That the offense abruptly stops trips something inside Chaos, but his reaction is still going strong, and for now, at least, Chaos does not halt his attack but instead launches once more, both flinging the pent up energy and following after in a dive with claws extended.

If Zack pays very close attention, he might notice that Chaos' left claw bears an uncanny resemblance to Vincent's - albeit somewhat mutated - and he might notice the way the wings are reminiscent of Vincent's cape, in a way. But of course, Zack might be a little too distracted defending himself and recovering from the awful illusion to really pay attention.
