Here's an idea...
Let's assume that Erron Black did lie about how the altercation with Mavado went down...
Who is famous for his use of KNIVES? Who would be more likely to gut Mavado, a Red Dragon rival, like a fish?
That's right, Kano. I think Erron made up the part about what Kano said to him about him not being ruthless enough. I think it was Erron who held Mavado while Kano killed him. I also think it was Erron who gunned down a bunch of the Red Dragon guys; which only makes sense seeing as he is the gunslinger character.
Now here's where my speculation gets a little more wild...
Did Cassie then get the jump on Erron with her firearm? Is that when Kano actually fled? Could she have beat him before he subdued her and handed her over to the Red Dragon guys himself?
I think this story is going to have several people playing more than one side, not just Reiko. What if Erron Black is actually a former Red Dragon member? What if he is allied with Kotal (and by extension) Kano & the Black Dragon so he can take out Daegon and take back the RD for himself? And what if is also in contact with either Reiko or Havik?
That would explain him sending Sonya and Johnny into a trap on Shang Tsung's island where Havik and Reiko are waiting. Why would the Red Dragon lure them into a trap set by Reiko & Havik when under Daegon they're supposed to be working with Mileena's forces? Reiko is double crossing Mileena by working with Havik behind her back.
Reiko could have made Erron his 'inside man' on Kotal's team and enticed him into working with him(and Havik) by offering an avenue for him to take over his old clan(maybe he was kicked out for some reason?).
It wouldn't be too surprising for Reiko, a double crosser himself, to have an inside man on Kotal's team.
Erron is clearly a crappy inside man, then, as Reiko and the Red Dragon knew nothing of Cassie and Jacqui's being taken hostage until they overheard Kotal and Sonya's groups talking about it.
I think this speculation is way off-base. Erron and Kano killed Mavado? ... And then handed the girls over to the Red Dragon anyway? What?
Yes, Erron and Kano killed Mavado. Remember, they are both supposed to be working for Kotal Kahn. But after Kano left, Erron Black let the Red Dragon guys take them because A)he's just pretending to be an ally to Kotal and by extension Kotal's allies, the Special Forces crew from Earth and B)because he needed Cassie & Jacqui as bait to lure Johnny & Sonya to Shang Tsung's island, which is real goal because he is actually working with Reiko and/or Havik.
The reasons are clear cut and make sense. I just don't think you followed along with my post very well. I apologize if it was too convoluted in the way I laid it out.
