Suddenly, out from a nearby time portal, comes the adult versions of Reynold & Wren, who warn them that Auburn Pines is in danger. and they need their past selves' help to save it, as well as Halloween. So they must form a team to save them. Dorsilla, hoping to make up for her error in the first game, volunteers to choose the leader of the team [after a comedic argument from the siblings].

Bill gets mad at the team for wrecking his plans. He decides to propose a wager - if they can beat him, he will give up his plans for Auburn Pines. If they lose, their town will be bulldozed to drill for oil, also planning to kill the kids of the adult Reynold & Wren, as well as the adult Lucy & Everett and their daughter Halley [from the last game], and their kid selves too, in the process. Not wanting to have their friends lost to a bulldozer, the leader accepts the challenge.
