I know. Looking back, what I should have done is let them go for the bad guy's plan and see where that went. I'm actually really good at thinking on the fly. They probably would eventually have still fought each other, but at a later point.
Hell, they probably would have turned on him faster than he turned on them due to the events with the Last BBEG they started working with.

I'll be honest: I was impatient. I had been looking forward to the fight and scene for a while. It's a bad habit of mine.
It didn't even go as well as I would have hoped. They ended up getting scared of the boss, so they hit the base's figurate "self-destruct button" and tried to book it.
Luckily I was able to think fast, so when they booked it when they didn't like the look of the boss, the climactic boss fight became a climactic escape sequence instead, as they had to navigate back through the destructing fortress as it collapsed around them, all the while the Boss chased after them and if they were too slow in overcoming an obstacle or stopped to check out some loot too long it would indeed catch up with them.
