Claymore: A Tale of the living

Ch 1: Unit 4

Fear. The very emotion that affect us all, human and beasts alike. Flight or Fight, most would flee from the cause of fear, few stay and fught. But sometimes flight can turn to fight.

The family curl up in the corner of the wall, trapped from the beast in front of them. The Man of the family face the yoma with a sword and shield. Normally  people would run for thier lifes, but not this time. Humans are done running from yoma.
The yoma attack the man with his left arm. The man used his shield to block the attack. When the hand came into contact with the shield, it broke and push the man sending him flying to the wall hitting it hard. He clenched his broken arm. He got up and points his sword at the yoma. He is not giving up this fight.
The yoma launch at him, before the yoma could kill something cut off his arm. The yoma roar in pain. Again somthing cut him only this time his right arm. Again the yoma roar in pain.
"Oh don't be such a baby" said a female voice.
The yoma look up at the Female, who has light blond hair, pale skin, and silver eyes. She wears silver shoulder armor and black clothes; a Claymore.
This Claymore was not alone, two of her companions apeared out of nowhere and aim to cut his head off. The yoma reacted and jump so fast, the three warriors missed thier target. The yoma grin, tentacles emerge from his back as he targeta the three Claymores beneath him. It was too fast the three warriors have no time to react, except for one.
The yoma's attack was cut off by other Claymore. One more stronger than the other three. This Claymore is big and kind of muscular. You could almost mistake her for a guy, but clearly she is a woman.
"Too slow" she said cutting the yoma down with a death blow from her two swords.

"Tisk, worthless scum" she said.
The family that was just saved, thanked her. Undine talks to them for a short while before leaving and rejoining the others.
"Captain Undine" said the three Claymores.
"How many times I told you three to watch your back and expect surprise attacks!" She said scolding them.
The three Claymores look down on thier feet. These three Claymores are Krista, Suzie, and Anna. They are the Claymores of the 79 Generation, one of the youngest and low ranks.
"We're sorry" they said.
"Sorry will not cut it, if you three had died all the apologizes of the world won't bring you back to life, won't it?"
The three Claymores nodded their heads.
Undine sighed knowing she is being a little hard on them, but its for thier own good. She does not want any warriors in her unit to die beacuse of a mistake.

"Don't be so hard on them" said Flora approaching her.
"If you have any ideas how to correct thier mistakes besided scolding them, I am listening"

"I don't question your methods of teaching, its the tone that matters"
"Hmph" grunted Undine.
The thee Claymores still look down at the ground. Undine could see the disappointment on thier faces.
"Don't look so disapointed, we will practice on your quick reactions later" said Undine to them.
The three Claymores look up at Undine.
"Don't worry captain we will practice hard!" Said Anna in a cheerful tone.
"Hard enough until we get better!" said Suzie in a cheerful tone.
"Or drop dead!" Said Krista in a cheerful tone.

"No one is going to drop dead, especially you three, just don't make mistakes that can harm you or anyone els, got that?" said Undine.
"Yes Captain" Responded the three. The three Claymores dismissed themselfs theb joins the rest of the warriors in thier unit.
"You are getting soft Undine" said Flora teasing her.
"Shut up"
Flora smiled.
Undine and Flora approach thier unit. In thier unite there are 18 Claymores, including Undine and Flora. Both are the captains in thier unit; know as Unit 4.
"All right we are moving out" ordered Undine "since we are behind schedule we need to travel a little faster if we are to make it on time"
"Captains I have a question" said Rachel. Rachel is one of the 79 generations anf of the high ranks. Rachel is like a Undine version only less muscular, and with shorter hair. And you could almost confuse her for a guy too. Her personality is similar to Undine's but less.
"What is it Rachel?" Said Flora
"Tell me why did our leader send us to live out in the woods for two weeks and then ask us to return to Rabona? This whole trip was almost like a vacation and not a training"
"Are you seriously asking that?" Said Undine.
Before Undine could say another word, she was inturrupted by Flora.
"We would gladly answer your question if you answer mine first"
Rachel nodded in agreement.
"Tell me Rachel what is it that you learn from your fellow warriors?"
At first Rachel had a blank look then she answer Flora's question.

"Alot" she said honestly.
"Please explain"
"Everyone one are one in the same, but different. I learn a little bit about my comrads, for an example Anna, Krista, and Suzie adore captain Undine as well as our leader. When I first met them I tought they are naive and would be the first to perish in a fight, but I lern they each are brave and not extremly naive. And at times these three personality can even make a head strong warrior care for them" said Rachel.
Rachels comments made the three young warriors happy, and almost giggile kniwing Rachel is refering to Undine. Even Flora chuckled.

"Should I go on Captain Flora?" Asked Rachel.
"No its alright" said Flora smiling at the ironic situation with Rachel. This situation remimded her when Undine question Miria in Pieta.
"It seems you got the idea, but miss the point"
"Huh?" Questioned Rachel.
"Tell me how many fellow warriors did you knew and trusted before we formed an alliance?" Question Flora again
"To be honest only Audrey"
"How many do you know now and you could trust?"
"Everyone"
"Thats the point" explain Flora "the reason our leader send us on a two week journey is so that we can form trust and friendship among our fellow warriors"
"Without trust we are nothing but good as dead" finished Undine.

Rachel now understood the point and the methods that thier leader is trying to do. She chuckled feeling like a fool. She should have never doubt the leader, for she is wise in her own manner.

"Now my friends lets us go, and we must hurry if we are to make it to Rabona before dawn" said Flora.
Unit 4 jump, picking up speed as they ran gracefuly into the direction of Rabona.
