A year has pass since the disbanded of jo's team as he ended up with kurihara mari in her world. They live with each other for years, eventually having a family of their own with a son named John.
John when he gets older was a carefree child like most but at a young age has a weak immune system at birth and get sick quite often, but when he's older his immune system improves. At a young age he behave at school and is a respectful kid, but doesn't socially that often, he struggle to have any friends, yet alone talk in a conversation.
His relationship with his parents is pretty good, his mother loves and cares for him, same goes for his father, his mother can be strict at times while his father seem to be a little closer to him.
When he was four his mother soon have another child who was a boy who name's brad, john cares for his bro even know he did have a rough start with him.
John met mari other friends who she still kept in touch with her, the first person he met was a tall girl with white hair and glasses, her name was shiraki meiko. At first, she didn't seem to fond of john, yet alone her husband but so far, her feelings towards john is mutual, unlike her husband.
Then john met Hana midorikawa, she was the one who at times babysit john and his brother, her feelings toward them are pretty good, she actually like spending time with them, regardless of her history with her husband. She actually like children and they were happy to be around her, john enjoy his time with her more than meiko, he always think of her as an old woman due to her hair when he was young.
John did met his mother other relatives, such as her father and sister, john doesn't have much recollection of his grandfather, since his mother told him that he met him when he was a baby, ever since then he basically disappeared afterwards. And as for his aunt he did met her twice, one for when he was a baby and the last time when he was five. Her relation with him didn't seem to great, but at the same time she seem to like him but is unsure whether she mean it or not.
Overall john is still a good person, kind, respectful and usually positive, an ordinary kid really. But still have a sense of wanting an adventure of sort, and would like a friend or two, but gain the courage to do so.
But then one day when he was 10 years old, his family went off to town to get to a certain store, they were about to cross a street. His brother was holding one of his toy which was old and seemingly falling apart, they cross the street when a part of his toy appendage fell off in the middle of the road, brad notice this and ran back while calling out to it.
This caught the other attention as his mother call out to him, but suddenly a truck was coming up quick as mari notice this, she quickly ran up to him and grab him but the truck was going fast it didn't notice them. But before it could hit them, a unforeseen force stop the truck from crashing into them.
Everyone who notice this was shock to see what happened, to everyone the truck stop suddenly leaving a big dent in front of it, mari saw the whole thing but was confuse at what caused it.
Jo though saw the whole thing, he saw what crash into the truck, it was his stand, Spirit eagle. He was shocked and surprise to see his stand manifest and saved his wife and son, but was very confused but put it aside to check if they're alright.
They left early, letting all that in as everyone was shook but also confused, jo was very concerned which caught her attention, she seem suspicious of him as they were home. She soon confront jo about it.
"Hey, what happened back there, you didn't help when that truck was coming at us."
Jo looks at her with a look of concerned, it shift to a small smile.
"I guess I did more than what I expected."
She was confused.
"What did you mean?"
She almost sounds angry, jo said.
"You didn't seen what stop it, didn't you?"
She was quiet, she have to admit, nothing stop it, but something did but it wasn't clear.
"No, I hadn't. But what does that mean?"
"Mari...I saw what stopped it, you would not believe what it was."
She was surprise to hear that, but didn't understand what he mean.
"What, what do you mean you saw it?"
Jo sigh, trying to figure out what to say.
"Okay, I give it to you straight. You know I been through a lot with my old team, during one of our little adventures I acquire something you would call, a power."
She seem a little perplexed, but as she remember that this person she's with doesn't belong in her world so it shouldn't be that hard to believe. Plus that person who teleport make it easy to understand.
"And uhm, this power I have, is called a stand."
"A, stand?"
"Yes, a stand. A stand is a manifestation of a person fighting spirit and energy, basically their soul. They come in many forms and their powers depends on their user."
"Okay, if you have a stand then why I couldn't see it?"
"Well, that's because only stand user can see stands."
"Really?"
He nod his head.
"Yep. My stand stop that truck, but what really make me confuse was why?"
"Hm? What do you mean why?"
"Oh, right, uhh, my stand has a automatic ability that if anyone I care for is in danger it will protect them from any harmful things. Whether is physical or magical. Is a, requiem thing.
"A requiem? What's that?"
"Oh, uhh that. Is well, is quite a long story"
She seem like she's being left out on so many things.
