People went into uproar as I crossed my arms causing slight pain that only caused annoyance in my rib area. "Calm down calm down everyone…"

"What do you mean calm down?! We are all going to die!" a random man yelled.

"Which is why we are taking precautions and letting you all know this to get prepared for when they come as well as to force your ponies to give out information."

"So we done?" he nodded as people started to leave but the guard stopped me and Ben. We waited as the man from the podium approached.

"Pleasure to meet you Mr. Pendragon."

"Don't call me by my last name… Lance is alright." He nodded. "So why are we still here?"

"Because there might be a few ponies you want to buy that have arrived today." I raised my eyebrow. "Follow me and I will explain." I nodded as we started to walk down a hall. "Recently the output of ponies in Equestria, their planet, have increased greatly… what I haven't told was that it was ponies that started the rebellion and humans agree in the process and are assisting them as they take the full responsibilities for what occurs. Making it seem like the ponies helping them are being forced to help them…"

"When was this?"

"Approximately 5 months ago…" he stated. "And it's been getting worse…"

"Okay then. I will be sure to be careful." He gave a gleeful smile. "Anything else?"

"Ah yes! The recent ponies that had come in one of them had an alert on them for you." He said. "But something happened…"

"What?" I asked knowing who the pony was.

"an hour from here they were attacked last night… due to ponies being killed quite quickly from being over worked so a new batch was coming in… when they didn't come in this morning we sent out a search team… and all the ponies there except for one were knocked out… we waited till earlier to contact you so you didn't have to make the trip twice and waste gas."

"Thank you for your consideration." He smiled as we reached a single cell with a total of 20 ponies inside of it. "I'm going to need a bigger house…"

"If you desire if you have any house plans the recent construction team have increased their building speed with the help of unicorns." I nodded.

"Thank you." I crossed my arms. "So these are all of them?"

"Yes. We figured you might want to be the first to see the ponies…" I looked into the tank carefully. "We have quite a few ponies in here but there were supposed to be 27 ponies."

"So 7 of them joined whoever helped and killed the humans transporting them?" he nodded as I began my search. "Where's the one with the alert?" he pointed to one of the smaller ponies who was also white like Rarity but had two different colors of pink in it. "Okay so that's one…" I began to look through them all. "What's the suggestion?" he pulled out a tablet much like the man's tablet from yesterdays.

"This bunch is actually one of the better bunches. Several musicians… flight specialists… high level mages… I would suggest Spitfire and an Octavia." He stated.

"Which one are they?" he first pointed to one of a group of three. One being male and the other female. All three of them appeared to be close friends. "Take the three of them… the other?" he pointed towards a group of two. One was brown while the other was white. "They seem close… both of them as well…"

"Anymore?" I looked around for anymore that were interesting but I found none.

"Nope. Take the 6 and bring them to get clothes. Whatever they want and if they have belongings give them to them." he nodded as he motioned over several guards and started to talk to them before they walked off to do what they needed. "Now I believe I need to get a mark for all of them."

"Ah yes… most go with branding but I think that's not the case?" I nodded. "Then what do you desire?"

"A necklace. A black duel ended lance is the symbol for the farm I live on." He nodded.

"How many?" he asked as I started to count them all up.

"I believe this would make 14 total I think. If not I will call in the request." He nodded.

"Then expect them sent to your address in several days." I nodded as I watched the ponies all get pulled out while some looked down submissively while others tried to fight back a little but were shocked a little.

"Do you guys have a cover for my truck that I could use?"

"You don't prefer your pony's wet do you." He said with a smirk. "Understandable… although I will say you are probably one of the nicer owners I have seen and met." I smirked at that.

"Thank you very much." He nodded before he finally saw my bandaged leg.

"What happened may I ask?" he asked me with a worried look.

"Gang members tried to steal one of my ponies. He got me and kicked me out of the alley but thankfully she figured out how to fire my gun and put two bullets into him."

"Then you are a lucky one indeed. Shall I let you know if there are any more interesting ponies?" he asked.

"Yeah… ill come once a week and check them out if you could keep them in a separate area." He nodded. "So anything I should expect from the new six?"

"well one of them prefers classical music, which is the one named Octavia, another prefers blasting rock music which was the one with Octavia, Spitfire is a flying specialist and is quite hot headed so expect some difficulty from her, the female with Spitfire is willing to do whatever Spitfire asks her to do so she will most likely follow, and finally the third one of the group loves pie…" I chuckled a little as I smiled. "They should be done getting clothes if you would follow me."

I nodded as I followed after him until we reached the same large room from before as I soon spotted the mares and stallion. Even from here I could see that the fire maned mare had a Mid B breast size, the light blue one had a low B, the white one had a low C, and finally the brown one had a D. they were all finished as they seemed to be looking around for who bought them as they were being guarded by well guards. She appeared to be

As I approached I started to take in what they were all wearing. The brown mare had on a white and black empire waist dress with a pink ribbon around her waist and neck. She also had on simple black high heels. She also seemed to have a Cello case on her back. She appeared to be 5 feet and 3 inches tall.

The white one with her had on a white muscle shirt with a black zip up hoodie which was open with strings to tighten the hood. She also had on jean shorts which were well shorts that were jeans with a belt that wasn't even looped around her waist in a slant. She also seemed to have on sneakers that were white that said Dubstep in black on both sides of both shoes. She also had on shades. She appeared to be 5 feet and 1 inch tall.

The flame haired mare seemed to have on a black muscle shirt with a dark camouflage short sleeve combat jacket with slightly baggy green camouflage pants as well as black combat boots. She seemed like a badass and had on silver aviators to boot… she appeared to be 5 feet and 5 inches tall.

