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. In Japan, the group is known as the Ten Warriors (『十闘士』).

Digimon Frontier
The Ancient Warriors do not actually appear in Digimon Frontier except for the flashback in the episode with Baromon. 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 brought 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.

Island of the Lost Digimon
Island of Lost Digimon is the 7th Digimon movie. In this movie, it is revealed that AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon once fought against another evil Digimon named Onismon and sealed it away on a traveling island. When Onismon was re-awakened by Murmuxmon, the two ancient Warriors appeared once again to destroy Onismon, this time for good.

Members of the Ancient Warriors
There is a total of 10 Ancient Warriors, each representing one of the 10 elements of the Digital World. These digimon are distinguished by the word "Ancient" in their name.
