Bahamut SIN enters Charging phase as an interrupt at these specific thresholds:

20% HP: Bahamut SIN charges Petaflare

(Here is a graphical illustration)
NOTE: You do not have to defeat 8 Creepers to fulfil the Target Score, only 6 will do. Just make sure the 7th and 8th Creepers show up on the field before defeating Bahamut SIN. When you defeat Bahamut, all other enemies on the field "die" as well.
