Tharos's respect for his opponents incinerated when they refused to acknowledge his customs. He had attempted to treat them with honor and had been spat on. A rage unlike any the grullo mutt had felt before boiled over inside the stallions heart and he vowed silently to make them all pay for their ignorance. However, he had not the time to act on this rage, because, as he moved forwards to make his move for Midas, a chocolate-hued blur tried to barrel into his side from the skies. Thankfully, he had moved fast enough to avoid the brunt of the dive-bombing mare, but he was still knocked off balance by a glancing blow to his hip, and also the sudden quakes of the earth below his hooves. Tharos was further sent rolling by a blow of Apollo's hooves into his side.

The force of it, while not as damaging as it could have been, still knocked the stallion off his feet and sent the stud rolling over towards Ailith. Getting to his hooves quickly, Tharos stood back to back with his herdmate (or side to side, just facing opposite directions) and he tilted his ears back to catch her words as she spat venom at the large draft she had been fighting. He looked back over his shoulder at her and gave a nod. "These ain't but lawless rogues, ma'am. We can take'em. I got yer back if'n you got mine." He snorted before turning his attention back to the two he was battling with. The chocolate chestnut mare who had joined in on the offense had replaced the gold-tinted pegasus who was now focusing on Ailith. Pain throbbed through the grullo's many bruises and scrapes, and it was limiting to his movement, but the stud tried to ignore them. Giving purchase to his agony would only endanger his life even more than it already was.

Discouraged by how hopelessly outnumbered they seemed, Tharos's heart lifted as his attacks found some Targets. Broken or not, Tharos knew the Overo Unicorn would have a sore neck tomorrow, and that the pulled muscles in his most important body part would inhibit his movements even more than what Tharos's wounds wanted to do to him. However much the painted draft blood wanted to attack back, he realized he had been placed on the defensive. At least now with Ailith at his back, the stallion could concentrate on defending his front and maybe getting a few hits in.

Rearing back on his hind legs, the stallion struck out with his hooves and snaked his neck forwards, trying to hit at Apollo with his hooves, or bite the painted stallion with his teeth. He needed to come up with a better idea for how to get Kri out of the air, but his mind was concentrating on attacking Apollo and it was hard to think straight when your brain was filled with a combination of intense pain and smoldering rage. However, the more pressing matter was Archibald. The Tank was turning his battle partner into mincemeat and Tharos had to do something about him.

And so, Since his hindlegs were already facing the black Goliath, Tharos gathered up his legs to his stomach and bucked out, hoping to find purchase in any part of Archibald's body that his hooves could reach. At the same moment, He felt Ailith leave his side and go in for another attack, circling around the tank and making a move to viciously attack his hindquarters. Tharos did not buck once or twice but several times, making it very likely that his hooves would hit Archibald more often than they would miss, and also keeping his attention front ways so as to give Ailith a chance.

Chaos Invasion
Attacks: Tries to rear up and strike at APOLLO from where he stands now at AILITH's side. Also, snakes his neck forwards to bite at APOLLO. Then gathers up his hindlegs and while Ailith moves around to attack him from behind, Tharos bucks out several times at ARCHIBALD, Bronco-style, to keep the giant's attention on him.
Defense: Avoids the brunt of KRI's dive bomb by moving forwards, but is hit in the hip by her wing, and is knocked off his hooves by MIDAS's earthquake and rolled away from all three of them with APOLLO's kick to his side.
Injuries: Bruised side from being kicked by APOLLO, sore withers from the beating MIDAS gave him at the start, cuts on his back from MIDAS's wings, and a sore hip from being crashed into by KRI.
