Filled with righteous anger, Auron traveled back to Zanarkand and confronted the fayth who had bestowed the power of the Final Aeon to Jecht. He tried to kill the fayth and was brutally attacked in turn. Badly injured, he crawled away and into the wilderness. With the help of some strangers, he made it back to Bevelle, slowly succumbing to his injuries.
One of his last promises to both of them was to take care of their kids. Yuna, Braska's daughter, was supposed to be moved to a faraway island. Tidus, Jecht's son, was somewhere in this Zanarkand not a ruin. His life running out, Auron discharged his duty to a Ronso, a tall cat like species, to take care of Yuna. He then died outside the city.
However, in Spira, if someone has strong enough ties and desires to the world, they can overcome death and stay as an Unsent, basically a solid ghost. Auron clung onto needing to avenge his friends and needing to find and raise Tidus the best he could. Now as an Unsent, Auron ran away from people. Already dead, Sin as Jecht couldn't harm him. Sin as Jecht took him to the Zanarkand that existed inside a dream of the large collection of fayth.
Inside this Dream Zanarkand, Auron found Tidus and true to his word, raised him. Between him and Jecht, they hatched a plan to finally break the cycle of death and resurrection of Sin in Spira. They pinned their hopes on Tidus being able to find a way outside of the pilgrimage to finally defeat Sin.
After ten years of raising Tidus, Sin as Jecht helped Auron and Tidus escape the Dream Zanarkand. Auron, with Tidus, joined the pilgrimage of Yuna, who was following in her father's footsteps. Auron, knowing the terrible truth, kept everything to himself, wanting his fellow party members to decide for themselves.
Once they made it to the Final Aeon, Yuna chose to reject the powers, saying she did not want a false hope for the people of Spira. The fayth attacked them and Auron, backed with the entire party, killed the fayth. From then, led by Tidus, they did find a way to finally still Sin, travel deep inside its bowels and defeat Jecht, who had been slowly losing his coherency over the years. They also destroyed the force that kept propelling Sin along.
His revenge finally complete, all his duties done, Auron allowed himself to be Sent by Yuna and to disappear from Spira, to finally reunite with his family.
At least that was what should have happened. Somewhere in the crossing over, caught between one place and another, his soul was plucked away by someone else and cast into a dark prison.
Hades, the lord of the underworld, held mastery of the dead. He held Auron for an unknown amount of time before summoning him. He offered Auron a chance to be "free as a bird" if he would fight a man to the death in his Colosieum. Auron's response? "This is my story and you're not part of it."
Auron couldn't fight with the lord of the dead for very long. He was saved by Sora, Donald and Goofy, who happened to want to chat with Hades. They all escaped together, even away from Cerebus, the three headed guard dog. Sora didn't need a Guardian on his quest so Auron left him and wandered around the Underworld to his own devices.
He couldn't escape the lord of the dead forever. Hades forced him to agree to his demands by slowly sucking out his will and putting it in a little statue. Now unable to fight back, Auron agreed to Hades demands and began the long fight against Hercules. He was fairly close to killing the man until Sora found him, gave him back his will and everyone started ganging up on Hades.
Auron, in his dry way, thanked Sora, but refused to elaborate on his past. He did decide that maybe he should shape his own story that didn't involve constantly protecting others. However, in the end, Auron allowed himself to let go and finally return to Jecht and Braska, who were waiting for him in the Farplane.
