Toward the Terra (1980)

In a world where normalcy masks hidden abilities and childhood bonds are tested by destiny, Jomy Marcus Shin and Keith Anyan's lives form the riveting narrative of "Toward the Terra." As children, they shared a carefree existence, oblivious to the tumultuous future that awaited them. Yet, their paths diverge dramatically when Jomy discovers his latent psychic abilities, revealing him as one of the Mu - a race of psionic humans deemed outcasts and marked for elimination by the draconian Central Computer, Mother Eliza. This grim discovery plunges Jomy into a whirlwind of danger, until he's rescued by the subterranean society of Mu, led by the enigmatic Soldier Blue. As Jomy immerses himself in the Mu society, he learns of his artificial birth in a space colony and his destiny as Soldier Blue's successor. Rising through the ranks, he becomes one of the most influential leaders of the Mu, fighting for their survival and their inherent right to return to their ancestral home - the Terra. Meanwhile, Keith, blessed with superior intelligence and capability, ascends to leadership within the human race, becoming a formidable force against the Mu. The contrast between their destinies sets the stage for an inevitable clash, as the childhood friends find themselves on opposing sides of a war that could decide the fate of their races. As the Mu strive to unite with the humans and journey toward the Terra, the stakes become perilously high. "Toward the Terra" is a spellbinding tale of friendship, destiny, and the search for home, where the lines between friend and foe blur amidst the backdrop of a cosmic battle. As Jomy and Keith's paths intertwine and diverge, they must confront their past, their future, and their very identities in a world where nothing is as it seems.
