Digimon Frontier
In times long ago, there was a war between the human and the beast digimons. Then, at one time, an angel digimon named Lucemon and quelled the two factions. However Lucemon soon became corrupted and ruled with tyranny over the Digital World. It was during this time that the 10 Ancient Warriors appeared. They fought against Lucemon and sealed him in the Dark Area, thus freeing the Digital World from his rule. As a result, they lost their lives. But before they completely disappeared, they used their own data to create the Spirits that would be used by the 10 Legendary Warriors. The Spirits were then given to the three Great Angels: Seraphimon had the spirits of Wind, and Light, Ophanimon had the spirits of Flame, Ice, and Thunder and Cherubimon had the spirits of Earth, Wood, Water, Steel, and Darkness.
