Between Franmalth already pulling out his strongest soul and Happy being close-by, there's unfortunately the chance that Natsu will make quick work of egg-head and fly after Wendy.

As long as Wendy and Natsu fight together, I would have no problem with Natsu being there to battle Ezel. I'd only mind if Wendy was reduced to spectator, like it just happened with Lucy.

But then I'm not really a Natsu hater. From the character perspective he's doing to best he can. If he intentionally held back and put his comrades in danger by doing so, it'd be far worse. If I blame anyone for Natsu always having the opportunity to take over the fights, it's Mashima, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it hate... well... maybe the first few minutes, but once I calmed down, it's going back to disappointment and annoyance, rather than hate.
