As the group approached the entrance, three Stalfos appeared to block their way. The Master Sword made short work of them. "Once we're inside, things are going to get a lot harder, so get ready." Link was determined to finish this fight, and not die trying.

Each member of the group nodded individually. "Hai!"
Syaoran turned to Tomoyo and Meilin. "If things get rough, you two need to go home."
"But--" they protested together.
"But I have this sword! I can help you guys!" moaned Meilin.
"But I need to videotape Meilin-chan's first battle!" moaned Tomoyo.
Sakura and Syaoran shared a look. "Meilin-chan's first battle?"
Tomoyo smiled. "Well, Sakura-chan, you've already captured all the Clow Cards and confessed your love to Syaoran-kun. There isn't that much left to film. You're really growing up!" Her eyes sparkled wistfully as she recalled the moments they'd shared. "But Meilin-chan just learned how to use a sword, and she still needs to find her number one. There's still so many more exciting things to film! Meilin-chan's magical adventures are just beginning!" Her eyes sparkled even brighter at the thought of this. "Plus, Meilin-chan actually likes being in front of the camera, and there's so much I could do with her hair, and she's a designer's dream when it comes to costuming, and--"
She stopped abruptly to see the group's eyes on her.
"Thanks, Daidouji-san," Meilin said in a businesslike fashion. "You're officially hired as my manager now!" She laughed.
Tomoyo smiled shyly. "Please, call me Tomoyo."
"All right, Tomoyo-chan." Meilin grinned. "This could be the start of a beautiful friendship!"

Inside the castle, thing turned to chaos. Monsters were attacking from all directions including up and down (certain enemies foll from the ceiling or come up from the floor.) The group was hard pressed to stay together, but they eventually formed a tight circle of sorts, and moved forwards in unison. "Once we get to the higher levels, there will be a bunch of Darknuts and Iron Knuckles. Ganon wants us to be tired when we face him, but I brought enough potions for everybody, so we'll all be at full strength when the time comes."
HYRULE FIELD
Ganon's army consisted mainly of Tektites, Lizalfos and Bubbles.
"CHARGE!" The cry came from Rusl, who was at the head of Hyrule's army. The opposing forces met with a crash. The battle wouldn't have an apparent winning side for some time.

Meilin certainly knew how to charge. Her precision skills were soon forgotten as she stabbed everything she saw that wasn't one of her friends. Syaoran shook his head at her crude techniques, but he was too busy slashing monsters himself to worry about anyone else. Sakura called up various different Clow Cards in turn, and Kero and Yue resumed their true forms to fly at monsters armed with bursts fire and shards of ice. Tomoyo filmed excitedly from the sidelines. The battle seemed to be going in their favor.

GANON'S CASTLE
The group finally made their way to the main staircase. It looked like it would collapse any second, but they went up anyways. An the second floor of the castle, there were a few Moblins and Skultullas, but not enough to be any sort of threat. The third floor was where things started to get confusing. From the third floor all the way to the fifth floor, the castle had been transformed into a giant maze. There were false floors and walls, and Monsters behind every corner. There were also keys scattered throughout the labyrinth that were needed to open doors that led towards the exit. Link knew what was on the sixth and seventh floors, but he didn't say anything.
HYRULE FIELD
The battle was going nowhere fast, for every monster slain two more would take it's place, and another Goron would appear to even the odds. The process was becoming slightly repetitive when a battle horn sounded. From the north, an army of forest children who hadn't left the woods for centuries was moving towards the battle. Armed with various specially crafted weapons, the Kokiri joined the fray. The monsters were thrown off by the sudden reinforcements (children, no less) and were losing ground.
BACK AT THE CASTLE
The group had finally navigated the maze and were now at the staircase leading to the sixth floor. Link decided that now was as good a time as ever to give his valuable information.
"The sixth floor is occupied by Stalfos, and they guard the key to Ganon and Majora's Lair. The seventh floor is filled with Darknuts and Iron Kunckles, they are guarding the staircase to said lair. Get ready, you won't have much reaction time."

Toya marched with the other soldiers, wondering how his Yukito was fairing inside the castle. Toya really had no combat experience, but he wanted to help out in any way he could. Plus, if Yuki died in battle, he didn't want to have said he simply watched from the sidelines. Plus, Sakura was in there. It may seem to an outsider like he really hated her, but deep down he wanted the best for his little sister. If he could protect her in any way, he would.

FLOOR SIX
Almost instantly after they entered the room, the group was swarmed. The sheer number of Stalfos threatened to overwhelm the group, but Link managed to thin them out slightly with a spin attack. The new breathing room didn't last very long, but it was enough to turn the tides of the battle. Soon, everyone was cutting down skeleton warriors left and right. Everyone that is, except for Meilin, who was only slashing up. and down. Not very efficient when you're surrounded, but a good number of the enemies managed to get in her way. after what seemed like an hour, the room was finally cleared. Malon picked up the large key and tossed it to Link, who put it in his magical infinite carrying space. The staircase leading to the seventh floor looked very intimidating. It was carpeted, but the carpet wasn't very mitigating considering the statues lining either side of the staircase, any of which could be enchanted to come alive when they walked by. This time, Kero and Yue led the way, each using a magical shield to flank them, so that all the enchanted statues would be activated and easy to spot. There were no enchanted statues however, and the group cautiously made their way towards Ganon's toughest minions.

