In the year 2218 Japanese scientist Dr. Kazushi Nikken head of the MAPPO Corporation has found a way to merge human and animal DNA together to create human/animal hybrids known as Elephhantmen at their top secret headquarters in the North Africa desert. Troops from MAPPO later kidnap local women who have the Elephantmen embryos implanted in their wombs and once the Elephantmen are born the women are disposed off, the children are then branded as property of MAPPO.

During the Elephantmen's childhood they are trained to be soldiers and killers and are indoctrinated with an Orwellian mindset to think of themselves as property of the MAPPO Corporation and to deny any concept of free thought. However the United Nations discover the experiments and send in the army to raid the facility and liberate the Elephantmen and in after the battle discover the mass grave where their mothers have being buried. Once they have being liberated the Elephantmen are sent out into the world with jobs assigned to them by the government, however the Elephantmen are treated as outcasts and with distrust and horror by humans although some see them as equals.
