Remains of L4: Outskirts

Three Mobile Weapons warped to the edge of the shattered remains of the L4 colony. Two of them came with the callsign of Ruina teleportation, pillars of negative energy smoke. The third however appeared in a blaze of blood-red lightning.
Two of them were modified Huckebeins instead of Angeli, though they had clearly been inspired by the wasp-like machines. They had boosters on their back identical to the ones Angeli had, the chests had additional plating that hid rockets behind them. The fingers on one of the arms were missing, the hand having been carved to a stump, while the other one held a Directory issued Rectangular Launcher. The pelvic area was completely different from a normal Huckebein, holding in it the stinger-like vacuum cleaner that the Angeli had.
The last one however, was completely different. Purple spikes jutted out of the white frame, the largest being on the shoulders with two chakrams around them. The fists were covered by three large claws on both hands.
It was Priscus Nox, Viggen’s Mobile Weapon. Though much to her chagrin many of the finer mechanisms were still unfinished.
Their main objective was to study the Black Sun, and whether it could be of use to the Ruina. The secondary objective was, like always, to gather negative energy. Even though the Huckebeins could hold less of it than Angeli and the Priscus Nox had enough for an emergency teleportation they could still gather quite a bit. The first thing Viggen noticed was that the Black Sun was calling to them as well as the Lamalice, but the compulsion was easily ignored.
Taking in the ruins of the colony before her and the Lamalice scuttling through them, Viggen grudgingly admired humans. All around the world, nevermind the history of the species, signs of the destruction they could inflict on their own almost by accident were...amazing.
Even if it took away some of her fun.
The three Ruina slowly began their advance towards the colony ruins, keeping a wary eye on the Lamalice, as well as for any other movement.