"But what really confuse me is that, my stand shouldn't be here. This world isn't magical is normal."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that my stand only manifest in magical worlds and this world isn't magical. Something happen, whether this world suddenly have magic or maybe something is up with them."
"Hm? Who's them?"
"Is a long story, for short they're the reason I'm here in the first place."
She let all that info in, unsure on how to feel about it. Outside the room john heard the whole conversation wondering more about this.
Eventually jo said he'll get to the bottom of this but john was curious about this, he wanted to ask his father about this but figure he shouldn't.
From that forward on jo has been leaving the house more often than usual, probably trying to find the reason why stands are here. It has been a year since that incident and jo seem indifferent about things, mari seem a bit concerned and want him to stop this exploration, jo wants to agree but wasn't sure. John though was still curious about stands and wonder about his father stand, so he went up to him and asked.
"Hey dad?"
"Yeah?"
He took a second to think about it.
"Dad, i have to confess something..."
"Hm? What is it?"
"I... Overheard you and mom talking in the room about, stands."
"Oh... You heard that? It has been a long time."
"Yeah. I was just wondering, about your stand, and how you got it."
"Oh. Uhh, well that's quite a story. Okay, i guess i should tell you, you're getting older after all."
Jo took his time to tell him.
"My stand is name spirit eagle, is a strong stand with different abilities, uhh i don't know if i should tell you everything but i will tell you how a person can earn one."
"Really?"
John seem very interest in that.
"Yeah, so theirs some ways on how to earn one. The first is by an arrow. Now is not guaranteed that you will gain one, you see if you have the will or fighting spirit to have one then you might earn one. But if you don't, you'll die."
"What? Really?"
"Yep, i know is something else. But another way on how to earn one is actually very hard. Is by earning one, is slightly complicated but yeah. Last way to earn one is well, just simply being born with one.'
"Really?"
"Yeah, basically. But that's how you attain a stand."
"Hm... How did you get one?"
"Oh, uhh. Jeez it's been a long time. I think it was, well is hard to say. Once i went to the world where stands originated i suddenly have one, maybe it was earned i'm not sure, it has been long."
"Oh, okay then."
He look at him and had a warm smile."
"Hey, you not planning on trying to gain one right?"
"Uhh... No."
"Hum, well good luck with that cause i don't even know if others can have one here. But i could be wrong."
Jo walks away as john was left wondering about what he said. From then on he can't help but think about stands, what his dad stand is and what his stand could be, from then on john has been more produced than usual and been working hard, almost like he's trying to see if he has what it takes but so far it doesn't seem like much has change.
Another year has pass and john is 12 years old, he was at school about to head to his classroom when he saw a group of boys surrounding someone, he heard a female voice pleading them to leave her alone but they didn't seem like they will listen. It almost turn to where they were laying their hands on her, john saw the girl, she was quite beautiful looking with a nice frame but shorter than the boys who was mostly towering over her.
At this point he needs to step in, one of his mother advice was to help anyone he can, including if people were harassing others. Right now a girl who's defenseless against 4 boys need some help, john dislike people like them and step in.
"Hey!"
They turned their attention on him as they didn't seem to please to see him, the first person who speak was a tall boy with black hair, he didn't seem to fond of john interruption.
"What do you want john? Ain't you suppose to be in class right now?"
Another person spoke up with an annoying voice.
"Yeah, you're going to be late!"
John didn't seem impress by their intimidation.
"I'm not going anywhere, you'll leave her alone right now."
They chuckle at his respond as the guy in front of him went closer to him.
"Or what? You'll gonna call the teacher? You always a know it all you know, why don't you piss off?"
John anger was building up, he wants to hit this person so bad as he heard the girl.
"Just get out of here and get somebody!"
"Yeah, leave with your tail in-between your legs."
They chuckle again as john had enough, he suddenly felt an energy flow through him as without realizing he saw a decapitated light blue arm appeared and punch the man in the face as he flew to john's right and landed on the floor, this caught their attention and was stun and surprise by it. The man on the floor was in anguish as he hold on to his head, the others were a little frighten and john was speechless. One of the boys spoke.
"Jesus, man you okay?"
He took a look at john and was afraid to even reach to him.
"Come on, let's get out of here."
They agree as the girl stare at the man on the floor still in pain, she look at him with mixed feeling but move away without saying.
"T-thank you."
She head off as john look at him and quickly head off to class.
