Claymore 88

A big shout-out to Binktopia, thank you for using my transes, it's pretty much the only reason I'm doing this still. If you guys drop it, I will too, since speedscans are out pretty much the moment the raw drops (clearly it's intentional).

Edit: fixed typo, thanks so much.

-GAAA

-WOAH!!

-Run for it!!
-This city's finished!!

22
-...will Isley
-really be able to kill them like that?

-no
-Nor do I think he can

23
-Their weakness is the same as any ordinary Youma or Awakened--the head
-In other words, as long as the head is intact, they can regenerate frightfully fast
-Thus regardless of the attack, they will always act to preserve their heads

-So then they really were...
-Awakends, too?

-They're the organization's latest...
-An anti-abyssal weapon, as it were

-Huh?!

24
-GUH!!

25
-We need to stay downwind
-That way, even if they head this direction they won't be able to locate us

-How are your wounds,
-Helen?

-My arm's on tight, but this eye is such a pain!
-If I stop to take a breather I might lose it!

-With all that we witnessed back there,
-I'm sure you can agree that we now have the right to know.
-Tell us everything you know about those things

26
-Seven years ago, during the Northern Conflict, the Organization embarked on a new line of research right on the heels of completing another
-This new endeavor came about thanks to the 11 Awakened carcasses the Organization came to obtain...

-As opposed to ordinary Youma, they used parts from Awakened bodies...
-and created their latest breed of soldier

-Wha--?!

-N-no...!
-That's absurd!!

-But it's true. And the result was nothing like the warriors we were accustomed to
-The Organization started creating monsters that resemble humans, yet are monsters in every respect...

27
-Yes, they don't possess even a trace of humanity
-All that was left was a vicious hunger for flesh and blood...
-and this is where the Organization applied the fruits of their research seven years ago

-By throughly eradicating their concept of self, it was possible to focus their cravings toward one particular target
-GI
-GI
-With eyes blinded and mouths sewn shut, these creatures knew how to do nothing but seek out and destroy their prey

-Because they were altered so as not to emit Youki, they cannot read Youki either
-So they wandered South, solely on the scent of the prey hammered into them

-Then, you mean to tell me that their prey is...!
-No, it can't be...

-It is.

28
-The Organization's prized item they found in the Southern lands...
-A fragment of Isley's body
sfx bubbles - BARI (ripping sfx)

-That is the official name...
-given to them by the organization!
bold: With fangs fully bare, the Akuma are set to devour Isley!!
