I see you are readying the blade of Kybu, the ancient blade that can only be unlocked by a 45 minute game of jenga in which no pieces fall to the ground played by a master of Milton Bradley who is powered by a charm spell that only the Mystic Wind Witches of Kubu no and who can only be contacted by means of a magical sea shell which hangs around the neck of the legendary titan who you must have defeated in battle! You are a strong opponent indeed!"
"Uhhhh!"
And so on.
