Chapter 22
REUNION
Graff is talking to a commander, telling him that Ender and Bean must be kept separate. Ender knows about the ansible,
but Bean musn't know or else he could destroy IF.
-- -- -- --
Bean and the other group of kids with him have been practicing with the simulator. They command a fleet of ships and
destroy the buggers. As they progress through their knowledge of the simulator, the simulator gets harder. They are given
headsets to communicate with one another, and to give commands orally. However, when Bean's simulator broke, the technician
who fixed it gave Bean clues to why the commands between the simulator and the ships in the simulator were instantaneous.
That night, Bean figured out something he didn't want to. The IF has some sort of device that allows them to communicate across
galaxies, faster than lightspeed. Bean figured out that the ships on his 'simulator' might not be fake ships. They might be
real, and Graff thinks that Bean knows this. While Bean and Graff talk, Graff tells him that he does have parents, and his
brother is Nikolai Delphiki.

Chapter 23
ENDERS GAME
The rest of the group meets Ender again, and the do more simulations, only Bean has figured out that they are real battles
out in space. Their tests got harder, and one day Petra fell asleep during these 'simulations', and her squadron was blown
to bits. As they continued, more and more of their team started breaking up. One fell asleep for three days, another lost
his mind for a day, and Ender is slowly losing control, and Bean notices eveything and tries to do what he can. Every night
Ender had nightmares, affecting his ability to lead. One day, Graff talked to Bean again, who confessed that he knew the ships
they lost were real people, not a simulation. Then finally, their last battle comes. All the bugger forces are grouped around
the center planet, and Bean knows that it is the Bugger Home World. Ender sent all their ships in, through the enemy forces
and strait down to the planet. They destroyed the planet, and all the bugger forces with it. They had won the war with the
buggers!

Chapter 24
HOMECOMING
There was a rebellion with Russians down on Earth, so there was of course a rebellion with the Russians on Eros. The
kids were placed under strict guard for a week, protecting them from the Russians. After the rebellion ended, the other children
were allowed to go and see Ender. He was still shaky, but they were a big and happy group again.
After the war, Bean was allowed to back to Earth and see his family. When he stepped out of the car with his brother,
Nikolai, his mother ran up and was so happy the world lit up. The war was over, Bean met his long lost family, and everyone
got to go home to their families except Ender. Ender went to go colonize the Bugger Home World, and his sister Valentine came
along for the ride. The world was a joyus place during this period.
And so ends the book of Enders Shadow.
