==Plot==
set after the events of Sonic's Adventures of Kingdom Hearts, Contrary to popular belief, Tars Tarkas (voiced by Willem Dafoe) explains, Mars contains life, air, and water. Its inhabitants call it Barsoom. The country of Zodanga, led by the ruthless Sab Than (Toby Kebbell), has overthrown almost every other country on the planet. Only Helium, another country, prevents in Sab Than from total domination of Barsoom. One day, Sab Than’s flying ship is caught in a sandstorm. When all seems lost to him, three figures in gray robes appear. Their leader, Matai Shang (Michael Shannon), offers Sab Than a glowing webbed blue weapon that slips over his hand and is absorbed into his body. The goddess chosen Sab Than to bear this weapon, Matai Shang explains, and with it Sab Than will be unstoppable. New York, 1881. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Brooke, Buck and John Carter strides down a rainy street. A man in a bowler hat follows them and watches as Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Buck, Brooke and Carter sends a telegram to Carter's nephew Ned. Later, Ned reads Carter’s telegram on a train. It bids him to come visit his uncle immediately. Unfortunately, when Ned arrives at the train station, his uncle’s butler informs him his uncle and the Herd died that morning. Ned goes to Carter’s lavish manor, packed with artifacts from the latter’s numerous archaeological digs. Carter’s lawyer comments that Carter always seemed to be looking for something. Ned pays his respects to his uncle’s mausoleum, which can only be opened from the inside. The Herd and John Carter did not want an open casket funeral and is already inside the mausoleum, which bears the phrase ‘Inter Mundos.’ Carter’s lawyer informs Ned that he has inherited the entirety of his uncle’s estate as well as his uncle’s journal. Ned sits down to read his uncle's journal, which begins with a missive for Ned to indulge him one last fanciful story. The Herd and Carter’s tale begins in Arizona thirteen years before, in 1868. Carter, a prospector, Manny, Sid, Diego, Buck, Brooke, Julian, Crash, Eddie, Peaches, Ellie and Shira tries to buy supplies at a local tavern. The owner refuses to sell to The Herd and Carter, citing The Herd and Carter’s sizeable tab. Apparently Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter has been searching for the Evil Spider’s Cave, which legend holds is full of gold, which the tavern owner and his other patrons find laughable. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Brooke, Julian, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter produces a piece of gold with a nine-legged spider on it; the gold piece will cover Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter’s table and then some, so the tavern owner better help them. When the tavern owner still refuses, he and his patrons get into a fight with Carter, Manny, Sid, Diego, Buck, Julian, Crash and Eddie. The Herd and Carter wins the fight, but some cavalrymen, led by General Powell (Sean Bridgers), show up and drag The Herd and Carter to their fort. His numerous escape attempts land him in a jail cell. Powell, impressed by Captain Carter’s impressive Civil War record, demands that The Herd and Carter help him fight the Apaches. The Herd and Carter refuses. While in the cell, Carter flashes back to a memory of his wife; he wears two wedding rings. Eventually they manages to break out of the cell and makes off with Powell’s own horse. Powell and other cavalrymen chase The Herd and Carter straight into a band of Apache warriors. The Herd and Carter tries to negotiate with them, but a nervous cavalryman shoots and kills an Apache. The two opposing sides clash, and before Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter can make a clean getaway, a warrior shoots Powell. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter helps Powell escape, and eventually they are chased to the mouth of a cave. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Brooke, Julian, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter sees the same nine-legged spider symbol at the mouth of the cave and knows he has found his gold. He enters the cave and is shocked when a grey robed man materializes out of a swirling blue light. Carter shoots the grey robed man, who clutches an ornate silver medallion as he dies. Sid mistakenly takes the medallion and listens to the dying man mumble a gibberish phrase. “Barsoom, What the...?” Carter asks. The medallion glows with a bright blue light, and The Herd and Carter disappears (including Scrat). Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Julian, Brooke, Buck, Ellie and Carter awakens in a desolate desert not dissimilar to the one in Arizona. Except that in this desert, they cannot walk properly: instead, each step they takes sends them flying into the air. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Ellie, Julian, Buck, Brooke and Carter drops the medallion but finally figures out how to jump gracefully instead of walking. Crash and Eddie have different skins of Barsoom as Tharks while still in their Possums forms. They reaches a rock formation and hears a rattling sound coming from within. They discovers a clear pane of glass that overlooks a giant nest. