Summary
Riku frowns at it, then gasps, registering the changes. Soul Eater is… different. The same, but not. The hilt is no longer so demonic in shape. Half of it has changed, becoming feathers, shaped softly like a bird's wing. The length of the blade is longer, the end still curving into the sharp spikes, but another feathery wing branching off the end. Becoming the teeth… of a Key—
No. No.
Riku drops it in a panic, heart fluttering. Did he steal Sora's Keyblade again? He can't have — Sora still had his when they fought. Riku hadn't pulled it to himself, exerted his will to claim it.
No, this is Soul Eater still. His blade. Darkness still courses through it; of course it is his.
What has he done?
Riku, a changing Keyblade, and the breaking of the day after the night.

Summary
In a burst of gleaming light, his Keyblade forges itself anew, answering his call and reflecting how his heart has grown and changed.
Riku lifts it up, noting how much heavier it is.
No longer wicked and curved, his new blade is a straight line of broad silver, indented along the edges. There's no decoration and no teeth — this is a blade designed purely to strike and defend. He's not the jealous, bitter boy he was, and his Keyblade is no longer so sharp, so poisonous in looks.
It's the weapon of a hero: a great, glittering greatsword he'll wield to protect those he cares for.
Riku smiles softly, his heart pounding in his chest. It's his. His Keyblade.
Riku and identity, reforged into his new Keyblade in the wake of change.
