Not Quite Saved Enough	comment	So you spent the past 20 hours fighting your way past the forces of darkness, plumbing the depths of hell itself and personally handing the Big Bad's strongest minions their own asses, all to rescue the princess and see her home safely. The princess and the hero kiss, the king hands the hero his just reward, and he sets off, no doubt intending to walk off into the sunset. You can practically smell the credits about to roll... ...and then the enemy superweapon levels the castle, killing the princess and demolishing the surrounding town. You and the protagonist sit there, stunned: what the hell just happened? As it turns out, the princess was Not Quite Saved Enough. Sometimes, no matter what the heroes do, destiny (i.e. the writer) just has it in for some characters. Save the princess? You come back later and find out she's suffered a Fate Worse than Death. Rescue the village? The Big Bad burns it later. Recover the legendary artifact? Too bad; there's a mole among the good guys and he smashes it right before the heroes have the chance to use it. This is a very specific and special flavor of Diabolus ex Machina that only happens after the protagonists think they've won, a prolonged Hope Spot capped off with a "Shaggy Dog" Story, or worse, an immediate death right after the victory. Naturally, this is an extreme version of Your Princess Is in Another Castle!. Compare Pyrrhic Victory, Cheated Death, Died Anyway, and Take a Moment to Catch Your Death. Can rely on Cutscene Incompetence. See also All for Nothing and Yank the Dog's Chain. In sequels, this can also manifest as Happy Ending Override or Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome. In a work with Multiple Endings depending on the choices of the reader or player, this is typically a sign that the reader / player screwed up somewhere if it's near the end of the story, and/or doubling as a Non-Standard Game Over. As this is often a Death Trope, spoilers will ensue.

Not Quite Saved Enough / int_10e9182d	comment	The final episode of Tales from the Crypt is a Darker and Edgier version of The Three Little Pigs story. The Pig who built his house of bricks gets revenge for the death of his abusive brothers by creating a Frankenstein monster to kill the Big Bad Wolf. The monster swallows the Wolf whole. The pig feels guilty, afterwards, and decides to stop the monster. He does so, only for the Wolf to pop out of the Monster's belly and eat the Pig. The trope is even Lampshaded by the Wolf before the episode ends.

The party succeeds- only for Nergal to interfere and use the Brainwashed and Crazy Ninian to call a dragon using Elbert's quintessence! Nils arrives just in time to stop the madness and Elbert manages to wound Nergal, but he's too weak and dies in his son's arms. Queen Ismaire in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. Even after Eirika's party kills the boss, Callaech kills Ismaire anyway when she refuses to hand over Jehanna's stone. In Chapter 9 of Fire Emblem: Awakening, despite the well-planned attempt to rescue Emmeryn from her execution, she ends up committing Heroic Suicide anyway so Chrom doesn't have to hand over the Fire Emblem.

She saves him, beating a whole building worth of CIA agents with her bare hands in the process, and with help of the Oracle gets him a train ticket to safety and all documents he may need to go into hiding. Next issue Batman reveals to shocked Cass that on the train the man decided to call his mother to say goodbye, which was enough to let the CIA track down and assassinate him far away from a pesky Batgirl that could interfere.

Not Quite Saved Enough / int_2dfaf313	comment	Perhaps the prototypical example is the original Night of the Living Dead (1968). In a movie filled with groundbreaking departures from tradition, this trope was perhaps the most significant. After a heroic struggle, Ben is left the only survivor of a night of mayhem and horror in the farmhouse. The next morning he awakes to the sound of a rescue party approaching the house, but as he peers through the boarded-up windows for a glimpse of his potential saviors, they mistake him for just another zombie and perfunctorily shoot him in the head. The movie ends with a sequence of still images of Ben's lifeless, anonymous corpse impaled on a meat hook and dragged to a human bonfire. No one ever knows who he was or what he went through to survive the night . . . of the living dead.

