The flowers were gone and so was Gino. This Christmas was not a happy one for Gambino. He obviously felt bad for losing his son since his journal was full of the journey he took to find him again. The reporter we had seen during the Zombie aftermath was there to tell us that Gambino was searching all over Gaia for his son and also, that he had lost so much from the disaster. This is how the report looked like:

Isle De Gambino - The Quest Begins
A GAIA Christmas Story
by VO, L0cke & Ling
I sit here on this crate in a crater that was once my home. It's been 55 days since that night. My greatest achievement and my biggest mistake.
This photograph is all that I have left. My mansion... in ruin. My riches... gone. My son, my dearest son ... missing. And to top it all off, it's Christmas day.
But what is this I see?! A glimmer of hope. Gino could still be alive! He must be. He's crafty like his old man.
I embark on a quest inspired with hope! Afterall, it IS Christmas day! It is a time for miracles. Bah, I make MY OWN miracles.
Port of Gambino - Oh what fun it is to ride...
I make my way south and what do I see? Sasha and Moira, off to some party. These young girls make me sick.
They think of nothing but fun, of self-enjoyment and carelessness. Do they not know what it means to have lost something special in their lives? Do they even care that, while they are having a blast, others are suffering and are in need? *sigh* I wish I could go too, but I am determined to find my son!
Bass'ken Lake - An empty whole.
Ah, tis old man Logan fishing away. Bass'ken lake is iced over yet he is still determined to catch something. Here is a man so dedicated in his craft that he shuns everything else. An admirable way of life, though a lonely one. Is this what lies in store for me? Am I also fated to be alone?
Ah, at least I can take solace in knowing that I'm not the only one alone on Christmas day. Perhaps I can join Logan here and help him catch a fish or two. ^^
Nevermind.
Barton West - Can't buy me love.
It's so cold outside, even the green of Barton West is frosted over with white. Though despite the cold, there are people who brave it in order to spend their money. I was once the richest man in GAIA. I could've bought anything I wanted. And now look at me. What does money and physical things mean when there is no one to share those things with? I wonder if anyone got me a gift this year? I suppose not.
Durem - A friend in need is a friend indeed.
In times of need, you can always count on friends. Edmund, is one of those men. Honorable and kind, yet strict and controlled.
He is one of the only men in this world who I would call "friend." He's on THE LEVEL.
But sometimes friends have obligations. -_-;; *ring ring* "What's up, V? Oh, ok I'll be right over."
And it's times like these that remind you that friends are only temporary. Family is forever. "You understand right, man?"
"Yeah, I understand."
Barton Town - The breaking point.
It's been such a long day. I've searched all of the land and yet Gino is nowhere to be found.
A voice of a child! GINO!? Could that be you?
No, not him but another child. I believe this little one is named Peyo. He is Ruby's child. Ruby... they look so happy. So warm and content. They may not have much, but they have it all.
I CANNOT TAKE THIS ANY LONGER!
Durem Reclamation Facility - Miracles CAN happen.
This facility represents my soul. A barren wasteland scorched by ice. A craggy, dangerous place where all the waste in GAIA sleeps. No one wants what is kept here.
I am numb. I won't feel a thing. Though at this moment, when nothing is left for me, I can actually feel something. Something holding me back. It's too late for me though. I have nothing. I am GAIA's most powerless man.
The only thing that could save me now is gone. Gino, my son. I never got the chance to tell you...
"Don't do it!!" The voice called out. At the moment of my near demise, a miracle happened.Gino's voice! I am saved!
It really WAS him. Gino, my son. I embraced my son like I never had the time to do before. Though, there was something in his eyes... the same soul, but something different. I then knew what it was when he uttered one question...
"Who are you?"