John did get in trouble about this and was sent to the principal office, the boys said that john attack him but john told him that he actually never lay a hand on him, they find it hard to believe, even know john told him that he was simply defending a girl they were harassing. They did admit to it but john was written up for this and will be spending time in detention for this. Worst of all they inform his parents about this.
John was afraid of that as he went home today to face his consequences.
When he was in his home his parents were already sitting at the couch, his mother was not happy while his father seem indifferent. Mari was the first to speak.
"John, i cannot believe you just start a fight in school. You should of know better than to do such a thing."
"B-but mom, i, didn't actually hurt him."
Jo then said.
"What do you mean you didn't hurt him?"
Jo thought a for a second and said.
"I didn't hurt him, an arm just appeared and punch him."
Jo was perplex a little as mari didn't seem to convince.
"Really? That's what attack that boy? You know that we're have to cover his dental payment right"
Jo was in thought and said.
"This arm you said, what did it look like?"
Mari look at him a bit unpleased with jo response.
"It was, light blue."
"Light blue? And it came out of nowhere?"
"Yes?"
"Where are you going with this?"
Jo looks at her.
"Hon, i believe i might know what happen."
She seem a bit confused as john was wondering what he meant.
"Son, can you see this?"
Suddenly a glow appeared and a humanoid person with a eagle hand with no lower half appeared, john was stun by it which made jo surprise.
"You, you can see it?"
"See what?"
Jo look at him as his stand disappeared.
"You won't believe this, but john has a stand."
"What?"
She didn't seem to believe it as john was quite shocked to hear this too, jo said.
"How did you manifest your stand?"
John was unsure and couldn't put it in words.
"I-i don't know."
We were a little speechless at first as mari still wasn't happy about this.
"Well either way, john you just can't hurt anyone even if you have a stand."
"I-i know mom, but those guys were harassing her, i just couldn't just stand there and do nothing."
She sighed, jo was unsure about this as mari said.
"Either way, john i know you did what you believe was right, but violence wasn't the answer."
"Ain't you created a prison and have your friends beat up the prisoners?"
"That was long time ago, and besides this is john we're talking about."
"Well, john just manifest his stand for the first time, of course he doesn't know how to control it."
"And your suggestion?"
Jo looks at him.
"I'll train him."
"Really?"
"Yes, i do believe john now knows what to and not to do with his stand. I'll have him learn how to use it properly and teach him to control it."
She was in thought for a moment, she came to a conclusion.
"Fine, but if you know how to use it, Don't use it to harm others."
"I won't mom."
"Good, for the time being you go to your room, i'll call you if dinner's ready."
"Okay mom."
John left as mari stood up.
"You better know what you're doing."
"I have experiences with my stand for years, i believe he's in good hands."
He let out a small smile as mari seem to find trust in his words.
"Okay, just don't let him get to into his stand or whatever."
"I'll try not to."
"Okay."
She left as jo was left with his thoughts and couldn't believe that his son has a stand now, he was conflicted about it but was looking forward training his son on how to use a stand.
A few mouths later, jo has been teaching his son on how to use his stand and some tips, so far john has been quite a fast learner and was getting the hang of it, but so far even after training a lot his stand still hadn't fully manifest itself. Then one day when he was in the bathroom he went to the sink to wash his hand when suddenly water spray out of the handle and hit directly at john's face, he cover the water with his hand as he push the water with his hand but the stream was too strong. He then used both hands to block it and the water went through his fingers and hit his eye as he separate his hand and all of a sudden the water wasn't hitting him anymore.
"Huh?"
He blinks and saw that the water separated into two stream now hitting a wall and the other side landed in the bathtub, john was shocked in disbelief which ended quickly as he heard his mother call out to him.
"John? Are you okay in there?"
He jump slightly and look back only to be hit by the stream again, he was about to say something but instead he reacted to the water hitting him, this made his mother concerned.
"John, what's going on in there?"
He wants to do it again but for some reason it wasn't happening again, he try his hand separation again but he doesn't know if it's working. At this point he doesn't know what to do.
"Mom the sink handle broke off and the water is spraying me!"
"Oh my- John, theirs a smell valve underneath the sink, twist it!"
He did just that as the water die down as it stops, john was relieved but remember that he just split the stream just a second ago, he couldn't think too much about it as his mother said.
"John, is the bathroom wet? N-nevermind, if it is just clean up the mess."
