Why Do We Fight
The mines where the Pandaren were held captive had been filled with both the captive slaves and the enemies of the Thunder King. Suijin had come at the behest of the villagers, those who saved him, Vector and Kage when they washed up ashore on the island. With the island under the iron-grip control of the Thunder King, and trapped by the ever-present storms around the island, Suijin realized the best answer to move forward was to help the villagers. It was a bit out of character of him, but he wanted to do it. In the end there was one thing he hated more than rules, and laws-- but enslaving others.
Long story short, Suijin had thrashed many of the guards and slavers via his mist technique, taking them down one by one, then urging the captured slave Pandaren out-- but his mist had now dissolved, having been spent and now he was surrounded. He, Kage, and Vector was trapped. Half of the slaves were safe out, but the other were huddled around him, at risk of being hurt by the stone mongrel beasts and the insectoid creatures that forced the slaves to harvest the amber.
"We got you now!" the big mongole growled as he handled a large whip with spikes along it. "Get on your knees, worm, or I will start beating you all into a pulp. No one crosses the Thunder King unscarred."
Suijin was just quiet. He refused to bow, and refused to break. Though he didn't want to see the other Pandaren or his companions suffer, he knew to bow to their demands was the last thing he should do. He glared back, angry and not giving him a word.
"Fine then..." the stone dog creature growled and grabbed a nearby Pandaren, already scared. "Let's see them run when their legs are broken!!" he growled and was about to deliver a breaking kick to his knee.
His nerves tightened as he got ready to move. Water began to condense to his palms to attack and then---
Bloomp! Something from the remaining fog floated down and soon pushed the stone dog-man back-- or rather it encased the Pandaren. Both the jailer and panda bear looked in surprise to find the distance between them divided by a thin bubble, but despite the attacker's grip-- the bubble didn't break. The bubble merely slipped under his grip, and the panda slowly began to drift upward into the air.
"What?" Suijin gasped. He did no such thing, and more shocking... he knew where the bubbles were coming from!
"What is this?!" the slaver growled, as did the other remaining enemies around the quarry.
Slowly, one by one, bubbles had floated through the air and coming closer. The ones that got close to the Pandas quickly engulfed them inside and floated them into the air, as if to remove them from the quarry. Even a couple came over and popped over Vector and Kage, securing Suijin's pet. While the slavers were confused and even upset to see their 'hostages' go up into the air...
... Suijin was more worried by the ability, as he knew the style of this magic all too well. It was him, of all people.
"You call yourself a ninja, Suijin. You should have handled these third-rate mongrels by the time I came floating here..." a sly, cocky voice called from the fog.
Up in the air, as the bubbles containing the helpless slaves hovered, Suijin saw him. Perched atop of one bubble, cross-legged was a brown-haired young man-- his hair obscuring half his face. He wore a blue kimono and in his left hand he held a metal pipe aloof. The pipe was oddly shaped, in reality being a metallic bubble pipe. His gaze was calm, almost emotionless as he looked down at Suijin.
"Seems you need a hand, do you Tsunami?" Utakata said.
"Oh, shut it," Suijin grumbled, now facing the same rival and ex-peer he had-- who he had been fighting against right before this whole mess started.
