The Legends of Neo Arcadia
Inspired by the Tales of Rhaplanca from Ar Tonelico II hymns, The Legends of Neo Arcadia is a series of myths and legends set in a fantasy Alternate Universe of the Rockman X and Rockman Zero universes.
Although the Tales of Rhaplanca are, for the most part, one continous story, The Legends of Neo Arcadia are not. Although the setting and characters relatively remain the same (ie - X is always the Prince/King of the Kingdom) and some elements are shared between each legend, they are stand alone stories and you are not required to read them in any particular order.
Titles will give you a hint of which hymn the story contains. You don't need to have any Ar Tonelico knowledge to read the stories either. I did not translate the hymns. I went researching for several different ones and combined what I felt fit my vision the best. A big thanks to all the people I ganked translations from; I mean no disrespect for mixing them with other translations.
This is an ongoing mini-project. Thanks for reading!

Summary: Ragnarok stands to conquer the Kingdom of Neo Arcadia, and as it's ruler, X must make the ultimate sacrifice. But it's Zero who truly pays. /MMZ-verse/
~*~ The Method of Metafalica ~*~
Summary: A man born with the power to destroy the world if he wished, Zero was a man to be feared. But a short time with his Prince changed him from an arrogant bastard to the righteous hero of a Kingdom. /MMZ-verse/
~*~ Hibernation ~*~
Summary: Chosen to be the protector of the world, X gladly does all he can for the humans and Reploids. But those he protects don't always feel the same. /MMX-verse/
~*~ The 1001st Seed ~*~
Summary: He cared little for the Kingdom that was so ready to sin and destroy. But Zero saw the good in them, and in X, and wanted to share with his beloved that same goodness. /MMZ-verse/
~*~ Metafalica's Execution ~*~
Summary: He offered them hope and salvation, but the people were far too gone to care. /MMX-verse/
~*~ Salavec X ~ The Sacrifice of X ~*~
Summary: Their only wish was to be togther forever. Yet the extremists wanted their God of Destruction, who's thirst for blood demanded the sacrifice of the Arcadian Prince. /Inbetween X and Z verses/
~*~ The Song of Hope ~*~
Summary: No matter the struggles, no matter the hardships, Prince X and his beloved Zero always come together. From them so does the hope of the Kingdom, of the world. /MMZ-verse/
~*~ The Heart Speaks ~*~
Summary: Too many legends focused on the bigger picture. Eventually, the people simple want to know of the two heroes deeply involved with not just the world, but each other... How did they meet? How did they come together? And is this a legend, or perhaps true fact for once?
