“All right!” said Giông and GiỡHreng, “We will go in. If we stain your community house by blood, you don’t hate us or if we made your community house shake or ruin it, you don’t say that we want to do it. Or if you also want to fight with us, let us know immediately”.
“I am gentle person”, said AtauYangBul, “Who have never gotten argument with anyone. I have asked BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong but he don’t listen he still lie on floor under blanket shaking. Come on and fight with him on floor. I will go and sleep at garret”.
While BiaBơngBơh, BiaSơngLong, BiaSơdrăngMatAnar found shade under trees resting, Giông, GiỡTuKrong, DamPhan, GiỡHreng, MaKlen, MaJong started stepping up community house.
“MaKlen, MaJong shut the doors up.” said GiỡTuKrong “Today we will fight with BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong in this community house”.

 MaKlen and MaJong closed all the doors and windows then they with Giông, GiỡTuKrong, DamPhan, GiỡHreng started fighting to BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong. They punched, kicked, burked and wrestled. Sometime, BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong was above the others but sometime, he was also under them. They fought for whole daytime without resting. They made the community house of AtauYangBul shake (if seeing from outside) and it had too much noise there. Because of that AtauYangBul couldn’t sleep and started to turn angry. He left his bed jumping out the garret and started to fight to Giông, GiỡTuKrong, DamPhan, GiỡHreng, MaKlen, MaJong.
 AtauYangBul was also great in magic. Giông, GiỡTuKrong and others couldn’t help yourselves see AtauYangBul, AtauYangBul’s real body. They only see his shadow and fought to it. Of course, they couldn’t see it in all the moments the shadow appeared for some moments and then disappeared. The next time it appeared, it was at other place. Giông, GiỡTuKrong, DamPhan, GiỡHreng, MaKlen, MaJong were forced to fight to the shadow of AtauYangBul which could suddenly appeared at somewwhere they didn’t know and harmed them. They kept watching, held their shields, knives and forced themslves to be ready to fight to the shadow of AtauYangBul whenever it appeared. But, no one, none of them could touched on AtauYangBul’s real body even his shadow they also couldn’t touched it. Too angry and tired, Giông shouted:
“Fuck you! AtauYangBul”, he said, “ You told you would not fight. But, now, what are you doing?”
“There was so cramped and hot. Ruin it and go outside we will fight in sky, above clouds that’s the thing men should do”, he added, “DamPhan jump up and destroy the roof”.
DamPhan jumped up but he was just on halfway to the roof, he fell down. AtauYangBul didn’t let him to do that thing.
“GiỡHreng your turn. Jump up and try to ruin the roof”, said GiỡTuKrong.
GiỡHreng jumped up and made the roof have a small hole that one could get through before he was kicked down. Seeing both DamPhan and GiỡHreng failed, GiỡTuKrong turned impatient, he said:
“Let it there. I will do”.
GiỡTuKrong jumped up and he also broke a hole big enough for him get through and was kicked down. Giông felt angry as no one could destroy the roof. He scolded:
“You all should wear dresses.”, he said, “See me. I will ruin this community house”.
Then, Giông jump up. As soon as one half of the roof fell down toward the east and the other fell down the west. Other parts of the community were also destroyed. Now, there were only wooden pillars, the remaining things of community house. Giông, GiỡTuKrong, DamPhan, GiỡHreng, MaKlen, MaJong took their shields and knives, flew up sky. There were thunder noise after them. BiaBơngBơh, BiaSơngLong, BiaSơdrăngMatAnar put on winged clothes and “Buzzz! Buzzz! Buzzz!” they followed their men.
Giông and GiỡTuKrong challenged BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong and AtauYangBul while they were in sky.
“Come on! BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong, AtauYangBul. Come here and fight to us”, they said.
“You all fight to BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong, my brother. I have to repair my community house”, said AtauYangBul.
BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong took his shield and knife. He flew up, and moved few rounds before he fought to Giông and others. After repairing the community house, AtauYangBul flew up and joined them. The shield of AtauYangBul spit out noises it’s like thunders, very terrible. Giông left the others to fight to AtauYangBul.
“You all GiỡTuKrong, DamPhan, GiỡHreng, MaKlen, MaJong, stayed here and fight to BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong. I will fight to AtauYangBul”, said Giông.
Giông and AtauYangBul started their fighting.
They chased after the others. They kicked, punched, wrestled , burked and cut the others by their knives. Some time, Giông, GiỡTuKrong and their fellows were above BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong and AtauYangBul but sometime, they was under them. Many days passed they fought without resting and there, where they fought, had rumbling noises. Giông and AtauYangBul fought in the east where the sun appeared while GiỡTuKrong and others fought to BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong fought in the west where the sun disappeared.
Not seeing AtauYangBul’s real body, Giông only fought to AtauYangBul’s shadow. When Giông swung his knife to the left, the shadow had been on his right. When Giông swung his knife to the right, the shadow had been on his left. When he moved his knife ahead, the shadow had moved after him… The shadow appeared and disappeared  that Giông couldn’t touched on it.Though he was great but Giông couldn’t find out the way to win. He felt bored he want to leave visiting to PơlungHlaAnhao and PơlaoHlaAnhem. He heard people say that those place had two girls who were beautiful and talent. They were DrangMai and BiaVai. Then, Giông started read mantra.
“God”, he muttered, “if I am talent and have power as like son of God, I can ordered my shield and knife to fight to AtauYangBul while I will go visiting to PơlungHlaAnhao and PơlaoHlaAnhem to meet DrangMai and BiaVai, talent and beautiful girls”.
As soon as, his shield and knife automatically moved and fought to AtauYangBul. Though, AtauYangBul didn’t know he was fighting with atomatic shield and knife so he still continued.

Giông left. He picked two big mangoes and brought them to DrangMai and BiaVai. He went and arrived to DrangMai’s village at midnight. There’s the first time Giông came to there so he didn’t know anyone. He wanted to go in it but he scared he scared that people would think that he came to start a fight. So, he stood at there and thought.