Katie, an aspiring model, is tricked into believing she is auditioning for modeling agents, but is instead kidnapped by them, and shipped overseas to some place in the Ukraine where they plan to use her as a sex slave. She is able to escape the house by going through their sewer from the basement and even made it to the local police. There she meets a women's rights activist, who seems to care about what happened to her and promises to protect her. She takes Katie back to her house. Katie walks about thinking she is safe, only to discover the same door to the basement that she escaped from, realizing she is back in the same house. The woman then attacks her, puts her back in the basement and reveals she is the sister to the head kidnapper.

The brothers save the people trapped in a police station by demons and even manage to save the people possessed by the demons. They even gain an important ally in an FBI agent who was pursuing them (thinking they were domestic terrorists.) After the brothers leave, the Big Bad shows up and kills everyone. After leaving a town where the inhabitants have gone Axe-Crazy due to a demonic plague, the brothers leave the two survivors they rescued. It turns out one of the survivors was actually demon-possessed, and he quickly kills the other. This is invoked by Crowley in order to stop the brothers from closing the gates of Hell. He finds the people Sam and Dean saved during the series and starts killing them one by one in nasty ways. He agrees to stop only if the brothers abandon their quest to close off Hell forever.

Not Quite Saved Enough / int_61339eee	comment	Das Boot has a particularly cruel example. Most of the film deals with the sheer terror faced by the men in a German U-Boat during World War II, including several points where they're nearly sunk by Allied depth charges. Somewhere in the last quarter of the film, the titular submarine actually sinks, but the crew manages to devise a plan, repair the damage, get to the surface, and return home. It seems like the film will have a happy ending as the crew survives and makes it back to port, and then the majority of them get killed in an air raid.

He was recovering wonderfully, even regaining some feeling in his paralyzed side until he had a second fatal "episode".

After a frantic retreat punctuated by lots of Stuff Blowing Up, they manage to escape by jumping down the side of the tower thanks to David's exoskeleton, seemingly losing him. Lucy even manages to snap David out of his cyberpsychosis on the way down! They reunite with Falco and Rebecca, with Rebecca expressing relief that Lucy is safe, if only for David's sake. Lucy smiles, everything seems like it'll be okay... and then Adam Smasher falls from the sky directly onto Rebecca, with the resulting shot of her mangled corpse revealing that yes, she is extremely dead. Smasher then effortlessly bitchslaps Falco away and knocks off his robotic arm, No Sells Lucy's attempt to quickhack him and burns out her cyberdeck, and then David, who has gone cyberpsycho again following Rebecca's death, proceeds to seemingly fight Smasher on equal footing... for all of a minute or so. Then Smasher effortlessly tears David's exoskeleton apart and proceeds to beat the everloving piss out of him while a cheerful montage recalling David's first time meeting each member of the crew and their resulting gruesome deaths plays to the tune of ''I Really Want To Stay At Your House.'' Then David gets his head blown off point blank. Lucy and Falco do manage to escape, but Falco isn't seen again afterwards, and Lucy gets to live out the rest of her days on the moon, completely alone and miserable. Roll credits!

After seeing he didn't have the Philosopher's Stone like they had hoped, they left. Soon after, Lust and Gluttony kill the real Cornello and have Envy impersonate him, splitting the city into two parts. Those who believe Cornello lives on, and those who no longer want to be cattle. These sides fight and cause open civil war, all thanks to the Elric brothers (and Envy). Scar sets up a massive transmutation circle from the streets of the city and waits for things to play out. Then the fantastic military gets involved, which can only end well. Of course, Ed and Al only learn about as they are assigned to investigate, and everyone they know has been hiding this from them. As the last of the civilians secretly evacuate, the majority of the military forces enter the city. Scar activates his master plan, turning everyone caught inside the city into a Philosopher's Stone. And after that, things only get worse.

