Original subtitles

Soldier Blue, it's you, isn't it?

You like this room.

I was about to send for you.

I have wonderful news for you.

A premonition?

We're approaching a crucial point.

Something powerful is about to alter our future—

Enough!

Don't give me these vague generalities!

What I need is... something more detailed.

Soldier...

How long will we have to hide in these dismal caverns?

When will we finally be able to return to Terra?

Sorry...

I've got a lot on my mind.

You're impatient.

I'm sick of waiting.

How many years have we been hiding in these caves?

I envy you.

Even without sight,

you can still seek out the stars and their beauty beyond the walls of this place.

But... all I see now is the black rock around us.

Soldier... has your telepathy become that weak?

Terra's so far away.

In the current state, it's too far.

Terra's atmosphere was polluted.

The soil was filled with poisons.

Even the ocean, the source of life, was dying.

Eventually, humans realised that they were suffocating the Earth.

Mankind left, letting the earth lie fallow, until\hlife came back to the world naturally.

To prevent it all from happening again,

humans decided that they had to reform their ways.

But then, the Mu began to appear.

It's too soon to go back. The Earth is still healing.

Please try to control yourself.

You are the leader of the Mu.

Physis, show me one more time.

Show me the memory of Terra that your mother passed down to you.

Synch your telepathic waves to mine.

Can you see the galaxy?

Yes... It's beautiful.

It's so bright.

Is that burning flame the sun?

It is.

That's the star that warmed and gave life to the Earth... to Terra.

It's no use. I'll never see it.

It's too far away... I won't live long enough.

I need to find someone to take over for me.

Someone that I can trust with my life, my memories, and...

the future of the Mu.

Ouch... ouch...

The same dream.

Why do I keep having the same dream?

Okay!

Jomy, you better eat soon or you'll be late for school!

Okay!

— Morning, Mum.\N— Good morning.

I had another nightmare. I'm not very hungry.

A nightmare?

It wasn't as vivid as last time.

Breakfast time!

Oh, yes...

Hey, what do you think?

For me?

That's right.

It's my present for your Waking Day, tomorrow.

What's wrong?

A long time ago, children weren't test-tube babies created by Central Control, like we are.

Babies grew inside their mothers' bodies for about 10 months and then they were born.

I read about it in a history book.

What are you talking about?

Modern society has abandoned those irrational methods,

allowing us to live more comfortably.

Didn't your book mention that?

Aren't the modern ways more lonely?

Will you be all right once I'm gone?

Tomorrow is my Waking Day,

and I'll be taking my Adult Evaluation.

That's right. But all children have to grow up eventually.

They have to study hard, and get good grades.

No! I don't want to grow up.

Jomy!

Sometimes people have to do things they don't like.

Society depends on you following your proper course.

But I'll never see you again.

Won't you miss me?

Oh, no! I'm going to be late again!

This is Universal Control.

We're confirming that Citizen AD6223, Jomy Marcus Shin,

will be fourteen tomorrow.

That's right.

His school records show a serious illness.

How is his health at home?

He's... fine.

Hey, Sam!

Morning, Jomy.

Hey! I had the dream again.

The same woman, with the long hair.

Keep your voice down! If Mother hears, they'll send an Esper Interrogator.

Don't worry. It's okay. I'm not a Mu.

He couldn't be a Mu!

The Mu are monsters with telepathic powers.

Yes, I know. But I'm still worried.

Anyway, he'll be fourteen tomorrow.

It's his Waking Day.

After his Adult Evaluation, our job as parents is finished.

I'm sick of boys. Let's get a girl next time.

I don't know where it was, but the room was really comfortable.

A beautiful woman was telling fortunes, and I heard music.

Music?

I think it was a harp.

Anyway, this cool guy comes in, with this really huge cape.

So, was he her boyfriend?

I don't know. Probably.

Jomy, stop talking about that.

In your dream, who else was in the room?

Hey, what are you doing, Sam?!

D-Dammit!

This is Universal Control.

Citizenship Number AD6223, Jomy Marcus Shin,

has exhibited questions and actions critical of the system.

I thought you were acting strange!

I appreciate your concern, but you can go a little overboard sometimes.

You're a nice guy and you're different from other people.

But if you're not careful, you...

Nah, it's fine. I'm me, and you're you.

I'm taking a shortcut. Bye!

Jomy!

That is not a crosswalk!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

— I'm home!\N— Welcome back.

I'm hungry. Is dinner almost ready?

Hey, Mum!

It's done, but we'll wait for your father.

Hey, Mum! Get me something to drink, instead.

Is there any orange juice?

We're from Universal Control.

Control?

We're here about your son.

We just have a few psychological questions.

You needn't worry.

The bedroom's this way, correct?

Start setting up.

This is just routine.

We're only checking for dangerous tendencies.

An Esper Interrogation?

You can't possibly think he's a Mu!

That's for Control to decide.

We're only here to gather data.

We're ready.

Right. Administering the gas.

His school records mention a recurring nightmare.

He's also shown fears of adulthood and loneliness.

This is deviant behaviour. It endangers the system.

Is the water out?

Will he be all right?

It's just a check-up. It won't hurt much.

I assure you, this isn't torture.

Stabilise him.

Here.

So then, I'm off.

Right. Good luck on your one and only Waking Day. Enjoy yourself.

Thank goodness your check-up went okay. It must have been rough.