Sakura advanced upward behind her guardians, staff out in front of her in a protective way. Fifty-two Clow Cards were hidden in the folds of her costume, fifty-two Cards she was ready to spring out and bring to life. After her followed her love, Syaoran, holding his sword in much the same way. After a few quickened steps, however, he was at Sakura's side. She moved over on the stairwell to let him beside her. Syaoran muttered in her ear, so softly that if Sakura had been an inch further away she wouldn't have hear him.
"Stay strong, Sakura... if you die, I die too."
Sakura's resolve broke, and she turned violently to face him, her eyes wide. "D-die?! We're not going to die in there, Syaoran! We're NOT!"
Her voice was hysterical. Syaoran noted for the first time that Sakura was deeply afraid. He was afraid too, more than he would ever say, but instead of letting on, he smiled.
"Don't worry, Sakura. I'm sure you'll be all right."
Sakura tried to smile. "I'm sure... I'm sure I'll be all right," she repeated, wishing it were true.

HYRULE FIELD
More monsters had arrived and had managed to break the circle of soldiers. There were not enough however, to keep the circle broken for long and they were soon surrounded once more. The battle seemed to be won when suddenly, a flaming dragon burst from the ground. Volvagia was back, and the Megaton Hammer was in the Castle.

Sakura screeched at the top of her lungs. A dragon! And one on fire, too! She'd faced a dragon when fighting the Create Card, but that dragon had given her comfort in knowing that it was a product of Naoko's imagination. This dragon was painfully real.
"Stay back, kiddos!" Kero fearlessly flew forward to fight the dragon, hoping it wouldn't be too strong for him to fight.
Yue breathed out, annoyed. "Cerberus seems to think we can just sit back and watch him win the battle for us. He always was naive. And softhearted. He'll never come out of here alive."
The last part was quiet, almost a whisper, but Sakura's eyes grew wider as she heard them and she let out an involuntary squeak. Syaoran unconciously put a hand on her shoulder. Tomoyo turned with worried eyes.
"Don't listen to the moon dude, Sakura-chan!" Meilin cried, trying to lift Sakura's spirits by speaking in a voice bursting with confidence. "That stuffed animal's got spunk! He can do it!"
"'Moon dude'?" sniffed Yue. "Who are you again?"
"Meilin is my cousin," said Syaoran defensively.
Meilin smiled tauntingly. It was odd how two days earlier she would have added, "AND FIANCEE!" as proudly as she could. Now, she wasn't sure if she would have added it for anyone. Syaoran liked Sakura, Link liked Malon. Tomoyo was a good friend... hmm... "Hai, that's me! So don't cross me, Moon Dude, 'cause I got a swo-ord!"
((yue is talking for the first time in the whole story xD))

Link stood on the staircase, his mind moving too slow for the situation. We have to keep moving, but we can't just leave Cerberus to fight Volvagia. Link didn't see a way out of losing a member of the team. Just then, out the window, he caught a glimpse of six bright lights heading towards the battlefield. When the lights arrived, they faded to reveal the six sages. The solution presented itself instantly. Link used Farore's Wind in a slightly different manner than usual. He warped the Megaton Hammer to Darunia, who link knew could use it to help defeat Volvagia. "Let's go, Cerberus has backup now."

Sakura gripped her staff harder than usual. Without meaning to, Yue had sliced her to the core. "Ano, ano, Link-san... are you sure that Kero-chan will be all right?"
Syaoran tried his best to smile. "Sakura, Cerberus is a 300-year-old magical beast. I'm sure he'll fair just fine."
Sakura nodded, hardening her resolve. "If you say so, Syaoran, let's go."

"Besides, as long as Darunia has the Hammer, Volvagia doesn't stand a chance." Link smiled and led the band of heroes and heroines to the seventh floor.

Sakura had no idea what Link was saying. In fact, none of them (except for maybe Yue) had heard of anything that ever came out of his mouth. But all of them, even Syaoran, had the utmost trust placed in their tourguide by now. They followed him without question.

FLOOR SEVEN
The sheer number of Darknuts and Iron Knuckles was astounding. Link managed to shake off the shock first and leaped into the crowd. Pieces of armor were flying everywhere, and giant knights were falling to the Blade of Evil's Bane by the second. The rate of defeat for Ganon's minions went up as soon as the rest of the group joined the fight. After what seemed like an eternity, the last Darknut fell and the group was left to stare at the most ominous staircase they had ever seen. Link pulled out Eight bottles filled with blue potion, and passed them out. "Drink these, because this is it, Ganon and Majora are at the top of that staircase."
