Colossal, terrifying, and formidable are the three words characterizing the entity that emerged from the portal. The portal, which was proportional in size to the entity, started to seal shut as the entirety of the being passed through the rift.

It donned ebony armor reminiscent of a knight's, adorned with elegant golden accents. Extending from its back was a deep blue cape, drifting gracefully in the void of space. This cape also bore intricate golden designs similar to what the armor has. 

In its grasp, it held a long, dark blue sword emitting an eerie energy. This blade appeared to have the power to create the portal that warped the space around it.

Its face remained concealed beneath a helmet featuring elongated horns of the same dark hue as its armor. The sole feature visible to any observer was the piercing, ice-cold blue eyes.

However, the ominous knight was not alone as it sat atop another creature resembling a horse. This unique steed has two additional legs located in front of its body. It wore a black coat with a matching mane and tail. The mount also has glowing blue cracks running through its body.

Both entities appeared unfazed and exhibited the capability to survive the cold and harsh environment of space

Both entities appeared unfazed and exhibited the capability to survive the cold and harsh environment of space. The knight surveyed its surroundings, eventually fixing its cold, menacing, blue eyes on the distant Astral Express. Within its icy, piercing blue eyes lay one singular thought: destruction.

Upon spotting the target to obliterate, the knight initiated towards the train to fulfill its mission. Its loyal steed obediently followed its master's directive, beginning to trot toward the Astral Express, each step releasing lightning. The horse's pace quickened, transitioning from a trot to a gallop.

The rider readied its blade, intending to bring an end to both the existence of the Astral Express and its occupants. This action prompted the members inside the vehicle to brace themselves for a battle that could result in their demise.

~ Astral Express, Parlor Car ~

While the hostile knight charged towards them, Welt and Himeko readied themselves for combat. Among the remaining passengers, some were uncertain, fearful, or too shocked. March appeared frozen in fear due to what she was witnessing. Dan Heng seemed hesitant to join the fight, and Pom-Pom was absent, likely having fled to find a hiding place while the capable adults took charge of the situation.
