Teleportation Rescue | comment |
This is a trope where someone rescues somebody else, usually from a long way away, by teleporting. They don't just teleport to where they're being held and bust them out; they go right to where the person is, grab them, and then teleport out with them. It can also be done other ways, such as the rescuee being teleported from far away, or a rescuer arriving on foot to give the rescuee a Warp Whistle to allow him/her to escape. The exact execution isn't important (it could be technological, magical, or somewhere in the middle; the crucial element is that the teleportation is the direct means of the rescuing.) This may require removal of Teleport Interdiction. If done poorly, can result in a Tele-Frag. It may use instantaneous teleportation or a portal. It can be initiated by a Warp Zone or Warp Whistle. May involve the use of Flash Step or an Extradimensional Emergency Exit. A sister trope of Weaponized Teleportation, and can be a Sub-Trope of Teleport Spam. Often the rescuer is a Reality Warper. |

Wonder Woman (1987): Circe rescues Diana from the White Magician's final attack by teleporting the villains away. She doesn't bother with the White Magician himself though, as the first thing she noticed when she arrived was that his own magic was going to kill him within moments. | |

StarCraft: In both games, Protoss Zealots disappear when killed, since their armor contains an emergency teleporter that instantly warps them back to Aiur (or their home base) when destroyed. Other troops like Dragoons and Immortals aren't so lucky (being grievously wounded Zealots in a battlesuit) and suffer Permadeath. | |

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Albus Dumbledore's brother Aberforth had most of Sirius' mirror (Harry had a shard of it and got the occasional glimpse of someone he couldn't quite identify and who looked like the then-deceased Albus Dumbledore). When Harry, Ron and Hermione were caught by the snatchers and taken to Malfoy Manor, Aberforth is able to have Dobby Apparate into the manor and rescue them, as well as Luna Lovegood, Dean Thomas, the goblin Griphook and the wand expert Ollivander. | |

Star Trek: Picard: In "Absolute Candor", shortly after Elnor decapitates Tenqem and threatens the remaining Romulans with death if they try to harm Picard, a goon starts to unholster his disruptor and points out that Elnor can't dodge that. The goon never gets to test that theory, as Picard urgently orders a pending beam-up to happen immediately. Later in the same episode, Raffi transports Seven of Nine to La Sirena just before the latter's ship explodes when it hits Vashti's security net. In "Nepenthe", Narissa beams away a split second before she would've been hit by her own knife that Elnor throws back at her. In "Broken Pieces", Narissa teleports to safety before she's mauled to death by the xBs. |

He resigns himself to death and collapses, when the mysterious prophet Iris unexpectedly teleports in behind him and warps him back to Parcelyte, although she doesn't rematerialise with him, leaving the reason for his unexpected survival unknown to everyone. | |

Supernatural: In the season 5 episode "Abandon All Hope...", Sam and Dean are captured by the Devil himself while he's performing a sacrificial ritual to raise the Pale Horseman from his slumber. Their angel friend Castiel (who had been previously captured and escaped) teleports to where they're being held, to teleport them away from the danger zone. Castiel rescues Dean just as Zachariah is about to do something nasty to him in "The End". Castiel does it again in season six, whisking Sam and Dean away just as the building they're in explodes. He knew somebody was after them and was apparently keeping tabs. |

Star Trek (2009): Kirk and Sulu are falling from a great height down to the surface of Vulcan. The transporter tech is having trouble getting a lock on them. Chekov then rushes to the transporter room and manages to beam them out moments before the splat. Later, he tries to do the same to Spock and the Vulcan High Council, as the planet is imploding around them. He manages to get them, except for Spock's mother, who falls into a crevasse moments before. Finally, at the climax, Scotty manages to perform a simultaneous beam-out from two different locations (Spock from the Jellyfish and Kirk and Pike from the Narada). |

Interesting Times: At the beginning of the book, Rincewind is teleported to the Agatean Empire with the wizards teleporting a local object as a counterweight (a long tube with a lit fuse at one end called a Barking Dog). Towards the end of the book, as he's about to be killed by Lord Hong, the wizards teleport him back, sending the Barking Dog back... having relit the fuse, reasoning that it should be sent back as it was found. However, this time Rincewind is not sent to the Unseen University, the spell sent him to Fourecks instead. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country has a rare instance of the rescue coming at exactly the wrong moment, as the jailer of Rura Penthe is just about to tell Kirk and McCoy who was really responsible for Chancellor Gorkon's assassination: Star Trek (2009): Kirk and Sulu are falling from a great height down to the surface of Vulcan. The transporter tech is having trouble getting a lock on them. Chekov then rushes to the transporter room and manages to beam them out moments before the splat. Later, he tries to do the same to Spock and the Vulcan High Council, as the planet is imploding around them. He manages to get them, except for Spock's mother, who falls into a crevasse moments before. Finally, at the climax, Scotty manages to perform a simultaneous beam-out from two different locations (Spock from the Jellyfish and Kirk and Pike from the Narada). In Star Trek Beyond this is used twice. First it is used to save Spock and Bones just before they get killed by a few of the drone ships, later it is used to rescue the rest of the crew from Krall's compound. |

The Allies extract Einstein directly by teleporting him with the Chronosphere, the bug promptly cluing the Soviet high command on its location. | |

