You're The Hero in a videogame. For some reason you got separated from the rest of your party. Cue (usually) a few not-so-random encounters where they join up with you one or two at a time in the middle of the fight.
Doesn't actually have to be in a battle, though it usually is. It still qualifies as this trope if you just find the rest of your party walking around.
Sometimes overlaps with Big Damn Heroes, but in this case, it's the supporting heroes who come to back up the protagonist when he's having a rough fight alone.

When playing on Hard Mode in Mega Man X8, after his Mini-Boss encounter at the final level, Vile ambushes your backup partner, requiring the player to use only a single character for the rest of the level up to the fight with Sigma. After shaving off a portion of Sigma's health, there's a scripted event where he grabs your player character, which cues the arrival of the backup character to rescue their partner.

EVE Online has this with either event-driven NPCs or that lone wolf in your fleet.

A possible NPC example from Dragon Age II: in the Act II endgame, Isabella will betray you and run off with the loot. However, if you have a strong (Friend, Rival, or Romance) relationship with her, she will find herself unable to leave your side and join you in the middle of the battle against the act boss.
