The thing about Taven is that the main reason for him becoming a hero was to prevent Armageddon from happening. However, Raiden's visions were sent to his past self to ensure it wouldn't happen too, and since Raiden mentioned they had already ceased by the time of MKX, I guess it means he made it. Although it probably means he just switched it for an even more screwed up reality and future event...

But back to Taven, without Armageddon to prevent, all he's got left is defeating Daegon, which also sounds cool and is probably going to happen at any time anyway. Other than that, he seems to have become a secondary hero. What I liked in your idea is that it seemed to me like a side quest he'd have to go through with Jade to help the protagonist defeat Onaga. But with "secondary character" and "side quest" I don't mean he becomes irrelevant at all: his role would be essential to Onaga's defeat, only much more indirect than the final battle with him. Something such as killing his second-in-command and/or destroying the source of his power, for example, who and whatever these are going to be. I think Shujinko should also be involved, since he is the only one capable of defeating Onaga. Well, he and Shao Kahn (albeit via treachery). Shujinko, and any other 3D Era character still alive can do something important, ad Daryl have showed by adding Havik, Hotaru and Kai in his game idea, in a awesome way.
