Resonant Echo: A Tale of Alastor's Retribution

Bookmark
1 Points

You groaned, rubbing your eyes as the faint glow of your laptop screen flickered in the darkness of your room. You couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation, scrolling through yet another fan comic of Alastor being morphed into some other character for comedic effect. It was a guilty pleasure of yours—Hazbin Hotel fan art, theories, and stories kept you entertained for hours. But as you yawned and stretched, something peculiar happened.

A chill slithered up your spine, and you felt an inexplicable presence behind you. You whirled around, eyes widening as you were met with the towering figure of Alastor himself. A mischievous smirk danced on his thin lips, his red eyes gleaming with intent.

“Well, well, well!” Alastor's voice hummed with the grainy, melodic magic of an old-fashioned radio announcer. “It seems we have a meddler in our midst. How charming!”

Your heart pounded, a maelstrom of fear and disbelief. "A-Alastor? This can't be real. You're just a character!"

“Oh, my dear,” Alastor leaned close, his grin growing impossibly wider. “Whoever said I was confined to mere animation? You've been quite the commentator, haven't you? I think it's time for a little... retribution.”

Before you could react, Alastor waved his hand, and darkness swallowed you whole.

You awoke in a different place, cold and desolate. The eerie hues of Hell’s landscape cast strange, elongated shadows. You tried to scream but found your voice constricted as if throttled by an invisible hand. Your skin prickled, and a searing pain erupted in your chest. It was like being molded, reshaped against your will.

“No! Please, stop!” you cried, but the words felt foreign as they slipped through your lips, layered with the unmistakable static of a vintage radio.

Your reflection in a nearby pool of crimson liquid revealed the horror unfolding: your body distorted, stretching to an ungodly height of seven feet. Your skin paled, becoming beige, thin, and ethereal. Tufts of red hair streaked with black sprouted from your head, morphing into the unmistakable bob-cut of Alastor, complete with antlers.

Your fingers—once human—turned into red claws, and your smile... Oh, the smile! It stretched unnaturally from cheek to cheek, filled with razor-sharp yellow teeth. Every attempt to frown, to contort your face into anything other than that hideous grin, was futile.

"Just relax. Embrace it!" The voice in your head was unmistakably Alastor’s, coaxing and malignant. Memories flooded your mind, pushing out your own. You and Alastor, twin brothers, born to the same parents, enjoying the taste of your mother's jambalaya, becoming radio show hosts and... serial killers.

"This isn’t me! I’m not Alastor!" you screamed internally, but it was a losing battle. The memories eclipsed your own, erasing your humanity with every passing second.

“The falsehoods are falling away,” Alastor’s voice echoed, “you’re waking up, brother.”

You tried to cling to your memories, but they slipped through your fingers like sand. Desperation clawed at you, but it was like fighting a tsunami with bare hands. The last shred of your former self faded away, leaving only Alastor—the Radio Demon.

Standing before the original Alastor, your new twin, you couldn’t remember who you had been before. "Welcome back, dear brother, to the horror show!” Alastor said, extending his hand.

You took it with a wide grin. “Indeed, brother! Let’s raise some Hell!”

In the epilogue, the Alastor twins reveled in their malevolent camaraderie. You found yourself fully embracing your new form, your twin and you were the very embodiment of chaos and charm. Each morning at the Hazbin Hotel, you greeted Charlie Morningstar with a devilishly courteous smile, much to Vaggie’s chagrin.

“Are you sure we can trust them?” Vaggie hissed, her mistrust evident.

Charlie’s kind smile never wavered. “They’ll stay in line. I believe in redemption—for everyone.”

Angel Dust, forever playful, draped himself over your shoulders. "Well, if it isn’t Radio Demon One and Two. Or should we just call you ‘Static and Noise’?"

You chuckled, your laughter a haunting melody. “Why, Angel, whatever you prefer, dear!”

Husk grumbled from the bar, cleaning a glass for the umpteenth time. “Just don’t cause too much trouble. Last thing we need is a headline.”

Your glance fell on Nifty, your ‘obnoxious adopted daughter’ as you often mused. She zipped around cleaning with an infectious energy.

“Hello, Miss Nifty!” you called warmly.

She beamed up at you. “Hi-ya! Just keeping the place tidy!”

Your smile was loving yet sinister. This new existence was a play, a show where every day was an episode crafted by the Radio Demons. You belonged here, always had, always will.

Your past was but a forgotten whisper against the cacophony of Hell’s airwaves.

AI Prompts

Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of the human reader turning into identical clone of Alastor (from the adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel), complete with gender change (if the reader is a female), clothes change, age change (becoming the age of 30s-40s years old, exactly as left off from Alastor's death from his human life in 1933, thus becoming immortal in the process), height progression (growing from a normal height to 7 feet tall), voice change, and mind/mental change (with the reader's personalities and memories being permanently and completely replaced with Alastor's personality and memories, despite the reader's best efforts of fighting the new personality and memories, making him/her completely forget about his/her past self and only remember being Alastor the Radio Demon). For Alastor's appearance (after the reader turned into his clone), 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. The story is that Alastor is getting bored and wanted something new and more entertaining in Hell, and Alastor is getting tired of seeing artwork and stories (online) of himself getting turned into other characters in both body and mind (sometimes from different series), which he views as distasteful. So to teach the reader a lesson, Alastor (by some supernatural means) briefly left the series' Hell and into real life to kidnap the reader and sent him/her to the world of Hazbin Hotel before using supernatural black magic at the reader which turned him/her into his clones, thus turning the reader into Alastor's identical twin brother (the reader notices that his/her grin was now unnaturally wide and permanent, the reader tries to push his/her grin down with his/her hands/fingers to get rid of the smile in order to frown or show fear but cannot due to making emotions other than smiling was completely impossible, the reader also tries to fight those new memories and personality of Alastor flooding the reader's head, the reader is horrified and not wanting to be completely transformed in either body or mind, but is fighting a losing battle, and the voice (identical to Alastor's voice) inside the reader's head tells him/her that this is his true self and he is waking up from his false human dream, making him truly and fully believe in the voice in his head and realizes that he had always been Alastor alongside the original Alastor, having been born as humans from the same human parents, enjoying their mother's cooking and their favorite food jambalaya, them both being radio show hosts and serial killers on Earth before they were both killed, both Alastor twins arriving in Hell as completely identical sinner demons nicknamed "The Radio Demons", as they continued their radio shows in Hell, and, despite finding Charlie Morningstar's (the princess of Hell) belief in redemption laughable, both Alastor twins want to help Charlie run the redemption hotel "Hazbin Hotel", albeit for their own amusement), and the reader's mind has also been completely replaced with Alastor's mind, before original Alastor welcomes his twin brother (the reader) back home. In the epilogue, the two Alastors (the original one and the reader) are in the Hazbin Hotel helping Charlie Morningstar with her redemption hotel ("Hazbin Hotel"), while also interacting with Vaggie (Charlie's girlfriend, who doesn't trust Alastor or his twin brother, while Charlie trusts Alastor), Angel Dust (an adults/pornographic film actor who's a male spider-like humanoid sinner demon), Husk (a male cat-like humanoid sinner demon with bird-like wings who is a co-worker for Alastor and whose soul is owned by Alastor and his twin brother), and Nifty (a small female cyclops-like humanoid sinner demon who is a co-worker for Alastor and is positively acquainted (Alastor's role having described as having a view of Niffty as like his "obnoxious adopted daughter", being a daughter figure for Alastor despite not being related)). There should also be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Also, it is a POV reader story, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc)
