Imagine the Dragon

Note: the author's note in the end of this chapter is particularly important.

Note 2: this chapter is so ridiculously random that I might predict BY PURE CHANCE some events/characteristics from the novels/future episodes. The chapter by itself contains no spoiler, but it might look like it to a novel reader or someone from the future.

---------------------------------------------------------

The universe was very young at the time. Well, young in astronomical terms, which makes it a very wide range of time, but you get the idea.

A dragon roamed through space. It was an incredibly ugly looking dragon unlike those in stories.

"Dude! Rude!" Said the dragon, answering to the narrator's description of him.

This dragon was terribly bored.

It sighed: "Ugh, I wish I could possess the right hand of a kid to mess with him and other people" but at the time not even the solar system was formed, let alone humans.

So the dragon waited, planning what it would do once humans were born.

"I am an incredibly powerful being" the beast showed its incredible modesty, "as I can delete all illusions, unlike other spirits."

Wait a second, there are more spirits like you?

It answered: "Well, duh, of course there are. Aren't you the omniscient narrator?"

I mean, yes, technically, maybe I missed that part in the notes.

The dragon explained: "Well, we are 3. They call me Imagine, one of the others is The Blood, and the third is-"

Yes, yes, we don't care.

"But-"

Time for a time skip!

Eons passed but, before we get to our story, we need to stop by in 2012.

A band was on their first world tour until, at one point, an incredibly ugly dragon appeared from nowhere and destroyed the stage, yelling: "I AM YOUR BIGGEST FAAAAAN!!"

And big it was, for how incredibly fat this dragon happened to be.

"Dude, again, rude!"

After that event, the other spirits nicknamed the dragon <<Imagine Breaker>>, as the band it was fan of was <<Imagine Dragons>> and it totally broke their stage back then.

"Wait so my name is just a pun?"

Will you stop breaking the fourth wall?!

"Sorry..." whimpered the dragon.

Life was simple for Imagine Breaker the dragon, until one day...

Kamijo Touma was born.

Imagine commented sarcastically: "Oh wow those parents have totally no plans for him I see."

What do you mean?

"That name is pronounced exactly like the words that mean <<the one that will purify God and slay demons>>. Sounds a bit too much don't you think?"

Heck, yeah! What's wrong with those parents?

"So anyway imma posses that kid's right hand, giving him a marginal power in this world and preventing him from getting any other power. Oh and imma severe the red string of fate because f*ck that kid"

Wow Imagine, don't you think you're being too harsh on him? He's just a baby.

"Next life he'll learn he shouldn't be born with presumptuous parents."

What the...

Before the narrator could say anything else, Imagine the Dragon possessed Kamijo Touma's right hand, giving him the power of cancelling any illusion, like other powers for example. Despite being classified as <<omniscient narrator>>, I still have no idea why would he apply that power to just a part of the body. And why the right hand specifically? Why not, like, the head? Or the left hand? I guess it doesn't matter...

Yada yada yada you all know what happened then with Index and Misaka and everything else, I'm not going to talk about that here.

Kamijo lived a happy life, despite the constant misfortune, the inability to find his soulmate, the lack of any academic skills or recognized ability. Well, I guess it's not really a happy life, but it was a decent one. Despite the numerous times he ended up in the hospital because he was trying to help strangers. Well, maybe not a decent life... but he survived. And <<decent>> is subjective anyway.

One day, Touma met yet another random stranger that required help.

"Oh no! That guy stole my purse that contained the only picture I have of my father because I am too dumb to use a phone, despite living in the city of technology!" Screamed a 13-year-old girl as a high schooler ran away from her holding her pink purse.

"Gasp!" Touma knew he had to do something, so he ran after the thief with all his might.

Imagine the Dragon felt like something was wrong, but it couldn't understand exactly what.

"Hey! Stop running!" Shouted Kamijo, as if that could possibly convince the criminal to obey.

They ended up in a dark alley, and OF COURSE the only one who followed the thief was Kamijo, being the protagonist and all.

"Sup" begun the high schooler with the purse.

"Don't <<sup>> me, lowly [insult that also indicates being the child of unmarried parents]. Give back the purse!"

"Dawg, there is like [the equivalent of 10 cents in Academy city currency] here, I just had to steal the purse for plot convenience."

"I don't care about your illusions! I'll punch them out of you!"

"Oh I get it, so the girl will think you're cool, wink wink." was the thief's answer. He literally said <<wink wink>> by the way.

"Wtf just give it back!" Kamijo stepped forward threatening him with his hand.

"So, you like only have your punch to threaten me? Man, I might have a super cool ability or a knife."

But Touma was confident of his right hand as he clenched his fist: "I fear no ability!"

"Not even one that consists in ripping off you limbs from a distance?"

Touma's jaw and shoulders dropped. Well, the shoulders dropped LITERALLY, the other guy had activated his ability on his opponent's arms.

Imagine the Dragon realized who was behind all that: "It's my old nemesis! The Blood Arm Cutter!"

In case you forgot, The Blood was one of the spirits that roamed the cosmos like Imagine Breaker. The Blood happened to be short for The Blood Arm Cutter, nickname given to that spirit because it accidentally split the band <<The Blood Arm>>.

The Blood had the power to separate anything, metaphorically and literally, and decided to reside in that thief to mess with Imagine the Dragon. After all, permanently disabling a kid was definitely worth an unfunny prank to its fellow spirit, right? (Author's note: no.)

Luckily for Touma, the Frog Doctor could fix him like every time.

Not so luckily for Touma, he was shot a few days later because his story of defeating Accelerator, putting his nose in criminal affairs, and saving the world from crazy magicians was so famous that everyone knew it. Well, what did he expect? He accomplished great feats, did he think he could keep lurking in the dark forever? Heck, even the simple fact that like 5 girls were trying to go out with him at any given time would put him under the spotlight!

So, just to reiterate, yes he died after being shot to the head multiple times.

But hey, the good news it that the thief gave back the purse because it had nothing of value in it.

There we go, our story has drama, a sad ending and the bad guy kinda redeems himself. This should earn me the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Imagine answered: "Sorry, narrator, I gotta delete that illusion of yours too..."

Yeah, I know. Sigh.

---------------------------------------------------------

Author's note: this chapter is supposed to be sillier/even more random than all other chapters so far. So much, in fact, that it never happened. Like, obviously being a fanfiction it's not canon for the original story, but everything that happens in this chapter will NOT have even the smallest impact imaginable in the future chapters.

As I said, this didn't really happen, and next chapters will develop as if this was never even imagined by anyone.

All I wanted to do here was an exploration of a plausible ability that could easily defeat Imagine Breaker, at least based on how Touma can decide to use it in the anime as of today. Any further application/ability discovered in future episodes/novels, if any is added by the original author, is not relevant to this chapter.
