== Anime & Manga ==

* Subverted in ''[[UFO Robo Grendizer]]''. In one of the manga versions, ''[[Great Mazinger]]'' [[Big Bad]], Emperor of Darkness, offered ''[[Mazinger Z|Kouji Kabuto]]'' an alliance to fight [[Alien Invasion|the Vegans]]. It was subverted because Kouji refused the offer and [[Big Bad]] King Vega {{spoiler|killed the Emperor to impede that alliance and get ridden of a possible enemy and competitor.}}

** The geth and the ''Reapers'' do this in ''[[Mass Effect 3|3]]''. Having declined an alliance with the "Old Machines" once before, the geth are forced to reconsider after the quarians try to wipe them out for the second time in three centuries. Faced with creators who seemingly refuse to treat them as equals and no help from any other organics, they decide that giving up their free will is preferable to being exterminated. It takes the combined efforts of Shepard, Legion, Tali and Zaal'Koris to get both species out of ''that'' mess intact.

* This is the best way to describe the relationship between ''[[Kane and Lynch]]''. They consistently hate each other throughout the game since Lynch was originally a thug hired by [[The Syndicate]] to watch Kane. [[Hilarity Ensues]] as Lynch's [[Ax Crazy]] nature gets the better of him...

* In ''[[Prototype (video game)|Prototype]]'', [[Armies Are Evil|Blackwatch]] works with Alex Mercer to defend the Bloodtox Pump from the Infected, and there are also side-events scattered around the city that involve fighting with the Marines or Blackwatch to beat the Infected. However, other than these few exceptions, Mercer and the Military are mortal enemies.

* Briefly in both ''[[Uncharted]]'' games.
