Fictional History
The Amulet's creation is unknown, but it is implied that a person named Zoah created the artefact and bestowed it with his own abilities. The Lightning Knights guarded it, until Lord Fear's attempt to steal it. He succeeded, but was imprisoned by Ace Lightning. Lady Illusion helped Lord Fear and his gang of villains escape and they stole the Amulet again, leading to their journey into the American town Conestoga Hills. Ace Lightning followed, as did the Amulet which shattered into seven pieces which flew off and hid themselves, following the programming of the video game.
The characters spent the first season searching for the Amulet fragments, summoning characters from the Sixth Dimension to join their sides, namely Googler, Random Virus and Sparx. The Amulet pieces were hidden around the Kent Bros. Carnival (or the Carnival of Doom to most of the characters), although three pieces were owned by Ace, Lord Fear and Lady Illusion from the beginning. The other pieces were found underground by Dirty Rat, in a crane game by Mark Hollander, in a garden gnome by Ace, and in a raffle prize box by Lady Illusion. The last piece was gained by Dirty Rat who briefly started a rebellion against Lord Fear, whilst Lady Illusion gained the Lightning Knights' pieces of the Amulet; having been blackmailed by Lord Fear's servant Staff Head when he learnt of her forbidden romance with Ace. Lord Fear gained the fully restored Amulet and it drained the Lightning Knights of their powers. They fought the villains until Mark located the Amulet in the carnival's haunted house and shattered it, sending all of the villains except Lady Illusion back to the Sixth Dimension.
In the second season, Mark hid the fragments around his house but they were quickly located by Lady Illusion, disguised as a housekeeper named Felicity Fury. Lord Fear returned and quickly summoned his fellow minions with some newcomers. Kilobyte ultimately decided to use the Amulet to trap mankind in the Sixth Dimension, although it seemed he could already do this with his own abilities. He briefly gained the Amulet in its complete form only to be blasted into the Sixth Dimension himself by Ace, Lord Fear and Mark. The Amulet shattered again and the pieces flew away. Their location was never revealed due to the show's cancellation, but it was revealed in the third season that Lord Fear was to try to use science and human technology to free his minions without the Amulet's powers.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional and/or history:
“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“History ... is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
