Riley became more and more concerned for Lucas as the seconds pass, each second felt like an hour until Joseph made his decision. "Ok Friar, you got a deal!" Joseph accepted Lucas' terms and shook his rival's hand.
Both young men backed up into their corners, Lucas took one last look at his friends that were on the ring apron and took a look at Zay and Farkle who were still ringside hurting and recovering from their suffering at the hands of Tanner. Missy climbed up on the ring apron in Joseph's corner with the photo of Riley as agreed by both Joseph and Lucas. "Joseph you better beat his ass! I want Riley out of his life for good!" Missy barked at Joseph giving him final instructions.
"Don't worry I kicked his ass last time, it'll be the same thing today." Joseph replied not giving any concern to Lucas. Missy made her way to the ring bell that was on an old wooden table just near their corner and rang the bell beginning the fight.
Lucas and Joseph emerged from their corners with fire in their eyes ready to fight for their lives. Lucas as usual was aggressive throwing a storm of kicks, punches and knees. Joseph was able to take all the blows from a determined Lucas Friar but came right back at Lucas with hard punches of his own! Lucas took punches to his stomach, ribs, and the right side of his face from Joseph all of them landing very clean packing lots of pain with it. "C'mon Lucas!" Riley shouted cheering on her boyfriend.
"Kick his ass Joseph!" Missy shouted returning the favour for Joseph.
In a bold gamble, Lucas decided to tackle Joseph hoping to put the taller and stronger Joseph on his back, it was going well, Lucas had his right shoulder in Joseph's stomach and arms wrapped around his waist but as Lucas was able to lift Joseph into the air, he wrapped his huge arms around Lucas' neck and then dropped his body weight to the floor causing Lucas' skull to crash into the mat while Joseph held on to a guillotine choke now wrapping his legs around Lucas' wasist. "OHHH SHIT!" DJ yelled now becoming concerned for his friend.
"Ouuu that looked like it hurt?" Maya gasped.
"LUCAS!" Riley yelled in fear.
"What was that?" Maya asked never seeing that move before.
"He went into a DDT then performing at Guillotine Choke." Jordan answered as his eyes were locked on to Lucas hoping he would respond.
"What the hell is a DDT?" Maya asked never hearing of the move.
"It's a pro wrestling move, the attacker wraps his arms around the back of the neck and then spikes his opponent's skull into the mats. It's a pretty dangerous move for someone who is unfamiliar with it." Jordan answered thoroughly.
"How do you know about this?" Maya again asked.
"One of our black belts: Tetsuro, his dad is a big time pro wrestler in Japan and sometimes when Tetsuro and some of the guys would hang around after class, we would do pro wrestling matches for fun but we were always careful with moves so we don't hurt each other." DJ filled in remembering what he and some of the other Golden Tigers would do after class.
"Is he ok though?" Riley asked worrying.
"I don't know Riley…" DJ answered bluntly realizing Lucas has barely moved since the DDT.
Lucas' arms were moving but not much as he was still in a deep guillotine choke that could put him to sleep.
"LUCAS YOU NEED TO GET MOVING BUDDY!" DJ yelled from the ring apron as Lucas was in danger of losing. And as if Lucas heard DJ's orders he placed his hands on top of Joseph's and popped his head out escaping the choke now being on top of Joseph and in control of the fight! Lucas was swinging with each punch with vicious intent and was able to punch Joseph 5 straight punches to Joseph's face. Lucas tried to keep putting the pain on Joseph but Joseph kicked Lucas' body off and got back to his feet unharmed.
Both young men returned to a fighting stance as the room filled with tension and anticipation of what will happen next, Joseph landed two quick jabs to Lucas' face just below his eye before resetting his attacks. Lucas responded with a leg kick to the outside of Joseph's left thigh and followed up with a left high kick to the head of Joseph but was blocked by Joseph's toned forearms. "Lucas stop being aggressive and remember what Master Dominic told you when you were protecting me!" Riley mentioned to Lucas standing on top of the bottom rope.
Lucas wasn't responding as his eyes were still on Joseph and studying what his adversary was going to do next. A quick second later, Lucas was on the ropes leaving him trapped between Joseph's corner and a neutral corner as Joseph began to throw a storm of punches at Lucas. Lucas was defending to the best of his abilities knowing he is out of room, his defense was holding fine for 10 punches until, a right uppercut landed on Lucas' jaw forcing Lucas to drop to the floor! Riley and the others gasped at what occurred, Lucas was defenseless as Joseph kept punching Lucas to finish the fight, Lucas was able to respond somehow after he looked at Riley beginning to worry about him, Lucas responded by catching Joseph's right arm, placed his right on Joseph's stomach and threw him out of the ring from his back buying him some time to recover!
"Lucas, you gotta beat him soon! I have no idea how much longer you'll last man." Jordan instructed not knowing how much damage Lucas can take. Riley couldn't watch as she hid her face in Maya's shoulder not bringing herself to watch her boyfriend get hurt.
"Lucas, do something!" Maya yelled at Lucas showing him how Riley was reacting. Lucas took a quick look at Riley and knew he had to act fast, he doesn't want to lose her and remove himself from her life. As his break was over, Joseph climbed back into the ring as if nothing was wrong.
Lucas stepped to the center of the ring with his hands held up in a fighting stance waiting for Joseph, "You little fucker!" Joseph said grunting to Lucas.
