After Troy hears her sing she decides to confide in him Gosei had told it would be a good idea to confide in one of her fellow rangers. It was something she had never even told Gia.
She remembers the day early on when she asked Gosei if he knew who she was born as and her original home.
"I know who you are Princess Isabella and I'm sorry I don't have any information on your original home world or what happened to it after you were sent here" Gosei informs her
"Thank you Gosei anyway, can we keep this a secret from the other rangers, I don't want them to know, I am Emma now" Emma asks Gosei
"I can do that, but they would understand, maybe share it with one of them" Gosei responds
"Maybe I will, one day" Emma answers him
She tells him how it was her mother's song. She also confides in him how she misses being able to sing her parents song, she doesn't want to bring unwanted attention and singing her parents song may call the Deer Zord to her location and that would alert this world's version of her parents of her existence and she can't change anything, they aren't her parents. The Isabella of this world is currently only about 3, her world was further ahead than this world. She arrived in the past of this world, she arrived in world before the version of her in this world was even born.
She goes on to tell Troy she was born Princess Isabella Baliton to Merrick Baliton and Princess Shayla. She was going to be the next Princess of the Animaria but she was stripped of that when she arrived in this world. Instead she became a ranger like her father.

After the final battle Emma breaks down, she got to see her father for the first time in eight years, even if he was morphed. All her family friends too, the Time Force and Wild Force rangers but her Uncle Wes didn't recognize her because he wasn't her Uncle Wes, he was this worlds Isabella's Uncle Wes. He didn't know her. It all just hit her.
Troy goes to her side "None of them knew me, none of them recognized me, eight years Troy, eight years" Emma sadly tells Troy
"I know Isabella" Troy says using her birth name deciding it's better for this situation as Emma curls up into his arms.
The other rangers are very confused. What is it Emma is talking about and why did Troy just call her Isabella.
"Uncle Wes looked right at me, he didn't know me. I never thought it would be this hard" Emma confides in him
Troy wraps his arms around her tighter and kisses her hair.
"Maybe it's time we contacted them, especially if you want to save them, stop them from going through what you went through, save Isabella from losing all her family too" Troy suggests
The other rangers are getting more and more confused; this conversation makes no sense.
Gia comes over "Hey, what's going on?" she softly questions them
Troy looks up, he had forgotten the others were here.
"I'm sorry, can we talk about this later, Emma and I need to go out of town for a couple of days. I promise when we return we will try to give you your answers" Troy tells her and the others
"Ok" Gia answers not sure what else to say
Troy picks up Emma and carries her away.
The others just stand shocked.
Jake turns to Gia "Do you have any idea what all that was about"
Gia turns to him "No, I thought I knew everything about Emma. We've been best friends since she moved here when she was nine. She doesn't talk much about her life before she lived here, but it seems like she told Troy"
Jake puts his hand on her shoulder and she lets him.

Troy and Emma decide to visit the Silver Guardians. As its where Wes and Eric are and it's a public location, this way they can get Eric to call his wife Taylor who can get a hold of Merrick and Princess Shayla and if not Taylor can get a hold of Alyssa and Cole who might be able to if Taylor can't.
When they arrive at the Silver Guardians they ask to speak with Wes but they don't have an appointment. They tell the assistant to tell Wes it's about his recent visit to Harwood County he will want to speak with them.
They are correct and are invited up.
They ask to bring Eric in on the conversation too.
"You're the new rangers" Eric says as he enters the room
"Yes, we need your help" Emma tells them as she then continues to tell them who she is and why she has come.
