Mia, a whirlwind of fury, burst through the doors of the monastery, her golden weapons clattering ominously against the stone floor. The air crackled with the raw energy emanating from her.

The other ninja, alerted by the commotion, scrambled to their feet. Even Nya, known for her fiery temper, looked apprehensive at the sight of Mia's rage.

"What. Did. You. Do?!" Mia roared, her voice echoing through the vast hall.

The remaining ninja, Zane, Lloyd, and Kai, exchanged nervous glances. The sight of their captured friends trapped in the plastic box held by Mia sent chills down their spines.

"Mia, calm down," Lloyd, the young leader, pleaded, extending his hands in a gesture of peace. "We can talk about this."

But the words seemed to have the opposite effect. Mia's grip tightened on the box, her knuckles turning white. "Talk?!" she shrieked. "You locked me and Izzy in a cage! You lied to us! And now you expect me to sit here calmly and have a conversation?"

Her anger was a tangible force, a storm that threatened to engulf them all. Nya, ever the diplomat, tried to reason with her. "Mia, we understand you're upset. But hurting them isn't the answer."

But Mia scoffed. "Upset? I'm beyond upset!" she yelled, her voice strained with emotion. "You think you can control me? Treat me like a lab rat? Like some kind of freak?!"

Tears welled up in her eyes, but they were quickly replaced by a renewed surge of anger. "I'm not a freak!" she cried out, her voice cracking with raw emotion. "I'm not a science experiment! I'm a person!"

The other ninja stood speechless, overwhelmed by the intensity of her emotions. They had underestimated her, underestimated the pain and fear simmering beneath the surface.

Suddenly, a wave of exhaustion washed over Mia. The anger, the fear, the betrayal – it all came crashing down upon her. The golden weapons flickered and dissipated, dissolving back into pure energy.

Mia slumped to the ground, the plastic box clattering to the floor beside her.

A heavy silence descended upon the room, broken only by the ragged gasps of the injured ninja trapped inside the box. The weight of her actions pressed down on Mia, a suffocating realization of what she had almost done.

Mia, a whirlwind of fury and golden weapons, stormed through the sterile halls of the monastery, leaving a trail of destruction in her wake. The once pristine corridors now echoed with the rhythmic clanging of her nunchucks and the desperate pleas of the injured ninja.

She burst through the massive doors leading to the main training area, a place where the ninja honed their skills in camaraderie and discipline. Now, the air crackled with a different kind of energy – raw, unbridled rage.

The other ninja, alerted by the commotion, stood frozen in shock. Kai, ever the hothead, was the first to react. "Mia! What in Ninjago is going on?!" he roared, his voice laced with a mixture of anger and concern.

Mia didn't answer. She simply pointed her shimmering sword at them, her face contorted in a mask of fury. Her eyes, once filled with a spark of mischief, now burned with a cold, unfamiliar fire.

"You locked us in a cage!" she shrieked, her voice cracking with barely contained rage. "Like animals! You took away our freedom!"

Nya, ever the voice of reason, stepped forward, her gaze unwavering. "Mia, we were only trying to help," she said calmly, her voice a stark contrast to the storm raging around them.
