A man in a black trench coat, hat, and glasses along with a woman in dark jeans, black jacket, long dark hair but her eyes are covered completely with technical goggles are running and shooting from something chasing them from behind, but the shots from the other side are more furious and they can hear the footsteps getting closer and closer. The black trench coated man along with the girl they come across two double doors and both brings their guns up to blow them away to create an opening for them to go in. Both look around and there are of course plenty of cyber demons and monsters right behind their back along with on perpetrator leading the demons on their tails.
Both then run to a Sporting Goods department and they load up on whatever guns and weapons they can find. And then one of the Cyber Demons come steadily with it's treads and has a torso with long metal pipe arms and clamps that can cut human flesh and a head that is nothing, but a scanner eye glowing red is patrolling the halls moving its head slowly left and right trying to detect movement.
Then a Basketball rolls right at its line of sight to the right and as it sees the ball and shoots it, Silent Jim then comes out of a shelf section he hides from and aims right for the Cyber Demon. As the Cyber Demon slowly turns its head back, Silent Jim shoots the Cyber Demon in the head with a shotgun many times and its head explodes with wire but also, its entire body.
Wanda is at a toy section and then sees there are Nerf and she then finds a Nerf rocket launcher she quickly takes it out and then there are a few more cyber demons that are hunting her down she then sets up the rocket launcher and points it at a direction and then fires the rocket and the cyber demons see the trajectory of the rocket and shoot at it, but then Wanda she takes out something he earlier got at the sporting goods department a skateboard, puts her body on and then slides down and she also takes out her Uzi and has it on auto fire and aims for each of them heads and discharges it and she's made her mark on each head and each of them explodes as she rolls down.
Meanwhile Silent Jim runs and there are a few more gunshots and so does Wanda where she's at, they both meet up at the grocery section and then both give each other some hand signals telling each other to separate and meet up at the clothing room department. Both then run separate directions each trying to get to the location they promised safely.
Jim while running suddenly has memory flashes between both for them as both remember when they use to be human, one night both slept in a bed together both snuggling with one another to have each other's warm. On a counter is his id on the counter it's a police badge and it says Jimmy Lee and there is another id it's a reporter id and it says, "Wanda House." There is also a set of files on a case against a man by one of many aliases named Bishop whom is seen in a photograph having a suit and tie, receding black hair line with sunglasses on and there is a newspaper next to the files with the year, which says September 13, 1982. And there are a series of photos of both Wanda and Jimmy smiling and having a good time, from their time at the park to even several places they travel, one of them in front of the Seattle space needle. On the counter right in front of the photos there is a box which is opened and has a ring.
Back to the present Wanda goes to the clothing dept and hides under a consumer service counter, as there are a few henchmen and women that are coming her direction, they then go to the dressing rooms and shoot at the doors automatically assuming she's there and then Wanda pops out and with her Uzi shoots up the henchmen and women. She then runs to an employee only door and shoots that up and opens it and runs. Silent Jim then is at the baby section and he sees two henchmen he then at the right moment hiding at the baby seat shelves he then jumps down and then knocks both down, both try to get up, but he knocks them out by whacking them with two of the baby car seats in his hand. He then throws them away and then takes out the shotgun he had hidden on the shelf of that section and runs to where Wanda is.
And in another place a henchwoman is searing out the clothing isle and she soon comes near the dressing room doors. One of those doors quickly open and knock her down hard and Wanda comes out and as the henchwoman is on the ground, Wanda punches her knocking her out cold.
Suddenly a memory flashes for her where both Wanda and Jimmy as they are both in bed together in the night they hear cars and outside see that his house is being raided by Bishop's men, he then has his shotgun and his handgun, he takes the shotgun and Wanda the handgun and both put on their clothing on and come out. There are a few in the living room approaching and then Jim pops out and fires killing a few of them. One has an automatic weapon and then fires but Jim has cover behind a wall and he keeps firing but runs out of ammo, then one pops out, but Jim butts the guy with his rifle and the guy goes down.
Someone is breaking to the back of the house and gets open a door, Wanda then runs over to the opening which leads to a kitchen area. She sees the perpetrator whom has a gun trained on her but as he discharges a shot she quickly goes to the left of a wall and the shots go right though but miss Wanda. Wanda quickly points her shotgun and aims it at the section slightly below where the shots came from and the discharge goes through the wall and hits the perpetrator in the chest which makes him crash down on the floor. Another perpetrator comes in, but Wanda kneels using the hole she made to see the next perpetrator and then aims the shotgun and shoots right thought he hole which then hits the perpetrator in the chest and he flies crashing down on a table, another body for the floor. Someone else tries to come through the door but then Wanda drops down on her right side still holding up and aiming the rifle and then blows away the other guy whom flies right out the back yard. But then there are two guys that break a couple of the windows and are trying to come in, but Wanda quickly gets up and comes in and fires on the opponents and both fall before they even set one foot inside the house.
