** Much later in the series, [[spoiler:during the final battle against Eren and the past Titan shifters, the Alliance is on the verge of defeat. Pieck is skewered in place by Lara Tybur's Warhammer Titan, while Armin is trapped in Okapi Titan's mouth. Connie and Jean are both hanging by a single tether, only barely stopping Levi and Reiner respectively from falling to their deaths. Just when Mikasa gathers the strength to continue the fight alone, Annie and Gabi fly in on Falco's Jaw Titan, saving the dangling soldiers and joining the battle.]]

** ''Literature/StormFront'', Morgan walks into the end of the climatic fight and swings his sword toward Harry, who is falling unconscious. He regains consciousness to find Morgan administering [[CleanPrettyReliable CPR]]; Harry had, after all, saved himself from falling into a maelstrom of magic by chaining himself to a burning building, and Morgan had to get him free somehow.

* ''Film/TheThreeMusketeers1993'': At the end, the heroes are confronted by the [[TerribleTrio goons]] that have been pursuing D'Artagnan throughout the movie. Suddenly the goons' leader screams like a girl and the goons turn and run away. [[ScaredOfWhatsBehindYou The heroes think they scared the goons away when suddenly the entire Musketeer Corps appears from behind the heroes, chasing after the goons]]. The goons could see them coming but the heroes couldn't. Possibly more a parody than a real The Cavalry moment, since the Four Musketeers are more than capable of handling SissyVillain Gerard & his brothers. However, it thoroughly emphasizes the '''"All for one"''' part of the Musketeer creed.
** A more straight-forward example happens during the climax when it's just the three main Musketeers against an entire army of Cardinal Guard, only for a large number of men who'd been standing in the background to cast off their cloaks and reveal themselves to be the rest of the Musketeers and charge the Cardinal Guard.
