Code:
mob
    proc
        Hyper_Tornado_Shoot()
            var/obj/H = new/obj/hyper_tornado
            var/ki_damage = round(usr.powerlevel_max * 0.15)
            var/ki_cost = round(src.ki_max * 0.99)

            if(src.ki >= ki_cost)
                if(!src.doing)
                    src.ki_lock = 1
                    spawn(10) src.ki_lock = 0
                    src.doing = 1
                    src.ki -= ki_cost
                    src.overlays += ht_charge
                    new/obj/HUD/BloodOut(src)
                    view(6) << "<font color = white>[src]:</font> HYPER....."
                    sleep(8)
                    view(6) << "<font color = white>[src]:</font> TORNADO!!!"
                    src.overlays -= ht_charge
                    usr.icon_state = "attack"

This should work.

mob
    proc
        Hyper_Tornado_Shoot()
            var/obj/H = new/obj/hyper_tornado
            var/ki_damage = round(usr.powerlevel_max * 0.15)
            var/ki_cost = round(src.ki_max * 0.99)

            if(src.ki >= ki_cost)
                if(!src.doing)
                    src.ki_lock = 1
                    spawn(10) src.ki_lock = 0
                    src.doing = 1
                    src.ki -= ki_cost
                    src.overlays += ht_charge
                    new/obj/HUD/BloodOut(src)
                    view(6) << "<font color = white>[src]:</font> HYPER....."
                    sleep(8)
                    view(6) << "<font color = white>[src]:</font> TORNADO!!!"
                    src.overlays -= ht_charge
                    usr.icon_state = "attack"



obj/HUD
    BloodOut
        layer=9001
        icon='Bloodout.dmi'
        screen_loc="SOUTHWEST to NORTHEAST"
        New(mob/m)
            m.client.screen += src


EDIT: I'm not sure whether you want it to appear on-screen or just as a projectile, but by following the logic of your code, it appears as though the former is the case.