One guy jumps in and is running at her with a knife, but she simply blows the guy away and he gets thrown backwards and hits another window falling though. Wanda takes a breath and backs away slowly but then suddenly someone has a gun on the back of her temple. Wanda closes her eyes cursing herself for failing the check her six and then having no choice drops her shotgun and she is escorted down the stars, meanwhile Jimmy is involved in some sort of knife fight with one of the opponents, both of them have a grip on their knife hand and Jimmy has his back on the table as the guy pins him down. Jimmy is feeling his grip weakening as the guy is lowering the knife very slowly on him and he is making some shushing sound. Jimmy is disgusting by his taunt and then he has a crazy gambit in mind but it's the only way for him to win. Jimmy then pushes the knife hand of his opponent up slightly and then let's go and quickly roll to his right as the knife blade comes down but only hits the table. Jimmy then grips his own knife hand with the opponent's hand and twists it quickly and then quickly pushes his own knife hand which the blade sinks quickly into his opponent's heart and the opponent yell in pain, backs away from Jimmy and goes down. Jimmy then stands up and takes a breath and then suddenly he sees Wanda is in trouble and that Bishop has a gun to her head, Jimmy then drops the knife but then Bishop immediately points the gun at Jimmy and shoots Jimmy in the heart and he is thrown from the impact and then drops flat to the ground unmoving no more life in his eyes. Wanda in an emotional outburst grabs the gun trying to wrestle it out of his hands and avenge her lover. But it's no use as Bishop then just pushes her down in front of him and blows her away in the heart and she just move her head to the left, blank stare, mouth gaping a bit no more life in the eyes.
The guy with the gun looks at both bodies with detached coldness, he has the same exact outfit and look as he did in the file Jimmy has stored. Suddenly Bishop hears a little alarm go off on his watch and knows that the signal trouble is coming and he then signals all his men to go away and then minutes later a group two of them consisting of one man in a black trench coat and black leather paints and long black hair along with one female in a red trench coat with long blonde hair, there is someone else whom is in grey and black fatigues and short brown hair and a beard. The Demon Hunters group Michael and Gabriel's parents Armon and Robin and their stepfather Peter they see the bodies of both Wanda and Jimmy and then Peter orders the fellow hunter to take the bodies of both.
Both the bodies of Wanda and Jimmy are now hauled to the Demon Hunter science headquarters being worked on. Both go on steel cart slabs and their clothing is cut from both till both are nude head to toe. Both their heads are then shaved till their both bald, then both are carted away and are taken to different sections. For Jimmy it's the stealth and assault section and for Wanda it's the intelligence section. There are a team of scientists that are working on both both have certain electro sensors that are placed on their heads and a team of programmers are programing and downloading certain data on combat training, intelligence tactics, etc.; but also, by doing this wiping out their memories so it can easily be downloaded. Then in the next phase are biointergrating and replacing certain organs in their body with cybernetics to help their abilities and give them long lasting life. Both then go into some sort of watery tanks and the chemical fluid in them to help stimulate the flesh and muscle structure, keeping the integrity intact and working. About a year latter the final preparations are made and all they do now is put on the clothing from Jim's black paints, shirt, and trench coat. And down to Wanda whom wears black leather pants and a T-shirt. Then the sunglasses are placed on Jimmy and they put the visors on Wanda now and both are rolled in gurneys and both get separated from one another to go to the science division which is currently working on male and female cloning, cryogenic and has an android assembly line. As both go to their stations there is an id bracelet on each of them, for Jimmy it says, "Code Name: Silent Jim" and for Wanda it says, "Cipher Code Name: Wanda."
Silent Jim then is at the hardware dept and takes a lot of tools, Jim takes a couple of wrenches and sees a group of demons and cyber demons come his way. He then finds other tools he throws nails on the ground and gets a bunch of screw drivers; the demons then step on the nails and some of them fall while others jump over them and Jim throws a few screw drivers at the cyber demons and they fall. There is a flashback to when Jim was on some sort of mission he shoots up a few demons but then he hears there is someone in trouble. There is a dog demon that is attacking Michael and Mike is trying to hold its jaws up from chomping on him and he is trying to get his knife but the demon dog is too strong and just when it was about to maul Mike, suddenly there is a shot and it's paw is blown off and it is in pain and then it gives Michael an opening to him and he then unsheathes his combat knife and then stabs the dog in the heart multiple times. Michael looks to see whom the shooter is and sees a man in a black trench coat. Michael then comes up to the person and looks at him curiously and then offers him hand, Silent Jim looks at it curiously and then he shakes it and then Michael introduces him to his brother.
