressive as it was sad.
Everything around them was turning into rubble as they raged into each other.

It was becoming more and more obvious, Vegeta had done it, he surpassed Kakarott and was really laying into him.
Sibella listened in on their odd conversations, how Vegeta had resented Kakarott who since they met had lowered Vegeta to such a state, how he had defeated him, how he had defeated Frieza and avenged the Saiyans, and how he was the first to have achieved the pinnacle of Saiyan power, the Super Saiyan Power. And even worse, how Gohan only at 16 managed to kill Cell.

It was devastating to hear, again very sad, Vegeta had expressed how low he had been feeling, how much resentment he had, how all this was because of Kakarott.

During this battle Sibella found herself moving around, trying to get out of the way but also be able to observe the fight where she could.
She had very little concern for her life at this point, worried what would happen should Vegeta win.
Things were getting more intense with each passing moment, and though it seemed Vegeta had the upper hand...it was looking more and more like an even match.
However, it was then that everything came to a stop.
Sibella felt such a wave of energy in the distance, not caring for the fight any longer she sped towards the men and stopped them from continuing.

"Knock it off you morons, cant you feel that- while you were raging into each other that monster Buu is free, tell me you can feel it?!" she exclaimed in frustration.

Both men stopped and actually did listen to her, they focused their thoughts and could pick up quite a high power; but the reaction from Vegeta was not quite what she had expected. He started laughing in amusement.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Sibella asked, confused.
"Don't you fools see, this Majin Buu is nothing to be worried about, not compared to us. Saiyan power has grown over the last few years and you both know for a fact even the Kai was surprised at our power at every turn. So what on Earth are you worrying about?" Vegeta responded.

Sibella sighed and shook her head.
Whereas Goku, was clearly more nervous.

"You're wrong, I can feel something deeper inside him" Goku stuttered.

Vegeta was growing impatient, as usual.

"Enough of your feelings, you're just stalling because you know I'm going to beat you!" Vegeta screamed.
"No Vegeta, I know you can sense the same thing- you're just too proud to admit it" Goku rebuffed.
"Well standing here isn't going to resolve anything" Sibella interrupted.

She then moved from between them and took to the sky.

"You morons can stay here and fight all you want, but your friends and family are going to die unless we try something- well I'm going to anyway" she stated, then took off towards where the power was coming from, leaving the men behind to deal with their issues.

The energy was coming from quite far away, but she had to press on, every moment counted.
As she flew, she could feel fluctuations of various powers, all belonging to different people, it would appear that a fight was indeed going on.
After some time of flying she soon found herself still in the outlands, and soon figures began to come into view.

"What the..." she trailed off.

She approached an opening in the wastelands and there she saw quite an unusual being, it was, well fat and pink, like a giant marshmallow.
And below him was a defenceless figure that was beaten and passed out, and beside him was Babbidi.
Rapidly lowering her power she stopped and hid in a rock formation, she stood for a moment, ready to step in when suddenly there was a massive explosive eruption.
Black smoke filled the area, and by the time it cleared, another figure came into view- it was Vegeta.

"Well wonder what changed his mind- wait where's Kakarott?" she pondered.
"Shh- keep it down or they'll hear us!" said a hushed voice.

Looking around Sibella glanced up to see a higher ledge and on it was Piccolo, Krillin, Trunks, Goten, Raaz and Lazuli.

"What the?!" she whispered in frustration and climbed her way up there.
"There you all are!" she spoke in hushed tones.
"Mommy" the girls said and leapt to embrace her.
"Oh my babies, thank god you're alright, what the hell is going on?" Sibella asked.

She was quickly filled in on the situation, how that Pink thing was Buu, how he killed Dabora which is how Piccolo and Krillin were freed, and how Vegeta had just shown up .

"But that doesn't explain where Kakarott is..." Sibella trailed off.

