//------------------------------//

Across the many dimensions, the four brave, and ever so reckless Tracks have began their journeys to restore the Amulet of Harmony & Discord. With the aid of Princess Celestia and her magic, they have managed to piece together the first four fragments of the jewel. They must continue their search for the remaining fragments, for time was of the essence for each of them. For the sake of each of their worlds to survive, they must find the amulet fragments, less they fall into enemy hooves. Fast, Neon, Noir, and Sound were all ready to face the next challenge ahead.
Meanwhile, back in Fast Track's universe, Fast was summoned back to the royal castle by Princess Celestia. Fast Track returned to Canterlot to meet with the Princess in person. Fast entered the Castle, passing through the many long hallways, observing the stain glass windows depicting the many feats of heroism from other ponies of before. He then came to the front door to the throne room, protected by 2 royal guard unicorns. "Halt!" The first guard said with authority in his voice. "Please state your name and business."
Fast Track glances at both of them in silence, clears his throat and starts to speak, " Hello, I am Fast Track, and I am here to meet with Princess Celestia for an important matter." He waits as the second guard looks at a list on a clipboard held by his magic. The guards share a nod and Fast is let into the throne room. He walks in where he sees Princess Celestia sitting inside, waiting for his arrival. Fast Track speaks to the Princess, "Your highness, you summoned me here for some reason, I'm guessing it has something to do with the amulet?"
"Yes it does," the princess replies, "You and the other Track have managed to recover the first-fifth of the amulet. This mission of yours has begun quite smoothly."
Fast Track smiles with confidence, "Thanks, I've always been quite good with scavenger hunts." Track looks and sees other pieces of the separated fragments floating within Celestia's magical aura. "I'm guessing the other 'Tracks' of their worlds had no problem recovering the pieces."
"Well, more or less." Celestia said hesitantly. The Princess knew that with different realities would come different forms of danger in each world. "What matters now is that you and the other Tracks of the different worlds find the remaining pieces as soon as you can, or else there literally won't be any world to save!"
Fast Track's body shutters as he whispers to himself, "Yikes! What have I done?" Then he turns back to the Princess and asks her, "Your highness, I've been meaning to ask; where is your sister, Princess Luna?"
"Ah yes, my sister." the princess tries to recall, "Princess Luna is currently in the search for something called the 'Nintendo console'. It was something that I brought up to her after it was brought up to me by Sound Track of the alternate dimension after talking about this person called 'Bayonetta'... it's a long story." Princess Celestia gives a light chuckle before returning to the subject at hoof. Princess Celestia stood up from her throne, walked down the stairs and up to Fast Track with the floating fragment pieces following her. "Just know that there will be many trials ahead of you in searching for these pieces."
"What trials are you referring to, Princess?" Fast says in a bewildered tone.
Celestia brought the amulet fragment pieces in front of herself and Fast with her magic as she explains, "Like moths to a flame, wondering pony souls will drawn to the unleashed power of the amulet fragments, twisting their minds and bodies with it's uncontrollable, chaotic magic. So far, you have been lucky that none of the fragments have fallen into pony hooves."
Fast gives out a sigh as he shakes his head from hearing the Princess say those unlucky words. "Why did you have go and say THAT? What a jinx!" Fast Track knows first hand to be careful of what you say, less it comes back to bite you in the flank.
As Fast Track speaks, Princess Celestia uses her alicorn magic to try and reassemble the four pieces of the amulet together again. Within Celestia's yellow magic aura, the fragments begin to come together again. As they do, a purple colored glow starts to radiate from the joining amulet pieces, as the now formed piece starts to make a low pitched hum. After the magic light show, Princess Celestia sends Fast Track back out on his mission to recovery the remaining fragments , wherever they might be.

Meanwhile on the outskirts of Canterlot, on the top floor of an old renters' building, was an empty studio apartment. The room was filled to the brim with pictures, posters and sculptures of a familiar looking draconequus. An assortment of Discord merchandise littered the floor. Discord T-Shirts, Discord coloring books, a Discord lunchbox, boxes of Discord breakfast cereal, and a comedic sized Discord plushy doll that was tall enough to touch the ceiling. This collection filled the home like it was a little foal's playroom, from the front door to the pullout couch-bed. The bed was the only thing clean and neat. The only thing on top of the bed covers was a tiny broken piece of a familiar purple jewel. Soon after, the front door opens up and somepony enters the studio apartment. That pony was ILoveKimPossibleAlot, who came inside her place and slammed the door behind her.
"I WAS SO CLOSE!!!" She screamed as she entered the room. KP stomped through her room, frustrated with her loss at the museum. "The amulet could have mine, my absolute greatest treasure. It would have made me worth more than all the bits in Cantorlot. All of that effort and planning, and what do I get? Just a tiny, worthless shard." 
KP looked over to her poster in a Hang-In-There pose, and started talking to it with desire in her voice. "Oh my sweet, chaotic senpai, I swear it wasn't my fault. It was that meddling red unicorn that broke the amulet. Why did the mean stallion have to get in my way to steal that jewel?" 
In her schizophrenic frustration, she jumped on top of her bed and laid next to the only piece of the amulet she managed to get away with. "Ugh, what's the point of having this piece? It's nothing to me! It's as worthless as it was priceless" KP turned on her side away from the amulet fragment. As she curled up on her bed, she heard a low pitched hum that sounded like it was coming from the other side of the bed. She turned around and soon noticed that the amulet fragment that she stole was starting to glow as it made that noise. "Wait! What is this?" she said as she peered at the jewel. KP felt mesmerized by the glow, she could not look away. It was the same feeling she had when she first had the amulet back in the museum. She was tempted to pick up the piece to see what would happen. As she did, a strange purple aura surrounded the fragment, and then surrounded her hooves and forelegs. 
"Whoa, is this for real?! What is this power?" KP said with surprise in her voice and in her eyes. Soon after, her eyes began to emit a purple, misty aura that surrounded her pupils. The sclera in her eyes changed from white to black, as she looked to see what has happened to her. KP smiled and laughed maniacally as she rose out of bed with the amulet fragment in hoof. "Ooh ooh oh, I think I can get use to this!"
