TOURNAMENT BATTLE - ROUND 2:
Nitara versus Cyrax
#42 Supreme Ranking #16
3 wins 5 losses Record 11 wins 6 losses
Round 2 (2012) Best Result Round 3 (2013)

Nitara hasn't been seen in the new timeline, but her blood magik was felt through the actions of Havik during MKX tie-in comics. The vampires of Vaeternus maintain a reclusive existence, but the status of their realm in this timeline remains unknown.

Freed from his programming: Cyrax chose self-destruction rather than accepting leadership as Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei. The resulting explosion destroyed the last of Sektor's automated minions, allowing Sub-Zero to lead the clan with a fresh start.

Will Nitara be drawn from of the shadows by dangers unleashed by a new Netherrealm regime? Could the sacrifice of Cyrax be undone by the same technology as Triborg? Choose their destiny! FIGHT!
