Author's note: How's it going everybody? I'm back with Chapter 4 and left you guys worrying for Lucas and Riley. Lucas is outnumbered and is the only one who can fight. Time to get back with the story!
Disclaimer: Ya take a guess what I'm about to say here! Say it with me now I don't own Girl Meets World! If you said it along with me you're awesome people!
Riley was worried, Lucas was barely moving after taking a hard kick to the face from Joseph. Joseph was taunting Lucas ordering him to get up when he knows Lucas can't, while Tanner was successful in reviving Eddie and waking him up after being stunned and knocked out by Lucas earlier.
DJ: Riley, you still there?
Riley: Yes (whispering)
DJ: Listen I got some of the guys, we're almost there!
Riley: Please hurry Lucas is badly hurt! He needs to go to the hospital!
DJ: Shit! Ok we'll hurry it up. Be safe!
DJ hung up the phone to focus on running to Bleeker Street Station to aid Lucas.
DJ's POV
Great, of all the nights anyone on the team would run into trouble it would be Lucas, what's worse is that he basically took Riley out on a date showing her off to the rest of the family! I hope we're not too late to help him c'mon man hang on! Remember what you said to Riley before you left the dojo!
The rain began to pour heavily on the young men racing towards Lucas and Riley to help against Joseph and the others. DJ had to sneak out of the house while calling some of the other Golden Tigers and told them the situation, they had a very strong bond with Lucas as friends.
Riley's POV
Please God, I know I don't ask for much in life but I ask right now, Lucas is ok! He's barely moved since he got kicked! I really know where I wanna be in his life, I wanna be by his side through everything we go through together, I'm scared of what Joseph, Tanner, and Eddie are doing to him and what they could do to me now that I'm a target. Please get DJ and the other Golden Tigers here soon!

"C'mon Lucas get up! Don't let Riley down now! Get up boy!" Joseph yelled taunting him and embarrassing him in front of Riley. Joseph began dragging Lucas' almost lifeless body and bloodied face towards a frightful Riley, they approached Riley setting down Lucas face first, Joseph then placed his right knee on Lucas' back with all 215lbs of his body weight and was showing Riley a defeated Lucas Friar.
"See Riley, THIS is the result of any idiot who decides to mess with me! Look at your boyfriend now! Look at him!" Joseph said in a berserker like rage commanding Riley to look at Lucas' face, but Riley refused as her face went red out of fear as the tears kept rolling down and her fear was so obvious to the three attackers.
Eddie went over to Riley, took Riley by her elbow and dragged her to see Lucas.
"Ow! Stop! You're hurting me!" Riley winced in pain
"Oh c'mon now baby! It ain't that bad you just need to hang around winners from now on." Eddie said laughing at her pain.
Riley was in a terrible situation now three on one, Lucas couldn't do a thing to help her, she doesn't know how far The Golden Tigers are, she's alone.
Riley's POV
I never in my life felt that sort of pain, what allowed Joseph, Eddie, and Tanner to become the way they are, they can't just treat a lady like me like an object! C'mon Riley what would Lucas do! I know I can't fight them I don't stand a chance! If Lucas couldn't beat them, then I can't last long. Please DJ tell me you're close!
Third Person View
Riley felt a surge of energy flow through her, after Eddie threw her violently to the ground, her eyes were glaring at Eddie, the suddenly brave Riley stood up to look at Eddie in the eye, and slapped him hard across the face with her right hand!
"OHHH!" Joseph and Tanner yelled together in shock.
"Bitch you'll regret that!" Eddie snarled displeased at Riley's actions by shoving her to the ground and putting her on her butt.
"Hey Riley, don't be a fool say sorry now, or I'll make you say sorry!" Eddie said with a mad look on his face pulling his shoulder back ready to strike Riley.
"DON'T MOVE!" An unknown voice called out
Joseph got off Lucas to observe and seek out who called out, when suddenly an unknown hooded figure in a white sweater and blue jeans tackled Eddie protecting Riley! The unknown figure blasted Eddie with punches and elbows while three more hooded figures in a white sweater came stand in front of Riley like a barrier. They took off their hoods and revealed DJ and three members of the Golden Tigers!
Riley's POV
Thank you God! Wait, That's the Golden Tigers logo on the back! DJ came and with help! Now Lucas can get help too!
DJ's POV
Good to see we got here just before things got ugly for Riley, but wow, Lucas doesn't look good that's a good chunk of blood on his face and jeez there's a broken nose no doubt about that! The nose is out of alignment that's for sure.

"Who the hell are you?" Joseph asked ordering the Golden Tigers to reveal themselves.
"We are the Golden Tigers, we train with Lucas…Our friend…Our brother!" DJ said standing up over a knocked out Eddie.
"So there's more of you huh?" Joseph laughed feeling confident to overtake the trained martial artists.
"Why don't we make it even now. See your friend here is knocked out, and you got our friend who's hurt badly, we want him back!"
"Like hell that's happening…Let's get em Tanner!" Joseph yelled as he and Tanner charged at the Golden Tigers. DJ and another member of the Golden Tigers met the challenge while the other two Tigers stayed back to protect Riley and keep his eye on a knocked out Eddie.
