Unchained Lightning is an upcoming original story made by one of our own Tropers, {{Tropers/TheHailStormer}}. Set in a future where the world has nearly been conquered by a dictator named Nicholas Fidel and his GEIST (Global Enforcement Infantry Strike Troopers) forces, this is the tale of two cyborg lovers, fighting to survive together and reclaim their freedom in a world at war. But with GEIST's forces on the move, one man's desire for vengeance growing, and more sinister machinations at work in the shadows, that will not be an easy task. The stakes are high, surrender is not an option, and blood will be spilled.

Originally a {{Darker And Edgier}} reboot of the {{Franchise/Sonic The Hedgehog}} series called Sonic Unchained, it was converted into an original series in December 2014 after one of the original creators behind the ideas for the project resigned. All chapters of this story will be posted on TheHailStormer's DeviantArt account once he makes them.

!!This series contains examples of:
* AnyoneCanDie: No one is safe here, and all deaths are final.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Than Sonic Unchained, its former incarnation.
!!Character Tropes:

* [[spoiler:EarnYourHappyEnding]]: [[spoiler: He and Chiharu, after all the hell they go through throughout the series, will eventually settle down, get married, and have kids.]]
* EmergencyTransformation: Was made into a cyborg after he was found at the brink of death from an orbital missile strike.

** Parts of his backstory and abilities were inspired by 80's movies like {{Film/Red Dawn 1984}}, {{Franchise/Terminator}}, and {{Franchise/Robocop}}.
** His core enabling him to still eat and drink despite having his core burn up all the food was taken directly from the {{Film/Mega Man}} fan film.
** Thunderstorm, his dual lever shotguns, were inspired by a similar weapon in [[VideoGame/ThingThing Thing Thing Arena 3]].
* ShockAndAwe: Raijin has the ability to control lightning and fire blasts of lightning at Stormer's foes. It's also his primary motif.
* StraightEdge: He firmly believes in this policy.

* TheHero: He's the two main characters of the story, and takes this role in almost any group he's a part of.

* ThisIsADrill: Stormer's Volt Driver attack, where he creates a lightning drill on the blade of Raijin to ram into foes.

* [[spoiler:UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom]]: [[spoiler:Stormer and Chiharu brought Dr. Thorne a strange red gem that they found on a mission, and due to the gem's corruption of the Doctor, they were indirectly responsible for him turning into an evil madman and nuking Moscow.]]

* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Family and Destroyed My Home City]]: One of Stormer's reasons for fighting Nicholas Fidel and the UN.

* ActionDad: If his kids are kidnapped, he won't hesitate to dust off his weapons and rescue them.
* [[spoiler:AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: His final fate after he makes the ultimate sacrifice with Chiharu to stop Infernus and save the world. Both of them become one with an infinite source of energy, are transformed into Energy Beings, and live out the rest of eternity in peace together.]]
