Story[]
The story begins with Bluster creating a gigantic bad seed using an assortment of smaller bad seeds. However, his device goes completely wrong and sends the gigantic bad seed into the Silver Lining, which starts tarnishing the area with bad energy roots and flowers.
Meanwhile, the Care Bears get a message from Tenderheart about the Bad Seed creating bad energy. Bedtime deems it to be even worse than before. Tenderheart decides that the Bears should use the heart cannon to destroy all the Bad Flowers around the five areas of the Silver Lining.
