Ender Wiggin is a ten year old boy living on a planet called Eros, at a place called Command School. In any other case you would have to go through another school and only get here when you are 16 but Ender is an exception. He is the one who will defeat the buggers and save the human race. Ender is still a child but he has never lived the child life like most kids live, he has been isolated from the world and every thing around him that he doesn't even know how to act like a child. He has no friends to talk to his only companion is a man named Colonel Graff who is defiantly not a friend. Graff is only there to teach him the small things he needs to now about the simulators Ender uses to simulate battles against bugger forces. So Ender has been at the the command school for a whole year and he has won almost every battle they through at him and he is adapt at controlling the simulator at any level. Ender asked Graff if the game would get any harder and the next day when he woke there was an old made sitting cross legged on the floor in his room. The Man did not say anything so ender just went on with his day he showered got dressed and went to the door but it was locked. Ender then decided that he wouldn't just waist his day sitting in his room all day so he decided to do some excersises around the room, but one of his exercises came to close to the man still sitting on the floor, the man grabbed enders leg and flipped him to the ground. Ender got up ready to fight but when the old man was still sitting there so peacefully he turned and went to his bed to get his desk but as soon as he turned the old man had him flipped upside down with his face in the ground and his feet in the air. The old man tells him that he is Enders enemy , his teacher stronger and wiser than he, he told him that he choose Ender to be his student. He dropped his feet and Ender's body slammed on the ground he got up and they had a physical battle and the man proved he was stronger and wiser. He then told ender the changes that would be made in the simulator and everything else. When He whent to the door and unlocked it Ender jumped and kicked him square in the back the man fell and got to his feet fooling Ender with his speed and withing seconds Ender was on the floor at the other side of the room with blood rushing out of his face. Then Ender asked "Teacher, do you have a name?" and when the man replied "Mazer Rackham" Ender was amazed. Mazer Rackham was the man who defeated the Buggers in the second invasion and now he was here to train Ender to do the same in the third invasion. Mazer was always with him and when he wasnt there the door was always locked. He showed Ender the way the simulator would work and they studied the old battle tapes from the first and second invasions , they studied bugger tactics and stratigies, and Mazer showed him the top secret video from when Mazer Defeated the buggers. Mazer told Ender the way all the Buggers think as one and how they are like a body and the queen is the brain and it sends messages to the other parts of the body wich are the buggers. He told Ender many things about the buggers about how Eros was once a bugger hive and how they discovered it and how they would have to distroy the bugger home planet to be able to win this time, and to do that he would need to use the Doctor Device. Then the simulator improved and ender did not control only ships anymore he would control a whole fleet and speak commands into a mic. When Ender put on the headset he heard farmilular voices his fleet consisted of the best soldiers he had ever fought with and against is battle school. Every battle Ender would assign squadrum leaders and how ever many ships for each squadrum and he comanded the whole group. The Always won at first. Being the commander Ender learnt there strengths and weakneses of his soldiers he learnt that some could control big groups but couldnt make decisions fast enuf and that some could only control small groups but were always fast to act. As there respect for ender grew as a Comander the Friendship they had at battle school faded away. The fleet started to work faster and better together. Mazer and Ender studied videos of there own defeats and Ender realized that his fleet looked like a buggers they moved as one and were allways fast. Mazer tells Ender the advantages he has and the disadvantages, the advantages are that the bugger mind can only concentrate on a few things at a time and his whole fleet has minds of there own so they can think for them selves as well as taking orders from Ender, the disadvantages are that he will always be outnumbered and the Enemy always learns from him in each battle. Then after Mazer told him that he changed the simulator so that the Enemy was thought and acted like a bugger fleet would. He also told Ender that he was going to try and do what even he could to defeat Ender so he started by making Ender have Battles while he was still barley awake, he won even though he was half awake though. Ender Practised 10 hours a day with his fleet not the whole fleet he gave them time to rest in the after noon. The simulated battles came every 2-3 days wich gave his fleet some rest. Ender Started to become restless and weaker in battles because he could not sleep at night anymore, the buggers were in his dreams he dreamed that the buggers were vivisecting his memories and putting them on hologram for all to see. His Fleet was Tired to one day during a simulated battle Petra one of the strongest soldiers broke down, she didnt come for a few practises and when she came back she was not as strong as she once was. He realized that he could not