Not Quite Saved Enough / int_bf23eedd	comment	Fullmetal Alchemist: In Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), Ed and Alphonse Elric save the town of Liore by bringing down the manipulative Father Cornello. After seeing he didn't have the Philosopher's Stone like they had hoped, they left. Soon after, Lust and Gluttony kill the real Cornello and have Envy impersonate him, splitting the city into two parts. Those who believe Cornello lives on, and those who no longer want to be cattle. These sides fight and cause open civil war, all thanks to the Elric brothers (and Envy). Scar sets up a massive transmutation circle from the streets of the city and waits for things to play out. Then the fantastic military gets involved, which can only end well. Of course, Ed and Al only learn about as they are assigned to investigate, and everyone they know has been hiding this from them. As the last of the civilians secretly evacuate, the majority of the military forces enter the city. Scar activates his master plan, turning everyone caught inside the city into a Philosopher's Stone. And after that, things only get worse. In the manga and Brotherhood, the same situation is a subversion. While the same events up to the civil war still happen, and much of the city gets destroyed, by the time the protagonists return the citizens have made peace and started to rebuild. However, enough blood was spilled during the civil war to power Liore's node in the nationwide transmutation circle, making this a Double Subversion.

Fecto Forgo wakes up and despite being defeated, manages to assimilate Elfilin anyway, turning into the Ultimate Lifeform Fecto Elfilis. It's subverted later on after Kirby frees Elfilin from and defeats Fecto Elfilis, as Elfilin performs a Heroic Sacrifice to close the unstable portal between Pop Star and the New World, but it's revealed that he survived.

Not Quite Saved Enough / int_c43df4d8	comment	Has happened a lot on Doctor Who. Several times, characters will be rescued by the Doctor and his companions, only to be killed a bit later on. "The Girl in the Fireplace": The Doctor spends the whole episode protecting Madame de Pompadour from the clockwork droids, but she ends up dying of an illness (after years for her, but only minutes for the Doctor and the audience). In "The Waters of Mars", the Doctor changes established events by having an A God Am I moment. How does Adelaide snap him out of this? By killing herself as soon as she's Earth-side. Her intention was to both put history back on track and shock the Doctor into realizing the slippery slope he was on. While it is left ambiguous if her suicide was needed to inspire her grand-daughter to go into space and history, it definitely had the needed effect of preventing the Doctor from going down the path of the Timelord Victorious. "Vincent and the Doctor" deserves a special mention. Admittedly, it was a Foregone Conclusion as even in-universe it is explicitly mentioned several times that Vincent van Gogh committed suicide, but it's still a little heartbreaking when Amy rushes to see if they saved him. They didn't. In "The Angels Take Manhattan", Amy and Rory's final episode, they seem to have defeated the Angels, and everything is back to normal. Then Rory spots his own gravestone, as one last Angel lurks behind him...

Only once you clear Turtle Rock does Link saving Zelda finally stick.

Unfortunately said festival causes people to become a twisted version of whatever they're dressed as and go completely Ax-Crazy. John eventually discovers that loud punk music can stop the effects and has safely hidden his friend and some survivors in a nightclub. He goes to get help and then the village is nuked thanks to a possessed ex-fighter pilot who comes out of the trance a second after letting the bomb go. The moral is don't revive things you don't understand and don't be friends with John Constantine unless you can drive a taxi (and even then--!).

It turns out the girl can see the future and has known her fate long enough to have accepted it. She is kidnapped by a cult who intend to sacrifice her to the demon they worship, only to be foiled by Buffy. As they are leaving, the girl sets off a booby trap, and only Buffy's lightning reflexes save the girl from suffering a crossbow bolt to the face. Then the girl proceeds to drop dead of a congenital heart defect.

The eldest of the three, Zelda, is the worst off, and by issue 5 has slipped into unconsciousness and is on death's door. With no other options to save her life, Laura and The Wasp use one of Hank Pym's suits to enter Zelda's bloodstream, where the pair fight the nanites directly. They're successful, and Zelda regains consciousness once enough of the machines are destroyed... just in time for Captain Mooney, who has been pursuing the girls since issue 2, to show up and shoot her dead.

