Line 7:

A specific kind of [[Heroic Sacrifice]].

Things are looking real bad for Our Heroes. [[Ultimate Evil]] has run amok, civilization is crumbling around them, and an endless army of monsters is hot on their heels, with the [[Hero-Killer]] leading the charge. Things are looking truly grim, when one character (sometimes two), usually one of [[The Obi-Wan|the older]] [[The Big Guy|or stronger ones]], falls ~~behind -- possibly~~ [[More Hero Than Thou|insisting that the others go on]]. In order to allow the other heroes to escape/reach their destination/BringNewsBack, this character singlehandedly holds back the enemy horde, often losing their life in the process. Just as often, however, they get a [[Disney Death]], either being resurrected through [[Applied Phlebotinum]], or showing up much later, having [[Unexplained Recovery|miraculously survived]] when [[No One Could Survive That]]. If shown on-screen, it could actually be used to improve the odds, thanks to the Law of [[Conservation of Ninjitsu]]. In cases were the person ''does'' succeed and stop the enemy forces and survive, it's normally a good sign they're just that ''[[Badass]]''.

In extreme cases, where they ''must'' [[Bring News Back]], one character gets sent on and everyone else stays to give him time to escape.
