This is any fight where there are at least three sides involved (i.e., against each other), with no prearranged alliances. We can be talking individuals or armies, although the version with the individuals is usually more fun since the army one often degenerates fast into a free for all. Often noted by directors and fight coordinators as being very difficult to set up or film properly, although often worth it for the aforementioned fun if they manage to pull it off right. Almost always begins as a Mexican Standoff as the various sides try to figure out who to shoot or stab or fireball first. Things get particularly fun if you have several guys with a gun in each hand, each trying to keep aim on the other two targets simultaneously. Expect a lot of sweating, twitching, and flicking eyes until the inevitable happens. This trope calls for no prearranged alliances, because then it's not really three-sided — unless there are so many sides involved that even taking prearranged alliances into account, there are still at least three sides! However, it is fairly common that after a short amount of fighting, two of the sides will accidentally or on purpose end up ganging up on the third, often with an unspoken agreement to finish dealing with each other once the third side is out of the way. As a general rule, at the very least two of the sides will have to be in an Evil Versus Evil scenario and at the very most everyone involved. Often enough, this alliance will be helped along when the third side assumes that all its foes are on the same side. Alternatively, if neither side can win the battle on their own, the outcome depends entirely on whom the weakest of the three will ally themselves with, resulting in the Kingmaker Scenario. As another alternative, a particularly devious side may manipulate the others into Let's You and Him Fight, then go after whoever is left. In a video game, especially a First-Person Shooter, 99% of the time the three sides will consist of the player and any allies vs. enemy soldiers vs. some sort of mutants/aliens/zombies. The trope name comes from the French phrase "Ménage à trois", which basically means a threesome. Who knows if that's connected to what this trope means. No real relation to Super Smash Bros. Melee, although that trope appears quite prominently in that series as a whole. Compare Gambit Pileup, which is like this trope but with gambits instead of fights. Can be a result of Colliding Criminal Conspiracies. |

A few of the battles in Sengoku Basara also involves this. The second game has one in which Keiji butts in on the Betrayal at Honnouji and ends up in a battle between Nobunaga and Mitsuhide (all for the reason of just saying hi to Nobunaga) and one where characters crash a battle between Kenshin and Shingen. The third has certain campaigns ending with the characters intruding in on the Battle of Sekigahara and wiping out both Ieyasu and Mitsunari's army. | |

The Battle of Artaleirh in Rihannsu: The Empty Chair by Diane Duane begins with Romulan rebels, with the aid of the USS Enterprise and the renegade Romulan cruiser ChR Bloodwing, fighting a pacification force sent by the Star Empire's government. Then the Klingons show up hoping to take out the winner and get the system cheap; they finish off the Imperial ships in passing and then start on the Free Rihannsu. Fortunately, that's when Tyrava Ship-Clan turns up as The Cavalry for the Free Rihannsu. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW): During the Battle for the Empire saga, it was Sonic, Tails and Belle vs. Dr. Starline, Surge and Kit vs. Dr. Eggman and Metal Sonic; with Surge and Kit planning to betray Starline and kill him along with the rest after the battle. The battle ended with Dr. Starline's death, concluding his arc in the comic. In the Bad Guys miniseries, after when Dr. Starline manages to create a Villain Team-Up, only to have his plan to pull a You Have Outlived Your Usefulness exposed by Zavok and Mimic in the midst of their raid of one of Dr Eggman's bases, it is Dr. Starline vs. Zavok, Mimic, Rough and Tumble vs. Dr Eggman and his badnik forces. |

Star Trek Online: The mission "Skirmish" opens up with one of these between Starfleet, the Klingon Defense Force, and the True Way (The Remnant of the old Cardassian military dictatorship). You learn later there's a fourth side, Devidians preying on ships in the area, including the True Way. Upon arrival at the Preserver outpost world, the player finds several Breen and Jem'Hadar ships fighting for control of whatever's on the surface. The player's crewmates encourage them to attack while both are distracted. On a macro scale, the conflict between the Voth, the Alpha Quadrant powers, and the Borg, shown in Dyson Reputation cutscenes and spoken of in the dev blogs. The Voth are fighting the Borg in their home space, as is the Alpha Quadrant, but the Voth are fighting the Alpha Quadrant for control of the Dyson spheres. Then Delta Rising adds the Vaadwaur to the mix, who are at war with the Voth, Borg, and the Alliance. Then the Vaadwaur have an Enemy Civil War 2/3 of the way into Delta Rising and one side allies with the Alliance. "A Step Between Stars" is initially just between the Voth and the Dyson alliance. Then the Undine blast their way into the Jenolan Dyson sphere and wipe out what's left of the Voth fleet before engaging the Dyson alliance. In Delta Rising's "Borg Disconnected" STF, what starts as an effort to rescue Borg drones liberated after "Hive: Onslaught" from re-assimilation turns into a Mêlée à Quatre between the players and Borg Cooperative, the Borg Collective, the Undine, and the Voth. |

The J-WITCH Series: In "J-WITCH Meets The J-Team!", the Auction of Evil that Valmont is hosting breaks down into a brawl between all of the attendees over the stolen Heart of Kandrakar, even before the J-Team and Guardians get involved to retrieve it. In "Divide and Conquer - Chaos and Hilarity", the heroes find themselves being attacked by Cedric and Daolon Wong, Valmont and Hak Foo, and the Monkey King all at once, who also start fighting each other. |

StarCraft: Averted... most of the time. Despite the seemingly perfect set-up of Terran vs. Protoss vs. Zerg, each race consists of various factions. Infighting ensues. In the novels, the Battle of Tarsonis was depicted as one of these (in the game, there were three separate missions for the battle, allowing them to show that each side was around without having a true melee), with Confederates, Sons of Korhal, Protoss, and Zerg beating the crap out of each other. Mostly, though, the various factions were canny enough to sit back and watch when they found two enemies fighting. Mostly. In New Gettysburg theoretically the Protoss could fight the Zerg, but in practice they will never attack their base. And even if they did, Mengsk wants to pull an Enemy Mine and so you have to protect every Zerg structure. Unfortunately, the Zerg don't care... Another example can be found in Brood War, mission 6: Emperor's Flight, when the UED follows Fenix, Raynor, and Mengsk to Aiur and not only encounters Protoss forces there, but also a bunch of Zerg broods that are still around and will fight against both Protoss and Terrans. |

The second book of The Witchlands has two of those: Safi, Vaness and their group are making their way out of the arena where slaves and slaveowners are battling, with both sides attacking them because they think they're the enemy. Iseult and Aeduen fight two gangs of pirates who want to get to them and who recently turned on each other as well. |

Exaggerated in the Cyanide & Happiness short "High Noon", where a cowboy, bandit, sheriff, native american, pirate captain, rich pimp, U.S. soldier and a fly-like alien are willing to get their hands on the treasure the old prospector found in the desert, all for different reasons. One guy insists the real treasure is friendship, but they simply don't care. Turns out, he was right. | |

The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning: In the level Dante's Freezer, Spyro arrives right when the Ice Soldiers and the apes are in the middle of a war. Neither of them is pleased to see him. They spend a lot of time bombing each other as well as Spyro, which can sometimes mean that the gigantic mass of enemies in front of you that you're sweating over is wiped out in ten seconds by the other side. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): In one issue: Sonic vs. Scourge vs. Shadow vs. Amy vs. Rosy vs. Rob 'O vs. Metal Sonic vs. Silver... with absolutely no real clear way to tell who's fighting who and when. Though it quickly turns into everyone vs. Scourge when he turns Super. At issue 162-164, it's initially The Freedom Fighters vs. Mammoth Mogul and the Destructix vs. Ixis Naugus and the Arachne fighting for the Crown and Sword of Acorn. Naugus joins forces with Mogul half-through when he is being told by Mogul that he is the founder of the Order of Ixis and therefore Naugus' master, turning the battle into a simple two-sided war. The battle gets interrupted by Dr. Eggman, however, and he captures Mogul, Naugus, and their forces back to his capital prisons, leaving The Freedom Fighters as the victors, but with the cost of Sir Connery. And during one of the Sonic Universe arcs, we end up with Team Rose (Amy, Cream and Cheese, and Blaze), Team Dark (Shadow, Rouge, and Omega), Team Hooligan (Nack, Bean, and Bark), and the Babylon Rogues all fighting each other over a Sol Emerald. Teams Rose and Dark briefly team up, but by the end of the story, it quickly devolves into a four-way battle. A later Sonic Universe arc, Pirate Plunder Panic, briefly becomes one of these as Team Rose and the rival pirate crews of Captain Metal and Captain Whisker fight over control of the last Sol Emerald. However, Whisker's crew gets taken out pretty quickly, leaving it a normal two-way fight. |

In Devil May Cry 4, there are actually three factions: the Player Characters Dante and Nero, the Order of the Sword, and the Demons. When you're in a battle with enemies from both enemy factions, they will occasionally attack each other instead of Dante/Nero if you stand back long enough and watch the carnage. You're given hints about this situation in Mission 9 when two Assault enemies that were introduced in the last mission jump past and ignore Nero to attack the two Bianco Angelos guarding the Order of the Sword HQ, only to be killed effortlessly as part of an introduction for the Alto Angelo enemies and later in Mission 12 when Fortuna comes under attack, and the Savior and its army of Bianco and Alto Angelos come in to attack the Mephisto army. | |

The Item World in Disgaea. In the earliest levels, the "specialists" that you must kill to level up your weapon ignore everything until you attack them, at which point they may counter, but won't attack. Once you get deeper in, however, you see that their "NPC Ally" designation on your map screen isn't just for show, and you may have to pull off some tricky maneuvers to make sure your enemies don't kill them first if they start out too far away. | |

The first book in the X-Men/Avengers trilogy Gamma Quest concludes with a three-way brawl at Niagara Falls. The Avengers (Captain America, Iron Man and the Vision) and the X-Men (Cyclops, Beast and Storm) try to make contact with Bruce Banner to ask for his expertise in gamma radiation after gamma-based technology is involved in the abduction of the Scarlet Witch and Rogue, only to end up fighting after Banner's transformation is provoked by the Canadian army. With neither team aware of the other's missing members (and fake X-Men having recently attacked a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier), the fight features such developments as the Hulk tearing Vision's arm off, Storm disabling Iron Man's armour, and Cyclops and Captain America basically stalemating as their optic blasts and shield parry each other, until Beast manages to calm the Hulk down long enough to explain the situation. | |

Dark Souls III: The Darkwraiths and Ghrus in Farron Keep are hostile to each other. The Ghru may still attack you while fending off the Darkwraiths, but the Darkwraiths are much stronger and would prioritise on killing the Ghru first, usually resulting in the Darkwraiths defeating a pack of Ghrus before focusing on you. PvP in general can potentially lead to one of these fights if the player ends up fighting invading phantoms from different factions who don't just team up against you. The sequels take it up even further if you use the Seed of the Giant Tree during these encounters, as it makes the enemies hostile to the invaders in addition to already trying to kill you. This is a key part of the first phase of the Abyss Watchers fight. The first two Watchers are hostile only to you, but some of the ones that emerge after that are corrupted by the Abyss and will attack anyone who gets close enough - and the uncorrupted ones will attack their corrupted brethren in return, giving you an opening to strike while they're distracted. |

The Fire Emblem franchise averted this for a long time, where enemy factions who should theoretically hate each other just as much as you will Gang Up on the Human, though some later games have warmed up to the trope. In Chapter 12 of Fire Emblem Warriors. Hoshido and Nohr are manipulated into fighting each other, and it's up to you to subdue both of them while preventing them from killing each other. In addition, Pincer Escape maps in History Mode set you up against two rival factions and task you with bringing them both down. The trope then appeared in the main series with Fire Emblem: Three Houses, with a number of examples. Firstly, the trope is invoked by the academy that serves as the game’s main setting, with the school year including two mock battles that take place between the houses. While the first one is treated as a Gang Up on the Human in gameplay, the second one is a proper example of the trope, where both rival houses will be just as willing to attack each other when they can. The second mock battle is called back to after the time skip in two of the story routes, where the three factions meet up on the same battlefield, only this time, it’s a real battle. There are also optional auxiliary battles, where the player’s army must take on a group of bandits, and a giant monster is also present on the map, which is too feral minded to side with anyone. In Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes: Several fights can involve a three-way between your group, the enemy army, and a giant monster that will kill anything that gets in its way. While this sort of fight is usually restricted to a Side Quest in regular missions where you can ignore the giant monster in favor of defeating the enemy army, auxiliary missions have this as their defacto scenario, often with two or more giant monsters before an enemy army suddenly shows up to attack. On the Scarlet Blaze route, if you kill Jeralt in Chapter 10, Byleth later convinces Claude to double-cross Edelgard during the fight in the Valley of Torment, turning what should have been a united front against the Kingdom of Faerghus and Church of Seiros into a free-for-all with the Adrestian Empire, Faerghus/Church, Leicester Alliance, and Byleth all fighting for their own purposes. The final mission of the Scarlet Blaze route has the Empire, the Church, and the Agarthans all fighting each other in Garreg Mach and the Final Boss being a Dual Boss against Rhea and Thales together who are also taking potshots at each other the whole time, rather than just being one or the other on the other routes. In Fire Emblem Engage, Fell Xenologue 4 involves a three-way fight between the Divine Dragon and their cohort, the alternate Elusia, and the alternate Solm. |

The famous climax of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a Mexican Standoff between the three eponymous leads, well-known enough that almost half of it is in the theatrical trailer, although it stops short of showing the outcome. Although a picture of the scene would make a good trope-picture, it turns out to have a minor subversion since The Good had unloaded The Ugly's revolver, so he knew there was only one threat on the field. But since the viewers and the other two combatants didn't know, the delightful tension before the battle was still there. | |

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars has the plot start of with a traditional war with the Brotherhood of Nod staring an assault on the GDI Blue Zones after Nod disables Goddard Space Center and nukes the defenseless GDS Philedelphia space station. However, through deliberate plotting by Kane (supreme leader of Nod), the GDI forces take the bait Kane left them and are manipulated into firing their Ion Cannon upon the desired target, which alerts the Scrin to invade Earth and turns the war into controlled free for all. This is all according to Kane's grand scheme so that he can capture Scrin technology for his longterm goals agenda, and without any of the others realizing it. The Scrin even make note in their campaign over how odd it is that GDI and Nod continue to skirmish with one another at every chance even with the presence of what should be a common enemy. In the mission "Operation Stiletto" as Nod, the GDI and Scrin are launching full scale assaults against each other and you have to make sure they don't completely destroy each other while you capture each other's construction yards. |

Earth's Alien History: The Praxis War starts as a Klingon Civil War with just two sides (Azetbur's legitimate government and the rebels led by House Duras), only for the Cardassians and Breen to try and take advantage of the situation by invading Klingon space and attacking both sides. And since the rebels are too stubborn to call a truce (unlike the more pragmatic Azetbur), it stays a three-way conflict. | |

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate uses this as the Final Boss's gimmick: officially, it's your fighter vs. the Dual Boss (Galeem and Dharkon, who are both evil and seek to destroy you, but also want to destroy each other), but said bosses make no attempt to avoid friendly fire and never hesitate to Kick Them While They Are Down, making it your fighter vs. Final Boss 1 vs. Final Boss 2. If you pay attention to the Color-Coded for Your Convenience player indicators, you will see that yours is in red, Galeem's puppet fighters' are in blue and Dharkon's puppet fighters' are in green, even further punctuating this trope. | |

In Bloodborne, the Beast Possessed Soul is outright hostile to everything when he is a mob, and will attack the other creatures within its sight. You can use it to dispatch other creatures for you. | |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003): Following the Shredder's supposed death, New York became a battleground between what was left of the Foot, the mob, and the Purple Dragons gang. Most of the major conflicts in the series are less Turtles vs. Shredder and more Turtles vs. Shredder vs. Baxter Stockman (who eventually pulls a The Starscream on Shredder and remains a persistent thorn in both sides' sides by hitching his wagon to the aforementioned mob and later Bishop). Stockman usually gets eliminated from the three-way first, though. The "Turtles in Space" arc has the Turtles caught in the crossfire between the Federation and the Triceraton Republic, two galactic dictatorships that are nearly identical in their corruption, militarism, and insanity. |

In Sinestro Corps War, the battle for Earth turns into this toward the end. The Green Lantern Corps and Earth's superheroes are on one side, the Sinestro Corps are on the other, and Superboy-Prime—who was previously affiliated with the Sinestro Corps—is in the middle, fighting everyone else for the hell of it. | |

