There was no reason for Raiden to take Liu with him in the first place. Liu Kang has zero role in that scene with the Elder Gods, even as the MK Champion. Raiden just cannot ever get it through his head that the Elder Gods don't care about anyone. I believe that if the heroes had both Liu Kang and Nightwolf leading them, Sindel would have been beaten (even with her power up from getting Shang Tsung's souls) without any losses or anyone having to sacafice themselves. Liu Kang abandoning everyone with Raiden (for no reason) was a contrived plot device that only existed so so many of the characters could be killed off.
