Chapter 63 : Millennium

After dropping off Walter with Nezu, Izuku decided to check in with the Doctor to inquire if he knew of Alucard or the assault on London by Millennium hoping to get more detailed information on them. Walking into the lab, the doctor was surrounded by other researchers looking over some clipboards and discussing something. Dr. Garaki turned and greeted his master.

"Afternoon master, what has brought you here?"

"The knowledge that you might possess of the Millennium Organisation and Alucard."

The Doctor was a bit shocked to hear those words. He dismissed the other researchers by waving his hand.

"Excuse us. Master follow me."

Garaki led Izuku to his personal office and began to dig out some documents. Placing them on the table he allowed Izuku to look through them.

Millennium was drafted by the Nazis during World War II as a long-term project to research the supernatural and replicate its effects in their soldiers but their experiments were halted by a younger Walter and Alucard who was disguised as a little girl. During the assault, the top brass managed to escape the culling into South America with a small battalion and items stolen from Holocaust victims to help conceal themselves helped along by the Vatican.

The organisation reappeared in 1999 when they attacked both America and London with an army of artificial vampires. The Vatican gathered to fight them off but they were at a stalemate until Alucard appeared and consumed the ranks of both sides in the city raising those he had drank from as a tidal wave of ghouls to destroy the troops of both the Vatican and Millennium. By the end of it, all members of Millennium were killed yet their documents were saved and archived as a record of their delusion and existence. Garaki spoke as Izuku finished reading.

"Even as a young man, I was always interested in the research they had to alter the human genome. I scoured the world to look for data pertaining to it. It was their research that allowed me to successfully create the Nomus. People changed and altered to handle the strain of power and its consequences."

Fact

"... Would access to more of Millennium's research expedite the process of reversing the nomufication?"

"Unfortunately, no. Millennium was only interested in altering people regardless of the effects. Their research was quite unethical wasting many lives but they found a key, Mina Harker, a sire of Alucard. Her corpse was dug up after centuries and it had yet to fully decay. The body still had the blood of a true vampire flowing through its veins allowing Millennium to replicate some of Alucard's vampiric abilities. Her body was lost during the assault of the Fourth Reich."

Fact

"Has there been any info on the whereabouts of Alucard and Seras Victoria? If they are true vampires then they should still be around."

"No. When I started my search the Hellsing Organisation was already disbanded after their leader Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing had passed of old age not leaving behind an heir but allowing someone else to lead the organisation for a few years before the British government cut their funding when the rise of quirks became prevalent. I would guess that they're somewhere near the UK, maybe Europe."

Fact

"Alright then. That was a bit less than I expected but that's fine, how is the denomufication coming along?"

"Things a going steady. We are currently on animal trials trying to reverse the effect placed on mice but there has yet been a successful result."

Fact

"And Nezu approved of it? I thought he would object."

"He did in the beginning but this was the only way for the other researchers to study the process to find a way to reverse it somewhat ethnically."

Fact

"Okay, hopefully you'll get results soon. I should go. It seems the researchers have much to discuss with you."

"Yes, master. I promise that you will not be disappointed."

Fact

A warp gate opens behind Izuku and swallows him whole. Appearing back in Nezu's office he finds it empty leaving Izuku confused.

'I wasn't gone that long was I?'

Looking around with Quirk Sight, he saw Walter's quirk factor in the gym Delta and some of the staff near him.

'I should probably figure out why vampirism looks like a quirk factor when there is no quirk.'

Warping into the gym, he sees Walter and Aizawa sparing with Nezu and Recovery Girl spectating in the observation room. The arena had a mess of shredded bandages with Aizawa breathing heavily and cuts all over his body. The ground near them looked like someone had taken a blade to it leaving gouges in the concrete floor. Aizawa ran at Walter with his dagger trying to slash at him but Walter weaved shields out of his wires to defect the attacks until he got a hold of the knife blade slicing it into pieces.

"Valiantly fought hero. You would be quite a nuisance facing anyone else."

Izuku lands next to Aizawa places his hand on his shoulder and uses Horus. A green aura covers his body as the cuts immediately heal and the bags under his eyes disappear. He's never felt more awake.

"Wanted to stretch your legs, Walter?"

"This vagabond wanted a show of my skills."

Aizawa stood straighter surprised by the newfound energy in his body.

"Thanks for the pep up Midoriya, Where the hell did you find him?"

"In a dungeon."

An incredulous expression appeared on Aizawa's face as Nezu could be seen walking out of the observation room with Recovery Girl.

"Alright Aizawa, let's see the damage."

Getting closer she sees that he is completely fine minus the missing bandages and damaged clothes looking over to Midoriya everything becomes clear. The boy had gotten a new tool in his belt.

"We need to get you into the nurse's office."

Izuku opens a warp gate and they all arrive there in an instant. Making Aizawa sit on the bed, Recovery Girl began her examination checking for any defects that may have occurred during Izuku's healing. Comparing his condition to before he was healed, he was completely healed. In fact, he was better than was ever recorded. It was like he was biologically younger with how healthy he was now.

"Do you have a youthful healing quirk now Midoriya?"

"I do now. I got it during the raid on the CRC."

"You should leave a clone here. Your classmates have been... intense as of late."

"Sure but he will only use quirks to heal if it is an emergency."

"Because you don't want them to completely rely on you for healing."

Nezu interjected.

"Yeah. My type of healing allows them to throw caution to the wind and fight until they drop. The only time it should be needed is if they are hurt badly by a villain or need to train to be stronger in a short time."

"It has been a swell time talking about the boy's abilities but what will be done with me? I don't assume you'll allow me in the public."

"How about a teaching position? No need for a veteran like you to still be on the field."

Walter's brow twitched at the mention of his age but he considered the offer.

"Take your time. In the meantime, you can observe the students at your discretion. It may help you come to a decision."

"If the whole teaching thing doesn't work out. You could also help me track down Alucard and Seras."

This perks his interest yet he doesn't immediately make a decision, seeming surprised by his own hesitance, he gets up and leaves unimpeded.
