Greatest battle that never happened

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Have you ever seen a character/entity in a RPG and thought it'd be cool to fight him/her/it, but never happened? Here's a couple boss fights I'd like to see:
Chrono Cross - Serge + others vs The original Chrono Trigger cast. It actually make sense. Crono and others didn't really like Serge very much (until the end, when everything's suddenly okay again). Maybe you should get Dario and Miguel on your side for that battle... you'd probably need it to beat them!
Terranigma - Ark vs Royd. It makes sense in the story, but I still wanted to see them fight. Ark vs Dark Ark would've been interesting too, I think.
FFX - Yuna. I don't know, there's no real reason why you should fight her. It's not that I hate her (though Rydia is still my favorite summoner, and I hate her magical girl summon animation she does a ton toward the end). It's just I feel the poor monsters get slapped by her summons too much, someone should stand up for those poor guys. :) It'd be kind of interesting to fight someone who has access to all of the broken spells of Final Fantasy, namely Protect, Shell, Full-Life/Arise, Reraise, and Curaga. At least she doesn't have haste (or at least she doesn't start out very close to haste)!
FFT - Zalbag Balbanes. Okay, you sort of fight him, but it's a very nerfed version. He never uses Destroy Sword unless there is absolutely no one in his melee range, which has never happened in all 4 times I've played through the game (pretty hard to do, if you think about it). Here's some guy who's supposed to be as good as TG Cid, but he just does his weak blood suck or smack Ramza for an insignificant amount of damage.
Grandia 2 - Elena and Milennia. Why not? It seems to fit the theme of the game too. Since I don't care about either of two characters anyway, I wouldn't feel too bad if they accidentally died in the final battle or something. Not like they went out and did anything meaningful after the game's over... actually, that can be said with just about everyone.
Legend of Mana - Sierra. Another one where you did fight, but it doesn't really count. Give her some real moves and attack power so she's more than something you kick around when you're bored. Even when you fight her on No Future diffculty her lifebar goes down really fast. Akravtor is absolutely painful in NF mode (almost everything he does do 999 points of damage). Jajara is less cheesy but still has a lot of 999 attacks. But Vedise and Sierra is a joke compared to the first two dragons you had to fight to get there. I was expecting more.

<span style="background: black; color: black;">I wanted to fight Schala for real. Now, Schala is probably my favorite character, but come on, that fight was so wimpy. She didn't even get any new spells that you haven't seen before. The original Lavos had cooler attacks before he assimilated Schala!</span></div>