Regardless of her thoughts, they all continued to remain hidden and watch as the events unfolded.
It turns out Vegeta had just destroyed Babbidi's space ship, limiting his ability to escape Earth.
Vegeta stood before them with that same confident smile on his face.

"I assume you're Majin Buu, if so then youre the one that killed Gohan" Vegeta accused.
"Oh my God!" Sibella gasped.}
As did Piccolo, who clearly had heard the same thing, but the others appeared to not have.

"Huh, what is it, what did my dad say?" Trunks asked, curiously.

Sibella clenched her fist and grunted in frustration.
Piccolo was distraught, clearly, why wouldn't he be, someone he practically raised like his own had been killed, which could explain why his power could not be felt at all.

"This is gonna be rough" Krillin commented.
"Not for my dad, he can do anything" Trunks boasted.
"I admire your optimism" Sibella replied.

Buu then stood ready, but for some reason didn't appear to take it seriously, unless he was angry, he was acting like a child.
But there was something different about Vegeta, Sibella couldn't quite put her finger on it, there was some odd change in his demeanour, what was it exactly?

Regardless, with that same Saiyan rage, Vegeta began powering up to such an extent, ready to take on Buu.
Electricity filled the air, the earth was shaking, and rocks were flying all over the place.

"I've never seen Vegeta like this" Piccolo stuttered.
"You should have seen the fight earlier, Vegeta certainly was something" Sibella added.

Now things were getting underway, Vegeta went on into Buu with his typical hand to hand combat moves, not letting up.

"You got em dad!" Trunks cheered.

Sibella didn't want to damper Trunks' vision of his father, but this was certainly not going to be an easy fight, there was something about this monster, as though the power he had...was unlike anything they had ever faced before.
Vegeta tried and tried, he used every technique that she had seen, and even more that she hadn't, but for some reason, despite it looking like he was winning...it actually did nothing, nothing at all!
Not even one attack that was so strong it blasted a hole right through Majin Buu, but....the monster was unfazed, he stood there, expressionless, and the damage just healed up, like nothing had happened at all.

"Well that could be a problem, like we had with Cell, Buu looks like he can regenerate with little effort, meaning if we have to kill this thing, we have to make sure there's not a single pink blob left" Sibella stated.

Krillin and Piccolo knew she was right, and they too became fearful, as it seemed unlike Cell, Buu was able to heal a lot faster and with little effort.
Buu was getting agitated with Vegeta and began powering up himself.

"M...mommy, he...he's strong" Lazuli commented and tugged onto her mothers arm.
"He is my love" Sibella replied.

This power was devastating, everyone was becoming so scared, the planet itself was trembling.

"Everyone take cover!" Piccolo warned.

Sibella grabbed all 4 of the children and pressed them against the rock formation and shielded them with her body as the whole area, was drowned in a bright pink light.

"Is everyone alright?!" Piccolo called out.
"Oh fantastic" Sibella sarcastically remarked.
"Thanks Aunty Sibella" Goten expressed.
"Don't mention is" Sibella grunted, covered in a few scratched.
"Are you ok mom?" Raaz asked.
"Of course hun, takes more than that to finish your mother"

Knowing everyone was alright they rapidly returned their attention to the battlefield, Vegeta had survived but at a cost, his arm was badly damaged, and bleeding excessively.

"I don't think even Vegeta will be able to do this on his own" Piccolo expressed.
"My dad is way to strong to lose to that creep- right Piccolo?" Trunks begged.

But he remained silent.

"S...Sibella, right?" Trunks asked.
"Trunks, I...I don't know" Sibella replied nervously.

Things were indeed looking grim, explosive attacked were coming from Buu right left and centre, and Vegeta indeed looked like he was struggling.
It got to one point where Buu got Vegeta wrapped in his own Pink essence, and began beating at him like a punching bag, he was deffencless and unable to move.

"Dad!" Trunks screamed and raced towards the battlefield.
"No!" Sibella screamed.

Then without warning Goten also took off to help his friend.

