Whoops, overread that part... yep "teamed up" against Jackal.. pffffft <_< indeed.

Lucy went after Jackal while Wendy stayed behind to heal Natsu. Splitting up isn't what I consider teaming up.

Besides the only thing Lucy was allowed to contribute to that fight was buying a few seconds of time by getting Jackal monologing instead of acting and providing enough distraction for Natsu to get a free hit in.
