You won't find this show on the wiki, because I never announced it. Here is the full spoilers for the unreleased project, Codon.



"Serving as Sci100’s final story for Ben 10 Fan Fiction, the sixteen-part series will serve as a new interpretation on the Ben 10 mythology, depicted as a mystery conspiracy thriller regarding Ben Tennyson and his new surroundings of Bellwood, California. Waking to find a tattoo on his arm, and no memory of his past, Ben questions the new world he lives in, which seems to hold many secrets that if revealed could tear the entire town apart."

- The Press Release that would have gone out

Arc One

 * Preface – Ben awakens in a hospital, being told that he was in an accident with his parents, who unfortunately died in the car crash. He’s in Bellwood, California and has been sent to live with his current legal guardian, Max Tennyson, his grandfather. Ben notices the strange tattoo on his arm (a circle with an X on it) and questions it, but no one knows where it is. Ben has no memory of his past, so Max fills him in, explaining he’s never been to Bellwood, and has never met anyone in town. After coming home, Max tells Ben to stay out of the backroom, to ask all questions he has to him, to tell him about everything truthfully, and to not try and leave the town. When Ben asks why, Max says that the world’s a dangerous place and he just wants him to be safe. Ben goes to bed, feeling something isn’t right.
 * You Can Not Leave Bellwood – Ben adapts to his time in Bellwood. He attempts to leave the town but is stopped by local police, “The Plumbers”, who protect a wall at the edge of the town. Ben realizes the entire town is surrounded by the wall. A man by the name of Rigon Handionus greets Ben with “Hi Ben”, even though Ben never recalls meeting him, and he was told that he just arrived outside of town before being brought inside by ambulance after the crash, and that he’d never come to Bellwood before. Hours later, a fire mysterious breaks out in Rigon’s apartment, killing him. While going across Bellwood, Ben encounters a container with the Omnitrix, left with a message from “Prometheus”. Ben also begins to notice strange symbols all across time, as if part of a language.
 * Creature of the Night – Ben encounters a strange creature attacking Bellwood locations. Ben works with his cousin Gwen, who he learns about lives in this episode to track it and hunt it down. It’s discovered the creature is named Kevin Levin, and was mutated to fight Ben. When asked how he was mutated, Kevin is mysteriously killed. Gwen promises to help Ben learn what’s going on, discovering strange symbols too and beginning to investigate. In the end, we learn that Ben had actually died but something called Project Codon helped Ben live. Max is reporting to someone about Ben’s Omnitrix, stating that Prometheus is active once more.
 * Making Friends and Influencing People – Ben investigates the Plumbers and questions why Bellwood is blocked off by a wall. He tries to join their ranks when Career Day arrives at the high school. After investigating, he learns that the Plumbers are hiding some massive secrets, including Proctor Servantis. Ben discovers that there is something outside of the wall that the Plumbers don’t want people to learn about. Servantis and Max meet each other, in which Servantis warns that Ben is starting to grow curious about questions that should remain unanswered. Max asks if he’ll need to terminate Ben to keep Project Codon a secret, Servantis says to keep a close eye. Gwen calls Ben and reveals that she’s discovered something.
 * Not What He Seems – Gwen reveals that she’s found that the symbols appear to be alphabet letters. One of these was in the container with the Omnitrix, a hidden message saying “A man of answers is here in Bellwood. The Hacker is coming”. Max reveals he knows about the Omnitrix and tells Ben that he can not visit Gwen as he’s grounded for breaking one of the rules about transparency. Ben suspects Max is the man who holds answers. The Hacker is revealed to be Jimmy Jones, a teenager with amazing archery skills and talented online hacking. He believes that there is a conspiracy in the town involving The Plumbers and the Wall. Ben trusts him at first, but when Jones suspects Gwen is involved and threatens her, Ben stops him. While at the police station, Max arrives in the interrogation room and strangles him, telling Servantis to send the body to the Codon Facility. As Max exits, Gwen is shown watching, and snaps a photo, texting Ben that Max is hiding something. (“The Hacker” is a nod to The End of Wikia.)
 * Ghosts in the Machine (Part One) – Gwen and Ben learn Jimmy Jones is dead, and realize that Max is not what he seems. Ben discovers what lurks under Max’s Plumbing, and discovers what Max’s secret is. Ben learns that Max is in fact an imposter, the real Max having gone missing fifteen years ago. Under Max’s Plumbing, the basement contains a lab for mind swiping, files and security footage on Ben, pages about people and their personalities and history. A file says that after “Failure #9 was sent to the Codon Facility, Attempt #10 was brought to Bellwood for experimentation. We learn that Max mutated Kevin and used him to test Ben and learn more about him. Gwen is wounded, and the only place with an antidote is a place called the Codon Facility, a place where all the answers seem to lie, only it’s outside of Bellwood.
 * Codon (Part Two) – Ben breaks out of Bellwood, going past the Bellwood Wall, and finally enters the Codon Facility. Although Gwen is given the Antidote, she is killed by the Evil Max, who escapes. Upon exiting The Codon Facility, Ben discovers a door titled “B.E.N.” Upon entering the room, he sees it’s a large long room with a single walkway to a lab station with a computer, a cabinet of medicines and chemicals, and a table with a large tube sticking its end out in the wall, a red button above. Ben presses it, pulling out the tube to reveal the remains of Ben 0. Suddenly, the walls retract to reveal ten more test tubes and lab stations behind them, nine of them having other Bens or their remains.  Reaching the final test tube, he sees a symbol that matches his tattoo. Ben realizes that he is merely one of many clones, and escapes, eventually encountering the real Max Tennyson in the strange environment outside of the Codon Facility grounds.
