Leet speaking upside down?
Tarbtano, you are such a troll
STOP IT!!!
Mah brainz! Deh huuuuurtz!
I can just imagine Tarb spinning around in his chair, laughing his ass off and saying, "ASK ME WHAT IT MEANS! ASK ME WHAT IT MEANS!"
I thought that the silhouette in this and the second pic looked Equine. I'm starting to think that it's referring to Jr, but it could also be something that will take many of us by surprise.
I'm reasonably sure that's Monster X in the grey side. The shape in the gold, though... muzzle's a fair bit too short for a Ghidora. Definetly vertebrete; a reptilian, or posibly feline from the jaw shape. Definetly not equine. Frankly, my first thought is the 2014 version of Godzilla (the Legendary Pictures version.)
Since I don't speak or read "leet", I'll wait for a translation from somewone who does.
Here's the leet translation.

anyone know what this code is?

The text is put in leet speak, upside down, and flipped over.
It's confirmed, Tarbtano isn't just a troll from the future, but a hellspawn.
I'll get working on figuring out what the hell it says.
Silver lining? Least its confirmed that blob in the last picture was a siren, judging from the clear outline here.
2909409
That silhouette is definetly equine in nature; a varient of the Hippocamp no doubt. In setting, that would be a Siren or a Seapony. Since we have never seen a Seapony in this story, but have delt with Sirens, it's pretty clear what that image should be.
2909435 I'd hunt him down and split his skull, but that would mean no more stories, and he know's this.
Quick observation about the comet; it seems not only to be more briliant, but I think it's visably moved a bit. From the tail relitive to the direction of motion, it's definately moving in-system, in the general direction of the local star.
Exactly like when Monster X traveled by comet to Earth in Final War.
I think by now we have X pretty much locked in as a major player in the next arc...
... unless of course this is all a big fake out, in which case I would suspect the author's maternal figure to be related to Winnoa...
2909462
On April Fool's Day maybe, but not even I'm that cruel. Also, this is the most clever insult I've ever seen and I laughed nonstop for several minutes.
2909439
Come at me bro, I use Deathwing as my flight mount and Gorehowl for twink gear
2909398
MWAHAHAHAHA!
2909478 When you least expect pal, when you least expect it.
2909436 It is a siren, the shapes are exactly the same.
Holy crap, so I was right about the Siren thing? And those shapes in the corners are definitely Kaiser Ghidorah and X.
That leetspeak... (Translations I don't know/am not sure of are in brackets)
"Everything is black and gray, who [dl uoi oook] too?"
"Mercy"
"Homesickness"
"Extinction"
"Conquest"
"Hatred"
"drachen's wrath, rulsaka's greed, yokai hunting both..."
"Drachen" is german for "Dragon", a "rusalka" is a water nymph, and a "yokai" is a monster or spirit from classical japanese mythology. X is the dragon, Aria is the rusalka... but who's the yokai? Hmm... *goes to check the cast list*
Hmm... the only one I can think of that's directly inspired by a classical Japanese mythical creature is Caesar (for the folks in the cheap seats, he's based on a shisa), but he's probably still chilling out in neighpon at the moment. Plus, I can understand him hunting Monster X, since X is on the villain's side, but Aria? That wouldn't make any sense. I want to say Bagan, but that seems a little too simplistic. Plus, why would he hunt X, who's working for him?
2909715
Hehehe, noted but some folks seem to have figured it out. I'll felt like screwing around and having some fun making this difficult (though I apologize if its stressful). Since some have figured it out, I'll post it now right side up to make it a bit more legible.
drachen's wrath, rusalka's greed; yokai hunting both....
\\ hatred
\\\ conquest
ll extinction
/// homesickness
// mercy
everything is black and gray, who do you look too?
Drachen means dragon in German, a reference to Keizer Ghidorah and his rage. Rusalka is a slavic water nymph, a reference a siren and their greedy need for power, both are being hunted by a yokai, some supernatural monster from Japanese folklore. Question is, who's the yokai?
2909807
You're a tad late with that deduction, buddy. ^_^
looks like you got Peter Benchly's creature silhouette on the left side with the yellow while the one on the right looks familiar but I can't place it
2909816 I didn't see you post when I made that, also given this I think the Yokai is Bagan, given that the name Enjin was used earlier, and that the name of one Bagan's three forms. But if he is hunting aria and x, does that I can guess at two different scenarios,
1. Aria manages to acuire enough power to draw x in and also bagan.
2. X goes rouge along with Aria.
2909826 It's Monster X, has to be.
2909836 or it could be the water monster reference
2909844 No I recognize the right one, it's definitely X, it's the left I'm not sure about. Also I'm pretty sure that the water monster is a siren, namely Aria.
2909834
Worry not, I was just joshing ya. ^_^
Anyways, my question is how exactly Aria is going to be involved. If she actually appears in Equestria in Siren form, I have no idea how that'll be reconciled with Rainbow Rocks. Though I suppose X could hide out in the human world and run into her.
2909857 If X does hide in the human world, it would explain why he is being hunted.
2909868
Indeed, and Aria would be hunted for the same reason that she and X fought in the first place.
...I wonder if Siren magic can empower Kaiju. Could we be looking at a full-sized Kaiju fight in the EqG verse?
