After the call from Yugi, Yami felt happier then ever, but after Melissa was bucked off the horse, he was worried about her safety. After a lot of practice and advice from Marik Ishtar, he could now fuse with any of his monsters, and control them. He even taught Melissa one crisp summer day.
"Now, Melissa," he explained. "Chose from your deck which monster you want to control. Then, I'll show you the rest." The young girl chose the monster, Harpie Lady.
"I pick this one!" she said, holding up the card. Yami looked at his daughter with praise.
"An excellent choice. As for me, I choose the Dark Magician! Come forth, Harpie Lady and Dark Magician!" The two monsters appeared from the Puzzle, looking at Yami and Melissa.
"I shall do whatever I can to make sure your daughter perfects this trick," Harpie Lady said to Yami. He nodded and the female monster flew over to Melissa, the girl looking at her wings.
"Now, Melissa, watch me, and repeat what I say," Yami said, the Dark Magician flying to his side. A wind appeared, breaking the heat with the coolness.
"Dark Magician, I invoke thee. Hear my call to you! I shall fuse thee with thy power! With this Puzzle, I fuse into your body and take control!" A bright light flashed, and Yami was gone. Melissa was afraid.
"Daddy, where did you go?" she asked, looking around. She finally saw the Dark Magician in front of her.
"I'm right her, Melissa," the monster said, but in the Pharaoh's voice. He was inside the monster, taking complete command. Melissa was about to try the move on Harpie Lady, but a dragon, Curse of Dragon, grabbed her in midair.
"Daddy, help me!" she screamed, the dragon flying further and further away.
"Hold on, Melissa!" Yami yelled, flying after the dragon, Harpie Lady disappearing into the Puzzle. I won't let anything happen to you, my daughter, he thought, floating in the Dark Magician's body, far from his home. He soon arrived in a palace carved from stone high on top of a tall island.
"I know of this place," Yami murmured. "This is Dartz's lair, but how could he have summoned a Curse of Dragon?" He flew down, the Dark Magician gone. "Hold on, Melissa. I'm coming to save you."
"Well, Pharaoh, I thought the father figure would be too much for you!" Dartz's voice rang out as Yami entered the palace. "Too bad your daughter had to be taken away from you."
"What have you done with her, Dartz?" Yami demanded, entering the Room of Souls, the same place he faced Dartz once before.
"She's safe, from you!" Dartz said, appearing from a flame. Melissa was in his arms, struggling to break free.
"Let me go, you meanie!" she yelled, squirming in the villain's grip.
"Let her go, Dartz!" Yami demanded, running towards his daughter.
"Make one more move, Pharaoh, and she dies!" Dartz said, a knife appearing in his hand. He held it up to Melissa's neck, in a threat. Tears in his eyes, the Pharaoh fell to the ground.
"Yes, Pharaoh," Dartz continued. "Let the darkness and rage consume your heart." He laughed as the Pharaoh muttered something. "What are you doing?" The ground shook as a dark flame appeared around the Pharaoh.
"Melissa, get back!" Yami yelled, the flame growing brighter. She jumped out of Dartz's grip, and backed against a wall. Soon, the Pharaoh was gone again, and in his place was none other then Obelisk the Tormentor.
"It's not possible!" Dartz yelled. "How could the Pharaoh have become Obelisk?"
"You have no control over me, Dartz!" Yami yelled, using his Fist of Fury attack on Dartz. Then, Yami picked the villain up, and began to tighten his grip on him.
"You will never come near my family again, you hear me?" he demanded, continuing to tighten his grip.
"I won't," Dartz whispered. "and neither will you!" He pulled out the knife and thrusted it into Yami's heart. Since he was controlling the monster, he felt the pain.
"Daddy, no!" Melissa cried, Obelisk disappearing before her eyes. Dartz lay on the ground, dead, never to be seen again. The young girl ran over to her father, blood surrounding him.
"Melissa, remember this," Yami whispered, holding his heart. "I love you. Tell Tea that I love her very much." The sound of footsteps filled the air.
"Oh, my God. Pharaoh!" Tea yelled, rushing over to her husband. "Are you alright?"
"Daddy, please don't leave me!" Melissa sobbed, holding Yami's hand. A bright light appeared from the ceiling, and Guardian Eatos appeared from the light, floating down towards the Pharaoh.
"Your soul is now free, my Pharaoh," he whispered, Yami breathing his last. The Pharaoh's soul flew into Guardian Eatos.
"I'm free," Yami said, looking down at his daughter. "Remember that I love you, and I'm always with you." Melissa nodded, tears staining her cheeks. Even though she was upset, she still smiled. Yami flew up into the light, and disappeared.
Pretty sad, eh? Next chapter, someone returns from the dead. Who will it be? Find out!
