There, it is shown that they are to become Warriors of Virtue.

In Warriors of Virtue, a group of young heroes with supernatural powers embark on a mission to save a fantasy world from an evil villainess. Along the way, they encounter various challenges and obstacles, including karate fights, mythical creatures, and teen angst. With the help of their furry anthropomorphic animal friends and their martial arts skills, these young warriors must protect a sacred manuscript and fulfill their destiny as superheroes.
