"Mr. and Mrs. Son, there is only one way that she can make it." The doctor says as he looks back at the couple. Chichi stares at him, in the brink of tears, and Goku glances around him to look at the condition of his daughter with a sorrowful expression. Rainbow is lying on their bed in the bedroom, unconscious, and she's in very bad shape. Bandages wrap around most of her mid-section and her head, and scratches can be seen that are not covered. Today is clearly not a good day, especially after the incident that Goku clearly remembers.

When Chichi heard Rainbow Dash speak for the first time about two years ago, she was thrilled. The couple got the filly many toys and books for her, and they started to teach her basic words as much as possible for the past two years. After a while of learning, Rainbow Dash can talk clearly and is able to read. She can also write and draw with her mouth. It seemed weird to them, but it works. Not too long ago, the couple got into an argument about what Rainbow will do when she grows up. Goku wanted her to train with him in martial arts, knowing that she would want to, but Chichi wanted her to attend school and live a normal life. Since that seemed to be impossible, Chichi gave in to Goku's idea, but Goku did promise that she will be homeschooled.

Goku was meditating in the woods earlier this afternoon. He finds it peaceful to do so. The woods used to be his home, so it was his favorite spot to go to. Rainbow was home alone, since Chichi was out going shopping, so Goku decided to end his meditation earlier so she wouldn't be alone for too long. After a few minutes of flying over the valley, Goku descended to the ground and was walking towards his house, which could be seen not too far up ahead. He walked casually towards the front door, but then he heard rattling coming from the back of the house.

Goku shrugged it off at first, since it was probably Rainbow. The couple got a wired fence for the backyard in order for Rainbow to roam outside. Because the filly pleaded for some fresh air, the couple decided to let her go in the backyard by herself. She couldn't fly yet, so there was no worry of her escaping, but she did constantly ram the fence from time to time.

However, Goku started to get uneasy. The noise was a lot louder than usual, and Goku was sure she didn't get that much stronger since yesterday. The noise also sounded continuous, so it wasn't something ramming into the fence. It sounded like something was scrapping on the fence with its…claws.

Rainbow was looking at her threat with fear. In front of her, she could see a mountain lion, who was trying to break through the wired fence using its paws. She looked over to the back door. She galloped towards it, but then she heard an unusual snapping sound, and she looked over. Her pupils shrank.

Before he could do anything, Goku heard a sound that he wished he never did. There was a snapping sound, a loud pitched scream, and finally… a roar. Goku immediately took action and high-tailed it towards the source of the sound. When he heard something crash to the side of the house, he started to fly there in record pace. When he turned the corner to see what was going on, he stopped and gasped. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Rainbow was lying next to the house with puncture wounds on her mid-section right next to the house. Her head was banged up, too, probably because she hit the side of the house head first. A small pool of blood could be seen around the filly. A mountain lion was standing over her, sniffing its prey, and a hole can be clearly seen through the wired fence behind them. After sniffing her, the beast opened its mouth. He was going to eat her.

"HEY!" Goku yelled at the top of his lungs. Before the mountain lion could turn to the noise, he felt a kick to the side of the face before flying through the fence and onto the dirt patched ground. The animal growled as he gets back up, but when he turned to face his attacker, he stopped growling and backs up in fear. He could see, in front of him, a pissed off Goku with the most threatening stare he ever saw. "Go!"

The beast ran as fast as he could, while whimpering, and disappeared over a hill. Goku's expression changed to concern when he turned to Rainbow Dash. She wasn't responding, so Goku ran to her and checked her pulse. She was still alive.

Goku took her inside the house and onto the bed. He found medical bands in an emergency kit and wrapped them around her as carefully as possible. He immediately called Chichi for some help. Coincidentally, she was talking to a male doctor at the grocery store when she got the call. He agreed to help and they rushed to the son family's house, using the doctor's car. When they got there, the doctor couldn't believe that he was seeing a pegasus. However, he agreed not to tell anyone about her and he went on with the routine.

Now they were in this situation. The doctor took a few tests with equipment he took out from capsules, and now he's telling them there's only one way she could survive. Goku looks back at the doctor and asks, "What is it doc?"

"It seems that she can make a full recovery from those small puncture wounds, and she seems to just have a small concussion, but she lost too much blood from her wounds. There won't be enough to travel through her circulatory system and she'll die from blood loss."

Goku remembers the pool of blood he saw under her body and shudders at the memory. "What's the solution?" Chichi asks.

"Well, the only way that she can survive at this rate is if someone is willing to donate a huge amount of blood."

