Keimusho was abruptly transferred to the World of Zephon during a confrontation with Zenos yae Galvus. Before he was able to fully process what was going on he had to turn his attention to a burning village. Initially the ninja attempted to put out the fires via Suiton, but would shift his focus to a group of bandits. In their confrontation he learned that the bandits set the village ablaze to lure out a blond individual. After dealing with the group he would meat this individual Caius Dragelion, leader of the Dragonblades. The mercenary notified the ninja that this world was not the one he knew. He and the mercenary soon after interrogated the bandits to learn the name of their leader, Shigureh of the Original Sin. After that business was taken care of, Caius then assisted the ninja by handing him a map and they then went their separate ways. Caius Dragelion
By chance, Keimusho managed to encounter a mage whom massacred a number of villages in the surrounding area. Now Keimusho had to problem had to protect the only survivor, an elderly man while defending against the mage and the beasts in the area. Eventually Keimusho had to make the call to escape with the elderly man, a task made possible by a boulder conveniently trapping the Waltz in place. @blackwaltz3
After Keimusho's escape with the old man he discovered that the elder has developed a case of amnesia. The duo would start to journey to Torensten through Headstone Forest. There he would encounter a young man named Squall. The three would traverse through the forest together, but not without challenge. Keimusho and Squall would have to endure hallucinations and monsters. It would worsen as a ghost would give then a trial as well, something they would have to accept as the ghost possessed the old man. The last challenge of this trial was a Behemoth and after it was defeated the old man would be returned with a few of his memories. Primarily his name, Aldrich. @squall

Keimusho took a small moment to look back at the enemy to witness his descent to the ground as a result of the ninja’s Raiton, a best case scenario for the Au Ra. With the spell slinger grounded, the ninja had a little time to create more distance to complete his escape and Keimusho felt more confident because of this. That was until the mage casted yet another spell at him. Lightning was gunning for him at the ground this time, but Keimusho had yet another tool for this. Keimusho had once again started to weave signs. This time the signs were Ten, followed by Jin and Chi. After the signs were weaved, what was left behind the still running ninja's feet was a patch of corrupted earth, a result of Doton.
When the lightning snakes came into contact with the corrupted earth they danced around the area it was created, until a large explosion occurred. This explosion resulted in the formation of a larger crater than the ones that the ninja had to avoid earlier. That was yet another spell Keimusho managed to avoid and with the mage now on the ground the ninja could continue this trend with better success.
In fact, now that the mage had its feet to the ground the ninja had even more options at his disposal. Tricks that did not work while the black mage was airbourne would likely wield more success and that included the use of smoke bombs. As the ninja kept sprinting his dropped a smoke bomb behind him to conceal him as he ran. During this the old man slowly began to thaw, albeit not completely, still it's not like it mattered much anyway. Whether, the old man was frozen, unconscious, or even awake the ninja would have to keep carrying him around so that wouldn’t change the ninja’s strategy period. All that the ninja could do is use the smoke as a cover and keep running.

So this was about a bounty? Quite a petty reason to burn down a village to lure out a single man. Despite was the bounty was about, trying to fulfill it by burning down a village was not the right course of action, but that was something bandits rarely understood. "Bounty? I don't give a damn about some bounty. You don't set a village aflame just to make a petty profit!", said Keimusho in response to the bandit. Keimusho was slightly angered by the bandit's statement not that you could see because his face was concealed underneath his own mask. Seeing that some of the bandits had their guns aimed at him, the Au Ra figured that he'd have to take action soon. This assumption was further confirmed by the two bandits that started to run away.
"Your choice.", the ninja said. Keimusho turned his sword in his hand and knocked the bandit he held hostage out with the hilt of the weapon. He then released the bandit from his grasp who now laid unconscious on the ground. At that moment the remaining bandits started firing their guns towards the ninja. Keimusho spun his body clockwise as the he activated Shade Shift. The shadows created by the ability nullified the bullets that connected with Keimusho's body as if they were nothing. Ignoring the bandits firing at him at the moment, he turned his attention to the bandits attempting to flee. Left with no choice he started to weaved the mudra signs Chi then Ten. Keimusho aimed his breath at the running bandits and activated Katon. The fireball made its ways towards both the bandits and burned them both to a crisp in an instant.
"You forced my hand. I'm giving you one last chance to drop your weapons and surrender. Or do you wish to end up like your friends over there?", Keimusho said to the bandits whilst gesturing towards their newly deceased friends.

