I will take my revenge on you/I will take what's mine
More context is needed as this expression might have different meanings according to context.
If it is said in a threatening context where the speaker was wronged by the other party and the speaker is talking about getting back at the other party, then I believe it means I will take my revenge on you.
If the speaker is talking about retrieving something that was taken from them, then I believe it means I will get back what's mine.
I hope this helps

I´ll pay you back / I'll get you back anyway I can
This is a fairly colloquial English expression. You can also say "I'll get you back"

I'm gonna get what's mine / I'll take what's mine
I would need to see the larger context to be 100% certain, but in colloquial English we would probably use the contractions "I'll" and "what's" to say this easily and quickly, giving the phrase a swift aggressive tone.
Example sentence:
I'm gonna get what's mine! Whatever it takes!
I'll take what's mine! You'll see!
