When Jura finally ended her song and the music faded away, there was a thunderous applause from both sides. She gave them a graceful bow, then gestured to Slade. “Happy birthday, Slade! This is just ONE of the gifts that I want to give to you!”
The former Saotome swallowed a bit at the hidden message, then smiled while shaking his head. He then got up and walked toward the stage. Taking up another microphone, he addressed her and the crowds.
“Well, that was quite the present, Jura and I really do appreciate it. Thank you. Now, I think that there are some things that needs to be known about the menas well. And if there’s one thing they’ll all agree on is that they are strong in their hearts and minds, and if you don’t agree, then you’d better… BEAT IT!”
Slade then took out a small computer data file and inserted it into the speaker system. As with Jura, the speakers began playing out hard, rock and roll music. Slade also pulled out an techno-version of the electric guitar and started playing while attaching the microphone to it.
Slade: [They told you don’t you ever come around here! Don’t wanna see your face, you’d better disappear! The fire’s in their eyes, and their words are really clear. So beat it! Just beat it!]
The women and men started to move in time to the new music. Several men decided to join Slade on the stage to be his chorus line. Though they didn’t know the words, the Tekkaman smiled as he demonstrated some moves for them to follow. They copied his moves with surprising ease and precision.
Slade: [You better run, you better do what you can! Don’t wanna see no blood, don’t be a macho man! You wanna be tough, better do what you can, so beat it! But you wanna be bad! Just beat it!]
Chorus Line: [Beat it!]
Slade: [Beat it!]
Chorus Line: [Beat it!]
Slade: [No one wants to be defeated! Showin’ how funky, and strong is your fight! It doesn’t matter, who’s wrong or right! Just Beat it!]
Chorus Line: [Beat it!]
Slade: [Just beat it!]
Chorus Line: [Beat it!]
Slade: [Just beat it!]
Chorus Line: [Beat it!]
Slade: [Just beat it! OOH! They’re out to get you, better leave while you can! Don’t wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man! You wanna stay alive, better do what you can! So beat it. Just beat it!]
Chorus Line: [YEAH!]
Slade: [You have to show them that you’re really not scared! You’re playin’ with your life, this ain’t no truth or dare! They’ll kick you, then they beat you, then they’ll tell you it’s fair, so beat it. But you wanna be bad… just beat it…]
Chorus Line: [Beat it!]
Slade: [Beat it!]

Slade: [No one wants to be defeated! Showin’ how funky, and strong is your fight! It doesn’t matter, who’s wrong or right! Just Beat it!]

Slade: [Beat it! No one wants to be defeated! Showin’ how funky, and strong is your fight! It doesn’t matter, who’s wrong or right! Just Beat it… beat it… beat it…. Just beat it… beat it… beat it….]
Slade then went into a wicked guitar solo and showed off the ancient dance step formally known as the Moon Walk. The music swelled in intensity and so did the dancers as the song reached its apex. Then the Tekkaman sang out the remaining lines with the chorus.
Slade: [Beat it!]
Chorus Line: [Beat it!]
Slade: [Beat it!]
Chorus Line: [Beat it!]
Slade and the Chorus Line : [Beat it! No one wants to be defeated! Showin’ how funky, and strong is your fight! It doesn’t matter, who’s wrong or right! Just Beat it… beat it… beat it…. Just beat it… beat it… beat it….]
Like Jura’s song, the music slowly faded away as the Tekkaman polished off the remaining chords. There was another thunderous applause as the men and women demanded for more…
