Auron declines and insults him, derisively telling him that "This is my story, and you're not part of it." Hades, in a rage, attacks him just as Sora comes in, and the group escapes, battling legions of [[Heartless]] and [[Cerberus]] along the way. On the way, Sora complements Auron's fighting skills and asks if he is a hero, though Auron denies being a hero. He asks Sora if he needs a guardian, but Sora politely declines. Soon after escaping Cerberus, Auron disappears. | Auron declines and insults him, derisively telling him that "This is my story, and you're not part of it."

''Kingdom Hearts II'''s Auron resembles his ''Final Fantasy X'' counterpart in many ways, albeit he appears younger, and many more references are made to his original incarnation than most other ''Final Fantasy'' characters. For example, the lines heard after Sora takes the Auron doll are lines Auron spoke to Braska and Jecht in ''Final Fantasy X'', rerecorded for ''Kingdom Hearts II''. He references his previous profession as a guardian of summoners. Auron also turns into [[finalfantasy:Pyreflies|pyreflies]] as he returns to the Underworld (a phenomenon occurring in/connected to [[finalfantasy:Spira|Spira]]). | ''Kingdom Hearts II'''s Auron resembles his ''Final Fantasy X'' counterpart in many ways, albeit he appears younger, and many more references are made to his original incarnation than most other ''Final Fantasy'' characters.

Much of Auron's dialogue is taken or paraphrased from ''Final Fantasy X''. Upon activating the finishing move of his Limit, he says, "Your pain shall be twofold," which is said in ''Final Fantasy X'' when using [[w:c:finalfantasy:Armor Break|Armor Break]].

Additionally, Auron's constant taunt at Hades, "This is my story...", is derived from ''Final Fantasy X'' as well. It is a comment that [[Tidus]]—featured in the original ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' and ''Final Fantasy X''—would also make. Oddly, Auron's line, "Thanks for meddling," is spoken in a similar manner by [[w:c:finalfantasy:Jecht/Dissidia|Jecht]] in ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Dissidia Final Fantasy|Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'', when [[w:c:finalfantasy:Firion/Dissidia|Firion]] tells him [[w:c:finalfantasy:Tidus/Dissidia|Tidus]] is his true opponent. | ||
Additionally, all of Auron's Limit commands are the names of his various Overdrives in ''Final Fantasy X'', except for Spiral, which is based on Tornado, his final Overdrive. | Additionally, all of Auron's Limit commands are the names of his various Overdrives in ''Final Fantasy X'', except for Spiral, which is based on Tornado, his final Overdrive. | ||
