A minute and thirty seconds before the explosion. Thomas was inside of his consciousness in an unknown room which Levesaul brought him. Thomas looked around and saw windows and saw the Phoenix's Tears member jumping up and down after their victory over Kali Squad. Then at the last window, Red Skull appeared in front of the door where Manticore was. Red Skull said, "My god."
Manticore smiled and said, "Hello, Red Skull. I'm sorry about this. But you failed to complete your mission. Also, Elizabeth's eyes are mine. That is why they disappeared."
Red Skull asked, "What eyes are you talking about?"
Manticore answered, "The Dragon's Eyes. Thomas tore them out of a Dragon to save Elizabeth from dying. But I killed her by tearing her eyes out. Do you remember that day?"
Red Skull answered, "Yes. It was the day that Thomas disappeared. And yet, he doesn't know who killed her. And that's a good thing because no one knows what'll happen to you if he did find out."
Manticore said, "I hope that he kills me like he did that Dragon."
Red Skull heard that and said, "Thomas didn't kill the Dragon. He only took his eyes."
Manticore heard that and said, "He was never seen after that."
Red Skull said, "He's in Heaven protecting the peace of everyone that has entered it."
Thomas heard that and looked at the window and saw a light and Manticore looked at him and said, "We have talked long enough, brother. It's time to end this."
Red Skull said, "Don't do it, Manticore. You'll die and you'll kill the Royal Family."
Thomas punched the window and Manticore said, "5 seconds before detonation."
Elizabeth heard that and said, "No. Don't."
Eleanor said, "He's really going to fire it."
Thomas continued to punch the window and said, "Break dammit. 4 seconds left."
Elizabeth said, "Dad isn't going to make it."
Rachel said, "We don't have time."
Red Skull said, "I can't make it."
William said, "None of my spirits are fast and strong enough to take on the Jupiter Cannon's blast."
Shelby said, "This isn't looking good."
Millicas said, "Thomas, get up."
Jordan said, "He's not going to make."
Zung said, "I can't sense Thomas anymore."
Eleanor heard that and looked at him and then the Jupiter Cannon was shot and Thomas yelled, "Holy Nova."
Thomas punched the window and it exploded, shattering into millions of pieces. Thomas ran through it and transformed into the Jupiter Dragon and an explosion occurred. Everyone looked at it and Elizabeth started crying and said, "We failed to protect the Royal Family."
The smoke started to get sucked up and everyone saw that and Manticore said, "Impossible."
Red Skull looked out of the window and saw the Jupiter Dragon and the Jupiter Dragon turned back into Thomas and Thomas walked over to Eleanor and said, "I always keep my promise. But I need to get the eyes back."
Eleanor heard that and said, "The eyes?"
Thomas answered, "The Dragon's Eyes. The Dragon needs them back. So I'll get them and then we fight each other."
Eleanor said, "They haven't been seen since Elizabeth was killed, Master."
Thomas said, "Manticore killed Elizabeth. And Red Skull knew about it the entire time. I'll be right back."
Eleanor heard that and Thomas said, "Fire Dragon's Wings." Wings appeared on his back and Thomas flew toward the window of the guild building. Manticore screeched and said, "He's coming this way. He knows."
Red Skull said, "Not possible."
Thomas bursted through the window and landed in front of him and said, "Manticore, I'd like my eyes back."
Manticore screeched and said, "I already lost my will to fight, Thomas. And don't blame my brother for this. He had nothing to do with this."
Thomas said, "I heard everything that you said. Red Skull, we're going to need to talk about this later."
Red Skull screeched and said, "I'm so sorry."
Thomas snapped his fingers and said, "Swap."
Both of his eyes changed to rocks and Manticore said, "I can't see. Why don't you just kill me?"
Thomas answered, "Heaven has asked for the eyes back."
Manticore grunted and Thomas said, "Old age will kill you. And Red Skull, you aren't off the hook."
Red Skull screeched and said, "Understood."
Thomas jumped out of the building and Manticore said, "Shit. You God House Rocks members are insane as hell."
Red Skull laughed and said, "Agreed."
A portal opened and the Dragon flew through it and landed in front of him and said, "Thomas Dragneel. Thanks to you, I've been saved. I can't protect Heaven now."
Thomas smiled and said, "I'm not longer your enemy, correct?"
He said, "You are no longer the enemy. I can't disobey the Angels. So my vengeance will take place in a different timeline, Thomas."
Thomas smiled and said, "I see. You still got those pebbles? Or did you eat them?"
He laughed and answered, "You already know the answer to that, Thomas. I ate them. It's been 700+ years. I thought that I was never going to get my eyes back."
Thomas said, "Well, I did promise you that if I heard good news about you, you would get your eyes back, didn't I?"
He heard that and looked at him and tears started flowing out of his eye sockets and Thomas saw them and said, "You'll need to stop crying for this to work, idiot."
The Dragon asked, "Who the hell are you calling an idiot?"
Thomas answered, "You."
The Dragon and Thomas banged heads together and then the tears stopped and said, "See. The tears stopped."
The Dragon heard that and said, "Oh, you're right."
Thomas looked around and walked over to two pebbles and said, "Lower your head now."
The Dragon did and he hit the ground hard and he roared loudly and Thomas yelled, "You idiot. I only said a little."
The Dragon yelled, "You didn't say shit."
Thomas said, "Don't give me that."
The Dragon yelled, "It's the damn truth dammit."
Eleanor said, "He's telling the truth."
Thomas heard that and asked, "Why didn't you just say so then?"
The Dragon said, "I did say so."
Thomas laughed and said, "Sorry."
He picked up the two pebbles and said, "Don't move now."
The Dragon said, "I'm not."
Thomas walked over to him and placed the two pebbles carefully inside of the eye sockets and said, "You move, you'll be eating your eyes instead of seeing through them."
The Dragon screeched and said, "Alright. Go. I'm not moving."
Thomas took both of the eyes out and snapped his fingers of his left hand saying, "Swap."
The pebbles appeared in his right hand and the Dragon's Eyes appeared in the Dragon's eye sockets and he said, "I can see. Thomas, I owe you again. Thank you."
Thomas said, "No problem."
They punched each other's fists and he said, "Good luck on your mission, Thomas. You'll need it."
Eleanor heard that and Thomas said, "Keep protecting Heaven."
The Dragon said, "Thanks. Make sure you destroy your guild now. They've been attacking a friend of mine's son."
Thomas said, "Natsu Dragneel."
The Dragon said, "Yep. How do you plan on defeating them anyway?"
Thomas smiled and answered, "It's a surprise. Go back to Heaven."
He said, "Agreed. Peace out, Thomas."
Thomas said, "Likewise."
He disappeared and then Levesaul appeared and said, "Look at that, Thomas. You finally did a good deed for the Gods."
Thomas heard that and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Levesaul handed him a scroll and said, "For helping Heaven, Minia has asked me to give this to you. Good luck."
Thomas heard that and said, "Minia, huh?"
Eleanor heard that and Levesaul said, "Talk to you later. But Minia also wants to know how you'll take on the guild that you created 700+ years ago."
Thomas smiled and answered, "It's a surprise. Oh, I gotta go tell the Royal Family that it is safe to come out now."
Eleanor heard that and then Levesaul disappeared and Thomas appeared by the castle and took a deep breath yelling, "It's safe now. You may exit the shelter."
Thomas looked at Eleanor and Eleanor asked, "What about our fight, Thomas?"
Thomas answered, "We'll fight now."
Thomas disappeared and appeared in front of her and said, "Let's begin."
