The Yoke's On You In a flashback, Shadow receives a vision of Sonic shattering the Prism, causing an event that shakes the world and seeks to stop him from fighting Eggman, hoping to avoid a catastrophe. However, his hostile tactics and cryptic warnings prevent Sonic from understanding him, and both fight each other before Sonic slows him down enough to reach Eggman. Back in the present, Sonic's energy surge causes New Yoke City to temporarily black out, cluing the Eggman variants to a new source of power, coming to the decision to dissect and strip the Paradox Prism's energy from Sonic's body. However, resistance fighters Rebel Rouge and Renegade Knucks arrive and rescue him and Nine, but are prevented from leaving by Rusty Rose.