There's a brief one in Grand Theft Auto V, with the meth/arms trafficking wars between Trevor Philips Enterprises, The Lost MC, the Varrios Los Aztecas and the O'Neil brothers. Shortly after the player gains control of him for the first time, Trevor proceeds to wipe out all opposing sides almost entirely by himself. Later on in the mission "The Wrap-Up", a four-way shootout occurs with Michael, Dave Norton and Trevor vs. an FIB SWAT team vs. a team of IAA agents vs. a whole platoon of Merryweather mercenaries with several Buzzard attack helicopters. And it should be noted that Michael, Dave, and Trevor are all on shaky ground with each other to begin with. The possible final mission, "The Third Way", begins with a grueling shootout between the three protagonists (Franklin, Michael, and Trevor), a team of FIB agents, and some Merryweather mercenaries. True to the trope, the FIB agents and Merryweather soldiers help the protags out by shooting at each other. |

In A Practical Guide to Evil there is the "Five-Way-Melee", a war- game at the war college of the Dread Empire of Praes. Catherine, the protagonist and her company of cadets, face four other companies. Nearly all the companies go in with one or more pre-made alliances, and nearly all of these alliance get broken along the way and new alliances form until there are only two companies left in the field. | |

In Half-Life 2 and the Episodes, it becomes Human/Vortigaunt Resistance vs. Antlions vs. the Combine vs. Headcrab Zombies (Antlions and Zombies were rarely in the same place at the same time in the original game, but Episode 2 features a particularly epic brawl in an abandoned mine shaft). The Combine use headcrab shells as a weapon against rebel-controlled areas, and at one point the player gets to control a bunch of antlions. In fact, the very first time Overwatch soldiers show up, they're seen killing zombies that wander out of the Ravenholm mine shaft. |

Samurai Warriors: In the first Samurai Warriors, Masamune Date's entire story mode consists of nothing but him butting in on other generals' conflicts and annihilating both sides without stopping to think overmuch on whose side is right or wrong... or stopping to think at all, for that matter. In Noh's story in the first game, she has a variation of the Honnonji Incident where she betrays Nobunaga at the same time as Mitsuhide. As such, the two of them end up fighting each other as they attempt to be the one to personally assassinate Nobunaga, only for him to escape in the confusion, while his army stays behind to try and stop the two would-be assassins. One of Samurai Warriors 2's more interesting fights takes place during Hanzo's story, a three-way fight between Hanzo, Kotaro, and Nene (the game's three playable ninjas). Speaking of Nene, her dream stage in the second game sees her interrupt the Battle of Sekigahara in order to discipline the two armies for fighting over Japan. She ends up defeating both of them then gives them a lecture and makes them rice cakes. Kotaro Fuma's Musou Mode in the second game, often sees him doublecrossing his supposed allies and ends up kicking everybody's ass indiscriminately. Then again, he claims to be Chaos... |

In RWBY, when Clover and Qrow start fighting after Ironwood's order to arrest Qrow, Tyrian gets involved in the fight, having escaped from his cuffs. When Qrow tries to subdue Tyrian, Clover targets Qrow instead of helping to recapture the prisoner. For a short while, the three men all fight each other before Tyrian decides to help Qrow fight Clover. When he successfully convinces Qrow to join forces to subdue Clover, the fight becomes an Enemy Mine battle. | |

In Dawn of War it's a ménage à quatre: you have the Imperium (Space Marines + some Imperial Guard support), the Orks, the Eldar, and Chaos all fighting for different goals around the demon artifact in the planet. In terms of gameplay, though, you will actually only see the Eldar briefly repel some Orks in their introductory mission, and later join your forces in the final battle after you long fought each other. In Winter Assault you have the "order" forces comprising the Imperial Guard + the Eldar, and the "disorder" forces comprising the Orks + Chaos. The alliances are quite fragile, though, particularly in the disorder campaign where Orks and Chaos fight each other as much as they fight the order. In the penultimate order mission, you can switch to the Eldar and to win you have to necessarily fight your former imperial allies, while also fending off Chaos and Ork forces. The penultimate disorder mission is the same from the other side, but no matter if you prefer Chaos or Orks you are counted as enemies, while the Imperial Guard and the Eldar are united against you. The final mission for every faction is always at least order vs disorder vs Necrons, and with the Orks the disorder is definitely broken and you have to fight Chaos as well. It can be hilarious to see your opponents fight each other while you pierce them from the distance. In Dark Crusade you have SEVEN factions fighting for planet Kronus: Space Marines, Imperial Guard, Orks, Eldar, Chaos, Necrons, and Tau. While in the strategic map everybody is against anybody, during battles you will never go beyond a 1vs1 though. In Soulstorm it's the same, but you add the Sisters of Battle and the Dark Eldar, bringing the factions fighting for the Kaurava system to NINE. The Unification mod further expands the faction list by adding the Undivided Daemons, the Ordo Malleus, and the Tyranids. |

Paranoia has the official agenda of The Computer, the clandestine agendas of over a dozen secret societies, the office politics of several service groups, plus the personal goals of six PCs and as many NPCs as Friend Gamemaster can keep track of. Any two of these may sort-of-align at any given moment (in the sense of "yes, this person will screw me over, but this other person will screw me over faster and harder"), or may pretend to do so. Some official missions up the ante by having everyone pursue the same MacGuffin at once, generally in ways that are as mutually-exclusive and Gambit Pileup-inducing as possible. | |

In Baldur's Gate II: Before ending chapter 1 you might find a vampire and some shadow thieves fighting each other, whoever survives will then attack you, even if you gave assistance against the other. In chapter 4, the crew of Saemon Havarian, the Githyanki, and the Sahuagin (while you are technically included among the first, you might consider yourself a fourth side caught into the frail). Inside the Watcher's Keep, your party against the demons and the devils both fighting each other in the Blood War (though you face them separately). |

Magic, Metahumans, Martians and Mushroom Clouds: An Alternate Cold War: Egypt's Civil War upon resurrection of Ramses XI has four distinct factions — Ramses' undead forces and living supporters of his restored monarchy, the ousted General Naguib's remaining loyalists trying to restore him to power, and various Communist and Muslim groups trying to take over Egypt for themselves. The power vacuum in India following Subhas Bose's takeover and subsequent death results in several of his lieutenants fighting to take his place, while also dealing with uprisings by the Sikh population, loyalists of the ousted Prime Minister Nehru, and the Communist Party of India. The chaotic fighting that engulfs Paris in May 1968 is between Charles de Gaulle's government, various socialist and right-wing groups opposed to said government and each other, and an expeditionary invasion force from an Alternate Universe when the Bonaparte dynasty conquered the world. The Himalayan War involves China and India both separately invading Tibet to try and conquer it for themselves, with Tibet not only having to fend them both off but also having to deal with communist militias and fringe Buddhist sects aimed at bringing down the government. The Iraqi civil war almost has too many factions to count. Army cliques, Baathists, Islamists, minority separatists, local metahumans, and more all pop up to fill the power vacuum that happens when Nergal wipes out the government, and start fighting each other for dominance. |

Dungeon Keeper Ami: The dark gods get along with each other about as well as sodium and water, so when Ami enters their realm, she ends up with three of them fighting over her. The Unraveller would like to recruit her, or failing that, disassemble her brain and read all her memories. Crowned Death wants to commit unspeakable tortures on her. Azzathra just generally hates her. And Azzathra has forced Crowned Death to co-operate with him, putting pressure on the Unraveller to help them out, but that only increases the resentment between all three of them, and they take pot-shots at each other whenever they see a momentary weakness. The fighting between them is Ami's best chance at getting away. | |

Dragon Ball: Way back in the original Dragon Ball, this happened briefly in the Red Ribbon arc with Goku, Pilaf, and the Red Ribbon Army all chasing after one of the balls at the same time. This appears in Dragon Ball Z early in the Freeza arc. You have three separate factions (Gohan and Krillin vs Freeza and his men vs. Vegeta) all looking for the Dragon Balls and trying to undercut each other at the same time. Happens again in the middle of the Cell arc. The Z team wants to stop the Androids, who want to kill Goku and treat it like a game. Then Cell shows up and wants to eat the Androids...so he can attain his perfect form and begin his own reign of terror. |

A More Personal Union has a few examples: The Italian theater of the Great War becomes this, as the Pavian Compact is formed by the otherwise neutral northern Italian city-states to kick both the French and the Spanish out of their territory once their fighting spills into it. The unrest in China during the early 1600s has the Imperial court, a sizable army faction that's gone rogue out of disgust at the court's corruption, Red Tiger's revolutionary army, and the Jurchen invaders (the latter two eventually reluctantly teaming up), as well as numerous smaller groups, all fighting each other. The Spanish Civil War has four claimants fighting over the throne, as well as having to deal with an uprising by the Muslim Moriscos. |

Half-Life: Three-way firefights between Gordon Freeman, the marines, and the aliens are one of the defining attributes of Half-Life. The Marines usually end ahead of the aliens, and Gordon consistently trounces both. It happens in scripted sequences too, to remind you that yes, there is a battle raging. For example, three Alien Grunts get dropped off by a Xen Flyer only to be immediately bombed by an F-16. In Half-Life 2 and the Episodes, it becomes Human/Vortigaunt Resistance vs. Antlions vs. the Combine vs. Headcrab Zombies (Antlions and Zombies were rarely in the same place at the same time in the original game, but Episode 2 features a particularly epic brawl in an abandoned mine shaft). The Combine use headcrab shells as a weapon against rebel-controlled areas, and at one point the player gets to control a bunch of antlions. In fact, the very first time Overwatch soldiers show up, they're seen killing zombies that wander out of the Ravenholm mine shaft. In Opposing Force there are four sides in play (the player and the friendly Marines, the Xen Aliens, the new aliens that have since disappeared from the story and the Black Ops that used to be with the Marines), and with a level editor there could be five (the traditional "enemy" Marines), but without that level editor you never see more than three in the same place at once. The Black Ops and Race X don't fight as much as the Xenians and Marines, but they do indeed so. More noticeable in the final few chapters. The Half-Life mod Heart of Evil, with Percy, Barney, and MIKE troops vs. the 1st Air Cav vs. the Viet Cong and the NVA vs. Kurtz's zombies vs. exploding dogs vs. gorillas. |

Gundam 00: At the start of the series, the main conflict would be between the three major power blocs of the Union, the HRL, and the AEU. Also known in modern times as the United States, Communist Russia and China, and the European Union, but mostly actually just small conflicts in the Middle East in countries supported but not formally belonging to any one of these and no major war. After everyone gets GN Drives the first season winds up to be Celestial Being (with Aeolia Schenberg/Sumeragi Lee Noriega as "proxy") vs. Thrones (Alejandro Corner, but really Ribbons Almark) vs. everybody else (UN Forces). It's interesting because it kind of goes back to being a Mexican Standoff considering that this season ended in a complete STALEMATE. Remember,while the Thrones and Corner himself did die, Ribbons was controlling them. It's his set-up of A-Laws that begin the second season. Celestial Being didn't get wiped out, they build new Gundams for the second season, and the regular military gets left alone, which doesn't matter as they're the weaker force that's just happy to be there. In the second season, after the timeskip, and especially after the endgame really gets going, you can see that the entire season has interconnecting melees. The main story arc is essentially the continuation of the first season with Celestial Being and Regene Regetta vs. A-Laws read Fucking Ribbons and The Innovators vs. everyone else (Earth Federation (the "Regular" army with Smirnoff and Mannequin calling the shots, serving the Kingmaker role). However, the B story is Katharon vs. A-Laws (SPECIFICALLY. No Ribbons) vs. Celestial Being, and in that specific order because Katharon and Celestial Being were technically not allies unless A-Laws did something stupid, and even then, it was because global catastrophe would ensue otherwise. |

Gundam ZZ briefly dabbled in AEUG vs. Zeon vs. Blue Team during one episode, but that was quickly swept away once the titular mech showed up. However, at the end of the series, it does essentially become a showdown between the AEUG, Neo Zeon, and Glemmy Toto's faction of Neo Zeon. | |

The plot of The Dark Lords of Nerima is kicked off when one lone, outcast youma tries to instigate one of these between the sailor senshi, the dark kingdom, and the Nerima crew in order to kill the sailor senshi and get back into the dark kingdom's good graces. They will accept the deaths of many youma if it means killing them. It works only too well. Ranma and Ryôga end up fighting and defeating Jedite, which is something no amount of dead teenagers can forgive. | |

Saints Row often has the player fighting off both rival gangs and police. Nowhere is this more evident than Saints Row: The Third's penultimate mission, "Three Way", where the city of Steelport breaks out into chaos as the Luchadores and STAG engage each other in mass warfare, and the Saints have to clean up the mess...by killing off both sides at the worst areas of fighting, along with any extras that show up due to maxed notoriety for both sides. The second mission of the first Saints Row has a Melee A Quatre, with the Saints crashing what was already a three-way gang war and wiping out all the other parties in the confusion. |

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back has Crash himself stuck in the middle of one, as it's N. Brio's forces vs. Neo Cortex and N. Gin vs. Coco (who tries to warn Crash about Cortex manipulating him). Of course, since it's Crash who is the hero, he ultimately defeats Cortex and N. Gin, and he, Coco and N. Brio use the gems to destroy Cortex's space station. The N. Sane Trilogy version skews things even further by having Coco directly help Crash herself via time travel. | |

The Flash video series Super Mario Bros. Z pits the Mario team (Consisting of Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Sonic and Shadow) against the Koopa Bros (From Paper Mario) and the Axem Rangers X (Upgraded versions of the Axem Rangers from Super Mario RPG), in a fierce battle on Yoshi's Island. Later, Mecha Sonic appears, who fights against all three, though only one team at a time. He enters the battle by ramming into the Koopa Bros, taking them out instantly. With them down, he then proceeds to nab the Axem Ranger's Chaos Emerald and destroy their gunship. The Rangers attack him, but he systematically beats and then kills them. This leaves only the heroes, Mario, Sonic and the gang, to take on Mecha Sonic, and the rest of the episode revolves around this fight rather than the earlier Mélêe à Trois. | |

Before that, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion featured seven specially named goblin tribes whose lairs contain totem staves, which the player can steal and give to another tribe to provoke a war. The only time most players encounter this mechanic is a sidequest where a farmstead placed right between the caves of two warring goblin tribes asks the player to stop them fighting nearby. The players' options range wildly here, from wiping one or both tribes out, returning the staff one tribe stole from the other, or stealing them both yourself and dropping them somewhere else to simply move the fighting. | |

In the first two Total War games you could end up in this situation if two or more powers attacked a third at the same time. In later games, this kind of massive free-for-all is only possible in the custom battles, but boy could this make for awesome battles if your computer could handle the weight. | |

This is going on throughout the Whateley Universe story "Saks and Violence" but the final battle in the wrecking yard is Jadis (the protagonist) and her fellow Bad Seeds plus as many minions as she could hire on short notice vs. the Empire City Guard and the Cadet Crusaders vs. the armies of the Anti-Champion.