He heard her walk away as he look at the water sliding down the wall and himself soaked, he did exactly that and after that he left the bathroom and went to his father to tell him what happen.
"Hey dad?"
He looks at him.
"Yeah son?"
"Uhh, i have to tell you something. Uhm, i just... I think i just used my powers."
Jo was shocked with his eyes wide open as he looked around.
"You used your power?"
He whisper.
"Yeah."
Jo got up and got a little closer.
"I-i can't believe it, what kind of power was it?"
"Uhh, i think i can mess with water."
"Really? I heard that the sink in the bathroom just broke, i need to figure out how to fix that later but you just gain a stand ability."
"Wait, my stand ability?"
John was ecstatic and wonder if that was the case.
"i can't believe it."
"Me too, but son, you have to show me."
He wave his hand over his shoulder.
"Come on, follow me."
John follow him out of his room and went into the kitchen as mari just left, jo grab a cup and pour water in it and put it on the table, he looks at his son and said.
"Can you try moving the water?"
John wasn't sure, he doesn't know if what happen was a fluke or what but he didn't seem to confident in using his ability yet.
"I... Don't know if i could do it."
"Huh? But you said you could mess with water."
"Yeah but, that was when water was spraying my face. I don't know if i could even move it."
Jo was in thought, unsure of it but was determine to see if he can try.
"John, stand abilities depends on the user will, just try."
He looks at him, giving him a steady gaze as john looks back at it and summon his stand arm and just hover above the cup of water and for him, he concentrated. Trying to move it, even a bulge would be enough as he was trying, he cover his eyes now really concentrating on moving that cup, he was new desiring it to move as something was slowly giving form behind john, a transparent blue smoke was manifesting. Jo couldn't believe it as he look down and notice that water was moving like a drip fell in the cup as jo look at john and notice sweat appearing. Then all of a sudden a baby blue aurora surround john as his stand took appearance.
It was an anthropomorphic dragon that look like a Japanese folklore one, with baby blue color and blue eyes. It also have weird cracks on is torso, as john stand grip his right hand and suddenly water jump out of the cup, shocking john and jo, even mari who just enter the kitchen.
"W-what the?!"
John stand had a frighten look as it disappeared as he look back to see them standing there. Mari stun look quickly turn a bit sour.
"Okay, what's going on here?"
John was the first to take control.
"Mom, it was my fault. I just discovered my powers just recently."
She lift an eyebrow in surprise that john used his ability but was then was upset.
"So, you decided to use it in the kitchen?"
She looks at jo with a disappointed look.
"And you didn't stop him?"
"...I encourage it."
"Wha- You encourage it?"
She looked really upset, john felt like he's in trouble as jo said.
"I know i know, but i just. Wanted to know what he could do."
"Jo, you know better how stands work, who know what john could of done."
"I know, but john said that his ability was to mess with water, so i figure he could manipulate water."
"Yeah, when the water was hitting me, i accidently split the water in two and i didn't know how."
Mari was a bit impress but still upset, she sighed.
"Okay, fine but here on out. No more stands or power or whatever, you both understand me?"
"Okay."
"Mom, did you see anything else?"
"No, i hadn't"
That means that she still can't see his stand.
"Why did you asked?"
"Well that's because our son has manifest his stand completely."
"What? Really?"
"Yep, you would not believe what it was."
"Really? Well what is it?"
John look at his father who has a small smile.
"Uhm, is a humanoid blue dragon."
She was quite surprise to hear that, she let out a smile.
"Really? Your stand is a dragon?"
She looks at jo.
"And you might have an answer why his stand is a dragon?"
"I think we all know why, john's a huge dragon fan ever since he watch that old fantasy movie."
John looks at him.
"You mean neverending story?"
"Yes that one."
Mari slightly chuckle.
"Not just a dragon fan, just a reptile fan as well."
"Yep, still taking care of that turtle."
"Yeah."
"Anyways, you guys know the drill right?"
"Yes mom."
"Yes ma'am."
"Good, now clean this up john, i need to finish dinner."
"Okay."
And after that the evening was quiet, and from here on out john hasn't use his stand for two years, after graduation john was already planned on which high school he will go to, his mother assign him to her old high school which for some reason is accepting seven male students. It feel like history is repeating itself that this would be the case, but she certainly hope that what happen in her school year with not happen again.
After the events with john stand, he sometimes forget his stand but never did, since he named his stand, is called: Imagine dragon.
