Stanley felt a large wave of energy flow into him. Not only was the energy within the Space Nova now belonging to him, but he also had a large chunk of what he had just gathered sent into him.
He collapsed to the ground at the very moment, unable to handle the intensity of so much flowing into him at once. The amount of satisfaction he felt at that very moment, albeit clearly not a real emotion, was mind-numbing.
It was something he wanted more of. Something he could imagine himself going the extra mile to achieve.
However, he quickly grasped onto his thoughts and shook his head.
'No, get a hold of yourself, Stanley,' he told himself. Even then, it took a moment for him to calm down. He was out of breath after the battle and slowly got up as Sheila pulled him up.
"Are you okay? What happened?" she asked, worried.
Stanley shook his head. "I'm alright. I just got a bunch of energy from him."
