I'm gonna take you along with me
How about "I'm gonna take you along with me"...?
One of my dictionaries gives me the following example.
**************************
Don't move or I 'll throw this grenade," shouted the terrorist. "If I die I'm going to take some cops along with me."

: Looking at the example, I like this phrase. I am sure "必ず貴様を道連れにしてやる" is a threatening word which is often used in a battle scene.

: note the original Japanese has quite a threatening tone against the counterpart, however, the initial sense of the phrase seems to have been better conveyed - simple and concise - that's a kind of our metrics. -

And I'm gonna make sure you join me.
As you said, tons of ways to do this. I would make "you" bold and italics to give it the 貴様 impact.
"And you'll be coming with me." Is another idea I had.

I swear, I'm gonna take you along with my fate!
"道連れ" = to take someone into one's fortune e.g. contexts in many Japanese love songs.
Example sentence:
I know that doing well on Wheel of Fortune involves more than puzzle solving skills. ...

: I agree that "道連れ" has the "positive" meaning, but in this "必ず貴様を道連れにしてやる", it has "negative" meaning, which is different from the one in a love song.

: You're mixing things. "take you along with my fate" is not a valid collocation in English.

: In addition,there's one thing to say quite important.Most of the threatening tone is conveyed by the use of the -te yaru verbal form and the pronoun kisama which are pretty common in battle scenes and such.That changes the nuance of michizure,after all.
