[00:10] ---
    Memory Make Magic...
[00:15] ---
    I swear I'll get you back!
[01:50] ---
    I was told I'd meet you if I came here.
    Chalk up another one for Number One.
[01:55] ---
    Well, well. I almost forgot about you.
[02:00] ---
    Will you help me remember?
[02:03] ---
    Don't bother racking your brain.
     This is the end of the line for you.
[02:08] ---
    Oh, my! Fairy Tail's Gray and Sabertooth's
    Rufus are going to duel in the library area!
[02:16] ---
    Molding Magic versus Molding Magic...
[02:19] ---
    That guy gave Gray a whuppin'
    before. Is he gonna be okay?
[02:24] ---
    Did you calculate this too, Number One?
[02:27] ---
    Yes.
[02:28] ---
    Then Gray's gonna win this fight.
[02:31] ---
    What kind of strategy did you give him?
[02:33] ---
    I don't know if he's going to win or lose.
[02:36] ---
    You don't know?
[02:37] ---
    Then how can he have a chance at winning?
[02:40] ---
    I don't know.
[02:42] ---
    But he just has to win.
[02:45] ---
    Rufus is the key to Sabertooth's fall.
[02:53] ---
    Gray vs Rufus!
[03:00] ---
    Wait a minute, Number One.
[03:03] ---
    Then Rufus has pinpointed the
    locations of Juvia and the others?
[03:08] ---
    That's right. I believe Rufus
    should be defeated first.
[03:13] ---
    Let me do it.
[03:15] ---
    Gray-sama...
[03:17] ---
    Number One, it's okay, isn't it?
[03:20] ---
    According to my calculations, you and Rufus
    aren't a very good match for each other.
[03:24] ---
    The chances of you winning are very...
[03:27] ---
    I don't give a damn about that!
[03:31] ---
    I'm gonna help Lucy. And also pay
    him back for kickin' my ass before.
[03:35] ---
    Let me fight as a Fairy Tail wizard!
[03:50] ---
    Sometimes feelings outweigh calculations.
[03:53] ---
    Please show me your feelings.
[03:58] ---
    Here I go, masked bastard!
[04:03] ---
    Ice Make! Freeze Lancer!
[04:12] ---
    Memorize...
[04:13] ---
    You're not getting away! Ice Impact!
[04:19] ---
    Memorize...
[04:21] ---
    What are you muttering about?
[04:24] ---
    Memories become weapons.
[04:26] ---
    I can memorize magic that I see,
[04:29] ---
    then use those memories as
    a base to mold new magic.
[04:33] ---
    What the hell is that?
[04:34] ---
    Your magic, Ice Magic.
    Orga's magic, Lightning Magic.
[04:41] ---
    Orga...
[04:42] ---
    I remember. Memory Make.
    Sword of Frozen Black Lightning!
[04:58] ---
    What is that?!
[04:59] ---
    He can make original magic,
     however he wants?!
[05:03] ---
    That's Memory Molding Magic.
[05:05] ---
    That's too convenient!
[05:07] ---
    Shrine of the Raging Wind Fang!
[05:13] ---
    Ice Make! Shield!
[05:17] ---
    Shield... Memorize... And then...
[05:22] ---
    Forget.
[05:26] ---
    H-His shield disappeared!
[05:33] ---
    Gray-sama!
[05:35] ---
    Oh, my! Rufus has Gray on the ropes
     with a fierce attack!
[05:40] ---
    Oh, no... He can even make
    people forget magic?!
[05:44] ---
    Even though that Rufus bastard can mold
    whatever kind of new magic he wants...
[05:48] ---
    So once Gray uses a spell,
    he won't be able to use it anymore...
[05:52] ---
    Seriously? Then the odds
    are totally against him!
[05:58] ---
    What's wrong? I thought this
    was the end of the line for me.
[06:03] ---
    What's this?
[06:06] ---
    The Magic System,
    The Book of the Heavens...
