All those buffs, on top of his own Intial skill to S-Type SOLDIER, soon made Sephiroth start to feel inexplicably full, or perhaps more accurately; charged. Of energy, as if it were building more and more pressure within the pseudo-mako that his custom job replicated.
Perhaps it was not such a big surprise that he'd refrained from attacking immediately with that in mind, the buffs dizzily pressed his already boosted combat capability almost as far he were able to contain physically.
Plus they'd all just had an attempt to get through to Ramza; unfortunate as it was that Kalki had picked him for a Vessel. To try for a last time to talk Kalki down from what she was fanatical about. A momentary thought struck, and for just a few seconds there was distinct compassion towards her; to think that in his future he'd end up not quite so different, yet here and now he was starting to appreciate exactly what it was they were all fighting for.
For choice, for life, and for freedom within both.
He caught Chiaki's eye contact briefly as she buffed him with a Reraise. One of many who believed in him, who trusted him to make the right choice. As far as he was concerned, the time for mercy was well and truly past. Taking full advantage of the buff(s?) to his already boosted-speed, Sephiroth cast Deathblow before executing Dash to gap-close quickly and then straight up he leapt.
Hellsgate might well have seemed overkill given Ramza-Kalki's state of injury, but now more than ever they don't have the time to underestimate. Haste-permitting, Excalibur followed swiftly afterwards before Sephiroth lunged back from his attack.
