"But this little orphan passed out after throwing up." Ultra Magnus said and two began to argue.

"This sparkling has severe internal damage. We need to save his life." Ratchet said. Ratchet saw Ultra Magnus. "Wait outside." he told him.

Ultra Magnus was sitting down outside. The surgery had been going on for awhile. Then Ratchet came out. "How is he?" Ultra Magnus asked.

"We manage to fix all the internal damaged but he still has a really bad fever, which concerns me. He will have to stay in the hospital for a while." Ratchet said. "Can you tell me about this kid?" he asked him. Ultra Magnus told him how he found the kid and to when he took him to the hospital.

"Poor kid." Ratchet said. "He is only three and half years old." Ratchet said.

'Can I see him?' Ultra Magnus asked.

"I'm afraid not. He's sleeping right now. You can see him tomorrow." Ratchet said.

"Hello Ironfist." Ultra Magnus said.

"His fever went down and he seems to be doing better. He should be out of the hospital in a couple of weeks." Ratchet said.
