In the infernal cityscape of Hell, where chaos, malevolence, and fiery dread were the norms of day-to-day life, Alastor the Radio Demon roamed with an ever-present smile wide and triumphant on his face. However, on this particularly sinister day, the eternal villain would experience the unraveling of his very existence.
Alastor strutted down the scorching streets, his heels clicking with the assurance of his collected malevolence. The red pinstripes of his coat almost merged with the fiery backdrop of Hell. He tipped his monocle, surveying Hell's denizens going about their wicked business. Few dared to meet his gaze, for even Hell feared Alastor.
The weather was unusually split between blazing flame and enigmatic shadow, curls of dark mist weaving through the building walls as if forced there by some ethereal hand. Not far from the Hazbin Hotel, Charlie and Vaggie, accompanied by Husk and Niffty, were busy discussing an outreach program, unaware of the looming horror that awaited their not-so-gracious host.
"I say, Charlie," Alastor announced, his voice crackling like a vintage radio, the syllables rifting through the air, "How do you plan on curbing their chaotic tendencies this time?" His deadly grin was playful but held an undercurrent of mirthful challenge.
Before Charlie could respond, the ground beneath Alastor began to shift, the veves of old demonic magic glowing beneath his polished shoes. He saw the runes too late, an intoxicating crimson light enveloping him. He tried to move, but his limbs felt like they were being pulled by invisible strings, the symbols of ancient hexes wrapping up his legs and over his torso, seams breaking forth red symbols.
"This is different," Alastor muttered, feeling a tinge of something unfamiliar—fear. The runes held him steadfast, binding his entire being. He cast his gaze around for the source of his plight, but it was in vain.
"Alastor!" Charlie shrieked, her hand reaching out, but she was powerless to help, as the energetic fountain cleaved him from reality.
Alastor's coat merged into his skin, disappearing while reappearing in new paranoid configurations. His sharp teeth dulled in sensation, his demonic visage warping. His once-seeing eyes dimmed like burnt-out lamps. The transformation hastened, his large antlers and bob-cut shifting into an aerodynamic shape. The dark fibers of his hair elongated, offering a concurrent duel against fabric and substance.
"What trickery is this?" Alastor bellowed, his voice already starting to distort, channeling more like the static hiss of a disrupted signal.
Beneath his feet, gentle jabs pricked, bringing him to his knees. Black deer hoofprints metamorphed into massive steel rims and tires. His weight burgeoned exponentially; his once-slender form squaring up and expanding, and somehow the entirety of hell seemed to sigh under his newfound mass. The transformation exacted more than physical means—it ravaged his consciousness. He struggled to retain memories—old radio shows, human pasts, culinary indulgences—they fluttered like fading echoes in the void.
He could feel them just slipping away... Charlie's outreach plans, his devious bargains, the scintillating reflections of Voodoo magic—all fading into nothingness.
"Charlie, save me!" But his once-potent charms were now helpless. His body completed its transitioning. The deafening finality broke the air like a gong. The Radio Demon was no more.
In his place stood a pristine red transit bus. Visibly marked by a bright hue, Alastor's transformation was registered in the pal-style coating, stripes of obsidian seamlessly radiating. Destination signs flickered with an incoherent last attempt to reclaim purposes—before becoming static addressed. The onboard weighing mechanism captured a significant 14-ton press, with myriad seats symmetrically patterned.
Charlie, Vaggie, Husk, and Niffty stared in speechless awe. What remained was just an object, so mundane yet strikingly irrevocable.
"Alastor... by Lucifer's flames, what have you turned into?" Vaggie murmured, open-mouthed in disbelief.
"I'm just hoping the passersby have their bus fare," Husk stated dryly, recognizing they were unable to reverse the morbid transformation.
Alastor's soulful remnants tried fiercely to recall their essence, seeking escape from their inert prison—but the veil fell; mind dissolved; nothing.
The bus recognition, overhead machinery ran, while the world aboard continued its unfeeling course. The Radio Demon's beams never glinted malevolently again. His malice, deceptive charisma, every beam of sentience—obliterated. No more pacts on broadcast, no fervor seething within—a mind and memory erased unto interminable bus stops.
Thus was the fate of Alastor—the fearsome Radio Demon now an immobile, blank slate of utility: a very fine and unusually bright-red transit bus roaming perpetually, unable to recall his daredevilry, with empty circuit loops as his silent testament.

Prompt: Write a transformation story of Alastor (from an adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel) turning into a red transit 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 transit bus's appearance (after Alastor turned into that bus), it is a large single-decker bus with large and sometimes multiple doors for ease of boarding and exiting, minimal or no luggage space, bench or bucket seats, with no coachlike head-rests, destination blinds/displays such as headsigns or rollsigns or electronic dot matrix/LED signs, legal standing-passenger capacity, fare taking/verification equipment, and a pull cord or bus stop request button. It also has passenger information systems, multimedia, WiFi, USB charging points, entertainment/advertising, and passenger comforts such as heating and air-conditioning. It has a length of 12 metres and weigh up to 14 tons. 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.