I'm fine. I'm going now.

Mum, I'll probably never see you again.

Jomy.

I hope you become a good man.

Jomy!

Jomy Marcus Shin's Adult Evaluation will occur presently.

Location, the amusement park.

Medical attention may become necessary.

Current location, the underground roller coaster.

Thank you.

Routing Jomy Marcus Shin.

Now commencing Adult Evaluation.

Welcome, Jomy. I am the computer TERAZ-5.

Do you know where you are?

This planet is not Earth.

That can't be!

It is not necessary to speak.

Converse with your mind. I will read your thoughts telepathically.

To begin with, I will erase all of your memories.

Erase my memories?

Yes.

For easy integration into Earth's perfectly managed society, you will be reborn.

I won't let this happen!

Jomy, don't let go of your memories.

Who are you? Leave us!

Don't let them steal your past!

Leave!

Don't let them destroy you! Fight them!

Voltage is in the danger zone!

Computer output is at maximum!

It's no use! The telepathy is too strong!

It's Soldier!

Soldier?

It must be the leader of the Mu, Soldier Blue!

We've lost contact. Jomy is escaping!

Hurry! Alert the police!

He's a dangerous subversive!

He must be eliminated!

What happened?

"Crying Mouse. Extraterrestrial Specimen."

"The creature possesses slight telepathy,"

"so this barrier has been erected for public safety."

"Do not touch."

Jomy Marcus Shin, you must be exterminated.

Why? Why me?

Orders from Universal Control.

On my signal, jump to the right. I'll help you.

— Get him!\N— Who are you? Who?

Fire!

That leap was incredible.

Your muscle control is truly amazing.

Telepathy? Talk to me out loud!

I'm sorry, but I'm mute.

Where are we going?

Beyond the mountains.

We can't! It's dangerous!

You've already been sentenced to death.

Huh?

Oh, it's you! Might as well join us.

Look closely.

Until now, you thought this was Earth. But this is your planet's true form.

But, what about the other cities?

All lies, designed to control the citizens.

Look out! Get down!

We're damaged. I have to set down.

Set down?

I can't breathe!

Okay. He's fine.

Where am I?

Under the surface of Ataraxia.

Underground?

We're in our spaceship. I'm Captain Harley.

We used psychokinesis to pull your craft down here.

I'm sorry we were so rough.

Carina's our strongest telepath.

Stop it.

Huh? You mean you can read my mind?

Pardon us. Your Mu powers haven't awakened yet.

Mu?

You'll get used to telepathy soon enough.

I'm a Mu?

Yes. I'd like to join Soldier Blue in welcoming you,

Jomy Marcus Shin, as our newest comrade.

I'm no monster like you!

I'm not a Mu!

I'm not a Mu!

I'm not a Mu!

Attention please. Attention please.

The spaceship Ataraxia-D9 is now landing at Uranus Station,

continuing on to Mars.

Those students now disembarking from D9,

should report immediately to the Great Hall on floor B5.

Jomy!

Is that you, Jomy?

Oh, sorry. I mistook you for someone else.

I'm Seki Ray Shiroe.

Congratulations, new students, on passing your Adult Evaluation.

I am the guidance computer for Educational Station E1077.

This station is located less than two light-years from Earth.

Here, you will educated in order to become worthy of returning to Earth.

500 years ago, humanity left its ruined homeworld,

travelling to other worlds while the Earth healed itself.

To make sure that they would never again cause such damage,

the human race re-created itself.

Children are now created using more rational methods.

They are conceived in test-tubes and grown in artificial wombs,

and then raised by randomly chosen parents, to ensure equality.

You have all passed your Adult Evaluation.

I welcome you to Station E1077.

For the next four years on this training station,

you will be integrated into the perfect educational system...

Aren't you listening?

You escaping?

I'm sick of listening. I don't want to be their puppet.

You've got guts to criticise the system.

But don't be an idiot.

What?

The system won't collapse just because you criticise it.

You shouldn't bother with such insignificant actions.

Keith's at the top of the lists!

He's too good. He gives me the creeps.

You know what I heard?

They say that he never makes a mistake!

He receives special instruction from the computer, Mother Eliza.

Mother Eliza, this is Keith Anyan. You called?

Welcome, Keith. I called you here because of your emotional instability.

Do you know the reason why?

Yes. I was angry with a classmate. I started a fight.

That incident is unimportant. Another matter disturbs you more.

Open your mind to me and sleep.

Right.

My purpose is to locate anxieties,

and eliminate them.

Go into a deep sleep.

Deeper.

We Mu are a new race.

The first Mu appeared in the year SD 366.

I'm sick of this. I keep telling you I'm not a Mu.

Humans saw the Mu and their special powers as a threat.

Universal Central killed every Mu,

aside from a small sample they kept for experiments.

Those of us who escaped searched for some place to hide in outer space.

And so we built this ship.

So you're telling me that all humans are cruel and unfeeling?

Exactly.

Do you understand why we have special powers, Jomy?

All of us are lacking in some way.

Lacking?

Yes, like this.

Some of us are blind,

others since the day they were born, can't hear or they are mute.

For example, Leo, the Mu who saved you.

He's unhealthy.

You've already healed, but Leo is still injured.

He probably won't be back to normal for months.

While our bodies weakened, our minds grew stronger.

