Dimensional Pool

In another secret door in Tigen's bedroom, there lies a large dimensional pool surrounded by nothing but complete and utter dimensional energy. It is impossible for those who are not able to manipulate dimensional energy to get into here. There is a severe electrical storm always brewing inside and outside due to the dimension's power. The pool's purpose is for Tigen to not only see into other dimensions and into places of this dimension, but to retrieve things from them. Usually, it's used to see into Tigen's dimension and see how bad the damage is and if things are getting worse, however Tigen cannot enter that dimension, even through the pool. Basically, an instant portal to anywhere.

Tigen entered through the door after coming from his room, feeling a bit queasy "Guhhh... What is this...? Tigen was just fine when Tigen was downstairs with Kumiko and Fubuki and Sadi.. guuuh..." Tigen's flame began to flicker brightly, then dimly, before one of the intense storm bolts hit Tigen, making him spew his flame in quite an odd fashion "BURRAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Tigen wasn't really hurt by it, but for some reason that magnetic storm bolt thing made him feel even worse... He fell to the ground, staring into the pool. "Normally, that bolt wouldn't do anything to Tigen... Tigen must have something going on inside of Tigen..." Tigen looked up to the sky, seeing nothing but complete and utter dimensional energy and oddly colored lightning. Tigen's eyes then widened as he looked down to the ground. His flame spewed from his mouth in a large amount, almost like he was throwing up... He coughed, flame still spewing and fell to the ground. His flame fizzled out. No one could get into this place, so no one could save him if he was dying... But he was not dead. Tigen's lifeless body began to float into the air again, small candle-like flames flowing from his head of all different colors; Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Black, White, Purple, Gray, Orange. all 9 of his flames had exited from his head and were floating as if they were their own person. In fact, their own Tigen bodies were formed, too, matching their personalities, the pumpkin faces matching the most. The original Tigen body did not respond, yet it continued to float lifelessly in the air.

Tigen's flames now began to speak, since they had their own body.

Yellow Tigen: Uh, what is this, some sort of intervention? Conference of Tigens?

Blue Tigen: Chill, Yellow. It's nothing that we can't handle. None of us know what's going on...

Red Tigen: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? TIGEN WANTS TO KNOW RIGHT NOW!!

Blue Tigen: Chill, chill. Us Tigens will get through this.. whatever it is.

White Tigen: Could it be because of... the bolt? Or was it our sickness? Regardless of what it was, it was something that was happening recently...

Black Tigen: Perhaps it pertains to us as separate Tigens, being the reason why we separated... If Tigen can get away from all of you for a lifetime through this, Tigen will do it...

Red Tigen: Quit being such an evil bitch, Black! What if you're destroyed because of this, huh? Yeah, THOUGHT SO.

Orange Tigen: Mmmhnnayyhh... um... I thinkz we shuld um... I want sumz um... Lez all go out fer Frozty Choklate Milkshakz!!!111oneone.

Other Tigens in unison: SHUT UP, ORANGE!!!

Green Tigen: ohohohohoh, what are we gonna do? Tigen has no clue what to do! What do we do!?!? WHAT DO WE DO!!!??!

4 large podiums erupted from the pool, shocking all of the Tigens. There were 3 surrounding one huge and tall one in the center of them. They had words carved into them. The 3 surrounding the largest podium said "Clear, Nothing, Nightmare." The largest podium had the word "Dimension" carved onto it. The Tigens floated there in confusion.

The Tigens pondered on what to do about this, looking back to each other.

Yellow Tigen: What are those...? Could those be the answer...?

Purple Tigen was silent, trying to exit the Dimensional Pool, however he could not. When separated, it seems that none of them had any of their Dimensional powers. Purple knew this now, and everyone else, seeing Purple try to escape now knew this, too.

White Tigen: Perhaps the way for us to get out of here... And return back into one Tigen.

Gray Tigen: Face it... there is nothing we can do... We'll just rot here and get devoured by the dimensional energy storms... siiigh...

