Probably should give my five cents, which isn't much because tbh, whilst I didn't mind the chapter I didn't particularly love it either.

I liked everything with Lucy. Glad to see her not taking any shit and slapping Gray. Also liked Gajeel. Glad he also isn't standing for any shit and is prepared to do what's right, even if it means taking out psychoGray. Glad Avatar got up, but they never should have gone down in the first place... so .-. (like, Natsu should have entered the Avatar HQ and then gone straight into Gray v Natsu and then Avatar appear and take them. None of this "beat them then they get up" shit)

Levy was kinda meh :/ I like that she's in the Council and with Gajeel, but her infiltration with little to no explanation was a bit of a cheap shot for the plot.

Natsu and Gray >__> Why can't this end with them just taking each other out? Please! Arg! I mean, I'm sick of Natsu and his "everyone HAS to come back to FT" bullshit. Gray was right there: they all have their own lives and he can't just disappear for a year and then come back and expect everything to be the same. That's so childish and Natsu and I hate it. Annoys the crap outta me. I'm already irked Wendy was dragged away from Lamia. Are Gajeel and Levy later going to be pulled from the Council? Really?

But Gray is also annoying me with his emo-ness and he deserved that slap. Like, come on man, you may have your own path and shit, but letting your friends get attacked and not blinking at Lucy in pain and all that is just gross. Get over yourself. I see why Natsu was so angry, and Lucy too, but at the same time Natsu is annoying me as well, so I really have no side here. Both are being stupid .-.

Ah well~
