PING! The elevator arrives back in the basement. The doors open to reveal the Oompa Loompa wearing a pair of aviator goggles and a backpack. "You made a big mistake, gentlemen." He pulls a cord. MECHANICAL WINGS UNFOLD from his backpack! He leaps off the bench seat and soars through the crypt. He lands by the control panel and examines it. "You steal from an Oompa Loompa, we take back a thousand-fold!" He pulls the lever marked EMERGENCY DRAIN. Chocolate starts to DRAIN FROM THE TANK. It seems to take far too long, but Willy, Y/n, and Noodle finally break the surface and take an ENORMOUS BREATH OF AIR! As the chocolate drains, they start being spun around the ortex of the liquid -- and scream for joy! "What's going on, Willy? What'shappening?" Willy smiles "It's draining Noodle, we've been saved!" 

"Who by?" noodle asked "Who by? The Little Orange Man, of course! The Little Orange Man!" Y/n answered. Noodle looks up and sees the Oompa Loompa in the skylight, doffing his hat. Astonished, Noodle shrieks with glee. "Thank you, Little Orange Man!" She yells. 

The Cartel emerges from the Cathedral as the Chief finally arrives in a car. "Gentlemen! Thank goodness you're alright! I came as fast as I could." He tries to get out of the car -- but is now so enormously wide he doesn't quite fit through the door. "Car shrunk." He said "Don't you worry, Chief. It's allunder control. A couple of thieves broke in, but I'm afraid they met with a little accident."  

"In which they died." Slugworth nods "For once, Prodnose, well said!" Then they get interrupted by a voice "I wouldn't be so sure about that." The Chocolatiers and the Chief turn to see Willy, Y/n, and Noodlestanding on the steps, dripping with chocolate. "Wonka!" he looked upset "Officer, would you kindly take a look at this?"  Y/n said as Noodle handed the GREEN LEDGER to Officer Affable. "It details every single illegal payment these men have ever made. Thousands of them." Behind them, the Priest sidles out of sight. "Don't listen to her, Affable. She'slying!"  Slugworth agrees "Well of course she is!" Officer Affable's eyes widen as he leafs through the pages. "She's not, sir. She's absolutely right, it's... incredible." The Chief tries to take control of the situation. "Oh. Well. Then it sounds like a case for the Chief of Police. Give it to me, Affable. I'll take it from here."  But Officer Affable keeps a tight hold of the book. "I can't do that, I'm afraid, sir." 

"And why's that?" He looks at him "Your name's in here too. A lot." Officers move to arrest him. Slugworth, Fickelgruber, andProdnose sense the game is up. "Gentlemen? Run!" But as they run, something incredible happens. They begin to FLOAT UP OFF THE GROUND -- just as they did in the Galeria. They desperately grab at the fountain and cling on to the frozen water spout. "You didn't eat any of those chocolates did you, Mr. Slugworth?" he looks curious "Why?"  Willy smiles as he grabs a hold of Y/n's hand "Because they're Hoverchocs. Delayed action. But extra strong."  Slugworth grabs hold of a jet of frozen water sticking out of the fountain. Fickelgruber clings to Slugworth's foot andProdnose grabs Fickelgruber's. Slugworth growls at Willy. 

"You think you're so clever, don't you, Wonka? Well, there's a billion sovereigns of chocolate beneath our feet. We'll get the best lawyers, bribe the judge, rig the jury if we have to. We'll be fine." he sighs sadly but then smiles "I wish I'd thought of that. Noodle?" Noodle clangs a wrench against a fire hydrant, down through the storm drains to where Lottie and the workers are waiting for her signal. "Now!" The workers start to turn a huge valve. 

Just then, the GROUND STARTS TO TREMBLE. The Chief rolls off at starts to jiggle, and then his belt bursts. The FOUNTAIN in the middle of the square BEGINS TO SHAKE. The ICICLES of frozen water which have hung from the ends of its water spouts for years start to CRACK and FALL. And a RICH, BROWN LIQUID shoots from the water spouts, sending the Cartel spinning away into the air.  "What is that?" Prodnose asks "It's our chocolate!" Slugworth yells "All our chocolate!" Prodnose gets upset and whines "We're ruined!" Willy smiles "Don't worry, gentlemen! You'll come down eventually, I think. Probably.But until then..." 

He lets go of Y/n's hand and takes various ingredients from his pockets and sleeves and throws them into the fountain. The chocolate bubbles and turns a gorgeous color. Y/n and Noodlewatch, enchanted, from one side of the Cathedral. The WashHouse gang emerges from an entrance on the other side.  "Ladies and gentlemen, Willy Wonka, friends, and perhaps future lover..." He looks at Y/n "...invite you all to enjoy our chocolate!!" Y/n looked at Willy with a blush. As the crowd gathers around the fountain, the Mistress of the Keys emerges from the Cathedral, blinking in the sunlight. She spots the Zoo Security Guard in the crowd. "Basil?!"  "Basil?!" They run into each other's arms. Y/n looks at the two then at Willy. "You look hot covered in chocolate" She blushed not expecting to say that out loud "I mean" Willy smiled "Did you really mean when you said earlier about loving me?" Y/n nodded "Yeah Willy I love you, you turned night into day Willy" Willy smiled and pulled her into a hug "I love you too Y/n from the moment I saw you, You perked my interest"  The two looked at each other with love. The two were about to kiss when Noodle came up to them and hugged them. "We did it!" Y/n and Willy nod "Yes we did it Noodle. Now let's all get cleaned up shall we."    

......................................

Willy sits on the steps of the Cathedral watching the wholeworld enjoying the rich chocolate flowing from the fountain. He feels a warmth he hasn't known since his mother was alive. He reaches into his pocket and takes out the old chocolate bar, somewhat the worse for wear. Perhaps, finally, it's time. He slowly opens the wrapper. And is amazed to see, slipped in alongside the chocolate, a piece of GOLDEN PAPER. On it is a message from his mother: 'The secret is...It's not the chocolate that matters. It's the people you share it with! Mamma xxx' 

Willy stares, completely still, his eyes full of tears. Then he looks up and spots a familiar figure in the crowd. It's his mother, looking just as she did all those years ago. She promised she would be with him when he shared chocolate with the world. And she kept her word. She smiles at him. He smiles back, overjoyed to see her one last time -- and finally ready to let her go. The crowds pass between them, and she disappears forever. Y/n who was lying on Willy's shoulder sighs in satisfaction "You okay Willy?" she holds his hand in her. He nods and smiles looking at her "Never better my sweet cocoa" 

He looks up to see Noodle and the rest of his new friends. He breaks off a piece of chocolate and hands it to Y/n and then to Noodle. She eats it, and a look of pure joy spreads over her face. The rest of the workers arrive and he shares the rest of the chocolate bar with them. A moment of pure happiness. "How does it feel, Willy? Is it as good as you remember?" he smiles "Every little bit. I wish it could last forever..." He looks up at the Cathedral clock. "Oh, I guess it's time," Y/n says. Noodle notices the group are all looking at her excitedly. "Time for what? What's going on?" she was confused "You know how many people called D. Smith live in the city, Noodle?" Willy said "A hundred and six." Abacus says "But luckily, you have a friend who works in the telephone exchange, and she spent the whole afternoon ringing around, and guess what?" Y/n smiles at Lottie and then looks back at Noodle. "We found her," Lottie said. Noodle is now left stunned.
