I would have guessed that one awakened after the other to protect them (ie a squad was sent to kill the first awakened one. The other awakened when their claymore-form no longer supplied enough power to protect the first from the kill squad).

At least, that's the scenario I had in my head first, but if Riful was the one who awoke first, then she'd be pretty absurdly powerful to need the likes of Duff to awaken. On the other hand, if the kill squad forced even Riful to awaken, they must have been pretty damn strong.

My perception may be off though, since the only #2-5 vs #1 fight we've seen was between Theresa and her pursuers, and she may have been an exception in that she was way ahead of everyone else.