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Julian, Brooke, Buck, Ellie and Carter recoils when four-armed green aliens begin to hatch. A group of those aliens discovers Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Julian, Brooke, Buck, Peaches, Ellie and Carter’s medallion. A fight ensues when the aliens, called Tharks, discovers Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Julian, Brooke, Buck, Ellie and Carter at their nest. Their leader – all leaders on Barsoom are called Jeddaks – Tars Tarkas (voiced by Willem Dafoe) is amazed when he sees Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Brooke, Buck, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter leap into the air. He introduces himself to Manny, Sid, Diego, Julian, Brooke, Buck, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter, but the twelve cannot understand each other because they speak different languages. The language barrier leads Tars Tarkas to believe Manny, Sid, Diego, Julian, Brooke, Buck, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter’s names are Virginia, when that’s only from where Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Julian, Brooke, Buck, Peaches, Ellie and Carter hails. Tars Tarkas conveys to Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Julian, Brooke, Buck, Ellie and Carter that them wants them to jump again, and eventually Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Julian, Brooke, Buck, Peaches, Ellie and Carter complies – they jumps over Tars Tarkas and lands next to the Jeddak’s weapons. The warriors with Tars Tarkas shoot Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Brooke, Buck, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter. Tars Tarkas straps Manny, Sid, Diego, Julian, Brooke, Buck, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter to one of their alien horse creatures, along with the Thark hatchlings. He orders his warriors to kill the weak ones. Dejah Thoris (Sasha Lane), princess of Helium, practices a very important speech. She needs to convince her father, Jeddak Tardos Mors (David Gyasi), that she has harnessed the power of the ninth ray. The ninth ray – it is the same force that powers Sab Than’s new weapon – has the power to replenish Barsoom’s oceans as well as defeat Sab Than’s approaching army. Her father and his generals, including the valiant Kantos Kan (Michael Smiley), arrive, and Dejah turns on a machine that projects the ninth ray. One of the general’s touches the machine – he wears the same medallion as the grey robed man – and it malfunctions. Tardos Mors explains to his daughter that Sab Than will spare Helium is Dejah marries him. The prospect horrifies Dejah, but her love for her people convinces her to agree. In the hallway, the general who caused the machine to malfunction transforms into a grey robed man. He communicates via a high-tech earpiece with Matai Shang, telling him that he broke the machine. Now Dejah will not be able to harness the ninth ray’s powers. meanwhile Scrat tries to bury his acorn but transported away in Barsoom (Mars). The Thark warriors, The Herd and Carter reach the Tharks’ city. More Tharks emerge from the rocks, and the women begin to fight over the hatchlings. Sola (voiced by Gugu-Mbatha Raw) struggles to grab a hatchling, but Thark women like Sarkoja (voiced by Elena Anaya) continually beat her. Tars Tarkas commands Sarkoja to allow Sola to have a hatchling, and Sola is made responsible for Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Ellie and Carter’s upkeep. The Herd and Carter obstinately refuses to jump for the Tharks, so Tars Tarkas sends Carter and Peaches to be initiated with the other hatchlings. The Thark women bathe and shave Carter and Peaches before chaining both of them to a wall. Sola force-feeds The Herd and Carter a potion, “the voice of Barsoom,” which allows them to understand their language. When he awakens in the night, they breaks free from his chains and attempts to escape. Woola, a sweet and surprisingly adorable dog-lizard creature, finds and attaches himself to Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Julian, Brooke, Buck, Peaches, Ellie and Carter. Because Woola can move at warp speed, he is able to keep up with Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Ellie and Carter, even when the human makes giant leaps. Manny, Sid, Diego, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter goes to inspect a Thark party, and Woola follows. When Woola disrupts the party, some Thark warriors begin to beat him. