After Tupouniua's assassination, the people of Vava'u return home and so are sick of Finau 'Ulukālala's shit so they build the biggest fort ever in Tongan history in Feletoa called Fatungakoa. Toe'umu, Vava'u's new leader and also 'Ulukālala's aunt, garrisons the entire citizenry of the island in and around the perimeters of the fort.
