[ There will be a small but very determined looking child peering into the amulet for a couple moments before he feels like the thing is "on". ]

Uh... hi.

[ This is working right? ]

I want to get myself a sword here but I don't really know what kind to get.

[ .... ]

So, uh, what's the best kind of sword to have here? Or I guess... what kind do you have if you have one? Even better if you can show me or something.

[ He pauses for a moment to scratch at his cheek. ]

Uh, thanks if you can help?

Uhh.... Hahah... About that...

[...Oh. Right. There's a reason he doesn't really talk about the Z-Sword.]

Dad and I... Kinda broke it in half.

[torankusu]

[ Please excuse the SUDDEN SHOCK that can probably be felt over the connection because...??? ]

What do you mean you broke it?

[gainsaiyan]

[Gohan doesn't feel the shock, if only because his own sheepish embarrassment over the situation meets it and cancels it right out.]

It could cut through boulders like nobody's business! So we tested its strength against the hardest metal in the universe, and... it snapped. Like a twig.

[torankusu]

[ .... ]

That doesn't like a very strong sword then.

[ Seriously. It cuts through boulders but not metal??? ]

[gainsaiyan]

[Trunks, most swords can't even cut boulders.]

No, it really was crazy strong! Seriously! [He will not abide this smacktalking against the Z-Sword.]

Anyway, what was really special about the sword was that it had an old Supreme Kai sealed inside it.

[torankusu]

[ But this is a really strong sword??? Apparently???

But then... uh... ]

An old guy was living inside it?

[gainsaiyan]

Right, and I mean, he was seriously old, millions of years even! Apparently, he was sealed in the sword by a guy way more terrifying than Buu, so that's how you know this Kai's the real deal!

[And someday they'll get to meet that guy.]

[torankusu]

Uh...

[ He doesn't like being reminded of Buu, so. ]

But I mean... he can't be that amazing if you broke his sword, right?

[gainsaiyan]

Well, I mean, that's true, but... [Trunks sure has him there. Except not really.]

--Wait, no! The sword's got nothing to do with his power, okay?!

[torankusu]

Then what's so special about it?
