Kitsune was glad she arrived at Smoak Technologies Building. She barely understood what the other heroes were talking about in the com links but she managed to hear a few words to know there is trouble already happening downtown. 

When she did get there, panicked employees were screaming and running away from the building where it seemed that the rest of the employees inside were on a complete rampage... wait, why is there a hole through the sixth floor? Kitsune hasn't completely understood what was going on but one thing she's certain of is that she has to do something.

She became invisible and went inside the building. Kitsune immediately noticed a vertical line cutting through all the floors. She hovered her hand over it, still warm. She expanded her senses: aside from the rampaging employees, she found out Red Star, Wildcat, Fire, and possibly the new Wonder Woman already in the scene. She also found out Icicle and Brainwave are in the building, perhaps Brainwave's the one controlling these people? But wait, none of them had the ability to release hot energy capable of creating the hole through the sixth floor as well as the vertical cut. Might be another villain, but why can't she feel its presence? Maybe it's an accomplice of the two villains to create mayhem as a way of entering the building and went away because its job is done?

Kitsune shook her head. [i]Stop it[/i], she told herself. There's no time to think about the "who, what, where"s. Right now she has to focus on what she can do to help. She'll deal with this later.

Kitsune breathed in. She already knew what to do. Over time, she began to have an ability to persuade and manipulate people through their emotions which is one of the mystical abilities of a true and legitimate kitsune, but she's still unsure about it since this is her first time doing her it and especially to a lot of people at once. She shrugged. [i]Well, there's always a place for first times,[/i] she said to herself. 

She went to the center and concentrated, her seimei umbrella spinning slowly and floating beside her. In a few minutes, she began to glow with soft pink light and released trails of sakura petals around her, each trail surrounding an employee in a cocoon-like way. When the petals began to surround some of the employees, Kitsune began to feel the mental pressure coming from Brainwave, struggling to maintain his control on the people. Kistune didn't gave up and telepathically talked to them, trying to persuade them to fight off against Brainwave's mind control while also sifting through each person's fondest memories to boost their willpower. 

[color=f49ac2]"Free yourself. The villain has no right to control your life. You must summon the willpower to resist its control. [i]Anata no jiyū no tame ni tatakau[/i]! Fight for your freedom!"[/color], she said to every person under the influence of Brainwave.

With a last burst of power, Kistune managed to release the people from being mind-controlled by Brainwave and she along with the employees slumped to the floor and groaned. It took all of their willpower to fight back against the villain but they succeeded with her help. She groggily stood up and told everyone to leave the building immediately and they did, each of them supporting the others who can barely stand. Breathing a few times to regain her composure, she grabbed her umbrella and went upstairs to join the other heroes in the upper floors.
