Mortal Kombat: Deception is the sixth canonical installment in the Crazy Awesome and Bloody Mortal Kombat franchise. It was released for Play Station 2 and Xbox in 2004 and for Game Cube in 2005, and it takes place right After the End Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance. It turns out that, while the events of previous games were taking place, Onaga, disguised as an Elder God emmisary, tricked a youngster named Shujinko into getting six MacGuffins for him, across the realms. This, plus Reptile's body being used as a host, managed to bring back the Dragon King to life.