"Oh for God sake!" Sibella screamed.

She then stood up.

"You will stay here girls, or I'll punish you like my parents did me on the home planet!" she waned them.

She took to the sky and as she got closer she saw Trunks had kicked Buu off Vegeta, and Goten quickly helped unwrapped Vegeta.
She approached the boys and saw Trunks had tears in his eyes, lightly shaking Vegeta trying to wake him up.

"Is he alive?" Goten asked.
"Ofcourse he is, my dad is the toughest guy in the whole world.!" Trunks yelled.
"Yeah but he got hurt real bad" Goten replied.
"Clean the wax out of your ears Goten, my mom told me my dad, he used ot be the Prince of every single Saiyan" Trunks wept.

Sibella paused and listened as Trunks spoke.

"He's a prince?!" Goten repeated.
"That's right, he's a Prince Goten, a Prince, and there's no way a Prince could lost to a stupid monster!" Trunks continued.

Sibella was moved by how much Trunks expressed such great admiration for his father, despite Vegeta not being the most outwardly emotional person, there were some, some that could see him for what he really was.
It was indeed such a moving sight that Trunks felt this way about his father.

Just then Vegeta began grunting and opened his eyes to see the boys, Trunks helped him sit up.

"Trunks my son" Vegeta muttered.
"Oh my" Sibella sighed sweetly.
"Wait, where is Majin Buu?!" Vegeta demanded.
"Trunks kicked him away, not idea where though" Sibella replied.

Vegeta then looked up at her.

"How you doing your highness?" Sibella asked and watched as he stood up.
"I'm fine- Trunks, you need to take good care of your mother" Vegeta said.
"Huh, well, yeah but you can do that too cant you dad...dad?" Trunks asked.

Sibella's eyes widened and she took one step back, there was a very distinct look in his eyes, that he was about to do something that would come at a great price.
And she knew, that she would need to step in and take the children away.

"I want you both to leave and get far away from here" Vegeta stated.
"No!" Goten responded.
"No we want to help you!" Trunks pleaded.

Vegeta however instead of refusing their help, or losing his temper, he quickly changed the subject.

"Trunks, you are my only son and yet I haven't held you once since I was a baby have i?" Vegeta asked.

With a smile he turned to Trunks and pulled Trunks into a hug.

"Dad this is embarrassing, come on cut it out" Trunks blushed.

Vegeta then turned his head towards Sibella.

"Sibella I'm sorry, for everything" he genuinely said.

Sibella smirked and respectfully got done on one knee.

"Princes don't apologise" she responded, and bowed her head.
"You've always been loyal in your own way"
"My father taught me well, as did yours it would seem"

Vegeta smiled and looked down at Trunks.

"Trunks, there's something you need to know, you've made me proud" he sweetly said.

Trunks looked up at Vegeta surprised, and without warning, Vegeta took his right hand and hit Trunks in the neck causing him to pass out, he then did the same to Goten.

"Sibella" Vegeta simply said.
"I'll handle this" she replied.

Then scooped both boys into her arms.

"Vegeta, I would say be careful, but that isn't much fun in a fight now is it?" Sibella smiled.
"No it isn't, but please, continue to train my son, you know what his mother is like"

Sibella nodded and took to the sky.

"Farewell your highness" she said and made off to take cover once more with her daughters.
"You boys are as bad as your fathers" Sibella sighed, once near the girls, she laid the boys down for a moment.
"Mom, what's happening?" Raaz asked.
"I'll explain later, but for now, we should leave" Sibella responded.

Taking the boys once more she took off with her girls by her side, and with that Piccolo and Krillin followed.
As they were flying there was a great golden explosion behind them, but Sibella did not turn back. Vegeta knew what he was doing, and weeping for him, was not what he would have wanted.

"Vegeta, despite the way you are, I couldn't have a greater respect for you, nor can I imagine anyone else being a better leader of the remaining Saiyans" Sibella whispered.
