A very common Stock Phrase, usually said by a villain as he's about to fight the hero. It can also be said by the hero if Its Personal.

Other words can be substituted for "die" depending on the situation and the rating level of the work in question. One common variation is "Prepare to be destroyed!"

Surprisingly, nobody explores exactly how you prepare to die. Perhaps you're supposed to do it by borrowing large sums of money and unloading long term stocks.
