seen "kore kara yattaru zo".

I can't claim to remember every hearing anyone say "yatte yaru," but it sounds like it makes sense (something like, freely, "I'm gonna do it (to you), so there!"?), so that's my first (and only--"yatte aru" strikes me as virtually impossible between "kore-kara" and "-zo") guess.