White Tigen hugged Gray Tigen: Don't say things like that! Tigen knows that these are the answer! We just have to figure out what they mean...

Black Tigen: Haha, give it up, White. Gray is right, there is no way we can get out. It seems Tigen is stuck with all of you until we really are devoured... and who KNOWS when that'll be... Ugh, what a displeasing event...

Green Tigen, floating around in a hyper panic: OH NO, THERE'S NO WAY OUT AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!?!?! What can we do!? Let's get out, let's get out, let's get out now! SOMEBODY SAVE US!!

Red Tigen: "Shut... Up... GREEN!!!!" Tigen fires a barrage of Liquid Balls at the Green Tigen, who is hit out of his unsuspecting panicked state.

Green Tigen is suddenly infuriated "OOoo! You'll pay for that one, Red!" He moved around erratically and swiftly, throwing a large amount of Liquid Needles at Red, who dodges them by floating downward.

White Tigen tries to calm them down "Okay, okay, no need to fight in here! The Tigens will make it through this! Don't succumb to fighting!"

Black Tigen, shaking his head and laughing at White "You really try, don'tcha? Doesn't matter. You'll never break them up. Hell, Tigen might as well egg em on." He shouted out to Red "HEY, RED! GREEN SAID YOU WERE WEAK AND INCOMPETANT!" Tigen snapped his fingers "Now, he should be pissed off quite a good amount..."

White Tigen was starting to lose his cool "Black... If you insist on fighting so much... You should fight me." A white glow starts to omit from Tigen.

Black smirks "Hah. It'll be Tigen's pleasure to kick your ass." A dark glow omits from him.

Blue, Purple, Gray, Yellow and Orange seem to not want to fight, for they're not as aggressive at the other 4. Orange is too tipsy, Yellow is too plain, Gray is too sad, Purple is too silent and Blue is too cool.

Red heard Black's remark and his head bursted with the red flame "AUGH! GREEN! TIGEN WILL KILL YOU!!!" He fired off a large liquid ball that was searing hot, just as Green fired one that was swift and surrounded with cutting winds. Their attacks collide and explode. They dart at each other and lock hands, both immediately shooting Concentrated Liquid from both hands at the same time, forcing them apart in a great explosion. Black and White dart at each other, each punching with a Liquid Fist filled with darkness and a Liquid Fist filled with light, both exploding and canceling each other out. White creates large Liquid Balls filled with Light and throws them at Black, using Liquid Barrage. Black waves his hand and sends a Liquid Wave of darkness at the balls, once again being canceled out. Red and Green both dart at each other, surrounded in a vortex of Liquid energy, intensely hot for Red and surrounded with wind for Green. They collide and explode once more, falling to the ground. Black and White slam into the ground at the same time Red and Green do, however they are both trying to use Liquid Floor, Black making liquid darkness and White making liquid light. The two liquids begin to merge somewhat before passing each other and attacking the other. They swirl together making some type of black and white spire, then split into 2 black and white spires and bend and stretch to attack them both. Once that is done, the liquid dissipates and all 4 of the fighting Tigen's are left on the ground, however they are not finished yet. Red floats up just a bit, charging his hand with some liquid that seemed to crackle from the heat, as Green floats up holding both hands out that are surrounded in Liquid energy. Black's whole body is covered in darkness liquid as White's is covered in light liquid. They are all about to attack when an unknown, echoey, graceful yet stern and eerie voice yells out "STOP." All of the Tigens stop what they are doing as the lifeless Tigen begins to shake violently.

As each of the Tigens are looking, they notice something about the original, shaking Tigen. His flame seems to have returned to his body. The lifeless Tigen raised his head and excreted another candle-like flame, however it was clear... the Clear Flame's body was formed in front of the lifeless Tigen, which was indeed magnificent to look at. Clear looked to all of the Tigens, saying nothing, for they knew already what he was going to say without him even looking at them. White suddenly realizes something.

