Mira was taken by surprise because she thought Elfman and Evergreen were getting married. Taking into account Mira's personality, of course something like that would distract her. Erza didn't even try to do something like that because she didn't need to. And after Erza's first attack, Minerva attacked. Erza dodged that as well and hit her again. After only 2 simple attacks from a half dead Pre-SO Erza, Minerva was starting to lose it and attack without thinking. Then Minerva got one-shotted as soon as Erza unlocked her SO. Like hell she's giving Laxus a fight.

1) Pre-SO Erza made that comment. 2) There's a clear difference between blitzing, talking and then attacking compared to blitzing and attacking. 3) Kagura was still not fully serious then. She only got serious here -> http://img4.mangasee.co/series/FairyTail/0314-004.png http://img4.mangasee.co/series/FairyTail/0314-005.png

1) Natsu's LFD is not anywhere near as strong as Laxus's Lightning Magic. Natsu's LFD's offensive power diminishes every time he uses it. http://img4.mangasee.co/series/FairyTail/0259-010.png 2) That was semi-PoF Natsu at best imo. 3) Natsu needs time to charge his LFD attacks. http://img4.mangasee.co/series/FairyTail/0259-008.png http://img4.mangasee.co/series/FairyTail/0375-012.png http://img4.mangasee.co/series/FairyTail/0375-013.png http://img4.mangasee.co/series/FairyTail/0362-012.png http://img4.mangasee.co/series/FairyTail/0362-013.png Minerva observed from the sidelines, while no pressure is being put on her by any opponent, and as soon as she saw Natsu charging his attack she teleported between them and used her Magic. That's nice I guess but it's just not enough for someone like Laxus who doesn't need to charge his Lightning coated punches.

Not really... And you didn't give me durability feats from Minerva here.
