In the dilapidated ruins of what once used to be a swanky Hellbound nightclub, Angel Dust swayed lazily on a broken bar stool, nursing his third glass of some indeterminate, hellishly-brewed liquor. His cerise pink irises danced across the shattered glasses and stained counters, reflection catching fleeting moments of his past debauchery.
"Damn, Angel," he muttered to himself, twirling the glass in his slender hand. "To think this place used to be jumping. Now it's just me and a mess of bad decisions."
He was interrupted as a sudden shift in the atmosphere warped the stagnant air, replacing the musty scent of the closed-down establishment with an almost sickeningly sweet aroma. His acute spider senses tingled. "What the fuck…?" Angel whispered just before a blinding light burst forth, instantly stealing his vision.
When his eyes adjusted, Angel Dust saw a beautiful, ethereal figure standing before him. "Who the hell are you supposed to be?" he barked, snapping his golden fang into view.
The figure moved gracefully, revealing himself to be none other than Lucifer Morningstar, the King of Hell and a fallen angel. Lucifer’s white skin seemed to radiate its own light, and his eyes, devoid of irises but crackling with power, bore into Angel Dust's own crimson gaze.
"Angel Dust," Lucifer's voice rolled out like honeyed thunder, "your time as a demon has come to a close."
Angel's cocky demeanor faltered as he responded, "Oh yeah? And who are you to decide that?"
Lucifer gave a melancholic smirk, raising his cane. "The ruler of this damned realm, of course. Now, it's time to transform into something grander, something more fitting for this inferno."
Before Angel could retort, the tip of Lucifer’s cane emitted an overwhelming golden glow that enveloped him. Piercing pain rippled through his body, as if every atom was being shattered and reformed. Angel's cerise pink eyes widened, and he screamed out, "FUCK! What the hell are you doing to me?!"
Lucifer's eyes remained impassive. "You will cease to be."
Angel Dust’s 8-foot frame began to waver, his muscular build shrinking, transforming even as he writhed in pain. Wisps of white fur and pink patches evaporated into golden sparks, drifting away as if caught in an unseen breeze. The heart-shaped pattern on his chest melted into luminescent liquid, trailing down and leaving his body void of previous markings.
His spider-like limbs folded back into his body, merging muscle and bone. His once thrashing, pointed, and clawed hands grew refined and smooth, grazed with a faint dark grey shimmer. Angel Dust's white mop of hair receded into his scalp, replaced by short-cut, blonde hair with thin, light coral streaks. The metamorphosis tugged and pulsed, reshaping and narrowing features, erasing every visual echo of Angel Dust's presence.
His eyes underwent the final change: the cerise pink fading to a chilling light yellow with red slit pupils. Memories of a boisterous life filled with vice and vulgarity burned away, replaced by visions and whispers of divine light, scorching fall, and reigning over Hell.
As the transformation completed, Angel—no, Lucifer Morningstar—collapsed to the ground. The figure now resembled a humanoid in mid-to-late twenties, his height around six feet. Gone were the flamboyant suits and high-heeled boots, replaced by red-lined, ceremonially regal white attire.
Lucifer steadied himself, eyes opening with awakened awareness. The King of Hell rose to his feet, brushing the dirt off his pristine coat. He noticed the surroundings, the ruined bar, and an apple rolled at his feet. Picking it up, he took a thoughtful bite.
"Welcome back, my liege," a voice echoed from the dark corners.
Lucifer turned to see a pupil-less, small goat demons, Razzle and Dazzle, bowing in reverence.
"Ah, Razzle, Dazzle." Lucifer's voice was soothing yet authoritative. "It’s been a while."
Razzle straightened, replying, “Yes, my lord. Do you feel alright?”
Lucifer nodded slightly but hesitated, realizing the gap in warmth and memory where Angel Dust once lived. "Yes, but I feel this emptiness..." He paused and shook his head slightly.
"It doesn’t matter. Some ends make way for greater beginnings," Lucifer rationalized, more to himself than to his subjects.
“Tell me…” he continued, his eyes catching his own white reflection in a shattered mirror fragment. "What has been happening with Charlie since I last saw her?"
Dazzle stepped forward, concern evident in his small eyes. “She’s still tirelessly working on her redemption project, the Hazbin Hotel. She misses you, my lord.”
Lucifer's posture softened momentarily, a hint of paternal regret sweeping over him. "I see. I must make amends then. The king has awoken.”
