So I am looking to see if there is a trope based on a scene I saw in a couple of video games where the hero has defeated and knocked down a seeming enemy (such as when said enemy is a friend/ally trying to help you though they did it in the wrong way), and they are about to finish off/kill said enemy/ally when another character comes in and tries to stop them from killing them by saying they are actually on their side or that if they kill them then they are no better than the enemy/ally.
One example is Mr Ribbs from Grabbed By The Ghoulies he nicks an egg you have found that is to be taken to Ma Soupswill, and you/Cooper chase him through the mansion and eventually into the kitchen when Cooper manages to engage and defeat Mr Ribbs in battle and gets the egg back but enraged by being harrassed by and having to chase Mr Ribbs, Cooper punches Mr Ribbs in the face knocking him down and is about to finish him off when Ma Soupswill comes in and stops Cooper by explaining that Mr Ribbs is her assistant and that she asked Mr Ribbs to help Cooper by getting the egg.
Anybody know if thats a thing, oh and heres a video link to show what Im talking about go to 35:38 of the video to see the exact part.