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter emerges from their hiding place and Carter punches one of the warriors, killing him with once punch. Tars Tarkas, displeased by Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter’s outburst, punishes the human and Sola for allowing Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Peaches, Ellie and Carter to escape. They are chained to a pole, and Sola is branded; Tars Tarkas tells the pair that the next time Sola makes a mistake, she will be killed. The arrival of a flyer – one of the ships flown by the humans on Barsoom – distracts the Tharks from Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Ellie and Carter’s punishment. Sab Than attacks a ship manned by Helium soldiers. Dejah, who fled her city rather than marry him, is somewhere onboard. As Tars Tarkas, The Herd and Carter watch the mid-air battle, the former explains that those from Zodanga wear red and are called Red Men. People from Helium wear blue and are called Blue Men. Sab Than’s forces overwhelm the Helium ship, but he cannot find his betrothed amongst the captive fighters. Dejah slips from a hiding spot and tries to escape, but she slips and is left clinging to the edge of her ship. She loses her grip, and The Herd and Carter jumps through air to catch her. When they land, they tells her to get behind him so they can battle the advancing Red Men. Dejah grabs a sword and demonstrates her prowess in battle. Sab Than and his forces are temporarily defeated and leave. Dejah surrenders to the Tharks, and Tars Tarkas gives her to Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Peaches, Ellie and Carter as a spoil of war. She will be safe as long as Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Peaches, Ellie and Carter agrees to fight for the Tharks and help them dominate their enemies. To protect Dejah, Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter agrees to be their fighter and is made a Thark warrior, much to the displeasure of the mutinous Tal Hajus (voiced by Liev Schreiber). Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Ellie and Carter learns he’s on Mars by talking with Dejah. She begs them to help her save Helium, but they professes that they wants no part of war. Dejah does not believe Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter comes from Earth, called Jasoom by Dejah, but when they shows her the medallion that brought him to Barsoom, she realizes he might be a Thern. Much to Sola’s distress, Dejah takes Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter into the Thark temple, which is forbidden to non-Tharks. Dejah explains that Therns are the messengers of the Goddess, that they came from Jasoom, and that they helped people on Barsoom “back in the time of the oceans.” If Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Ellie, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Carter and Dejah travel down the sacred river Is, to the Gates of Is, he might find the answers necessary to return home. She agrees to take Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Peaches, Ellie and Carter to the Gates of Is. Sarkoja discovers Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Peaches, Ellie, Carter, Dejah, and Sola inside the temple. She reports their break in to Tars Tarkas, who is furious at Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Ellie and Carter’s betrayal, mostly because he must now sentence Sola to death. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter discerns, from Tars Tarkas’s concern for Sola’s fate, that she is his daughter. Tars Tarkas decides to allow Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Ellie, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Carter and Dejah to escape, as long as they take Sola with them. He would rather she die in a sacred place than a Thark fighting pit. Tal Hajus is furious when he discovers that Tars Tarkas helped the trio escape. Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Buck, Brooke, Carter, Dejah, and Sola ride Manny, Peaches, Ellie and Julian through the barren Barsoom landscape. Woola accompanies them, and Sola tells Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter that Woola will follow them anywhere. They pass cities that Sab Than and his army have destroyed. Dejah reiterates that Helium is Barsoom’s last hope. Eventually Sola, Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Peaches, Ellie and Carter deduce that Dejah has been leading them towards Helium, not the River Is. Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira and Carter forces Dejah off Julian and pretends they will abandon her. A desperate Dejah finally admits that she “escaped” Helium because she did not want to marry Sab Than. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Ellie and Carter accuses her of abandoning her people, but he takes pity on her and allows her to rejoin the group. Dejah agrees to take them to the River Is. Sab Than prepares to leave his ship to travel to Helium. A general advises him against going alone, without a bodyguard, but Sab Than disregards his concern. He believes that meeting Tardos Mors without a bodyguard will be a gesture of good will. After he leaves, the general transforms into Matai Shang. Another grey robed man informs Matai Shang that the gang have reached the River Is more quickly than expected, and Matai Shang teleports himself to a rock formation overlooking the river. At the river, Sola tries to embark on the journey to the Gates of Is alone, which is suicide. When The Herd and Carter tells her that Tars Tarkas is her father, she tells him she wants to honor her father by dying. The Herd and Carter convinces Sola to accompany them and Dejah, then decide what honoring her father means. Eventually the gang arrive at a giant umbrella-like rock formation, the Gates of Is. The Herd and Carter grabs Dejah and jumps to the top of the rock formation. When they began to walk around the top, the center begins to lower, so a set of stairs emerges. The stairs lead into a cave. When Dejah touches the medallion to the ground, the floor turns into the same webbed blue material that forms Sab Than’s weapon. The pair discover the same glowing nine-legged spider symbol on Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Ellie and Carter’s gold, and Dejah identifies the symbol as the nine rays. When they place the medallion on the group, the solar system appears on the ground, which each planet following its yearly rotation around the sun. