4	''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.
5
6	Originally a DarkerAndEdgier reboot of the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' 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=] Website/DeviantArt account once he makes them.
7
8	!!This series contains examples of:
9	* AlienInvasion: The Gravitus invasion. They do have a partially [[WellIntentionedExtremist well-intentioned]] reason to, however.
10	* AnyoneCanDie: No one is safe here, and all deaths are final.
11	* ArcVillain: Fidel for Arc 1, [[spoiler:Dr Thorne initially]] for Arc 2, [[spoiler:who gets usurped by Eins]], The Gravitus for Arc 3, [[spoiler:Thorne again]] for Arc 5, and [[spoiler: Infernus]] for Arc 6.
12	* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Infernus is banished back to dormancy for a million years, but Stormer and Chiharu sacrifice their lives in the process letting their grown children live on with their families. While most of Earth is in ruins, life will rebuild itself.]]
13	* BreatherEpisode: Arc 4, where Stormer and Chiharu raise their children and live a peaceful life.
14	* CanonWelding: With ''DarthWiki/DiamondPhase'', after the events of ''DarthWiki/MUGENClashOfUniverses''. Calia/Amber and Stormer/Chiharu periodically visit each other via interdimensional travel after making friends during the tournament.
15	* CoolAirship: Both Dr. Thorne's flagship, The Gambit's Revenge, and Jack Fortuna's personal ship, The Free Joker.
16	* DarkerAndEdgier: Than Sonic Unchained, its former incarnation.
17	* DoomedHometown: During Operation Sabretooth, GEIST decides to make an example of the rebels by ordering an orbital bombing on New Orleans, killing everybody there (including Stormer's family) except for Stormer and Chiharu.
18	* EarnYourHappyEnding: After the first few arcs. Stormer and Chiharu go through lots of hardship before they finally get their peace, settle down, and have kids. [[spoiler:And even then, their peace doesn't last long.]]

23	* WonderChild: Lightning and Iris are a downplayed Sci-fi version of this. Since Stormer and Chiharu were unable to have kids as cyborgs, they opted for Chiharu to get an artificial womb to give birth, a risky process with a high chance of failure or defects. The process worked perfectly and the twins' birth was considered a miracle.