DJ was squared off against Joseph and the unknown Tiger against Tanner. The unknown Tiger was a thin black male with dark eyes, curly black hair. For a teenager he was pretty short standing 5'5 and maybe about 135lbs. But he was incredibly fast! Everytime Tanner would try to at least throw a punch, the unknown Tiger was able to dodge the attack and counter with a few strikes of his own consisting of punches to the face and kicks to the thighs. Tanner was groggy from all the energy he used to fight both Lucas and now this unknown Tiger as he lunged in for a straight punch, the unknown tiger blocked the punch grabbed the back of Tanner's head and drove a knee to the face knocking out Tanner!
"DJ, take care of this punk and let's get Lucas and Riley out of here!" The unknown Tiger ordered as he came behind a vulnerable Lucas and dragged him towards the other Golden Tigers and Riley.
"Thank you so much guys!" Riley said with relief "What are your names?"
"The fast dude here is Darryl Chambers. I'm Jordan Gallagher, and the big man here shielding us, Tetsuro Kobayashi." Jordan announced introducing himself and the other Golden Tigers.
"How's Lucas guys?" Riley asked.
"Hang on Riley, he'll be fine we just need to wake him up." Darryl said taking out a water bottle then pouring some water on his face causing Lucas to wake up!
Riley became overjoyed that besides the blood and broken nose, Lucas is fine.
"Well there you go!" Darryl said drinking the rest of the water.
Lucas took a few seconds to finally know where he was being surrounded by some of the Golden Tigers and his princess, he was relieved to see Riley was ok and still optimistic about everything despite what she witnessed. Meanwhile with DJ, DJ and Joseph were engaged in a war an exchange of punches and kicks landing on both young men. DJ was getting tired after sparring Lucas in an intense sparring match earlier at practice and running to the station to relieve him but could still see the holes in Joseph's fighting game
DJ's POV
Damn, he's much stronger than I thought! I'm starting to see why Lucas was having a tough time with him he's as strong as an ox! But wow is he wreck less. So far he still doesn't see that he's leaving his ribs wide open. Time to end this here and now!
Third Person View
DJ knowing how wreck less Joseph is knows Joseph will throw a punch but leave his ribs wide open putting all his energy into the punch. In a decisive gamble, DJ left his face wide open for Joseph to throw a punch, he takes the bait! DJ gently taps the powerful straight right with his left hand, sneaks past Joseph's guard and throws an elbow to the nose breaking it as DJ hears a crack!
"Owww! Ok ok ok! I give up I'll back off! You win!" Joseph screamed in agonizing pain accepting defeat.
"So you'll leave them alone now?" DJ asked as he left his hands near his face, fists clinched ready to fight in case Joseph tries to trick him.
"Yes! yes! yes! I'll leave them along just get out of here!" Joseph said backing off and taking Tanner and Eddie with him as they retreat
DJ backed up and made his way to the others and saw that Lucas was finally awake but had a pretty bad broken nose. "So Lucas, guess we're going to the hospital?" DJ asked Lucas helping him get up.
"Yeah, I guess but can I just drop off Riley first? What's the time?" Lucas asked.
"It's currently 9:25pm but I would not bring Riley home, since she was here for the whole thing, you may wanna talk to doctors and maybe the Police while we're there." Jordan suggested as he checked the time on his phone.
"Lucas it's ok, your heath is the main priority right now! My dad will understand why I'm home late, I just need to call him." Riley commented.
"Then it's settled, you think you can walk to the hospital." Jordan asked checking on Lucas' health.
"I should be able to, Riley you still have my phone and bag?" Lucas asked turning to Riley. Riley nodded holding up his belongings and returned them to Lucas as he slung his gym bag over his right shoulder and placed his phone in the pocked of his jeans.
"Ok then, let's get to St. Vincent's it's the closest hospital here. The next train will take us there."
DJ waited as they sat on the bench to wait for the next train to arrive. The group waited for another 2-3 minutes until the train came along, Riley told her parents, Maya, and Farkle about what had happen and kept them all updated on Lucas' well-being. It was agreed that her parents would pick up Maya and Farkle and meet them at St. Vincent's hospital. Riley, Lucas, DJ, Tetsuro, and Jordan all made their way to the train. Riley took out some tissues and was able to clean off some of the blood on Lucas' face by damping some of the tissues with the remainder of the water Lucas had from his water bottle. Tetsuro and Jordan stood watch in case Joseph and his friends returned. Tetsuro is the tallest in the group he's 16 years old but is 6'7 and 245lbs Riley felt intimidated standing next to him but knew could see that he was a gentle giant causing her to relax. Jordan is 5'10 155lbs and is 14 years old the same age as Lucas. Him and Lucas got along very well because Jordan like Lucas isn't originally from New York. He's originally from Montreal, Quebec in Canada but his parents had to move because his dad is an assistant coach for the New York Rangers. Darryl and DJ stayed with Lucas and Riley to until they made it to their stop.
Once the six young teens made their way inside the hospital, Riley's parents, Farkle, and Maya were all waiting for them. Lucas was checked in and waited for a doctor. It was 9:47pm when Lucas was checked in. Cory already called Lucas' parents and let them know what happened while DJ called Master Dominic to update him on Lucas' status. Both Master Dominic and Lucas' parents drove to the hospital shortly after.