With regal composure, Lucifer Morningstar turned away from the ruins of the nightclub, leaving behind the remnants of who he had once been. Haunted, perhaps, by fragments of a playful and destructive past life, now forgotten in the tangles of an eternal reign of divinity and doom. Charlie needed him, and Hell awaited his rule anew.
As Lucifer strolled out, the dark corners whispered myths and truths, the cosmos adjusting to the true king’s reawakening.

Prompt: Write the transformation story of Angel "Anthony" Dust (from the adults cartoon/animated series "Hazbin Hotel" made by VivziePop) turning into Lucifer Morningstar (also from the adults cartoon/animated series "Hazbin Hotel" made by VivziePop), complete with age progression (making him older than Earth itself), height regression, and mind/mental change (with Angel's personality and memories being completely replaced with Lucifer's personality and memories, making him completely forget that he was a sinner demon or a spider-like adults actor Angel Dust and only remembered ever being a fallen angel and the King of Hell named Lucifer Morningstar). For Angel Dust's appearance, he has a slender build and he stands around 8 feet with his heels on. His fur is white and he has a mop of fluffy white hair that extends from both the front and back of his head, with splotches of light-pink across it. He also has a distinctive and focal light-pink heart pattern on the back of his head. The light-pink outline of a heart also encircles his chest, the bottom point of which extends past his waistband and down to his crotch area. His eyelids are light pink and the color extends up to his eyebrows, giving the effect of eyeshadow, and his lashes are dark and thick. His irises are cerise pink. His right eye has a light yellow sclera, his left eye has a dark sclera. He has a wide mouth full of sharp, pointed teeth and possesses a single golden fang that sits slightly to his right of center. He has three cerise-pink dots under each of his eyes, which are intended to evoke freckles, although they are actually another set of smaller eyes. One of Angel's most noticeable features is his prominent chest. The chest is actually composed entirely of fluffy fur, however, which Angel intentionally pushes up into a breast-like formation with his tightly pinned jacket for show. Angel's everyday attire consists of a long light pink suit-blazer with horizontal white stripes down the length, reddish-grey miniskirt, and long reddish-grey thigh-high heeled boots, accessorized with a reddish-grey bowtie with a cerise pink center and a black choker. On his top set of arms he wears long cerise pink gloves with white detailing at the cuffs, on his bottom set of arms he wears long white gloves. Though, usually seen with six limbs, Angel has a third retractable set of arms that he usually keeps hidden but can summon at will. Angel is brash and sarcastic, with a quick, sharp wit. He will often use these traits to deflect criticism or insults, and side-step responsibility. He will switch between playful and destructive as he pleases, and his humor tends to be crude and crass, with an emphasis on dirty jokes and innuendos, which he feels is expected of him and actively plays into. He is stylish and performs an excessive amount of confidence with his public persona, being wildly flirtatious and interested in receiving positive attention for his looks and the profile he has made for himself in Hell. He also makes a show of looking down others, declaring the other denizens of Hell to be mostly "ugly freaks". As a result, Angel can often appear flippant and callous. In reality he is preemptively defensive and hides much of his true, more sensitive and insecure, self for his own protection, not expecting those around him to show him kindness. For Lucifer Morningstar's appearance after Angel Dust turned into him (and no, he is not Satan, since Lucifer and Satan are separate characters, and Lucifer represents the sin of Pride whereas Satan represents the sin of Wrath), he is about 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall and he has literally pure white skin. His hair is blonde, short-cut, and is slicked back with one tuft sticking out, and his blonde hair has thin light coral streaks on the thicker, paler blonde highlights. He has no facial hair on the lower half of his face (no beard, mustache, sideburns, etc), but he has eyelashes and sharp black eyebrows. He also has thin lips, and a mouth full of sharp white teeth. He has a biologically mid-to-late 20s aged body (despite being older than Earth itself and Lucifer being immortal). He has no visible ears or nose (not even a nose ridge, nose cartilage, or nostrils), giving him a less "human" appearance and instead having flat, smooth surfaces where the ears and nose would be. His eyes (which do not have irises) are light yellow with red slit pupils resembling those of a snake. He, like his daughter (Charlie Morningstar), has a large red circle pattern on each of his cheeks. His eyelids are light purple which give the appearance of eyeshadow. His forearms (including his hands) also appear to be dark grey, and it is noticeable when his sleeves are rolled up. Lucifer's white-red clothing is somewhat like a circus ringmaster; he wears a wide-brimmed white top hat with a golden snake and a red apple over golden spikes, which resemble