The reason why I put Family for Fairy Tail Festival was this: Natsu and the guild prepare for the Fantasia Festival when the ignorant Laxus returned to take over Fairy Tail because of his status as Makarov's grandson he could inherent the guild. But after being impatient, Laxus with the Thunder God Tribe started a Cope D'etat in the form of a Battle Royale, this is also a test of Gajeel's and Juvia's acceptance as part of the Fairy Tail Family.

And for Phantom: After Natsu and the others returned from Galuna, they find that their guild hall is ruined which turned out to be Phantom Lord's doing, tensions between the two have risen to the point which the two guilds have gone to war. Things have become more complicated when the whole was caused because of the private conflict between Lucy and her father.
