[Ultima Weapon continues onwards, and the energy it has been gathering pools into a faint sphere around its head. It begins to slow down as it prepares its attack.]

[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.]

( yuna's heart was pounding. the imminent countdown had reached its peak, but she wasn't about to just cower away and take cover. although she had no idea what sort of attack was coming, she turned quickly to see that none of the other heroes had given up either... which added fuel to her fire.

her aeon's fire, too. levitating off of the ground again, the psychic's arms spread wide, she called upon a great force of her own... ) Ifrit!

( materializing out from a glyph again in a partial summon, yuna brought an arm forward, her palm out towards ultima weapon... ) Show your flames!

( there was a massive roar from the beast, who lashed out with his most powerful attack, hurling Hellfire towards the enemy. )

[Rikku pushes down a swell of frustration, wanting to yell for her cousin to use the psychic levitation skill to move out of the weapon's range as the countdown reached an ominous conclusion. Knowing full well it would be a waste of breath.

Taking a hint from earlier, the assassin raises two finger to her forehead, beside her the air shimmers like a desert mirage as a copycat of the young blonde appears. Rikku's clone moves over in front of the former healer, prepared to use parkour to leap in front of the woman as an extra buffer once the weapons fires should their attempt to move its aim be for not. Clones are readily expendable after all, even if the sight is grizzly and disturbing.]

[All K'pandolu feels she can do now is as much damage as she can- whatever she can. One more barrage, then.

She draws a breath, activates Shushin, and strikes, the ability adding to the speed granted to Haste to allow her to try for an even greater number of blows, before moving back in the attempt to evade whatever the Weapon means to launch.]

[Minako made sure she had a clone of herself to stand in front of her for whatever might happen. After all she was worried about what might happen next... It was probably not good either way.]