"My name is Emma Goodall, I was the Pink Megaforce and Super Megaforce ranger. With me is Troy Burrows he was the Red Megaforce and Super Megaforce ranger. He came with me, as he was the one on my team I confided in. I wasn't always known as Emma, I came from another world, another version of this earth. I lived in that world with parents and older brother and family friends but we were attacked by someone my father thought had changed. My parents with help opened a portal to this world and I was sent through. I was nine when I arrived, I had arrived before I was even boon on this world as this world moved slower than my original world"
"Why tell us this" Wes asks Emma wondering
"Because of who I was born as, who attacked my family" Emma tells him before continuing
"I was born Princess Isabella Baliton of Animaria"
"Eric can you please call your wife, and get her to get a hold of Merrick and Princess Shayla. If she can't get her to get a hold of Alyssa and Cole, please" Emma finishes
"Sure" Eric replies not sure what else to say and calls Taylor
"Also make sure they don't bring my other self or brother" Emma adds
Emma sees the look of shock on Wes's face and decides to add "Wes your wife's from the future is other world's such a stretch"
"you know a lot" Wes tells her
"I grew up with you all, I know all the family secrets" Emma tells him
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
While they are talking Eric calls Taylor "Taylor, can you get Merrick and Princess Shayla and bring them to the Silver Guardian's but Isabella and Nicolas need to stay behind there's a situation"
"I will, I will also get Alyssa and Cole to watch the kids so I can come too, I wanna hear this" Taylor answers him
Taylor does just that goes and collects Alyssa and Cole brings the kids with her. They all arrive at Animarium.
"Princess Shayla, Merrick, I need you to come with me, there's a situation at the Silver Guardian's. Eric told me collect you but the kids need to stay behind" Taylor tells them as they arrive
Taylor turns to Alyssa and Cole "Can you two watch the kids, I promise we will tell you everything once we know"
Merrick, Shayla, Cole and Alyssa all agree.
Merrick and Shayla follow Taylor out while Alyssa and Cole stay behind.
Once they arrive at the Silver Guardian's the assistant tells them they are all in Wes's office as they walk past.
As the three enter Troy holds Emma's hand for support.
Once they enter Taylor speaks up "What's the situation?"
"You know how all the rangers went to Harwood County for the big fight" Wes asks her
"Yes" Taylor answers wondering what that has to do with anything.
"These two here are two of the rangers from that team" Wes tells them
"Nice to meet you both, what are you doing here?" Taylor asks wondering how they knew who exactly they were and how to find them.
"I'm here because of what may happen in a few years, what happened to my world" Emma starts
Troy squeezes her hand and she continues
"As I told Wes and Eric earlier my name is Emma Goodall, as they said I am the Pink Megaforce and Super Megaforce ranger. My friend with me is Troy Burrows, he's the red Megaforce and Super Megaforce ranger. He was the one on my team I confided in and he came with me. I wasn't always known as Emma; on my world I was called Princess Isabella Baliton. I know you have questions but please let me continue. I lived on my world with my parents and older brother until I was nine, we lived on the Animarium. But we were attacked by Zen-Aku who had teamed up with a villain from the future, from Time Force's time. We were losing, you guys weren't the rangers anymore, your kids were. Haylie, Lacey, Kyle, Nicolas, Danny and Chris were Wild Force. Sarah, Connor, Suzanne, Shane, David and Melissa who had returned for the battle were Time Force. I don't know how it ended I was the youngest minus the two babies, I was sent though a portal to this world. My Parents and Animus made this possible. I just wanted to tell you so you would be warned, so my other self in this world wouldn't have to go through what I went through" Emma finally finishes
Princess Shayla speaks up "So you're our daughter from another world"
"Come here" Princess Shayla says as she pulls her daughter into her arms
Emma relaxes into this world's version of her mother's arms.
"How long has it been for you since you saw your parents?" Shayla asks Emma
"I've been here eight years, I was adopted by the Goodall's they've looked after me and became my family. When I came here I lost my connection to the Animarium, I was no longer going to be the Princess like my mother but last year I became a ranger like my father" Emma tells them
Merrick comes over to his wife and this alternate version of his daughter "Thank you for bringing this to our attention, I promise our Isabella won't go through what you went through" He then hugs his wife and Emma.
