That night, Wink had fallen asleep at his computer. Not too far away, a Robot was sleeping peacefully until a group of monsters broke into his house and stole pieces of the Robot to use for themselves. Wink heard the Robot’s calls for help and immediately jumped up to help. He followed the calls to an abandoned house, where he was ambushed by a crazy box monster. After defeating the monster, Wink realized it was just a little broken robot, who was scared of being attacked again. The Robot apologized and Wink vowed to help him get his pieces back from the monsters who stole them. Now the adventure begins!
