Takuto Kaneshiro verliert bei einem Labor-Unfall mit einem mysteriösen Wesen alles - die Arbeit, seine Freundin, und wenn nicht sein Leben, dann doch seine Identität. Ab jetzt ist er der Pilot Ryu Soma und Mitglied einer Spezialeinheit, die andere mysteriöse Wesen daran hindern soll, einen bestimmten Ort auf der Erde zu erreichen, den sie alle aus einem unbekannten Grund anstreben. Dabei soll er ausgerechnet mit dem Wesen aus seinem Labor zusammenarbeiten, das er für den Tod seiner Freundin verantwortlich macht ...

In the year 2059, the earth has been plagued by aliens for several years. In an effort to learn more about these aliens, Dr. Noguchi and his assistants Maki Agata and Tukuto Kenishiro try to revive the professor's experiment, a large Bio-Mechanical alien named Frank. During this process the alien comes to 'life' and the lab is subsequently destroyed leaving Takuto the only survivor and the alien disappearing into the wilderness. While Frank roams the wilderness he meets Hattie, an emotionally distressed young girl whose parents are killed in the first 'close encounter' war. Oddly enough she is able to communicate with Frank and soon after they are taken into custody by a secret agency known only as 'Funeral'. Meanwhile, Takuto wakes up in a hospital bed with his life in shambles, and his face disfigured. Motivated by vengeance and heart break, Takuto accepts an offer from the mysterious 'Mr. X' and receives a new identity as a ranking Funeral officer named Ryu Soma.
