The first of the four Angel Beldum to find is supposedly inside a train station judging by the map the Angel Crocalor gave them for this, with the trains travelling across rails with the power of electromagnetism. However, when Themis the Angel Zorua, Uranus the Angel Zoroark, Gaia the Dachsbun and Mackenzie the Mesprit get to this place, there is some tumult going on, as someone apparently fell asleep on one of the train tracks, causing a delay. Uranus questions that when getting that information: "Who would be stupid enough to fall asleep on a train track? Uh, no offense intended." Meanwhile Mackenzie remarks: "Oh yeah, he did say he'd go to this Layer for a bit... I have a feeling I know which idiot it is." So the group gets there to see and... it's Uxie, wearing green arm bracelets. Themis comments on seeing that: "It is ironic how the being of Intelligence is doing something so... not intelligent."
Mackenzie wakes him up and scolds him: "You idiot, what were you thinking falling asleep right here?? Well, knowing you, there wasn't even a single thought in your head for this. You're lucky I lo- I mean like you despite your stupidity. Uhh.... like a friend. Eh, it'd probably go right over your head even if I'd be honest with my feelings." "Why, are you hungry?", Uxie wonders, making Mackenzie remark: "What?" "Being honest with your feelings! Being hungry is a feeling.... right?" "Technically, it's a sensation.", the legendary Mesprit corrects him on that, all while Themis is catching on: "Ooohh, Uxie is the one she has feelings for who isn't returning those feelings!" "Congratulations.", Mackenzie responds to that, "You seem to understand that faster than he does... To be fair, that's not saying a lot. Anyway, Uxie, you can call me Mackenzie from now on." "Then my name's gonna be Z! Because I like to sleep.", Uxie decides for himself, though the bringer of emotion disapproves: "Nah, you need something with more potential to actually sound cute.... T-Totally not just for me."

Themis is then deciding: "Might as well get another Lake Guardian in here! Hey Uxie, wanna be friends with me?" "Okaydokay." "Then I hereby give you this gift of friendship.", the Angel Zorua then giving this male Lake Guardian one of the pendants Arceus gave her much like she had done with Mackenzie, the small angelic Dark Type Pokémon now also deciding: "I'm gonna name you Yannick." "Cute enough.", Mackenzie approves, "By the way, Yannick, where did you get those arm bracelets? You didn't wear them last time I saw you." "I don't know!", Uxie reveals, "I forgot, I suppose." "Sounds about right.", the legendary Mesprit says to that, "Well, welcome to our team."
It also turns out now that while Yannick does have the ability to wipe out the memories of whoever sees his eyes, he also prefers to keep his eyes closed all the time since much like Mackenzie's reasoning with her power, it would be very unethical to use, even if it's used against bad guys. So with the legendary Uxie now also part of the group, they search for an Angel Beldum in the train station and end up finding it. Three left to find now!
On their way to where the next Angel Beldum should be judging by the map, the group of now five witnesses a protest by some demons, though with angel policemen soon dealing with that... but expectedly dealing with the demons protesting more violently than neccessary. Themis feels bad for not intervening, but her mother Gaia tells her: "We should stay out of this. We can't just go against angel policemen, especially if we want to actually succeed getting until the final Layer of Heaven without also having to worry about angel policemen chasing after us." Still, Themis talks to herself in response to that: "I'll find a way to help those demons... as soon as I figured out why Lucy is nowhere.", not wanting to just let go of the problems she sees.
The second Angel Beldum to find is apparently inside a dance club, so the group gets in there, though the guy at the entrance stops them: "Only adults can enter.", clearly referring to Themis being an Angel Zorua, though the others of the group affirm Themis being an adult, with her adding to that: "As a matter of fact, I'm not only an adult already, but also not a virgin anymore, haha! Thanks to Lucy." And so they can get inside that club.