One man handles communications on the ground while the rest of the team are in a helicopter and get the item. Then the T. Rex appears. The man on the ground runs for his life to the chopper's ladder and grabs onto it with a last desperate move as it lifts off, but as they fly away Rexy chomps on the ladder trying to get him. After a struggle, she lets go and the team cheer in celebration... only for the Mosasaurus to burst out of the water like a whale and swallow the man alive.

Considering, however, that the chapter starts with present-day Sam and Max finding their skeletons in the same boiler room that their story ends in, it's a Foregone Conclusion.

Not Quite Saved Enough / int_eff376c4	comment	In Play Dirty, another WWII movie, this one set in North Africa, the hero and The Lancer destroy a Nazi fuel depot the night before the Allies take the city it's in. They lay low in a nearby shack, and wait for the Allied forces to arrive, at which point both main characters are promptly shot because they had to don enemy uniforms to complete their mission, despite the fact that they are walking slowly with their hands up and holding a white flag. This means that there is only one member of the team who might still be alive at the end of the film, and that 'survivor' is immobilized with a serious gut wound in a vehicle that no one living knows about, making his death only a matter of time. Even worse, the Allied commanders had changed the minds about the fuel depot, deciding (too late) to try and take it intact, so the protagonists' efforts were all for nothing.

Not Quite Saved Enough / int_f0c77818	comment	An issue of Nightcrawler sees the fuzzy elf return to his home town of Witzeldorf when he learns a childhood friend has created a museum dedicated to him to help foster mutant/human relations. The reunion is short-lived when Kurt discovers the villagers are up in arms over a demon that's been stalking the local forest and has apparently absconded with a little girl recently. Having lived this scenario, Nightcrawler heads out to find what he suspects is a mutant and convince the villagers of their folly. When he manages to track down the creature though, he's shocked to discover a hulking, horrifying brute slowly turning what looks like a child's body over a cook fire and attacks. In the ensuing struggle, Kurt soon learns the demon is actually a village teenager under the curse of a gypsy whose daughter he'd cheated on, and the meat he was cooking was actually a small pig he'd managed to steal because he was starving. The boy breaks down on Nightcrawler, lamenting the fact that he can't even go home without people trying to attack him and the unfairness of being turned into a monster just because his eyes had wandered. Kurt swears to help the kid adjust to his new life, telling him to stay put while he returns to Witzeldorf to clear the matter up and find the girl. He soon discovers the girl has returned, saying how she'd been invited to a tea party in the woods and hadn't realized how late it was. Kurt heads back to the teen, only to find he's hung himself, unable to cope with life as a monster. It's at this point Mephisto appears, now holding the teen's forfeited soul as he taunts Nightcrawler over his failure (especially since, had Nightcrawler not intervened, the villagers would have killed their demon which, while painful, would not have resulted in the boy being damned). Nightcrawler even accuses Mephisto of having orchestrated the events, only to be playfully told the only act the demon lord took was to invite a new little friend into the woods for a tea party.

Not Quite Saved Enough / int_f17c3b1d	comment	Dead Rising has various levels of this depending on which ending you get. Ironically, the game's best ending causes this for everyone. All the survivors you've fought so hard to rescue are carted off and silenced (lethally or otherwise) by the military to keep the dirty secret that's caused the Zombie Apocalypse under wraps. By the end, only protagonist Frank West, Annoying Video Game Helper Otis, and the former Big Bad's sister (post-Heelâ€“Face Turn) are explicitly alive, and even then it's not obvious how they escape (apart from Otis, who steals a helicopter in the confusion). In a specific example, the death toll includes your temporary boss Brad Garrison, who you have to save from the Big Bad by finding medical supplies for him to treat his injuries (and gets turned into a zombie anyway).