This mental energy exceeded a normal human's physical power and became telepathic.

But, what we want is our home.

What should I do?

It's all right.

It hurts... It hurts...

Don't cry.

It hurts... It hurts...

It hurts...

You're sorry you called us monsters, aren't you?

And, you're worried.

You don't know what to do now.

Stop reading my mind!

Reading a stranger's thoughts... you're nothing but a filthy thief.

What did you say?! I was only trying to help!

You're really nosy! Just leave me alone!

Hey...

You...

You're a good person.

Huh? That music!

It's Physis.

Physis, this is Jomy Marcus Shin.

You... How many times have I seen you in my dreams?

That's right! And I remember this room.

You were with some guy in a cape.

Yes. Soldier Blue and I have waited years for you to arrive.

Waited?

Yes. We need to add your powers to our group.

I want to meet him.

Soldier Blue...

Jomy Marcus Shin, we finally meet.

I've seen you in my dreams.

I apologise for bringing you here so abruptly,

but they would have erased your mind.

It's okay. I'm glad I've met you all.

I realise that the Mu aren't our enemies, they're our brothers.

I'll let everyone know, once I go back.

Go back?

Yeah. You won't have to live underground anymore.

You can join the normal people.

Jomy, you can't go back.

I can't?

If you go back, Universal Control will eliminate you.

But...

You still don't understand? You're a Mu.

No! I'm...

Just forget it.

I know... you're a human.

But the Mu are human, too.

We're all children of Ataraxia.

The Mu are just a little more sensitive.

Our minds grew strong, to compensate for weak bodies.

That's how we developed our telepathic powers.

But you're different.

You're perfectly healthy, yet you still have psychic powers.

I've sent countless messages of peace to Earth.

But Earth's leaders have decided that the Mu are their enemies.

We were rejected... and those of us they found... they killed.

I'm afraid I don't have much longer to live.

I look young, but I've lived longer than you can imagine.

But my life is at an end.

Blue...

I've waited so long for you.

Now, when I die, my plans will continue.

You will inherit my position and my memories.

Lead the Mu. Become the next Soldier.

No!

No!

No!

Take the memories of your predecessors.

No!

Physis' predictions.

I entrust it all to you, Jomy.

Impact amidships! Origin unknown!

Object heading for the surface!

Soldier Blue! Please respond!

— What's wrong?\N— What's going on?

Soldier!

Soldier...

Soldier, what was that?

That was Jomy. His power is unbelievable!

Don't you get it? His psychic power has finally awakened!

That was him?

Yes. He broke through the barrier,

and he's heading toward the surface at an incredible speed!

But, he doesn't understand what's happening.

If he surfaces, they'll ambush him.

We have to stop him.

But how?

I'll go.

Please don't.

You're too weak. It would be reckless for you, right now.

I know the risk.

Jomy, where are you going?

No! No!

Look at what you're doing!

You did this with your own powers!

This is proof that you're a Mu.

I am?

B... But, now I'm too weak to take you home.

Blue...

Blue!

Blue!

I must leave you now.

I have so much left to do,

but now others will have to carry on that work.

To Jomy Marcus Shin, I leave my mind.

Many of you will be surprised at this decision,

but I ask that you trust me.

All of you, please have faith in Jomy.

Jomy, take off my headphones, please.

So quiet...

There's so much I still have to learn.

But one thing I do know.

Soldier Blue's spirit flows within me.

The Soldier has died, but his spirit and plans live on in us.

We're going to Terra.

To our home, Terra.

All for the sake of a single dream that I see,

that I will selflessly stake my life to pursue

It's the object of my desire, so far away

Shining brightly, so green is the land of my home

Come home, to Terra

Come home, to Terra

The star of love, they call it Terra

Come home, to Terra

Come home, to Terra

The name of this beautiful place is Terra

Terra...

Terra...

3 Years Later

We'll reach Point B in 15 minutes.

Switch to inertial drive and adjust speed.

— Roger!\N— Roger!

Roger!

Okay. That was perfect.

You've gotten so skilled, there's nothing more I can teach you.

Not quite. Ship 6 was slightly off course at Point A.

Why are there magnetic fields way out here?

...Jomy Marcus Shin.

My name is Jomy Marcus Shin.

I lead the Mu, and I have a telepathic message for Earth.

We wish to communicate with the High Council of Earth.

I've never heard of the Mu attacking humans!

We could have crashed if we hadn't switched on the autopilot.

You're right. Your quick reactions saved us.

Sam, are you all right?

It... It's Jomy! It was Jomy!

We grew up together! Jomy Marcus Shin.

He looks exactly like he did when he was fourteen!

He's the leader of the Mu? He was such a nice guy! Why?!

Calm down, Sam. Relax.

It's alive!

Is this how Keith was grown?

Just what I'd expect from an Elite.

Reading up on the Mu?

It's the first time I've ever seen a Mu.

I can't believe that you grew up with the leader of the Mu.

Grew up with him?

How could I know a monster like that?

Sam!

I've never seen him before.

You erased his memories.

That's correct.

Those childhood memories were unnecessary.

I eliminated them.

You're very thorough.

Of course. The Mu are humanity's enemy.

There is no need for anything but hatred toward them.

Then why do you let them be born?

Your question is meaningless. Please clarify.

You control every aspect of this society,

but occasionally, Mu children are born.

Why don't you remove those genes from the test-tube babies?

