To reach one of the Heart Scales, someone has to climb up at one of the many high storage racks, though to reach the Heart Scale it would require someone rather small. Cain the Demon Tandemaus mouse notes: "Themis might have to do this... despite the risk of falling.", so that the Angel Zorua points out: "The Lake Guardians and you two brothers are quite small too! Even smaller than me!", though Mackenzie the Mesprit replies to that: "You see the security cameras there, right? They specifically watch the racks for nothing to get stolen, so while we can safely get through the actual walking paths here, we probably shouldn't risk Heaven police forces to label us as enemies while Puruel definitely already knows of you and your parents to be on this journey... I mean, if we can sneak additional team members to the final Layer, that would be a decent advantage, don't you think? So to get this Heart Scale... we not only need someone small, but someone already known to be an enemy to Puruel and... that's just you, sorry." "Ugh, fiiiiiiine!", the Angel Zorua gives in, "Just because we're friends. You didn't strictly NEED the Heart Scale after all." With that settled, Themis gets the Heart Scale just like they decided, before the group continues their way together. However, through the camera footage, angels working as security in this Layer now know of Themis being in this Layer as well as where exactly she is in here.
The second Heart Scale seems to very simply be in some box here, an easily reachable one too, according to Cain and Abel, which does turn out to be the case. Getting there, Themis comments: "This... is a box.", to which Yannick the Uxie responds overdramatically: "Dear God.", with Themis opening it to realize: "There's more." "No.", Yannick reacts like this to that too, after which the Angel Zorua lets them know: "It contains a box.", for Yannick to say "Dear God." once again. Uranus is confused since he doesn't know what they're referencing. Now, inside the box that's inside the box, there actually is the Heart Scale they were looking for, no need to overindulge in this reference.
Some of the security personnel have the group in their field of view now and get right to charging at them, but thanks to some solid family teamwork between Uranus, Themis and Gaia, those relatively weak bad angels are dealt with quickly enough. "Hah!", Uranus remarks, "You don't mess with this family!" Especially after hearing her husband describe it like this, Gaia - while still not admitting it - really struggles with hiding how much she finds herself desiring to be part of this family, being with Uranus and their daughter.
Themis acknowledges: "All these enemies in our way... As if my own mind wasn't enough of an enemy to me already, now I got people actively seeking out to harm me... additionally to having to resist my own mind trying to convince me to just... do their job for them, heh... ending my life by myself... All those enemies, with my own brain being one of them." The Angel Zoroark however makes sure to let his daughter know: "We'll keep you safe, Themis, okay? You're safe with us, I'll make sure of that, no matter what." With Themis acknowledging them really trying, even if her head is actively trying to make her remain or get back to being blind to that, Themis thinks of the Skillet song "Safe with you":
(Skillet's "Safe with you": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjbO5mNQctI)
"Learning inside
I will be safe with you tonight,
you cause the smile
and the teardrops in my eye,
locked inside your every movement,
will I stand or will I fall?
Trapped inside of your walls of glory,
I am just as dead, leaves fall, yeah.
Safe with You.
Safe with You."
To obtain the third Heart Scale, the group needs to solve a puzzle consisting of pushing boxes in the right order and directions, unable to push two boxes at once, very much like one of the Strength HM related puzzles in the games. Now we just need the TM!
However, on the way to get the TM, they suddenly get ambushed by a group of angels who aren't even security personell, with the enemies managing to quickly knock out everyone in Themis's group thanks to using the element of surprise to their advantage.
Themis, Uranus, Gaia, Mackenzie, Yannick, Alastair, Cain and Abel all wake up being tied to chairs inside some room, their mouths covered too, with the group of angels who captured them noticing them waking up now. They decide to take off the mouth covering bandage just for Themis, assuming her to spill the beans the easiest due to how innocent she looks. "Who are you working for?", one of the capturers wants to know from her, though the Angel Zorua replies: "Joe." "Joe?" "Joe Mama!", Themis tells them, intending to just mess with them. "Very funny.", a capturer states in a way that shows them not being amused, "I want to know who sent you, for real, and if I have to use violence to get that from you." "Violins?", Themis says to that, "Well, personally I prefer the cello, but thanks for the offer." "You better take us seriously!" "Yes, I will take you. Seriously.", the Angel Zorua changes the punctuation, with the capturers starting to have an annoyed look on their faces.
