Ten Legendary Warriors

The Ancient Warriors are a fictional group from the Digimon anime series Digimon Frontier. These Ancient Warriors were the original Legendary Warriors of the Digital World, and are the group who originally defeated Lucemon prior to the events of Digimon Frontier.

Description
The Ancient Warriors do not actually appear in Digimon Frontier. However, they are mentioned several times in the series as a group of legendary digimon who lived in the Digital World a long time before the events of Digimon Frontier.

The Digital World of Digimon Frontier once had a war between human-form Digimon and beast-form Digimon some time in its past. The war ended when the Angel Digimon Lucemon bought peace between the two groups. However, Lucemon soon became corrupted and ruled with an iron fist over the Digital World. During this time, 10 digimon appeared and fought Lucemon, sealing him away in the center of the Digital World known as the "Dark Area". These were the 10 "Ancient Warriors".

The act of sealing away Lucemon cost these digimon their lives. However, before dying, the 10 used their own data to create a set of Spirits that can be used by Legendary Warriors of the future. The Spirits were placed into the care of the three Celestial Angels - Wind and Light with Seraphimon; Fire, Ice and Thunder with Ophanimon; Earth, Wood, Water, Steel and Darkness with Cherubimon.

These Spirits are used and play an important role in the Digimon Frontier storyline.