"Why don't the two of you stay with us tonight and go back home tomorrow" Merrick tells them
"I can't go there I can't interact with my other self or see this version of my brother" Emma tells this version of her dad
Merrick and Shayla share a look and decide that Emma needs them more tonight.
"The two of you will stay with us tonight, Isabella and Nicolas can stay with Cole and Alyssa, I'm sure they won't mind" Shayla tells them
Taylor speaks up "If not, they can stay with us"
"I will go on ahead" Taylor says "Did you want to call Alyssa and tell her what's going on. We can tell her everything else tomorrow"
"Sounds like a plan" Shayla answers
Taylor kisses Eric goodbye and leaves "I will see you at home" She tells her husband
Shayla calls Alyssa to fill her in on the plan. Promises to tell her everything tomorrow.
Emma and Troy say goodbye to Eric and thank him for his help.
Wes drives Merrick, Shayla, Emma and Troy back to where they need to go. Before he leaves Emma and Troy thank him for his help today.
The four of them then head up to the Animarium.
Emma gets to see the Animarium for the first time in eight years, even if it isn't her Animarium. While she and her team did visit it earlier in the year while looking for the Red Lion that was just the outskirts, this was the centre. This was her home for so long.
Her and Troy are shown where they will be sleeping tonight.
Her and Troy stay up with this version of her parents and tell them about her life and go into more detail about the attack in her home world and the days leading up to it. In the hope that they can change it here. Tell them that if it still happens they can send Isabella to them in Harwood County rather than to a different world like her parents did. They will look after her.
Merrick and Shayla decide after a while it's time for them to go to bed and leave Emma and Troy some time to themselves. Before the two them also decide to go to bed.
After Merrick and Shayla retire, Troy turns to Emma "How are you holding up"
"It's a lot to take in, and to be back here again, I've missed this place. It was my home for the first nine years of my life. It's also different, I can feel this one is different to my Animarium, I don't have the same connection and I miss that" Emma tells him
Troy puts his arm around her shoulder and Emma leans in.
"It's a lot for one day, but at least they still want to be here for you even though you are an alternate version of their daughter and family friend, you have an amazing extended family in any world"
They sit there for a while before Troy speaks up again "We should probably get to bed; tomorrow is gonna be another long day. When we get back we have to tell our friends"
"I know" Emma says but doesn't move "In some ways I'm grateful for moving to this word, If I hadn't I never would have met any of you, I wouldn't have become a ranger, I would have taken my mother's place as protector of the Animarium"
"I'm also grateful you came to this world and became my fellow ranger and friend" Troy tells her
Then they both start leaning towards each other and share a kiss.
When they pull apart they both have smiles on their faces.
"When we get back would you go on a date with me Emma" Troy asks Emma
"I would like that" Answers Emma
"Come on, I will Show you where your sleeping" Emma tells him, after she does so she then goes to find where she's sleeping.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
The next morning after the four of them have breakfast together, Emma shows Troy around the Animarium and spends a few hours on the Animarium. They then go back and lunch with Merrick and Shayla before they head back down to the ground.
When they get to the ground they find Wes waiting for them.
"Thought you might like a lift home" Wes tells them
"That would be great thanks" Emma thanks him as they both climb into the back of his van.
The three of them a have nice chat on the way back.
As they arrive back in Harwood County Wes tells them what they also heard from Merrick and Shayla.
"Remember Emma, even if this isn't your world, your still family. If you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask"
"Thank you Wes, that means a lot, glad to have you all" Emma thanks him as they get out of the car at the park where they had promised to meet the others. Time to now share the story with her friends. It's certainly been a long few days. Emma can't wait for it to be over than her and Troy can just go on their date.

Five years later Troy and Emma are living together when there is a ring at the doorbell.
Emma turns to Troy and they both go to the door. Days have been Tense recently with it being the days leading up to when she left her own world.