Goku looks at the filly again. He feels disappointed for not being there for her when she needed it. It was his fault that she was left there alone, and he would never get over it if she died. He made his decision. He faces the doctor and says, "I'll do it."

The doctor uses a blood scanner to compare Goku's blood and Rainbow's blood. The results say that both of them have a blood type of A positive, so the procedure is possible. Two liters of blood is what the doctor recommends for the filly. Chichi protests this because it seems unreal, but Goku is willing, and he agrees to do it.

Before Goku lays down next to Rainbow Dash, Chichi points a finger at him and demands, "Don't you dare die on me!"

After hearing this, Goku moves her arm and gives a quick kiss on her lips and smiles. "Don't worry, I won't." Goku replies. Chichi then leaves the room so she wouldn't have to watch. Goku lies down next to the filly and looks over to the doctor. The man reaches into his pocket to find another capsule. He pushes the button on the top of the capsule and tosses it next to the bed on Rainbow's side. When it explodes and the after smoke clears, another contraption takes its place.

It's a rectangular machine with two tubes coming out both ends. One tube consists of a pouch and a needle at the end of the tube. The pouch is held up by a tripod pole with rotating wheels. The other end only has the needle at the end of it. The machine only has a switch that says "on" or "off".

Goku looks at it and then turns to the doctor and asks, "What's that?"

"It's a blood transporter." (Don't judge me) "It's able to transport blood from one source to another. The machine is used to vacuum blood, purify as it runs through the inside, and export the blood to this pouch. This pouch slows the blood rate so it can enter the receiver at a safe, steady pace."

Goku stares at him in confusion and says, "o-ok." After he says this, the doctor takes the needle with the pouch attached to it and implants it into a vein of Rainbow Dash's arm. After he finishes that, he takes the other needle and turns to Goku saying, "Now this won't hurt a bit."

Goku stares at the needle in horror. He hates needles. Before he screams out in fear, however, he sees Rainbow at the corner of his eye and turns to look at her. As he stares at the unconscious pony, he realizes he has to do this for her. Without him knowing, the doctor inserts the needle into the father's arm. Goku feels a sting on his left arm and looks at it to find the needle already injected into his arm. Goku becomes surprised. "That wasn't that bad."

The doctor smiles at this and then goes over to the switch. Before he flicks it, he turns to Goku and asks, "Are you ready?"

Goku tilts his head to him a gives a serious expression. "Yes," he replies, and the doctor flicks the switch. When he does, the machine starts to make a buzzing noise. Suddenly, Goku sees blood escape from his body through the tube. The blood then enters the machine, until it bursts through the other tube and enters the pouch. As the blood reaches the bottom of the pouch, the blood then enters the exit tube and slowly goes downward until it enters Rainbow's arm.

After a few minutes of this process, Goku's eyesight starts to fade. His eyelids start to shut until his eyes are closed and he drifts off to sleep.

When Goku wakes up, he looks over to find the needle taken out and a band-aid covering the exposed area. He then finds out that the machine is no longer there and Rainbow dash is still beside him. Her body is facing towards him, and she seems to be giving out soft snores. She's still alive. Goku smiles before he tries to get up.

"Stay down Mr. Son," a sudden voice directs before a force holds Goku in place, and he looks over to find that it's the doctor, "You've lost a lot of blood. It's safer for you to stay in bed." Goku decides to lay back down in response. "I'll go tell your wife that you're awake." The doctor then walks over to the door and opens it. Before he walks out, he turns his head and confesses, "The blood transplant was a success. She will have a full recovery, but don't be surprised if she doesn't wake up immediately. I'm actually surprised you're still alive."

Goku smiles at him and replies, "Ya, I know." The doctor smiles back before exiting and closing the door behind him.

A moan can be heard from the other side of the bed. Goku's eyes widen before he looks over to his daughter. He finds that her eyes start to open as she awakened by the door. When she opens her eyes, the first thing she sees is her dad staring right back at her. When she sees him, her pupils grow before she starts to get teary eyed. "Daddy!" she yells before she goes over, hugs him, and starts to cry on his shoulder. Her father responds by hugging back. "That m-monster scared me. I tried to fight back, but I-I couldn't. I-I thought that I would never see you again." Rainbow whimpers as tears fall onto Goku's shirt.

"It's ok Rainbow Dash. Everything is fine now. Daddy's here for you." Goku replies as he tries to comfort her. The door swings open to find Chichi, who looks at the scene in disbelief. She then smiles in relief as she realizes that Rainbow's alright.

Goku looks down at the pony as she hugs him. He smiles to himself and thinks, "Thank goodness you're alright."
