[The fact that it slows down would be reassuring, if not for the energy that's clearly building up. Ven's repertoire of abilities falls unfortunately short on the magical ailment and buff side of things, so all he can do is keep contributing offensively.
And that countdown is still going. If the weapon's impressive defense is any indication, its offense is going to hurt. So after a moment of running through his jobs' abilities from memory -- a little harder than one might think, since he has to push aside the habit of referring back to his original skills -- Ven switches his approach.
He left his halberd behind, but he can still utilize his Dragoon side with just his Keyblade; so using the previous lapse between numbers in that countdown as a guess, he crouches and waits for as long as he dares after that 1 is announced -- and then in a blur of movement uses Jump to vault high into the air. As massive as the Ultimate Weapon is, he's not sure he can clear the impending attack -- but it beats doing nothing and waiting for it, and he can at least deal some damage on his return.]
