Line 11:

Say that the poor [[Distressed Damsel]] is looking her [[Fate Worse Than Death]] dead in the face, and is [[You Can't Fight Fate|resigned]] to it, because she knows that [[Nothing Can Save Us Now]]...and then, ''boom''! The heroes [[Dynamic Entry|kick down the door]] and proceed to [[Curb Stomp Battle|stomp the bad guys into the ground]].

A [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] will often have a [[Misfit Mobilization Moment]] before becoming the Big Damn Heroes. If they were busy with something else, but saw the crisis and dropped whatever they were doing in order to save the day, it's a case of [[Dudley Do Right Stops to Help]].

Compare [[The Cavalry]] (it's the heroes saved in the nick of time), [[Contrived Coincidence]], [[Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work]], [[Villainous Rescue]] (when the villains are like this [[Trope]]).

Line 23:

If the heroes just finished a training arc and show off new powers, it's [[Look What I Can Do Now]].

[[Super Trope]] of [[Roaring Rampage of Rescue]]. Often leads to a [[Hell Yes Moment]].