The light blue mare seemed to take the same route kind of except the muscle shirt was white with artic camouflage jeans and jacket with also white combat boots as well. She appeared to be 5 feet and 4 inches.

The stallion had on the same attire except everything was a desert camouflage… making me feel like they were in the army and they could easily kill me with a simple glare. He appeared to be 5 feet and 8 inches tall.

And finally we have the little one had on a slight pink, which bordered on white in my book, skater dress with slight pink sandals as well.

"Just let us go home for buck's sake!" I heard the flame haired mare yell.

"Um… Lance… you sure you want them all?" Ben asked. I had forgotten he was here.

"Might be a good idea Ben. You never know." I stated as the man with us put a hand to an earpiece and smiled and looked at us.

"You will be happy to know that the cover has been put onto your truck." I smiled.

"Then get them over to the truck. Here's the key to the back." He took the key as he walked over to the group as we stayed hidden before they moved away with the flame haired mare still giving some resistance.

"I feel like Rainbow Dash is related to that mare."

"Cause their both stubborn?" Ben asked hopefully.

"Nope… cause they both got a hate for humans." He gulped as his pager went off, yes he uses a pager.

"Uh oh. Apparently there was a small bombing in the north of town. Suspected to be the rebels showing up." He looked at me quickly as the man came back over. "Is there a car I can borrow?"

"Why?" he asked.

"Cause I got here in his truck and they need me. Cutting my vacation short." He snapped his fingers as a guard ran over.

"Take him to a truck that he can borrow." He nodded as him and the man ran off. "Follow me please to your truck." I nodded. After several minutes we reached it as I could see my truck shaking a little. "Before they brought here we gave you a free speaker so you could hear what they were saying in case you took them anywhere. It's two way as well."

"You didn't have to do that."

"You're a nice man so I would like to take precautions after what was told today." He said as he gave me the key to the back of the truck.

"Fine. I'll be back in a week from now." he nodded as I got into the truck and turned it on. Immediately hearing the voices.

"When we arrive we overpower the one who got us and get out of there." I pulled out of the underground parking lot.

"But what if they have a weapon?" I smirked a little. You have no idea.

"Then we risk our lives to get them! I rather die than be a slave." I narrowed my eyes. This was going to be a long… and painful drive due to my leg.

After about 20 minutes I reached the house as I backed the back of the truck so it was up against the porch. Pulling out my pistol as a just in case and finding a full mag already in it I got out to immediately get wet I ran into the house to find them all lounging around the living room and dining room. "Come on… I need help with the six."

"Six?!" Rainbow Dash yelled as I nodded. "Just who the buck are you?!"

"A man who hates his last name. Rarity get over here cause I need you here at the door." She nodded as I propped the door open as little rain got in as I approached the back. "Alright you six I'm letting you all into my house."

"Buck you!" I heard the flame haired mare yell as I sighed.

"Please don't make this hard on me…" I unlocked the back as I motioned for the ponies inside the house to stay out of site which they did. When I threw open the back I immediately pointed my pistol into there as they froze with fear. "Little one you come out first." I asked as I pulled out the ramp as she nodded and walked down the steps… soon reaching the door there was a loud squeal as I watched with a smile as she was picked up by rarity. Smiling I lowered my weapon. "Get inside. You don't want to be in a truck in this weather."

I said this before I entered the house to see them all staring confused but happy. "They called me because of her you know. I got the other five cause I thought screw it… they might be friends of all of you and we are already planning on getting a new house." In soon walked the five as all the ponies stared in shock. "Get into the living room all of you." They all walked in, also rainbow Dash which surprised me, before I walked in and stood near the TV. "This concerns all of you… as well as me…"

"What happened?" Applejack asked.

"Apparently people are being killed… as well as ponies…" they all grew wide eyed. "The center thought that there would be spies among those that own ponies so they warned us all of that."

"What about the new 5?" Rainbow Dash asked with a frowned sneer as three of the new five looked at her with wide eyes. Yep they know her alright…

"Figured screw it… they were a part of a bunch that were ambushed and found knocked out. Which means sleeping arrangements change. Females stay upstairs and males stay down here on the three couches. I'll have the basement."

"Why?" the flame haired mare ask. I could tell she was still mad. "Why get us?"

"Because I figured why not? Also I figured you might know Rainbow Dash over there who absolutely hates my guts."

"I thank you for helping us. But why are there so many of us?" the brown mare asked putting her case against the wall next to the window.

"He's planning on tearing down the house anyway. So he figured why not." I nodded.

"I was told that the construction team has increased their building speed with the help of unicorns. I'm going to be building two houses connected to the underground river with also electricity." They looked surprised. "I am not a mean guy except if you piss me off. Rarity I think you need to check up on your sister, Rainbow Dash I can tell they know you and you know them so show them around except for the brown mare and white mare."

"The names Octavia." The brown mare said sincerely as she gave a short bow.

"Really Octy? A bow?" the white mare asked with a smile as Octavia glared at her. "The names Vinyl."

"Lance." I said as they both smiled as I looked at the three Pegasus. "And you three?"

"Soarin." The stallion stated.

"Fleetfoot." The light blue one stated with a smile on her face and crossed arms.

"Spitfire." The flame haired Pegasus stated with surprise as I nodded.

"Well then welcome you 5. And you little one?" I asked Rarity's sister.

"Sweetie Belle." She stated happily with tears of joy in her eyes.

"welcome." She nodded as she went back to hugging her sister as I turned to the 5. "Before I went to the center I had ordered things for some of the other ponies so they could do some of their own business here and sell them. If any of you wish to do the same come get me okay?" they all nodded. "Good. Now it's been a long day for everyone so go get some sleep… or stay awake and talk I don't care…"

And there's the chapters! Add another 6 to the house to make 14 ponies… wow could they kill them quickly… onto the riddle!