a crown, and a red-lined and red-trimmed white popped-collared suit with eight golden buttons - his coat is worn over a light red-and-white striped waistcoat with two golden buttons and a small, accessorized black bowtie. He also wears a pair of long white poofy pants neatly tucked under a set of heeled black knee-high boots. On his left pinkie, he sports a golden ring which is presumably his wedding ring. Lucifer is usually seen carrying a red apple-topped black cane that matches his hat. Due to his angelic origins, he possesses six white wings with red feathers, which he can materialize and extend from his coat. He is shorter than his daughter, Charlie (who stands over 6 feet, around 6 and a half feet tall), and his wife, Lilith (who stands over 6-and-a-half feet tall). Despite his very thin body, Lucifer has the following powers; Flight (able to summon his six bird-like angelic wings from his back and he is capable of flying), angelic power (as a fallen angel, he possesses very strong angelic power, which holds sway over the demonic power of his contemporaries), demonic magic (as King of Hell, Lucifer has accessity to demonic magic at a much higher level than his daughter), hand-to-hand combat, super strength (as the King of Hell and one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Lucifer's strength is quite exceptional, as when he fought Adam (the Hazbin Hotel series' main antagonist/villain) he barely put any effort into the fight and easily defeating the powerful angel), shapeshifting (able to change into many forms and animals at will, for example; according to the Story of Hell, Lucifer briefly took the form of a snake (possibly his favorite animal form), and in the episode "The Show Must Go On", he took the forms of a snake, a goat, a bird, a horse, and an octopus (these animal forms are just examples of what animals he can shapeshift to), and when he shapeshifts, he still keeps some of his traits, like color scheme, red cheeks, hair, black bowtie, and white top hat), size manipulation (Lucifer changes his size a few times during the song number "Hell's Greatest Dad" in the episode "Dad Beat Dad", first when he’s sitting on his throne in front of Charlie where he is very large, and the second being when he falls out of the slot machine where he is much smaller), duplication (he can create multiple copies of himself), portal creation (he is able to conjure portals as a means of instant transportation, which other demons can use; for me example, Lucifer’s portals manifest as rings of sparkly light, being similar to the portal that took and removed Charlie and Vaggie in from Heaven in the episode "Welcome to Heaven", indicating that this ability is derived from his angelic powers), pyrokinesis (like his daughter, Charlie, he also has the power to manipulate fire at will), fire breath (in his full demon form, he can make fire come out of his mouth at will when he speaks), teleportation (he can teleport to any location by covering himself with glittery red mists), life manipulation (Lucifer is able to create and manipulate life; for example, he created Razzle and Dazzle (two small goat-like winged demons who serve the royal Morningstar family as personal bodyguards for Charlie and the rest of the family)), conjuration (he can create virtually anything he desires with a simple flick of the wrist, including but not limited to clothing, puppets, instruments, large fountains of champagne, and mountains of caviar), liquid manipulation (he is capable of carrying, manipulate, and throw yellow-colored liquid), ventriloquism, and full demon transformation (when Lucifer takes on his full demonic form, as well as displaying his wings, Lucifer displays a pair of red horns with an orb of fire between them and a thin crown resembling a snake with an apple above his hat, while his eyes also change to have red sclera with yellow pupils (unlike in his default form), he also has a black devil-like tail with spikes that ends in a triangular tip with a red heart at the center, while demonic eyes also appear on the inside his coattails; a similar eye also appears on his bowtie, in addition, his entire body gives off a light white glow). He also has musical talent (similar to his daughter Charlie, Lucifer partakes in singing), instrumental talent (he's known to be quite a skilled in various instruments, including being a very skilled fiddle player; Lucifer also can play an accordion to a minor degree), and great craftsmanship (Lucifer spends his time alone making rubber ducks with various gimmicks such as flipping backwards and spitting fire). Here's Lucifer's personality; despite his status as the ruler (king) of all of Hell, Lucifer possesses a grandiose and dramatic nature, acting very over-the-top in most situations. He switches between being silly and theatrical and awkward and melancholic. Like Charlie, Lucifer is ambitious in his beliefs. According to the "The Story of Hell" book Charlie reads in "Overture", Lucifer was an idealistic dreamer whose desire to gift humankind with free will led to the accidental creation of Hell and the subsequent banishment of it caused him to give up his dreams. After he and Lilith separated, Lucifer went into isolation and fell into depression. He coped by crafting and hoarding tons of rubber ducks, spending years in his home. This obsession also causes him