When they answer the door Isabella is standing there and they can see a Silver Guardians van driving away.
"Isabella?" Emma asks
"Mum and Dad sent me, they said I would be safe here" Isabella tells her
"Mum and Dad are right; you are always safe here. I gather the fight has started" Emma tells Isabella.
"Yes, they are all fighting. Just wish I could help" Isabella tells her
"One day you will, Nicolas may be a ranger but you have the most important job, protecting the Animarium" Emma tells Isabella
Troy grabs Isabella's bag and the two of them show Isabella to her room. "We'll give you some time, we'll be in the lounge room" Emma informs her

Three months later Isabella is still living with them, whenever anyone asks about her Troy and Emma say she is Emma's younger sister it's the closet to the truth. Her parents can't look after her at moment so she's currently in her sister's care. Isabella has come to see Emma as a big sister and Emma has come to see her as a little sister.
Emma and Troy have come to fit her into their lives, if she stays much longer they will need to do something about her schooling. Emma knows up until now Isabella has been home schooled and Emma remembers how hard it was to fit into Public Schooling after being home schooled on the Animarium.
She hasn't heard from this world's version of her parents. Emma hopes the fight is just happening on the Animarium and everyone is ok. They had warning this time. They knew it was coming, they were able to get Isabella to safety.
Emma is with Troy and Isabella when she hears her old morpher go off. "I'll get it" Emma says as she gets up and grabs her morpher and heads to her room for privacy. "Gosei?" Emma asks
"Emma, a portal just opened up from your original world and two people have arrived here, I believe it's your parents" Gosei informs her
"Thank you Gosei, can you please teleport them to the base, Troy and I will be there soon. We have Isabella with us here, I don't want them coming here, I wouldn't be good for her" Emma asks Gosei
"I will do that; I will talk to you when you arrive. Use your old morpher's to teleport here, it will be faster, given the situation" Gosei informs her
"Thank you Gosei"
X-X-X-X-X-X
Emma goes back out to Troy and Isabella "That was Gosei, people from my world are here"
"Are you going back there?" Isabella asks her "I don't want you too, I like having a sister" Isabella continues before she can answer
"No Isabella, I'm not going back. This is my home now. I do want to see them though, I want to know what happened to my world, my family and friends from there. I like having you as a sister too" Emma tells her
Emma turns to Troy "We need to call Jake and Gia, get them over here. Then we can go"
"I will call them, you sit with Isabella" Troy tells her, Isabella needs Emma now.
X-X-X-X-X-X
When Jake and Gia arrive Emma and Troy grab their old morpher's and teleport to the base.
"Hi mum, Hi Dad" Emma says when arrives and sees her parents standing there.
"Sorry about having Gosei teleport you here, but I couldn't have you come to my house with Isabella there, seeing you wouldn't be good for her and would just confuse her" Emma informs them.
She feels different then she did five years ago when she met the alternate versions of her parents. Had they arrived five years ago, she's not sure what she would have done, she doesn't think she would have returned with them. Had they arrived before she became a ranger she may have returned with them. Now though she has made a home here. This world has become her own. She has gotten to know this worlds versions of her Parents and family friends. Especially over the last three months with Isabella living with her. Also the not knowing what's happened here, she's needed here.
"Isabella?" Her mum asks
"Yes, I go by Emma now, but yes it's me mum" Emma answers her mum
"Who's the other Isabella you mentioned?" Her mum questions her confused about that part
"The younger version of me, the version from this world, she's become like a younger sister to me. She is currently in my care; we don't know the status of her parents or family friends aka why she can't see you" Emma answers
"How long have you been here? You should have only been here three months" Merrick asks his daughter
"Three months! That's how long Isabella's been living with us, how long her parents have been missing. I've been here thirteen years! You might notice this is a ranger base. I was a ranger five to seven years ago. When I saw the Wild Force and Time Force rangers during our final battle for the first time in eight years I broke down. None of them knew me, I wasn't there Isabella, I was just Emma. I met them though and they became friends and family again just different" Emma tells her parents
Troy moves forward and puts his arm around Emma's shoulders. Emma relaxes under her fiancés touch.
