The thing about prophecies is that they are self-fulfulling, and come to pass in the least expected way. The Black Fairy may have severed Rumplestiltskin's destiny as the Savior, but that does not mean she saved him. If anything, by doing that she cemented their fates. I'm still confused about this whole Savior thing. The Savior is meant to break the Dark Curse, but Rumple was born before the Dark Curse was even created and Aladdin had nothing to do with the curse. Is esch Savior supposed to serve a different purpose, but they have similar powers. I think all Saviors are intended to help people (which is Emma's breaking of the Dark Curse or Aladdin's saving of Agrabah) and eventually stop the Black Fairy. We never really saw how exactly Aladdin died in his Savior-future, so it may have been the Black Fairy, too. I'd say that every time a Savior gives up their power before the Final Battle, a new Savior is born--Emma came just after Aladdin, so there must have been many other Saviors who cut away their fates between Rumple and Aladdin.
