Well given the generous detail of the OP I would say Terra.........her abilities far exceed those of any l'cie even one as powerful and skilled as Light. Because in her normal every day human mode Terra is a powerful mage that has and extra level to ascend to if need be.
Lightning has none, Paradigm shift is not the same,Summoning Odin is not the same Her abilities are just not that exspansive, its the regular abilities, like magic or summoning (the idea is that in earlier FF games those abilities were open to all the inhaitants of the FF worlds NPC's, regular folk in the street but FFXIII changed that by saying that Magic and summoning were gifts to the L'cie) of earlier final fantasy games that were given to the Characters of FFXIII but no special mode like Overdrives or limit breaks.
Terra has Light covered as a mage, Light may be able to beat her in Physical combat, but when it comes down to it Terra wins hands down.

Well id have to chose terra. Not relying on gameplay mechanics and anything lightning does not have feats or cutscenes or acomplishments that outshines terra. If i recall correctly didnt lightning get beaten up by a behemoth until her team arrived? i could be wrong but if so that dosent say much about her physcial battle prowess. She probaly has speed that surpasses terra , since she can shoot bullets and is shown doing some good acrobactics, and i dont know if terra is a bullet timer. But not that it would matter as i think she could just throw up a shield or something. And terra does have esper form. But lightning has odin.

I don't remember. When was that?

Terra would get the early lead on Lightning until she suddenly lost her will to battle in which case Lightning would take advantage of and chop her freaking head off! Then there would be nobody left to take care of the orphans 
and they will get mad and attack Lightning, beating her to a bloody pulp and then making Hope cry. Hope would battle the orphans but being a generally hated character will lose power fast and the orphans would hack away at his HP until he dies joining Lightning as they both return to the Life Stream where Aerith gives them the guided tour.

Seriously I'm not sure. Never played that much into either game (VI because I got stuck at a point and gave up. XIII because I lost interest after Chapter II), so from what I do know... Terra may have some kind of advantage with the magic but that doesn't mean Lightning is a goner. She has some rather fancy moves she could perform on Terra too... hmm...

Frankly it seems a little sketchy to me myself. Im going to re watch the cutscenes of the game anyway. Im starting to think it really didnt happen, just my imagination.