Really off idea? It seems that a reoccuring line in these messages is 'hunting' and 'running'. So somebody is tracking down somebody who's possibly hunting somebody else? Teaser 2 alludes to a 'Sea dweller' hunting down something in a quest for power, while something is also stalking it. Well that 'Sea Dweller' and 'rusalka' seem to be one of the sirens, Aria judging from the color schemes. And keep in mind that shipper aside, neither X nor Aria are anywhere close to being allies (only thing that kept him from killing her was uncertainty if it would make the necklace worthless).
So what if we get a three way melee conflict?
Basically, something is going after both X and Aria for probably various reasons, while those two might also be going at each other and NO I do NOT mean that to sound shippy. ANYWAY, X seems to be having a tough time with his darker side trying to break out. Maybe he'd still be putting out a mix of negative emotions and energy, something that would draw the sirens in. Got no clue if this means X is going to be back in Equestria and somehow the sirens get their too (unless he somehow ends up in the past like Caesar) or if he's going back to the human world. Idk
I think I need sleep
2909855 oh you were talking about the one on the right sorry my bad, yeah you definitely might be right.
2909785 how did u translate that chicken scratch? i tried and it just came out gibberish...
The silhouette hidden in the yellow part is Kaiser Ghidorah. No question. In fact, I think I know the exact picture that's silhouetted:
http://pyrus-leonidas.deviantart.com/art/Keizer-Ghidorah-510844355
Line up that image with the silhouette, folks. I think you'll find that they're identical.
2909877 If were lucky, I just hope that Iryis will be there too if that is the case. The look on Sunset's face would be priceless.
2909973
I sure hope so. That would be all kinds of incredible. It'd also be fun if Irys was also somehow able to learn Sunset's true nature. Two of the unlikeliest friends in all of fiction discover just how unlikely their friendship is! ^_^
2909946 The horns I think should be more visible, but from that picture, you might be right.
2909984 The friendship between a former unicron prodigy that became a monster in her quest for power, and another who is a monster trying rid herself of the thing that makes her so. Why isn't this mainstream, or has it's own show. A comic book at the very least.
2909989
The horns are exactly as visible as they can be. Due to the nature of silhouettes, those fins on KG's head hide most of the horns, but you can still see the tips of several of them. See those two vertical, parallel spikes at the top of the silhouette?
2909910 Tarb reversed it at first because he an offshoot of the devil, but the minute he put it right side up, I used a leet translator to decipher it.
2910008 Yeah I see what you mean, I was at first comparing it to the actual TOHO suit, and found that the horns were more, jagged and pointy. But what you brought up could just be the art style choice.
2910012
I translated it by myself while it was still upside-down and reversed. >_>
2910024 Yeah, yeah keep talking.
You speak of leet yet this hurts my noggin! Where's Section 8 when you need him?!
You're just LOVING this, aren't ya? I'll give it to you, creative as hell but damn this teasing. It's like hanging a treat on a treadmill for a fat cat to try and get. I'm the fat cat while everyone else is being smart and hanging on the side of treadmill, going for it while I'm just going in place.
I'm just gonna go and wait across the street until release. Seriously though, can't wait to see how this arc plays out. From the looks of it, this'll be a whammy. Maybe.
2910156
Given which characters are involved, I have a hard time imagining how this couldn't be a whammy.
Major props to the brave men and women in this thread who have spent time trying to decipher this cryptic puzzle. Collectively I feel you guys are on the verge of a major breakthrough that would make John Nash blush.
2910295
Pat yourself on your backs folks, I'm proud of you guys and gals
Okay...I see X on the right and...and...I'm guessing Keizer and the left. For the creature in the water, ya stumped me.
Props to you brotha for doing an awesome brain teaser that literally had me thinking for hours. I can tell your gonna do something huge in the story since you've uploaded three of these now. Some BIG event is coming, I can feel it...in my belly!
(Get the reference?
)
I'm only about 75% sure, but I think I have the meanings of the text portions figured out.
The first teaser seems to say that Monster X will attempt to defect due to an extencential crisis; likely his transformation into Kaiser Ghidorah.
The second tells me a Siren (posibly Aria) will seek out something to gain power that will hunt her in turn.
The third indecated both are hunted by something demonic, and lists motivations amongst the three that will be apparent durring the arc. Since extinction is listed as a motivation, the hunter is likely to have been dispatched by Bagon, and may even be one of his sub-forms (Einjin most likely, as that one is mentioned by name.)
Also, having now seen an artist's rendition of what Kaiser Ghidorah would look like in setting, I agree that the image in the gold field would be him. The much shorter muzzle threw me off.
Am I missing anything?
Also, I suspect the Mirror!verse clues were either an indecation of where this will occur with the regular versions of the characters being involved, or was a Clupea harengus. In which case, we shold probably rout comments to the author through his Uncle Snoopy.
2910458
The creature in the water is a Siren. As in, Aria Blaze's true form.

Well now I can't wait for the actual chapter. I'm sorry, I know that it gets annoying, but how close is the next chapter to release?
2911087
Soon. The proofing the typing is all done, just waiting on some of the illustrations. Should release sometime this week
2911178 How many arcs are planned for the story? Because I think this is the third one?
