Two enemies are interrupted during a fight by a beastly 3rd entity. Whatever it is, giant fauna, giant flora, carnivorous dinosaurs, or humongous sand worms, they’re stranded and are forced to work together to survive. How do the hero and their enemy differ in tactics? Do they find themselves surprisingly complimentary when on the same side? How do they confront the underlying conflict between them? How do they feel when they have to return to their previous sides after the whole ordeal is over? Has anything changed? (and when paired together to fight, what is the result?)