Keimusho managed to track down the shooter due to the second gunshot's indication, though by the time he got there there were some rather suspicious individuals running. Seeing that they had bandanas covering their face, it would be safe to assume that they were the perpetrators because they sure as hell weren't shinobi. Naturally, the ninja decided to give chase as it seemed that they are too occupied to notice. They way that they ran indicated that they were more likely chasing someone rather than trying to flee the scene. "What could they be chasing?", the ninja thought.
That question would soon be answered as he looked a little bit ahead of the bandits. It was the blond-haired individual he saw earlier and some sort of flying creature? Regardless of what it was the Au Ra was not going to let this goose chase happen for too much longer. Thinking it would be best not to dispatch the bandits, at least not if he could help it. They possibly could explain their motives or they could at least explain where in the seven hells was this location. Keimusho thought of using Hyoton to freeze the bandits in place, but the flames, a result of their arson would thaw them out rather quickly.
Instead, the ninja opted to toss a smoke bomb in the vicinity of the bandits. The sudden smoke forced the bandits to cease their chase, and instead stand inside the smoke in great confusion. Before the smoke dissipated the ninja forcefully pulled one of the bandits out of the smoke's vicinity. This bandit in particular reached for his weapon until Keimusho's blade was nearing close to his neck. Well before the bandit had any chance to draw his weapon, Keimusho had drawn his kodachi, the Enma-dachi.
"Drop it.", the ninja whispered in his ear with conviction, a command that the bandit had no choice but to comply to. At this time the ninja's smoke bomb had finally dissipated and when they turned they would find the ninja had their ally in a compromised situation. Before the bandits could act, Keimusho would issue a statement towards the remain bandits. "I would urge you all to drop your weapons and cease any further action or your buddy here may not make it out of your arsonous antics alive. But of course, you would also share the same fate, depending on your next move. It's your choice." Would the bandits take the bait and surrender or would Keimusho have to dispatch them? Seeing that there was a fire going around it more or less seemed that it would have to be the latter.

Keimusho could hardly do anything but keep running at that point. There could be no stopping or the old man would end up dead. Numerous bolts of lightning crashed near the fleeing Au Ra, creating giant craters in its wake. Majority of the mage's spells found their way behind the ninja's path. But those that fell in front of the ninja required more effort to dodge due to the craters. In those instances, the ninja leaped over these newly created obstacles.
Hearing the mage's demand for his demise, Keimusho felt it was necessary to reply. "I'm definitely not choosing death. Not after what I've been through. You will not get your hands on this man's life either." Feeling that it was necessary, Keimusho once again activated Shade Shift. The technique would see more success as the ninja would not be forced to take the spell in its entirety. The shadows of the technique blocked both Keimusho and the old man from the flying debris that the golem's spells may have caused.
Keimusho knew that he couldn't keep up this up forever. There was only so much that he could anticipate, especially which he had his back turned to the enemy and a big target on it in the form of the old man. Not to mention that he definitely pissed off his enemy. While this technique was still in affect, Keimusho would have to try and stop the mage from chasing after him. He had to turn to his ninjutsu once again. Still running, Keimusho's hands once again weaved the signs Ten and Chi. After the signs were weaved, he turned his head to find the mage and take aim at it. At that moment he activated Raiton, summoning a bolt of lightning from the sky towards the flying figure.

Keimusho quickly realized his error when the two worms aimed for him. That was not mentioning the fact that the figure dodged both the Fuma Shuriken and Raiton. There was no way that Keimusho was going to knock this thing out the air whilst he had to also deal with the monsters and protect the newly unconscious elderly man. He was going to have to take the geezer and run, that was the only way that the elderly man would come out of this alive.
Once the worms charged at him, Keimusho pulled the Thorn of the Monarch from its sheath. As the worms charged at the Au Ra, he would charge an attack of his own as the kodachi glowed a bright blue. Once the beasts grew closer the ninja released his attack: Tenka Goken. The ninja swung the blade releasing an energy wave that sliced the beasts into numerous pieces. He turned quickly to find that the mage has casted yet another spell. The cold wind neared closer, but even if Keimusho would not be weaving mudra signs at the moment that did not mean that he would be void of a ninjutsu technique that wouldn't help in this situation.
Underneath Keimusho's feet appeared a giant red frog, this was the Hellfrog Medium. Before the frog could spit a fireball as it typically does when it is summoned, the spell came into contact with it causing it to freeze in place. The remainder of the spell came into contact with the surrounding houses and the old man, freezing him too. Not that it mattered since he was already frozen by his own unconsciousness anyway. Keimusho slipped off the frog who did not stay frozen for long since it was attuned to the fire element. As soon as it thawed the frog poofed away. Keimusho quickly when the old man and lifted him on his shoulders. His frozen body was obviously cold to the touch, but he wasn't going to stay frozen forever. Keimusho tossed three smokebombs near his feet. "This should buy me enough time for a head start.", the ninja thought. Amidst the smoke he created, the ninja began to run out of the area with the elder on his shoulder.

