Sorry I took so long, had a few other things to take care of. I'll try to update as much as I can, sound good?

Chapter 4 New Earth

"RAAAARGGGGHH!" Rex screamed at the top of his lungs.

In agony he covered himself in his arms in a pitiful attempt to soothe his inner pain, his ribs were splitting, his intestines burning, and his skull was splitting in two.

"What's happening to me!" He shouted.

He heard the roar again and in an instant his body was surrounded by an emerald green light. His body was in the middle of a swirling vortex, and Rex could feel his very being changing into something more than a human…

"What's that!" A woman shouted pointing to the sky.

"Uhh?" Joey mumbled looking up, his eyes popped with disbelief when he saw the enormous green beam of light in the sky.

"What the hell is that!" He screamed.

Yugi shielded his eyes as the light grew brighter, his millennium item was going crazy.

"Yugi," The Pharaoh called from inside the puzzle, "Yugi this looks dangerous I sense a strange power within that beam of light, let me take over."

Yugi nodded, "Yu-Gi-Oh!" Yugi shouted at the top of his lungs.

In an instant Yugi's body was transformed from a tiny teen to a tall, powerful spiritual being. Yami shielded himself and Joey with his magic just as the green light exploded and engulfed everything in sight.

Minutes later:

"W-w-what happened?" Joey said standing up, he spotted Yugi standing beside him, "Yugi?"

Yami offered Joey his hand, "Be strong Joey," he warned, "What you see before you may come as a shock."

"How do you mean?" Joey said staring into the horizon.

"Wha!" He cried out, nearly falling.

Yami's hand darted out and caught him by the sleeve just in time, "What's going on here?" Joey shouted.

Instead of being on a crowded street, the duo was a rocky cliff, below Joey could make out the city's skyscrapers…or at least what was left of them. Beyond them what was once a teaming metropolis, was now an unbroken jungle.

"What happened?" Joey asked turning to Yami.

"I sense this has something to do with the presence I sensed earlier." Yami responded.

"I've seen what those millennium items can do, but I never knew they were capable of doing something like this!" Joey exclaimed.

"I doubt this was the work of a single millennium item," Yami added, "It would take several, if not all items combined to do something like this."

"So, you're saying that someone got their hands on the millennium items and changed the world back into what it was at the dawn of time?" Joey asked.

"Unlikely," Yami answered, "I suspect that there are other forces at work here. But we can't stay and talk about it here."

Yami pointed to a path leading off of the cliff they were on, "Strange forces are at work here, and I feel that we need to continue this discussion in a more…isolated area. I feel that something is watching us."

Joey shrugged, "Whatever you say, but I want to check on Tea and Tristian, I want to make sure if they're okay."

"We will find them, even if we have tear apart the entire city to do so." Yugi reassured him.

"Uggghhh, what happened?" Rex said standing up.

He raised his hand to rub his head, then stopped. Instead of the soft, small hand of a young teen, there was a green, scaly, hideous claw with fingers ending in long hook-like talons.

"No." Rex gasped in horror, "This has to be a dream, this can't be real."

Spotting a nearby puddle of water, he immediately rushed over to the small body of water only to see the horror he had become.

"No." He whispered at first, and then the beast inside took over, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Like a crazed animal he wailed out his rage and sorrow.
