chapter 3

In Optimus' arms was crying Ultra Magnus. The other Autobots were surprised. Ultra Magnus had not stopped crying the whole time. "Optimus why hasn't he stopped crying?" Sideburn asked.

"I don't know," Optimus said.

"I'll run diagnostic on him." TAI said. TAI check him over. Then she fitted a beam over him and he calmed down. "He's okay the weapon that did this to him cause a lot of pain but the but the beam soothed the pain away he's okay." TAI said. Optimus picked him up. Ultra Magnus looked at him. He's holding me I'm a sparkling it's my big brother. Ultra Magnus thought. "Oppy," He said. "Aw he gave you a nick name." Sideburn said. "It seems he has all his memories, but he has the mind of sparkling but he remembers us and the way he acts around us in way he sees us." TAI said. "So he is still Ultra Magnus?" Prowl asked. "In a sparkling sort of way yes." TAI said. TAI is nice she fixed my boo-boo. Ultra Magnus thought.

Ultra Magnus was looking at everyone. Then his little tank growled. I'm hungry! Ultra magnus thought he began to squirm around and made a sound that indicated he was going to cry. I want my bottle! Ultra magnus began to cry. "Oh there, there Ultra magnus." Optimus said rocking him. "My scans show that he's hungry," TAI said. "I'll fix up a bottle." Elita said. Optimus was trying calmed down Ultra magnus.

Elita came back with the bottle. Optimus stuck it in Ultra Magnus' mouth. Ultra Magnus began to drink the contents. His tiny white hands gripped the sides. The others watched him. Ultra Magnus wasn't paying attention to them he was just drinking up the energon. He began to drink a little bit faster. "Slow down no one's going to take it from you." Optimus said. Ultra Magnus drank the last few mouthfuls and let go.

"Boy what an appetite." X-brawn said.

Ultra Magnus made face and got a bit fussy. I need to burp, I having a little trouble someone give me a hand? Ultra Magnus thought. "Look he's a making a face," Sideburn said. Optimus put Ultra Magnus up to his shoulder and began to pat his back. "Sideburn he was making that face because he needs to be burped" Prowl said. "Yes you had to be burped at that age." X-brawn said. Ultra Magnus felt air being forced up his throat. Optimus kept patting. *BURP!* Ultra Magnus sighed.

That's better. Ultra Magnus thought and snuggled into Optimus. "AW!" Everyone said.

Ultra Magnus began to kiss Optimus. "Look he's kissing him," Koji said.

"That is so sweet," Sideburn said.

Optimus got out a crib they had in storage he had it set up in his and Elita's room he didn't want Ultra Magnus to sleep alone. Optimus placed Ultra Magnus in the crib. Ultra Magnus yawned and snuggled in and got comfy. "Hope you like it." Optimus said. First getting my boo-boo fixed and the energon I would be in sparkling paradise if I had some toys. Ultra Magnus said. "Maybe I can get the build team to make you some toys how does that sound?" Optimus asked. "TOYS!" Ultra Magnus said in whiny a voice. Optimus chuckled. "Good night Ultra Magnus," Optimus said. "Night night Oppy I love you." Ultra Magnus said. "I love you too brother." Optimus said. Ultra Magnus fell asleep and was sucking his thumb. Optimus quietly tip toed out of the room.

The next Optimus walked into the command center he was carrying Ultra Magnus who was having a bottle. "Morning Optimus." X-brawn said.

"Good morning X-brawn." Optimus said.

"Good morning." Prowl said.

"Morning." Sideburn said.

"Good morning Prowl and Sideburn." Optimus said. Optimus yawned.

"Wow Optimus didn't you get a full recharge?" Sideburn asked.

"Not with him cry for his bottle." Optimus said. Ultra Magnus pulled the empty bottle out of his mouth and said. *Burp!*

"Would like to see Koji? Remember from yesterday?" X-brawn said. Ultra magnus cooed. "X-ban" He said.

His brothers snickered. Ultra Magnus looked at Prowl and said. "Pwowl."

Sideburn and X-brawn snickered. Ultra Magnus saw Sideburn and said. "Sidebuwn."

Prowl and X-brawn snickered. Koji walked in. "Hi Ultra Magnus." Koji said. Ultra Magnus stared picked him up and said. "Ko-ko." Optimus knew that wasn't good idea.

"Ultra Magnus put him down he is more fragile than us." Optimus said. Ultra Magnus put Koji down.

"Sowwy." Ultra Magnus said.

"It's cool. I let you call me Ko-ko just don't grab me like that again okay?' Koji said.

"Kay." Ultra Magnus said.

"I have to go to the fire station. But I'll be back soon. Autobot brothers will you watch him for me? " Optimus said.

"Sure thang Optimus" X-brawn said.

Optimus handed Ultra Magnus to X-brawn. Optimus got close to Ultra Magnus and said. "I'll be back as I can be good for the Autobot Brothers." Optimus said. Bye bye Oppy be safe. Ultra Magnus thought. "Bye bye Oppy." Ultra Magnus said. Optimus patted his head and left.

The Build team was working on some toys for the little tyke. They hoped he would like them.

The brothers smelled something. Ultra Magnus needed his diaper changed. X-brawn laid him down and took off the diaper cleaned him up and placed a new one on with out so much as grossing out. "Wow X-brawn you're good at that." Sideburn said. "Thanks I use to help change Prowl's diaper and your diapers all the time when you two were sparklings." X-brawn said.

Sideburn brought in a bottle which Ultra Magnus eagerly took. Ultra Magnus finished it and let out a burp. Koji turned on kids show and Ultra Magnus' optics were glued to the screen. He liked this show. The build team came in. They had a box they placed it down and opened it. They took out some toys Ultra Magnus was interested. Ultra Magnus wanted to play. Ultra Magnus took the hammer and began to pound the pegs. Ultra Magnus saw the shapes and the box with the holes. Ultra Magnus began to put in the shapes. Ultra Magnus then began to stack the blocks. Ultra Magnus then let out a yawn. "Looks like someone is in need of a nap." Prowl said. Ultra Magnus yawned once again he was sleepy. Prowl scooped him up and took him into Optimus' room and put him in the crib.

Optimus had returned that night and found Ultra Magnus fast asleep in his crib.

Two weeks later.

"Optimus I found a way to return Ultra magnus to normal," TAI said.

"Okay how?" Optimus asked.

"All you have to do is surge energy from your matrix to his that will return him to normal." TAI said.

"Will it hurt him?" Optimus asked.

"No," TAI said.

Optimus ever so carefully began to surge the power of his matrix to Ultra Magnus'. Ultra Magnus began to grow then he was sitting on the table. Everyone was high fiving. "What happened?" Ultra Magnus asked.

"For two weeks you were nothing more than a sparkling and I took care of you." Optimus said.

"Thank you," Ultra Magnus said.