Millionaires' Express is a 1986 Hong Kong movie that appears to juggle a complex set of storylines... until the final 25 minutes or so, when the movie erupted into an all-out anarchic brawl spanning an entire town and involving some of the biggest names in Hong Kong movie ass-kicking at the time: Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Hwang Jang Lee, Cynthia Rothrock, Yukari Oshima, Corey Yuen, Dick Wei, Richard Norton, Lam Ching-ying, and Yasuaki Kurata among them. | |

Kid Icarus: Uprising: Pit vs Dark Pit vs Underworld Forces in Chapter 6. Pit vs Space Pirates vs Underworld Forces in Chapter 8. The big one, starting in Chapter 11, is Palutena's Army vs Hades' Underworld Forces vs Viridi's Forces of Nature. And then you throw the Aurum and later the Chaos Kin into the mix... Does anybody get along in this game? As a matter of fact, if you stop to pay attention, you will see mooks of different factions beating each other up. Sometimes they'll even kill each other for you so you don't have to. Actually subverted in the Aurum's case, since Palutena's Army, Hades' Underworld Forces, and Viridi's Forces of Nature join together in defeating them. Played straight with the Chaos Kin, however, as there it's Hades' Underworld Forces, Palutena's Army (under control of the Chaos Kin), and Viridi's Forces of Nature, with Pit siding with the last since they're the most decent group left. |

The game Sins of a Solar Empire has this as its basic structure — a three-way fight between different factions with different abilities (tech, psionics, wormhole manipulation). Also, Sid Meier's Civilization series, the Dominion games, (most 4x games, in fact)... The Rebellion Expansion Pack has the main three factions each split into Loyalists and Rebels with slight differences between the two. Mainly, each of the six factions has their own Titan (unique ginormous warship that dwarfs entire fleets). |

Ace Combat: The uncut Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere eventually had four sides fighting each other in every one of its Multiple Endings: UPEO vs. General Resource vs. Neucom vs. Ouroboros. In fact, each ending was mainly characterized by who your character was fighting for in the end (Ouroboros technically got two). Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War had the setup of Yuktobania vs. Osea vs. Belka in the last few missions. Also, your own squadron had to fight all of them at once until the truth about the third participant went public. One mission in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War briefly descends into this, with the Allied Forces intercepting a group of Belkan bombers and escorts, only for a second group of Belkans to show up and open fire on the first group to try to prevent them from dropping their nuclear payload. The latter group won't target you, but you can still shoot them down if you want extra money and don't care about being seen as a moral-less merc. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown: after the Usean satellite network is destroyed in Mission 15, communications on both sides of the conflict are severed. Chain of command disintegrates for both Osea and Erusea, with Erusea's military splintering into anti-war conservatives versus pro-war radicals, and Osean penal units taking advantage of the chaos to attack their captors and escape. In Mission 16, all vehicles are designated as "Unknown" until you can do a visual fly-by to positively identify them, with Oseans shooting Oseans until your AWACS can send the updated data out. And to make matters worse, no comms means the Erusean UAV fleet is unable to receive updated orders from their human controllers, so the drone AI programs begin acting on their own as defined by their dangerously vague mission parameters and overriding the Erusean military's authority as to what constitutes a "target.". |

World of Warcraft: In the Drak'theron Keep dungeon, the Scourge is attacking the Drakkari ice troll-controlled keep. Both sides are hostile to the player. At the Wrathgate battle, the Horde and Alliance put aside their differences to fight the Scourge until Putress launches the New Plague that kills the living and the Undead at the Alliance, Horde and Scourge forces, killing many and starting a war between the Alliance and the Horde. Both factions then invade the Undercity, which Putress' master Varimathras has taken over; the Alliance hopes to reclaim Lordaeron while the Horde wants their city back. As a result, in Icecrown Citadel, the player must fight through soldiers of the opposing faction, and board their faction's gunship to fight off the other side's. In Warlords of Draenor, the main conflict is the combined Alliance/Horde forces vs. the Iron Horde vs. the Shadow Council/Burning Legion. Generally speaking, any given expansion tends to amount to "Alliance vs Horde vs Monster of the Week". How much focus the Alliance vs Horde conflict gets varies between expansions and sometimes major patches. |

Sentinels of the Multiverse: Games that take place in some of the more aggressive Environments can easily become this. The Enclave of the Endlings' target cards consist solely of powerful aliens that are very displeased at this invasion of their home, and will rip into hero and villain targets with equal abandon. Dok'Thorath Capital is enveloped in a civil war, with cards representing both freedom fighters and regime soldiers. They'll attack each other just as much as they lay into the heroes and villains. A game with Ra on the team, the Ennead as the villain, and the Tomb of Anubis as the Environment becomes one of these that's supported by game mechanics — Anubis, the Tomb's most powerful card, shares Ra's Nemesis icon with the Ennead, so his attacks will deal increased damage to both them and Ra (and vice versa). |

Freaks of Nature features a town where humans, zombies, and vampires leave at peace with each other until aliens arrive. Immediately, humans and vampires accuse the other of bringing the aliens to get rid of them and zombies riot because they haven't received their brains yet. This results in a town-wide fight between all three populations, who are then all attacked by the aliens. | |

Edward Kenway catches wind of his trail and pursues him there, eventually arriving and forcing Roberts to take to the seas once again. His escape causes him to accidentally sail directly into an absolutely massive battle between the British and Spanish fleets both arriving off the coast at the same time. Both sides immediately turn their guns on Bart and he is forced to return fire in every direction while Edward attempts to navigate himself onto the ship to kill him. | |

Eternals: Kro's attack in the final battle leads to this: Ikaris is fighting to stop the other Eternals from their plan, Kro wants to kill them all to avenge his fellow Deviants, and the Eternals fight Kro in both self-defense and to stop him from absorbing Ikaris' powers. | |

Homestuck: God-tier Vriska vs. Eridan vs. Gamzee! STRIFE! Subverted, A newly undead Kanaya kicks Gamzee in the crotch and off a cliff, punches Vriska and sends her sliding away, and breaks Eridan's wand and pulls out a chainsaw on him. Later on in the act, there's a showdown with a quintet, existing of the aforementioned Kanaya and Gamzee, but also with Karkat, Sollux and Terezi. The first one is named 'Attempt a rare 3x showdown combo', and the second one is titled in the same vein: 'Attempt a rare and highly dangerous 5x showdown combo'. Though this is downplayed in that everyone except Gamzee is on the same side; Karkat merely calms his friends down to stop them from fighting Gamzee so he can settle things himself. Much later, in "[S] Game Over", there's the Condesce vs. Aranea vs. the protagonists, who all attack the members of the other groups with the intent to kill (and, in many cases, successfully do kill each other). There's a minor fourth side with Gamzee, who's in a mad rage, but he only attacks the protagonists, and only manages to kill one and badly injure another before a third protagonist kills him. In the climax of Act 6, there is a three-way between Terezi and Dave and Dirk on one side, Spades Slick on another, and Jack English on the third. Both Jacks are equally hostile to everyone. |

This is actually quite common in board games, whether the games range from simple to mind-bogglingly complex. Consider Risk and its variants, Twilight Imperium, Dirk Henn's Shogun, and dozens of other examples. Heck, even a lot of games that prohibit direct conflict, like Settlers of Catan, Monopoly, etc., allow for the same dynamic as this trope — if you excuse a broad enough definition of "conflict". | |

The series' final battle is a three-way struggle between Ahsoka and Rex, Maul, and the Order 66-affected clone troopers. |

The Senran Kagura series is absolutely full of this. Originally in the first game Burst, it was Hanzo Academy vs. Hebijo Academy to evoke the traditional sense of "Good Shinobi vs. Evil Shinobi", but this gets completely abandoned near the end of the game when the true Big Bad shows up and releases an Eldritch Abomination on both of the factions. After that, the Hebijo students break off from their faction to form their own called the Crimson Squad. Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson has Hanzo Academy and the Crimson Squad vs. Dougen and the Youma vs. Naraku and Kagura. It gets complicated. It gets even more complicated in the Versus series. Shinovi Versus introduces Gessen Academy, a Knight Templar faction, and the new Hebijo faction formed from new students in the wake of the Crimson Squad's breakaway. Leading to instances of Good Versus Good, Evil Versus Evil, and Gray-and-Grey Morality throughout the whole game. Estival Versus introduces the Thousand-Year Festival Executives, a faction with a Freudian Excuse who engages the other four factions in a five-way competition. |

Mario Party is in essence a four player free-for-all (at least in a standard game), but for the minigame at the end of each turn, teams are determined by the color of the space they landed on, leading to basically random and constantly changing 2v2 and 1v3 alliances, as well as free-for-alls if everyone lands on the same color. | |

Carmen Sandiego features Carmen and her allies against both V.I.L.E., a secretive, extensive criminal organization, and A.C.M.E., a secretive, extensive crime fighting organization. Each organization believes (or at least, suspects) Carmen is working with the other. Carmen is only actively fighting against V.I.L.E., though, whereas she's merely trying to evade A.C.M.E.'s capture, and she happily works alongside A.C.M.E. Agent Argent. She was even considering formalizing the alliance with A.C.M.E. (who were beginning to realize she wasn't the enemy) toward the end of season two until she found out the head of A.C.M.E. killed her criminal father in the line of duty, leaving her to be raised by V.I.L.E. in the first place; meanwhile, the cyber-attack Carmen did against A.C.M.E. to confirm this information soured the relationship on that side as well, making Carmen Sandiego their number one target. This leaves them opposing each other until the end of Season 4, when A.C.M.E. and Team Carmen finally team up to take down V.I.L.E. for good. | |

This is how four of the five team members meet in Guardians of the Galaxy. Quill has stolen an item of immense value and has a bounty on his head; Gamora wants the item and Rocket and Groot want the bounty. Gamora and Quill get into a battle in the middle of a busy street, with mildly interested onlookers watching. Just as she's about to deal the killing blow, Rocket and Groot come out of the woodworks and the fight becomes one of these, with Quill trying to escape and the others trying to take each other out of commission without losing Quill in the process. Then they all get arrested. | |

Civilization: Design-wise, the ideology system in Civilization V should always lead to this trope more or less occurring in any given game. Although civilizations with different ideologies (Autocracy, Freedom, Order) do not necessarily have to enter into a direct military confrontation against one another, a conflict of some kind between them is practically inevitable for a good reason, as the ideological choice of any civilization will have an impact not only on their own population but also on those of other civs (provided that the civilization in question is culturally influential enough), thereby increasing interest in chosen ideology being adopted as widely as possible. Though the difference in itself does not mean a guaranteed bad relationship until the end of the game (a penalty it gives is difficult to overcome but possible), civilizations with common ideological beliefs are still much more likely to cooperate with each other, including to counteract adherents of other worldview systems. The affinity system in Civilization: Beyond Earth also aims to cause such situations in one variation or the other. The further factions go in developing their selected affinity (Harmony, Purity, Supremacy), the more they are inclined to fully understand only those who made the same choice, not least due to them having common ultimate aspirations. This tendency makes itself felt when approaching any victory type associated with a certain affinity: while adherents of other affinities will always have something to say to you in protest, like-minded factions won't be concerned about your progress, even though there can only be one winner. Moreover, they might be interested in allying with you against the former, who, in turn, may try to stop you from making a "critical mistake". That said, similarly to Civilization V, factions with different affinities do not automatically become eternal enemies for this reason alone, so one can conclude that the confrontation manifests itself not so much during the gameplay as in the narrative. |

While the party in Below is battling a force of goblins, a tiny but agile squad of gremlins appears behind the party and attacks both. The goblins and gremlins have been at war, so it's not even clear which group the goblins were trying to find in the first place. The gremlins would have been better off engaging only the goblins, but despite their intelligence, they take typical "greenskin" concepts of friend and foe to the simplistic extreme. | |

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Skyrim finds itself in the middle of three different wars: an active war between the Cyrodilic Empire and the Stormcloaks, a cold war between the Empire and the Thalmor, and everyone versus the dragons. One of the missions you can elect to take during the main mission chain is to call a meeting between the three factions to get them to stop their fighting and accept a truce in order to fight the dragons. Meanwhile, the Forsworn want to kill all the Nords in one part of Skyrim and Harkon's vampires want to make the sun never rise again in order to rule over the mortal world. And to top it all off, the player themselves can be a force to be reckoned with, following their own agenda, if they so wish. | |

Fallout: New Vegas involves an upcoming battle for Hoover Dam between the New California Republic, Caesar's Legion and Mr. House and his Securitrons, with the main character deciding who they want to side with as the Wild Card of the game. Of course, if the players wish, they can even fight for an Independent New Vegas in which they essentially take over Vegas. It gets even more complicated with DLC, which reveals that Elijah and Ulysses also want to wipe out the three main factions competing in the Mojave. And they fully have the means to do it. | |

Occurs rather often in Professional Wrestling, in the form of a "Triple Threat Match" or "Fatal Four-Way" (those are the terms used by WWE), or the "Three/Four-Way Dance" (as ECW\SMW called it). Ring of Honor uses a combination "four-way" and tag match (separate from a four-way tag team match with eight participants) called "Four Corner Survival," where either of the two 'legal' wrestlers can tag in either of the two wrestlers but only one can win (which is just a cooler name for the old "four corners" match). Matches can go from Triple-Threat Matches to Fatal Four-ways to Six-Pack Challenges to full scale 20-60 man Battle Royals. |

The three-way ideological rivalry reflective of history in Hearts of Iron between the democratic Allies, the fascist Axis, and the communist Comintern. Each version of the game had slightly different means by which individual nations could join or drop out, but the three groups start out more or less hostile to one another and have their own set of victory conditions to accomplish by the end of the game. The Armageddon expansion to HOI 2 has a scenario that is specifically built around this trope. As a result of Alternate History, there are only 18 nations left in the world, each of which is approximately equal in strength to the others. At the beginning of the campaign, all these nations are equally divided into three hostile-to-each-other ideological alliances that resemble their real prototypes only in name. |

The Dark Knight: During the climax, Batman has to take on the Joker, along with his goons and dogs, while simultaneously incapacitating S.W.A.T. officers who have been fooled by a Disguised Hostage Gambit. Saying the S.W.A.T. officers don't cause much of a problem would be an understatement, however. Earlier in the film, the Joker sets one of these up between three goons, forcing them into working for him, but claiming that only one spot is open and holding "try-outs". He leaves a broken pool cue in front of them and leaves, telling them to "Make it fast." |

Nobody Dies is escalating into this, with humanity (NERV) vs. the Angels vs. the Cherubim. No one's entirely sure where the newly-unveiled Grigori fit into this, and there's even another faction of Angelic beings, the Seraphim, who have taken notice of the conflict on Earth but have thus far not done anything directly. And to make things even more confusing, a few of the Angels appear to have their own agendas, which may or may not tie into the above conflict. | |

In Guardians, Wizards, and Kung-Fu Fighters, the big fight in Chapter 9 starts as the Guardians, Caleb, and Jade against Daolon Wong and his Shapeshifters when the latter show up to claim an Oni mask that's in the same area as the former group's ski trip, but then Hak Foo shows up to claim the mask himself, and Quentin Ross (who had been trailing the group) steps in to try and capture Hak Foo. In Chapter 22, both Jackie and Viper have Oni masks forcibly put onto their faces, and become corrupted. Viper is turned into a Card-Carrying Villain who fights the Guardians For the Evulz, while Jackie becomes a Well-Intentioned Extremist who decides that the best way to keep everyone safe is to have the Mini Khan eat their shadows and put them into comas so they can't fight anymore. This leads to him attacking Viper and the Guardians, and their Shadowkhan fighting each other even while fighting the heroes. |

Dragon Age: Origins: While there're many factions and individuals with their own agendas competing with each other across Ferelden, the main conflict is between the Grey Wardens and their allies, Loghain and his allies, and the Darkspawn. The main plot is about the Grey Wardens trying to gather allies in order to fight off the Darkspawn, while being antagonized by Loghain, who betrayed them in an attempt to seize Ferelden for himself, forcing the Grey Wardens to deal with him first before they can deal with the Archdemon. | |

The war concludes with the fourth side winning and utterly annihilating the other sides. Discussed by the three Children in chapter 5: | |

Super Robot Wars: The fourth to last mission in Super Robot Wars: Original Generation 2 takes place in space, just next to a battle between the Einsts and the Shadow Mirrors/Inspectors. Your team arrives to destroy everybody still standing. Super Robot Wars W has it across several missions, due to the fact that there are multiple villainous factions. While the Earth/human-based organizations (like Amalgam, the Mariemeia Army and the Jovian Federation) are sometimes willing to ally with each other (albeit only until the other has served their purpose), the alien ones (the Galra Empire, the Radam, the Evoluted or the Zonderians) will more often prioritize destroying one another instead of the heroes. On every mission the player faces two villain factions that aren't allied with each other, they'll be represented by red and yellow units. |

Princess Mononoke: No less than eight distinct factions, what with San and the Wolves, Ashitaka, Eboshi and Irontown, Jigo and his hunters, the Boars, the Apes, the Deer God, and Asano's samurai. All at cross-purposes. Of course, they aren't all actively trying to kill every other faction, but the resulting tangle is pretty impressive. The main plot revolves around three fractions in midst of a war: there is Lady Eboshi who wants to protect Irontown and expand their mining, the spirits of the forest who want to protect their homes from Irontown's expansion and a samurai warlord who wants Irontown for its wealth. | |

In Opposing Force there are four sides in play (the player and the friendly Marines, the Xen Aliens, the new aliens that have since disappeared from the story and the Black Ops that used to be with the Marines), and with a level editor there could be five (the traditional "enemy" Marines), but without that level editor you never see more than three in the same place at once. The Black Ops and Race X don't fight as much as the Xenians and Marines, but they do indeed so. More noticeable in the final few chapters. | |

