Allí vas a matar ...

Allí vas a matar y a que no te maten

These little word combinations drive me crazy. I understand a que + subj after a verb, but y a que ??

I guess the meaning is something like you are going to kill or get killed, but can somebody explain the grammar? Thanks.

You go there to kill and to avoid being killed.

If you understand a que + subj after a verb, you will understand these sentences:

Allí vas a matar.
Allí vas a que no te maten.

So:

Allí vas a matar y allí vas a que no te maten.

And then:

Allí vas a matar y a que no te maten.

I agree with the meaning given by Robindesbois.

Thanks - obvious when explained like that. :) I just couldn't see it.
