*Italizied=In Confessional
    Previously On ETN 2...
    "I'm over this all my friends are dying," says Ethan.
The tensions between Alex and Ethan rises. The group commits acts of torture to cleanse a cursed doll and gain another stone. Alex proves himself by finding the 6th Stone the need to leave reality at constant war.
    "It's a stone," says Laura.
And pushes the group to murder one their own to cleanse the doll and get the stone powers.
    "I'm gonna vote for you," says Alex.
    "Please don't do this to me!" says Ethan.

The group is in the commons waiting for what comes next.
    "We should remember when there should be no hard feelings," says Matt.
    "We need to stop with the drama," says Josh.
    "I'm noticing that the stone holder has the same symbol on it that was on your bag, Enida," says Victor.
    "That symbol that's on top of the stone holder is the same one on Enida's bag. Is she not telling us something," says Victor.
    "What does it stand for?" asks Jamie.
    "The Society Against Evil," says Enida.
    "Who are they?" asks Kayla.
    "Essentially the Society Against Evil fight all things that are evil," says Enida.
    "I've been with them before," says Enida.
    "They failed in their mission and that's why I'm here. To help on your way," says Enida.
    "6 people have died and now you decide this is important information to know Enida. I'm not buying it," says Matt.
    "If they failed how are we suppose to succeed," says Josh.
    "So that symbol that is on the map," says Deja.
    "Yeah bring it over here Jamie," says Alex.
    "As with the last time or the first time we clensed a scary looking artifact we've gotten a stone along with it. There is now something new on the map," says Laura.
    "This looks like green smoke," says Alex.
    "This looks like me after a night of chipotle," says Josh.
Everyone laughs at Josh's joke.
    "Okay so what's new," says Deja.
    "The Man With No Name's Layer," says Victor.
    "The Man With No Name was hunted because the town thought he was a freak of nature he sure showed them," reads Jamie.
Then something falls from out of nowhere outside
    "What?" says everyone.
    "When I hear crashes like this. No, I don't wanna go near it. Please I really don't wanna go outside," says Alex.
    "I'm that girl. Like why are we going towards the crash," says Josh.
    "Nothing is here," says Victor.
    "Oh my god it's a body!" says Alex.
    "Who is that?" says Deja.
    "When he said something fell off the roof. I thought he meant a shoe or a stuffed animal or maybe popcorn. Not a dead body!" says Deja.
    "Should we take him off the popcorn machine?" says Matt.
Then they open the body bag.
    "Oh my god!" says Kayla.
    "Wait there's a book in here," says Josh.
    "We're takin' the book y'all," says Josh.
    "Let's go back inside," says Jamie.
    "I'm done with dead bodies," says Laura.
Alex opens the book and reads what's inside.
    "I'm getting close to finding the statue of ara. His power is both terrifying and intoxicating. Many have died trying to obtain it," reads Alex.
    "I'm thinking that this has gotta be the next artifact that gets us a stone," says Jamie.
    "After gathering there obituaries. I discovered that their deaths have been secretly chronicled in the adventures of Alan Mordamine. There's something about placing the volumes in their proper order that will reveal the statue. The painting holds the key," reads Alex.
    "Painting?" says Deja.
    "So we need books?" says Victor.
    "Is there any other pages?" says Kayla.
    "There are six books," says Alex.
    "Let's go to the library then because that's where the books are," says Matt.
    "Yeah let's do that," says Alex.
The group goes upstairs to the school library to find the six books but they get there and there are next to nothing amount of books there.
    "Let's start looking," says Jamie.
Kayla, Matt, Alex, and Josh go to the first ile of books and find a red book.
    "It's his name," says Kayla.
    "Look for books written by that person," says Deja.
    "As we are flipping through the book we also see another page that has a painting and we realize that this painting has six people in it," says Josh.
    "Oh that's the painting," says Laura pointing at the painting of six people on the wall.
    "Looks like we're gonna have to place the six books in front of the picture in a certain order," says Victor.
    "We need to find these books one, and we need to match up these books to a murder that happened two, and we need to figure out where the hell do we place them," says Josh.
    "Three, four..," says Alex and Kayla together.
    "We have six books guys," says Matt.
    "There's a photo in here that looks like it's a book holder. Oh so that's where we need to place them in order," says Alex pointing at a book holder on a shelf against the wall.
    "We still need to find the obituaries so that will tell us the order," says Deja.
    "Guys I like found a secret pocket," says Alex holding a piece of paper in his hand.