Most Dangerous Game Season 1 consists of a few brief examples. While the hunters are all collectively chasing Dodge and not each other, they are not working as a team and want to be the sole person to kill Dodge. Near the beginning, Nixon sees Reagan taking Dodge to another location with a knife at his side, and Nixon proceeds to stop the escalator they are on to allow Dodge to run away before pursuing Dodge himself. A couple scenes later, at the Subway, Nixon and Reagan have a brief stand off which ends rather quickly. Later, when Dodge is captured by a group of thugs, one of the hunters breaks in and rapidly shoots all of the thugs, as well as another one of the hunters also trying to get in, before attempting to kill Dodge once more. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: This is how four of the five team members meet in Guardians of the Galaxy. Quill has stolen an item of immense value and has a bounty on his head; Gamora wants the item and Rocket and Groot want the bounty. Gamora and Quill get into a battle in the middle of a busy street, with mildly interested onlookers watching. Just as she's about to deal the killing blow, Rocket and Groot come out of the woodworks and the fight becomes one of these, with Quill trying to escape and the others trying to take each other out of commission without losing Quill in the process. Then they all get arrested. The finale of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 features this, with the Guardians battling the main villain Ego before being interrupted by the Sovereigns and having to fight them as well. A brief example in Avengers: Age of Ultron with the Avengers (minus Hulk) vs. Ultron, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver vs. Klaw's gang. Ant-Man and the Wasp: The climax involves three factions entangled in an extended Chase Scene, battling each other for possession of the miniaturized Pym Lab and the technology inside it: The heroes, Sonny Burch and his men, and Ghost. The FBI also gets involved outside of the chase, trying to arrest Hank and Hope and bust Scott for breaking house arrest. Eternals: Kro's attack in the final battle leads to this: Ikaris is fighting to stop the other Eternals from their plan, Kro wants to kill them all to avenge his fellow Deviants, and the Eternals fight Kro in both self-defense and to stop him from absorbing Ikaris' powers. |

Fallout 3 has the Brotherhood of Steel as the main good faction and the Enclave as the main antagonists, along with several lesser factions fighting with or against the player as well as each other. At the optional Capitol Building, you may get involved in a four-way battle between yourself, the Enclave's troops, the Super Mutants, and the Talon Company Mercs. In another location, there can be a threesome between Outcasts (friendly to the player unless you piss them off), Mutants, and Raiders. Or better still, Raiders, a Yao Guai, a Deathclaw, and a Sentry Bot. | |

Fallout 4: You have four different factions: the Brotherhood of Steel, the Minutemen, the Railroad, and the Institute, all with their own agendas. Aside from the Minutemen and Railroad, who mostly don't care about each other, all of them oppose all the others. In the story mission The Battle of Bunker Hill, you actually have a three-way brawl between the Railroad, the Institute, and the Brotherhood. At that point in the game, it's entirely possible to be working for all three factions, so they'll all treat you as a friendly. Even if you're busy slaughtering them. The battle can get even more complicated if an outside force like Raiders, Super Mutants, or a hungry Deathclaw get attracted by all the fighting. The DLC continues the tradition. Automatron has the Sole Survivor and Ada, plus other robots they may have crafted, versus the Mechanist's robots, vs. the Rust Devils and their robots, while Far Harbor pits the citizens of the titular harbor town, the synth colony of Acadia, and the Children of Atom against each other, as well as possibly the Institute or the Brotherhood if the Sole Survivor has allied with one of them. |

Dynasty Warriors 6 has two of these in Lu Bu’s Musou Mode. His second battle has him suddenly rush into the Battle of Guandu and he fights both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao’s armies at the same time. His fourth stage has him butt in on the Battle of Chi Bi, and he fights both the Coalition Forces and Cao Cao’s Forces at once. Both scenarios are eventually subverted, due to the armies involved forming an Enemy Mine in an attempt to stop Lu Bu, not that it does them any good. | |

Escape Velocity Override features the Strand War, fought between the Zidagar, Igadzra and Azdagari (all cultures of the same species). Word of God is that it was deliberately set up this way: their original home-planet was nuked by internal warfare into being a dead rock. The Council that was set up by the survivors debated how best to ensure the survival of the species. The answer they came up with was to split the species into three sides, as that would be the number easiest to keep balanced in war, while a single state would be at greater risk from internal unrest outside the Council's influence. This works fine until they run into humans, who are apparently born meddlers and there's not a single Council operative amongst them, so the Council ends up going 'fuck this' and just openly assuming control, ending the Strand War. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: In "The Chase", Azula vs. Aang vs. Zuko. Then one by one the rest of the Gaang shows up, as does Iroh. Eventually collapses into everyone vs. Azula by silent agreement that they all hate her the most. She "surrenders" but gets away anyway. This is also present in the rest of the series as a sort of Right Hand Versus Left Hand between Zuko and the rest of the Fire Nation (especially Zhao) fighting over Aang, while Aang is trying to avoid capture. An earlier episode, "The Waterbending Scroll", has a three-way battle between the Gaang, the Fire Nation, and pirates. |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine develops one in the lead-up to the Dominion War. The Klingons launch an invasion of a newly democratic Cardassian Union.note Based on the grounds that, there's no possible way a civilian uprising could overthrow a military government -> the Cardassians have been infiltrated by changelings. The Federation tells their erstwhile allies to knock it off, to which the Klingons respond by breaking off the alliance and then attacking the Federation when they provide protection to the Cardassian government. The real winner in this is the Dominion, which hasn't gone to open war yet but is working in the shadows to play the Klingons, Federation, and Cardassians off against each other to pave the way for their invasion. All they had to do was plant the suggestion and then let the Klingons be Klingons. | |

Happens often in Streets of Rogue, usually invoked by the player to find simple solutions to their problems. Getting mugged by the mafia? Just lead them into that base you need to storm and let guards and mobsters waste their ammo on each other. Need to take out a gangster? Just orchestrate a massive shootout between them, a rival gang and the police then clean up whoever is left. The capacity for nearly any NPC to become hostile towards any other NPC under the right conditions and the several automatic rivalries between various groups means that it's actually fairly rare to go through a level without some form of multi-party Set a Mook to Kill a Mook action breaking out. | |

[PROTOTYPE] starts out as Alex Mercer vs. Blackwatch/US Marines, but shortly thereafter, the Redlight virus and Elizabeth Greene hit the scene as well, adding legions of viral mutants to the fray as well. Later on, Greene is killed and her virus starts to die off as well, but the Supreme Hunter takes her place as the third party, although not until the Final Boss fight. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Warriors: In the main story, "Land of Twilight" starts out as Hyrulean Forces vs. Cia's Dark Forces, but partway through the stage, Midna shows up with her own army. She teams up with the Hyrulean Forces afterward. In Cia's Tale, this happens twice. The Dark Forces fight both the Gorons and Volga's army in "The Dragon of the Caves", and both Zant and Midna in "The Usurper King". In the midst of the battle in the Temple of Souls between the Hyrulean forces and Cia's, Ganondorf bursts in with his own army to fight them all. Some battles in Adventure Mode task you with defeating two enemy armies, while others have you in a Body-Count Competition with another army. |

Sharpshooter 3D is set in the middle of a Gang War, and every now and then you find either mobsters of opposing gangs, or thugs and policemen, actively fighting each other besides attacking you. When caught in large-scale brawls enemies of different allegiances will try killing each other in the background as you're occupied with your own enemies in front. | |

Halo: Halo: Combat Evolved has Humans vs. Covenant vs. Flood vs. Sentinels, and Halo 2 takes that same setup and eventually splits the Covenant side between Loyalists (Prophets, Brutes, Jackals and Drones) vs. Separatists (Elites, Grunts, and Hunters). In Halo 3, things settle down into a simpler two-way Everybody vs. the Prophet of Truth and his loyalists, with Gravemind and the Flood taking over as the Big Bad guys after Truth is finally killed near the end; specifically, 3 serves as an inversion and subversion of the typical FPS case, with the Flood essentially becoming your temporary allies... and then backstabbing you again. As the Arbiter says, "We trade one enemy for another." Halo Wars also has Humans vs. Covenant vs. Flood vs. Sentinels. In Halo 4, you can find Covenant remnants and Prometheans fighting each other in the first level that they are both in, making it possible for you to mop the floor with whoever's left. The rest of the game subverts this by having the Covenant and Prometheans unite under the command of the Didact. In Halo 5: Guardians, the two groups oppose each other again, with the opening level dropping your team right into the middle of a big battle between the two. The expanded universe tells of several proxy wars on Earth and it's colonies, which were three-way conflicts between the United Nations, the Friedens, and the Koslovics. The subsequent Interplanetary War continued this setup. |

Noob: Horizon started out with two factions, the Empire (the faction in which the protagonists are playing) and the Coalition. Later installments introduce the Order, which is hostile to both, causing this trope to happen. Season 5 finale of the webseries had a fight between the three UltimateGamer386 characters. Fantöm and Amaras ended teaming up to have a chance to beat Spectre, who's good enough to put both of them in Overshadowed by Awesome territory. |

The final battle of Dies Irae is a huge free-for-all between Ren, Reinhard and Mercurius, each fighting to determine who is gonna be the next god of the multiverse, all while doling out reality shattering attacks trying to win the upper hand. Ultimately they end up destroying each other as neither Ren nor Reinhard can exist without Mercurius and instead it is Marie, who had been sitting back the entire time, who is able to move in and seize godhood. | |

Fallout: Fallout 3 has the Brotherhood of Steel as the main good faction and the Enclave as the main antagonists, along with several lesser factions fighting with or against the player as well as each other. At the optional Capitol Building, you may get involved in a four-way battle between yourself, the Enclave's troops, the Super Mutants, and the Talon Company Mercs. In another location, there can be a threesome between Outcasts (friendly to the player unless you piss them off), Mutants, and Raiders. Or better still, Raiders, a Yao Guai, a Deathclaw, and a Sentry Bot. Fallout: New Vegas involves an upcoming battle for Hoover Dam between the New California Republic, Caesar's Legion and Mr. House and his Securitrons, with the main character deciding who they want to side with as the Wild Card of the game. Of course, if the players wish, they can even fight for an Independent New Vegas in which they essentially take over Vegas. It gets even more complicated with DLC, which reveals that Elijah and Ulysses also want to wipe out the three main factions competing in the Mojave. And they fully have the means to do it. Fallout 4: You have four different factions: the Brotherhood of Steel, the Minutemen, the Railroad, and the Institute, all with their own agendas. Aside from the Minutemen and Railroad, who mostly don't care about each other, all of them oppose all the others. In the story mission The Battle of Bunker Hill, you actually have a three-way brawl between the Railroad, the Institute, and the Brotherhood. At that point in the game, it's entirely possible to be working for all three factions, so they'll all treat you as a friendly. Even if you're busy slaughtering them. The battle can get even more complicated if an outside force like Raiders, Super Mutants, or a hungry Deathclaw get attracted by all the fighting. The DLC continues the tradition. Automatron has the Sole Survivor and Ada, plus other robots they may have crafted, versus the Mechanist's robots, vs. the Rust Devils and their robots, while Far Harbor pits the citizens of the titular harbor town, the synth colony of Acadia, and the Children of Atom against each other, as well as possibly the Institute or the Brotherhood if the Sole Survivor has allied with one of them. |

Humanity is less than pleased with the idea of three hyper-advanced and powerful alien races duking it out on their Insignificant Little Blue Planet, to say the least. Eventually the Novus, Masari and humans team up on the Hierarchy and manage to defeat them. | |

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: Will Turner vs. Jack Sparrow vs. James Norrington, with Elizabeth standing disgusted on the sidelines. Notably, does not feature two of the sides joining temporarily. Unless you count Will and Norrington both attacking Jack and ducking out of each other's way, but that doesn't last long. There are also Davy Jones' crews who have come to recover the title chest while the three is busy fighting, and it's up to Elizabeth to team up with Pintel and Ragetti to keep it out of their hands. | |

In BioShock 2, you occasionally come across a group of Splicers trying (and always failing) to bring down a Big Daddy. It's always scripted, though, as Splicers will otherwise leave the Big Daddies alone even in your absence in both games. Which makes sense; if every Big Daddy had to constantly fight off every Splicer they run across, you could just follow them around and wait for their health to get whittled down — helping yourself to free Splicer loot all the way. Luckily there are still ways to force this. | |

Azure Striker Gunvolt Series has at least two. 1 has QUILL (whom GV is part of), a resistance movement who wanted to liberate all Adepts from oppression and opposes Sumeragi that perform inhumane experiments on them as an alternate energy resource, and later joining the frey is Copen who wanted to take down Sumeragi and exterminate all Adepts down to man, woman, and child. 2 has GV (accompanied by Joule and supported by Xiao) fighting against Eden that wanted to create an Adept paradise by killing all non-Adepts. Then there's Copen (now accompanied by Lola and supported by Nori) who still commits to Adept genocide. |

Rebuild World: In the chaotic Inner Kuzusuhara Ruins Assault, all communications have broken down, and Akira ends up in one of these against both Katsuya and Tiol on the top of his Awesome Personnel Carrier being driven through the war zone. Akira uses the Sticky Shoes function of his Powered Armor to take cover standing off the back of it, Tiol uses his Voluntary Shapeshifting to fight from another side, and Katsuya just hangs on with one hand. The stray bullets from the three fighting make holed up hunter squads in the area think they’re being attacked and fire back, and a feral monster jumps onto the vehicle mid-battle too. So it’s a Melee a Cinq. | |

Happens sometimes in random missions in BattleTech, particularly ones to kill specific enemies: a third party will occassionally arrive who also wants to kill the target. This is actually a good thing if the target happens to be in a big, nasty mech since you can pull back and let both sides pound each other for a few rounds before you swoop in with your fresh lance to mop up the survivors. It also happens at the end of the Heavy Metal flashpoint, when you find yourself going up against Natasha Kerinsky *and* the Bounty Hunter, and each of their overpowered lances- the only chance you really have is to make sure they spend more time shooting each other. | |

Basically, Dialga and Palkia are having a territorial feud (the reason for which wasn't revealed until two movies later), a battle which they incidentally bring to the town of Los Alamos, Darkrai's home. Darkrai has to protect the town from the two Olympus Mons' rampage, making him the hero of the movie. | |

Star Wars: The Old Republic: The Republic and the Sith Empire have enough on their plate fighting a major galactic war with each other. Then Darth Malgus betrays the Empire to form his own. He fights both armies. Then the Hutt Cartel gets involved. Alderaan is engulfed in a Civil War at the start of the game due to the death of all the Royal family's heirs. There are three, possibly more, factions all shooting at each other. First, we have House Organa (Leia's future adoptive family) which supports The Republic and receives military support from them. Then there's House Thul which is backed by the Sith. And House Ulgo which started the war to begin with when their leader Bouris Ulgo stages a coup in a bid to ironically end the planetary legislature's stalemate on choosing a new Royal family. It's eventually revealed that he was the mastermind behind the previous Monarch's assassination and he slaughtered most of the Panteer clan because he saw them as weak and unable to face a possible Imperial invasion. And if things weren't crazy enough, the long-hidden insectoid Killiks are accidentally disturbed and are thus drawn into the war themselves. On Hoth, The Republic, The Empire, and the White Maw Pirates are fighting over the lost technology in a graveyard of crashed starships from the last war. And then in Knights of the Fallen Empire (the newest and to date, largest expansion) we have the biggest example of this yet. The Eternal Empire of Zakuul, a powerful new faction hailing from a region in space not fully explored. This new Empire reveals itself to the galaxy, wages war against both the Republic and the Sith Empire... and WINS!! Thus beginning the Fallen Empire storyline. |

No stars in sight: During the Vroengard arc, the eponymous island becomes the center of a four-way struggle between the Imperial Cabal (led by Ikharos), the Scorn (led by the Locus of Communion), the Lucent Hive (consisting of just Skuldu and Agnisia), and Cuaroc. As this goes on, you also have Zendolyn-Far acting as a Wild Card and Formora getting caught in the middle of it all. Aside from Zendolyn and the Scorn, who aren't aware they're on the same side due to a case of Right Hand Versus Left Hand, each faction stands in direct opposition to everyone else's goals. | |

Several of the battles in Devil Survivor are like this, and frequently let you choose to intervene on one side or another. In one particularly complex example on Day 6, you have to intervene to stop some demon tamers from escaping the barricade in the midst of a fight between several angels and demons. You can choose to fight either the angels, the demons, or both; meanwhile both the angels and demons will try to kill the tamers before you can defeat them and remove them from battle, resulting in a game over. | |