Once they're inside there, Uranus talks to his currently unloving wife Gaia: "May I ask for a dance, pretty woman?" "In your dreams.", the Dachsbun replies with denial, though the Angel Zoroark still tries to convince her: "Come on, you gotta actually LIVE for a few minutes, you know? You're always so cold, you gotta give things like these a try sometimes." "Ugh, fine... just to make you shut up.", the Fairy Type Pokémon ends up agreeing after all, with Themis getting the DJ to play Skillet's "Last day of summer" for this:
(Skillet's "Last day of summer": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZR-_pO18jg)
"Last day of summer
drifts out on the wind,
never returning,
still it's not the end.
It's just the last day of summer,
wake up from the dream,
life goes on until it's gone,
night is never empty as it seems."
Gaia holds onto Uranus, so that she can be on her hind legs for the sake of the dance, with Uranus holding onto her as well as they begin to dance to the music their daughter picked for them. Uranus smiles at her during it as she looks back at him simply because it would be more impractical to try avoiding eye contact during the dance. Though it makes her see his face lit up by the colorful lights of the club and see the warmth in his smile. She can easily see in his eyes how much this simple interaction means to him, how much he enjoys her presence despite her coldness towards him. And she can feel from how he holds her during the dance that he would only ever want to make her feel cared for, held gently and loved. It is admittedly pretty sweet. There is something deeply likable about how genuine he is with his behavior towards her, making Gaia start to wonder about the possibility of her loving someone who she can already assess being someone she could consider lovable. Could she actually do it? Might it even be starting to happen? After all... dancing with him right now does give her a feeling of comfort she can't ignore. But this shouldn't even be remotely important to her, should it? Nonetheless, she ends up thinking to herself that it's nothing worth paying attention to. They're not gonna stay together anyway. But still, Uranus and Themis can catch onto her emotional coldness starting to break from the way her look at the Angel Zoroark changes as the song progresses, until the dance ends at the end of the song, which also makes the Dachsbun get back on all fours again.
After that dance, the group actually looks for the Angel Beldum hidden in here and soon finds it, so that now they have half of what they need in total. Nothing more to do in here, so the group leaves the club.
On the way to the third Angel Beldum, Yannick says: "We should really make Azelf join us too if we happen to come across him on the way to.... wait, where are going again?" "The final and highest Layer of Heaven.", Gaia can answer that, "To get the half demonic Shiny Eevee named Lucy back and uncover why she is nowhere after her death to begin with." Though Themis points out: "Getting Lucy back is... at least something I hope we can achieve... somehow. I mean, other than making this whole journey, I... really have nothing else to try. A demon for some fucking reason isn't allowed into Heaven, even if it's one with a truly good heart. And she is neither in Hell nor in the soul plane either, as the Deity told me, she is just... nowhere. Sure, I don't deserve someone like her, but... she sure as hell doesn't deserve being dead..." Mackenzie is catching onto at least some of Themis's insecurities from the statement of not deserving Lucy, so that the Mesprit whispers to her own love interest Yannick the Uxie to try and aid some. So the male Lake Guardian then tries to teach the Angel Zorua something: "Hey Themis, you know what you should do? Compliment yourself sometimes. Tell yourself that you've done a good job with something. Even if you consider it lying to yourself at first, if you keep it up, you'll eventually believe it, even if it might take a while. It's gonna feel good to feel better about yourself, trust me!" "I'll consider it.", the angelic Dark Type Pokémon responds, "It seems almost too simple to work but I guess it's worth a try." Though Uranus brings up: "Sometimes a solution is simple." Mackenzie can't help but smile a bit at seeing the support given to Themis, even though the Mesprit isn't even aware of just how bad Themis's mental state really is and merely caught a glimpse of it from the expression of insecurities.
The third Angel Beldum to find is inside an abandoned library building, completely overgrown since having access to information (including literature) digitally just made it eventually of too little use, so it was just left for nature to take it over. Kind of beautiful to look at. Anyway, after getting the one in here, there is only one Angel Beldum left to find, we're making progress!