    "Each of these obituaries has a really detailed description of how all these people died," says Jamie.
    "Sara Jean was eaten alive by flesh-eating beetles," says Alex.
    "Then we find out that the causes of their deaths actually line up with the books of Allen Mordimine. So we use the pictures and the obituaries to match them up with their appropriate adventure in the paintings," says Victor.
    "This guy was crucified by the black order cult," says Alex.
    "That's the evil cross," says Deja.
    "Oh I got, Danielle, Impaled by a Trident," says Jamie.
    "This is this right here," says Laura.
    "With that information, we're able to line up the books in the order their suppose to go," says Laura.
    "So one," says Alex
    "Two," says Laura and Deja.
    "What's three?" asks Alex.
    "Steak Burned Alive," says Kayla.
    "Three, four, and then there is five and six," says Laura handing the last two books to Alex.
    "Ok I'm gonna go put these over here," says Alex.
Alex and Laura go to place the books on the shelf where the book holder is.
    "Oh my gosh," says Josh.
    "We finally get the books in the correct order and suddenly," says Kayla.
Then the group hears a snap coming from the commons and one of the wall panels had come down.
    "Well I guess we go back downstairs," says Alex.
    "A wall falls down and there's a whole secret room right there," says Laura.
    "That looks demonic," says Alex.
    "This crazy door opens out of nowhere and inside is this really scary statue," says Josh.
    "It must be the Statue Of Ara," says Matt.
    "There's some kind of box in here you guys. I feel like we should open it but I feel like we shouldn't," says Kayla.
    "Inside the box, there's a note and a bunch of straws the note says. The Statue Of Ara infects all who touch it," says Laura.
    "Oh no did we just touch it," says Alex.
    "I think you touched the box," says Laura laughing.
    "There are no scary element people, there's no scary maiden of madness. But there is a just a cute little statue but if you touch it you die," says Victor.
    "To purify the corrupted idol five ancient stones must be placed at its feet that's those holes," says Jamie.
    "To find the stones you must assemble two hunting parties by drawing straws from the box the two with the short straws will be the party leaders starting with the youngest leader they will take turns picking their team. The group to recover the stones will be safe from the final challenge however the man with no name protects his gems and his touch removes you from the hunt for five minutes your only sanctuary is under a red light," reads Laura.
    "The short straws get to be the team captains. Short straw number one Victor. Short straw number two Kayla," says Matt.
    "You pick first cause your the youngest," says Kayla.
    "This is a lot of pressure, um I pick Matt," says Victor.
    "I pick Josh," says Kayla.
    "Laura," says Victor.
    "I pick Alex," says Kayla.
    "Jamie," says Victor.
    "Okay no hard feelings," says Deja as she is picked last.
Team Victor       Team Kayla
1. Victor           1. Kayla
2. Matt              2. Josh
3. Laura            3. Alex
4. Jamie            4. Deja
    "It's okay best for last," says Alex.
    "So where are we hunting?" says Josh.
    "We have to go outside and the only safe place is the red light," says Alex.
    "We have to recover five gemstones and we can't let him touch us," says Victor.
    "Let's get this hunting party started," says Enida.
    "We walk outside and there is just this terrifying green mist covering the entire town/carnival and we notice these hands that have severed fingers, there missing fingers," says Deja.
    "Each clue will lead their respective group to a severed finger," says Laura.
    "Yay. I love discovering severed body parts," says Matt sarcastically.
    "Ew gross we have to find fingers why," says Alex.
    "After each finger is found the group must return to their hand and put it back to the bone to receive the next clue," reads Laura.
    "So we need to find these fingers, put the hand back together and hopefully find these gems," says Deja.
    "So basically whoever doesn't get the gems first their names are up for elimination," says Alex.
    "I think we should get started," says Enida.
    "Hunting party two ok," says Alex.
    "Does everybody have their notes?" asks Enida.
    "Yes," responds everyone.
    "Okay both teams read your first clue," says Enida.
    "Stand between the sun and moon and view the tree that died too soon," says Laura.
    "So we need to find a tree that died too soon and look for sun and moon," says Jamie.
    "Eight sides to feel the air a romantic place to stop and stair. There are stairs that are romantic and eight sides," says Alex.
    "Where could that be?" says Kayla.
    "It's the gazebo," says Alex.
    "The gazebos right there," says Deja.
Then a tall figure with long arms and legs comes walking towards where Team Victor was walking and everyone sees it.
