### Ars Bestiae

* **Pre-Percute Ultimum strike:** Spinning rapier thrust

Pierre slashes his opponent once horizontally, once vertically, and twice diagonally. Afterwards, in preparation for one final, heavy blow, he holds his rapier at ¾ of arm's reach for 3 seconds and declares, "*Es-tu prêt pour ce?*" ("Are you prepared for this?"), then performs a spinning rapier thrust, turning into his horse form as he does so, with said thrust becoming a powerful back-kick that explodes the losing combatant into six cut-up pieces. Once the Percute Ultimum is finished, Pierre changes back to human form and spins his rapier in front of him once before planting it into the arena floor.

## Storyline

### Bellum Bestiae

#### Prologue

Pierre Beaumont is the son of Maurice Beaumont, a retired *gendarme* of King Louis XI, also known as "Louis the Prudent," and his wife, Gisèle. Ten years ago, when he was but 18, Pierre trained so hard in the art of the rapier that his father allowed him to be recruited by the "Father of the People," King Louis XII, into his *gendarme* army, much to the envy of his inferior older sister, Charlotte.

Some time later, the horse spirit, Equus, recognized his potential as a member of his king's military forces and entered his body, and Pierre became his physical host from that point on. Now, in 1501, Pierre has received an order from his king to seek out Damoclus and defend France and all other lands from his demonic forces.

#### Ending

As ordered by his king, Pierre, not one to allow Damoclus to get the better of him, effortlessly vanquished the malevolent demon lord and saved not only France, but also all other lands, from a most unfortunate fate. Upon Pierre's return to his castle, both King Louis XII and his wife, Anne of Brittany, were very proud of him for his heroic deed.

However, France did not remain safe from outside threats for long, for the *gendarme*'s king informed him of another threat to France: his own sister, who, shunned by their parents, who instead favored Pierre, had defected to piracy, for she was infuriated about being disallowed to serve in Louis XII's military forces. Dismayed at her decision, the younger sibling of the two challenged her to a duel to determine whether he was still the favorite child of the Beaumont family.

## Sequences

### Bellum Bestiae

* **Intro Sequence**: Pierre runs into the battlefield in his horse form, then shape-shifts back into his human form and swings his rapier twice and twirls once, declaring, "*En garde*! *C'est pour le roi et le pays*!" ("On your guard! This is for king and country!"), before going into his fighting stance.
* **Round Win Sequence**: Pierre spins his rapier in front of him twice and plants it into the arena floor, saying, "Next time, drop not your guard.", before pulling it out and going into his fighting stance again.
* **Outro Sequence**: Pierre does three rapier thrusts at different angles, with the third, middle one being longer than the first two, saying, "*Les gendarmes* never lose...", then twirls and points his sword towards his defeated and off-screen opponent, saying, "Which you did for challenging one!"
