Alright, here is chapter 23 with the (hopefully) last part of the Old and New arc. When the last chapter ended, Team GRAY were prepared to fight each other, lets see how it goes. I own nothing except my ideas and OC's.

The four members of GRAY faced each other, weapons ready to strike. Ash smirked. "Hey guys, I suggest you all turn your weapons on me, if you want to stand a chance". Ash says with a smirk. "What's that supposed to mean"? George asks. "Simple, when we normally fight, I'm in Remnant, but here, I am at full power, this is MY world"! Ash says before his eyes shifted to a emerald green. "And I'm going to have fun". He mutters before his hair shifted to the familiar gold color of a Super Saiyan.

The others gasped, having never seen Ash's transformation before. "Whoa, cool". Iris exclaims while staring. "I'll say"! Bonnie cheers. Ash smirks from his spot and begins to take slow steps towards his team. "You are going to see what I'm truly capable of, not being restrained by the locks of the worlds". Ash says before getting into a battle stance. "Let's see what your capable of"! Ash shouts before racing forward.

Ash ran and clashed blades with Yaron, before twirling his lance and blocking George's axe strike. Ryan came around with his rapiers, only to get smacked back by Ash's tail. Ash spun and broke the lock between the three, before crossing his arms and shooting them out to the sides, unleashing a shockwave and blasting his teammates back. Ash stared as they tried to make sense of what just happened. "Like I said, I am not restrained, your facing my true power"! Ash snaps before shifting to Super Saiyan 2. The other 3 were slightly afraid of their leaders power. Ash grins before racing forward. Yaron shifted Nightfall into its Awakened form, the blades extending into two shortswords, before racing forward to confront his leader.

Ash and Yaron clashed with their respective powers flaring. Behind Yaron, Ryan was shooting holes in the ground with his dust gauntlet, while George had Earthbreaker plugged into one of the holes, a mortar inside. Yaron did a vertical slash with was blocked and countered by a flaming blade, which was ducked under. Yaron slashed Ash in the cheek while Ash hit Yaron in the waist with Celestial's Will. Yaron jumped back and took a crossed arm stance with his weapons, before racing forward at immense speed. Ash got hit in the stomach by Yaron's attack, and was promptly barraged by a torrent of attacks by Yaron, who let out a roar and slammed Ash into the ground with his weapons. "Now"! Yaron snaps while jumping back. Ryan gave George a thumbs up, who nodded and pulled the trigger of his mortar.

BOOM!

The onlookers gasped as Ash was enveloped in an immense torrent of fire, the ground beneath him destroyed. The smoke covered any view from Ash, but not for long. A bright light shone followed by a strong burst of wind, pushing the three members of GRAY back a bit, only for them to gulp in fear at what was before them. Ash was in Super Saiyan 3 mode. "And now, its time to end this". Ash mutters before taking a slow step forward, before vanishing in speed, as if teleporting.

Ash slammed his fist into George's stomach, before appearing behind him and performing a Suplex on him, knocking George out cold. Ryan ran forward, only to get intercepted by a frigid blast of ice, freezing him solid. Yaron growled and stared, only for Ash to smirk, Yaron smirking as well. "I suppose this match is over". Ash says before returning to normal, with Yaron sheathing his weapons. The two turned to the onlookers to find them staring in awe. "Er, I guess we need to explain huh"? Ash asks with a sheepish grin.

Many, many, hours later.

After going through the painfully long explanation of his Saiyan heritage and forms, the night had began to roll around. With the rest of his friends visiting, such as Misty (and getting chased by her mallet for a brief amount of time), May, who enjoyed talking with the females of the group, and was immensely interested in the Faunus race, finding them awesome. Buneary was released from Dawn's Pokeball not long after the fight, and promptly tackle hugged Pikachu, getting teases from the blonde brawler. Max had to restrain a look of awe when Ruby decided to show them Crescent Rose, and was marveled by the mechanic super scythe. Eventually, to Ash's surprise, Paul had arrived to give Ash a quick welcome back. Although he didn't stay long due to him training, he did pull Ash away for a second and request a rematch, which Ash agreed to.

Now with all of them sitting in the main room in their pajamas, and the others having to restrain their laughs at Ryan pajamas, his being a nightgown, due to him being from a much later time and having no need to get new ones. "So, liking the dress"? Aria teased, clothed in a white T-shirt and orange boxers.. "It's a nightgown"! Ryan rebuts angrily. "And its very comfortable". He finishes before sitting against a beanbag that was spread out alongside with others. Ash chuckled and shook his head, opting to just use his shirt and pants as his pajamas, since he has been so used to sleeping in armor and/or clothing. "So, any interesting scenarios occur while you were gone"? May asks, sitting against her beanbag. Ash put a hand to his chin before grinning. "In fact, there is". Ash began with a grin, he hoped his friends had good stomachs. Because he was about to tell the story of the Separation.

1 hour later.

Team GRAAY had to restrain their laughs, as nearly the entire group had either fainted, or fallen asleep mid story. Bonnie and Max taking the first for the latter. Only Misty, Brock, and RWBY remain. "Well, I do suppose its time to head to bed, gonna need to head out tomorrow". Ash says while they nods. "Goodnight everybody". Ash says before they return it, with Ash using a small amount of his Aura to flick the light switch off, bathing the room in darkness.

The End.

Now I know you might be wondering: Why not show when they went back to Remnant? In all honesty it isn't something real big to put in the story, they just exchange goodbyes and head off. I apologize if the fight was a bit lackluster, I was a bit brain dead at that part. I am glad I got this finished, and now I can finally get to a chapter I have been wanting to do for a while.
