Steve bent forward and grabbed one of Eric's legs, then lifted him in the air, upside down. He stopped when the two were face-to-face.
"Y-you're not going to hurt me, are you?" Eric asked nervously, looking Steve's massive body up and down.
"No," Steve replied. "I just want you to stay out of my way for what I'm about to do."
He walked over to the machine's controls, still carrying Eric upside down. He adjusted them to his liking, Eric's eyes going wide as he read the data on the screen.
"Sorry about this, but I just need more." Without warning, Steve tossed the smaller guy across the room, smashing into a pile of cardboard boxes. Eric landed on the ground, a small gash above his left eye, totally unconscious.
Unconcerned, Steve then walked back towards the machine, just as it was powering up. He could feel the warmth encompass his body once more, eventually turning hot, as it had done twice before. Then the growth started.
He could feel his muscles expanding, his body inching upward in height as he grew. The power coursing through his body was indescribable; Steve felt indestructible at this point.
Another minute passed before the machine finally powered down. Steve walked over to the controls to see that the machine grew him to his desired size.
HEIGHT: 8'6"
WEIGHT: 600 pounds
CHEST: 100"
ARMS: 45"
LEGS: 60
WAIST: 50
CALVES: 40
Steve smiled, shutting off the machine. He walked over to a full-length mirror that was standing up against the wall. He flexed one of his arms, pleased at the monstrous mound of muscle that rose up.
He was about to leave, but not before...
