Lost in Lualand

hey guys you know that trope in dramatic movies/anime/etc

where the Big Bad is about to face off against the hero + all his friends and the hero is like "NO, THIS IS MY FIGHT, STAND BACK"

and all of the friends just nod solemnly and stand back and let the two of 'em wail on each other?

you should know that i will never be that friend, i will barge right in the middle of that fight with a particularly heavy textbook or a large stick or a makeshift flamethrower or something because, shit dude, i am not letting you potentially die in battle just because "honor!!1!" or some bullshit

so yeah

i guess keep that in mind before inviting me along on any epic quests
