A small vault door opened, revealing a room with a large chocolate filled tub. A huge fan was circling around, stirring the liquid chocolate up. Ficklegruber pulled a lever, stopping the fan, creating a small plank for them to walk across to get to the center of the fan.

"On you go." Slugworth ordered.

Willy, (Y/n), and Noodle hesitantly walked across the fan blade and went onto the center circle that the blades spun around.

The three of them were about to leave, but Willy called out to them.

"Uh, gentlemen."

They paused.

"Considering the situation, I wondered if you might do a good deed on my behalf." He requested.

Ficklegruber scoffed. "A what?!"

"A good deed. It's a sort of pointless act of selflessness..."

"Yes, of course, Mr. Wonka." Slugworth interrupted. "What would you like us to do?"

"I was wondering if you could give this to someone. Only is you happen to see him." Willy said, pulling out a cloth, and holding it up with both hands.

"And who is it?"

"A little orange man."

Slugworth furrowed his brows. "Eh?"

"A little orange man, about eight inches high, with orange skin and bright green hair." Willy described, placing the cloth over his arm. "I owe him a jar of chocolates, you see, and well..." he removed the cloth, revealing jar of chocolates in his hand. "I think these might be the best I've ever made."

Slugworth smiled. "Well in that case, I'll make sure he gets them personally."

Willy tossed him the jar, which he caught in his hand.

"Farewell, Mr. Wonka. Laundry girl. Urchin."

The three chocolatiers left, and closed the door behind them. Willy, (Y/n) and Noodle huddled closer together as three grates on the wall opened up.

Watered down chocolate shot out of the grates and into the pool of chocolate below, slowly starting to fill up the room.

(Y/n) squeezed Willy's hand in fear. "What are we gonna do?"

...

Slugworth, Ficklegruber and Prodnose stepped into the elevator, and Slugworth eyed the jar of chocolates in his hand.

"Best chocolate he ever made, eh?" He wondered.

He ripped the lid off the jar, and the three of them dug in.

...

"I got it!" Willy exclaimed. He reaches into his pockets and pulled out small vials and started pouring them into the chocolate. "If we're gonna drown in chocolate, and let's face it, we're gonna drown in chocolate, then it's going to be Wonka choclate."
