Chapter 1

Chip and Xander walked out of the Rock Proium together. It was 8:30 at night and they had just finished closing up. It was busy all day and they were glad to be free for the night and the next day, which they had off.

"It feels so good to be free," Chip said happily as he stepped on the sidewalk with Xander.

"It sure does," Xander agreed, walking behind Chip and wrapping his arms around Chip's waist. Chip stopped walking so Xander could kiss his neck.

"Xander, can't that wait until we get back to your place?" Chip asked, not trying to stop his boyfriend from kissing him.

"I know. I just want a snack before the meal," Xander whispered into Chip's ear. Chip chuckled at Xander's words.

"Xander, don't be that way. After all, if you snack too much, then you won't have room for the all-you-can-eat buffet." Xander laughed, uncrossed his arms, and placed them on around Chip.

"You do have a point," he agreed, kissing Chip again.

"Let's get into my car and get going," Xander suggested to Chip, who nodded his head in agreement. They walked over to Xander's car. Chip went to the passenger side and Xander went to the driver's side. They stood there for a moment as Xander searched for his keys.

"That's strange. I thought I left my keys in my pocket," Xander said as he patted himself down, looking for them. Chip leaned on top of the car and watched Xander.

"Maybe you dropped them."

Xander stopped searching and thought about it. "It's possible... But where could they--?" Xander realized where the keys were and slapped his head. "Crap. I was in such a hurry I forgot them in the keyhole."

Chip chuckled a little. "Not thinking with the head on your shoulders again."

Xander smiled and walked around the car, then grabbed Chip's head and kissed him. "I'll go get the keys and I when I get them we're going to my apartment so I can punish you for that little comment."

An evil grin spread across Chip's face. "I look forward to it."

Xander leaned in and gave him Chip a long kiss. "I'll be back," he assured Chip, then kissed him one last time. Xander let go of Chip's head and walked away.

It took Xander a short period of time to reach the door. In it were his long-lost keys. "Ha, found you," he told the keys as he pulled them out. He held them tight into his hands and began to walk back to his car. All along the way Xander silently cursed himself over losing precious time with his boyfriend over a stupid mistake like that.

'Oh, well. The keys are found, so I can forget about this and get back to my car and Chip. Then we can go to my place and--"

A shocking sight interrupted Xander's thoughts. Chip was gone.

"Chip? Where did you go?" Xander asked out loud, hoping that the missing Chip would answer. But no one answered. Xander looked around. 'I wonder where he is?' Xander asked himself. He was only gone for a short period of time and he couldn't go far. Plus, there wasn't any other store or restaurant nearby that either of them liked.

Maybe Chip was playing a joke on him. He was probably hiding behind the other side of the car to jump out of nowhere just to scare him. Xander quickly dismissed that thought. The other side of the car was on the street and Chip would be crazy to hide there to scare Xander, only to be hit by a car.

Xander was still thinking when he noticed something shiny on the ground next to the car. Xander walked to it and bent down to picked it up. It was a chain with a circle on it and an imprint of Xander's astrological sign of Taturs (which, Xander still wasn't sure, may have had something to do with the reason why he was the Minotaur of the Mystic Force.) He unknowingly touched the spot on his chest where he had something like Chip had, but it had Chip's astro sign of Libra. When he saw this he knew something was wrong, as neither of them went anywhere without them. Xander was now feeling a little panic surging up in the pit of the stomach.

Xander began to search the area for anything that might stand out. The spot the Xander parked in wasn't in any special area. The only thing around was a tea shop, sign shop, and a dating service. Xander knew Chip wouldn't be in any of those places. He leaned against his car and began to think, making sure to push down the feeling the panic that had begun to rise.

Xander soon crossed his arms and looked down. It was there that he noticed something under his car, so he reached down to grab it. Xander realized that it was a sword that the Hidiacs use. Instantly, he knew what happened. Xander took out his Mystic Morpher and flipped it opened.

[The Underworld...

Necrolai walked into the chamber with six Hidiacs dragging a beaten Chip between them. "Imperious, I brought you the Yellow Mystic Ranger, as you requested." Imperious stood up from his throne and walked down toward the group. He was pleased to see this part went well.

"Good job, Necrolai," Imperious said as he placed his fan under Chip's chin. He lifted it and forced him to look at him. Chip glared at the mummy for a second.

"Take him to my throne and tie him good next to it," he ordered the Hidiacs holding him. They did as they were told and they dragged Chip to the throne and threw him on the ground. Then one of the Hidiacs produced some black rope and all six of the attacked him and began to tie up a struggling Chip. Imperious laughed a little. So far the first step was done now they needed to move onto the second.
