**Setting: Abandoned Alleyway - Night**

Suzuki continues his search for Asuka, the recent encounter with Foreman Pig still fresh in his mind. His thoughts are a whirlwind of confusion, fear, and determination. He needs answers—about the strange belt of orbs, the powers they grant him, and the mysterious pig who spoke of dangerous plans. And Asuka, with her own secrets, might be the only one who can help him.

As he rounds a corner into a dark, abandoned alleyway, something strange happens. The world around him distorts, and an invisible force seems to pull him forward. Before he can react, he steps through an unseen barrier.

**Suzuki**: "W-What…?"

The alley transforms into a twisted, alternate space. The once-quiet surroundings are now filled with the sounds of clashing blades, battle cries, and bursts of energy. Suzuki quickly realizes he’s stepped into something far beyond his understanding—a shinobi barrier.

At the center of this chaotic scene, Asuka is locked in combat with several enemy shinobi. Her movements are swift and precise, her twin swords cutting through the air as she deflects incoming attacks. Despite being outnumbered, she’s holding her own with the grace and skill of a true shinobi.

But then, in the midst of the battle, Asuka’s eyes widen in shock as she spots Suzuki standing there, completely out of place in this dangerous, secretive world.

**Asuka**: "Suzuki?! What are you doing here?!"

Suzuki barely has time to think. He knows he shouldn’t be here, but seeing Asuka in danger triggers something inside him. Acting on instinct, he rushes toward her, ignoring the enemy shinobi around them.

**Suzuki**: "Asuka, come on!"

Without fully understanding what he’s doing, Suzuki grabs Asuka’s arm. The orbs on his belt glow brightly, reacting to his emotions. Suddenly, the world shifts again. Suzuki and Asuka are pulled out of the barrier, landing back in the alleyway where everything appears normal once more.

**Asuka**: "Huh?! What just happened?"

Asuka stumbles for a moment, looking around in confusion. She can feel the shift in the air—the shinobi barrier is gone. But that shouldn’t be possible. The only way for a barrier to break is for one side to win the battle. And yet, here they are, outside of it.

She turns to Suzuki, her brow furrowed.

**Asuka**: "Suzuki, how did you do that? No one can leave a shinobi barrier unless the battle is over. What’s going on?"

Still catching his breath, Suzuki looks down at the belt of orbs around his waist. He knows it had something to do with what just happened. But even he’s not sure how he did it.

**Suzuki**: "I-I don’t know exactly… But these orbs… they give me these strange powers. I can move really fast, create explosions, and do all sorts of things that shouldn’t be possible."

Asuka listens carefully, her expression shifting from confusion to concern. She’s heard of mystical artifacts that grant power, but this is different. And Suzuki… he’s not even a shinobi.

**Asuka**: "Orbs? What kind of powers are we talking about?"

Suzuki hesitates for a moment, then starts to explain everything that’s happened. From the strange light that woke him up to the belt of orbs that appeared around his waist, to the powers that seemed to be based on characters from a game called "Angry Birds."

**Suzuki**: "You know Angry Birds, right? The mobile game with the birds and the pigs? Well… these orbs give me their powers. Red's battle cry, Chuck's speed, Bomb's explosion… all of it. I even ran into this weird pig at a construction site. He was talking about some King Pig or something. I think he’s planning something big."

Asuka blinks, trying to process everything. She knows "Angry Birds" as a popular mobile game, but this? This is far beyond what she ever expected. The concept of these game characters becoming real powers is baffling, even to her.

**Asuka**: "Angry Birds… as powers? I’ve heard of the game, but this is something else entirely. I’ve never seen anything like it."

She looks down at the belt, her sharp shinobi instincts sensing the energy radiating from the orbs. There’s something mystical about them, something that doesn’t belong in the normal world.

**Asuka**: "This is definitely not something from the shinobi world either…"

She looks back at Suzuki, her expression softening with concern.

**Asuka**: "Suzuki, this is serious. If these powers are real and you’re encountering creatures like that pig, you could be in danger. And if this King Pig is planning something big, it could threaten more than just you."

Suzuki nods, feeling a mix of fear and determination.

**Suzuki**: "That’s why I came to find you. I don’t know what’s happening, but I figured if anyone could help, it’d be you."

Asuka places a reassuring hand on his shoulder, her resolve firm.

**Asuka**: "You did the right thing coming to me. We’ll figure this out together. But for now, we need to be careful. If you’re able to break a shinobi barrier without even knowing how… you might be more involved in this than we realize."

Suzuki nods, feeling a little more confident now that Asuka is by his side. He knows this is just the beginning of something much bigger, and with her help, he’s ready to face whatever comes next.

**Asuka**: "Let’s go. We need to find out more about these orbs and what they’re connected to. And if this King Pig is really a threat, we’ll need to stop him before it’s too late."

With that, the two of them head off into the night, ready to face the challenges ahead—together.