"You think you're so clever, huh?", one of the capturers then says, "But you're the one tied up right now." "Because I'm into it.", she continues messing with them, "Make the ropes tighter, please, I'm starting to get in heat." "Agh, shut up!" "I thought you wanted me to talk.", Themis points out, "So I will talk. Alright, I'll tell you a secret..." "Finally...", the capturers somehow think they already got through to her, but then Themis starts quoting the infamous copypasta: "So... did you know... that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding-" "NOT THAT!" "Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans.", she just continues, "Not only are they in the Field Egg Group, which is mostly comprised of mammals-" "STOP!" But she does not stop: "Vaporeon are an average of one meter tall and 29 kilograms. This means they're large enough to-" "WE'RE THE ONES ABOUT TO TORTURE YOU, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!", a capturer complains as Themis still shows how well she had memorized the copypasta: "Large enough to be able to handle human dicks, and with their impressive base stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can-" "ENOUGH!", the capturers can't take that anymore, with one of them telling the Angel Zorua: "Now you've really pissed us off. And you'll regret it. You'll give us what we want to know." "Vaporeon being breedable?" "NO! NOT THAT!", a capturer replies, with the enemies now getting some gasoline and pouring it over the small Dark Type Pokémon. "You will talk. Or else...", a capturer threatens her, getting a match ready to burn her alive if she doesn't cooperate now. But instead, because of being covered in gasoline now, Themis just sings "Gasoline" by Skillet:
(Skillet's "Gasoline": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoQSz3c6PYA)
"You want to, you want to
soak my heart in gasoline,
light a match and consume me,
soak my pride in gasoline,
all of you and none of me."
Thankfully, right before the match is actually used, someone else comes into the room to quickly tell the capturers: "Wait, that's Themis! They're not our enemies!", which makes both the capturers and the captured realize that this was a misunderstanding and that they're actually on the same side. The capturers apologize now, of course: "We're so sorry, we thought you guys were among the bad angels and had no idea that you, Themis, are an Angel Zorua specifically, we didn't catch that much informaiton yet, but... hearing of someone making a journey through Heaven's Layers because of a demonic girlfriend not being anywhere after death... very few of us actually good angels got motivated to try doing something about the corruption, thanks to your decisions and goals inspiring us, though we're only just getting started."
Themis then points out while everyone is being untied: "We literally have only three angels among us right now and one of the non-angels of us is a demon!" "Could have been an angel's slave.", the revolutionist notes, "With Heaven being this corrupted, it also wasn't that implausible to assume Gods like the Lake Trio to be among the bad guys. And the mortal Dachsbun is suspicious enough to be up here in Heaven where mortals can't typically get to without special means." "Oh, I'm not a mortal.", Gaia corrects them on that, "I'm a planet." "... Alright, sure.", the capturer tries not to question that too much. With the misunderstanding cleared up, the revolutionist angels are now willing to let the team of Themis free again, with Cain and Abel wanting to join the angels who captured them in order to join their revolution-related intentions, though that group is not coming along for Themis's journey so this means goodbye to those two brothers who were tagging along with Themis for a little bit up until now.
But first, the good angels let Themis use the shower in their house, though as Themis properly cleans all the gasoline off her fur, due to touching her own body everywhere (simply to clean herself), she ends up crying again as it reminds her of Lucy touching her. The good angels end up giving them the TM for Psychic before they part ways, as they were told by the Tandemaus about Themis and her group looking for that. So directly following that, the Lake Guardians can each learn the move Psychic, since they apparently need that for this Layer's boss fight.
