After a month of practice, Ender is itching for a battle, even though most armies are given 3 months to prepare.  He gets one, against Carn Carby's Rabbit army.  They go to the battle and see Rabbit army come through their portal quickly.  Ender smiles and enters slowly, knowing that Rabbit army is busy making complex formations and such, while in his army his gives much of the tactical power to his toon leaders.  While he decides what needs to be done, he gives his toon leaders freedom in deciding how to do it, and is pleased when Crazy Tom (C toon leader) is intuitive enough to have his toon freeze their own legs in order to shut off the lights that the suits have when not frozen.

    Right here, Ender is already showing his superiority to Bonzo Madrid, his first commander.  Bonzo would resent anyone in his army for doing something that wasn't his idea, or for coming up with a good idea that wasn't his. Ender uses all the talent that his men posses, he wants them to become great leaders as well as himself.

    It is a quick and furious battle which involves C toon getting caught on an enemy "star" (large boxes floating in the battle room), but when all is said and done, Dragon defeats Rabbit army with only one soldier completely frozen.  While most commanders have to scrounge up people to open the gate at the end of battles, Ender has almost his entire army to choose from.  He unfreezes his army completely, and they march of in a very military and proer manner.  As he is leaving, he sees Carn Carby, Rabbit's commander.  Carby is holding his head up high, showing that he is accepting his defeat graciously.  Ender respects him for it.

    Ender tells them all to be back to practice in 20 minutes.  He tells them to throw food at breakfast to celebrate.
