ensue - to follow immediately after or as a direct result of (like violence, chaos or hilarity)
intervene - to occur between two times or events OR to interfere with the outcome of a condition or process OR to enter or appear as an irrelevant or extraneous feature or circumstance. (Actually, it has six different usages, according to Merriam Webster, but I think we should limit definitions to those listed above.)
No word should have six different meanings. You might as well throw it in anywhere.
