Gardenia's Color Guard: Plant Noel DePlante knew Kaleni was scouring the soil, Nogard was embroiled in spelunking, Lumi was scanning from the sky, and Whitbee was searching for sunken secrets. So Noel decided to go back to where it all started, Gardenia's fractured island. He spotted a vibrant mass sticking out from the broken ground.
