Whoa! He looks rather...unholy, thought Iolaus. Kinda like Ares when he's really really pissed. Yup. Loki could take care of himself just fine.

Iolaus turned back to his new playmates and, dropping to his knees, caught the next butt ugly charging toward him on the point of the sword. Unfortunately, when it fell, it took the sword with him. Not too much of a concern, tho, since Iolaus had spent quite some time training with a great warrior of the East and had learned that a smaller man can use the size and weight of a larger oponent against them. Bouncing back up, he leaped and pivoted, kicking out with a foot and snapping it against the kneecap of the next butt ugly, shattering it. He gave it another kick in the chin on its way down to the ground. He met the next two in a similar manner, bobbing and waving under the ineffective swings of their weapons, joyously delivering devastatingly sharp punches and kicks in a flurry of motion. When they fell into a pile atop their mates, Iolaus waited for the next batch -- and found he'd quite run out of playmates.
