#I'm working on a post-Prime fic and it plays out pretty similarly

I think Prime should've ended the same way as Monsters INC.

You have Sonic get back to Green Hill, sees his friends again, Shadow yoinks the Prism, etc. just like in the actual show.

The last scene starts out the same. Sonic is out having fun with his friends on the beach. They chat a little. Maybe establish that Sonic's already told them what happened with the Shatterverse.

And then Shadow shows up. He's kinda hanging on the sidelines, but Sonic spots him and tells his friends he'll be back in a bit. He goes to talk to Shadow. Shadow has a surprise for him, but he's secretive about it. He takes Sonic a out a little bit away from everyone.

I don't know exactly how he does it. Maybe he uses Chaos Control, or maybe he's able to use just a bit of the Prism's energy without destroying anything. But Shadow's figured it out. He grabs Sonic arm and teleports them into the Void between the Shatterspaces.

You can see it on Sonic's face. He's about to cry. He thought... he thought he'd lost everyone. That he'd never had a chance to see them again. He hugs Shadow. Then he runs off across the Void. The screen goes dark.

Then, you hear Nine's voice.

"Sonic?"

Sonic laughs. "Missed you, bud."

And the credits roll.
