Wow a lot has been said since yesterday. Let me try to catch up here.

@Nemesis: The point you made about Raiden preventing Shujinko from obtaining the Kamadogu. I'm sure he won't prevent him from getting it but he would prevent him from giving it to Onaga in the first place. And good point about Hotaru. Now, this doesn't necessarily stop Onaga's return. Onaga just wanted ultimate power whereas the Dragon Egg could be hatched at anytime and find a host body. However, if Onaga's not there for Hotaru to allign with then a different path could be taken for Hotaru.

When it comes to Cyrax, it's possible that Cyrax is malfunctioned just like in the Original Timeline. Although, that's not necessarily true anymore.

With your point on Shinnok being the final boss, I doubt that. He might be the final boss of a section of the game. Like what Shang Tsung was in the first part of MK9.

@Ridley: Yeah, I suppose that Raiden doesn't necessarily know all the details of Onaga's return. He might actually be in the dark about the Dragon Eggs. But if you just stop Shujinko then it might be okay, at least for now. Like prolonging the process.

@Macaulyn: I'm sure Nitara would be in this game. This is only due to the fact that she wants Vaeternus to be free from Outworld. And since Shinnok wants to take over Outworld and Earthrealm he will have to go through Nitara in order to take over Outworld. But I suppose that she could allign with Shinnok in exchange for giving her Vaeternus' Essense Sphere.

Haha, I love your point about Raiden getting possessed by the Elder Gods. He cheated in order to defeat Shao Kahn when Liu Kang could've defeated him no sweat. Haha.

On your point about the gods, I've thought about that too. It keeps me up at night (not really). Ultimately, that would be interesting to see a new god character like from MKM: Sub-Zero replacing Fujin or even all the gods coming into the game or all the gods minus Fujin. If Raiden sees Fujin in no danger then he might just go for the other gods and not Fujin. Kind of like he did for Smoke and the Lin Kuei taking Sub-Zero instead.

And yes, that would be good to see a shadow monk as a playable character. At least a fightable character in this next game.

@Yellow: To answer your question, I'm sure that Reiko would go with whatever Shao Kahn wanted for himself. If Kotal is the son of Shao then Reiko'll want to follow Kotal but if it's Mileena then it would be that way instead. And that is some good critical thinking there. Boon has led us in different directions depending on how he wants us to think for whatever is going on. He has brought us to believe that there would be secret characters in past games and they never came into the fray. Plus, he never actually said that Shao's not Kotal's relative. Hell, they could be brothers.

@Jacky: I don't think that what Macaulyn said necessarily means that Kotal isn't strong but that just because you're a god it doesn't mean that you can't be defeated by a mere mortal.