"Hi, I'm Troy Burrows, Emma's fiancé. Look it's been a stressful few months, we're currently worried about what's going to happen with Isabella. Every day she stays with us we figure out what to do. If she stays much longer, we're going to have to figure out what to do about her schooling. The two you have arrived in the middle of all that. We have discussed on multiple occasions what would happen if we had contact with her original world but can we please continue this tomorrow, you are welcome to stay here but you can't come back with us due to the situation. You also can't go anywhere your other selves would go due to the situation. I'm sorry. We will be back in the morning but we need time to think on this" Troy informs Emma's parents
"We understand" Princess Shayla tells him
Troy grabs Emma and the two teleport out.
X-X-X-X-X-X
They arrive back their place, the walk into the lounge to find Jake and Gia curled up on the couch. "We're back" Troy announces
Jake and Gia turn their heads towards them "How'd it go?"
"As expected" Emma answers "Isabella?"
"In bed" Gia answers
"Let's step outside" Troy speaks up
"So what happened?" Gia wonders
"They thought it had been three months, they didn't even know I had arrived in the past. Didn't know I've lived here for thirteen years!" Emma tells her
Troy pulls Emma into his arms again
"Were going back tomorrow to discuss it, it was just too much for tonight" Troy lets them know
"I think they want me to return with them, which is never gonna happen. This world has become my home now. I've lived here longer. I want to know how how everyone is back home. I need to know they are all ok. But this is my home now, with you guys, where I am a sister to myself, haha. Once we know what's happening with Isabella's parents, I'm getting married. This is my home now; this is my world now. If we can find a way to create a doorway to my original home then I would like to visit, but this is my home" Emma tells them
Troy hug her closer.
They talk for a longer before its time for Jake and Gia to leave.
"Can you come back in the morning, we need to visit my parents?" Emma asks as they leave
"Of course, we will see you in the morning" Gia tells her as they leave
"Thank you" Emma calls after her
Troy and Emma head back inside and get ready for bed.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
The next morning, they head back to the base to have the conversation with her parents.
"Mum, Dad" Emma speaks up when she arrives
"Emma, Troy, your back" Merrick responds
"Of course dad, just needed some time to think" Emma tells him
"What happened? I thought the portal would have led to the same point in time" Shayla asks
"No mum, this world moves slower than yours, I arrived in 2006, four years before I was even born. I changed my name to protect myself. I became Emma Collins, I was adopted Goodall's and became Emma Goodall and I have been for the last thirteen years. Five years ago here there was a major battle and after that I met this worlds version of you and our family friends. I warned them of what happened in my world. So this world's version of me didn't go through what I went through. When the battle started Merrick and Shayla sent Isabella to me and Troy. She is currently in our care. I know you want me to return with you but I can't, this world is my home now. I have been here for thirteen years and I have a life here. I have friends, a fiancé, but I would like to know what happened back home, is everyone ok" Emma tells her parents, probably not what they want to hear but she has lived without them for thirteen years.
"Your Uncle Danny didn't make it, but everyone else is alive. Melissa went back to Lily and Theo, Haylie became the Quantum ranger, the rest of Wild Force has stepped down but Time Force is still fighting, they're still needed unfortunately" Shayla informs her daughter
"Uncle Danny, I'm sorry" Troy puts his arm around Emma, he never met Danny, he was always away, he came back for the major battle. He just hopes it isn't the same here but it may.
"How long has it been for you since I left" Emma asks her parents
"Over a year, you have a little sister, we want you to meet her. That's why we couldn't come earlier" Shayla tells her
"There's a new Princess of Animaria, I don't need to come back, she is now the protector of the Animarium" Emma answers a little relived but also sad at the same time. Her biggest worry about not returning was who would become the protector of the Animarium now her mum's time was up. Sad because she was no longer the Princess, she wasn't needed it cemented her want to stay here.
