Thoughts on Bi-Han and Ermac's interaction.
Tumblr media
Bi-Han: Surely you have a weakness.
Ermac: You have many. We have none.
Hmm maybe i'm reading too much into it, but when Ermac mentions Bi-Han having many weaknesses, i got a feeling he means the Lin Kuei.
All that Bi-Han does is for his clan, and it says a lot that the LK trust him without question. Kinda makes sense why Kuai Liang decides to abandon the LK cause there's no talking about it with them, and they all won't believe him or share the same side as him anyway, cause they all believe in Bi-Han. Maybe they're all that fed up being under Liu Kang's authority, or maybe they believe they deserve smth better, freedom to be who they are, after centuries + generations of protecting Earthrealm.
Tumblr media
Ermac: The Lin Kuei fight as one?
Bi-Han: With me as their heart and mind.
Also, i may be reaching out lol.
What if what he means by him being the heart and mind is both figuratively and literally? Like, Bi-Han is going full Cyber Initiative, perhaps more like OG Sektor, commanding the LK under his order.
If that's the case, well... NRS give Sektor's story to Bi-Han. This is just my hc + speculation, but if the Cyber LK is only under Bi-Han's authority, then if he 'falls', so will the majority of the LK members.
And later on if, IF, Bi-Han gets a redemption arc and becomes UoL Bi-Han, that explains why he's not wearing any LK insignia; there is no more LK thanks to his little Cyber Initiative.
So it could be:
1. A small number of LK members survive and they get a new Grandmaster, or
2. A small number of LK members survive and they are waiting for Bi-Han to return, or
3. None of the LK members survive, or
4. The LK is rebuilt anew as an extension of the Shirai Ryu
Ehh idk pure speculations, like we might get Bi-Han commanding an army of mech-suits dubbed the Cyber Lin Kuei 🤷‍♀️