If the Mu are our enemy,

why do you allow them to be born?

The answer to that question is not present in my circuitry.

The only source with that information is the Mother Computer of Earth,

Grandmother.

Grandmother?

Grandmother?

I think I've just stumbled onto the greatest secret in the Empire.

Shiroe.

An Esper Interrogation, at your age?

I'd heard rumours, but I never believed it could be this bad.

I warned you.

Don't underestimate Mother Eliza.

But I learned something interesting.

The secret of your birth,

Mother Eliza's beloved Elite!

What?

I saw it. The place where you were born.

I finally understand.

You're Mother Eliza's experiment, created on this station.

You never had a home or a mother.

For fourteen years, you grew up in a glass case!

Shut up!

You're Mother Eliza's android!

You hit me!

So you can get angry, after all.

An android who has the human emotion of anger.

I'm sorry.

An Esper Interrogation is nothing next to the trouble you're making.

Will they kill me?

You don't want to die, do you?

I'd rather be dead, than Mother Eliza's puppet.

Why do you hate Mother Eliza so much?

Eliza's just maintaining a system that was developed on Earth.

Is the system everything?

Yes.

Without our perfect management system,

Earth would never have had the chance to heal itself.

And each year, more people are able to return to Earth.

Just the Elite like you.

Do you have a better suggestion?

Would you eliminate the system,

and allow man to destroy the Earth again?

The Esper Interrogation... The Adult Evaluation...

I hate the Adult Evaluation most of all!

I loved my Mother.

I could always smell flowers, whenever she was there.

The Adult Evaluation robbed me of my Mother.

And now, Mother Eliza is stealing my memories of her.

But I'll never forget her.

I'll fight Mother Eliza.

It's impossible.

You're probably right.

But, it's what I have to do.

I understand. That's enough.

Try to get some sleep.

Emergency! Emergency!

I am... I am Jomy!

Jomy Marcus Shin!

I am Jomy Marcus Shin.

I took the Adult Evaluation at fourteen, just like you.

Jomy!

You have passed, but I did not.

But my childhood memories were never erased, as yours were.

Your memories have been stolen.

Try to remember...

It's Mu telepathy!

Remember.

Don't let him control your mind!

You can do it.

Damn!

Was there someone you liked?

Who did you love most?

Your mother, your father?

Maybe a friend.

Stealing a child's memories...

Separating them when they're so young...

A Mu mind attack, over our communications channel!

It's no use.

Can you recognise when things are beautiful?

Keith Anyan, you have responded admirably.

Mother.

Just what I'd expect from one of the Members' Elite. Well done.

Why... Why was I the only one who could move?

As a Members' Elite, you received advanced mental training.

No! It's because I never had any childhood memories!

It's because I'm an android.

Calm down, Keith Anyan. Relax.

You are correct. You are correct.

I'm fine, now, Mother.

Then, Keith Anyan, it's time to work.

Seki Ray Shiroe has escaped.

Shiroe?

You are to eliminate all traitors. That is an order.

Seki Ray Shiroe, please respond.

Reduce speed and alter course immediately.

You're unarmed, but my ship is fully equipped.

I repeat, change course,

or I'll be forced to shoot you down.

Shiroe, why are you heading for Earth?

Even if you could reach it, you can't oppose the system.

A man raised in a glass case would never understand.

Shiroe...

What's wrong?

For a moment, I thought I felt someone's mind in the ether.

It vanished, just as I made contact.

— Who was it?\N— I don't know.

When do we leave for Terra?

There's no rush. Soldier is planning the best approach.

But we've been waiting on this planet for weeks.

Naska's a beautiful world, even if it can't compare to Terra.

There's air and water here.

Why did the humans abandon this colony?

Maybe the humans never appreciated what they had.

Soldier! Where's Soldier?

I'm over here!

Soldier, what are you doing? The meeting's already started.

The elders are getting impatient.

The meeting, huh? Here, look at this. It's incredible.

You just bury the seed, water it, and a plant grows!

We'll have delicious vegetables.

Yeah, you're always talking about this "farming."

I know. It's not something the leader of the Mu should be doing.

I should leave it to the young.

Right?

Let's go.

You were all raised on the ship,

so you don't realise how cruel the humans can be.

Mankind wants to wipe us out of existence.

I know that, but why should we have to fight?

We Mu pride ourselves on being non-violent.

If we stay here, humanity might not feel threatened.

Don't fool yourself! They won't leave us alone!

But we have water here.

There's not much air or light here, but there's enough to live.

That's enough!

Our predecessors were tortured and killed by mankind.

Never forget how much we hate them!

Maybe we should forget the old hatreds.

Soldier!

Going to Terra means terrible war with the humans.

That will only make the hatred stronger.

Could we still offer them our friendship afterwards?

When we came to this planet, I just wanted time to think.

But this planet is distracting me.

We've started farming and living off the land.

There's so much I want to try.

Like what?

For example...

In the olden days, babies were grown inside their mothers' bodies.

Inside their mothers' bodies? That's irrational!

I'm sorry. Forget it.

Wait!

Soldier, when you looked at me just now...

Carina...

You were hoping that I'd agree to this.

You read my mind again.

Soldier.

If that's what you really want,

I'm willing to try!

I'll give birth to a baby!

You...

What are you saying?

What about your asthma? You're already far too weak.

