The good guys are on their way to kill the [[Big Bad]] or rescue the [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]], but they only make it so far before a bad guy pops up and gives them the old [[You Shall Not Pass]]. Inevitably, one of the team will step up and say, "You guys go on ahead. I'll take care of this guy." He then stays behind to fight the villain while the rest of the group moves on.
 
Often, [[Plot Tailored to the Party|this process will repeat itself]] until only one team member is left… and he has to face the [[Big Bad]] ''[[In the End You Are on Your Own|alone]]''! ...[[Battle Royale With Cheese|Or not.]]

* [[Older Than Radio]] example combined with [[Rule of Three]] in ''[[The Three Musketeers (novel)|The Three Musketeers]]'': when d'Artagnan and his friends are in secret mission to London, the Cardinal's agents try three times to ambush or derail them in different ways. Each time one of the musketeers is left behind taking care of the enemies while the rest carry on, until at the end d'Artagnan is the only one who arrives to London.
* ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone|Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone]]'': Ron takes charge of {{spoiler|the chess game and sacrifices himself}}, Hermione solves {{spoiler|the potion riddle}}, leaving Harry to deal with {{spoiler|the Mirror and Voldemort}}.
** Which doesn't translate so well into the film where the potion scene doesn't happen, and Hermione leaves... just because.
