The World of Uniccus

Kay was staring outside the window of her dark, cold room. There were three little children cycling so perfectly. No signs of wobbling. No signs of imbalance. Just children perfectly cycling as if they were cycling on a straight cable. Were they that perfect from the start? Were they even supposed to be perfect? 

Kay looked at the full-length mirror, seeing a reflection of herself. She was wearing a full-length brown robe, which was obviously oversized for someone lanky as her. She began to take off her robe. And looked at herself naked. She began examining each part of her body, from top to bottom. From her short brown hair to dark eyes, then her yellowish-porcelain skin wrapping her body tightly. There were several scars on her body, with the most apparent one below her belly button. It looked like a post-Caesarian scar, except it was not. It was not. 

Tears were gradually shedding down from Kay's almond-shaped eyes. They rolled down to her chin, and dropped all the way to the floor. She looked down, seeing that she had no breasts. She looked at the mirror and touched her chest. She had no breasts. No, she used to have breasts. They were then removed. So was her sexual organs. Kay was neither a female nor male. She was a Uniccian. With a 2ii on her left wrist, she was therefore labelled as a Sader, the most common subclass among Uniccians. 

Kay was the first generation of the Kingdom of Uniccus, a nation which is a definition of gender equality. There was no male or female; every Uniccian was the same. When Bakkhas, an asexual alien race with technology which was at least a millennial ahead of the human race, invaded Earth, they decided to rejuvenate the world into a better place. Hearing stories of human slavery, prostitution and rape, Bakkhas decided to unify gender and make them as one instead. They therefore surgically removed every human being's sexual organ so that they can no longer be defined by sex. After that, they were injected with Chryllstynophrone, a scientifically-enhanced mixture of hormones to kill of the remaining hormones in every human being that define the gender. Because of that, human beings, now known as Uniccians, could no longer procreate. Their DNAs were then taken, along with their sexual organs, to be kept for future manufacturing of Uniccians. 

When Kay woke up in the surgical theater after the sex removal surgery, she remembered her reaction when she saw her dead lover Pierre beside her. She was entirely hysterical; she was especially shocked when she saw his dissembled penis lying beside him. He died from excessive bleeding during penis removal and shock, which many male human being suffered from the same fate. It was expected that 70% of Uniccians were female who survived the surgery. 

Because Kay was not multi-talented and possess an average IQ with ordinary Chinese looks, she was therefore classified as a Sader, the second most bottom of the food chain. The top pyramid consist of Bakkhas, whom they deemed as most perfect and godlike, although they looked more fearful than beautiful with their blue skin, robot-like structure and slimy long hair that could be mistaken as a cloak. Their intelligence sure made up for it though, as their technology were the most unimaginable that even a human being could not actually create, such as capturing time (that was how they conquered Earth) and creating agricultural produce out of air and water because well, everything revolves around main elements C, H, N and O. The second layer of the pyramid consist of Fairies, the most beautiful, intelligent, talented and athletic human beings sans sexual organs. They were one level below Bakkhas, who were considered as royalty and they normally held high-ranking posts like government officials, owners of corporation and head of science research centers. Sader needs no introduction as they were ordinary human beings like you and I sans penis and vagina. The bottom of the food chain were Hambers, the slaves who did all the hard labour due to deformity. 

The question is, how did all of them procreate when there was no existence of sexual organs? There comes Tube Research Centers, led by Fairies to create Uniccians based on the first generation's DNA. Because Bakkhas multiplied by themselves due to their asexual nature, they expected Uniccians to do the same. 

This, to me, is one of the most horrifying dystopian storyline that I can think of. Can no longer continue because I am starting to feel tired. I need more ideas to continue this story. I think this can actually sell LEH. Inspired by fight for gender equality and the caste system. I know the names sound stupid so I'm open to receiving more ideas, especially on the naming part.