Abusing your body like that would be suicide!

We can't give in to our fears.

Please. I want to do it.

Would you really do it, Carina?

Soldier...

Wonderful! The first natural birth in centuries!

This will send a message to the humans!

After centuries of computer rule, this will wake them up!

We can do it, can't we, Doctor?

Yes.

Carina!

Carina, I grew this tomato. Try it.

It's so beautiful, it would be a shame to eat it.

She's having a baby! Carina's having her baby!

I don't care if you are the Soldier! No men allowed!

But Carina...

Don't worry. It'll be over soon.

Carina, good luck.

Carina!

It's a healthy child. A baby boy.

A boy?

Okay... Let's name him Tony!

Tony? That's a nice name.

Carina, thank you.

5 Years Later

Earth defence base. Earth defence base.

This is Lieutenant Keith Anyan, on final approach.

Roger, SABLE-D.

He destroyed three pirate escorts in less than a minute.

That's why they call him the "Icicle of Death."

He's so young, but he's already a VIP.

There's never a cloud in this artificial sky.

We have homes here, with husbands and wives.

But only the chosen are allowed in.

Children are forbidden.

Life is perfect in this elite city of scholars.

An ideal city filled with flawless people.

But what do these perfect people do with their time?

There's something...

There's something missing!

As always, your performance has deeply impressed me.

I'm honoured, Grandmother.

Still, I detect something troubling you.

More sleep therapy?

No, that's no longer necessary.

You are now a VIP. You should be able to handle this yourself.

No, you must control this yourself.

Of course.

Grandmother, may I ask you another question?

Is it about the Mu?

You are the Mother Computer of Earth.

Why do you allow the Mu to be born?

I cannot remove those genetic elements that allow the Mu to be born.

It's prohibited by Earth law.

Prohibited...

So Earth is intentionally allowing the Mu to be born...

What's wrong?

A prisoner from Mars escaped on a transport ship!

The Esper Interrogators are after him!

An Esper Interrogation?

Who's there? Come out.

Are you the one they're looking for?

Psychokinesis!

Damn! You're a Mu!

I can see why you ran from the Esper Interrogators!

I'm innocent!

No telepathy! Use your voice!

Yes, Sir.

How did you pass the Adult Evaluation?

Or, are you a Mu spy?

I don't know any Mu!

Just suddenly, I could read minds.

What's happening? I don't know what to do!

I never did anything wrong!

They were chasing me, so I got scared and ran.

Get me security.

This is Lieutenant Keith Anyan. I've apprehended your young fugitive.

There's no problem so far. I'm taking responsibility.

But Lieutenant, he's...

This is on my authority as a VIP.

You've saved me! Thank—

Don't sneak up behind me. I'll kill anyone who does.

That's how I'm trained.

What's wrong?

An Earth patrol ship, sir.

I know. How close is it?

They could spot us at any moment.

— Where's the Soldier?\N— We're looking for him.

Okay! Prepare a telepathic defence.

Planet Naska, nothing unusual.

We're heading on to Pesetra Base. Over and out.

Nothing unusual. The same routine.

Yeah.

We've only had three interesting reports in the last three months.

Huh?

W-What's that light?

What?

That's strange, there's nothing on the radar.

We've fixed the computer records from their ship.

Good.

What about the crewmen?

Erase their memories.

Any more telepathy could drive them insane.

We can't let Earth find us.

The computer is always erasing people's memories.

This is no different. It shouldn't bother them.

So we're no different from the Adult Evaluation?

We can't send them back with all their memories.

If Earth finds us now, all our work will be for nothing.

Sam!

Prepare some cruisers.

We'll send out volunteers to create similar incidents and stir things up.

That should draw Earth's attention away. It'll be camouflage mission.

Understood.

We'll release these two, unharmed.

May I speak, Sir?

What is it?

As one of the VIP Elite, I know you're busy,

so why did you volunteer to go investigate this minor incident?

This earring was made from Sam's blood.

Oh, one of the crewmen, from the incident.

It's too bad he went a little crazy.

Sam and I went to the same Educational Station.

He's a friend.

A friend?

But that's not all.

I'm sure the Mu were involved in that incident.

The Mu?

You're a Mu, that's why I saved you.

But, you became a Mu without realizing it,

so I can't gather the data I need.

Without knowing more about the Mu,

I can't figure out what Earth Central is planning.

— We'll make Naska's orbit soon.\N— Good.

Captain, take us in slowly and land at the first opportunity.

You must be joking! There's horrible creatures down there! I refuse!

We're not used to risking our lives like you Members' Elite.

Then prepare a craft for me. I'll go alone.

What if something happens to you?

Don't worry. Wait here in orbit, until I return.

Understand, Captain?

Understood.

Emergency alert! An Earth ship is now in orbit!

Begin preparations.

Combine your telepathic powers.

Show them the illusion, don't let them get close.

It's an illusion! Don't shoot!

Damn it!

I knew the Mu were here! This illusion is proof!

The landing craft has penetrated the telepathic barrier!

What? He's through it?

Soldier's telepathy... It's so strong...

Who are you?

Lieutenant Keith Anyan, Members' Elite, Earth Central Defence.

So you're one of Earth's dogs.

And you're the leader of the Mu, Jomy Marcus Shin.

You have excellent willpower.

I can see your hatred for the Mu is very strong.

