The Dozen is a group of the current generation of Twelve Protectors. Nature gave them special abilities at birth. Abilities with which Protectors protect the world from a mysterious evil that can tear the fabric of space and time, thereby bringing the end of the world closer. But don't worry. The Dozen became a strong team and protected our world from mysterious evil. At least for a few years or even centuries. Nature has given each of them the ability to control one of the Four Elements. Serious Agnes Flame, passionate Salma Cortez and cheerful Roman Newton can control the Fire. Dreamy Angelica Fly, gloomy Jason Humble and reliable Scott Wind can control the Air. Caring Ashley Fauna, straight Chester Capa and sensitive Sarah Wave can control the Water. And brave Vanessa Smith, narcissistic Paul Connolly and friendly Sasha Terra can control the Earth. In the past that they once forgot, in the past that they finally remembered, The Dozen met together in a mysterious institution called the School of the Four Elements to learn how to control their abilities and become one team. And that team saved us all. Long live Twelve Protectors! Long live the Dozen!
