DISCLAIMER: I don't own Beyblades, only my OCs and the plot.

       THANK YOU THANK YOU TO THE REVEIWERS: Scarlet Witch 41, toolazytosighin, Raven Star, ruth 4 kai, CTB, SilverWingPheonix.

       In reply to SilverWingPheonix's question about why Kenny only tracked the one blade and not Kai's was because it was a trap, they were only meant to find the one blade which is why the floor caved like that when Amara picked up Rei's blade.

       So without any further ado here is chappie 15! Enjoy

Chapter 15: Make a Deal

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

       "Ouch!" Amara groaned when she finally hit the ground. She landed on something big and lumpy.

         "Get the little twerp off me!" the lump grumbled. A pair of strong arms immediately lifted Amara up.

         "I thought you were gonna catch her?" the man who was holding Amara asked.

         "Well I tried didn't I," the man on the ground argued.

         "Shut up the both of ya," a third man snapped. The third man was carrying an unconscious Kenny over his shoulder. "We gotta get these lil ones to the boss."

         "Put me down," Amara shrieked when the thug put her over his shoulder.

         "No can do lil girly, the boss is wanting to see you."

         "I don't want to see him."

         "Oh well, I think you gotta," the thug stuttered.

         "Would ya shut her up," the other thug, who seemed to be the leader, snapped.

         "Uh right."

         Amara felt something hit her hard on the neck before everything went black.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

         Amara's head was throbbing when she finally started to regain consciousness. Her vision felt all funny and it took her a bit to remember where she was and what had happened. She was in a tall glass cylinder in the middle of a dark room. The only light seemed to be shining right above her as if she were on display.

         "Good morning darling," a deep voice passed through her ears. "Nice to see you've decided to join us."

         "Why am I locked in this thing?"

         "We can't have you running away now can we, princess."

         "Where am I?" Amara found herself asking.

         "It doesn't matter, you won't necessarily be leaving here."

         "What do you want?" Amara continued to pester him with questions, while she racked her brain for a plan.

         "Mmmm, lots of things," the voice came in a low purr. "But first where is your Bitbeast?"

         "You really think I'm going to tell you?" Amara laughed a little. How stupid did he think she was?

         "No I didn't," he answered. "That's why I had to come up with some sort of blackmail so you would willingly hand it over."

         "My friends?"

         "Ah you are a smart one aren't you precious?"

         "Where are they? I want to see them," Amara demanded.

         "Of course you would," he agreed, his voice mocking her. One of the dark corners of the room lit up. There were her friends, each in their own tube similar to the one Amara was being held in. She scanned all the tubes, checking to make sure they were all right. Some of them were screaming and pounding on the glass but it only looked like they were moving their mouths. No words could be heard. Kenny, Mico, Kiki, Tyson, Nicholai, Rei, Max…

         "I'm assuming you're looking for him." Amara turned her head to see another light come on. There was an unconscious Kai, separated from everyone else. He too was in a tube but it was filled with some kind of green liquid. They had stripped him down to his boxers and had wires attached to his body.   

         "You Bastard. Who are you?"  Amara had been talking to the man without seeing where he was or what he looked like.

         "I suppose it may make our dealings easier if you knew who you were dealing with eh?" A tall well-built man with white blonde hair stepped out of the shadows and into Amara's view.

         "Mr. Masterson?" Amara gasped.

         "Actually to you it should be Uncle Miles," he moved closer to the glass.

         "Uncle? What the hell are you talking about?" Amara slammed her fists against the glass.

         "Your father was my younger brother."

         "That makes Cat my…"

         "Cousin of course," Mile finished her thought.

         "How come I know nothing of you? Why are you doing this?" Questions burst out as soon as Amara thought of them.

         "Let me start from the beginning for you darling," Miles clucked. "You've never heard about me because your father and I weren't on speaking terms even before you were born. We were both in love with your mother and she chose him."

         "So you killed them?" Amara lashed out.