push his comanders more than they could handle, he decided not to use the same comanders all the time wich ment he had to use ones who he did not trust as much wich put lots of stress on himself. On night Ender woke in the middle of the night like he usually did but this time he had blood filling his mouth and his hand was throbing with pain, he called out to Mazer and he called the doctor. ender started asking about people failing there corse at this point and he told Mazer about his dream about how Bonzo looked dead when he kicked him again. Mazer tried to tell him it was just a dream but Ender didnt want to dream it anymore he was scared he was going to go crazy. He decided never to tell Mazer about his dreams. Ender went into a depression like state that had him only eating when someone were to tell him to eat. Two more of his squadron leader broke like Petra did the stress on the others was huge. Battles lasted hours long and the enemy out numbered them 3 or 4 to 1. No one was having fun any more. One day during practise he broke down too colapsed hit his face on the controls and was very ill for the next 3 days. He kept seeing faces in his dreams but not of real people, he sometimes seen valentine and peter, sometimes his friends from battle school, and other times he saw the buggers vivisecting him, one time he was sure he saw Graff leaned over him talking softly like a kind father, but when he woke he just saw Mazer his enemy. The day he woke up he had a battle he won then whent to bed early. That night in his dreams he thought he felt gental hands of affection touch him and peopl talking one saying that ender has been pushed to far and one saying he has a little farther to go, he thought the voices were Graff and Mazer but then they both said they loved him and he knew it wasnt true, then the voices chaned to Alia and Valentine but they buried him and he became a hill that rotted and became a home for buggers. Then he woke and had a battle won it then whents back to bed and dreamt again and then woke and won and selpt and dreamt and that is all he did. The next day was his last at command school but he didnt know it he woke and showered and got dressed but because Mazer wasnt there he waited for him to come and unlock the door he waited until he got tired of waiting so he tried the door and it was unlocked. He wandered the halls for a while before he went to the simulator room there he found Mazer waiting when he got there he asked Ender if he was awake. There were others in the simulator room Ender only wondered why didnt ask. Mazer told Ender that todays game would need and exoplantion , he explained that today was the final examination and that it was staged around a planet, and was very discret about anything else he said. Ender started to speak into the mic he didnt tell them how important the battle was they just started practising. The simulator field cleared as he waited for the game to apear he thought about what would come in the future, and what would happen if he just failed and lost the battle. The enemy apear they outnumbered him thousand to one, they were grouped in many different formations , shifting and changing. Ender was thinking how they wernt givinging him a chance and as he remeberd the last challenge at battle school Bean remebered to as he said "the enemy's gate is down" Ender remembered how he had egnored the enemy and that is what he was going to do. There was what looked like chaos on the simulator as his fleet members whent this way and that shooting at enemy fighters at random then they came into a formation and were on the other side of the enemy closer to the planet. It was like they were teasing the enemy making it look like they were going to attack but then at the last minute they would retreat. Then he wispered into his head set and they dropped like rocks toward the planet with there little doctors focased on the planet his fighters were begginuing to blow away and then the ship hurtled into the well of gravity , and the surface of the planet burst apart becomeing a spere of bright dust hurtling outward distroying every ship in its path . Ender took off the headset to escape the sound of the squadron leaders cheer to notice that there was just as much noise in this room men in uniform hugging some crying some nelt praying. Ender didnt understand he thought they would be mad. Graff was the first to say anything to him he came with crying eyes and huged him thanked him three times, yhen the other men came and shook his hand and congradulated him. Then Mazer came in and told him that it was all over he was proud of him and that he had beat them, Ender didnt understand he thought he had beat Mazer. Mazer then told him that he never played him it was always the Buggers. Ender left whent to his room and slept he didnt wake until they shook him, Mazer and Graff , he didnt want to talk to them . Ender was mad that he killed all the buggers, now hes just like Peter. They explained to him why it had to be a trick and why he ad to kill them all. Then they told him that he would have to leave Eros becouse people wanted him to lead there armies on earth and would do anything to get there hands on him. Ender didnt want to go anywhere but to sleep. While he selpt a war was going on a war that started becouse of his brother Peter. Ender woke to loud noises out side his room and then he heard small foot steps and reached out and grabed something the thing was Alia tring to to wake him but he did and while they talked the loud noises outside stoped and Bean came in to tell them the war is over and then Dink and Petra came in to and they all embraced eachother.
