In his escape attempt Azemo had used his magycka, Shadows Call, to its full potential. First he had used it to teleport Bella and Ima into the room bag. Next he teleported all the weapons he had thrown away back to him. Finally he used the last third of his mana to use the new part of (magycka) Shadows Call, to teleport himself behind a tree.
As the shadows spit him out, Azemo reappeared behind the tree and started yelling at Reginald in his head. 'Transform me please!'
Hearing the urgency in Azemo's voice Reginald did not hesitate and transformed Azemo into his monster form. While in monster form everything on his body was temporarily unavailable until he transformed back, but it meant that Azemo did not have to worry about carrying the room bag in his monster form.
"Keep your guards up. He might just be invisible or something." The Lightning Sword knew first hand of Azemo's sneak attack capabilities so he wanted to warn his companions.