[06:14] ---
    The Book of the Abyss,
    Advanced Dark Magic...
[06:19] ---
    Awakening Alchemy in the Subliminal Mind,
     Ancient Fairy Magic...
[06:25] ---
    I found some good things here.
[06:27] ---
    Bastard... This is no
    time for casual reading!
[06:32] ---
    Memorize...
[06:35] ---
    By memorizing, he's...
[06:38] ---
    Don't tell me he can even use
    magic he read about in a book?
[06:41] ---
    Gray has managed to get up!
[06:44] ---
    You can still move? Well, if you couldn't...
[06:49] ---
    I'll make the most of our time together by
    letting you have a taste of ancient magic.
[06:59] ---
    However, I can put a different
    spin on the magic I memorized
[07:04] ---
    and combine it with other kinds of
    magic to produce completely new magic.
[07:10] ---
    That is, it's ancient magic
    with a new interpretation!
[07:14] ---
    What?!
[07:15] ---
    I didn't foresee this. But...
[07:19] ---
    Line of Ancient Master Swordsmen!
[07:25] ---
    Feast your eyes on this
    wondrous ancient magic!
[07:28] ---
    To think, I can create soulless
    soldiers out of stray elements...
[07:33] ---
    But this is a "new interpretation."
    The memories I have of your Ice Molding Magic
[07:37] ---
    have made this brilliant
    dream come to fruition!
[07:41] ---
    He can make that many ice soldiers...
[07:44] ---
    Do something, Gray!
    You're a Man, aren't you?!
[07:47] ---
    Do a pathetic dance for me.
[07:49] ---
    Go to hell! You and your
    second-hand knowledge!
[08:01] ---
    Ouch...
[08:02] ---
    Who is that guy?! Is he just using
    this to, like, test out new magic?!
[08:06] ---
    This... is nothin'...
[08:12] ---
    I see. It seems I should combine forms of
    magic that are a bit more powerful in battle.
[08:18] ---
    Memorized Blade of Flashing Lightning!
[08:25] ---
    Oh, my! W-Will Gray be able to get
    up again after that fierce attack?!
[08:32] ---
    Gray-sama! If I could,
    I would rush to your side...
[08:38] ---
    ...but Juvia believes in Gray-sama!
    So I'll follow Number One's plan.
[08:49] ---
    This interpretation would
    be interesting. Memorized.
[08:53] ---
    Hey, jackass. This is a library.
[08:57] ---
    After reading the books,
    you're supposed to put 'em back!
[09:04] ---
    And there's no cheating, either.
[09:07] ---
    That's too bad. However,
    I've already memorized them.
[09:12] ---
    Colorful Slashing Attack Flames!
[09:21] ---
    Gray-sama is over there...
[09:27] ---
    This battle is a requiem that I sing to you.
[09:32] ---
    Remember this. You'll never beat me.
[09:41] ---
    This is a one-sided fight so far.
[09:42] ---
    In the battle of Molding Magic, will Rufus win?
[09:47] ---
    Infinite combinations, and once he remembers
    a magic he saw, his opponent can't use it.
[09:52] ---
    How can that magic be overthrown?
[09:56] ---
    He's a terrible match for Gray.
[09:57] ---
    I told Gray. Molding Magic is easy to remember.
[10:03] ---
    He was well aware that Rufus could
    wrap him around his little finger.
[10:06] ---
    What kind of strategy did you give him?
[10:10] ---
    There is no strategy.
[10:14] ---
    The power of feelings... I'm betting
    on his feelings, Number Eight.
[10:20] ---
    I'm Number Four...
[10:21] ---
    Number Six!
[10:24] ---
    I wonder if things are going
    well for Natsu and the others.
[10:30] ---
    We keep walking and walking,
    but there's no exit?
[10:33] ---
    Didn't we pass by here before?
[10:37] ---
    Well, Natsu?
[10:38] ---
    No good. Nobody's gotten
    out of here in a long time.