"C'mon Joseph! I thought you were tougher than that! Guess you can't do much now that Eddie and Tanner can't help you out huh?" Lucas smiled trying to get in Joseph's head.
"Fuck you Lucas!" Joseph barked as he began to swing at Lucas with an overhand right punch. Lucas side stepped to his left avoiding the punch and using his quickness he got behind Joseph wrapped his hands around his waist, lifted him up in the air and threw him backwards performing a German Suplex!
"OHHHH!" Everyone in Lucas' corner roared in excitement seeing Lucas perform a Pro Wrestling move of his own. Joseph got back up and Lucas stayed near his corner in front of Riley making sure Joseph didn't get through him. Joseph again went in for the attack but was successful in landing a left and right uppercut to Lucas' body! Lucas grunted in sheer pain holding his ribs walking back gingerly! "LUCAS!" Riley called out seeing Lucas in pain.
"I win again Lucas!" Joseph announced going in for the finishing blow with a straight right coming for Lucas' face, Lucas leaned his forehead into the punch making contact with the powerful right causing a loud snap to be heard!
"AHHH FUCK!" Joseph screamed in agonizing pain. But damage was done to Lucas as well as Lucas spat out some blood from the uppercuts he took from Joseph.
"Well Joseph I guess we're both hurt…You may have broken one rib or two…But I broke your wrist in your strong arm." Lucas analyzed the damage still holding his ribs.
"Lucas end it now while you have the chance!" DJ ordered his friend seeing the window of opportunity in front of Lucas. Lucas nodded his head in agreement and understanding as he walked patiently. Lucas could see Joseph's feet were planted to the canvas, Lucas came in with three fast leg kicks off his right leg with his instep pounding the tender thigh of Joseph. Again Joseph was wincing in pain with each thunderous kick landing gingerly walking and slowing down. Joseph kept defying Lucas throwing punches and threw a leg kick of his own! Lucas was able to shake them off and defend them masterfully, Lucas now saw his moment, he turned his body lifting his knee and spun his body….He extended his leg curling his foot back and landed a perfectly executed Reverse Hook Kick! Lucas completed the turn and returned to his normal fighting stance as Joseph fell crashing to the canvas face first as the rest of his huge frame went limp. Jordan, DJ, and Riley were the first to greet him in victory! Jordan carried Lucas on his shoulder and ran around the ring with him before gently putting him down knowing the status of his ribs.
"YOU DID IT LUCAS!" Riley screamed congratulating her boyfriend with a long passionate kiss before pulling away giggling.
"I told you Riley! I would never lose if I have you by my side!" Lucas cheered despite having home of his blood on his teeth as he held Riley by her bare waist having not changed since she fought and defeated Missy.
"Hey lovebirds we still got some business to take care of." Maya grabbed Lucas and Riley's attention knowing Joseph had to make good on his word.
Missy, Tanner, and Eddie stood with a defeated Joseph putting his head down in shame.
"Well Joseph you know the terms of the fight." Lucas said placing his right arm around Riley's shoulder.
"…Do it Missy." Joseph shamefully said as Missy stood in front of Riley with the photo in question. And good on her word, Missy ripped the photo in half leaving the photo in the center of the ring.
"Thank you Missy." Riley said with a small smile on her face knowing the fake photo was destroyed and Missy was actually good on her word while Missy was still fuming at Joseph's defeat before…She willingly slapped the satisfied Riley!
"You little bitch!" Maya angrily charged at Missy taking her down and throwing a few punches of her own until Farkle pulled Maya off of Missy while Missy escaped without taking more damage.
"Now Joseph, leave this place now and never talk to me, my friends and especially my girlfriend EVER again." Lucas demanded Joseph to leave the old boxing gym.
Joseph, Eddie and, Tanner left the gym without any drama following them other than they lost to Lucas and his friends finally leaving the gang to celebrate inside. A mixture of hugs and screaming was exchanged, the drama was over…Lucas' dark past was done with once and for all and now his future with Riley was secured. As the seven friends left the old gym, it was agreed that Lucas would be taken to the hospital to get his ribs checked since he was possibly bleeding internally.
Once the seven arrived at St. Vincent's Hospital, Lucas was eventually patched up and was notified that he only had two fractured ribs meaning no karate or basketball for a little while but for the young Texan, it meant more time with Riley as the young couple took some time together to be at Topanga's alone a few weeks later.
"So what did you want to talk about tonight Riley?" Lucas asked after he got his smoothie from Katy Hart who was working at the time.
"Lucas, I wanted to ask you what do you think of our future together?" Riley asked biting her lower lip.
"Well… that's a good question, I have no idea what will happen in our future but I do know something that's for certain." Lucas started to anwer.
"What is it?" Riley asked.
"All I know is that I'll be by your side and you'll be my side. I'll also be keeping my promise to protect you and vowing to be your knight in shining armor having no harm come near you. I love you Riley, I would never let anyone harm you and I promise to treat you like the future queen you will be." Lucas proclaimed sincerely.
"Aww Lucas! Thank you for making sure nobody hurt me and for teaching me some stuff with the Golden Tigers, I love you Lucas." Riley began to blush as she pecked Lucas on the cheek.
The two young lovers enjoyed their evening together and although Riley was 13 and Lucas was 14 they were behaving like a married couple that have been together for a very long time. Nearly seven months have passed since Lucas was jumped in the subway and Riley was forced to watch him get hurt but the couple have grown together to love each other, to stand by each other, and to support each other. It was a young love, but they are quite mature for their age and that will help them go the distance.
