Hello everyone, My name is Silverleone, and I've got a story for you today...well, the first chapter anyhow. I call it Pride Style: Lion Technique. Or PS:LT. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

PS:LT Part 1

The ability to watch two people fight at speeds faster than sound itself is not likely for an average human. But training your speed and reflexes under up to 700 times Earth's gravity for 10 years really boosts your awareness. Not to mention, it breaks every single limit, and then some, that the human body has.

My name is Rei Taiki, and I am the world's fastest human.(And no, I'm not just saying that to gloat.) I have multiple fighting abilities; I am a master swordsman, trained in the use of a Bokken. For those of you who don't have that much knowledge of Japanese weaponry,(not that I have that much knowledge myself...) it is basically a shorter Katana. I created my own style of Martial Arts, combining the use of my Bokken and regular hand-to-hand combat, I labeled it the Pride Style. I also have the ability to manipulate my own Ki, and have found the ability to influence electricity. That seems a little overpowered I know, but with my opponents, the more you keep them on their toes, the better.

To describe myself; I am a 19 year old blonde haired, blue eyed male, with half rimmed gray glasses. I generally wear a gray scaled v-neck with blue jeans, a black long coat and tennis shoes. A sheath for my Bokken hangs on my back, and with myself being left handed, the handle of the sword hangs behind my left shoulder. Hanging around my neck is a fabric necklace with a rounded Teardrop shaped pendent attached. On the pendent is a Native American symbol of a Zuni Bear. The Bear symbolizes courage, physical strength, and leadership. The Heartline symbolizes life force.

Back to the point at hand. Two people fighting at speeds beyond what is normal for any living being. The average human unable to keep up at all. Sonic waves from punches and kicks are flying around the area, kicking up dust and debris. Myself and a group of almost 10 other people are standing next to the use-to-be pristine fighting arena, now a giant, gaping hole in the ground, watching as the fate of the world is put to the test. Goku, the legendary defender of Earth, versus Cell, an evil bio-mech created by one of the Red Ribbon army's scientists, Dr. Gero. A literal walking, talking science experiment of compiled data, DNA, and memories of the world's strongest fighters…'cept me…

Huh...That kind of hurts you know? I break nearly every bone in my body training for literal YEARS, and Gero doesn't even look in my direction. Then again, I did stay hidden unless the guys needed me, so maybe he couldn't get any of my DNA...Probably a good thing though, considering I have my own personal fighting style.

Anyways, Goku is fighting with Cell right now, punches and kicks being thrown and blocked so fast my eyes can't even move fast enough to receive information properly. Instead I'm using my Ki senses to detect where they are. Just of the battle so far? Goku is losing. This immense pressure that is Cell's energy is not his full strength. Not even close. Goku is being pushed to his limits, and while Cell is actually damaged, he's definitely doing better than Goku. The two fighters split from their barrage of attacks and land on the ground taking a breather.

(I have no idea what the actual dialogue in the show is, so I'm making it up as I go, 'cause I'm too lazy to look it )

"Well Cell, I didn't expect this at all. I thought I was strong enough to at least push you, but I just can't fill in the gap between us." Goku says while breathing heavier than normal.

"I wouldn't expect anything less from you Goku...but, you're right, you're no where near strong enough. Damage me yes, but beat me? I don't think so." Cell said while shaking his head and smirking. I gritted my teeth and tried to stay quiet. I hated how cocky he'd gotten since achieving his "Perfect form".

That over confidence is going to get you killed Cell...just you wait. I was standing next to Gohan, my left hand on his right shoulder to support him. No 10 year old should have to go through this...NO one, should have to go through this...but I can't step in, not yet.

"Well, if I can't beat you, then it's time to step aside and let someone else do the fighting." Goku said, smirking as well. Cell looked at him in shock. He probably thought Goku would fight to the death, not give up in the middle of the fight.

Wait. Something isn't right...what is he planning? There's no one else even near Cell's power level exce-...no, he wou-dumb question! Goku turns towards Gohan and smiles.

"It's your turn son, go get him!" Everyone immediately protests except Gohan and I. I'm watching his face as it slowly dawns on him, realizing the fate of the world rests in his hands now.

"Goku, this is insane! You can't send him out there!"

"He's only 10!" Piccolo and Krillin both shout in shock that their friend would send his own son to his death. Goku walks over and starts to kneel in front of Gohan, when suddenly there's a blade in between them. He looks to his left and sees me standing there, head down and eyes shadowed.

