***Boys vs. Girls: The Rise of the Serpent*** is the second part of the *Boys vs. Girls* trilogy. It was released in December 2011. It is the ninth installment of the D.I.T. Literary Universe and the third book of Part Two: The Downfall of Evil.

## Summary

Against all odds, the School War has officially begun. The ruthless Emily Watson is still on the verge of destruction! As the war rages on, friends will bond, relationships will strengthen, and two evildoers will separate forever. Emily has a mysterious queenly benefactor that Boy-Team leader Steven Thompson must expose to the Eight Worlds.

## Plot

One night, Zamb Organa Senior arrives at the federal district, where he meets Vice President Wallace, and proposes having his son create the Armies of Organa. Years later, Emily Watson is summoned to the underground Lair of Adages within her own home, Thunder Quarters, by the Orc Devil, who commands her to devise a plan to sway the enigmatic and almost mythical Magistrate to the Girl-Team side. Meanwhile, Steven Thompson and powerhouse twins Vincent and Jay Organa, and the new addition of Josh Hogan, repels the Girl-Team for the second time ever when several elite warriors attempt to vaporize the bedrooms of innocent civilians and they capture Ludwig Beethoven II; it is the second battle of the ongoing School War. With the academic year over, Steven's parents take him and his friends to an amusement park, only for everyone to get trapped on a roller coaster until Andrew Hendersen's parents turn up and rescue them, all as a diversion for Watson to have the Magistrate's son Eegan captured. Thompson and his friend Angela Grace rescue the baby and he travels with another friend, Summer Petersen, to Maryland to return Eegan to his mother, exposing Watson's plot to destroy the baby and blame the heroes. They fly to Jade Sanctum and meet the Administrative Office of the Police Grand Army, of which Sheriff Bladepoint is present so he can warn of the Orc devil and her connection to the potential return of the Dark Lord.

Thompson has an awkward transition into junior high. Soon, there is a school art party, and numerous Boy-Team members attend as they are ignorant that it is a trap that ultimately leads to Emily Watson detaining many of them. Coming to investigate, Josh and Summer spectacularly defy her right hand woman Helen McKeen and manage to free all the boys. Hence, Steven realizes that Tower Placement is no longer safe due to the ongoing war. Yet even amid the war, life goes on, and the two become friends thereafter. He finally agrees to teach her better social skills if she will teach him how to better understand technology. Thompson also has Petersen breach Emily Watson’s computer files, only to realize the Pink Depot is abandoned, relaying this news to Steven. Her next assignment is larger — to act as a double agent for Watson herself. Acclaimed business mogul Ritter comes to Provo to give a lecture, much to Steven's unpopular excitement. As classes start to get more intense, he begins opening up to Charles Hugh after his edgy teenage girl crush, Valiera Nelson, had recently tried to hack Petersen's computer.

The Armies of Organa learn about a superweapon called the Bow-Tie and mount an assault with armed ground vehicles, while Thompson, Hogan, Angela Grace, and newcomer Corey Gonzalez realize they'll have to destroy it from the inside, leading to a vicious battle in which Emily inadvertently yet remorselessly brings about the death of Michael Watson, her own brother. Corey sends the Bow-Tie rocketing into space while hundreds evacuate on Summer's behest. Having peered through Emily's personal notes, Helen discovers Emily's endgame is to annihilate the male gender and turns against her, storming Thunder Quarters with fellow defector Denim Spikes and instigating a duel with her former friend, which ends when Helen destroys two support columns, causing Emily's own manor to fall down on top of her. Nearby, Denim attempts to confirm rumors of an Orc Devil and sacrifices himself to send several photos before drowning in acid. Helen spends the next few weeks building weapons for the Armies of Organa, bonding with Steven as he fortifies the mythical Orb and resumes his middle school life. On Valentine's Day, he goes to a party with Josh and Summer while their respective younger siblings — children Jamie Thompson and Joshua Petersen and baby Cade Hogan — have a party of their own, during which time Jamie winds up receiving her Letter of Admittance for Superhero School.

The following month, the Techno Drones, led by a mysterious vigilante, round up the Decemahead and capture them as Emily Watson unites her social contacts in the Utah State Capitol. Realizing a coup could be imminent, Steven Thompson and Helen McKeen recruit Charles Hugh and infiltrate the Red Battlements to rescue the Decemahead members, only for Emily to arrive. She threatens to immolate Cade unless Steven shuts down the guard shafts around the Orb; unwilling to sacrifice the infant, Steven concedes. Reneging on the deal, Watson throws herself at Thompson but is cut off by McKeen and Hugh, who force her to retreat and stop her from finishing merging with the Orb's power. Summer Petersen secretly helps the Decemahead escape in return for the promise to save Cade together, but Valiera Nelson realizes she's a double agent and tries to kill her, only for Angela to protect her. Their clashing blades shatter Valiera's portrait necklace, so she reveals that she and Angela are siblings. Meanwhile, Steven saves Cade from the Lair of Adages beneath Thunder Quarters and meets the seemingly omnipotent Orc Devil, who is fully aware of the Boy-Team's plans and the Dark Lord's potential return. The Decemahead arrives and a vicious showdown ensues. As Helen grimly proclaims that Utah has fallen to Emily Watson, the Orc Devil stumbles out of the manor and flies off towards Pleasant Grove, leaving Steven and the others horror-struck at what they have unleashed.
