"What do you think you're doing?" shouted the tournament's security chief. "Arrest him!"
Several men and security guards climbed onto the stage, but Ben started playing his guitar again, unleashing bolts of electricity that sent the guards flying.
Strumming the guitar, he pointed at the crowd and yelled, "I'll be back!"
He dropped the guitar, grabbed Ryuji and Shen Huiliang, and they bolted backstage. When the guards tried to find them, they were gone.
As if the earth had swallowed them whole.
The event descended into chaos after that. The police took on the task of hunting them down, but it was a lost cause.
Band after band took the stage following Ben, but many in the audience couldn't get the melody of "Thunderstruck" out of their heads.
The lucky ones who'd started recording at the beginning of the show replayed the footage over and over, soaking in the wild, addictive, energetic tune.