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter steps on Jasoom/Earth, and a set of symbols connects the planet to Barsoom. Dejah tells Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Ellie and Carter she could decipher the symbols if she had the correct codes, but those scrolls are still in Helium. Carter becomes angry, thinking that Dejah is still trying to convince them to go to Helium, but Sola’s distressed cries distract them. Outside, a different tribe of Tharks, led by Matai Shang, are shooting at Sola. Manny, Sid, Diego, Julian, Buck, Brooke, Crash, Eddie, Shira, Peaches, Ellie, Carter and Dejah jump down to the boat, and the gang paddles back to where they left Woola. They set out on their horse creatures, still pursued by the murderous Thark tribe. Eventually they near Helium, but the Tharks are approaching too quickly for all of them to reach the city in time. Carter flashes back to coming home to the ravaged cabin in which he lived with his wife and his daughter. Their burned bodies lie inside the doorway. John Carter, Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Buck, Julian and Eddie tells Sola to take Dejah, Peaches, Ellie, Brooke and Shira to the safety of Helium, while they stays to fight the Tharks. They tells them that they has already been too late before. Peaches and Dejah protests, but Ellie, Shira, Brooke and Sola grabs both of them and runs. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter tries to force Woola to flee with the women, but faithful Woola remains anchored to his eight masters’s side. Carter, who took Dejah’s sword, flashes back to burying his wife and daughter. The Tharks reach them, and each slash of his sword coincides with his shovel (on Earth) digging into the ground. He, Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Woola tear into the Thark tribe as he flashes back to placing his wife’s wedding ring on his hand. The Tharks begin to overwhelm them, and Carter, Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian and Buck disappears under a pile of alien warriors. Dejah, Peaches, Ellie, Brooke and Shira reaches Helium – Sola slips away, reluctant to go into a human city – and is greeted like the princess Dejah is. Dejah's father greets her joyfully, but their reunion takes a turn for the uncomfortable when Sab Than appears. Apparently Tardos Mors was won over when Sab Than came to Helium without an escort. Sab Than tries to suck up to Dejah and even offers her his sword to kill him. Dejah considers cutting his head off but eventually agrees to marry Sab Than for the greater good of her people. She does ask for Carter, Manny, Sid, Diego, Buck, Julian, Crash and Eddie to receive medical help. She and her personnel find Carter, Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Buck, Julian and Eddie buried under a pile of dead Tharks, but his is still alive. Carter, Manny, Sid, Diego, Buck, Julian, Crash and Eddie awakens in a guarded cell in Zodanga. Dejah and her retinue have migrated there for the wedding. Red Men guard Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian, and Carter, and they are reluctant to allow Kantos Kan to pay the them a visit. Once inside The Herd (expect for Shira, Ellie, Brooke and Peaches) and Carter’s cell, Kantos Kan whispers to Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter to take them hostage. When Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter is confused by their request, Kantos Kan grabs his own sword, holds it to his neck, and grabs Manny, Sid, Diego, Buck, Julian, Crash, Eddie and Carter’s arms to make it seem like the latter has taken them hostage. They escape the cell, and Kantos Kan tells Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Julian, Buck, Eddie and Carter to jump them to Sab Than’s palace. Manny, Sid, Diego, Julian, Buck, Crash, Eddie and Carter doesn’t know if they can make the long jump, but they goes just far enough to grab a stone ledge and tumble into Dejah’s bridal suite. Several servant women attend Dejah, Brooke, Peaches, Ellie and Shira, who commands them, and Kantos Kan, to leave her alone with Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Buck and Carter. Dejah tells Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Julian, Buck and Carter that she will marry Sab Than to prevent John Carter from destroying Helium – unless Manny, Sid, Diego, Buck, Julian, Crash, Eddie and Carter will help her people. Again, he declines. Dejah asks if there’s nothing on Barsoom worth fighting for, and she clearly means