And since MKX takes place so far ahead in time (in multiple intervals), we could see an older Kai well into his quest for self-enlightenment, more wise and well...badass. Bo' Rai Cho's training of Earth's warriors (since he, an Outworlder, couldn't oppose Outworld himself in Mortal Kombat) I think makes him a bit relevant, like a major "supporting" character (not saying I want him as a playable though, lol). And yeah, Onaga's return was depicted as totally inveitable; I imagine that maybe the only way to prevent it would be to kill his Holy Men (who had subdued Blaze), and destroy the Dragon Egg. Absolutely, but I wonder if Raiden's even going to be cool on the information well enough to actually figure out what he would need to do for that. I mean, his Armageddon version sends himself a message saying "He Must Win" and expects for himself to understand what that means when the younger Raiden doesn't.

Also, didn't Deadly Alliance and Deception take place years in the future like say perhaps 25 years in the future since MK4? I know that it took place years later because of Sub-Zero's aging in Deadly Alliance.
