Who Needs Enemies?	comment	With Friends Like These... The hero is working to stop the Evil Plan of the Evil Overlord, and has, at long last, found an ally. No, wait... perhaps ally is too strong a word. This person is fighting the Big Bad, just like the hero, but is doing so on their own terms with their own agenda. This agenda doesn't run contrary to the hero's, but at the same time, the other person's agenda doesn't fall seamlessly in line with the hero's goals, either. This so-called "ally" isn't overly concerned with the hero's welfare, or whether or not the hero succeeds in their mission. They aren't actively out to hurt the hero, it's just that they would happily betray the hero to the bad guy if it means that one of their schemes succeeded. But as long as the hero is of use to them, they'll help out when they can. They aren't necessarily malicious... they just have a mission of their own they are attending to. Occasionally, the "ally" will actually be another villain, who, for some reason, has decided that helping the hero is beneficial to their own long-term goals. Often, this is part of a Xanatos Gambit; if they can use the hero to do some dangerous dirty work then why not? They either accomplish a goal or lose a potential enemy. It's a win-win. Expect the phrase "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" to be used, a sentiment that is quite often proven false in such situations. Compare Divided We Fall where genuine allies fight, and contrast Enemy Mine where the above sentiment proves true. Not The Mole, but may as well be. Compare and Contrast with the Aloof Ally whose motivations and goals legitimately match the hero's AND does earnestly work alongside them when needed or when their interests align—they just don't consider themselves to be a part of The Team.

Who Needs Enemies? / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age uses this trope as a recurring theme. Dragon Age: Origins: Morrigan wants to stop the Blight just as much as the Warden does... but she also wants to have a Grey Warden's baby that will serve as the vessel for the soul of an Old God, and will desert you before the final battle if you refuse to help her accomplish this. Dragon Age II: Anders ends up using the Player Character as an Unwitting Pawn in his scheme to blow up the Kirkwall Chantry and start a war between mages and Templars. Dragon Age: Inquisition: Solas, who is really the ancient elven god Fen'Harel, uses the Inquisition (and Inquisitor) to help further his own plans to bring about The End of the World as We Know It.

Despite spending the whole time basically being annoying and pleading to kill Batman, Joker proves his worth by capturing Bats to begin with and, believe it or not, being the voice of reason the entire time.

Indeed, at his first opportunity, Griphook grabs what he wants and leaves Harry to escape on his own. Of course, Harry was also planning to betray Griphook by using the Exact Words of their bargain to withhold the treasure in question.

Doom didn't actually give a damn whether Shadowcat lived or died... he just enjoyed the opportunity to show up Reed Richards. This was also Doom's logic when he helped deliver Valeria Richards — her very existence would be a perpetual reminder to Reed that Doom was able to save his family when he wasn't.

Who Needs Enemies? / int_73d7930f	comment	In Deep Space Nine, the Romulans, Gorn, Tholians, and Ferengi (all at least antagonistic toward the Federation and in some cases downright hostile) banded together with the Federation and Klingons (already long allied) in opposing the Dominion. The Cardassians (and later the Breen) invert the trope, uniting with the Dominion to oppose the Federation and the Klingons. From the Cardassians' perspective the Dominion fits, they obviously don't really trust or like each other (the Cardassians tried to wipe out the Dominion's homeworld only a year and a half before they allied), but with the Federation and the Klingons getting back together, they have teamed up to fight the Federation and their allies in order to gain control of the Alpha Quadrant. Garak is this on a more personal level. A true patriot (like all good Cardassians), he was banished from his home but still loves Cardassia with all of his heart, and sees Dominion rule as disastrous. As such, he will do anything to destroy the Dominion, and for most of the series, that means working with the Federation. His main differing point with the Federation is one of method: Garak has no qualms against any method that might achieve his ends. He has been willing to start wars, commit genocide, and manipulate, assassinate, and be accessory to the creation of chemical weapons in order to destroy the Dominion. Worst of all, he makes a good case for it. Section 31 may also count. While acting in the interest of the Federation, they are willing to violate each and every one of its principles. The main characters of Deep Space Nine oppose them on the grounds that their methods ( which include an almost perfectly successful extinction of the Founders) are everything they are fighting against.

