"What makes you think we would do something as stupid as that? You may have had a chance against twelve of us but never eighteen of us," said Eriol. Long scowled then smirked. "That is true but I have something that at least two of you want badly," he said holding up his hand. The wind began to blow and a portal opened on the sand. Inside they could see Nadesiko and Leo struggling.
"Mother," yelled Sakura.
"Let them go," yelled Syaoran. Long smiled.
"Well for a trade I could do that," he said waving his hand. Nadesiko and Leo disappeared but the portal stayed. "I'll give you sometime to think on that and let you have a chance to capture he last crystal which is conveniently located in my palace," he said.
"Conveniently as in building your palace over it so it would always be in your reach," yelled Kero.
"Well yes," said Long then looked at the six guardians. "I don't really like the fact that your guardians would meddle in our affairs," he said and shot a ball of energy towards the group of guardians who reacted too late and took the blast full on. When the dust cleared they were all in their little forms. All of their energy spent on shielding themselves from the blast. Their owners picked them up and put them in their backs.
"You are a monster Long," yelled Kimari. He looked at her.
"You once was one of my monster Kimari," he told her.
"A mistake we plan on repenting with your life," said Simon.
"We'll see soon won't we?" he asked as he and Kitaka disappeared into the portal which stayed open waiting for them.
"We have to go to get the crystal," said Ryu.
"He will no doubt have traps everywhere," said Koji.
"We have no choice we have to go traps or no," said Jakita.
"Then let's get moving," said Syaoran as he enter the portal the rest when in after him. The found a stone wall at their backs and three corridors in front of them. The crystals were glowing a steady orange/red meaning the crystal was near in one of the three corridors.
"We'll split up into siblings," said Haruna.
"Then two groups take one hall," said Melin the groups nodded and got together. In the end it was Tomoyo, Simon, Eriol and Jakita going down the hall to the right. Melin, Ling, Koji, and Haruna going down the hall to the left. The middle hall went to Syaoran, Ryu, Kimari, and Sakura. The group released their weapons before continuing.

The group shares a last goodbye and went down their halls. They wanted to proceed cautiously and quickly wanted to find the crystal. And get the journey over.
Right Hall
Tomoyo stopped everyone once they had gone a little ways into the hall. She smacked herself on the head.
"Why don't we use the Stealth Crystals to sneak up on what ever Long has to throw at us?" she asked. Eriol nodded and they release the crystals. Once they were invisible they kept going. Soon they came to a dark room it was practically pitch black. They strained their eyes to see anything. With no lock they couldn't see anything. I'll use my light card to give us some light Eriol thought to them. The Light Card brightened the room and blinded the eight evil spirits inside. The evil in them began to yield to the power of the Light card. Simon and Jakita began to use their weapons to help as Tomoyo bound the evil spirits with her vines. Simon shot one with a purifying arrow. Jakita began reflecting the attacks of the spirits or sucked them into her mirror. Tomoyo bound many more and Eriol finished the rest with the Light Card. When they were finished they recalled the crystals power.
"That wasn't so bad," said Jakita helping Eriol stand straight on one side as Tomoyo helped on the other.
"You spoke too soon," said Simon as the room began to rotate. The teens fought to stand.
"He used the spirits to make us let down what ever defense we had," said Tomoyo as they were flung into the wall. Pieces of stone wrapped around their whole bodies holding them fast unto the wall before they were enclosed in the stone wall. The room now looked like no one had even entered.
Left Hall
Melin and her group had decided at first not to walk but to sprint until they found the crystals busting into any kind of trouble with fists and feet flying. They were going down the hall.
"The crystal just got a little darker," Melin said to the three behind her.
"That means were getting closer to Long," said Haruna.
"Is it good to see a light at the end of the tunnel?" Koji asked.
"In this case I would say so," Ling replied to his new brother. Koji smiled faster. The group ran into the room and into the center with their back to each other. Inside the room was nothing but a door. As Ling went closer to the door the crystal darkened to red even more. "The crystal says it is this way," said Ling as he touched the door knob. The floors began to shake and the door disappeared into the wall before the other three began to close in on them.
"Just great the old closing room trick," said Haruna.
"Maybe we can hold it back," said Melin looking to Ling. He nodded.
"Wind come to my aid," he yelled thrusting his sword up in the air. Wind began to spin about the room pushing against the wall. The harder Ling pushed the less the walls would move. All of a sudden a crystal tube came down encasing the group inside. Every attack they made would be absorbed into the crystal. After a few moments the crystal began to sink under ground with them in it. The walls went back to their normal position and the room looked as if no one had entered.
Middle Hall
Sakura, Kimari,
