Irony. You might want to look up the specific kinds of irony (dramatic, verbal, etc.) to see exactly which you are looking for.

Deus ex machina. Literally it means, "God of the machine". What it really means is that the writer is like God in relation to his/her story. Even if there is no realistic way certain things can happen, a writer can make those things happen in a story just because it is his/her story. For example, in the movie, "The Matrix" there is no realistic way Neo can beat up Mr. Smith. But he does.
