[At such a close distance, it's easy to tell two things:
1) The blue figure is definitely damaged, the marks from the light projectiles having left behind several ugly marks in its metal and a miniscule stream of blackened debris from one of its arms. 2) The figure's mask glow seems to be constant, ebbing with the sounds of respiration under the waves.
At the boat, ice blasts through the wooden beams of the bottom of the boat with a garbled cry of pain from above. (9) The green figure sways, and the boat rocks unsteadily, before it takes back to the air for the time being. It will be much harder to spot unless they get closer to the surface, but it doesn't stop them from trying to attack again with a blade of air towards Void Archive's partner. Hopefully they don't need to emerge for air anytime soon!
Though the blue figure attempts to whip Void Archive into deeper water first, Void Archive's attack hits quicker (8), the sound of crunching metal muted in their ears. Grunting in pain, it dislodges Void Archive like a hook shot of surprising strength, a whirlpool pushed in Void Archive's direction to try and trap them a good distance from the boat.
They are clearly not aiming to kill them outright. So what are they doing?]
