A green valley laid out before them. There were trees lining the clearing, and a small river trickling through by the far end. Directly from the doorway lead a stone path that wound down the hill they stood on and into the village. How many houses there were, could not be said right off. There seemed to be too many to count. Yet, it did not seem to be crowded, each little house given its own area to occupy.

Fresh, cool air that smelled faintly of dirt and rain blew into the hallway and everyone simultaneously took a deep breath of it.

"Are we...outside?" Gerald asked quietly, as if he knew better, but couldn't help himself.

Miles didn't blame him, the whole place didn't seem to have an end. He knew that they were hundreds of feet underground but still, he could see no walls, and the sky...it looked real!

"It's beautiful isn't it?" Wonka said with calm satisfaction. "But no, it isn't really outdoors. It's all manufactured."

"What is this place?"Miles asked as Wonka stepped from the hallway and onto the stone path.

"This is the Oompa Loompas's home." He said as he began making his way down, his limp once again obvious as he walked.

Miles's eyes bulged. "Then why, in God's name, do we wanna go in here?!"

"Yeah, aren't we supposed to be looking for a way outta this hell hole?" The one armed man from before said.

Wonka paused and looked back at them. "Trust me, at this point, this is probably our only way out. Either we make our way down here and use the Wonkavator I'm hoping is still in existence or we turn back and face Oompa hordes like you've never seen. It's your choice."

The group looked at one another. Without Wonka to guide them, their chances of finding another way out were slim. Also, they were all curious about this new room.

"This is where they live, then?" Maybelynne asked, her one good eye taking in the sky as everyone slowly filtered out of the hallway after Wonka.

"Yup."

"And you've been trying to find this place for how long?" Gerald asked.

" Ever since they revolted."

"What?" Gerald shot him a look. "A year? How the hell could you lose track of where the Oompa Loompas live?"

"So I never came down here much, big deal." Wonka said, cutting his eyes to Gerald.

"Why did you want to come down here though?" Miles asked.

When Wonka looked at him, his eyes were cold. "So I could kill them all."
