@Obreck C: Bi Han is fully purified back to his mortal form (Elder Sub-Zero). I think this option would be the best option in terms of a storyline. Somehow Noob gets trapped into a soulnado and gets purified into Bi-Han or Sub-Zero with enhanced of powers and strength giving him a platform for a enhanced moveset with old and new moves alike. Kuai Liang could retire from the tournament and report back to the Lin Kuei of Bi-Han's discovery while Bi-Han could have a motivation of vengenace similar to Scorpion from being trapped in Noob Saibot's body. This could give birth the alliance of Scorpion and Sub-Zero or "Fire and Ice" as the next theme for the video game with the most popular characters as the front men of the next theme.
Noob Saibot's old alias can transform from the sheer force of being trapped inside of the soulnado and give rise to the alias "Nightshade" with enhanced powers and present a platform for an enhanced moveset with old and new moves alike. He maybe after the transformation can align himself with the Lin Kuei since in the past he has shown alliances with Smoke or switch a become a Shirai Ryu member. Either way I think it would be a good touch to add the soulnado aspect of the storyline to the characters providing a vehicle to enhance their powers and movesets.
