Opening[]
TBA
Rival[]
Name: Dante Alighieri
Reason: Rick wanders around the rival arena, searching for Jennifer but grows frustrated after he ends up with no luck. He then comes across Dante, who threatens him with his scythe after mistaking Rick for a hellish monster. Rick tries to convince Dante that he is not a monster and just an ordinary Human like he is but the Terror Mask butts in, telling Rick to show him how useless his scythe is against a weapon such as himself. Dante is then convinced that Rick really is a monster from hell and prepares to attack him. Rick gives up on trying to persuade Dante and gets ready for more blood.
Connection: Both Rick and Dante are from games that are extremely violent (Splatterhouse and Dante's Inferno). They also must rescue their loved ones from the main villains of their games. Both of them also have companions who help them out during their quests (Terror Mask for Rick and Virgil for Dante).
