The revolution begins (transformers 1x1 with Kia-bee)

[Kia_Bee]

Fang's tail drooped a little at Mirage and Sideswipe's responses. "Guys, you know them. We fought by their side when we had NEST, remember?" He couldn't understand why the older mechs didn't recognize them.

"HEY! FRENCHIE!" A familiar female voice yelled, clearly unhappy.

"That can't be who your thinking of. I think maybe you got hit in the head and need to be checked out. Optimus has been dead for a while. The matrix probably went to someone else." Sideswipe told Fang.

Optimus turned around when he heard someone yell and hot rod was too scared to turn around. His gaze was on the purple femme. He got a better look at who mirage called "cousin". There was only one femme he called that and he recognised her by her optics. "Jolt drive?"

Jolt drive looked shocked and made a hand gesture asking the approching femme to halt. "How do you know my name?" She asked, speaking in clear English this time. There was a slight Italian accent to her, but she was still understandable. "Answer me! How do you know my name?!"

Optimus made optic contact with her. "Because I am Optimus prime." Jolt grimaced at what he said "if i didn't see you, I would laugh at that. Because how dare you imitate someone who is long dead. You disgust me! If you're the real Optimus prime, prove it! I bet you can't."

[Kia_Bee]

"He is Optimus!" Fang snapped, snarling a little at Sideswipe. "I'd recognize his scent anywhere. There's no way anyone else can imitate it." He added, looking at Jolt Drive. "It's him."

The red femme looked at the mech claiming to be Optimus. It kinda looked like him, then again it had been years since she last saw him. There was only one way she knew how to test him. "Who was Ironhide?" She asked, looking right into his optics. If he answered incorrectly, she would make him regret impersonating Prime.

[the machine]

Optimus let out a sigh. "Ironhide was my weapons specialist. However, he was also your father, Spitfire" he told the red femme, recognising her. "You are his daughter, along with your sister Tink. His sparkmate was chromia."

Optimus' answer made jolt drive stand back in suprise "he knows...-" then Optimus spoke to jolt drive and the other two mechs, to prove to her he was real. "- and jolt drive, Mirage, sideswipe. Do you remember your little joke on ratchet where I allowed you to hide in the energon vault because I believed ratchet was not in the right to punish you for something so minuscule?" He asked. Mirage and sideswipe took off their dusk mask and looked right at Optimus. "How... only Optimus knows that..." sideswipe whispered.

Jolt drive's gas mask transformed, to reveal her face. Now the team could see it was actually them. Jolt held out her hand. "Let me see your blaster." She ordered. Optimus gave it to her. She grabbed her visor from the top of her head and put it over her optics. There was a certain sign Optimus had on his weapons that couldn't be replicated to alert others that it was him. The visor found it before she looked at Optimus. The facial recognition features registered the mech in front of her as Optimus. She lifted the visor off her optics and put it back on top of her head. Her hood fell off, revealing the car seat pigtails and the dashboard side fringe. "It is you" She shoved the weapon back to Optimus "what do want?"

[Kia_Bee]

Spitfire stumbled a little in surprise. It was him, it was really him. "Only Optimus would know my parents." She said before looking around a little. "Where are they? Why aren't they with you?" She asked, unaware of her parents fate.

[the machine]

Optimus hesitated before speaking. "chromia and ironhide were both killed in battle" he stated. Jolt drive glanced at spitfire before looking back at Optimus

[Kia_Bee]

Spitfire felt her spark both stop and shatter into pieces. No, it couldn't be true. She shook her helm before looking at her team. "I...I'm going for a ride." She said, turning around and starting to walk off. "If I find out any of you told Tink, I'll make sure you can't be identified." She added before transforming and driving off.

[the machine]

Optimus stepped forward. "Spitfire, I'm sorry. I-" then she sped off. Jolt drive watched spitfire go before glaring at Optimus. "What do you want? I'm certain you came here to tell us more than that."

Optimus answered. "Jolt drive, I need you to end the rebellion" "no" jolt drive folded her arms "I think you've forgotten too much about me. Because if you remember, I stick to my final decisions." "Jolt Drive please. There is a way to settle the problem without violence." "Was I not clear? No!" Jolt Drive shook her head.

[Kia_Bee]

"We can't stop the Rebellion. They'll see it as a surrender." Fang said. "We're not going down without a fight, Optimus. You might be the Alpha, but I have to disobey your orders." He said, noticeably sad by his decision.

[the machine]

"Fang's correct. we spent so much time fighting and we're nearly there. the rebellion in France is succeeding. they're passing a bill that allows cybertronians to live there freely and destroys the TRF. i'm not letting you get rid of our progress." Jolt Drive told him. "governments can't be sweet talked into destroying what almost destroyed us." she told him. "this isn't cybertron, and this isn't america." Mirage added.

"you're going to get seriously hurt" optimus tried to reason. "so? Jolt drive argued. "it'll be worth it for our freedom."
