New Ermac Deception Story Theory (possible spoilers)
Whilst I posted a theory on Ermacs story a while ago, a few developments have nullified my old theory. Here is a link anyway.

Raiden uses the ethereal blast by choice and this therefore nullifies my theory. This is in the opening FMV. I have also been doing some more research and found this extract in the Kontent on MK:DA.
The Dragon King died before his holy men could hatch the last known Great Dragon. So that his undefeatable army could join him when he was finally resurrected, they willingly allowed themselves to be ritualistically killed and buried within his tomb.
So this also nullifies my theory as I said that they were murdered. They were sacrificed willingly, unlike my theory.
I now have a new theory.
Shortly after the Dragon Kings death warriors willingly allowed themselves to be killed. This was so they could serve in his undefeatable army. When the warriors were killed their souls had to be stripped from their body for the spell to work. The souls of the warriors didnt know that this was their fate. They still had the desire to fight for the Dragon King. It was at this time that they formed the ninja Ermac. The souls had decided to help in keeping the story of the last Great Dragon egg and the Dragon Kings resurrection secret. Ermac had successfully kept it a secret until Shao Kahn had taken rule as emperor of Outworld. One of Shao Kahns extermination squads had almost stumbled upon the Great Dragon egg. To stop this Ermac turned himself in to the squad. They took him to Shao Kahn. Shao Kahn ordered that he be killed. The extermination squad attacked but was easily defeated by Ermac. Impressed with Ermacs telekinetic abilities, Shao Kahn ordered that he serve in his forces. Ermac agreed when he realized that he could keep Shao Kahn away from the Great Dragon egg. Ermac served in Shao Kahns attempted invasion of Earthrealm. In an angry rage after the failed invasion of Earthrealm, Shao Kahn threw Ermac into his dungeon. Ermac was left there until Shao Kahns death. The Earthrealm warrior Kenshi released him in turn for his help with telekinesis. Ermac has since learnt of the Dragon Kings resurrection. Ermac now serves as one of the Dragon Kings valued pillars of strength.
