It was a beautiful starry night in Pam's Junkyard, one of the most packed(literally) sites in all of Brawltopia with its various metals and scrap. Inside the residence of the Junker Family, there was a small security bot known as Nani with her flying companion, Peep, who is watching over the house while Pam is out for the night searching for more scrap around the region. She instructed Nani to watch over her red-head daughter, Jessie, for the night in case any creature or Brawler would sneak around the junkyard.

Nani, being extra cautious for Jessie's safety, allows Peep to stay in Jessie's room so she can enable the baby cam. With the baby cam on, Nani can see Jessie without being inside her room.
"Now that's one problem sorted. Time to clean!" Nani said to herself as she opened the storage closet by the kitchen to grab a small broom and small scoop.
Nani enjoys cleaning, especially during nighttime, despite any signs of danger that could be lurking around. As she cleaned around the house, something came up from her system.
"BABY CAM DEACTIVATED. FIND NEARBY STATION FOR CHARGE."

This alarmed Nani. How can Peep be deactivated?! Pam had reenergized Peep before she left. Without any hesitation, she ran up to Jessie's room to grab Peep and located a charging station right next to Pam's room beside Jessie's. Peep was plugged on to the station and emitted a beep indicating the charging process had begun. Now that Peep was charging, time to check up on Jessie. As she went back to Jessie's room, Nani gasped in fear. The bed where Jessie was sleeping was now empty.

"Ohhh nooo. How can this be?! I was out for 15 seconds and now she's gone. Pam's gonna be sooo upset with me." Nani exclaimed with oil leaking from her eye. As she wept the oily tears, she noticed something else that didn't catch her eye before weeping. The window was open with the wind blowing from the outside. Nani ran to the window and gazed out looking for any signs of Jessie. From the window, there was a view of the scrap and metal piled up around an area with chained fence around next to the house and a shed presumably where the Junkers would construct various items. Nani finally saw Jessie below the house where the garden was.

"Don't worry Jess. Nani is coming for you" Nani said as she took the long way by going downstairs of the house and through the entrance instead of jumping down from the window(Nani does not want to get damaged herself.)
Once Nani found Jessie, she noticed something was off. Jessie had her eyes still closed but is able to walk normally.
"Sleepwalking? Jess sure is good." Nani jokingly said with her nanny attitude as she came to guide Jessie back to her room. If only were that simple.

Unfortunately for Nani, she got shocked by Jessie's weapon realizing that despite Jessie able to sleepwalk she somehow had her weapon on her and able to shoot like she was on the brawlerfield.
"Ow. Cmon Jess don't hurt your Nani. I'm just gonna guide you back t-" Before Nani could finish her sentence, Jessie shot again on Nani but this time, her attack bounced onto the garden destroying the bushes and plants.
That was the last straw for Nani. All she wanted to do was to watch Jessie to ensure her safety and she failed for a couple seconds to even watch her go missing and having to face a sleepwalking Jessie attacking and destroying the property. Nani was blinded with anger not even focusing her objective, but what she can focus has three words: "Time to Brawl!"
Nani and the sleepwalking Jessie were attacking nonstop at each other throughout the night causing more damage to the garden and even the house being affected from the brawlers' attacks. It went on and on and on until the sun started to rise.

Pam, with her scraps and metals in her storage backpack, was nearing to her junkyard feeling very confident about herself and the objective she gave to her security bot, Nani.
"Woo. Another night, another successful scrapping. I can't wait to see my daughter bright and happy this fine morning and Nani being loving as usual. This scrap should be enough for what's coming. Hehe, everyone's gonna be amazed!" Pam happily said to herself. When she reached home, that feeling of happiness from earlier became empty when she witnessed the Junker residence damaged at a dangerous level and her daughter and security bot, lying on the ground where the garden once was. She quickly ran to her daughter and shouted with tears in her eyes, "No no no no. Wake up Jessie!! This better not be what I think it be!"
Nani reactivated feeling woozy from the brawl she had with Jessie. She realized that Pam returned hugging her daughter tightly believing that she was killed. Nani realized that she had hurt Jessie with many bruises and burns on her skin. Nani didn't want to see Pam upset and went inside the house, which was still secure from the brawl, to locate Peep to see if he was charged up. Hope was not lost however, as Pam could hear Jessie coughing and opening her eyes seeing her mama right in front of her.

"Mama?" Jessie said with a weak tone with some weariness.
"Oh thank goodness you're alive! Mama thought you wouldn't make it. Who did this to you? What happened to our home?" Pam said with panic and relief.
Jessie confused saw around her surroundings and was shocked, seeing the residence "broken beyond repair".
"Huh?! What happened?! I was just sleeping all this time. This is absurd."
"What you were sleeping?
"Yes Mama I don't remember walking around the house while sleeping or even knowing what happened?
"Wait. Sleepwalking?! This doesn't make sense, you have bruises all over your body. Surely that must've awoken you atleast for a bit."
"Sorry Mama I don't know about the bruises although I do recall hearing "Security Alert!" That's all I can remember."
"No. No. This can't be!"
As Nani took out Peep from the charging station and going downstairs, she heard the front door slammed down with Pam right in front of you with a fiery red look on her face.
"NANI!!!! YOU'VE GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!!"
"Oh nooooo! I'm sorry Pam!! This wasn't supposed to happen. Honest!"
"IT'S GONNA TAKE MORE THAN SORRIES TO FORGIVE YOUR ACTIONS. NOW COME HERE YOU!"

Note to self: Never allow a flawed security bot to babysit your child for the night.