Mercenaries vs. Trigens vs. Jack, Val and Doyle in Far Cry. The level "Rebellion" showcases it best, when Jack has to go through battle sites between the Trigens and the Mercs, and can be targeted by both if he doesn't wait for one side to be wiped out. | |

Late into Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga, shortly after the arrival of Trigger Dark, Ultraman Trigger fights him and while still battling his counterpart, a new monster of Hudram's arrives: Metsu-Orga, who goes on a rampage to devour everything in sight, Ultraman Trigger and Trigger Dark included. For most of the battle the two Ultras spends as much time beating up each other as they did fighting Metsu-Orga, but eventually they have to put aside their differences when Metsu-Orga morphs into its One-Winged Angel form: Metsu-Orochi. | |

This is very much a thing of the Heisei (post-2000) series of Kamen Rider starting from Kamen Rider Ryuki as mentioned below. Multiple riders make for some very complicated conflicts sometimes. Considering that every rider in Ryuki and its US counterpart Kamen Rider Dragon Knight has their own motivation and goal, this is bound to happen. It's even the whole point of Ryuki in nutshell. | |

Super Mario Bros.: Mario Party is in essence a four player free-for-all (at least in a standard game), but for the minigame at the end of each turn, teams are determined by the color of the space they landed on, leading to basically random and constantly changing 2v2 and 1v3 alliances, as well as free-for-alls if everyone lands on the same color. To a lesser degree, because Bowser is a more minor threat, Mario and Luigi vs. the Shroobs vs. Baby Bowser in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, and Mario vs. the X-Nauts vs. Bowser and Kammy Koopa vs. Beldam and the Shadow Queen in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. |

The Synchro Dimension arc of Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V has multiple factions warring against each other. The first are the Lancers, the main characters, who came to the Synchro Dimension to rally people against the second faction, Academia. Academia has kidnapped people who are important to their plot while turning people into cards and using their souls for their grand scheme. A third faction is introduced in this arc: Jean-Michel Roget and his Security. He defected from Academia and has worked his way into a position of power in the Synchro Dimension, and fights the other two factions to keep them from getting in the way of his own power. A fourth faction exists in the city council, who Roget works under. Roget wants to overthrow them and take more power for himself, while the city council only acts to preserve their own interests. They hinder all other sides and only side with the Lancers in the end when they offer them protection from Academia and Roget. | |

And put in with all the ever-shifting alliances and loyalties, backstabbings and betrayals Game of Thrones style to go with it. | |

In Girl Genius, you have: Agatha and her friends, plus (now) Castle Heterodyne and all the Jägermonsters. Baron Wulfenbach and his army (with Gilgamesh torn between this side and Agatha's). House Sturmvoraus (with Tarvek being of dubious allegiance, and possibly choosing Agatha's side). Also, the multiple branches of the family are constantly schisming, re-aligning, and betraying each other. Zola and the conspiracy backing her. This started out being part of the Sturmvoraus plan, but appears to no longer be under the control of any known family members. The Other and her minions. Othar Tryggvassen, GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER. And many others, including any power-hungry Spark that would get involved. It doesn't simplify things that The Other, Lucrezia, is currently inhabiting Agatha's body. The best illustration of a Mêlée à Trois, though, would certainly be this page. In one arc there's at least seven different factions fighting for control of Mechanicsburg, and word is more are on their way. |

The Testament of Sister New Devil: The Tournament Arc begins as a way to resolve a Civil War between incumbent Demon Lord Leohart and a "moderate faction" led by Rasmus that backs deuteragonist Mio Naruse's claim (she's the daughter of the previous Demon Lord; Rasmus is his elder brother). However, it quickly turns into this, as the demon realm's Council (either Cabinet or Parliament to the Demon Lord) is trying to use the conflict to increase its power so that no matter which side of the war loses, they win. Leohart wants to take them down, after securing his throne against the moderate faction. Basara, Mio, and Rasmus ultimately join forces with Leohart to defeat the Council. | |

Multiple times in the Gundam multiverse: Zeta Gundam: Titans vs. Axis Zeon vs. AEUG. The most memorable of the Free for Alls, homages of this set-up continue down to Gundam 00. Gundam ZZ briefly dabbled in AEUG vs. Zeon vs. Blue Team during one episode, but that was quickly swept away once the titular mech showed up. However, at the end of the series, it does essentially become a showdown between the AEUG, Neo Zeon, and Glemmy Toto's faction of Neo Zeon. Crossbone Gundam: Ghost has a confusing four-way battle erupt among the Crossbone Vanguard, the Zanscare Empire, ThouCus, and the League Militaire at one point. Gundam Wing: Gundam Team vs. World Nation vs. White Fang. Though eventually, the Gundams decide to side with the World Nation, mainly because White Fang is the actual threat. Though Wufei ended up fighting Treize, the World Nation's leader, anyway. Gundam X: Vultures vs. New United Nations Earth vs. Space Revolutionary Army Gundam SEED: ZAFT vs. Earth Alliance vs. Orb the Three Ships Alliance Subverted in Gundam SEED Destiny, in which, in the final episodes, ZAFT defeated the Earth Alliance, and after that, the Three Ships Alliance defeats ZAFT. Gundam 00: At the start of the series, the main conflict would be between the three major power blocs of the Union, the HRL, and the AEU. Also known in modern times as the United States, Communist Russia and China, and the European Union, but mostly actually just small conflicts in the Middle East in countries supported but not formally belonging to any one of these and no major war. After everyone gets GN Drives the first season winds up to be Celestial Being (with Aeolia Schenberg/Sumeragi Lee Noriega as "proxy") vs. Thrones (Alejandro Corner, but really Ribbons Almark) vs. everybody else (UN Forces). It's interesting because it kind of goes back to being a Mexican Standoff considering that this season ended in a complete STALEMATE. Remember,while the Thrones and Corner himself did die, Ribbons was controlling them. It's his set-up of A-Laws that begin the second season. Celestial Being didn't get wiped out, they build new Gundams for the second season, and the regular military gets left alone, which doesn't matter as they're the weaker force that's just happy to be there. In the second season, after the timeskip, and especially after the endgame really gets going, you can see that the entire season has interconnecting melees. The main story arc is essentially the continuation of the first season with Celestial Being and Regene Regetta vs. A-Laws read Fucking Ribbons and The Innovators vs. everyone else (Earth Federation (the "Regular" army with Smirnoff and Mannequin calling the shots, serving the Kingmaker role). However, the B story is Katharon vs. A-Laws (SPECIFICALLY. No Ribbons) vs. Celestial Being, and in that specific order because Katharon and Celestial Being were technically not allies unless A-Laws did something stupid, and even then, it was because global catastrophe would ensue otherwise. A variant of this exists twice in Gundam AGE. First, we have Zalam and Euba fighting each other, with Flit fighting to stop Zalam and Euba from fighting, and later we have the Diva's crew who wants to destroy the UE, the corrupt Earth Government who wants to capture Grodek and the Diva, and the UE who just seems to be killing everyone they see mercilessly... You can make the point that Flit, Asemu and Kio do this ideologically since while both Asemu and Kio disagree with Flit's kill-em-all attitude about the UE, Kio doesn't agree with Asemu. And they're family that each have their own personalized Gundam and backing army. (Literally. Diva Crew, Bisidian and Abis Team/Algreus, respectively]] for Chrissakes! If it weren't for the fact that the entire goddamn thing was an Ezelcant setup from the very start that provides some very convenient enemies who are in fact the VICTIMS they'd be at blows themselves. The closest it gets to this is in the infamous Girard Sprigan arc where Asemu intrudes on a battle between the Earth Forces and Vagan in order to settle his personal score with Zeheart. The Earth Forces have him flagged as hostile and Flit tells him to get lost and not get involved in their business but when he shows he's willing to cooperate Flit relents and lets the three Gundam's team up. Gundam: Reconguista in G does this all over the place; fans have counted at least six or seven different factions, each with their own objectives. Alliances are formed, fall apart, and shift on a near episode-by-episode basis, and is further confused by the antics of various double agents. The primary conflict, however, is the Earth nation of Ameria vs the also Earth-based Capitol Tower vs the space nation of Towasanga. |

About two thirds of the way through Death Note, following the end of the original Light vs. L feud, two new characters are introduced: Near, replacing L as the new mind-gaming uber-sleuth, and Mello, a criminal mastermind. All three have very good reasons to eliminate the other two, although Near and Mello's relationship is a tad more confusing, and Light treats the whole thing as an extension of fighting L. | |

By the end of Act I in Tyranny, you have one of these on your hands between the Disfavored (Empire-aligned, honorful warriors, elite army), the Scarlet Chorus (also Empire-aligned, army of thieves and whores, the horde) and the Rebellion, which is split into even more sub-faction that might or might not get along. Made even more complicated by a number of neutral groups that just want to be left alone, such as the beast people tribes, those that are mostly in it for the money (the Bronze Brotherhood), and the Court of Fatebinders, which is the judicial part of the Empire and the faction the player belongs to initially. The player then can ally with either of the main factions, support them while trying to stay neutral in their role of fatebinder, or betray everyone and start their own anarchist faction. | |

Lost was, for its first three seasons, a conflict between the Oceanic flight 815 crash survivors and the mysterious Others. However, the survivors essentially wiped out the Others in the season 3 finale, just as the third combatant, a freighter with a mercenary team sent to kill everyone on the island, arrived. Both the survivors and the Others had separate conflicts with the freighter, though by the end of season 4 the survivors and Others had teamed up and successfully repelled the freighter. | |

In Darker than Black, just about every intelligence agency in the world is out for every other one's blood, which is only exacerbated by the activities of The Syndicate and PANDORA. And then Evening Primrose gets involved, making the already Gray-and-Gray Morality into an even more tangled mess. Things do not get any easier in the second season, either, where we have the CIA, MI6, Japanese special forces, bits of The Syndicate, and Madame Oreille all playing their own games with what's going on, plus messages left by Amber, making her a postmortem chessmaster. | |

Monster Hunter: World introduces Turf Wars where two large monsters enter the same area and get into an epic clash of the titans. Anjanath vs. Rathalosnote Rathalos picks up Anjanath and drops him, Barroth vs. Diablosnote Diablos bulls the charging Barroth aside like it's nothing, Odogaron vs. Paolumunote Odogaron jumps up at Paolumu and ferociously slams it into the floor, Deviljho vs. everyonenote being Deviljho it wins against everything (except Bazelgeuse which it still overpowers and only is forced to drop it because of its explosive scales), are just a few examples. These battles are not only cool for the hunters to watch, but it gives them an opening to wail on the monsters while they're busy, plus monster-on-monster damage is buffed so hundreds of points of damage can be inflicted as a result of these fights. | |

In the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Beware the Creeper", the Joker and Harley Quinn are trying to take down the Creeper, since the Joker feels that he's ruining his "act". The Creeper is trying to get revenge on the Joker (and seduce Harley) for turning him into the Creeper. Batman and Robin are trying to stop all of them from causing even more chaos than they already have. | |

Animorphs: The Ellimist Chronicles has Ellimist, now a Living Ship, arrive in a star system where two non-FTL-capable species are fighting a war. When he reveals himself to them, one side immediately attacks him and the other takes it as an opportunity for a flanking attack. Ellimist, a Higher-Tech Species, nonlethally disables both groups of ships and attempts to mediate a truce. The three-way conflict between Visser Threenote Esplin 9466, Visser Onenote Edriss 562, and the Animorphs lasts most of the series, reaching a climax in the Interquel novel VISSER. Both Vissers want to conquer Earth for the Yeerk Empire, but Visser Three (who's actually in charge of carrying it out) favors open warfare, while Visser One pushes for a secret invasion so her children don't get killed in the crossfire. The Animorphs play both of them off each other, especially Marco (whose mom is Visser One's host), and it gets to the point that Visser One (who knows the Animorphs are human but kept that to herself since keeping it secret would discredit Visser Three)calls Marco for help during her trial in VISSER. The endgame of the series also turns into this. The former Visser Three (now Visser One after Edriss's death) has moved to open warfare after discovering the Animorphs are human and forcing them into hiding. Tom's Yeerk, once he gets the morphing cube, is nominally loyal to the Empire but secretly starts assembling his own faction of morph-capable Controllers. In the penultimate book, he approaches the Animorphs with a deal: the codes to get into the Pool Ship, in exchange for letting him and 100 of his faction escape in the Blade Ship. Of course, Jake correctly guesses that he has no intention of letting them live and plans to destroy the Pool Ship with both them and the Visser on it. The Taxxon Resistance, seeing the potential of morphing, make their own deal with the Animorphs to fight with themnote provide a distraction, really in exchange for all being allowed to morph anacondas to escape their Horror Hunger once the war is over. And then the Andalite military '''finally''' shows up, after letting the Animorphs fight all on their own for three years, once the Animorphs have Esplin in custody. It's only thanks to that victory, the cultural experience and military cred of Ax and the newly-freed Alloran, and Jake's political savvy, that they prevent them from razing the Earth and win the right to make their own terms of surrender for the Yeerks. |

GET THAT PIZZA!: Exaggerated. Literally everyone is against each other, and anyone will hurt anyone else to get the pizza. Subverted with Bluethorn, DrNoPuma, and TropesForever, who eventually formed their own alliance when it came time for them to post after each other.note This is because their players are such close friends that they didn't want to hurt each other even in a fictional setting. | |

The Spectacular Spider-Man: Gang lords auction on a disc with the key to New York. This leads to a battle between Spidey, Hammerhead, Silver Sable, Rhino, and Roderick Kingsley, the guy who actually bought the disc. The winner of the fight? Norman Osborn, who sold Kingsley a fake disc knowing it would never survive the ensuing chaos, and now has all the money Kingsley gave him and the real disc. Also, the brawl between Tombstone, Doc Ock, and Silvermane in "Gangland" with Spidey watching from the side, only getting involved to prevent collateral damage. The villains form a (very) brief alliance to take him down, but Tombstone turns on them to maintain his image, as he couldn't be seen in public siding with the bad guys. The winner? Norman Osborn again as his main rivals were arrested, or in the case of Tombstone had their assets severely crippled. |

My Hero Academia: The Overhaul arc of culminates in the heroes attacking Shie Hassaikai, who have entered in an alliance with the League of Villains or so it seems; Tomura Shigaraki sent Twice and Toga to infiltrate the yakuza and then betray them to the heroes as revenge for Overhaul killing one of Shigaraki's followers and daring to speak down to the villain, and ultimately gets the last laugh when he ambushes and cripples Overhaul as he's being sent to jail by the victorious heroes. The Meta Liberation Army arc culminates in a final battle with Shigaraki's League of Villains vs the titular terrorist group vs Gigantomachia (who's normally allied to the League but has been fighting them due to feeling Shigaraki is an Inadequate Inheritor to former leader All for One). |

Fisk eventually takes Dex out of the equation by breaking his spine, so it's just him and Matt now. | |

The story of Heroes of Might and Magic: A Strategic Quest is that three sides are battling it over who'll become ruler of Enroth when a noble stumbles through a portal from another world and starts a fourth faction with the same goal. That noble is the canonical victor. There are many maps featuring three or more factions clashing, although the factions being large enough that the clashes can persist over multiple missions is rarer after I. One exception is in III, where the neutral campaign ends with your mercenaries triggering a border war between Tatalia and Krewlod after you helped both of them expand their borders at Erathia's expense enough that only a thin strip of land separates them, with remaining Erathian forces acting as a third force. Then in the second good campaign you get sent in with a joint Bracadan-Erathian force to expel both Tatalia and Krewlod from their occupied land while they continue to fight one-another. |

Command & Conquer: Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge downplays this. The only actual three-way battle between the Allies, Soviets, and Yuri occurs in the first mission (either the Allies use their time machine to travel back to the beginning of the war, fighting off the initial Soviet invasion then moving to take out Yuri's Psychic Dominator, or the Soviets capture the machine from the Allies, then go back in time with it to destroy the Dominator), and even then whoever uses the time machine still focuses on taking out the other faction first before paying much mind to Yuri. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 has the Allies vs the Soviets vs the Empire of the Rising Sun. Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars has the plot start of with a traditional war with the Brotherhood of Nod staring an assault on the GDI Blue Zones after Nod disables Goddard Space Center and nukes the defenseless GDS Philedelphia space station. However, through deliberate plotting by Kane (supreme leader of Nod), the GDI forces take the bait Kane left them and are manipulated into firing their Ion Cannon upon the desired target, which alerts the Scrin to invade Earth and turns the war into controlled free for all. This is all according to Kane's grand scheme so that he can capture Scrin technology for his longterm goals agenda, and without any of the others realizing it. The Scrin even make note in their campaign over how odd it is that GDI and Nod continue to skirmish with one another at every chance even with the presence of what should be a common enemy. In the mission "Operation Stiletto" as Nod, the GDI and Scrin are launching full scale assaults against each other and you have to make sure they don't completely destroy each other while you capture each other's construction yards. |