Why are you here?

I can't read your mind. You have some sort of mind shield.

Bastard!

You think that thing can stop me?

I'm different from the other Mu.

Try to shoot me.

Damn!

The screen is displaying his mental image of Earth.

Beautiful. So that's Earth.

It's identical to my image.

Who is this man?

The Grandmother computer controls everyone on Earth.

The people live a peaceful life—

Liar!

These thoughts were implanted!

Why can't I read any deeper?

Soldier!

He's controlling his thoughts with the help of some sort of protective shield.

They've conditioned him with false information.

In other words, top secret material is locked away, unable to be read?

Isn't there anything human left inside you?

You'll just destroy his brain that way.

Please, don't torture him.

Physis...

All right.

But at any rate, this man's dangerous.

He's so young, but he's already a VIP.

He might be Earth's next leader.

That's why I have to talk to him!

This is our best chance for peace!

Who are you? Tell me.

How did we come to share memories?

Put your hand on the glass.

They'll kill you if you continue to resist.

I have to get out of here.

But...

How can I get out of here? Where should I go?

Alpha Door.

Alpha Door? And after that?

That blind woman...

As soon as I touched the glass, she was inside my mind.

My mind shield was so tight. What happened?

Besides...

Is it comfortable in here?

A little loud.

But that doesn't stop a telepathic eavesdropper, does it?

No, but you have a mental guard that prevents me from reading your thoughts.

Why?

That's how I'm trained. It's also my duty.

Your duty? To what end? Who are you loyal to?

Have you sold your soul to the computer?

All right.

Look at this.

That's my child.

He was born in the natural manner, out of Carina's body.

A natural birth?

There are six other children who were also born naturally.

This is a human!

The first true human since your SD System was created!

I loved my Mother.

I could always smell flowers, whenever she was there.

That should open your eyes.

It doesn't matter. I know who I am.

Lieutenant Keith Anyan, a VIP Members' Elite.

My duty is to destroy the Mu.

Why are you suppressing your emotions?

Deep down, don't you despise Earth's government?

Shut up! I can't change where I was born...

and I can't change who I am.

The weak humans need someone to lead them.

They need someone like me.

Just as the Mu need you.

Enough talk.

Now, if you're going to kill me, get it over with.

Just one more question.

Why have you denied Earth to us?

Humans against the Mu.

It was probably inevitable.

Inevitable?

We strive for peace,

but we can't deny the forces of history.

So it's fate.

Jomy...

You revealed too much of yourself.

There's blood in your earring. Whose?

You're a romantic.

Why do you have to go?

I'm going. Even a VIP can't just walk back from Naska.

But, you're the only one on the ship who thinks that Lieutenant Keith Anyan is still alive.

Lieutenant Keith is still alive. I'm sure of it.

Dangerous. You're dangerous.

Emergency. A small craft is approaching!

The telepathic barrier is having no effect.

What?

The barrier isn't working? He must be a Mu!

Kill him.

W-Who said that?

Kill him!

Explosion in the lower decks.

What?!

It's the lab.

Keith!

Tony!

Stop!

Tony!

Carina!

My... Tony!

No!! No! No!

No!!

Carina!

Carina!

Carina!

Tony!!

— Tony!!\N— Carina!

Tony!!

Carina! Calm down!

— Tony!!\N— Carina!

Carina!

Tony!!

Carina!

Keith, you won't get away with this!

Oh no!

Physis!

Lieutenant Keith Anyan! Do you read me? Lieutenant!

Makka? Is that you?

Yes, Sir. I'm at position ENN-334.

All right. I've set the ship to explode. Get me out of here.

Mayday. Mayday.

This is patrol craft PE-332, out of Pesetra Base.

I am adrift.

I have one of the Members' Elite on board, number 076223,

Keith Anyan.

You can't get up yet.

Where's Tony?

He's safe. He's in the lab right now.

Carina's dead.

When that man from Earth took her son away,

she lost control of her power.

I sense a rift, forming in this galaxy. It's moving.

I sense three different destinies.

Humans, Mu, and one other...

I can't make out the details.

Soldier, report to the lab.

What's wrong?

It's Tony...

This is Tony?

It was like watching a butterfly's metamorphosis.

He grew by the second.

I grew bigger. I had to.

You need my help.

I can't believe it. You're really Tony!

I don't like you. Leave here.

What are you saying?

This woman killed Carina.

She helped the human escape.

I saw it all.

You traitor!

Tony! No matter what Physis did,

you can't talk to her like that!

You love Physis.

You love her more than you loved my Mother.

I feel sorry for Mum.

Physis!

Let her go.

If you don't hurry, we'll be in trouble.

The humans will be attacking this planet soon.

Lieutenant, you must sit down!

You're too weak, you can't do this. You're being reckless.

That's right.

As a VIP, I order you to leave this room!

This is ME-076223.

Give me a direct link to Grandmother.

Emergency! Emergency transmission!

I have information on the Mu that I must give to Grandmother.

Insert your badge key.

Roger. Emergency frequency now available.

Emergency alert! Emergency alert!

Stand by for direct orders from Earth Central and Grandmother.

They may not be countermanded.

Destination Naska, the sixth planet in the Gitane System.

Set course for Naska.

Within 60 hours, Naska must be completely sterilised.

Arm all missiles for deployment at 06:00 hours.

I repeat...

