Thorax never liked his life in the hive, and after their recent defeat during the invasion of Cantorlot it has become downright unbearable.
So he left.

He's now roaming the pony homeland in search of a new purpose, a new life, friendship, love and most pressingly, a place to sleep.

Three changeling soldiers, Sergeant Tibia, Private Tarsus and "the new guy" is on a mission, a mission of love. That is to say, a mission to infiltrate a nearby town and extract as much love from the residents as possible.
