I'm really satisfied by the fact either none or perhaps only one dragon was defeated during the whole incident, the rest went pretty much scratchless. And the one who possibly got taken down for good was fighting with another dragon.

Otherwise I have to say the Lucy parts didn't matter to me at all. I was happier to see Jellal and Erza hugging for half a second and Levy running to Gajeel than all that present and future Lucy stuff.
