Tanaka had more or less been expecting the strange creatures; sure, he had never seen the likes of them before, but it wasn't all that different from the things outside of the Organization's lair. When they came out, he was ready. "Osu! Let's do it!"

The stranger was the only fighter in the group, and at the moment that was what they needed. Tanaka heeded her warning to step back, but focused his routine on powering her end of the battle; if she let any of the shadows through, he and Miss Belle would likely be in trouble.

The good news was that this individual was probably capable of handling the task without his help. It would make for an easy first round, at the least.
