The vampire Nitara had at long
last discovered the location of the Orb that bound her to
Outworld. Unfortunately, it rested in a location she could never
access. However, the ninja cyborg Cyrax of Earth realm had the
ability to retrieve it for her. Through careful manipulation,
she convinced Reptile to engage Cyrax in combat and destroy his
arm panel in the process. The damage to his transporter left him
stranded in Outworld. Her plan was coming together beautifully.
After what seemed like an eternity, Cyrax
finally emerged from the lava, holding the Orb that had bound
Nitara's realm to Outworld for ages. At last it was within her
grasp. She would be able to free her people from Shao Kahn's
imprisonment. Fulfilling her end of the bargain, she sent Cyrax
back to his Earthrealm home in exchange for the Orb.
Nitara stared into the Orb. It seethed with
the power trapped within. She raised it above her head, and then
smashed it to the floor. It shattered with an inhuman,
soul-rending howl. Its horrible energy exploded away, and tore
her consciousness from her. She awoke later for the first time
on her native soil.
