A Giant Death Robot from the great and powerful Persian empire, is sent to Equistria.

This is going to be fun.

(Crossover with Civilization 5 if you didn't know)

(Also if you didn't know, Chrysalis is a military genius and not a dumbass)

(Also Cadence is dumb as a rock, just putting that out there)

Jacob Samuel Fischer is a strong military pilot flying in the Earth Defense fleets. After a pitched battle between a terrorist leader and he, Jake's ship hits some space debris during his retreat and crashes in a foreign world. As he took his first steps onto this new world he realized his ship was unusable, getting home would not be so easy. But as he looked at the world around him it seemed familiar as he traveled he came across a town, one that he could only recognize as Ponyville.

note: this is my first Fiction, both me and my editor are doing our best and hopping to update this thing whenever we can

hope you all enjoy the story

Private Crawford is Lost, after a failed military expiriment catpults him into an unknown land he finds his life has changed forever, will he find his way home? Will he Stay in this strange place?

DARPA, the Pentagon's team of mad scientists, have cooked up something interesting. A portal to another dimension? Why? Better question- why not? Somehow sensing a military application from this, generals from around the world cobble together a task force to go investigate this new land and mark sites for later exploitation. Backed up by the fury of the world's modern military forces, they launch their operation into this strange realm. When they discover a bright, happy universe full of talking ponies, they realize the folly of what their mission is. How will Equestria react to people whose confessed profession is being expert fighters? Matter of fact, how will Equestria react to PEOPLE?

The Vanguard of Hell. Humanity's mightiest military as of 3182 Third Age (BC, or Second Age, ended in 6047 BC, and the year after was 1 Third Age, for reference). Their massive ships and their powerful, armored Vanguard Marines prove more than a sturdy defense against the alien hordes that want nothing more than to destroy us. When a Vanguard Mega-Cruiser, the VONS Ram Of Your Gates, crash lands on Equestria, drawing the attention of the hostile S'riiv'ya Empire, the confused human soldiers and the even more confused pony residents must learn to work side by side if either are to make it out alive.
Also, what the Vanguard Marines look like:

A suicide-mission turns first contact when a skeleton crew and their eager captain land smack dab in the middle of Canterlot. To Princess Celestia, it's an opportunity to make a valuable ally and a new friend, just as long as she can trust them. Enter seven Equestrian ambassadors: the six ponies and one baby dragon hoof-picked by Celestia herself to observe and report their findings on what really is beyond Equestria's skies. After all, Celestia can't be everywhere.

Unfortunately for them, Equestria just so happens to be a bright red target on every star-map in the galaxy, and a peaceful tour led by a veteran of a pseudo-mercenary military known as the Wing quickly becomes a race against time to save Equestria, the worlds beyond, and possibly the entire galaxy.

That's only if they can save themselves first, of course.

Though this is technically a crossover with an existing universe, you won't find it anywhere, so there's no crossover tag for it anymore. It is primarily written for myself and a few friends of mine. Also as a note, it is largely first person and told from the perspective of one of the "human" characters - though technically he's an alien. There are a few exception chapters, but if you don't like that idea, then this was your warning. [EDIT]: There will be more third-person scenes following rewrites to the earlier chapters.

If you have critiques, comments, theories, or anything, please comment, favorite, and like. Etcetera. Note: Homebound takes place between seasons two and three of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, which is owned by Hasbro, and anything pony belongs to them.

HIATUS EDIT: No, it's not dead. It's just hard to write with what I've had going on, though I am still working on both the next chapter and the quality-control rewrites for the earlier chapters. I /will/ provide links to the earlier chapters, but I've gotten a lot of negative and non-constructive comments because of them, and I feel like I should rewrite them anyway. On the bright side, the official Wingverse tabletop is in full swing with my lovely players, Plebeian, Laichonious, SilentBelle, and some other fourth guy.

tl;dr: it is on.

Cancel edit: Unfortunately, real life took over six years ago as I got ready to graduate highschool and go to college. That, and I and my friends drifted away from the fandom at large. While I don't follow MLP anymore, I look on it fondly. I however managed to eek out one extra chapter and a large rebooted chapter with the purpose of making it more Equestria centered. And also better. This story helped me practice and while I certainly wouldn't cite it to my professors, the skills I learned from making what I did helped prepare me for my English degree and current career.

The Zone is friend to none, and enemy to all. To a Bandit, it is the proper way for their lives to gain the power they lacked in their previous lives. To the Military Man, it was something to be controlled, to be feared. To the STALKER, it was home.

But for a single creature from another plane of existence, the Zone is but the greatest threat in the nature of the world.

There will be war, and they will be right in the middle of it.

- DISCLAIMER -
This work of fiction takes place after Twilight becomes a princess, although almost immediately afterwards. It is a crossover set seven years after the events of Call of Pripyat, the third STALKER game. I will use references to every single game, including the Original Adventure arc.
- END OF DISCLAIMER -

Welcome to a crossover I wanted to do, but never had enough ideas for.
Loosely inspired by See the Zone and Survive. Uses original characters and three of the minor characters, as most of the main characters have either moved on or died in the storyline of Secrets of the Zone.

SGT Jennings dropped into New Mombasa to take over a Covenant cruiser. When a lucky Anti-Aircraft shot takes away his ability to control his pod, he careens end-over-end into a slipspace portal, and emerges in Equestria.

Be warned, there is more cursing in the beginning then there will be later, due to an all-military environment in the beginning.

This story is a sequel to When the Man Comes Around

The eighteenth story in The Journey of Graves.

As the new year dawns, the top four cadets from Equestria's Royal Military Academy set eyes on enlisting in the elite peacekeeping force known as the marshals. After all, when you're the best in you class, it's obvious you belong with the best, right?

Not exactly. See, it's one thing to do well in school. It's another thing entirely to pass a test concocted by Gunmetal Graves himself. Strap in, cadets. Class is now in session.

Equestrian Military Unit File
TOP SECRET

Unit: 1st Special Operations Group
Sub-units: 1st Tactical Fighter Squadron 'Starbirds'
1st Armoured Company 'Steel Strikers'
1st Special Operations Platoon 'Ghosts'

Unit overview: The 1st SOG is a elite special forces unit that uses extremely advanced weaponry and tactics to accomplish operations that regular units would find nearly impossible. It is split into four sub-units that often operate independently from each other, though often lending support to the others. An interesting fact worth mention is that the unit's equipment, as well as half the personnel, are of alien origins. They call themselves 'humans', and all became ponies upon arrival in Equestria, which they claim is a complete accident. After arrival, they eventually became part of the Equestrian military, and have trained ponies to use their surplus equipment becoming the 1st SOG. Since their inception, they have distinguished themselves, successfully eliminating two rampaging dragons and three hydras.

Takes place after first four episodes of season one.
Cover is by Buckweiser on DeviantArt, I don't know him personally but go check his stuff out. It's pretty sweet…How? Mouse over the pic genius!

So...I am currently in the process of writing a different version of this story. Its gonna be a fair while before I post it, but it has the similar but heavily revamped plot written in a completely different style. So keep an eye out for that.