Diplomacy features seven sides, and the only good way to get an advantage is by convincing other players to join with you in ganging up on somebody else. Since the rules are explicitly designed to allow you to lie to other players about what you are going to do in your next move, things quickly get crazy. Many players have remarked that playing Diplomacy is a good way to ruin friendships. And that's just the original; many variants can have up to eleven players, but these boards tend not to be as balanced as the original, so some countries are doomed from the start unless the player is exceptionally good. |

The Elder Scrolls: In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Skyrim finds itself in the middle of three different wars: an active war between the Cyrodilic Empire and the Stormcloaks, a cold war between the Empire and the Thalmor, and everyone versus the dragons. One of the missions you can elect to take during the main mission chain is to call a meeting between the three factions to get them to stop their fighting and accept a truce in order to fight the dragons. Meanwhile, the Forsworn want to kill all the Nords in one part of Skyrim and Harkon's vampires want to make the sun never rise again in order to rule over the mortal world. And to top it all off, the player themselves can be a force to be reckoned with, following their own agenda, if they so wish. Before that, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion featured seven specially named goblin tribes whose lairs contain totem staves, which the player can steal and give to another tribe to provoke a war. The only time most players encounter this mechanic is a sidequest where a farmstead placed right between the caves of two warring goblin tribes asks the player to stop them fighting nearby. The players' options range wildly here, from wiping one or both tribes out, returning the staff one tribe stole from the other, or stealing them both yourself and dropping them somewhere else to simply move the fighting. The Elder Scrolls Online has the Aldmeri Dominion (High Elves, Wood Elves and Khajiit) vs. the Ebonheart Pact (Nords, Dark Elves and Argonians) vs. the Daggerfall Covenant (Orcs, Bretons and Redguards). Naturally, PVP devolves into this quickly. |

A Song of Ice and Fire features a great number of factions fighting each other, each with their own point of view justifying their actions. This is most overt in the War of the Five Kings, which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Even after that war grinds down, new factions rise up or splinter away. While there were technically five kings in total, only four were active at any one time for Renly was slain before Balon Greyjoy crowned himself. |

Devil May Cry: In Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, the conflict between Dante, Vergil and Lady, until Arkham de-allied with Vergil and led the Sons of Sparda to work together against him, while Dante Befriended Lady shortly as well. In Devil May Cry 4, there are actually three factions: the Player Characters Dante and Nero, the Order of the Sword, and the Demons. When you're in a battle with enemies from both enemy factions, they will occasionally attack each other instead of Dante/Nero if you stand back long enough and watch the carnage. You're given hints about this situation in Mission 9 when two Assault enemies that were introduced in the last mission jump past and ignore Nero to attack the two Bianco Angelos guarding the Order of the Sword HQ, only to be killed effortlessly as part of an introduction for the Alto Angelo enemies and later in Mission 12 when Fortuna comes under attack, and the Savior and its army of Bianco and Alto Angelos come in to attack the Mephisto army. |

One Piece: Ladies and gentlemen... The Battle of Marineford. Whitebeard and his entire fleet set to attack Marine Headquarters, where the Admirals, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and all the important Marines have gathered. Luffy had brought in the Impel Down convicts, among them Crocodile, Buggy, and Jimbei, with the former two not feeling any particular loyalty to him. Meanwhile, Hancock attacks everyone, be it Pirates or Marines, without prejudice. Luffy had a chat with Whitebeard and while they do not work against each other, they do not work together. Luffy also basically declared his hostilities towards Whitebeard even as he protected him from Crocodile, who attacked him because he defeated Crocodile in the past and Crocodile wants revenge. The remaining Seven Warlords are all practically factions in themselves. It's hard to tell just how many factions actually fight, and for whom. In the end, another faction, the Blackbeard Pirates, shows up so that Blackbeard can take Whitebeard's power and use it to destroy Marineford, and yet another faction, Shanks and his Red Hair Pirates, shows up shortly after to end the war by basically threatening that his fresh crew will beat down the exhausted survivors if they keep fighting. All in all, there are at least five different factions, with individuals breaking off from their group to do their own thing in the middle of all of this. The Survival Game in Skypiea is a struggle between three factions; the Straw Hats, who want the gold, the Shandians, who want to reclaim their homeland, and Eneru's minions, who want to see who is worthy to go to Endless Vearth. The Ordeal of Iron features Zoro and Gan Fall vs. Wyper and the Shandians vs. Ohm and the Enforcers vs. a giant snake that swallowed Luffy, Nami, and Aisa. In the Water 7 Arc, while Luffy and Franky are fighting each other over their respective grudges (Luffy has a grudge against Franky for attacking and robbing Usopp, while Franky wants revenge against Luffy for destroying his house), the Galley-La shipwrights attack Luffy because they believe he sent Robin to shoot Iceberg, and attack Franky for getting in the way, as he doesn't appreciate their taking on Luffy. In the Dressrosa arc a fight takes place in Greem Bit between Law, Fujitora, and Doflamingo. Later in the same arc, the fighting eventually boils down to the Straw Hats and their allies (including the Revolutionaries) who want to take down Doflamingo, the Donquixote Pirates who want their enemies dead, the Marines who want to capture the Straw Hats and Doflamingo's crew and stop the whole mess and the confused citizens who are trying to survive by capturing people on Doflamingo's blacklist. |

Pokémon: The Hoenn games (Ruby and Sapphire and their remakes) feature two villainous teams instead of just one: Team Aqua and Team Magma. The two have opposing goals (Team Aqua wants to flood the world for the benefit of water-types, while Team Magma wants to eliminate the oceans for the benefit of ground-types), and of course the player wants neither team to succeed. Typically the Aqua/Magma conflicts play out off-screen (since watching them fight would just slow down the game), but the animosity is present from the start and by the end when the Olympus Mons get into play, it's something of a free-for-all. Downplayed in Kalos, wherein horde battles (five wild Pokémon encountered at once) are typically player-against-wild, but every so often a Zangoose or Seviper (mortal enemies) will wind up in a horde with each other, and they'll attack each other as well as the player. Which is tricky, because it's the only way to get a Zangoose or Seviper, depending on the version you're playing, so you've got to stop the others from killing it if you want to catch it, not to mention stop them from killing you. Alola introduces the Battle Royal battle format, wherein four competitors engage in a one-on-one-on-one-on-one fight which ends as soon as the first person's Pokémon faints, rather than being to the last person standing. |

In another, the Disciples release a Godzilla-like mutated Rancor to ravage a city, but it begins eating them just as surely as it will chase you. That doesn't stop the cultists from attacking you while you're trying to run away from the danged thing before it breaks down the wall between you and it and kills everyone on the other side. | |

In Myth: The Fallen Lords, mission 9, Seven Gates, the forces of light decide to take advantage of an Enemy Civil War and send a task force to kill an enemy Shade (an undead wizard-commander) while the thralls of two of the Fallen Lords are infighting. They still see you as an enemy though, and you will have to carefully pick up fights if you don't want to be between the hammer and the anvil, or even lure different enemy units to kill each other. | |

Splatoon 3 changes up the series’ signature Splatfests by making them be contested between three teams instead of two. For the first half, this means your matches are between your team and one of the other two teams chosen at random. The second half on the other hand, gives players the option of Tricolour Battles, which feature players from all three teams. The defending team gets a full group of four, while the two attacking teams get two players each. To make up for the number disadvantage, the two losing teams can compete for an "Ultra Signal" which, if claimed, will allow the Deep Cut member sponsoring their team to provide covering fire with a Sprinkler of Doom. Both attacking teams benefit so long as the defending team doesn't win the match, but the fact that the team that inked the most turf gets bonus points downplays any Enemy Mine scenarios. | |

This happened in the two melee matches in the first round of each heat during the 4th, 6th and 7th series of Robot Wars, with the contestants thrown into the arena in two groups to cut the numbers down to four so the survivors could be paired off against each other in the second round. In the 4th Wars there were two 3-way fights with the first robot knocked out eliminated, while in the 6th and 7th Wars there were four robots in each melee with half of the eight contestants being eliminated at once (the 3rd and 5th Wars instead had four one-on-one fights in the first round, while the first two series instead used the Gauntlet and the Trials to eliminate two of the contestants before the battle stage even started). Taken to extremes in the Annihilator episodes, where six robots were thrown into the ring at once and battled until one was eliminated, over and over until at the end of five rounds there was only one robot left standing. | |

In Iji, the conflict eventually becomes Iji vs. Tasen vs. Komato. Of course, the Komato outgun the Tasen completely, and eventually the Tasen either end up siding with a pacifistic Iji who promises to keep the few safe and very likely makes good on it with Tor of the Komato, or the Tasen are killed to a man and Iji instead just tries to talk Tor out of Alpha Striking the remains. | |

After the (entirely satirical) feud between The Angry Video Game Nerd and The Nostalgia Critic got really heated, the Critic busted in on one of the Nerd's autograph signings. Also, there was fellow Internet personality Captain S, who wasn't involved with the feud at all but invited himself in anyway, resulting in a slow-motion three-way brawl in the parking lot that simultaneously spoofed The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Rocky V. It kind of has to be seen to be believed. | |

In Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally, most of the battles involving Nunnally have this, with Britannia trying to suppress the Japanese, the Japanese trying to defeat Britannia, and Nunnally trying to stop the violence. |

Both PlanetSide games take place in the middle of a Forever War between three splinter factions - the oppressive Terran Republic remnant, the corporate New Conglomerate rebels, and the transhuman Vanu Sovereignty cultists. Because of the Ancient Vanu nanite sequencing system, anyone killed is shortly re-assembled inside a facility spawn tube, leading to the endless slaughter. Fights over bases in both games often have the defenders blasting at another empire on one side... and the other empire attacking in the opposite direction (with both invaders shooting each other and the defenders at the same time). The areas between bases often turn into deadlocks between two empires until the third empire barges in for some kills. | |

A Brief History of Equestria: The Lake Trot Crisis started as the Celestine Junta attacking the Hyracotherium Republic and Kingdom of Unicorns for control of said lake. Then Wind Whistler kicked off her coup, which led to the troops loyal to her attacking those loyal to Sullamander; both the Earth ponies and unicorns decided to take advantage of this to take more territory for themselves, and started attacking each other as well as the pegasi. The Winter War wasn't supposed to be one of these — nominally, the Republic and Kingdom were allied against the Junta. However, only the Royal army obeyed that; the nobility's mercenary forces splintered, with only some fighting the Junta, some fighting the Republic and some fighting everyone for the sake of riches. |

Happens on two separate occasions in the Jak and Daxter series. In Jak II: Renegade, which focuses on the three-way struggle between the Underground Resistance, Baron Praxis and the KG, and the Metal Heads. In Jak 3: Wastelander, Haven City becomes a war zone between the resurgent Metal Heads, the Freedom League, and the army of KG robots led by a cybernetically-revived Erol, and that's not even bringing Spargus or the Dark Makers into the mix. |

This is part of the draw of Magic: The Gathering's Commander format. Up to four players, each trying to beat the other three with large amounts of short-term alliances, politicking, deception and backstabbing, each with higher than normal starting life totals and each with a deck consisting of one "commander" and 99 cards which all have to be distinct from one another outside of basic lands, and since the cards can be from anywhere in the game's history there are limitless ways in which the players can screw each other over, leading to long, convoluted Gambit Pileups compared to one-on-one tournament formats. There's even sets, fittingly titled Conspiracy, that promote this environment, set on a plane on which basically the same backstabbing and espianoge takes place on a daily basis in-universe. | |

One mission in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War briefly descends into this, with the Allied Forces intercepting a group of Belkan bombers and escorts, only for a second group of Belkans to show up and open fire on the first group to try to prevent them from dropping their nuclear payload. The latter group won't target you, but you can still shoot them down if you want extra money and don't care about being seen as a moral-less merc. | |

Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy has several examples in different levels, with the player character being the third party. One level has Imperial Remnant stormtroopers fighting Noghri assassins left behind by Darth Vader, both also hostile to you. In another, the Disciples release a Godzilla-like mutated Rancor to ravage a city, but it begins eating them just as surely as it will chase you. That doesn't stop the cultists from attacking you while you're trying to run away from the danged thing before it breaks down the wall between you and it and kills everyone on the other side. Most notably, the final levels have the Jedi and students from Luke Skywalker's academy fighting the Disciples of Ragnos. If you've chosen to play the Dark Side, the Jedi will sense your evil and attack you as well. This leads to a number of different Mêlée à Trois situations. |

In Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes: Several fights can involve a three-way between your group, the enemy army, and a giant monster that will kill anything that gets in its way. While this sort of fight is usually restricted to a Side Quest in regular missions where you can ignore the giant monster in favor of defeating the enemy army, auxiliary missions have this as their defacto scenario, often with two or more giant monsters before an enemy army suddenly shows up to attack. On the Scarlet Blaze route, if you kill Jeralt in Chapter 10, Byleth later convinces Claude to double-cross Edelgard during the fight in the Valley of Torment, turning what should have been a united front against the Kingdom of Faerghus and Church of Seiros into a free-for-all with the Adrestian Empire, Faerghus/Church, Leicester Alliance, and Byleth all fighting for their own purposes. The final mission of the Scarlet Blaze route has the Empire, the Church, and the Agarthans all fighting each other in Garreg Mach and the Final Boss being a Dual Boss against Rhea and Thales together who are also taking potshots at each other the whole time, rather than just being one or the other on the other routes. |

Super Robot Wars W has it across several missions, due to the fact that there are multiple villainous factions. While the Earth/human-based organizations (like Amalgam, the Mariemeia Army and the Jovian Federation) are sometimes willing to ally with each other (albeit only until the other has served their purpose), the alien ones (the Galra Empire, the Radam, the Evoluted or the Zonderians) will more often prioritize destroying one another instead of the heroes. On every mission the player faces two villain factions that aren't allied with each other, they'll be represented by red and yellow units. | |

The Ultra Series tends to have these happening when two Kaiju shows up and fight each other over territorial dispute, and the Ultra of the show trying to prevent them from doing further damage. Return of Ultraman have the predator kaiju, Gudon, attacking its prey, Twin Tail, and Ultraman Jack fighting them simultaneously, twice, in a two-part episode. Firstly in the big city, which ended in a stalemate when all 3 combatants are too exhausted to continue and are forced to retreat, then later in a construction site in which Gudon mauls Twin Tail to death, before getting defeated by Ultraman Jack. Averted a couple of episodes earlier featuring the two duelling kaijus, Detton and Sadola. The moment Jack shows up, both kaijus put their differences aside and gangs up on Jack. Ultraman Taro have another predator kaiju, Birdon attacking its prey, Kemjila, and Ultraman Taro getting in between them. It didn't end well, because Taro ends up getting killed by Birdon while fighting Kemjila, and Kemjila ends up getting killed soon after. An earlier and downplayed example in the original show, Ultraman features two ancient monsters, Banila and Aboras which are arch-enemies, fighting in a stadium while the Science Patrol tries to destroy both monsters from the sidelines. The Science Patrol decides to focus their attack on Banila until Aboras had the upper hand, killing Banila with its Acid Spit. By the time Ultraman shows up to deal with Aboras its strictly one-on-one. Ultraman Mebius has a Mythology Gag to Return of Ultraman in an episode bringing back Gudon and Twin Tail, and once again they're fighting each other. However, the fight is soon interrupted by new villain Bogar who reveals her monstrous form. The three monsters fought each other briefly, but it quickly ends with Bogar devouring both Gudon and Twin Tail. Late into Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga, shortly after the arrival of Trigger Dark, Ultraman Trigger fights him and while still battling his counterpart, a new monster of Hudram's arrives: Metsu-Orga, who goes on a rampage to devour everything in sight, Ultraman Trigger and Trigger Dark included. For most of the battle the two Ultras spends as much time beating up each other as they did fighting Metsu-Orga, but eventually they have to put aside their differences when Metsu-Orga morphs into its One-Winged Angel form: Metsu-Orochi. |