herself. Carter glances at his wedding rings and says no. But he’s conflicted about his feelings for the princess. Dejah then reveals that she understood the symbols at the Gates of Is. She hands Carter the medallion and tells him the phrase that, if said while holding the medallion, will take them home. Manny, Sid, Diego, Julian, Buck, Crash, Eddie and Carter repeats the first part of the phrase, but he has trouble saying, “Jasoom.” Dejah urges them to say it, but just as he is about to say, “Jasoom,” Sab Than and his men burst into the room. Sab Than asks whether Dejah, Peaches, Shira, Brooke and Ellie is alone, and when she turns to see Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter has teleported back to Earth, she says, “Yes. We are.”, Sab Than leads five of them to their wedding procession, and the matron takes once last glance at the room before shutting the door behind her. Manny, Sid, Diego, Julian, Buck, Crash, Eddie and Carter, who did not teleport back to Earth but rather hid in an alcove, goes into the hallway. the matron waits there for them. She transforms into Matai Shang, and when Matai Shang touches Manny, Sid, Diego, Julian, Buck, Crash, Eddie and Carter, tattooed chains appear on the latter’s skin. He also takes Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter’s medallion. Matai Shang, The Herd and Carter ride through the city in a lizard-horse drawn carriage until the wedding procession halts them. Matai Shang transforms into the Red Man general from earlier and leads now powerless Carter and The Herd through the city. The Herd and Carter believes Matai Shang is a Thern, but Matai Shang explains that he and his brethren oversee the rise and fall of planets. They are immortal, and they feed off of the destruction of planets. Matai Shang transforms into an old woman, and he, Carter, Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck and Julian watch Dejah’s and Sab Than’s lavish wedding procession. Dejah, obviously heartbroken, stares straight ahead alongside with Shira, Ellie, Brooke and Peaches and does not see Carter. Matai Shang tells Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter that that night, during the wedding ceremony, Sab Than will kill not only Dejah, also Shira, Manny's daughter Peaches, Manny's wife Ellie and Sid's love interest Brooke thereby sealing his rule over Barsoom. This will presumably lead to the eventual end of life on Barsoom, and nature will follow its intended course, which is what Matai Shang and his brethren want. Matai Shang transforms into the general again and takes Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter to a flying ship. Before he can place Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter on the ship, though, Woola arrives on the scene. He attacks a shocked Matai Shang, allowing Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian, Carter (and Woola) to grab the medallion and make a getaway on the flying ship. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter crash-lands the ship in the desert, and Sola finds them and his faithful lizard-dog. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter convinces Sola that they must return to her tribe to rally their forces and save Shira, Ellie, Brooke, Peaches and Dejah. When they reach Sola’s city, however, they find that Tal Hajus has managed to overthrow Tars Tarkas. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter is thrown into prison to await a turn in the fighting pits, and though Sola will not fight in the pits, she will also be executed. A wounded Tars Tarkas greets Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter in the Thark prison. He becomes enraged when he discovers that Sola did not die on the River Is but will instead be executed in a much crueler manner. He, Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter emerge into the battle arena, littered with the carcasses of small boar-like creatures that Tars Tarkas killed. Tharks puts Gladiator costumes on Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck and Julian, and Tharks chains Carter to a rock, and Tal Hajus releases a white ape, a massive blind ape-like brute with multiple arms. Tars Tarkas initially seems to weak to fight, but when he, Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter team up, they begin to overpower the white ape. Tal Hajus releases a second white ape, and Sola, who is under Sarkoja’s watch, screams out, “Father!” Sarkoja tries to force Sola to watch her father’s death, but Sola attacks her, and both Tharks fall into the arena. A white ape quickly eats Sarkoja, but then Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter manages to kill it. He kills the second white ape by raising his sword just as the creature leaps upon him, Sola, and Tars Tarkas. He cuts his way through the white ape’s body and emerges victorious, with Sola and Tars Tarkas, through its back. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter demands to fight Tal Hajus for leadership of the Thark tribe. He easily defeats Tal Hajus. