Line 6: All around the chaotic fighting grinds to a sudden halt as the main event between our hero and the Big Bad gears up. All the fighters stop fighting and come into a circle surrounding the battle as the two main characters [[Circling Monologue\|start circling]], ready at any moment to strike. This moment when everything stops because of the Strike Heard Around the World is the Battle Halting Battle. Everyone stops and puts aside their differences to watch the fight between their leaders.

Mrs. Weasley jumps in to fight Bellatrix and the rest is history... * In the novelization ''[[World of Warcraft]]: Tides of Darkness'', the next-to-last battle between [[The Alliance]] and [[The Horde]] takes place near Blackrock Spire, the [[Our Orcs Are Different\|orc]] stronghold. The Alliance besieges the stronghold, when the orc warchief Orgrim Doomhammer leads a counter-attack. During the battle, he encounters the Alliance supreme commander Lord Anduin Lothar. After Lothar's death, his lieutenant Turalyon [[Take Up My Sword\|picks up his broken sword]] and knocks out Doomhammer. The defeat of their warchief sends the the Horde into a full retreat.