White: Wait! The podiums! The one that says Clear must be designated for Clear Flame Tigen! So then the other 2, Nothing and Nightmare must be for the Nothing and Nightmare Flame Tigens! Ingenius!... But... what about the one in the middle?"

Clear just looked at White with a congratulatory face for him figuring it out. Clear floated towards the podium and took a seat on it, his head glowing brightly with the flame burning on the outside of his head, engulfing it completely.

The others watched in awe as this happened, then looked to the lifeless Tigen to see if another flame would pop out, which it did. This flame was unable to be seen, but its presence could be felt... The Nothing Flame. Nothing Flame's body formed around it, which was indeed transparent and just an outline of a body, signifying the nothingness that it really was. Nothing remained silent just as Clear did, floating to the podium designated for him. He sat, the unseen flame rising to engulf his head, burning brightly, though no one could see it.

The others once again turned back to the lifeless Tigen, awaiting the final flame to come from him. It did, the Nightmare flame. It was red and black and a bit hellish looking, the body forming around to to be nightmarish and hellish, too. Everyone kinda feared that one, except for Black, Purple and Gray. Nightmare floated towards his podium, nightmares spewing form his body as a sinister laugh came from the outter parts of the dimensional pool... oddly enough, it was him. He could throw his voice, okay? He took a seat on his podium, the red and black flame consuming his head in a fashion as all of the others did. All 3 of the flames grew larged and became intensely bright.

The tops of the flames began to converge in the center, directly over the tallest and final podium.

White: Wait, don't tell Tigen that... those 3 flames are going to MAKE the Dimension Flame themselves? What... what would that flame be like?

The flames continued merging into one flame, explosions being made in the process. The flames seemed to be unstable merging with each other and were becoming quite dangerous and violent. It was highly doubtful that the Clear, Nothing and Nightmare flames would become a Dimensional flame just by merging themselves... No, it required something more. The pool then began to flow upward, small droplet beginning to fly into the air. The pool was going to assist, which is why this had to be done here. This was the whole reason why Tigen was sick and was brought into this room. Unconsciously, he knew what was going on and that it was time for this flame to be made. The droplets of the Dimensional Pool slithered into the converging flames at the largest podium and began to stabilize it. The flame became smaller and smaller, back into a normal candle-like flame. It was quite spacial looking, crackling with an unknown energy. It had been stabilized, and all in the Dimensional Pool knew this. The pool calmed as the 3 surrounding podiums began to fall back into the pool. The 3 Tigens on these podiums had their flames flow back into their heads and they floated off, flying back into the lifeless Tigen. The other Tigens looked in a disappointed yet awed state, all thinking at the same time "WE JUST HAD TO FLY BACK INTO TIGEN TO GET TO NORMAL!? GODDAMMIT!!!!" All of them floated back into the lifeless Tigen, and once the last one entered Tigen's body, his flame rekindled and spurted from his mouth in an overdramatic fashion. Tigen patted his chest "Wooooh! Tigen feels a hell of a lot better! At least now Tigen knows some things about some stuff and stuff..." Tigen looked up to the Dimension Flame, the most gorgeous, powerful and great flame of them all. Tigen floated to it, being slapped away by some of the crackling energy flowing around it. It spake.

Dimension Flame: Tigen. You are not ready to wield my power. You have no such power as to even contain me inside of yourself... you can barely control the 3 super flames you have inside of yourself now... Learn to harness your power and come back to me, I will always be waiting inside of this Dimensional Pool. I am the essense of its power, and I am the essense of these dimensional storms you see before you. This was the only time I could be created, however this was not the time for you to achieve me. That it why I shot that bolt at you earlier... It was time. Now, I give you the best wishes, for you and I must depart...

The podium began to sink back into the pool, the flame giving the pool a great sheen once it seeped back into it. The dimensional storms calmed for a small moment as the door opened back up for Tigen. Tigen nodded to the flame and promised that he would come back when he felt that he was ready. Tigen floated out of the door, thinking deeply on this matter...