Star Trek: The Original Series: Several times, naturally. Either beam the endangered landing party out or beam down a well armed security contingent. Often the issue is complicated either because they don't have access to communicators to signal or can't violate Prime Directive by vanishing into thin air in sight of clueless natives. Or the transporter goes offline at the most inconvenient moment, leaving Kirk to yell at Scotty to fix it ASAP. In "The Enterprise Incident", the plan involves teleporting Spock out of the Romulan ship he infiltrated before they get round to executing him. Kirk assumes this would be easy as there is only one Vulcan aboard that ship, so it should be easy enough to isolate his life signs. Unfortunately, Romulan and Vulcan physiologies are nearly identical... |

Happens to Hal Jordan in Justice: after he is teleported by the villains so far outside the known universe that no Green Lantern ring, including his own, would help him get back, The Phantom Stranger eventually locates and teleports him back to Earth, because magic. | |

A few times in Mega Man Zero, when Zero has to rescue someone, he'll go to a stage, run towards them and then gives them a teleport beacon so the Mission Control can teleport them to base. | |

In Star Trek Beyond this is used twice. First it is used to save Spock and Bones just before they get killed by a few of the drone ships, later it is used to rescue the rest of the crew from Krall's compound. | |

Doctor Who: Done multiple times, often involving the Doctor summoning the TARDIS to himself. In "Doomsday", Rose and the Doctor are trying to close an interdimensional breach, thereby sucking the warring Daleks and Cybermen off of Earth and into the void. Rose loses her grip and falls into the void, but the Alternate Universe version of her father transports from the alternate universe, catches her, and transports back as the breach closes. | |

Happens in almost every episode of Blake's 7, usually Just in Time too. Averted however in "Orbit" when Avon and Vila are in a shuttle struggling to reach escape velocity, and Dayna suggests teleporting over with a couple of teleport bracelets and rescuing them. She's told it's too difficult to teleport between two fast-moving points. | |

In Summer Time Rendering, Shinpei receives the power to loop back in time to the day he arrived on the island that activates each time he dies. While only his consciousness will return to the past, Shadow Ushio will physically follow him back in time as long as she wasn't killed in the previous loop. In order to escape their captors Shide and Haine in the fourth loop, Shinpei drinks an entire bottle of poison, grabs ahold of Shadow Ushio with his consciousness once he finally succumbs to it, and pulls her into the time warp just in time to avoid an incoming fatal strike from Shide's blade. | |

EXTRAPOWER: Attack of Darkforce Happens at a couple points in the game. When Blackberry and Kurogane escape from a Dark Force spacecraft only to find that the invasion fleet has filled the sky and Mensouma is about to attack them, the demon king sealed in Kurogane teleports them back to the rest of the team. Later, when Dark Force and his mother ship are trapped in collapsing Yami Space, a shadowy demon zone that interferes with his ship's teleportation technology, he would have been permanently trapped if Space Master Astral Gate did not give him an out and rescue Dark Force back to our dimension. The experience was severe enough for Dark Force to decide to just reduce the Earth into space dust, which works out for Astral Gate's prolonged amusement over the conflict. |

While being chased by both Orks and Genestealers through a space hulk he and Jurgen stumble upon one of the recon robots that was dispatched earlier and Drumon is able to use the teleport homer inside of it to teleport them both to safety moments before they would have been overrun. | |

The Bail-Out Trigger in World Trigger is a safety mechanism that will automatically activate when an agent's Trion body takes lethal damage. It works by teleporting the agent, including their physical body and full Trigger equipments, to central Border’s landing rooms with the agent completely ejected from their Trigger equipments. During the Large Scale Invasion arc, Azuma forces Bail-Out to activate on his panicking squad member Koarai by sniping his head off so that Koarai would be safe from being cubi-fied by the enemy Trion soldier that captured him. | |

Dragon Ball Z: After Tien busts Cell's attempt to absorb Android 18, Cell retaliates. Fortunately for Tien, Goku uses his Instant Transmission technique to teleport there, grab Tien (and Piccolo, who was also there) and (since Goku knows he isn't powerful enough to fight Cell yet) quickly teleport to a safe place. Goku teleports himself, Vegeta, Mr. Satan, and Dende to safety, escaping from from Buu's energy ball. Unfortunately, he couldn't save Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Piccolo, and the others who died when the Earth exploded. |

Star Trek: Voyager In "False Profits", Chakotay and Paris convince the primitive local population to strap their "Sages" (actually, Ferengi) to poles and set them ablaze in order for them to ascend, as per their poem. As the Ferengi are about to burn, Voyager beams them out, making it look like they really did ascend. In "Darkling", Kes and the Doctor fall off a cliff, but Voyager transports them in mid-fall. |

The spell successfully evacuates Dai, but Popp is left behind after his sympathy over leaving Hadlar to die makes him hesitate to escape. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "The Most Toys", Data has been kidnapped by an absolute scum of a man, but he's managed to free himself and is pointing the man's own illegal gun at him (illegal because it causes an very agonizing death). Oh, and the man he's facing just so happens to have murdered someone with the gun and plans to murder more just to browbeat him, and he's just realized that said illegal gun is the only means he has of stopping this psychopath. As the Enterprise beams him out, they notice that the gun had been discharged during the transport, which Data claims must surely have been some side effect of the transporter beam. So not only did they rescue Data, but unintentionally saved the villain as well. | |