Keimusho was not going to keep this up much longer relying on his ninja techniques alone. There were only so many mudra he could weave at a single. Luckily for the ninja his first mentor, albeit deceitful mentor taught him the ways of the samurai. The ninja would pull his sword from its sheath located at his lower back. This kodachi, the Thorn of the Monarch glowed a bright amethyst color when it was drawn. The Anima residing in the weapon did not wish to speak at that time. The Au Ra would close the gap between him and the old man with Hissatsu: Gyoten. At lightning speed he rushed towards the old man and sliced the house that he stood next to, not that it would give him much protection to begin with. Though this meant that he would once again have to take one of the black mage's spells. It was too soon to use Shade Shift once again so instead he opted to use another technique from the samurai discipline: Third Eye.
Keimusho took yet another shot of thunder point blank. Those first degree burns of his turned to those of the second degree. As the mage was in the midst of casting yet another spell, the Au Ra activated Merciful Eyes, which allowed his burns to heal or at least become less severe as the burns reverted back to the first degree. Keimusho would still have another spell to worry about. Keimusho had to take the initiative and attack whilst he defended, though he placed his weapon in his sheath. He would not need it for this type of attack."One wrong move and this man is going to end up dead. I have to do this quickly. It's going to be a while before I'm able to cast any more Mudra in this fight, so I have to make this count!", Keimusho thought.
Keimusho created enough just enough space between him and the old man to toss four daggers towards the ground simultaneously. Set perfectly was a dagger in the front, one behind, and two one each side of him. A red insignia carved into the ground. The technique was Ten Chi Jin, which ironically enough was going to be the mudra combination he was going to be going for. He was not going to be able to move out of position whilst he did this lest he cancel the technique by doing so.
This time all of these ninjutsu techniques would hit at twice the power. Keimusho's hands weaved the sign Ten, which summoned Fuma Shuriken. He tossed the shuriken towards the mage, aiming towards its left wing. He then weaved the sign Chi, which activated a lighting technique of his own: Raiton. This bolt of lightning too was aimed towards the mage. Finally, as the Fire spell grew closer, he weaved his final sign Jin. The ninja's hand touched the ground, which brought forth a geyser of water that came into contact with the mage's Fire spell.
What separated Keimusho's ninjutsu from a mage's spells was that unlike the mage he did not draw the attacks from his own energy, but rather from the energies of the earth. Though the drawback from this is that he could not continuously use these techniques, it took time before he could use them again. That meant that if this fight had to continue, it was imperative that he close the gap between them. However, that meant leaving the old man's side. Keimusho instead decided the view the aftermath of that exchange before making any further decisions.

If it was not evident then, it certainly was now. The mage could not be reasoned with. That meant a fight was eminent. "It seems that you don't get the memo that you can't complete your mission at all. Not while your stuck here.", the ninja said. He said naught else because he knew it would be futile to try and reason any further. It was a reality that Keimusho only recently had to accept too, but that did not mean that he had no purpose in this world. The Kami want the Doman to do something, it just isn't clear what that purpose was, but he wasn't going to get anything done if he can't get out of this; however, despite this adversity the Au Ra kept a calm mind.
He watched as the black figure casted Fira on the house, which easily destroyed the structure, yet let loose the feral beasts. Though the mage's attack caused the beasts some damage, meaning that Keimusho could finish them of with ease before they even came close. The ninja's hands weaved the sign Chi followed by Ten. This activated the ninjutsu technique known as Katon. The ninja would blow air from his mouth which summoned a large ball of fire. The flames met all of the beasts that gave Keimusho chase, burning them to a crisp not too unlike what his adversary did to its earlier victims.
This left the beasts no longer an issue, but at that point the mage was casting another spell. Keimusho's hands weaved another sign: Kassatsu. The ninja once again started weaving signs in urgency. This time the signs weaved were Chi followed by Jin. This would activated the ninjutsu technique, Hyoton. The ninja would blow air in a similar fashion to the previously used technique. The air he exhaled brought forth a heap of ice directed towards the spell itself. Keimusho had no way of knowing that the mage was casting Blizzard so inadvertently he had fought fire with fire, or rather ice with ice in this case. He had hoped for the elderly man's sake that the attacks would cancel each other out.

