and for 3. Im not saying he gets transformed into their champion, Im saying how it could have ripped away the Shadow Ninja abilites and either made him human again (or somewhat human, undead without the SHadow Abilites) or his soul goes back to hell but Shinnok turns him back into a cryomancer this time around and not a shadow NInja.

Also they could ahve saved Scoprion because they needed him, remember the Elder Gods are Selfish and Onaga had the power to rip them and the realms apart with the Kamidogu, so they could have thought "oh this wraith creature, we could use him" I think it would be nice to see Bi-Han as Sub-Zero all over again. Your theory is good about him becoming "human" again. But my point of Scorpion being saved by the Elder Gods is not that they didn't need him (which really, they didn't because it was Shujinko that killed Onaga and Scorpion arrived late to the party to do anything about him) but that if Scorpion was going to be purified in the soulnado then the Elder Gods just should've left him in there and once Scorpion comes back he sees the error of his ways and fights on the side of good. Just seems kind of pointless of Scorpion being saved if the soulnado purifies you anyway. But yes, the Elder Gods are very selfish. Oh sure, they don't want to interfere until it effects them then it's "uh, hey man, we'll make you powerful if you just do this thing for us".
