And thus we come to Chapter 5, in which I will make my effort to explain something that always bugged me in the films: How the G-Man survived for 65 million years.

CHAPTER FIVE:
DEEP FREEZE
Everything was cold… so cold…
The Godzillasaurus collapsed, the freezing surroundings biting at his scaly skin his cold blood froze like ice.
It was so cold, colder than anything he'd ever felt.
He had no idea how far he had wondered, but wherever he went, what he found was the same:
Death.
Not a single thing had escaped with its life. All that remained were charred, twisted skeletons and smouldering corpses, and in some cases not even that.
And so he had continued North, for one reason alone: Nothing was left for him in the places he left behind.
His mate, his young, they had all been slaughtered.
And however far he went, even into this frozen wasteland, it seemed there was nothing for him to find.
Staggering on broken, weakened legs, the dinosaur collapsed into the snow.
As he fell, however, something shook beneath him. Through eyes blinded by pain and loss and the numbness of the cold he looked around.
Even as the ground broke apart beneath him, he could not move, could not do anything but be carried down into the abyss.
He felt himself hit the cold, hard ice beneath, his bones breaking before the force of the impact, before the ice fell to cover him, coating him in its cold embrace.
As the Godzillasaurus lay still amidst the cold and pain, the cracks in the surface of its icy covering began to fill, a golden light spreading to fill them as, above it, two tiny spheres of light descended.
In a flash, they were each gone, replaced by a pair of tiny, beautiful twin girls with long, jet-black hair, garbed in identical robes save for the fact that one's was yellow, and the others' blue.
"Is this really wise?" One of them asked as they stood over the now-smooth patch of ice, "From what we have seen…"
"I know of the risks," The other answers simply. "But we have no choice."
"But this creature will cause the deaths of thousands!"
"And save those of thousands more. Whether what it will do is good, evil, or perhaps even beyond the reach of either… this creature has its part to play. For that to ever come to pass, it must survive, as it has been one of only a handful to survive this."
The other looked to the sky, concern and worry showing clear in her eyes.
"King Ghidorah will return," She thought out loud. "And there must be something to defeat it."
"Then this creature must live, that one day it will shape the future of all things."
The Cosmos began to fade, leaving the Godzillasaurus frozen in time, its destiny now that step closer.
And that (hopefully) explains that.