Tomodachi Game contains several instances of multiple sides intellectually (or sometimes physically) fighting against each other. The most notable instances include the Gambling arc, where four different groups of people gamble against each other (although this mostly results in a series of one vs one or two vs two fights instead of full on battle royales), and the Friends Murder Arc where several people and groups are scheming against each other to feed the enemy players to the "money zombies," and of course, everyone is also trying to avoid the money zombies themselves. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog: The final boss of Sonic Adventure sees Perfect Chaos break free of Eggman's reins after obtaining the power of all seven Chaos Emeralds. Eggman tries to stop it himself but only ends up with another destroyed Egg Carrier on his hands before Super Sonic steps in and cleans up the mess. The entirety of Shadow the Hedgehog is one huge war between G.U.N./Sonic Heroes, the Black Arms, the Eggman Empire, and the titular hedgehog himself, who can side with whoever the player wants to. Bizarrely, the Mooks from each side still attack you even if you're allegedly on their side. Which your follower doesn't seem to notice, as evidenced by their What the Hell, Player? reaction when you fight back to defend yourself. The True Final Boss of Sonic Mania pits Super Sonic against Eggman and the leader of the Hard-Boiled Heavies, Heavy King, in the middle of a tug-of-war between Eggman and Heavy King over the Phantom Ruby. The battle is fought as a Dual Boss where Sonic fights both of them, each of them trading places whenever the other is hit. |

Spider-Man sometimes gets in between certain Anti-Heroes. He stops Ghost Rider from killing the Demonic Hobgoblin, and then later tries to stop the Demogoblin from killing the depowered Hobgoblin. None of the parties like the others. Then there is the 2006 story involving all three versions of Mysterio, one of whom is (un)dead at the time. Half an issue into Eddie Brock's transformation into Anti-Venom, we get a three-way fight between him, Spidey, and the then-current Venom (Scorpion). Spidey and Anti-Venom soon realize they're more or less on the same side and gang up on Mac, but not before Peter quips: |

White Sheep (RWBY): The Battle of Haven has six different factions with ten different goals. The White Fang under the Albain brothers just want to cause death and destruction. The White Fang under Sienna want to stop the other White Fang faction. Ozpin and Qrow simply want to escape to collect the relics. Cinder wants to kill Raven. Raven's faction wants to kill everyone. Tyrian and Sapphire want to kill Qrow. Coral wants to sleep with Qrow. The SDC and Emerald are simply trying to survive. And lastly, the members of teams RYBN and WRJP and Sun are just trying to regroup and head to the Grimmlands. The whole situation is Played for Laughs as people repeatedly attack allies (or at least non-enemies) on accident since no one can keep track of what's going on. It finally ends with Jaune summoning a Grimm dragon, which Weiss uses to threaten everyone into sitting down and shutting up. The dragon then spends the rest of the time following Weiss around like a puppy. | |

In the Naruto fic Hakumei, the heroes return to Konoha to help La Résistance rebel against Danzou... on the same day as the Sand/Sound Invasion, which occurs more or less as in canon. No one realized in advance that there was more than one conspiracy ongoing, so the eventual three-way battle is not good for anyone's plans. Sasuke said it best when they found out that Itachi and Kisame were there too. | |

Has happened more than once in the various Super Sentai and Power Rangers series. It's a sort of tradition to have The Dragon interrupt a Monster of the Week about to win so he can beat the Ranger(s) himself. Whether this results in a Mêlée à Trois or not varies from series to series. Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger redefines the concept, with Rangers fighting each other as well as the monsters. Time will tell if cops Rangers and thieves Rangers will finally team up. | |

Fate/stay night: The Holy Grail War is fashioned as one: seven Masters, their eventual associates, seven Servants. To reach the end of the War and fully open the path to the Holy Grail, all seven Servants must ultimately die. The Master's death is not required, but killing a Master is the fastest way to dispose of a Servant who doesn't have the Independent Action skill. A Servant who survives their Master's death long enough can take a new contract, and under some conditions a Master can have a contract with more than one Servant. | |

Danny's prime target is Technus, though he has to shake Valerie off without hurting her. Valerie primary aims for Danny, though being a ghost hunter, she would eventually have aimed for Technus. Technus concentrated more on world dominating, but he would have warded off both of them as he attempted throughout the episode. |

Pirates of the Caribbean: All of the movies have some point or another where this sort of thing happens. It's almost always Pirates vs. other Pirates vs. navy soldiers from Britain or Spain. Or all of them against Jack Sparrow, because he's just so likable. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl: The crew of the Black Pearl vs. James Norrington and the British vs. Will Turner and Sparrow. Until Sparrow starts betraying everyone, and it seems to all almost work out in the end. Turner betrays Norrington to make sure it does. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: Will Turner vs. Jack Sparrow vs. James Norrington, with Elizabeth standing disgusted on the sidelines. Notably, does not feature two of the sides joining temporarily. Unless you count Will and Norrington both attacking Jack and ducking out of each other's way, but that doesn't last long. There are also Davy Jones' crews who have come to recover the title chest while the three is busy fighting, and it's up to Elizabeth to team up with Pintel and Ragetti to keep it out of their hands. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End: At the beginning we have: Barbossa's pirates vs. British Redcoats vs. Sao Feng's pirates, but the two illegal factions quickly postpone their differences for a later date. Later on, after Davy Jones breaks free of Lord Beckett, this leads to the Jack's Black Pearl crew vs. Davy Jones' Flying Dutchman crew, and Beckett's British Navy forces. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides: Blackbeard's crew vs. Barbossa's crew vs. the Spanish for control of the Fountain of Youth, with Jack caught in the middle once again. |

Happens sometimes in Epic Rap Battles of History with a third person dropping by to smack both contestants: Steve Jobs vs. Bill Gates vs. HAL 9000 Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney vs. Abraham Lincoln Ghostbusters vs. Mythbusters vs. The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Exaggerated in "Rasputin vs. Stalin" which was first interrupted by Lenin, then by Gorbachev and then by Putin, each dissing out all previous contestants. Also exaggerated in "Steven Spielberg vs. Alfred Hitchcock", where the battle keeps getting interrupted by Quentin Tarantino, Stanley Kubrick, and Michael Bay. Played straight in "John Wick vs. John Rambo vs. John McClane", the first rap battle to have three contestants from the start, without anybody dropping in later. |

Warhammer 40,000: The humans have a policy of extermination for all xenos/mutants/heretics, the Orks are biological war machines, the Eldar consider humans barbarous space monkeys, the Necrons want to kill all life, the Tyranids want to eat everything, and Chaos is... Chaos. The sole exception are the Tau, who are happy to recruit other races into their little space commie family (although they at least recognize Necrons, orks and Tyranids will never join), with force and brainwashing if necessary. Most of the factions above also spend a lot of energy on internal squabbles: the Imperium is constantly engaged in insurrections and reconquests, the Eldar have a break-off group of evil counterparts who prey on the other Eldar as much as any other race, the forces of Chaos are divided amongst rival gods, and the Orks will happily fight each other if there aren't any other enemies available. Not even the Tyranids and Necrons are immune to this in-fighting; the former is controlled by a Hive Mind that will occasionally run survival-of-the-fittest tests on itself, and the latter has recently been broken up into multiple rival "dynasties", some of which are lead by rather... damaged individuals. Even the Tau have a breakaway faction led by a former military hero now bent on exterminating the orks, and while not currently actively hostile to the Tau Empire is an affront to their "Greater Good" philosophy and a deserter to boot. On the gameplay side there's the mission Carnage where 4 players battle it out for a central objective. |

Since even the heroes of the setting are professional domestic terrorists, Shadowrun tends to turn into this. Corps hire runners to do their dirty work and even if a lot of runners shun wetwork (outright assassination contracts), they aren't above sabotage, bombings, espionage, theft, and occasionally offing some security guards if things get messy. As a result, runners tend to be grey-area men and women working for bad people against other bad people. Other teams of runners rarely cooperate past a pulling a big job together and many will betray each other for the sake of a bigger cut. To quote one book's fluff: | |

Due to the number of candidates for the Chunin Exams, the tournament bracket sets up the finals as a three-way fight, with the eventual winners being Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara. However, Rasa protests over the possibility of Naruto and Sasuke teaming-up to take out Gaara, and Jiraiya ultimately gives in to his demands and decides to let Naruto and Sasuke fight each other one-on-one first, and then let the winner face Gaara alone. | |

Warhammer Fantasy Battles: During the storm of chaos, the Empire is fighting the forces of Chaos led by Archaon. Then Grimgor and his orcs turn up, fights their way through both forces, kills the Chaos leader to prove that he is the best and goes away — leaving both forces badly damaged. Most worldwide campaigns pit everyone against everyone, though. Old Imperium motto used by fans: "The enemy of my enemy is the next one to die". In general, the forces of Chaos are locked in the four-sided variety of this trope. There are four Chaos gods, and a given Chaos warrior is aligned with one of them and opposed to the other three. The key is getting the four sides to stop fighting long enough to actually accomplish something. But hey, at least they get an army of Demi-Gods by feeding thousands of raw recruits to their chosen champions. |

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End: At the beginning we have: Barbossa's pirates vs. British Redcoats vs. Sao Feng's pirates, but the two illegal factions quickly postpone their differences for a later date. Later on, after Davy Jones breaks free of Lord Beckett, this leads to the Jack's Black Pearl crew vs. Davy Jones' Flying Dutchman crew, and Beckett's British Navy forces. |

Happens in almost every game of the Total War series, with multiple nations fighting it out in campaign mode. In the first two Total War games you could end up in this situation if two or more powers attacked a third at the same time. In later games, this kind of massive free-for-all is only possible in the custom battles, but boy could this make for awesome battles if your computer could handle the weight. |

Final Fantasy: The plot of Final Fantasy VII quickly becomes a three-way battle between Cloud's group, Shinra and Sephiroth. In Final Fantasy XIII, some Random Encounters will have one group of monsters fighting another group of rival monsters. You can use this to your advantage to take out the stronger group as the weaker ones whittle their health away. In Chapter 12, Cocoon's capital city Eden gets invaded by no fewer than 3 different factions: your six l'Cie party members, the traitorous army faction known as the Cavalry, and a truly ludicrous number of monsters from Pulse. The ensuing battles feature the l'Cie vs. Eden's Homeguard army vs. the Pulse monsters vs. the Cavalry. Even though the l'Cie & the Cavalry are supposed to be on the same side, but it wasn't their fault they got turned into crystal zombies. Frontline PvP battles in Final Fantasy XIV pit players of the three Grand Companies of Eorzea (Limsa Lominsa's Maelstrom, Ul'dah's Immortal Flames, and Gridania's Order of the Twin Adder) against one another. |

Doctor Who: In the 1965 serial "The Chase", The Doctor and his companions visit several different planets and time periods, each new stop introducing them to a new antagonist of some sort. However, the entire time they are also being chased by The Daleks in their own time travel device who simply want to kill The Doctor and his friends. For every different location The Doctor and his companions visit, the Daleks end up fighting whatever new enemy is there as well, although the "Daleks vs new foe" bits are used mainly as a gag, which reaches its climax in the final battle between the Daleks and the Mechanoids which ultimately results in them destroying each other while also unintentionally buying The Doctor and co enough time to escape both enemies within the chaos. In the episode "Doomsday", there is theoretically a three-way battle between the Daleks, the humans, and the Cybermen. However, it is effectively a one-sided Curb-Stomp Battle by the Daleks against everything else. |

The Star Wars Conquest Game Mod features three playable factions: the Rebel Alliance, the Galactic Empire, and the Hutt Cartel. Although the formers begins the campaign at war against each others while the latter is neutral at first, the situation will eventually become this trope. If the player character decides to create his own faction, it can even become a Mêlée A Quatre. |

Ring of Honor uses a combination "four-way" and tag match (separate from a four-way tag team match with eight participants) called "Four Corner Survival," where either of the two 'legal' wrestlers can tag in either of the two wrestlers but only one can win (which is just a cooler name for the old "four corners" match). | |

Person of Interest: The first season finale "Firewall" features this for its second half. Reese is trying to save psychologist Caroline Turing with Carter and Fusco as backup, Dirty Cop organization HR is trying to kill her because a hit was put out on her, and there's an FBI task force trying to kill Reese because they think he's a gun for hire. It turns out that two of those three parties are being played by Turing, who is actually the cyberterrorist Root: she put the hit out on herself, HR tried to cash in, and the entire point of the scheme was to draw out Reese and Finch in a chance to get in touch with the Machine because Root knew that Reese and Finch would not hesitate to help a seemingly helpless woman. "Aletheia" has Team Machine end up in one against Northern Lights, the shadowy government agency that gets the Machine numbers relevant to national security, and Vigilance, Western Terrorists opposed to government surveillance. The actual fight ends up with Northern Lights effortlessly defeating Vigilance and Team Machine disappearing. In the end Decima Technologies is the real winner, having already achieved the prize, the alternative to the machine. |

One level in Medal of Honor: Underground has you infiltrating German-occupied Crete, just as Cretan buccaneers are looting the area. For most of the level the Germans and buccanners will be shooting at each other and ignoring your presence (if you're still disguised as a reporter) but should your cover be blown (or you chose to draw a gun in front of the Germans) you'll quickly become the third-party of a three-way-shootout. | |

Iron Within: The Dark Eldar attack the Imperial Guard stronghold in the planet for their periodical harvest of prisoners to be enslaved or sacrificed, and since the odds are against the humans the officers decide to use the ancient rituals to summon the Emperor's "angels" (i.e. the Space Marines) which legends say they would come in time of need when called. The calling codes are still functional, what the officers didn't know was that they were linked to a chapter that is now renegade, the Iron Warriors, who effectively come but then proceed to strike both the Dark Eldar and the guardsmen (at least those who show signs of weakness like wavering or do make the imperial salute, which is anathema to the Iron Warriors because they greatly hate the Emperor). | |

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge downplays this. The only actual three-way battle between the Allies, Soviets, and Yuri occurs in the first mission (either the Allies use their time machine to travel back to the beginning of the war, fighting off the initial Soviet invasion then moving to take out Yuri's Psychic Dominator, or the Soviets capture the machine from the Allies, then go back in time with it to destroy the Dominator), and even then whoever uses the time machine still focuses on taking out the other faction first before paying much mind to Yuri. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: In the film Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions, Aigami, Yugi, and Kaiba have a 3-way conflict, with Kaiba trying to get the pieces of the Millennium Puzzle from both Aigami and Yugi, and Aigami wanting to foil Kaiba's plans and destroy Yugi, while Yugi had opposed both Kaiba and Aigami on separate occasions. The Synchro Dimension arc of Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V has multiple factions warring against each other. The first are the Lancers, the main characters, who came to the Synchro Dimension to rally people against the second faction, Academia. Academia has kidnapped people who are important to their plot while turning people into cards and using their souls for their grand scheme. A third faction is introduced in this arc: Jean-Michel Roget and his Security. He defected from Academia and has worked his way into a position of power in the Synchro Dimension, and fights the other two factions to keep them from getting in the way of his own power. A fourth faction exists in the city council, who Roget works under. Roget wants to overthrow them and take more power for himself, while the city council only acts to preserve their own interests. They hinder all other sides and only side with the Lancers in the end when they offer them protection from Academia and Roget. |

An earlier and downplayed example in the original show, Ultraman features two ancient monsters, Banila and Aboras which are arch-enemies, fighting in a stadium while the Science Patrol tries to destroy both monsters from the sidelines. The Science Patrol decides to focus their attack on Banila until Aboras had the upper hand, killing Banila with its Acid Spit. By the time Ultraman shows up to deal with Aboras its strictly one-on-one. | |

In Halo 4, you can find Covenant remnants and Prometheans fighting each other in the first level that they are both in, making it possible for you to mop the floor with whoever's left. The rest of the game subverts this by having the Covenant and Prometheans unite under the command of the Didact. In Halo 5: Guardians, the two groups oppose each other again, with the opening level dropping your team right into the middle of a big battle between the two. | |

In Pokémon: The Series, the Team Rocket Trio consisting of Jessie, James, and Meowth tends to serve as a wild card in major conflicts (typically when another villainous team shows up). They usually start out as a third distinct side, but eventually team up with the side that has most of their interests in common, reserving the right to betray them and/or switch teams at any given moment. Interestingly enough, it comes to the forefront most noticeably when they're fighting another Team Rocket group, Butch and Cassidy. Jessie and James hate Butch and Cassidy too much to ever work with them, but they are technically all on the same team, so usually Jessie and James will attempt to sabotage Butch and Cassidy's plans and steal the credit/spoils, while both groups are in opposition to Ash & co. and sometimes the local authorities. | |

