Regarding Levy not being there - I always kinda thought she went with Gajeel, even if it wasn't shown, since she's not with her team when *dramatic event* happens, plus when she runs up to him after she has the "has been in battle" marks all over her, so she was fighting somewhere, and she wasn't shown with any other group...and if she wasn't with him during the fight, then her being next to him in all the panels leading up to it and then not shown until after is kinda weird.

I really, really hope the anime will expand those fights and we'll find out, anyway, because it's hard to say for sure out of the 2 or 3 whole panels that fight gets in the manga -_-
