When pushed to the limit, the nine mercenaries escape to Equestria leaving all their problems behind and starting anew.

With no way back, they must adapt to their new lives and try to fit in into pony society and they must protect them from the unfinished business they left behind.

I’ve been to places most have never even seen, walked on the shoulders of the gods and yet, even with all the knowledge I’ve gained over the course of my adventures among the havens, when I met a horse on the moon, it became quite clear that there was a great deal about the universe that is still a mystery to me.

Cloudsdale. Bastion of the Pegasi, linchpin of weather control, home to the Wonderbolts. A magnificent metropolis gracing the skies of Equestria. So what happens when an oblivious human starts stumbling around in a sailplane? As they say, hilarity ensues.

Jack is different. Not from just his age group, but from others as well. Cold, calculating, and tactical are but a few of the words used to describe him.

But when he is thrust into a new world, when he is attacked and nearly left to die by those who stand for love, tolerance, and friendship, what will happen from there?

Plans, power, corruption, and the seeds of a dark new age will be sewn. For such schemes are the ways of those who hide behind masks. Follow the story of Jack, and learn the Markings of a King.

Alright... huh, who are you people?
Oh, you're here to listen to mien stories?
Don't you mean, our stories?
Quiet Samuel, I am in control right now. Okay, so I must tell you, zombie fighting isn't as fun as I zought it vould be.
Yeah, no ****.
Now now, zis is ze description, ve can't have svearing now, can ve? Anyvay, I need to get out of zis realm, Samuel is in too much danger here, und, by extension, me! I have built a teleporter out of spare parts to take us to a new universe zat is hopefully, zombie free, hopefully. Vish us luck.
Oh dear, this can't end well.

*This not to be taken seriously, I really just pulled this out of my ass. Minimal effort really.*

SG-1 is sent through the Stargate as a forward scouting team for an extended scientific mission to P3X-597. Arriving in a long abandoned castle, the team heads out for the nearest village. As they approach, it becomes clear that the locals aren't exactly human. Their contact with the pony-like aliens goes well, conveniently timed alongside a celebration of the sun, until an over-the-top, hammy, evil pony appears to ruin the festivities.

A Stargate SG-1 crossover.

It had been months since the Elements of Harmony failed to defeat Nightmare Moon, and a resistance force had prepared the perfect plan to finally defeat her. But just before they could pull it off, the unthinkable happens:

Someone else beats them to it.

The new alien overlord known as "Mental" seems better than Nightmare at first, but the ponies quickly learn that the reality is that he is far, far worse.
Out of options, the former resistance, headed by Twilight Sparkle, forms a desperate plan. They need a hero; someone who is brave, someone who is capable...
They need someone who is serious.

In Equestria, humans serve the ruling pony class. Their lack of magic makes it near impossible to survive on their own, and so they depend on their rulers to protect and help them, and put a roof over their heads. But on Earth, and in many other solar systems, their strength is the pinnacle of hope, as they assist those they can in their frantic search for the ones who came before.

Near the edge of the humans' empire, The USSF Monarch stumbles upon Pony kind on Tango 126, one of the many targets during their hunt for the Precursors. Their curiosity is peaked, and John Punch, a high ranking Elite, is sent in disguised as one of the many Human occupants on the planet, to learn of their culture, and the Precursors' presence on this planet.

Now the respected veteran must face the social challenges of being thrust into a gender reversed, pony dominated society.

During the war, back on earth, Avengers decided to help the war. The war was mainly about Americans and Russians. Tony thought that he does not need to stay in the Avengers. Avengers who were supposed to protect the planet was destroying the planet. So, Tony decided to go to the other universes and help them out from rising evils. And it has been more than 14 years of doing so. He helped out Asguard but it was too late. But instead, he got a blessed gift from Odin. He gave him their ancestor's Artifact that was never been revealed, and passed away. He grew more powerful every time, and started to travel almost every multi-verse he can reach. But after he take down so many enemies, he wanted to stop. No... retire. He grew old. He went back home to have vacations. But... Something has gone wrong....

Some of the categories has been changed.

Love is the most sacred of magics, possessed by all but commanded by few. It is the driving force behind life in Equestria, the lifeblood of pony civilization.

But when a new kind of magic arrives in Equestria, it is up to its bearer, Twilight Sparkle, to decide its fate...
or perhaps it's up to the magic to decide hers.