We've gone through so much to make a home on Naska.

Leaving will be difficult.

After all, Soldier is the one who taught us to love this world.

I've decided.

We don't know when they'll attack. It could be hours, or days.

They might not even come at all.

But Tony has predicted that we will be attacked.

Load all ships. We lift in ten hours.

Launch completed for all ships.

Prepare to warp.

Destination, S757-NP114-P48,

the sixth planet in the Gitane system, Naska.

Begin warp.

What? A third of them?

A third of the young people are planning to hide underground.

They're hoping to escape a surface attack.

A bloody sky.

Soldier. There are several objects approaching at incredible speed!

Missiles!

Maintain course, full speed ahead.

— Can we dodge them?\N— Easily.

The missiles are aimed at Naska.

Wh-What?

Harley, bring the ship around! We have to save Naska!

It's no use. They'll impact Naska in two minutes.

I've got to save them! I'm going. Open the airlock!

Wait, Soldier!

Soldier!

Don't panic!

Everyone! Don't panic!

Soldier! Sold—

This way! Hurry!

What's wrong?

Enemy ships approaching on the port side!

It's an entire fleet!

Scatter the ships.

Naska... Naska...

It's all my fault... All my...

It'll be all right! Just hold on!

Hold on!

We're breached!

Be calm.

It's all right.

I'm here.

Don't worry, we'll win this fight.

It's Tony!

That's Tony's voice!

Bring us about. Thirty degrees to port.

We'll focus our telepathy and create a barrier.

A telepathy barrier!

Soldier... Did you really survive?

Jomy, what happened?

Jomy?

I can't believe he survived the destruction of Naska.

But... the shock left him unable to see, hear, or speak.

His mind has sealed itself off.

No!

No!!

Jomy!

Please listen to me, my friends.

Half of us have died.

We've lost so many...

Since I inherited Soldier Blue's mind, I've been thinking.

I've been trying to determine how we can return to Terra,

without fighting the humans.

But no matter how far we run,

the humans will always hunt us down and kill us.

And now, they've destroyed our beautiful Naska.

We can't wait any longer.

So long as we live, we'll find a way to return to Terra.

Even if...

Even if the planet must be destroyed in the process,

we will return to Terra.

Soldier!

The Soldier will no longer see anyone.

He has sealed his heart and mind.

That's why he can no longer see, speak, or hear.

But from now on, I will speak for him.

The Soldier has only one wish...

We will go to Terra!

To Terra!

Yes, we're going back to Terra.

No matter how many years it takes us, we will get there!

10 Years Later

Ten years have passed...

since that day when the Mu lost 80% of their people.

For the past ten years, Tony has been the leader of the Mu.

They're using guerilla tactics to steal missiles from our bases.

They've formed a huge fleet, and they're headed toward Earth.

You called?

Keith Anyan, I've been waiting for you.

You know of the Mu attacks on the frontier.

Yes. It looks like they're serious.

The Earth must also be serious.

As of today, Earth Central has declared martial law.

You've been selected as the commandant, Keith.

You now command all our defences.

I wish you luck.

Thank you very much. If you'll excuse me.

Keith.

You theorised that a Mu woman was your ovum donor.

This is true. Her name is Physis.

I knew it.

But I still don't understand why the Mu exist.

That same question?

"If the Mu are Earth's enemies, why do you let them be born?"

You should be able to guess the reason.

But no matter how many times you ask me, I cannot tell you the answer.

Right now, your most important problem is the destruction of the Mu.

You will be the first ruler of Earth in this century.

Ruler of Earth?

Yes. Good luck.

Long-range missiles launched. Impact in 1 minute, 27 seconds.

Missiles two, three, and four have been fired.

Continuing the attack.

All right. Launch the fighters.

Aim your telepathy at the core of the missiles.

Locked on target.

Incredible.

And we still have enough energy to maintain the telepathic barrier.

Inbound missiles, port side.

There's also a battleship, range twenty.

Attention all fighters, incoming missiles and battleship at thirty degrees.

The flagship is continuing on to Clavel Base.

Finish up and meet us there.

Roger.

Roger.

The Mu have sent us a telepathic message with their demands.

They say they'll continue the attack unless we talk.

We have to send a reply.

That won't be necessary.

The Mu are the enemies of mankind. There's no reason to talk.

Put together a battalion of VIP pilots.

The telepathic barrier isn't stopping them!

They must be specially trained. All right, use the missiles.

We're on fire!

Get that fire out! Aren't those missiles ready yet?

We need ten more minutes.

Where are our fighters?

It's Tony!

Come around and pass through their centre.

This is a specially trained group of VIPs.

Don't waste your time with telepathy.

Don't let any ships escape. Destroy them all.

Tony.

Why did you kill them all, even those that were retreating? You're too cruel.

This is the will of the Soldier. Don't defy me.

Hold it.

In the end, this mindless cruelty will destroy us all.

You're a coward, Harley.

I'm only fulfilling the Soldier's will.

Jomy, can you hear me?

It's me, Physis.

Please, open your heart.

Please, come back to us.

In their hatred, the Mu and the humans will destroy everyone.

You always taught us to be kind. To love all life.

This is what we should be striving for.

An Earth devoid of love will never be a home for us.

There's been so much hatred.

We'll give them what they deserve.

Arm the missiles.

Roger.

You're going to destroy the station?