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter then tells the Tharks that if Helium falls, so will Barsoom. Their speech convinces the Tharks to join him in disrupting the wedding. Riding Manny and Julian, and led by John Carter, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie and Buck the Tharks burst into Zodanga but find the city is deserted. A frightened soldier tells The Herd and Carter that the wedding party actually went back to Helium for the ceremony. Sab Than’s army has gone there. Carter tries to convince the Tharks to use Zodanga’s flying ships to reach Helium in time. Tars Tarkas refuses, telling Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter that Tharks do not fly. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter takes a one-man ship and flies off towards Helium. In Helium’s palace, a priestess leads Dejah and Sab Than through the wedding ceremony and Shira, Ellie, Peaches and Brooks are in the audience. When Barsoom’s two moons align, their light flows into the palace through a giant monocle. It illuminates the wedding party. Sab Than and Dejah must drink from the same chalice before they truly wed, but Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter crashes through the palace roof before Dejah can take her sip. Sab Than tries to kill Ellie, Peaches and Dejah, but Manny and Carter prevents him. The wedding ceremony devolves into a chaotic fight between Red and Blue Men; when Sab Than reverses the monocle, the beam of light shoots into the night sky, and his awaiting army invades Helium. Just when all seems lost for Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian, Carter and the Blue Men, the Tharks arrive in flying ships and turn the battle’s tides. Matai Shang runs through the battle, trying to recapture The Herd and Carter’s medallion. He morphs into Dejah, but Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter sees through his disguise and knocks him off a ledge. Matai Shang shoots the blue webbed material at Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian, Carter and Sab Than. The blue webbed material constricts and kills Sab Than, but Woola again attacks Matai Shang, breaking the material’s hold on Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter. Tars Tarkas gets ahold of the medallion, and Matai Shang morphs into Julian in order to get the medallion. But Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck and the real Julian stops him, and Matai Shang teleports away, Scrat tries to bury his acorn again but the acorn drops in the Colosseum and sees a doppelganger Scratte (Warhoon) and steals it. When Helium has won the battle, Carter and Dejah embrace. Carter takes his wife’s wedding ring off of his finger and proposes to Dejah with it. She accepts his proposal, and they finish the ceremony that she and Sab Than began. Later, Shira, Ellie, Brooke, Peaches and Dejah awakes in a bedroom and finds Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter standing on their balcony. They look out at earth and tells them that they feel like they would left a light on back there. Though Shira, Ellie, Peaches, Brooke and Dejah is concerned, they hug and tells them to go back to bed. They will take a short walk before returning to them. He, The Herd (expect for Shira, Ellie, Brooke and Peaches) and Woola stroll to another balcony, and they tosses their medallion into a deep canyon. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter turns to go back to Shira, Ellie, Peaches, Brooke and Dejah, but Brooke stops to them to thank her. Woola growls at The Herd and Carter, but it’s too late. Brooke morphs into Matai Shang and sends Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter back to Earth. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter awakens in a warehouse. Carter's beard is very long, and they realized that they time travel to 2018. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter sobs and tries to return to Barsoom, but they cannot. In a voice over they tell Ned that he has spent days looking for another medallion. That they finally found one a few months ago, but they couldn’t return to Barsoom immediately. The Therns have been following them ever since he and The Herd time-travel, and when Carter goes back to Barsoom, they will leave a replica of themselves on Earth. If the Therns kill those replicas, they will die on Barsoom. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter instructs “Edgar” to watch over their bodies; in fact, the Therns might already be breaking into his mausoleum. Ned rushes to his uncle and The Herd’s mausoleum. He remembers that his uncle and The Herd never called him “Edgar” and presses the ‘N,’ ‘E,’ and ‘D’ in the ‘Inter Mundos.’ The mausoleum door opens, and Ned are shocked to discover his uncle and The Herd’s bodies are missing. Matai Shang appears behind him, but before the grey robed man can do any harm, John Carter appears and shoots him. “Immortal ain’t bulletproof,” they tells Cart'ers nephew. They take Matai Shang’s medallion; that they faked finding another medallion to lure Matai Shang out of hiding. Manny, Sid, Diego, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Julian and Carter bids Ned goodbye and urges him to do something meaningful with their life. Then they shut the door, lays down on the body slab, and says the phrase that will return them to Barsoom.
