Does that mean that they no longer need to stay aligned to Outworld and can simply go back to Earthrealm to... do whatever cyberninja assassins do when they have no major tournaments to participate?

Is there any reason for them to be the bad guys again? After MK 3, they only kept on "being bad" to capture Kuai Liang for his assimilation. But now that already happened. They don't seem to have any major targets now, unless they're after the MK X Sub-Zero, who we speculate to be Bi Han.

Is it possible that the Lin Kuei clan finally decides to join the rest of Earthrealm against the incoming threat (at least until a point of the game)? We could finally see both cyborgs fighting together for the good side.

Also, I'm curious about Cyrax and his free will. Is it possible that he re-acquires it again in the new timeline? Sektor and Cyrax seem to be more focused on being loyal to the Lin Kuei. Whatever the Lin Kuei says that's just what it is. I think we'll see them in Earthrealm.

For them to be bad guys. Kind of. You mentioned MKX Sub-Zero and that could be it. However, I think they look at him as dead so they're probably not going for him. Besides, if this new Sub-Zero is Bi-Han then I think he's still a spectre just with free will. I also looked at Smoke as being a motive for their being bad. He was killed in a cathedral. The Lin Kuei could still be looking for him. And now we're talking about Tremor. He is former Lin Kuei. So he could be a motive.

To answer your question...I think it's possible that the Lin Kuei joins Earthrealm but as a part of the alliance between Earthrealm and Outworld against Netherrealm.

I think that Cyrax will gain his free will through Sonya or even Cassie.

I have a new question. Does anyone know if Sektor doesn't have free will?