Who Needs Enemies? / int_7668653b	comment	In Mass Effect 3, it would be a stretch to say that you can ally yourself to the batarians in the fight against the Reapers. It's more like you get them to agree that, since you're fighting the Reapers, and they're fighting the Reapers, you might as well all fight them at once, on the same battlefield, at the same time. On a personal level, Balak makes it clear how much he despises humans and especially Shepard when s/he makes the alliance with him. The feeling is quite mutual. The eponymous Reaper-killer of Leviathan. It or rather they, are the MEverse's original Abusive Precursors who used Mind Control to rule over the 'lesser races' as gods until one of their creations turned on them, created the Reapers and started the cycles. They fight the Reapers because they are angry at losing their position as the 'apex of life' and care nothing for anyone else beyond the fact Shepard has proven they can no longer hide. Shepard may have found more help for the war, but what will happen when there's no longer a common enemy to fight is a pretty worrying question.

Who Needs Enemies? / int_a14bb239	comment	Princess Principal's central spy team is made of five people and a hazy puzzle of loyalties. The short of it: it's the Kingdom of Albion vs. the Commonwealth, the latter of which our team works for. The Princess of the kingdom, the enemy, joins that team early on, planning to usurp the throne of her own family (as there are other heirs in the way). Two people in the team (her friend and the original Princess, whom she traded places with) are more or less loyal to her first and foremost, and only one of those two keep an important, allegiance-related mutual secret with the Princess. One other member, in wholly allied with the Commonwealth, is chosen to be the first to take action if she turns out to be The Mole, and the last has double duty as an observer, keeping watch so the third party she came from can decide who between the Kingdom and Commonwealth to ally with. How is this the short? Personal feelings aren't yet in the equation.

He really couldn't care less if Angel ended up killing Buffy. Later, after he'd been implanted with an inhibitor chip that prevented him from harming human beings, Spike helped the Scoobies fight demons simply because he liked to fight, and demons were the only things he could hurt anymore. Eventually, the other demons pick up on this and he's no longer welcome among them so it does become more like a traditional Enemy Mine scenario.

He does always end up helping Sibuna... but usually for his own benefit, or at least one that's different from the rest of the group's. Three seasons and he's still just an ally... an ally that none of them tend to even trust on a daily basis.

Who Needs Enemies? / int_eee7448f	comment	Played for laughs in Dora Wilk Series. To work out a mystery involving vampires, Dora enlists the help of vampiric seneschal Teresa. Relationship works out well, but it turns out that Teresa's a raging vampire feminist, who wants Dora (recently a Vampire Lady) to engage in vampiric politics and aid the women's cause. She still helps, in hopes that Dora will be so entangled in the matter she'll have no choice. So far, mixed results.

Who Needs Enemies? / int_ff9ab17f	comment	In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Legacy", the Enterprise crew enlists the help of Ishara Yar in order to rescue a lifepod full of space-freighter crewmen from a hostile faction on the Death World Turkana V, only to find out in the end that Ishara Yar was using them as a covering force for her own mission: to blow up the fusion power plant belonging to that faction, so her own faction can gain supremacy. In Deep Space Nine, the Romulans, Gorn, Tholians, and Ferengi (all at least antagonistic toward the Federation and in some cases downright hostile) banded together with the Federation and Klingons (already long allied) in opposing the Dominion. The Cardassians (and later the Breen) invert the trope, uniting with the Dominion to oppose the Federation and the Klingons. From the Cardassians' perspective the Dominion fits, they obviously don't really trust or like each other (the Cardassians tried to wipe out the Dominion's homeworld only a year and a half before they allied), but with the Federation and the Klingons getting back together, they have teamed up to fight the Federation and their allies in order to gain control of the Alpha Quadrant. Garak is this on a more personal level. A true patriot (like all good Cardassians), he was banished from his home but still loves Cardassia with all of his heart, and sees Dominion rule as disastrous. As such, he will do anything to destroy the Dominion, and for most of the series, that means working with the Federation. His main differing point with the Federation is one of method: Garak has no qualms against any method that might achieve his ends. He has been willing to start wars, commit genocide, and manipulate, assassinate, and be accessory to the creation of chemical weapons in order to destroy the Dominion. Worst of all, he makes a good case for it. Section 31 may also count. While acting in the interest of the Federation, they are willing to violate each and every one of its principles. The main characters of Deep Space Nine oppose them on the grounds that their methods ( which include an almost perfectly successful extinction of the Founders) are everything they are fighting against. This was intended as part of the cast dynamic of Star Trek: Voyager, with the Starfleet and Maquis crew united only in getting home. Of course, the crews merge almost flawlessly and immediately, preventing this except for a rare few episodes.
