From what I have read (and my Eastern friends can verify this) about the Transfiguration, the Greek implies that Moses and Elijah were already there, but made visible - not that they were called away from somewhere else The appearance of both is problematic in my opinion. Elijah didn't die, yet his body would have to be spiritual for him to appear. And Moss would have been in Hades until Christ rescued him along with other OT righteous.
