KOTR does a lot more than 2k each attack. No mine didnt do 9999 so I dont know where you got that from or how you would know in the first place. If Cloud could do 5k with Ultima then Cid should be doing at least a decent amount with all his materia anyways even if you didnt use him much, you the way the characters level up when you dont use them? I would have got KOTR at around lv.60 and it still did like 6000-7000 damage a hit. Id like to know what level you were on "at that point in the game". Finally wouldnt using KOTR once do more damage and take less MP than using Ultima when it does 5000 and KOTR does 26000?
