Marked for Death

CLAYMORE Episode 07 title sign: Marked for Death sign: Next episode Awakening Tired, Clare? No, I'm fine, Teresa.
We'll reach the next town by tomorrow.
Then, we'll be able to have a long awaited rest.
Okay.
So, what the hell is wrong with this town? Perhaps a Yoma hive? A normal town that was destroyed in a Yoma assault.
Those Yoma then disguised themselves as humans and preyed upon the humans that kept coming, most likely.
And, how many have you killed now, Sophia? Let's see This one puts me at seven, Noel.
Huh? Don't be lying to me.
There are thirteen corpses.
You have six, and I have seven.
Oh my, I think that's because you miscounted.
I've counted properly from the very beginning.
You're always stuck at Number Four because you can't even count, Noel.
I don't think I heard you right.
I'm Number Three, and you're Number Four.
Your brute strength is still as powerful as a gorilla's.
Your monkey jumping is the same as before, too.
Huh? You picking a fight with me or what? You're the one that started it, no? You asked for it.
Let's settle who's Number Three right here! Fine by me.
Enough! What do you accomplish by fighting each other? Our orders were to annihilate all Yoma in this town.
Correct? A long time no see, Irene.
They don't call you "Flash Sword Irene" for nothing.
I didn't even see you draw your sword.
I'm more amazed at the fact you don't even have a smudge of Yoma blood on you given that you slashed them at point-blank range.
You have a firm hold on the Number Two seat, eh? And? They didn't bring Number Two through Number Four here just to annihilate a town of Yoma, right? Indeed.
Any single one of us could have taken care of a town like this.
To have gathered the three of us, there must be something more.
We've been given orders to slay down the Number One in the organization, Teresa Teresa as in Teresa of the Faint Smile? Why She killed humans, an entire group of bandits.
And at her execution site, she struck our comrades and deserted the organization.
Are you kidding me?! Having the strongest one betray the organization is not funny at all.
I'd have wished she'd just let herself be killed.
Which is why Number Two through Number Five in the organization were gathered.
To enforce the rule and use our combined strength to kill Teresa.
A full-out battle between Number One and Numbers Two through Five, eh? Interesting, isn't it? So who was Number Five again? You really are stupid, aren't you? It's Elda.
It's not Elda.
The last person is Number Two.
I've been relegated to Number Three recently, which makes you two Number Four and Number Five.
Wh-What the hell? That can't be- Number Two is a rookie who recently received her symbol, and rose up the ranks to Number Two within these few months.
A rookie?! Why is someone like that suddenly the Number Two? Don't make me laugh! If you can't accept it, then take it away from her with your skills.
I accepted it after taking one look at her.
Oww What the hell? What a clumsy dolt.
It's her.
She's the new Number Two who recently received her symbol Priscilla.
Hell no.
She's just a kid! Did you and the organization lose some screws in your brains?! Like I said, if you can't accept it, then try her out yourself.
Fine, then.
I'll take Number Two's seat by force.
Get up, kid.
We'll settle this right here! Huh? I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I apologize for arriving late! It took a while for me to fight these Yoma! I What are you talking about? I said fight me! Besides, if taking out a few Yoma took you a while- What in the world I don't believe it She was fighting this close, yet we didn't even sense her fighting at all? No matter who she deals with or how many she deals with, she can dispatch her opponents without releasing her powers.
Just like Teresa of the Faint Smile.
She also possesses a hatred for Yoma stronger than anyone's.
To be honest, I wouldn't want to fight Teresa no matter how many of us gathered.
But I changed my mind after seeing her fight Yoma.
She will surpass Teresa someday.
We won't be able to stay in the town once they know who we are.
We would be able to sleep on comfortable beds instead of sleeping in the wild but is that fine with you? Geez A Claymore?! Why is there a Claymore in this town? Gosh.
And there I was thinking I could take it easy in this town.
Thanks to you, that dream has vanished.
God, please save that child! How cumbersome And now we can't stay peacefully in this town any longer.
Wh-What? Thank you so much! You are our savior! Please let us repay you! Skip the thanks.
A man in black will No.
Yes? Nothing.
Snap out of it.
See, you're okay now.
Dad I just passed by and decided to slay it.
I don't need any thanks.
But that would be too- Teresa! Then, could you prepare a room for us? A room for the two of us.
We want to rest from our long journey.
How long do you plan on laughing, Clare? Well, that's the first time I've seen you look like that, Teresa.
You looked so surprised when the people were rejoicing.
Yeah, it was a first, to be thanked in that manner.
It did feel pretty good, to save people from Yoma without the idea of doing it as a job.
Teresa, can I sleep with you? We have two beds.
You don't have to squeeze yourself with me- Yo.
