I just want Gildarts back! T_T

Maybe a Laxus-Gildarts tag team. 'Cuz Laxus' fighting style is one of the most boring out there, rivalled by only Jellal. But Laxus would hardly take orders, but he might if it was Gildarts.

And Gildarts is goofy and all, but he can definitely use his Magic properly when required. And, for all his talk of not being good at holding back ... well, he pulverized a mountain (hill, if you feel like mountain is too intimidating), but the destruction was nowhere near that level when fighting Bluenote, so it's pretty obvious he was holding back. Wouldn't want to blow holes in his own holy land, now would he? ;D <- This makes sense only if you consider that Mashima is consistent with his feats. :P

Still, Gildarts ordering Laxus around would definitely make Laxus a more interesting combatant without having him act OOC. \( ^_^)/
