There was no reason to involve Laxus. It should have just been Team Natsu vs Ajeel. As someone who's been put in Natsu's situation (a good guy stopping you from fighting a bad guy (no, I won't elaborate)) I think it would have been a lot better for Azeel to weaken Makarov, then Natsu to break free and force Azeel to retreat. It would have the same effect in the long run, but it would leave me far less frustrated.