    "I'm in pure shock!" says Alex.
    "Find a red light," says Josh.
    "Around the corner comes the man with no name. Towering over us," says Victor.
    "And he has really long arms that just swoosh swoosh swoosh," says Jamie waving her arms around.
    "My team's strategy is to split up. Kayla and I go to the gas station. Alex and Deja go and find some clues," says Josh.
Alex and Deja get to the gazebo.
    "Is it under the stair?" says Alex
    "My team's strategy is to actually to stick together," says Victor.
    "I can't see anything!" says Matt.
    "Look it's a sun!" says Victor.
    "Where's the moon," says Matt.
    "There's a lock, there's a code," says Kayla.
    "It's upside down," says Josh.
    "That thing is coming back," says Kayla.
Deja and Alex run and hide behind a building.
    "I'm sure the strategy is working. I'm sure that Alex is a leader. Kayla and I decide to go meet up with them and help out any way we can," says Josh.
Deja and Alex go under a red light. Then right next to them Team Victor finds their first finger. Making the score 1-0.
    "He's coming back!" says Kayla.
    "Oh shit. Oh shit," says Josh.
    "Red light! Red light!" says, Deja.
    "Okay we need to stick together," says Josh.
    "I think the finger is in the stairs. Like S-T-A-I-R," says Alex
    "When we get our first clue we automatically know that it's gonna be the gazebo. The hardest part of this challenge is actually finding the fingers," says Alex.
Team Victor puts their first finger onto their hand.
    "What's the next clue?" says Jamie.
    "I don't know," says Matt.
    "Where's the next clue?" says Matt.
Then the Man With No Name comes back to where Team Victor is. Matt and Jamie are under a red light.
    "Hi sir I'm over here!" says Jamie.
    "Literally the tall homeboy was right in between us and I'm thinking to myself what can I do in this situation hello distract him," says Matt.
Then the second clue appears.
    "I've got the next clue!" says Victor.
    "Tall man! Are you over six foot? Come to daddy!" says Matt.
    "Good job guys keep distracting him," says Victor.
Then the Man With No Name comes running at Matt and Jamie who try to distract him and they get under the red light.
    "In 15 doors a finger resides but in one a secret resides," reads Victor.
Then Team Kayla goes to the gazebo again to look for their first finger.
    "It's gotta be here," says Alex.
Then Deja goes to look under another step.
    "I found it. I found it," says Deja.
Team Kayla goes to place their first finger. Then Team Victor goes to look for their second finger at the far end of the carnival/town.
    "Guys 15 doors and only one has a secret," says Victor pointing at the doors.
    "We need to figure out how to get in one," says Victor.
Then Victor looks in the cracks of one of the doors and finds the second finger.
    "Right here!" says Victor.
    "Oh my god. Victor, you're a genius," says Jamie.
    "Is my group even helping. Is it just me hello?" says Victor.
Team Kayla gets their second clue.
    "Burn and Churn. Pour in More," says Josh.
    "He's coming guys!" says Alex.
    "Under the red light," says Deja.
    "You know we have a smart team assembled here and none of us can figure this thing out. So I say let's ignore these riddles and go to the gas station where we know that there's to unlock an extra Zodiac Stone," says Alex.
    "It's a code," says Deja.
Then Team Victor place their second finger onto their hand.
    "So close guys," says Matt.
    "Guys go, go, go. Oh my god," says Jamie as the Man With No Name starts to walk towards them.
    "88 Keys to open the door it's two will leave you wanting more," says Matt.
    "88 Keys," says everyone.
    "A piano!" says Victor.
    "Yes in this room," says Matt pointing to the music shop.
Team Victor go into the music shop and Victor finds it immediately.
    "Got it," says Victor.
    "Go, Go! He's coming. Get under a red light," says Laura.
Team Kayla find the note on the lock for the extra stone and they give up on it and they try to go find their second finger even though they have fallen behind from the other group. Matt, Laura, and Jamie try to distract the Man With No Name while Victor goes and places the third finger on their hand. Victor finds a note and key. He drops the note and then goes back to pick it up and is almost hit by the Man With No Name's long arms.
    "Oh My God!" screams the group.
Team Kayla goes back to the gas station and Deja finds the second finger.
    "Finally Deja finds the second finger but we're pretty far behind at this point," says Alex.
    "I live beneath the faces of the dead find me and..," says Matt.
Team Victor is right next to a shop with skulls hanging outside of it.
