Not long after they arrived at the alzado [270] town, and the alzados were glad when they saw Aponitolau and they said to him, “You are the only man who ever came to our town. Now you cannot return home. We inherit you,” said the bravest of them. “Ala, if you say that I cannot go back home, you summon all the people in your town, for we are going to fight,” said Aponitolau, and the alzado said to him, “You are very brave if you wish to fight with all of us.” So the bravest summoned all the people to prepare, for Aponitolau wished to fight all of them. The people were surprised that one man wished to fight with them, and they said to Aponitolau, “One of my fingers will fight with you. Don’t say that you will fight with all of us.” Aponitolau replied, “Do whatever you wish. I still want to fight you.” The alzados were angry. The bravest of them ran toward Aponitolau, and he threw his spear and headaxe and Aponitolau jumped. The alzados were surprised, for he jumped very high, and they all began to throw their spears at him, and they ran and tried to cut his head off. Aponitolau jumped and he secured all their spears and headaxes, and he said to them, “Am I the next now?” “Yes, because we are now unarmed.”
Aponitolau used magic so that when he threw his spear it would fly among them until they were all dead. When he threw his spear it flew to all the alzados and killed all of them; so Aponitolau again used magic, and his headaxe cut off the heads of the alzados, and Aponitolau sat by the gate of the town. The little bird flew by him and said, “The good sign which I gave to you, father, was all right and you have killed all the enemies.” Aponitolau said, “Yes.” As soon as the headaxe had cut off all the heads from the dead alzados, he used his power again so that all of the heads went to Kadalayapan. The heads went first and he followed them, and the little bird always followed him.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the town the little bird flew away and Aponitolau used magic so that the heads were stuck around the town. As soon as the heads were placed around the town, Aponitolau commanded all the people in his town to go and invite the people who lived in different places to come and attend his big party. He told them to invite all the pretty girls who never go outdoors. So the people went all over the world to invite the people to attend the party. As soon as the people arrived in Kadalayapan they played the gansas and danced and Aponitolau said to Kanag, “Come down, Kanag. Do not stay always in the tops of trees. Come and see the pretty girls and see if you want to marry one of them. Come and get the golden cup and put basi in it, and make them drink.” The little bird said, “I prefer to stay in the trees and make the signs when anyone goes to fight.” When Aponitolau could not make him become a boy and come down he felt very sorry.