The old man's death was something that Keimusho narrowly prevented. Keimusho sprinted towards the elderly man as the mage casted its spell. There was no way the elderly man could survive the strike so the Au Ra would have shield him from it. As lighting crashed down Keimusho had to take the shot. Keimusho thought to try and negate the damage he was going to take. Keimusho's body would spin 360 degrees as he activated the Shade Shift technique. The shadows summoned by the technique attempted to block the strike, but failed to nullify the damage completely. The attack still caused Keimusho some took a damage, in fact the shocks caused first degree burns though they were covered by Keimusho's dogi which also had burnt spots on them from the attack. Still, he needed to get the old man away from the mage.
With the use of the Shukuchi technique the ninja swiftly tossed a smokebomb in the vicinity of the area. With the few seconds that the smokebomb gave, he lifted the man and swiftly moved back towards the location, which he originally confronted the mage. "If I were a moment slower, this old man would've been in similar shape to the earlier corpses.", Keimusho thought. Keimusho continued to ponder on the possible capabilities of the adversary. "Thunder... that's dark magic. Perhaps the way they operate isn't too different from the ways of thaumaturgy back in my world.", Keimusho thought.
However, in saving the old man Keimusho swiftly realized a problem. The old man was feeble and likely relied on a cane that the situation most certainly left him void of. There was no way that he going to be able to run away on his own. Then, even if he could there were the beasts in the area to worry about.
It all fell on Keimusho to find a way out of this situation. When the dust caused by the Thunder spell settled, Keimusho placed the old man a fair distance behind him. "Stay back, but stay close enough to where I can see you.",he whispered in the elderly man's ear. The old man obviously wasn't going to get anywhere far, especially void of a walking stick, but the fact that he could move at all (albeit slowly) was slightly beneficial for the man's own well being. The old man managed to hide behind a house by the time the mage began to utter its statement.
It seemed that the being was looking for someone, specifically a princess. So it was evident that it didn't get the memo that this is not their homeworld. Perhaps there was still a chance to reason with it. A slim chance. "The chances of you finding who you are looking for are slim at best. Judging from this rampage you induced you are not from this world either. This is not the world you know. Whoever you ask that question to knows not the answer nor the context behind the question. Your princess is not here and this slaughter of yours has proved pointless.", the ninja ranted towards the mage.

It seemed that Keimusho was guided here merely by chance. Since his arrival the Au Ra learned that he was no longer in his homeworld. That meant that there were others that were whisked away from their homes as well. It was definitely a catalyst that would cause much unneeded conflict and destruction. This was made even more evident through the piles of freshly singed bodies in the area. But there was something odd about seeing these corpses. Keimusho heard that these parts were void of civilization these days, so why would anyone try to build a village here now? Well I suppose the question was now moot considering that they are nothing but mere corpses now; however, the more pressing question was, "Whom caused this?"
He was sure that someone would've managed to flee if mere monsters attacked the village and the destruction somehow felt organized... At least to a certain extent. That was not even mentioning the great number of craters that surrounded each body. "Someone orchestrated this attack, I think tis is certain. Though the intentions as to why are not so clear.", said the Au Ra.
Suddenly the Au Ra heard a scream, a sound that Keimusho did not neglect to trail. The ninja managed to find the source of the screams, an elderly man in the grasp of this... figure for a lack of a better term. Though it didn't appear to be something that originated from this world. This could easily have been a reaction of an individual randomly sent here. Granted it was an extreme example, but it was not out of the realm of possibility. Still, he couldn't sit here and allow the thing to cause more destruction.
There was no way for the ninja to try and sneak to a blind spot, the area was too shattered. Perhaps it may listen to reason, if it could. The ninja had his hand to his weapon, ready to draw it at a moments notice. "Hey! I don't know what your intentions are, but it would be best if you released that man.", said giving the being a stern look that was mostly hidden beneath the mask.