[10:43] ---
    That spells trouble for us.
[10:45] ---
    Come to think of it, Dragon Slayers
    have a strong sense of smell, right?
[10:49] ---
    But human odors don't hang around for long.
[10:53] ---
    Huh? Where's Happy?
[10:57] ---
    What are you doing?!
[10:59] ---
    Look at the skulls lying over there.
[11:01] ---
    Don't pick it up!
[11:04] ---
    What's with you?
[11:05] ---
    Well, this is the capital of
    death... I guess I could say.
[11:08] ---
    Princess Hisui said this is the final
    freedom, where all criminals end up.
[11:14] ---
    This is freedom? Not despair?
[11:18] ---
    She said we wouldn't get outta here,
     but gimme a friggin' break.
[11:22] ---
    Just for that, we're definitely
    gonna get out. I'm fired up.
[11:26] ---
    That's right! If she thinks we'll
    give up, she's sorely mistaken!
[11:31] ---
    If we split up, I'm sure
    we'll find a clue to an exit.
[11:36] ---
    You're all so strong.
[11:38] ---
    Well, most of it is that
     we just don't give in.
[11:42] ---
    Let's hang in there! Every
    pinch has some kind of way out.
[11:50] ---
    Um... Everyone...
[11:52] ---
    No matter how many rocks
    I destroy, there are more rocks!
[11:55] ---
    I guess there are pinches
    that have no way out...
[11:58] ---
    Even though we split up,
    we didn't find anything.
[12:01] ---
    "Hell" is the right word for this place.
[12:04] ---
    I bet that princess is watching
    us struggle and laughing.
[12:09] ---
    She's watching?
[12:11] ---
    Nice hobby she has...
[12:13] ---
    Hobby?!
[12:16] ---
    Happy?
[12:19] ---
    I thought of a good idea!
[12:33] ---
    I thought of a good idea!
[12:35] ---
    What's your idea?
[12:37] ---
    I have a bad feeling about this...
[12:38] ---
    Yeah...
[12:40] ---
    You said somebody's watching us
    and that it's a nice hobby, right?
[12:44] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[12:45] ---
    I bet the kingdom's soldiers
    have us under surveillance.
[12:50] ---
    You mean they're guarding us?
[12:51] ---
    I see...
[12:53] ---
    True, it seems like they'd do that.
[12:55] ---
    Right? So let's get the guards'
    attention and lure them here.
[13:01] ---
    Then we hit 'em!
[13:03] ---
    No! As soon as the guards come
    here, we brilliantly escape!
[13:08] ---
    Well?
[13:10] ---
    I understand what you're saying,
    but this drawing is...
[13:13] ---
    Scary, isn't it?
[13:15] ---
    Lure them here, you say?
[13:17] ---
    We don't know where they are or if they're
    watching us, so how do we get their attention?
[13:22] ---
    I've got it!
[13:23] ---
    That's my Natsu!
[13:25] ---
    Strip!
[13:27] ---
    Excuse me?!
[13:28] ---
    After all, the soldiers are all men!
[13:38] ---
    Like this!
[13:39] ---
    D-Daring!
[13:42] ---
    It was only for work! And we don't
    need to get that much attention...
[13:46] ---
    Isn't this really old?
[13:48] ---
    A Weekly Sorcerer from about
    seven years ago, right?
[13:51] ---
    Seven years ago?
[13:53] ---
    You probably don't know about it, Yukino-san.
[13:56] ---
    This makes me feel nostalgic.
[13:57] ---
    Why do you have that in the first place?
[14:00] ---
    It was lying over there.
[14:03] ---
    There's a journal. "It's been three
    years since I was shut up in here.
[14:07] ---
    As I wait for the end, these
    cheesecake photos soothe my mind.
[14:12] ---
    Mira-tan is cute.
[14:13] ---
    Losing consciousness as Mira-tan
    gazes at me from the page...
[14:17] ---
    Together with Mira-tan..."
