“Kiru, ruru…”

Despite not understanding what it was saying, he knew what it was saying. Somehow. A connection deeper than words.

“...Yeah. I get it.” Niji sighed. “When I was a kid, I was blinded by sweets too. Sometimes you make rash decisions.”

“Kiruru?”

“Yeah. We’re all kids.” Niji chuckled. “...Sometimes I still do. Hell, Pika’s living proof of that. But we can make things right again.”

“Kiruru?” it pointed at him, then back at itself.

“I can tell you a story later.” Niji offered.

“Kiru…”

“...Do you want to go back now?”

“Kiruru…” Kiruru looked guilty.

“...I’m sure Aianna understands. After all this is over, she’ll ease off of it.”

“Kiru? Kiruru?” Kiruru motioned around.

“How do we get out, huh?”

“Kiru!”

POWERS

Roboniji Rainbow Beam: The "Heartflash" hadoken attack, he shoots out a rainbow colored beam from his hands. Simple enough, and more long-ranged than a hadoken.

Roboniji Hue Shield: He summons a rainbow colored rectangular shield that, when broken, shoots out a giant beam of light as a counter attack. It's heavier and less movable than Robohino's sunshine shield but has a much bigger width and the aformentioned knockback attack as a tradeoff.

Roboniji Chromaflash: He throws a ball made of light that begins to flash a variety of rainbow colors, disorienting the victim. Works best in darkened rooms, and can even allow the robodoki team to see in the dark.

Roboniji Rainstorm: He summons a rain cloud to constantly follow the victim, soaking them/slowing them down until the cloud runs out of steam and fades away.

“I think it’s about everyone bothering Helen over the Guy thing. Me and Pika put our ideas together.”

Pixel smiled. “What, it’s cute?”

“And it’s something she doesn't want outed. Clearly.” Pika narrowed her eyes. “She’ll tell us when she’s ready. You just acted like dicks in teasing her about it, and those who were complicit were equally at fault. Including me. Yeah, I’m not off the hook either.”

“Admitting it is the first step to acceptance.” Poka cooed.

Niji just looked away, blushing and still voiceless.

“...Ooooooh.” Pika wondered. “Voiceless. That’s gonna be a problem when our attacks are voice activated.”

Niji did sign language, summoning a big rectangular rainbow shield.

“I taught him that.” Denki smirked. 

“Clever. I guess that is technically ‘speaking’ it.” Lava beamed.

“Hey, you learn a few signs, when you lose your voice after cheering too loud at a football game.” Denki explained. “And we had a lot of time to learn more, in lockdown.”

“Wait, why the-” Fuwa was about to ask about the shield.

A wave hit it.

“Welp. We found Helen.” Pixel smirked.

Niji groaned as he looked around at the dark cave he was in. He was cold, alone and surrounded by a bunch of goats…

…luckily, the goats only had on the armor. 

“Uh…look, I don’t mean any harm, I’m just VERY scared of goats in general.” Niji stammered. “Nothing against you.”

A goat stomped on his foot. 

“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOUCH!” Niji screamed.

“You are going to love us. Looooooooooooooooove us.” the goats bleated as they walked over.

“C’mon, you know goats scare me.” Niji gulped. 

“Looooooooooooove us, loooooooooooooooooooooooove us.”

“Nonononononono.”

“You know you wanna looooooooove us.” a goat trotted over.

“I’ll…I’ll tolerate you guys, but only for this. Dear god, I BETTER be suffering from a nightmare.” Niji winced, tempted to bite his tongue.