         "You were suppose to be in that car too missy," Miles snapped back. Obviously Amara had hit a nerve. "Your mother was suppose to be home sick not you! Her death was an accident."

         "What did you expect to happen once my father and us girls were dead? My mom would just come running into your arms?"

         "That would be easy once you three were gone but she went and there was nothing I could do about it, the bomb blew up and killed her too," Miles voice cracked and it looked to Amara like he was crying.

         "Not exactly a fool proof plan now was it?" Amara's voice was full of mirth.

         "Shut up!" Miles snapped his head up to look at her. His cold green eyes glared at her. "I wasn't finished yet. I mourned your mother's death and did try to kill you the first few years after the accident."

         "Why did you stop?"

         "I ended up with a child on my doorstep from a previous relationship and was a little side tracked for a few years. You were miserable anyway, why not let you suffer for a while."

         "But why now? Why do you want to kill me again?"

         "I never said I wanted to kill you my sweet," he put his hand against the glass where her hand was. Amara moved her hand away when she realized what he was doing.  "You got happy, that's why."

         "What makes you think I'm happy?" Amara asked.

         "You have friends who care about you."

         "That doesn't mean I care about them," Amara raised her chin defiantly. Miles began to laugh.

         "Trying to trick me are you darling? Well it won't work," Miles chuckled.

         "You have no proof that they mean anything to me," Amara looked him in the eyes. Her gaze then moved to her friends. She knew they could hear everything that was being said and she pleaded with them to understand.

         "You want proof princess? I'll show you my proof." He pulled down a screen and a projector began to show images on the wall. He had pictures of her and her friends together and she did look happy. "Here are a few of my personal favorites. Taken only two nights ago. You do jump around don't you?" Miles laughed.

         The picture was of her and Kai on the beach almost kissing and then it jumped to a picture of Nicholai kissing her.

         "This is where we got confused about which guy you really liked but you confirmed that yesterday."

         Next came about three dozen snapshots of her and Kai kissing. The photographer captured every moment of them together until she finally fell asleep in his arms. Amara jerked her eyes away from the screen. She looked to her friends who were a bit stunned themselves. Poor Nicholai was blushing.

         "Now enough of that," Miles turned off the projector and turned his attention back to Amara. "Time to tell you why I'm doing all this, I figure you waited long enough. So I was just going to kill you but that would be too easy. I've gotten a lot meaner in my old age and you've gotten a lot prettier. You look so much like your mother."

         "Is that it then? You want me to replace my mother?" Amara cringed at the thought.

         "I did want that but it would never work out so I decided I wanted to ruin your life for good," Miles answered flatly. "First I want your bitbeast. Pyra is rightfully mine anyway."

         "You can't have her," Amara replied with a fake sympathetic tone. "She won't go to a new master unless she is willingly given up."

         "You think I don't know that?"  Miles rolled his eyes. "That's why you're going to give her to me willingly. I know what you're going to say but you will because I have your friends and your lover."

         Unfortunately for Amara, he was right. She was not really in the position to be making deals with anyone.

         "Give Pyra to me or your friends will all lose their memories of you, starting with lover boy," Miles laid out his threat.

         "If I give Pyra to you then you will let me and my friends go?" Amara was skeptical.

         "Yes."

         Amara was torn. He made it sound so easy but there was no way she could betray Pyra like that. She had been Amara's one true comfort after the accident. But she would be lost without her friends. She couldn't imagine life without them.

         "Where's Pyra?" Miles broke through her thoughts.

         "I don't have her."

         "Where is she then?" Miles was getting impatient.

         "Let me out and I'll get her for you," Amara smiled coyly.

         "Tell me where she is and I'll get her."

         "You won't be able to see her, only I can find the chip." She had him there. If Pyra was ever lost only her master would be able to see her. But Amara hadn't truly lost Pyra. She had entrusted her to Kenny who had no idea he carried her. "Are you going to let me out or not?"

         "I guess I have to."
