Disclaimer: Don't blame me if you don't like some of the language I use or some of the things I do because I got to keep this story moving along also you will see 'I' a lot 'cause this is a story is about what happens if I (Hawk) went to the battle school. I thank honorable Mr. Card for creating such wonderful stories such as Enders Game and Enders Shadow.

Chapter I

"Today was just like every other day. I woke up, got dressed went to breakfast then hit the gym with the rest of my friends for a 'motivational' workout as the teachers put it. Oh, did I mention that I'm not the average person living the average life, well I guess not. My name around here is Hawk; I long ago forgot my real name right after my parent passed I'm sure that the teachers at least have my surname. Where I live now is in a space station getting trained to be a commander with my fellow recruits or as I call them my friends and family, see up here you have no real friends or family except the army they put you with and just my luck I got stuck in Dragon Army which is thought to have a curse on it. Everyday its the same routine accept for when we are put into battles if you can call them that, we are given a toy lazer which freezes the person you shoot it at, I know they cant afford to lose the child prodigies which will someday control whole fleets of people someday. Thankfully, hopefully, the rest of the children here will read this and I urge them to think outside of the box and to do things for themselves not the teachers."

As I pressed enter on the keyboard I knew Ender would want to talk to me ASAP, so I sat back and waited till his note popped up. It read: "Why did you do that? Come to my room now!" My eyes sparkled at this thought as I got up and jogged down the halls to Ender's room with only a few kids sticking their heads out of their barracks to give me sympathetic looks or say rude things about my article. It was only a couple of days after being sent to Dragon Army and already I was living up to my reputation as being a hell raiser, I have been one ever scene I came to this hellhole. A few minutes later I came to the right door and knocked, the door flew open and there was the famous Ender looking like someone just told him he was going to die in an hour, I couldn't help it so I just doubled up laughing at him.

After a stern lecture from Ender, my promising never to do anything like that again, and being put right under Enders control for training and battles I walked to the mess hall to get some chow then hit the showers and the head before I turned in. But as I entered the mess hall I saw that Bean head saved me a seat at an isolated table where only our army's PC's (platoon commanders) sat so got my food and allowed myself to guided to this little meeting where I was positive I would get lectured further. To my surprise all of them congratulated me on writing the article and proving to Ender I had the guts to be trained by him only, which I was informed, they tried to convince him of many times.

Chapter II

The next morning I awoke to see Ender staring at from the foot of my bunk. "What the heck do you thing you are doing!" I yelled as I scrambled to get some clothes on. "Oh, just waiting for your lazy ass to wake up. Now shut up before you wake the whole army up because I need to tell you a few things so your training can start." I felt like a fool because I just stayed where I was looking dumbly at him as if he just told a really dumb joke I didn't get. "Ok, get your flashsuit on and but a robe on over it," he stood and started to stride away "also bring a towel with you and meet me in the hall." I did as instructed and ran out towards the hall, as I passed Bean's bunk I felt his eyes following me and knew he did not approve of this meeting.

All that Ender told me was that he expected me to be perfect; never get hit, know all the positions, give helpful advice, and help others when needed. 'Yah that wont be to hard, I'll probably let him down before noon today' I thought to myself and jogged after him and the Alfa toon for morning workout; the first of five not including my specialized training and pc lessons. At the end of the day I said a little prayer; Lord, if you're there please don't let me screw up to bad and make Ender hate his decision about my training. Also why did you send me here, why did you take my parents away? Why, if not to train me for higher obstacles ahead; hell, oh sorry about that, if you did this to me for some other reason I'm going to go insane! If only .....

(A/N: Some of the following parts sound dumb & abbreviated but I have writers block and it 00:17 so get over it! My sincere thanks to whoever came up with sell check. *Bows down*)

I never got to finish before I saw the screen of my computer light up and a note pop up form Bean, I was going to ignore it till morning if not at all but curiosity got the better of me so I read it:

I bet your wondering why Ender took you under his wing. You still would have been in Rat Army if I hadn't chosen you along with the rest of us for this army, what does this have to do with Ender? I'll give you two guesses, but seeing how your such a genius I bet you figured it out already or the rest of us are in deep shit.

Of course I knew after reading the second sentence, Bean, what did this shrimp want with me? Everyone knew that our scores were equal, but what did he want with me? I quickly wrote to him knowing he would be waiting for an answer.

How did you do it, I can't even get into the teachers accounts. Not that it would do me any good 'cause most hate me, all 'cause my 'rents gave some dumb arguments against the IF.

After that I logged off and fell asleep not even caring that Ender was going to wake me in an hour.
