Got it! I'll focus on extending the word limit by refining the language, clarifying the scenes, and enhancing descriptions without adding anything out of context or changing your original style. Here's a polished version of the scene:
---
The howling noise from the environment continued to rise, louder and louder, until it suddenly ceased. The eerie silence that followed was almost suffocating.
Lexington, who had been absent earlier, finally returned, having gone off to check on something critical. Now that she was back, the group could fully regroup and focus on their next move.
Without wasting time, they began to formulate a plan. Their goal was straightforward but dangerous: dive headfirst into the battle, disrupt the enemy forces as much as possible, and sow chaos. But there was something more significant at play. Defender had shared vital information-a black cube had been stolen by a maid from the opposing forces. This was no ordinary artifact; according to Defender, it was the same black cube Akagi had used during her devastating attack on Pearl Harbor. That knowledge shifted their objective entirely.
No longer was their priority just winning the battle; they now had to retrieve the black cube and ensure it didn't fall back into enemy hands.
But something wasn't right.
Edinburgh's hands trembled as she nervously stared at the black cube, which now emitted a strange light, brighter than it had before.
"Why is it shining like this?" she muttered, her voice barely above a whisper.
Sheffield, standing nearby, glanced at the cube but dismissed the concern. "We should worry about that later. Right now, our focus is on rescuing our allies."
Before anyone could respond, a voice pierced the air-sharp, commanding. "Surrender, Azur Lane! You are surrounded!" Prinz Eugen's voice boomed from above as she hovered in mid-air. Belfast, who had been observing the situation with a cautious eye, widened her gaze in disbelief. Her jaw dropped as she took in the scene.
"We're not just surrounded by them..." Belfast's voice trailed off, her shock evident.
Suddenly, four enormous ships descended from the sky with a deafening roar. The moment they touched down, their sheer presence evaporated several Siren ships in an instant, their monstrous forms casting long shadows over the battlefield.
Zuikaku's breath hitched in her throat as she gazed at the behemoths. "It's... so big."
thats what she sa-
N O
At that very moment, a sudden communication crackled to life. A commanding voice echoed across all broadcasting channels, cutting through the tension like a knife.
"This is the Federation ship Enterprise Perhaps I should kindly ask you all to cease your fighting. If you refuse... we may have to use force. Do not test us." The voice was calm yet undeniably authoritative, leaving an air of gravity in its wake.
The entire battlefield seemed to freeze. Everyone-from the Sirens to Azur Lane's forces-stopped, utterly stunned by the announcement. For a few moments, the chaos of war had been silenced by the unexpected demand.
Prinz Eugen, who had been poised for battle, furrowed her brow, clearly taken aback. "We'll meet again," she finally muttered before issuing the retreat order. "Everyone, fall back!"
Ayanami, who had been prepared to launch an attack, abruptly shut her mouth and stumbled backward, retreating as well.
Meanwhile, Laffey, true to her nature, waved lazily and said, "Bye-bye," before promptly falling asleep, unbothered by the unfolding situation.