She falls right asleep now that she's on a comfortable bed.
Rest well.
We'll be staying in this town for a while.
I sense that three abnormal Yoki presences have entered this town.
Rule enforcers sent by the organization to get me for my betrayal? Suppress my Yoki to the limits so they can't tell If I can just manage to hide and let them pass but I don't think they're that stupid Looks like I Here? It appears so.
Isn't she staying in a lovely place? Here we go.
Umm Ah, this is too much- It's okay.
Think of it as money for the entire hotel.
Yo.
It's been a while, Irene.
I'm happy you look so well.
I'm here for your head, Teresa.
You think you can do that? Go ahead and do your flash sword, but don't get the girl sleeping over there mixed in this.
Don't worry.
It will be all over by the time she wakes up.
What's the matter? If your flash sword stops flashing, it's useless.
Well, it has improved a bit from before, but it's still not quite enough.
Well then.
Umm, what are you guys Around here, I think.
Teresa! Don't move! Stay still.
No thanks for sending three annoying bitches.
There was another one? Impossible, I didn't even sense her presence at all.
Pleased to be making your acquaintance.
I am Priscilla, the new Number Two who has recently received my symbol.
Number Two? Please forgive my rudeness, but I am here for your head, Teresa.
That idiot! My, my The plan was to have her stab Teresa in the back as she flew out.
She's standing in front of her now.
Will she be able to beat Teresa of the Faint Smile head on? Stay away from me, Clare.
Eh, but It'll be okay, so don't worry.
Trust what I say.
I've told you the same before, right? Priscilla, you said? You had your chance when I jumped out.
Why didn't you strike me? Because doing that is cheap! Besides, I have something to ask you first.
Why didn't your head fall to the ground at the execution site? The organization's rule is ironclad.
Our role is to exterminate Yoma, to protect the peace for humans.
That's why we diminish our own lives and fight.
For us to kill humans is just just an unforgivable act that destroys the very trust humans have had that our organization has built up so far! So, forgive me, but I must enforce the organization's rule and slice your head off.
Good job justifying their logic, but if you don't mind me saying things don't work so ideally in this world, little girl.
Why you! That girl's doing pretty well, eh? She's putting pressure on that Teresa.
Do you know why they call her Teresa of the Faint Smile? Huh? Ain't that because she's always smiling when killing Yoma? You and Sophia do that, as well.
However, only Teresa is addressed that way.
I guess you're right.
Why is it? Your agility, Sophia's power, and my flash sword Next to us, Teresa just has her smile.
That's because she excels at every aspect, no? That's not completely true.
Your agility, Sophia's strength, and my sword swinging are superior to Teresa in their respective aspects.
Huh? Teresa is the best because of her unparalleled ability to sense Yoki.
It's not just the degree of being able to locate Yoma.
She can sense every single flow of Yoki coming from a body.
Huh? Those who fight with Yoma powers have to send Yoki down to the body parts they use.
Do you understand what that means? That's why Teresa will have the most difficult time with Priscilla, since she suppresses all her powers to the limits.
Teresa! Gosh.
These two are monsters.
Wow, wow! The sound of their swords clashing and the waves they're making are so powerful.
That kid sure is something.
She's fighting evenly with that Teresa, yo.
Huh? On par? It's about time.
We're going in to help, or else at this rate, the head that will fall will be Priscilla's instead.
Huh? What are you talking about? She's most fit to fight Teresa, right? Uh, huh? She's fighting blindly.
Teresa can just fight without relying on sensing Yoki and finish her off by fighting normally.
Her raw skills weren't a match for Teresa to begin with.
What's going on? My movements have slowed down all of a sudden.
No! She She's gotten faster! Why? Why is this? I've always fought for humans! She's the villain for killing humans! Yet Yet! Why can't I win?! This girl's latent potential is that of a monster's.
She'll become infinitely stronger in the future.
Even if I can defeat her this time, I can't say the same about the next time I meet her.
Sorry, but I can't die yet.
Yahoo!!! Hmph, you suck.
You got cut? Oh? It's better than being kicked into the sky.
No, I don't want this! Even if she did break the rule, taking her on with so many people is just I can take her on myself- Don't be too full of yourself! Without our support, your head would be on the ground now.
You, who's been fighting her all this time, should know that best.
We didn't come here to test our individual abilities.
We are here to execute a person who has broken the rule of the organization.
And we must do it in the way with the highest certainty.
We will give you the support.
You just unleash all your powers and just think about how to defeat Teresa.
I understand.
I will defeat her.
I cannot forgive someone that stains the organization.
I'm sorry, Teresa.
I really wanted to fight you one-on-one, but this is all your own fault!!! Fear is born.
Fear raises the curtains for tragedy.
