"Hm?" 

Initially, Schezo doesn't react much to Hel's arrival, gaze still glued on their flying foe and his incoming string of fire. It takes a second for him to peel his glare away from Firefly and look at the Ninetails, immediately grabbing hold of them and very casually stepping to the side, carrying them along. That left more than enough space for the flamethrower's thrown flame to miss its mark.

"Oh, it's you!" he chimes, setting her down. "I wanted to say you're absolutely adorable, and that I wish to display my affection!"

He refuses to elaborate further, instead looking back to Firefly, or at least where he [i]was.[/i] In his place is now a lanky man, dressed in green and holding a comically large hammer. Below him is their target, recoiling in pain, and surrounding him is...

Ah, the spell. That's a little bit of an issue.

"Why in the world are there so many people!? I could end this much quicker if they weren't all in the way! Hmph! And people wonder why I prefer to work alone."

Luigi would soon find that he is no longer in trouble. With nothing more than a thought on Schezo's end, what seemed like an unfavorable position turned out to be a great choice! Almost immediately, the masses of dark magic collected around the steel end of his hammer, giving it an ominous aura of pure black. It didn't seem any heavier, but it [i]does[/i] seem like it'll hurt an opponent much more. Though, more importantly, he wasn't harmed! How nice.

Between the crystal barrier overhead and Cloud's swift slashes to Firefly's blind spot, there was a lot to take in. Were he not convinced that he could do all of that on his own, he might have even been impressed. Still, he's at least somewhat thankful for the extra protection. That's less effort he needs to put forward, which is an absolute win.

In the spirit of using little effort for a massive payoff...

That plasma from earlier seemed incredibly effective on that flying fiend. As someone that deals with lightning, both on the giving and receiving end, Schezo was able to make a connection between it and what he deflected earlier. Unfortunately for Firefly, he has a very easy way to test this theory.

He raises a hand, grinning maliciously.

The spell is nearly spontaneous, sending a slew of lightning bolts from the sky and raining them down on Firefly. There's no real difference between this and a lightning bolt aside from their origin -- both move at roughly a third of the speed of light, can heat the air around them to more than five times the temperature of the sun, and qualify as plasma. The only thing Firefly has going for him is that there's not nearly as much lightning involved as there would have been with less people around.
