@Legato: maybe, though with his losing streak shouldn't Mashima be bored about it and just let him win a decent battle for once? It's kinda being overused, imo.

@Abe: actually, more or less Laxus likes to fight people who have or have had an affiliation with Fairy Tail. xD I would just say that he likes fighting his family but I remember that Hades was Grimoire Heart's guild master.
