9,214 words; I'm still a little behind from not writing yesterday, but I finished off chapter two completely - about 3,205 words in a sitting. And boy does it suck. :)
I guess I shouldn't complain, as well as it flowed once I got into the action. Had to skip a bit of the journey to the fire cavern; it just got too boring to continue with.

narli's suggestion:
For a disorienting moment or two Squall could feel two guardian forces stirring in his mind, Quetzalcoatl and Ifrit shifting and settling and pushing at one another, a rumble of thunder and a crackle of flame. It was the first time he'd ever junctioned two guardian forces at once; it took some getting used to.
When the vertigo faded, the first thought that came to his mind was that suddenly the cavern's heat didn't really seem all that bad.
Quistis had the stopwatch in her hand and was hitting the button to stop the timer. "How much left?" Squall asked her, and found his voice rough with smoke.
She looked up at him, blue eyes bright; her reply was rich with suppressed laughter. "Four seconds."
Squall drew in a long breath, testing his ribs where Ifrit's fist had landed. Breathing hurt, but it was only bruises. Nothing broken.
"Let's go," he said.