[14:21] ---
    I'm suddenly starting to get scared.
[14:23] ---
    The guy never mentioned Lucy.
[14:26] ---
    What do I care?! I shouldn't
    even make a comment!
[14:30] ---
    Then let's do this thing!
[14:32] ---
    I call it "Appeal to Men's Instincts!
    Operation: Cheesecake Escape"!
[14:37] ---
    I'm fired up! Let's go, Lucy!
[14:40] ---
    I'm gonna do it?!
[14:42] ---
    I'll support you!
[14:44] ---
    You're too into it!
[14:46] ---
    And where am I gonna get a swimsuit?
[14:47] ---
    Is Fairy Tail always like this?
[14:48] ---
    There's one on the ground over there.
[14:50] ---
    I hate this in more ways than one!
[14:50] ---
    No, not always.
[14:56] ---
    Jeez! If I'm gonna do this,
    I'm going all out!
[15:00] ---
    But of course!
[15:01] ---
    They may be able to hear you too,
    so let's include a commentary!
[15:06] ---
    Entry number one! Lucy Heartfilia!
[15:10] ---
    Meow! If you don't let us out of here,
    I'm gonna punish you!
[15:15] ---
    I don't know what she means!
[15:16] ---
    Erotic!
[15:18] ---
    Well, not bad...
[15:19] ---
    What is this?
[15:21] ---
    Entry number two! Mirajane Strauss!
[15:25] ---
    You want to see me go all out? Then come
    and get me, but be prepared to die.
[15:30] ---
    That's not what we're
    supposed to be doing here!
[15:33] ---
    Um... After going this far,
    it's hard for me to say this...
[15:36] ---
    ...but if no one is actually watching,
    then isn't it meaningless?
[15:43] ---
    It's better than doing nothing!
[15:45] ---
    Better?
[15:46] ---
    Yeah! I'm sure they'll be right out!
    Don't sell Fairy Tail short!
[15:52] ---
    So I'm countin' on you!
[15:53] ---
    You're putting it all on me?!
[15:58] ---
    Yukino-san, did you smile?
[16:01] ---
    Did I?
[16:06] ---
    Oh, dear! An awesome follow-up attack!
[16:09] ---
    Is Gray helpless to do
    anything but lick the floor?!
[16:17] ---
    I admit it, I underestimated you a bit.
    I didn't think you would hang on this long.
[16:23] ---
    And I'm grateful to you.
[16:25] ---
    For being my guinea pig today as I
    test the ancient magic I memorized!
[16:31] ---
    Showering Ancient Wisdom!
[16:36] ---
    The ancients certainly did come
    up with some heartstoppers.
[16:40] ---
    There's nothing I can't do with magic.
[16:42] ---
    You're sensing that firsthand, aren't you?
[16:44] ---
    I can even control gravity.
[16:47] ---
    At this rate, you'll be crushed by the light.
    And there's no way you can escape!
[16:54] ---
    Oh, boy! Gray can't get up!
[16:57] ---
    Will Ice Molding Magic be defeated
    by Memory Molding Magic?!
[17:03] ---
    Gray-sama, Juvia has faith in you!
[17:07] ---
    In your strength... In the
    strength of your feelings...
[17:10] ---
    That's why Juvia won't turn
    around! Juvia won't worry!
[17:16] ---
    Yeesh. As if...
[17:21] ---
    You can still move?
[17:24] ---
    Defeated, you say?
[17:28] ---
    Molding Magic is magic that gives you freedom.
[17:31] ---
    Isn't that right, Ul?
[17:38] ---
    On top of that, my memories...
[17:44] ---
    Ul, the battles I won with your magic,
[17:48] ---
    and what I got from them.
    The feelings I sensed from them...
[17:54] ---
    Hey, Gray!
[17:55] ---
    Quit dilly-dallying and take this guy out!
[18:04] ---
    Shut up! That's just what I'm about to do!
[18:10] ---
    Oh, my! Has Gray Fullbuster started
    to counterattack at last?!
