After War Gundam X recap

In After War 15, fifteen years after a war in which space colonies were dropped on Earth, Garrod Ran, a teenage mechanic, takes a job to kidnap a girl called Tiffa Adill. Instead he falls for her, finds the Gundam X, and joins the crew of the Freeden, a land battleship captained by Jamil Neate, a former ace who protects Newtypes. The New United Nations Earth and the Space Revolutionary Army are rebuilding and moving toward war. The Frost brothers, Shagia and Olba, hunt Newtypes and Tiffa while working for the New UNE. Tiffa's visions point to a base on the Moon, where something called D.O.M.E. holds the answer to what Newtypes are.

After War Gundam X ending explained

War breaks out and both sides head to the Moon. D.O.M.E. is the consciousness of the first Newtype, who tells everyone that Newtypes are not a step in human evolution. The Frost brothers fire their satellite cannon, Garrod matches it in the Double X, and the clash destroys the Gundams and the base. Six months later, peace talks are under way, and Garrod and Tiffa are together.