"You're still our daughter" Her mum says sadly
"I know but I'm not needed there. I'm needed here, I have a fiancé, friends, I already have a sister who needs me, even if she is actually a another version of me, she is my sister here, until her parents return I am family" Emma informs her parents
"I see your not gonna come home with us" Shayla sadly tells her daughter
"I promise one day I will visit; we will create a way to visit you. Just now is the wrong time. If you had come before the major battle, you could have met the others but I promise one day you will" Emma informs her parents
"We can spend a couple of hours here talking if you like. Our friends Jake and Gia will be fine watching Isabella" Emma goes on to tell her parents
That's what they do, the four of them spend the next couple of hours getting know each other, Shayla and Merrick get to know this grown up version of their daughter and everything she has gone through in this world.
Eventually though it comes time to leave, Emma hugs her parent's goodbye.
"It was great to see you again, Mum and Dad, take care of yourselves and the rest of our friends and family back home. Hopefully one day I will get to meet my little sister" Emma tells her parents
Her parents hug her again.
Merrick turns to Troy "Look after my little girl"
"Always will sir" Troy replies
"I'm not a little girl anymore" Emma tells her dad
"To us you are, last time we saw you, you were nine. You will always be our little girl" Merrick tells his daughter.

Edit: Changed her arrival from two years to four years before her birth. Originally she was born in 2008 and the battle took place in 2017, i changed it to 2010 and 2019 as but noting else changed. i just pushed her birth forward two years therefore pushing the battle two years forward as i wanted to be nine but, the other kids were to young to be rangers in 2017 but 2019 was a little better. I had reasons for not doing this originally but i managed to work around them and was able to reference two more characters.
NEW CHAPTERS COMING!
You will all get to see more of what happens with Emma and all her extended family from her original home and her new one. As well as a crossover with Dino Charge.
Thanks for reading I hope you enjoyed this. I loved the idea that Emma was actually Merrick and Shayla's daughter. I expanded on this idea using characters and storylines I already created and planned to one day write. I never got write them.
A few things to help clarify. Why did Zen-Aku become evil again? This is due to Merrick disappearing randomly while the two were travelling together. Merrick was actually transported to the Animarium where he finds Princess Shayla is still awake, she didn't fall asleep when she raised the Animarium. Merrick also finds no way off the Animarium. He is trapped with Princess Shayla on the Animarium. At first they try to keep themselves apart but eventually they get together. This results in the birth of their two children Nicolas and Princess Isabella.
Eric marries Taylor, they have three daughters Melissa, Haylie and Lacey (this is where my pseudonym comes from)
Jen stays in the past after reinforcements from the future and marries Wes, they have two children Conner and Sarah. They adopt a son one year before the major battle with Zen-Aku. More to come in future chapter.
Max has two children Chris and Danny.
Danny's story is a whole new story. Will be told in future chapter
Alyssa marries Cole, they adopt Lily Chilman and then have Kyle.
Katie marries Trip, they have Suzanne and Shane
Lucas marries Nadira, they have David.
Melissa and Lily are really close growing up and when Lily leaves for Phai Zhaq Melissa goes with her. But as shown in this Melissa is called back for the battle because she is needed. This is when Dai Shi escapes and why Melissa wasn't chosen as one of the protectors as she was needed at home. (I changed the year Jungle fury happened to fit into my universe) As told by Emma's parents Melissa went to join Lily and Theo in Ocean Bluff after she wasn't needed anymore. She becomes the Pink Leopard Jungle Fury ranger. (Her profile and ranger suit are on my tumblr)
This universe will also include SPD but that's another story.
Thanks for reading, I love this universe. Most of this backstory I wrote in 2009 and I loved being able use it in this story.
