Well, he could be 25 or 30. Even 35. That doesnt make him old.

Interesting replies. What Dante said isnt too implausible either. Adrenalin does tend to make you do funny things when your brain's gone into blind mode.

And the assailants having weapons is debatable. If they had any, they would be holding it or using it. Its what any normal attacker would do.

Ferox has a point about attacking one of the two rapists from behind and taking him by surprise. One good, solid blow to the legs would be enough to make him go down howling, rather than bashing him in the head and be more chancy of him dying on you. Then it will be 1 on 1, and the odds get even better.

You can basically save one of them. The time it takes in-between wont let you go to the aid of the other, and let's face it, by the time you are finished with one group, the other would have done their job already.

Ergo, the choice.