    "Guys look in the skulls," says Jamie.
Deja places there second finger on their hand with Alex picking up the next clue and reading it.
    "Round and round we go. Where we stop nobody knows," says Alex.
    "The Carasell," says Deja.
Then Victor comes to a little staircase and he sees something sparkling under the leaves he swipes the leaves.
    "Oh My God. There's something under here," says Victor.
    "Did you find it?" says Jamie.
    "Yeah," says Victor.
    "Bring the key!" says Victor to Matt and Laura.
Then Team Kayla go to the Carasell and start to look around for it.
    "There are so many places it could be on this thing," says Alex.
    "He's coming back," says Josh.
Then Team Victor opened the box Victor found and the gemstones are inside.
    "We won," says everyone.
Then Team Victor goes back inside.
    "Can't believe we won," says Jamie.
    "That was so terrifying," says Laura.
Then Team Victor all group hug in happiness that they are safe from elimination.
    "The other team has assembled their hand, we're going into the elimination challenge," says Alex.
    "I'm kind of angry to be honest because Alex and I solved two out of three clues and we didn't get a lot of help," says Deja.
Team Kayla congratulate Team Victor on their victory.
    "That means you guys are up for vote," says Matt.
    "This letter says, the Scorpio & Blood Stone can only be recovered by learning the name of the man without one. Two must be selected by vote to enter his toxic layer and steel it from him. And the one who fails will feel the vengeance of the Man With No Name," reads Laura.
The group goes back to the commons and each team sits apart from each other.
    "Alright. Tell us how it was out there we have to decide who to vote for this isn't easy," says Laura.
    "I wanna hear my friends plead their cases I wanna know what they feel they've done because I want the strongest competitors moving forward," says Laura.
    "I think my record speaks for its self throughout this whole thing. I've been committed to saving everyone I can-," says Alex.
    "True," says Matt sitting back in his chair.
    "I've been committed to ending Bai Fan's regime. Have I slipped up yes? I was captured when this all started and should not of let you and Laura get captured in the first place and yes I have blaitenly convinced everyone here except for Victor to vote for someone who was toxic in our group. But besides that, I have been committed to every single one of you, but I think sending me into this challenge would be a mistake," says Alex
    "All those things are true," says Matt.
    "It's hard to pick someone when they're all your friend on the other team and one of them is your girlfriend. One, Josh I've known forever, two Deja and Alex who have been really cool and nice to me ever since coming to high school and then Kayla. I don't know who to vote for," says Matt.
    "I feel like for this challenge I've sorta pulled my weight. The first clue I knew it was the gazebo right away. I found both of our fingers," says Deja.
    "I know I didn't pull my weight in this challenge so it is kinda hard for me to go in and plead my case for this," says Kayla.
    "Do you just wanna volunteer yourself since you've made that point," says Jamie.
    "How could we have gone through all of this and your literally gonna sit there and not defend yourself," says Victor.
    "You are about to die. Like plead your case, tell me why you should stay. It seems like she doesn't care," says Laura.
    "I'd just leave it at that, to be honest," says Kayla.
    "I feel like I care about everybody. I do have a few limitations. I'm a little taller so," says Josh.
    "For Josh, it's the same kind of story. He feels like he didn't contribute anything to his team," says Victor.
   "I just want him to defend himself, show that he's still passionate about surviving otherwise he's gonna go in," says Matt.
    "I know you guys feel like you have everything stacked against you. What's the most hurting-," says Jamie.
    "You're defeated," says Victor.
    "Your defeated and-," says Jamie.
    "And we need fighters," says Victor.
    "It is now time to vote. Only people from the losing team will be displayed are you ready?" says Enida.
    "Yes," says Matt.
    "Let's start with you," says Enida pointing at Alex.
    "If I was scared before I'm even more scared now there are only four possible people to pick and even though I've done a lot to help these teams who knows. So in my final decision, I have to vote for Kayla," says Alex.
    "I think out of the four of us it would be crazy to put me in this challenge because I think the group needs me. In my final decision, I vote for Kayla," says Deja.
    "Honestly I'm accepting the fact that I have a very strong chance of dying tonight. In the final decision I pick Alex because he is one of the strongest we have," says Kayla.
    "I'm getting the sense that people want to send me into the final death challenge but I do not want to go into this challenge. So I vote for Kayla," says Josh.
    "I want Kayla gone. I think that we should put Alex up against Kayla to make sure that Kayla doesn't win. So I vote for Alex," says Victor.