Back in the present Wanda and Jim then both run into one another and point their guns at each other. Silent Jim gives sign language then Wanda takes off her mask and so does Jim, both smile then their both see there are several soldiers and demons left and then both then look at the hardware section for weapons and see a couple of things. Jim takes a skateboard and takes a baseball bat to use as a katana and Wanda then takes a tennis racket and gets a bunch of tennis balls and checks to see if her bow is handy. And then Silent Jim comes out first and then is knocking most of the demons and henchmen in his pathway with the bat. And as some of them are drawing guns, shortens or medieval throwing weapons and are trying to shoot him down. But then Wanda pops out and hits tennis balls and a strong superhuman speed which knock out, injure or disarm all the bad guys and then both Wanda and Jim drop what their doing and then the see Bishop is the only one left as he has his katana out waiting for both. Both Jim and Wanda they have their weapons drawn, Jim's katana and Wanda's bo staff.
Jim and Wanda along with Bishop both walk up to one another slowly and then they go into their stances and then commence attack. Both Jim and Wanda are striking out with their weapons against Bishop's katana fiercely, but Bishop blocks each of their strikes quickly almost as if he knew exactly where they were going to strike. Silent Jim and Wanda aren't sure what they we're going to do as each of their moves gets countered but continue fighting. But then at the right moment Bishop is able to pull off a counter attack, he first blocks Silent Jim's strike has it in an interlock and then as Wanda come near he then sidekicks her, then Bishop quickly take his right hand off the handle and then he moves his palm up and sudden a blade underneath his wrist retracts and he thrusts trying to aim for Silent Jim's Adam's apple. But Jim he dodges on time, but the blade punctures he left shoulder which makes Jim wince in pain, even though he can't bleed he can feel pain.
Wanda she then charges and tries to swing at Bishop with a diagonal left swing, but he blocks it with his left hand catching the bo staff end and with the right wrist blade then quickly thrusts toward Wanda's face, but she dodges but barely as she turns the blade then makes a cut at her cheek. She backs away quickly but keeps her left hand on the bo staff and then the end she grasps she pulls out a sword. Jim and Wanda then have him cornered at both sides with their weapons ready, Bishop he then retracts his wrist blade back, he switches his katana to his right hand and then with is left he moves his hand down and a retractable blade comes out but from the top of his wrist. Jim and Wanda attack at the same time and Bishop is still able to block every attack from them in both directions with both his weapons. But then he comes toward Wanda in a circular spinning motion with both blades as he jumps slightly which throws Wanda off balance a bit and the blades comes swirling at her just barely keeping her distance unable to effectively block the strikes. Bishop he lands on the ground briefly and then does another spin jump while executing a jump side kick that connects with Wanda. Wanda goes down on the ground and Jim continues his attacks on Bishop but with more furoisity and in the strikes, Jim then does a continuous striking motion having the sword in one hand constantly moves the sword forming an x which makes Bishop back off and then Silent Jim executes an overhead strike which Bishop blocks in a cross block and then Jim puts one foot back and then suddenly with his left boot some razor blade retracts and then Jim executes an ax kick and brings it down hard on the left hand blade which blocks and Jim's strike with his razor boot breaks Bishop's left wrist blade. Bishop gets staggered by the strike as he's lost one blade, he then looks at Jim quickly switching his katana once more to his left and then in a flash moves his right hand and it shoots out the bottom wrist blade which comes toward Jim, but Jim blocks it with the handle of his Katana. Bishop rushes forward as he comes in with an overhead strike he executes, Silent Jim immediately drops his katana as the projectile won't allow him to get a good grip to execute a good overhead block and instead uses both his hands to catch the overhead strike. The Blade is trapped between two of his palms and then Wanda from behind kicks Bishop in the groin. Bishop drops his sword and reels and is on his knees and then both of them come in front of him and then Bishop he puts his hands up in surrender, but then suddenly there is some sort of motion that comes out from both wrists but both Wanda and Jim where able to catch both the wrists on time and turn them on him and there is a large boom where Bishop's brains got two different directions and then Bishop goes down on the ground. What was on Bishops wrists were to retractable connected mini guns which both Wanda and Silent Jim where able to turn on him.
Silent Jim and Wanda they both breathe out in relief from surviving but also completing their mission. Then then both look at one another for the longest time and start coming close to each other, both then have one final flashback where both as they come back from their battle they have flashes of all the time they spent where they were both human Jimmy and Wanda slow dancing together at some club, at a beach meeting and talking as both of them stroll as the ocean moves, wind blows calmly and the sunsets, Jimmy chasing Wanda at his house.
It then comes back to the present and both wear surprised looks on their faces as most of their memories of each other flooded back and then
Jim and Wanda say one thing to each other.
"Wanda Hause"
"Jimmy Thaut"
THE END
Author's Note: This is my second story, this is basically the story of Silent Jim and Wanda the Cypher's origins. Yeah, I saw a lot of the "Battlestar Galatica" revival at the time and it really got me thinking about who both were, and I felt both had to be cyborgs. It makes sense for Silent Jim's part where he came back, but here I wanted to show both were someone before and little hints of their origins while keeping both a mystery. And it's there's just about no talking in this, I wanted this segment to be in silence because both aren't talkative people, their people of action. And as an old saying goes, "actions speak louder than words".
