Under the perpetually dim sky of Hell, Alastor hummed an old, forgotten tune, his unnervingly wide grin flashing through the murky air. The streets of Pentagram City seemed to echo with his every step, shadows shifting in his wake. His crimson pinstripe coat flowed like liquid sin, contrasting with the scattered charred debris of the city's eternal torment. Today was a day filled with possibility.
"Ah, my dear damely denizens, a new chapter awaits us! What delightful chaos shall we conjure today?" Alastor announced, his voice echoing as if through a vintage radio. Yet something more sinister than usual hovered in the demonic air, an unknown presence that whispered warnings even to the unperturbed Radio Demon.
As Alastor moved through the streets, the shadows began to writhe and twist unnaturally, converging towards a single point in the distance. Intrigued, he followed the shadows' lead, curiosity taking over his usually methodical demeanor.
When he arrived at the source, a portal unlike any he had seen before gaped open, swirling in outrageously vibrant colors.
"What do we have here? A portal to... where, exactly?" Alastor murmured, his red eyes gleaming with both suspicion and excitement. He approached, extending his cane with the macabre microphone attached, but before he could inspect it closely, the portal surged forward with a voracious pull, twisting and distorting his entire form.
"Aaaagh! What sorcery is this?" Alastor screamed, his voice crackling into static.
His body contorted beyond his control, his shadow magic flailing uselessly against the powerful magic. His sharp claws became blunt and heavy, his entire frame expanding and growing until it dwarfed the charred buildings around him. His finely tailored clothes fused with his merging form, the red and black hues mixing to paint a vast, mechanical structure.
"No! I will not concede to some... pedestrian transformation!" Alastor's protest echoed futilely. Straining to maintain his composure, he felt his consciousness slipping like sand between his clawed fingers. His pinstripe coat became the sleek red and black body of the bus, his legs and hooves stretching into wheels and axles.
His broad, menacing grin solidified into the chrome grille, his monocled eye widening into a massive, unblinking windshield. The process was excruciating, not physically, but mentally. Memories of his life, his deals, his cunning brilliance all began to fade, replaced with an overwhelming emptiness.
The transformation was complete. Stretched across the smooth surface of the bus were remnants of Alastor’s distinctive hair—black tips now just black stripes along the bus's top, crimson paint gleaming unnaturally in the Hellish light.
"I... I am not... just an object!" Alastor's mind screamed within this metal prison, but there was no one to hear.
A passerby, another hapless demon, stopped to glance at the bus now standing staunchly in Alastor's usual haunt. "What’s this about? Bus in Hell? The irony's amusing."
But the bus gave no response, no sneering retort, no menacing hum of malevolent radio waves. Inside, the last flickers of Alastor's consciousness grasped at recognition, at memories slipping through the neural void. Then, darkness—complete and utter mental void.
In the days that followed, Hell's residents began to adapt to the new, intimidating double-decker bus that now served to transport the damned.
"Who would've thought Hell could be this efficient?" one demon chuckled upon boarding the bus for the first time.
As for the Radio Demon, Alastor's grand schemes, his twisted entertainments, were no more. For all his supernatural prowess, his deal-making cunning, he was now vehicular and vacant.
From high above, the Prince of Hell watched, entertained by the grand irony. "Ah, Alastor. Even the mightiest fall… and in such a novel way."
And so, the former Radio Demon became a silent witness to the twisted routines of Pentagram City, his once-brilliant mind now forever extinguished within the cold, metallic expanse of a red double-decker bus.
The streets echoed not with his laughter, but with the sound of the bus's wheels turning ruefully over Hell's ashen roads, another inanimate vessel of eternal damnation.