"Gohan will not be put through that. I'm Cell's opponent now." I turn and face Cell with a calm, composed look on my face. Sheathing my sword, I walk over while everyone protests my idea, claiming that I had no idea what I was doing. Goku turned and stood up, looking at my back while I got closer to the monster that killed thousands, and planned to kill billions.

Every dark thought about Cell, every drop of hate that I could muster up. I thought of all of those people who he's hurt, those cities he's destroyed for "fun". I felt my anger rising as I got about half way in between Cell and the others, when an orange wall appeared in front of me. I stopped and looked up at Goku as he made eye contact with me.

"It's not your turn Rei...It's Gohan's turn now." I gritted me teeth as he said that. He was going to send his own son to die, and didn't seem to care.

"Shut up Goku...I don't care who's turn it is, I'm ending this." I spat at him and started to walk around him. Now, I'm normally calm and collected, but with what Goku had just done, there was no chance I was letting him get his way. He had the bright idea to put his hand on my shoulder. Big mistake. Next thing everyone knows, Goku is in the ground and I've started walking again.

"Impressive, I didn't expect one of Goku's friends to throw him into the dirt like that. Admittedly, I don't know you as well as the others, but..."

"Shut up Cell..."

"Ho-ho, You've got a fighter here Goku, where did you find this one? The boonies?" Cell said while laughing a little.

"You are way over confidence for your position Cell. Arrogance will be your downfall." I said, stopping about 20 feet away.

"Arrogance? Me? HA! Now look who's talking? You think I'm over confident? I'm the one with the real power here. Not Goku. Not Gohan. And most certainly. Not. Yo-!" Cell stopped as the point of my Bokken was right in his face. "Wha-hm...I didn't see you hardly mov-."

"Stop. Talking." I glowered at him as my sword gleamed in the sun. He looked at me, slightly shocked at my boldness. I lowered my sword and took a step back. "I'm sick of hearing your voice Cell. It drips with carelessness and arrogance. Never good qualities to have, no matter how strong you are." I jump back about 10 feet and raised myself into a stance. "I'll end that here and now. You think that because Goku isn't strong enough, there isn't anyone who can stop you. I'll tell you now, just because he is stronger than me, doesn't mean he's faster." Neither of us spoke for all of five seconds, then Cell started laughing. I could feel the others behind me tense up. Being far enough away, Piccolo and Goku were probably the only ones to hear us at all, so the others didn't know why Cell was laughing.

"I'm, ha ha, I'm sorry. But you have got to be the funniest character that I've run across. Power is everything, Boy, and I don't think you have what it takes. If Goku had a hard time keeping up with me, what makes you think you'll be any different?" Cell stood there with his arms folded, trying to assert his dominance over everything.

"Because you've never seen me fight. You have no idea what I'm capable of." I sank lower into my stance. Resting my sword on my right forearm and my right foot forward, I started boosting my power. One small tactic I learned, raising your power slowly makes your opponent underestimate you. Getting up from my resting power level, I took about a minute to reach half of Goku's level when he was fighting. Thing was, Cell was used to people shouting when powering up, so he thought my silence was strange compared to others.

"Boy, if you're going to reach your limit this early, then you're more naive than Goku. And he was about to send his son over here to die. If you don't finish in the next minute, then I'll end this." A look of impatience crossed his face momentarily, and he shifted his stance a little.

Good, get uncomfortable, squirm like the bug you are. I want to hear you scream in frustration at having to wait. I kept powering up, raising my power level so I'll hit the first peak of my power.

"If you're taking that 2 minutes seriously, I might as well go fight the other weaklings first, get that out of the way."

He's just goading you, ignore him.

A few minutes later

"You actually took up the whole time...I'm going to kill you no-WHAT?!" Cell stepped back in shocked as I was suddenly in his face, smirking like a maniac. I dissipated and reappeared back in the same spot as before, face a blank slate. "What?! But-how-gr, how are you so fast?! Your power level is no where near the level needed for that spee-..."

"That's it. You hit the nail on the head Cell. Just like when you fought Trunks over there and told him about his new form. "You. Can't. Touch me." I've always trained more on the speed aspect rather than strength. I've always been faster than others with my power level." Cell could only stare in shock. He couldn't imagine how the gap had closed. Cell was so busy goading in his own power, he didn't notice my power level continuously rising. Surpassing everyone but the main four, meaning; Goku, Gohan, Trunks, and Vegeta. Cell knew what I said was true. With the speed I possess, there wasn't any way to hit me.

I have Cell, one of the strongest fighters in the universe, cornered.
