Population?

Moving low to the ground while enhancing her already superior speed caused Roach to lose sight of the white tiger. Though the Roach’s ability to adapt and learn how the fighting methods of those who face them brought about movement in the Roach right away. Turning around with the belief that Zadora was going to attack from behind. Her speed would allow the tiger the time she needed to touch the exoskeleton of the Roach just like she planned. Instead of touching the back of the Roach though her claws would slam against the chest.

Zadora would feel as if she’d just tried to shove her fingers through the side of a mountain with the durability of Roach's exoskeleton proving to be just too sturdy for her claws. Despite her pain she would definitely feel from this impact the Roach was put in a worse situation as all the electrical it’s that Zadora had built up through her fur was pushed onto the Roach burning throughout its body causing damage the exoskeleton just couldn’t block. Immediately everyone in the area including the small group of humans would smell the cooked inner workings of the Roach as it drops to the ground smoke coming off its body and Zadora is left victorious.

Zadora felt the exoskeleton give no response to her attempt at getting her claws past the dense and hard outer skeleton that covered its body. But her electricity did what she wanted. Watching as smoke started to rise from its body. Soon following the smoke was the scent of cooked flesh as the electricity cooked the roach from the inside. Killing in from the inside.

Seeing the roach crumple to the floor at her feet. Smoke continued to leave its cooked body. And Zadora stared down at its body and tapped one of its arms. As if she was making sure that the bug was dead. Her feral grin morphing into a victory smile. Defeating the roach all on her own. Mainly without Rafael’s help. This was all her work!

“I wonder how Rafael would feel about having roach for dinner tonight?” She mused to herself as she bent down. With her left hand, she wrapped her paw around the roach’s and raised herself. Beginning her journey back to her pack's territory. Pausing briefly and turning her head to glance back to the humans. “Next time you see a Roach beast. Do not stop. Immediately run.” She warned before she continued her journey, dragging the roach body behind her.

Watching the massive insectoid Beast that they’d just watched do things they couldn’t even hope to achieve drop down wasn’t an easy sight to swallow. Today had started as just another hunting trip! The small group of three pluses at this point after witnessing the brief battle between Beasts knew they were going to die. The tiger had moved so fast multiple times that none of them, not even the male leader could see her. The Roach had been able to do the same, but they’d actually seen it hit the tiger.

In the eyes of all three hunters the tiger was losing so now with a cold sweat draping them the Roach collapsed after what looked like a mass of lightning enveloped its entire being. There one moment and then gone the next with the Roach steaming like a campfire. “So even the Beasts have powers like the Shinigami?” The leader spoke without thinking, unable to stay within his head. He’d heard of how the Shinigami possessed powers like gods, things beyond what a human could do and now he’d seen what he could only assume the tiger did the same thing.

Despite being a man surrounded in ego stirred up by confidence he had to accept what had just happened and in order to give thanks he had to stomach his next actions. Dropping down to both knees and bowing his head forward in a sign of respect. The tiger walks away already with the Roach body just after she speaks to the group. “Thank you for saving us!” Three other two almost like always following the lead of their friend drop down and for the first time Zadora would get to experience someone else beyond her family giving her thanks and respect.
