Death Knell
John Carter and his crew have recently escaped the city of Therns in a stolen Black Pirate aircraft. Thuvia the Huntress, a beautiful maiden he rescued from a cult, navigates the ship towards the city of Helium, where Dejah Thoris awaits their arrival. A Black Pirate, who is a stowaway, comes out of hiding to attack John. The two duel in a sword fight, but John quickly subdues his opponent. The ship suddenly goes out of control, so they land to see if they can borrow another one from a nearby village. Thuvia remains with the captured pirate as John and Tars Tarkas go inside an old building. Inside, they're greeted by a chubby villager who at first seems friendly, but then he challenges the two to an insane game of battles. While combating several beasts, John determines that something is not right, and he is being used by his foe somehow. He is correct, for it's all an illusion cast by the true enemy, Malada, the White Queen of Barsoom. She is stealing John's warrior powers as he fights. However, John is able to unhinge a giant hanging tapestry which falls on top of the old witch. She stumbles into a pit, falling to her death. John and Tars Tarkas tear down more tapestries, which fill the room, and create a patchwork air balloon to travel to the city of Helium in.
