Asking Kizaki to let him talk to Naoki for a bit, Haruto learns the youth's reasons before Kizaki tells him that he will look after Naoki from now on.

However, fighting a losing battle against the Ghouls, Kamen Rider Wizard Hurricane Style arrives to wipe out the monsters. Suddenly, Phoenix arrives and overpowers Wizard in Hurricane and Water Styles before "Naoki" is unmasked as Kizaki's aide. Confronting him about it, Haruto learns that Kizaki made a promise to Katayama to keep his son safe as he attempted to kill Gargoyle after the Phantom received order to create a Phantom from Naoki.
However, Medusa expected Kizaki's plan as she Gargoyle wait long enough for her suspicion to be correct when Naoki is about to be taken. Using the Plamonsters to hold Gargoyle at bay, Rinko takes Naoki to safety before the Phantom catches up to them.

This causes Naoki to blame himself as he begins to fall into despair as Haruto arrives with Kizaki, transforming into Wizard while Kizaki tends to Naoki and tells him not to give up. But as Naoki begins to crack, Wizard becomes Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Dragon to destroy Gargoyle before entering Naoki's Underworld to exterminate the youth's inner Phantom, Jormungandr.
Later, Kizaki sends Wajima back to Omokagedo with the magic stone as his way of affirming Haruto as an ally.
