Note: Look who has come back from the grave… If you're wondering where I based the three bosses fighting style, here's the little note… Hikki, the mistress of illusion, is based on Final Fantasy Tactics' Time and Yin-Yang Magic. Yoru, the Mage Mistress, is a combination Black and Summon Magic and Ren, the sword master is a combination of Black Knight and Lancer.

Chapter 6: Be Strong
"Say hello to your grave, Son Goku…" Hikki said as the mist filled up the whole dungeon. Goku rushed forward to punch her but when he did, Hikki just disappeared.
"Where did she go?" Goku looked around and suddenly, he heard a scream, "LIRIN!!" He ran towards the direction of the scream but he was too late, Lirin lay in the mist, bleeding to death.
"Goku… Onegai… Be strong…" Lirin whispered in her final breath.
"Lirin… Speak to me… You aren't dead yet… Lirin…"
"She's dead… You've got no one to speak to now, Son Goku…" Hikki reappeared in front of Lirin's corpse.
Away from the illusionist's mist, Lirin stood watching Goku punch thin air while Hikki stood away from the mist.
"Everything's just an illusion, but how do I tell Goku that?" Lirin sighed. Summoning up all her strength, she yelled, "GOKU!! It's just an illusion!! Be strong!!"
Goku perked up when he heard Lirin's voice, "Lirin!! Where are you?!?"
"I'm outside the illusion! The mist isn't covering the whole dungeon! It's only affecting you!"
"Help me out here! Go beat up that stupid illusionist!"
"Hai!!" Lirin grinned as she watched the illusionist. She rushed forward towards Hikki to give her a Lirin Punch, Hikki disappeared before Lirin's eyes, but Lirin was certain Hikki was there, so she performed a combo in the empty space until one of her punches landed on the illusionist's gut. When Hikki was damaged, the illusion left the two.
"Iku!! Nyoibo!!" Goku grinned as he summoned his staff to come crashing down on Hikki. She effectively dodged it, but it was countered by one of Lirin's combos.
"Kuso… You found a way to counter my illusion…" Hikki flicked the blood drawn on her lip, "I guess I'll have to hurt you with the best of my illusions!" She raised her arms to the air and chanted, "Mindless, spiritless, hear the immutable beat... Paralyze!"
"Nanda! I can't move!!" Lirin struggled.
"Kuso…" Goku struggled as well, "I won't lose to a witch like YOU!!" As he summoned his will, the paralyze spell broke.
"If Goku can break this spell, I won't lose to you as well!!" Lirin joyfully said as she also broke Hikki's spell.
"Ha ha ha… That was just phase one… Time has come... Crash down on the wicked! Meteor!" Hikki summoned.
"Hayaku… We'll have to kill her before meteor is summoned…" Lirin said to Goku.
"Un… Let's do it… Touryaa!" Goku jumped to give Hikki a strong combo with his nyoibo. Lirin quickly followed with her own combo finished off with a blast of the magic her brother taught her.
"Is she dead?"
"I guess so… Her neck looks broken…" Goku said as he bent down to check on Hikki, "Well then, let's go find that sorcerer…"
But before the two could escape the dungeon, chains brought them to the wall.
"Damn! That sorcerer must have enchanted this lair…" Goku growled.