    "My choice is very hard for me because I love all four of them but I choose Josh," says Matt.
    "I want to give the kiss of death to homegirl Kayla love the girl great outfit but really girl she is not contributing anything to the group," says Jamie.
    "My decision is hard but easy but I chose Josh," says Laura.
    "I will shuffle and draw two," says Enida.
    "I'm really scared," says Kayla to Josh.
    "The first one into the challenge is. Kayla," says Enida.
Kayla nods her head as if she knew she was gonna get picked.
    "The second one, Josh," says Enida.
    "Now I'm scared cause I don't want Josh to die but I also don't wanna die," says Kayla.
    "Maybe by going through this process, you'll find that fire," says Victor.
Matt, Josh, Kayla, and Alex group hug and say.
    "Litty Bops forever!"
Enida walks Kayla and Josh to the far side of the carnival to the Man With No Name's layer. Then they get to the bridge that leads to it and they see a podium with a note on it.
    "There are two sets of eight letters hidden throughout the layer that spell the name of the man with no name. One red and one yellow the first to find their set must call out his name" reads Josh and Kayla together.
    "In this challenge, we need to run around find all the letters and figure out what this guys name is," says Josh.
    "They will then receive the blood and Scorpio gem and the other will be strangled," reads Kayla.
    "It's like a dark creepy easter egg hunt," says Josh.
    "Alright guys are you ready?" asks Enida.
    "Kayla remember that your yellow and Josh you're red," says Enida.
    "After running from the Man With No Name for so long the fact we are going to his layer terrifies me," says Kayla.
    "Good luck," says Enida.
Josh and Kayla then start to run across the bridge.
    "I am scared for them," says Enida to herself.
Josh and Kayla start to look for the letters.
    "This fog is thick. I can't see anything. I have to move as he does. While that's happening the Man With No Name is chasing us," says Josh swaying his arms around towards the ground.
Then The Man With No Name gets near Josh and swipes at him. Josh screams and runs as fast as he could. Then Kayla finds one of eight letters, making the score 1-0 right after that Josh finds his first letter, tying it 1-1. Kayla runs behind a tree and finds a second letter. Score: 2-1, Kayla. Josh finds his second one. 2-2 and then finds a third. Score: 2-3, Josh. As soon as that happens Kayla finds a third one tying it up again.
    "I finally end up finding three. I look over and Josh has three too. So I need to step up my game," says Kayla.
Kayla and Josh find their fourth letter at the same time. The score tied at 4.
    "I found another one okay," says Josh.
Score: 4-5, Josh.
    "Don't know what to do. This is so difficult," says Kayla.
Right when Kayla says that Josh finds his sixth letter. Score: 4-6, Josh.
    "Where haven't I looked?" says Josh.
Josh finds another one. Score 4-7, Josh.
    "This is the last time I wear thigh high boots outside," says Josh placing his seventh letter down on the table.
    "My god. I behind by three," says Kayla to herself.
Then Josh finds his eighth letter and sorts the letters into a name.
    "Benjamin, Benjamin. That's your name!" says Josh.
Then the Man With No Name screeches and the glass case in the middle of the two tables and Josh get the Scorpio Stone and Blood Gem.
    "I got it I did it," says Josh looking at Kayla for the last time.
Then the Man With No Name walks up to Kayla and strangles her to death blowing green mist at her face. She screams and falls to the ground lifeless.
Josh covers his mouth in shock. Josh runs back to Enida who is holding the Statue of Ara. Josh places the Blood Gem on the Statue of Ara and the Man With No Name vanishes into black and red smoke. Josh walks back with the statue of ara in hand and the Scorpio Stone in his pocket.
    "Josh gets back and that means Kayla is dead. I need to get out of here for her. She can't die in vain," says Matt.
Matt, Josh, and Alex hug each other over losing one of their closest friends. Josh takes a deep breath and says.
    "I'm a fighter and I'm gonna stick it out till the end," says Josh.
Josh places the Statue Of Ara on one of the tables and puts the Scorpio Stone in the Stone Holder.
    "I can definitely tell that Josh's spirits are back. He is so happy and proud of himself for making it out there alive and I think we're gonna see a new Josh moving forward," says Alex.
    "But losing Kayla was a big hit on us. It's getting down to the nitty-gritty and it doesn't matter who you are you could still die. It just shows you how powerful these tasks are and how Bai Fan is," says Matt.
