Code:
mob/Vaizard/verb/Cero()
    set category = "Combat"
    usr.stamina -= 5
    if(usr.stamina <= 5)
        usr<<"<font color=red><B><small><B>Combat Info:</font><font color=white><B><small> You need to rest!"
    else
        third()
mob
    proc
        third()
            var/obj/H = new/obj/Bakudo/Cero
            view()<<sound('cero.wav')
            H.dir = src.dir
            H.loc = src.loc
            while(H)
                step(H,H.dir)
                var/turf/T = H.loc
                if(T.density == 1)
                    del(H)
                    break
                for(var/mob/M as mob in T)
                    if(M == src)
                        continue
                    if(src.reiatsu < M.reiatsu)
                        src<<"<font color=#0099ff><B><small><B>Combat Info:</font><font color=white><B><small> You don't phase [M]"
                    if(src.reiatsu > M.reiatsu)
                        var/damage = src.reiatsu - M.reiatsu + 2000
                        M:HP -= damage
                        src<<"<font color=#0099ff><B><small><B>Combat Info:</font><font color=white><B><small> You hit [M] for [damage] damage!</font>"
                        M:DeathCheck()
                        usr.Levelup()
                        usr.exp+=rand(50,300)
                        usr.gold+=rand(10,20)
                    del(H)
                sleep(1)


Problem description:
How would I make it so the attack has to cool off and delay before the next shot?

You can do that by making a var, example
if(usr.cero_delay) 
 usr<<"What ever you want it to say"
 return

and you do something like this in the third proc
usr.cero_delay = 1
sleep(30)usr.cero_delay =0

In response to Slayer 200
This would be a more 'clean' method:
mob/var/tmp/attack_time = 0
mob/var/attack_delay = 5 //the delay of the attack


mob/Vaizard/verb/Cero()
    set category = "Combat"
    if(world.time<src.attack_time) return
    
    src.attack_time = src.attack_delay + world.time
    usr.stamina -= 5
    if(usr.stamina <= 5)
        usr<<"<font color=red><B><small><B>Combat Info:</font><font color=white><B><small> You need to rest!"
    else
        third()
