Music Ending - Need Assistance

Note: The following topic is rooted in music theory questions. Some terms may be confusing to most people and I have tried to explain them to the best of my ability, however feel free to ask for clarification.

I was recently commissioned to do work for an upcoming game project, and they wanted some very bright music with an action feel behind it. I’m a very traditional composer in that I write my scores on paper before mixing them, so I decided to try using a C Lydian Mode(basically, take a C Major scale but sharp the Fourth). For the most part I am pleased with the result, however, I have found difficult in resolving the piece(ending it). It seems that neither a major one chord or any of the diatonic harmonies(chord scales) are resolving right.

The above is a link to the score in question. This is a bit of a more niche topic and I understand if answering proves difficult. I just have not found an answer yet in my search. Thank you!

Have you tried making it fade away like making it quite at the end? I think that would really work then just making it end I have learned from that it makes the music smother as well try making it end the same way it started.