In Fantasy of Utter Ridiculousness, Reimu reveals that there's a provision in the Spell Card rules for this. At least four people with no set alliances with each other need to agree to a fight, and it has to take place in open air so that there's enough room to dodge the sheer volume of danmaku that would result. One Spell Card is allowed per combatant, and the winner is the last one left standing. | |

The Fire Never Dies: While the Second American Revolution is largely a two-sided battle betwen the Reds and Whites, California sees a third faction: the Blues, led by Governor Hiram Johnson. Johnson opposed President Wilson's attempts to crush the IWW (which provoked the Revolution) and sought to turn California into a neutral zone (and position himself as a compromise leader in the aftermath). This backfired, turning both sides against him, and the ensuing bloodshed and famine would give California the nickname "The Golden Abbatoir". The Russian Civil War gradually turns into one of these as the Bolsheviks and Anarchists turn against each other while still fighting the Whites. The Anarchists are far stronger, but the Bolsheviks have a de facto alliance with Germany. |

Gundam: Reconguista in G does this all over the place; fans have counted at least six or seven different factions, each with their own objectives. Alliances are formed, fall apart, and shift on a near episode-by-episode basis, and is further confused by the antics of various double agents. The primary conflict, however, is the Earth nation of Ameria vs the also Earth-based Capitol Tower vs the space nation of Towasanga. | |

The trope then appeared in the main series with Fire Emblem: Three Houses, with a number of examples. Firstly, the trope is invoked by the academy that serves as the game’s main setting, with the school year including two mock battles that take place between the houses. While the first one is treated as a Gang Up on the Human in gameplay, the second one is a proper example of the trope, where both rival houses will be just as willing to attack each other when they can. The second mock battle is called back to after the time skip in two of the story routes, where the three factions meet up on the same battlefield, only this time, it’s a real battle. There are also optional auxiliary battles, where the player’s army must take on a group of bandits, and a giant monster is also present on the map, which is too feral minded to side with anyone. | |

Dead Island: In the Jungle level, a local militia would make an attempt to gun you down at a waterfall. What they don't know is the zombies will ambush them. You can let them fight each other and then finish off the remaining foes. The same scenario happens again in the Prison. The Police is hostile to everyone since they are overly paranoid. You can let them fend off the zombies and then finish them off, or finish the cops first and then the zombies. You can deliberately invoke this by baiting the zombies to the Punks in the Town level. |

At the beginning of Hyperdimension Neptunia, the four goddesses Purple Heart, Black Heart, White Heart, and Green Heart are openly duking it out with each other, no alliances or anything, and it's implied they've been doing this for a long time. A voice suggests that they get rid of one of their numbers to shake things up and turn it into a true melee a trois. They agree and quickly settle on sending Purple Heart (Neptune) off the floating island before resuming their battle. | |

The Pure Blooded Thief/Convict Allies path in Henry Stickmin Series: Complete The Mission has this as Henry and Ellie find themselves in an all out battle between the Government and the Toppats while being chased by the Wall. This results in a 4-way battle between the Government vs the Toppats vs the Wall vs Henry and Ellie, where the Government tries to take down the Toppat Clan, the Toppats try to launch their space station, the Wall tries to recapture Ellie and Henry (not caring if they have to fight through the government and Toppats to do so), and Henry and Ellie aim to escape. At the end of the path, the player is asked to choose sides. Choosing the Government or the Toppats results in endings where Henry and Ellie help take out the space station and get pardoned (Government), or help the Toppats launch their station and kill the leaders of the Wall (Toppat). Choosing the Wall will result in a fail where Henry and Ellie are brought back to the Complex and frozen in a cryogenic cell. Choosing no side will also result in a fail where Henry and Ellie both die after a poorly executed escape plan. | |

SCP: Secret Laboratory has Class-D personnel and the Chaos Insurgency vs the Foundation vs the escaping SCPs. It should be noted that there's no actual benefit or consequence to all these factions waging war on each other, making it perfectly fine to try and make alliances with players or to backstab your own team. Also note that the Class-D and the Foundation Scientists are forced to work together to survive in the first sections of a game, but are also encouraged to wipe each other out if they find the means to. | |

Armored Core is kind of complicated in a way this trope is played. In 2 it was Zio Matrix vs. Emurade vs. Balena, with the LCC later joining with Balena. But it led to some confusion involving a Civil War between Zio on Earth and on Mars and Balena being caught between the now Corrupted Martian government and the Earth Government. | |

Pirates: Legend of the Black Buccaneer have you playing as a buccaneer in an uncharted treasure island where the wildlife, consisting of hostile apes, attacks everything in sight, while you contend against rival pirates after the same bounty. More often than not, the AI for pirates and local apes will attack each other, besides attacking you on sight. | |

In addition, Pincer Escape maps in History Mode set you up against two rival factions and task you with bringing them both down. | |

Spec Ops: The Line follows a three-man Delta squad as they make their way through the apocalyptic wasteland that was once the city-state of Dubai. They end up fighting both armed civilian insurgents (led by CIA agents, one of whom has plans of his own) and the 33rd Infantry Battalion, who are of course fighting each other. This isn't counting the more rebellious elements of the 33rd that were executed before the events of the game, or the civilians who are fanatically loyal to the 33rd's leader John Konrad... | |

In Final Fantasy XIII, some Random Encounters will have one group of monsters fighting another group of rival monsters. You can use this to your advantage to take out the stronger group as the weaker ones whittle their health away. In Chapter 12, Cocoon's capital city Eden gets invaded by no fewer than 3 different factions: your six l'Cie party members, the traitorous army faction known as the Cavalry, and a truly ludicrous number of monsters from Pulse. The ensuing battles feature the l'Cie vs. Eden's Homeguard army vs. the Pulse monsters vs. the Cavalry. Even though the l'Cie & the Cavalry are supposed to be on the same side, but it wasn't their fault they got turned into crystal zombies. |

Battle Royale has aspects of this, both of the indirect type and the very direct type. There are several "groups" involved- Mitsuko, Kiriyama and 3 or 4 minor characters, all out actively hunting all the other students (and thus, each other), although 3-way confrontations are rare. However, there is the moment when Kyoichi confronts Shuya/Noriko, and Shogo appears, aiming at them both (although mainly at Kyoichi because he has clearly snapped. And, obviously, who could forget the Melee a Cinq/Six in the lighthouse? | |

Assassin's Creed III: Neither the Assassins nor Templars have any loyalty to either side in the American Revolution. Haytham makes it clear that he cares nothing about England's "idiot king", and Connor is motivated purely by personal vengeance and doesn't really give a damn if America wins independence. The very messy political situation is reflected in the ending, where the Colonial Templars have been wiped out, England has lost its colonies, and Connor realizes that the men he slew, though certainly despicable, weren't in any way responsible for the destruction of his village, while the man who was is now the most powerful man in the newly-formed United States of America. | |

The Hoenn games (Ruby and Sapphire and their remakes) feature two villainous teams instead of just one: Team Aqua and Team Magma. The two have opposing goals (Team Aqua wants to flood the world for the benefit of water-types, while Team Magma wants to eliminate the oceans for the benefit of ground-types), and of course the player wants neither team to succeed. Typically the Aqua/Magma conflicts play out off-screen (since watching them fight would just slow down the game), but the animosity is present from the start and by the end when the Olympus Mons get into play, it's something of a free-for-all. | |

Housepets!: Temple Crashers 2. By the final battle, we have seven factions duking it out around the Mana Pool; Peanut, Max, Grape, Mungo, Fox, and Res, who were initially with Tarot and Sabrina until they abandoned them. Peanut now feels betrayed as a result, driving the rest of his team to win first. Max technically wins, but is forcibly kicked out by Keene's trick summoning spell. Tarot and Sabrina, who understand the deeper gravitas of the situtation and split For the Greater Good to ensure Keene doesn't activate the Pool. Joey's group of nerds, who still think they're playing a LARP. The angels (Spring, Summer, and Rufus) who are trying to ensure that no mortals activate the Pool. Keene, who rigged the game to make sure he activates the Pool first. Breel, who is trying to protect Keene. And Karishad, who's motives are dubious beyond the fact that he lives here. |

The Wander over Yonder episode "The Battle Royale" features nearly every villain in the series introduced up to that point fighting over an allegedly all-powerful ring of invincibility. A particularly large example, with no less than eleven sides fighting all at once (although Something the So and So barely even counts as his own side), six of which are supported by their respective armies of Mooks — and that's just before Lord Dominator shows up. | |

Killer Elite. The hitman protagonist Danny is tied to a chair by his antagonist, ex-SAS man Logan for interrogation and killing. A third party then enters and takes Danny prisoner, binding his hands behind his back. This leads to a three-way fight involving two bound badasses trying to kill their captor and each other at the same time. | |

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown: after the Usean satellite network is destroyed in Mission 15, communications on both sides of the conflict are severed. Chain of command disintegrates for both Osea and Erusea, with Erusea's military splintering into anti-war conservatives versus pro-war radicals, and Osean penal units taking advantage of the chaos to attack their captors and escape. In Mission 16, all vehicles are designated as "Unknown" until you can do a visual fly-by to positively identify them, with Oseans shooting Oseans until your AWACS can send the updated data out. And to make matters worse, no comms means the Erusean UAV fleet is unable to receive updated orders from their human controllers, so the drone AI programs begin acting on their own as defined by their dangerously vague mission parameters and overriding the Erusean military's authority as to what constitutes a "target.". | |

Queen of All Oni: The fight in the shrine of the Three Shades — the J-Team goes there looking for information about the Shadowkhan, the Shadow Hand follow them so that Jade can steal a powerful Shadowkhan artifact, and the monks are duty bound to protect said artifact (one tablet of a Tome of Eldritch Lore). Of course, since the monks are all True Neutral, they interpret "protect the artifact" as "fight anyone who shows up who isn't there to join the order", so even though they and the heroes are technically on the same side, they fight both them and the Shadow Hand. And it should also be noted that this fight is a total Curb-Stomp Battle, as the monks utterly wipe the floor with the other two sides. Likewise, the fight over the second tablet in the Vault of Endless Night is between the J-Team, the Shadow Hand, and the various evil creatures sealed down there. This time around, the heroes are at least aided by the local guardian (a giant feathered serpent called Nameless), who joins forces with them the moment he realizes they're not evil. The Shadow Hand still wins however, managing to grab the tablet and get away at the last minute. The Final Battle starts as just the heroes vs the Shadowkhan. But then an Enemy Civil War breaks out with Jade and Tarakudo fighting each other for leadership of the Oni and their respective loyalist Generals turning on each other, all while the heroes are still fighting their forces. |

Assassin's Creed: Assassin's Creed: Revelations has this, between the Ottoman guard, the Byzantine Templars and their guards, and the Assassins. It's not uncommon to see both of the opposing factions fighting (or sometimes cause it by forcing them to meet somewhere). Assassin's Creed III: Neither the Assassins nor Templars have any loyalty to either side in the American Revolution. Haytham makes it clear that he cares nothing about England's "idiot king", and Connor is motivated purely by personal vengeance and doesn't really give a damn if America wins independence.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag: Bartholomew Roberts flees to Principe in the near the end of the game after the British and Spanish navies take notice of his conquests throughout the Caribbean. Edward Kenway catches wind of his trail and pursues him there, eventually arriving and forcing Roberts to take to the seas once again. His escape causes him to accidentally sail directly into an absolutely massive battle between the British and Spanish fleets both arriving off the coast at the same time. Both sides immediately turn their guns on Bart and he is forced to return fire in every direction while Edward attempts to navigate himself onto the ship to kill him. |

Downplayed in Kalos, wherein horde battles (five wild Pokémon encountered at once) are typically player-against-wild, but every so often a Zangoose or Seviper (mortal enemies) will wind up in a horde with each other, and they'll attack each other as well as the player. Which is tricky, because it's the only way to get a Zangoose or Seviper, depending on the version you're playing, so you've got to stop the others from killing it if you want to catch it, not to mention stop them from killing you. | |

In Overlord II, it's the well-meaning but idiotic elves, versus the Roman-themed Glorious Empire, versus the forces of the eponymous Evil Overlord. | |

Darth Vader: Hero of Naboo: During his conversation with Plagueis in the first epilogue chapter, Vader states his belief that leaving the Republic to collapse under the weight of its own corruption, without the Sith pulling the strings to get the specific outcome of Republic vs Separatists that there was in his timeline, means that when the civil war eventually comes, there will be "a great many" factions that will pop up. | |

Transformers: The second season of Transformers: Animated is Autobots vs. the Decepticons still working with Megatron vs. Starscream and his clones, with lone enemies like Swindle, Blackarachnia, and Meltdown showing up occasionally. The Transformers: The Movie: Autobots vs. Decepticons vs. Unicron. Transformers: Energon: Autobots vs. Decepticons vs. Alpha Q and Team Rodimus (before their Heel–Face Turn). Transformers: Cybertron: Autobots vs. Megatron's Decepticons vs. Starscream's Decepticons. Transformers: Prime: In the midst of the general Autobots vs. Decepticons conflict, several third parties such as M.E.C.H., a temporary independent-acting Starscream, Airachnid and her Insecticons, Unicron, the Predacons and the Terrorcons joins in the fray, often as an enemy to either one of the main factions or to both. And put in with all the ever-shifting alliances and loyalties, backstabbings and betrayals Game of Thrones style to go with it. |

Tetris 99: As expected from a battle royale game, this tends to happen a lot. You have manual targeting and badges that increase your attack power (that you can only get by K.O.ing other players), so the dynamics can get interesting. This top 3. | |

Return of Ultraman have the predator kaiju, Gudon, attacking its prey, Twin Tail, and Ultraman Jack fighting them simultaneously, twice, in a two-part episode. Firstly in the big city, which ended in a stalemate when all 3 combatants are too exhausted to continue and are forced to retreat, then later in a construction site in which Gudon mauls Twin Tail to death, before getting defeated by Ultraman Jack. | |

The Hobbit has the Battle of Five Armies: Elves and Lakemen vs. Dwarves vs. More Dwarves vs. Orcs and Wargs. Gandalf intervenes to get the dwarves to ally with the elves and men right at the outset, however. Other semi-independent factions that join the goodies later on include the Eagles and Beorn. | |

Swordsman: The East Is Red ends with a lengthy naval battle between the film's constantly-feuding parties: the Portuegese conquistadores, Japanese Man-O-War, and the Ming Navy. With Asia the Invincible the Anti-Hero protagonist manipulating the three behind the scenes. | |

The Ruins of an American Party System: The German Civil War of the 1920s is a three-way conflict between the Communists, the Nazis, and a more centrist movement that supports a restored (and constitutional) monarchy. The latter wins. The Indian Civil War of the 40s is even more complicated. On the surface, it's the British and their loyalists vs Hindu nationalists vs Muslim nationalists vs Communist revolutionaries. But both nationalist groups are further divided by factions willing to work with each other against the Communists, and those willing to work with the Communists against the British. And there's also the maharajas, who are playing the field amongst the British and both sets of nationalists to fend off the Communists. |

Super Smash Bros.: You can set up fights as free-for-alls of up to 4 players, or team battles consisting of 2-on-1, 2-on-2, 3-on-1, or 2-on-1-on-1. Technically only if you have four humans. If it's you and three AI, you can count on the CPU going for you instead of another CPU if they have a choice. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U introduces 8-Player Smash (and that number changes depending on how many fighters above than 4 are), which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. For team battles, the characters can be split into up to four teams. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate uses this as the Final Boss's gimmick: officially, it's your fighter vs. the Dual Boss (Galeem and Dharkon, who are both evil and seek to destroy you, but also want to destroy each other), but said bosses make no attempt to avoid friendly fire and never hesitate to Kick Them While They Are Down, making it your fighter vs. Final Boss 1 vs. Final Boss 2. If you pay attention to the Color-Coded for Your Convenience player indicators, you will see that yours is in red, Galeem's puppet fighters' are in blue and Dharkon's puppet fighters' are in green, even further punctuating this trope. |

The climax of the Eppy Thatcher arc in Grendel, with the corrupt Pope's army of fanatics fighting Orion Assante's anti-corruption followers fighting Pellon Cross's horde of vampires, with Eppy acting as a lone agent of chaos and a load of drug-crazed worshippers caught in the middle. | |