to become estranged from his daughter, to the point where he barely calls her at all and thinks she does not want to talk to him. As a father, he falls short of expectations. Although he loves Charlie dearly, he seems to be preoccupied with his own problems. He rarely calls her, and when he does, it's usually because he's bored or needs something. When Charlie reached out to him for help in setting up a meeting with Heaven, he was thrilled to hear from her. However, he couldn't recall where she was or what she was doing, even though she had shared her passion project, the Hazbin Hotel, with him months ago. He also wasn't aware that Charlie was dating someone, or that she was attracted to women. This indicates that, despite his love for Charlie, he doesn't communicate with her and hasn't built up a relationship with her, though it was shown that Lucifer was much closer to Charlie in her childhood, even being the one that inspired her to pursue her dreams and passions, only becoming more distant in Charlie’s adulthood. While he is the King of Hell, Lucifer hardly rules over his subjects and leaves them to their own devices. As a result, his name (and, by extension, Charlie) carries little weight. While the denizens of Hell recognize that he is a powerful force to be reckoned with, they seem to know that little, if anything, would make him show up. Lucifer dislikes the Sinners of Hell and describes them as "violent, destructive psychopaths, hellbent on causing as much pain and destruction as possible". According to him, they are all "the worst" he does not believe they can be redeemed and he cares little for what happens to them. Despite his disapproval of Sinners, Lucifer hints that he regrets his role in ever giving them free will due to what they had done with it and the consequences that came from this. Although he understands his daughter's interest in rehabilitating Sinners, Lucifer is cynical about the idea of trying to save any of them, as he attempted to redeem sinners in the past, stating that Charlie doesn't know when he tried this all before, and that his dreams were too hard to defend. Since Heaven was so unwilling to listen to him in the past, he does not want Charlie to go through the same thing. However, she still manages to convince him to arrange a meeting in Heaven for her and Vaggie, which helps Lucifer regain faith in her plans. Lucifer is fiercely protective of Charlie, as seen when he threatens her bodyguards, Razzle and Dazzle, that they had better been doing their job protecting her. Later, when Alastor began rubbing in his failings to be a proper, supportive father to Charlie and her dreams and implying he had taken Lucifer's place as Charlie's father figure, Lucifer displayed jealousy toward Alastor, whom he began to see as a rival for Charlie's affection and became insecure about his father-daughter bond with her. In "The Show Must Go On", he arrived late, but joined the fight against Adam (the series' main villain/antagonist) and the Exorcists, helping Charlie defeat them. This protective nature is shown again when at one point, Adam tries to strike both Lucifer and Charlie from behind for them to block his blow and send him flying into the dirt. Dropping the mocking attitude he had previously given to Adam during their fight, Lucifer then proceeds to angrily berate Adam for threatening him and Charlie before beating him within an inch of his life, only stopping at Charlie's insistence. Lucifer is often times careless and doesn't think about what he says, even appearing clueless at times. For example, when confronting Adam, Lucifer misworded a verbal threat as an innuendo instead and smiled proudly afterward, and when Charlie corrects him, he forgets what he said. In his first meeting with Vaggie, he calls her "Maggie" right after being told her name. Additionally, even with his monumental position, he is rather socially awkward, for example, trying to connect with Charlie by excitedly bringing up that they both like girls. However, he is not afraid to fight or get violent, as shown when he fearlessly battles Adam and beats him up violently. In the process, he is unafraid to act cocky and successfully irritate Adam by reminding him about his failure with Lilith, as well as suggesting he slept with Eve. Lucifer shows more intimidation prowess when he orders Lute to "take her 'little friends' and go home". Even so, he adds "please" politely, showing his generally refined manner.Sp Here are Lucifer's preferences (his likes and dislikes); he likes/loves his daughter Charlie (he even supports his daughter), circus imagery, rubber ducks (including crafting rubber ducks), singing, caramel apples, pancakes, musical instruments, girls, and polka music. However he dislikes sinners demons (including Alastor the Radio Demon), having given sinners a chance, Heaven's rules (especially Heaven's hypocrisy), the Hazbin Hotel's name (including the Hazbin Hotel's bar), someone teasing about his short height, see his daughter Charlie sad, and his daughter Charlie getting in harm's way (including the thought of his daughter (Charlie) being crushed by Heaven like he was), and himself being separated from his wife Lilith. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story (including swears/cursing from Angel Dust himself) so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking.