Prompt: Write a transformation story of Alastor (from an adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel) turning into a red red London double-decker bus (from real life), complete with size/weight gain (due to the bus's large size), clothes-body merge (due to his clothes' colour), inanimation (him becoming an inanimate vehicle), and mind/mental loss (with Alastor's personalities and memories being completely going blank, despite his best efforts of holding onto them, making him an inanimate object). For Alastor's appearance, he is a slim (having an unnaturally thin torso, neck, arms, and legs, except his shoulders are broad), dapper sinner demon with beige-colored skin, and usually has an unnaturally broad smile (reaching from each cheek's upper area) full of sharp, yellow teeth (he has no ability to frown due to this permanent smile). He is approximately 7 feet tall. He sports a pinkish-red cropped, angled bob-cut with black tips at the ends and two large, black tipped tufts of hair extending from the top of his head, evoking the ears of a deer. The style has an undercut at the back, and two small black antlers protruding from the crown, which can grow in size in his full demonic form. Alastor's eyes have dark-red sclerae, bright-red irises and thin black pupils (which can change into the shape of radio dials when shifting into his full demon form). He also has four fingers (like all Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss characters), unlike real world humans. His forearms and lower legs fade to dark grey, and he has red hoof-toed feet and red clawed fingers. Alastor wears a red pinstripe coat with dark-red lapels piped with white, which is ragged along the bottom hem. Underneath this he wears a bright red dress-shirt with a black cross on the chest, and long black dress pants with matching bright red cuffs. He also wears a dark-red oval-shaped monocle, rimmed with black, over his right eye. He accessorizes with a black knotted bowtie with a bright red center, black gloves with red at the fingertips, and black pointed-toe boots with red deer hoofprints emblazoned on the soles. Alastor also carries a thin cane with a sentient vintage style microphone attached to it, which he uses to play sound effects and broadcast his voice. His voice also sounds like it is coming from an old-fashioned vintage radio. Alastor has many supernatural powers, such as demon transformation (the ability to turn into a more powerful demon form), flexibility (able to contort his body into numerous unnatural poses), demonic magic (able to cast magic thanks to the high power-level he has accrued in the demon ranking system, this magic takes the visual form of glowing red symbols that resemble Voodoo veve, which float around him), shadow manipulation (able to summon shadows and manipulate them into doing his bidding), spatial warping (able to get around with the help of his shadow, allowing teleportation through this ability), portal creation (able to transport others to his location easily via the portals he makes), pyrokinesis (able to summon small balls of fire for display purpose), phytokinesis (able to make plants wilt with a single stare), manifestation, photokinesis (able to project red glowing light from his eyes as well as his microphone), and outfit alteration (capable of changing the outfits of his targets as well as his own with a snap of a finger). He is also capable of various other abilities including deal-making (as Alastor is known to be a deal-maker demon; deal-maker demons like Alastor can increase their power by dealing in souls, which is a very powerful commodity in hell, so they’re seen as very manipulative and not to be toyed with, deal-making is not something every demon can do, as such it is not to be taken lightly as it doesn’t generally work out well for the other party), broadcasting (when he was a living human, Alastor's profession was as a radio show host, and he continues his broadcasts in Hell as a demon, ensuring that Hell's denizens are aware of his activities over the airwaves, earning him the title of "The Radio Demon"), bilingualism (Alastor can speak English fluently as well as some broken Creole French), cooking (Alastor is noted to be "a big foodie" and mentions having admired his mother's cooking, specifically her Jambalaya), musical/dancing/theatrical talent (Alastor is known to display moderate vocal abilities and excels at dancing, with some people noting tap to be a style he excels in specifically, he also shows a flair for theatrical showmanship), and wide intellect (Alastor is known to be quite a cunning individual, resulting in him accruing a large amount of power through his tricks and deal-making). Alastor stands out from many of the more chaotic residents of hell for his well maintained amiable persona. He gives the first-impression of a good-natured and charming man, wearing a permanently wide grin on his face at all times. Alastor's behavior, mannerisms, and even his voice are similar to an old-fashioned radio announcer and speaks with a transatlantic accent, often using quaint anachronisms such as "the picture show" and refers to Charlie as a "charming demon belle". This playful dandyish exterior, however, obscures a much darker side to him - one with high levels of self-importance - and he will not hesitate to use physical violence when others don't act in line with his very particular values or expectations. For the red London double-decker bus's appearance (after Alastor turned into that bus), it is a large bus with a main entrance door at the front. There are 45 seats on the upper deck, and 22 seats on the lower deck. It has a length of 11.0 metres, a height of 4.39 metres, and weigh up to 18.0 tonnes. Seating capacity is affected by both body length and operator specifications, with the largest designs seating up to 120 passengers. Its paint scheme is bright red with a white top and black stripes on its sides. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking.
