Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Princess and the Ghost. Enjoy the 900-words. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.

(Argus)

"This is either crazy or stupid." Weiss whispered to Ray as she stood in front of the group of people.

"It will make enough noise for us to sneak into Atlas." Ray stated with a thumbs up after that.

Weiss knew it was more than that. Ray had spent a few hours telling her how she needed to step out from under Jacque's shadow. This would be a good step in doing that.

She stepped up to the microphone, not the best one they could find.

"Good evening, members of Argus, and of Atlas." The crowd, usually not used to such an event, had turned out in more numbers then she could count.

"Many of you might know me as Weiss Schnee, proud daughter and soon to be CEO of SDC or the Schnee Dust Company." Weiss started, getting a few murmurs and this caused a few glances at each other since everything she said was common.

"But what you may not know is the reason for my father's sudden demotion of my position. I can assure you all it has NOTHING to do with me being incompetent, lazy or selfish." Weiss got more murmurs from the crowd.

"MY father terminated my rights to be CEO… because he hates that I wish to be a Huntress and not a company puppet." Weiss narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists.

All the slaps to her face, all the berating, all the brownnosing. Her father was nothing more then a petty tyrant in his own kingdom, screaming at anyone who didn't do what he wanted.

This was all the time it took for a Manta to fly off, heading as fast as it could away from Argus. Ruby and the others had managed to get away. Weiss had made her own arrangements for Atlas. She knew the radar was still up, but the Manta would outfly Cordo's Colossus

"My father has spent years behind red tape. He's made shady business deals, had some business rivals MURDERED and he generally treats Faunus as garbage due to their traits." The crowd started to go into an uproar over this as Weiss trucked on.

She'd already be in trouble for 'slander' and talking about confidential work.

"The reason he ordered and revoked my SDC heiress position is because I was furious that my father cared more about profits then providing for others… so I come here NOT as the CEO of SDC. I come here as the CEO of a new Company, still carrying the Schnee Flag, but without ANY desire to make profit over morals. I am fully aware many of you will think I am either lying, treating this as a powerplay to get back at my father, or just an excuse to get out of any wrongdoing with SDC." Weiss stepped off the stage, a glyph cradling her as she floated to the ground.

"Today will be the birth of Schnee Solutions, and many of you? you who were wrongfully fired or dismissed as incompetent for the job due to not having that yes man attitude? I'm pleased to announce that ANY applications are allowed and I will be paying after 3 days… that is the time it will take to secure my family inheritance Lien, and start up production." Weiss stated as the group either cheered, looked to the side as unsure of what to think.

"Schnee Solutions will open its first office here in Argus… and I have appointed proud Faunus: Charlie Burrows, former head of my father's Dust plant here in Argus before he was fired due to bringing up safety concerns within the plant." Weiss walked towards the Bullhead her company allies provided for us.

"Now, if you're excuse me? I will be departing to make sure that my father pays for his transgressions, thank you." Weiss stated before boarding the Bullhead, Ray was already within the cockpit.

Cheers and cries of anger came from outside as Ray powered up the Bullhead and it zoomed off towards Atlas. Weiss was glad at the very least that Cordo was too busy organizing her men to try and catch Ruby. They either didn't believe Weiss would dare to be part of the plan to sneak into Atlas or they didn't care.

"How long do you think it takes before Cordo is forced to return to Argus?" Weiss asked as Ray continued on their flight to Atlas.

"Give or take 4 minutes, the Manta has to have escaped radar distance by now and we're going to be out of the range in 2 minutes. Cordo loves Atlas and yet she didn't see a distraction from Atlas coming." Ray gunned the engine towards Atlas.

"I know… things are obvious now that they're going sideways. We need to book it to Atlas; my father is going to…" there was alarms on the dashboard.

"Contact!" Ray looked at it with anger.

"Atlas?" Ray looked at her and shook his head.

"Take a wild guess."

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! for those of you questioning why I never show the fight with Cordo? I'm saving it entirely for my Ruby story. Next chapter will be in a week and will show the sky battle on the way to Atlas. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