[18:17] ---
    It looks like you want me
    to hurt you some more.
[18:20] ---
    Nah, I had plenty of that!
[18:24] ---
    Memory Make is pretty damn impressive.
[18:27] ---
    But you know, my own memories can
    turn into big-ass power, too.
[18:32] ---
    That's an interesting thing to say.
    What kind of memories do you have?
[18:36] ---
    I doubt you'd understand.
[18:39] ---
    The pain of getting hit, the frustration
    of losing, the joy of winning, all of that.
[18:46] ---
    They've been driven into this
    body, these fists, and this head.
[18:50] ---
    It becomes my strength in the next fight.
[18:54] ---
    All of my battles up to now, those
    memories, they are all of my power!
[19:00] ---
    The power that's gonna knock
    you for a loop is my memories!
[19:05] ---
    He took it off!
    He took it off! He took it off!
[19:09] ---
    Gray-sama!
[19:12] ---
    He took off his shirt.
[19:13] ---
    He did.
[19:15] ---
    Yeah! That means he's in serious mode!
[19:18] ---
    Everything you've taken up to
    now, dish it out to him, Gray!
[19:22] ---
    That's a unique logic.
    But I don't care for it.
[19:26] ---
    Typically, the weaker the dog,
    the more it barks. Or so they say.
[19:32] ---
    You don't like it? Not that I give a damn...
[19:37] ---
    Remembering is learning. You shouldn't
    use it to focus on emotions.
[19:42] ---
    Your memories are only emotions.
    There's not enough honor.
[19:46] ---
    The memories you have are
    going to destroy you.
[19:50] ---
    What?
[19:51] ---
    Since getting the seal of Fairy Tail, I've
    never lost against the same opponent twice.
[19:59] ---
    Do you have some kind of plan?
[20:02] ---
    Ice Make...
[20:06] ---
    Memorize...
[20:08] ---
    Unlimited!
[20:16] ---
    What is this?
[20:21] ---
    How can his molding be so fast?!
[20:25] ---
    Have you memorized it?
[20:27] ---
    I see!
[20:28] ---
    If he does all that molding at once...
[20:31] ---
    My memory... can't keep up!
[20:36] ---
    Powerful Dance of Chaos!
[20:50] ---
    Except it's unfortunate that it's only ice.
[20:54] ---
    I remember flames that can destroy ice!
[20:58] ---
    Memory Make! Karma of the Burning Earth!
[21:12] ---
    I remember hotter flames than that!
[21:17] ---
    Ice Bringer!
[21:27] ---
    He did it.
[21:32] ---
    You showed us...
[21:35] ---
    ...the power of your
    feelings and their strength.
[21:39] ---
    Gray did it! Fairy Tail won! Rufus lost!
[21:49] ---
    That was wonderful, Gray-sama!
[21:55] ---
    I quit!
[21:57] ---
    Just showing them was a waste of time.
[22:00] ---
    Nobody's come...
[22:02] ---
    That operation failed.
[22:04] ---
    They showed off for nothing.
[22:06] ---
    And I was so sure it would work...
[22:09] ---
    I guess it means they're not monitoring us.
[22:12] ---
    Then maybe we should look
    for another means...
[22:15] ---
    That's all we can do.
[22:18] ---
    I'm tired from thrusting my chest out.
[23:55] ---
    Yay, that's our Gray! I just knew he'd win!
[23:59] ---
    All right! We can't lose either.
[24:01] ---
    We gotta hurry up and get out of these
    caves, then meet up with everyone!
[24:05] ---
    Natsu! Some weird guys are attacking us!
[24:09] ---
    They really are weird! This is perfect!
[24:11] ---
    We'll kick their asses, then get
    'em to tell us where the exit is!
[24:14] ---
    Next time: Garou Knights!
[24:16] ---
    But how are these guys knights?
    Especially that one with the headband!
[24:21] ---
    He's after my fish?!
