He was planning to just leave this place and look for someone that could help her. After all is she could become animated and move around when given enough lacrima. Then maybe there could be a way to restore her mind and free will somehow, He was not going to give on her until he had at least tried this out...exhausting every choice and chance he got.
Carrying Erza on his back, he was able to tell just how cold her body was now that she was zombie. He always knew that it no longer held the warmth that it once did. However despite that she was still alive in some sense. Only rather then needing to eat,drink, and sleep like what most normally is need to live. Erza needed to consume lacrima to remained animated.
When she ran out rather then dying again instead she just become immobile as she is right now. The magic that brought her back from the dead is not over merely because she does not have any lacrima in her system. That was something Jellal learned directly from Kyoama himself. The magic the re-animated her body after death so good that once her lacrima supply was exhaust. It does not vanish but merely goes dormant until more is supply to Erza.
"First thing I am do for you Erza is getting you fully conscious and self aware again. It should be possible as you are able to move on your own along with use your magic as well. You must still be in there just have to discover how to awaken you. Then after that looking for a way to fully restore your life comes next" Jellal told her.
Even though she could not respond it was his way of just continue to treat her like he always had. Rather then the tool or the traitor that many of the other former slave had done and even how the Dark Mages that had enslaved them all did.
Making to the boats he noticed that he was not alone anymore as Simon and Sho stood there almost as if they had been waiting for him.
"Trying to leave without letting any of us know?" Simon asked.
"Look this is something I have to do for Erza" he told them.
"No this is something I have to do as it my fault that this happened to Erza. I came up with that plan but when it failed, not only did you try to cover for me but Erza ended up getting the blame for it. That what resulted in her death and her body then getting used in the experiment that made her into a zombie" Sho said.
Jellal then explain that Sho could have ended up in far worse state then Erza was in currently. The magic behind what animated her body now was only able to do so because of how durable and strong it was. Should it have been any weaker then they would not have anything of Erza bury and might be cleaning what was left of her off a wall.
"How are you even aware of this?" Simon asked curiously.
It was then that he revealed that he had been in alliance with one of the Dark Mages, Kyoama. They had apparently both planed to turn on each other once the their common enemy was gone. Luckily Kyoama was forced to run away thus leaving Erza to him
"Regardless of how it happened you got Erza away from those guy and managed to get all of freed from being their slaves. Now we are going to find a way to help her. You are not doing this alone as I am not letting you" Sho told him.
"What about you Simon as unlike Sho or myself? Why are you trying to come along? Should not you go looking for your sister. She probably still out there as Rob revealed to me that main reason he think Erza got caught was because she was helping someone else. That something she had told him once and then when you told us about your sister, well that match with the description of the girl Erza helped" Jellal told him.
"Then that just another reason that I am coming along as she saved my sister from having to live through being a slave" Simon told him however he did not tell either one of them the first reason though.
"Though just what are we doing to do about looking for clues to go about helping her? It not like the magic used on her is your average everyday variety. So it probably going to be hard to find anything that useful at least that is not too risking" Sho asked.
As Erza was getting secured in the boat, this when Jellal revealed that his plan was to head for Fairy Tail. Rob knows a lot about magic so then it likely that there could be others within his guild or connected to it. That know just as much and possibly even more then he does. With what Rob had given him to carry with him. According to the old man if Jellal has this will him, then they should be willingly to help them even if they are basically just four kids that would have wondered in there from the streets.
With that settled the trio set off on their boat in the direction that if they kept going would eventually led them towards Fairy Tail. That was something else Jellal had managed to get a hold of while working with Kyoama. That being the exact location of where they were so that he was able to use a map he had also acquired. Allow them to plot their course to the mainland from the island they were currently leaving from.