Those children haven't done anything wrong!

Missiles armed.

Good. Fire the missiles.

Tony!

Firing missiles.

Wait.

Don't do it.

But...

I still lead the Mu.

I am Jomy Marcus Shin, the leader of the Mu.

You are not our enemy.

Our enemy is the SD System, which stole your lives from you.

Remember back, to your younger days.

Remember the innocence you once knew.

Educational Station E1077 has fallen to the Mu.

The students freely surrendered.

Again?

Soladeia Base has also fallen.

Why do our forces keep surrendering?

Commander, your VIP battalion also failed.

The Mu will reach Earth soon!

We have to stop them!

Commander!

Commander!

I've been thinking.

Have the Mu done anything wrong?

You're right. They failed the Elite Course, but so did we.

We're no different from the Mu.

We're done for! The Mu will kill us all!

What will happen to us?

I don't want to die!

Run for it!

There she is. Earth.

It's beautiful.

Praise God!

Soldier! We've finally arrived at Terra!

May I show it to you?

It's so blue!

Warning! The Mu fleet has reached Earth's defence perimeter.

They're finally here!

The fleet includes a flagship and many stolen Earth sh—

I am Jomy Marcus Shin.

I request a conference.

You must agree to a meeting.

You must agree to a meeting.

This is Earth's Commandant, Keith Anyan.

I accept your offer.

— Commandant!\N— Commander!

We'll meet tomorrow, at 18:00 hours, Earth time.

At the Earth Defence complex.

Tomorrow at 18:00 hours? Confirmed.

Thank you for your decision.

Your mother is one of the Mu, isn't she?

Yes, the Mu woman Physis.

I was born from her ovum.

I wish I could see her again.

Get some sleep.

Earth's fate will be decided tomorrow.

Yes, Sir.

Jomy, I'm coming with you.

It's too dangerous. If they're lying, what will happen to you?

I trust Keith.

Afterwards, I'll invite Keith up to the ship.

Until then, wait for me.

It's been a long time, Jomy.

Forgive me for using telepathy.

I haven't been able to speak since Naska.

I won't apologise. I was doing my duty.

But our fight is over. You Mu have won.

This fight is not yet finished, Keith Anyan.

It's too late.

Our only choice is to open Earth to the Mu.

We've lost, Grandmother.

You're wrong, Keith.

We've fought across whole star systems.

Our fate was decided, long before we were born.

And many lives were lost in our fight.

But Keith... Why were we fighting?

Why have we been killing each other?

It's because of our true enemy...

You!

What are you saying?

Jomy Marcus Shin, leader of the Mu, I sentence you to death!

No!

No!

No!

No...

Jomy!

Come on...

It's better this way.

Terra was meant for living things.

It was never meant for machines.

Let's go.

Education sample number 753306, E1077,

Keith Anyan.

You must kill Jomy Marcus Shin.

Kill him!

Jomy!

Jomy!

Jomy...

Well done, Keith Anyan.

You have served me well.

I do not understand. This is not possible.

Keith, you cannot feel anger toward me.

Grandmother, I cannot forgive you.

Stop it, Keith!

I've always been loyal to you,

but no longer.

This is impossible.

Keith... My systems created you. You were made to obey me!

I know.

You've controlled me since before I was born.

I'm an experiment, an android.

But look.

Don't, Keith!

No!

No!!

Jomy!

I have waited centuries...

to deliver this one message.

I am the computer Terra.

I am directly connected to Grandmother.

When that unit ceased to function, I was activated.

Listen well.

To save Earth from destruction, humanity created the SD System,

to manage every aspect of their lives.

But its creators were afraid of the system's fallibility.

They installed a fail-safe, to create opposing elements.

That was the Mu?

Correct.

By now one of the two sides has won dominion over the Earth.

Who has won?

It's unimportant. The answer does not concern me.

Keith, get out of here!

Keith, you have to go!

No one can order me or control me anymore.

From now on, I'll be the one to decide how I live, and how I die.

All right. Move the injured into the valley.

Hold on, it's just a little farther.

Clean his wounds.

We want to help.

Of course. It's time for humans and Mu to start working together.

There are twenty-five of us.

Already, our powers have surpassed human understanding.

Even if Terra finds peace, we'll become mankind's new enemy.

Ready for lift-off.

All right. Let's go.

Jomy, we were born from your ideals.

And we've followed your ideals ever since.

For now, we'll watch the Mu and the humans from the depths of space.

When they reclaim their true humanity once more,

we'll return to Terra.

Beloved Terra, our homeworld.

It all started with her.

Blue horizon, our blue horizon

All our mornings on this world are truly beautiful

Every living thing is, everywhere, entirely,

filled with the shining light of our skies

Blue horizon, awake once again this world,

to the purity within this planet's entirety

Even though a weary kind of sadness fills your heart,

peacefulness will reawaken now, throughout it all

All we need is love

All we need is love

All we need is love

Now I've come to the understanding,

that at the end of this long and difficult journey,

we've found the planet of love

Blue horizon, you don't need any tears from me

You give yourself to the mornings on this planet

In the sunrise, the earth will sing its song,

of the limitless loving of the rising dawn

All we need is love

All we need is love

All we need is love

Now I've come to the understanding,

that in the far reaches of distant space,

we've found the planet of love

That in the far reaches of distant space,

we've found the planet of love

The End
