“otherwise”, “if not” and “or” in ANSI “otherwise”

Which one of the following options fits better in my self-made sentence’s blank:

  • Get out of here……..you’ll get beat up.

That person

wants to learn

something native

for living? For me they all work, though ‘a’ sounds a bit formal for such a context, and that’s because they all work properly and naturally.

Both of these sentences

Get out of here otherwise you’ll get beat up.
Get out of here or you’ll get beat up.

“Result” refers to action and consequence in a fluid way.

If you do get out of here, (you had better) get out of here if not you’ll get beat up next morning. Why?
If you don’t get out of here, you’ll get beat up

The “if not”, needs a set/explains for the “if”.
