And, the climber flings himself over the edge of a cliff/ beast, swipes a sword (which he must have had in like some covert pocket as DBSF could never understand how the climber could carry such a large--and likely heavy--weapon through such a strenuous and vertically demanding journey), the beast collapses, the screen goes white, and the climber transforms into a stone-jawed Marine.

Except here the puppy just gets up, and, gravitationally speaking, at least, doesn't look to steady and, thus, likely collapses again into a state of infinite back-rolling and uncertainty. Perhaps the puppy just needed a sword.
