All three theories of the creation of the vault can use withmy theory of why Emma and Hook came out of the vault but Rumple didn't when he first becam the Dark One. This theory is as follows: After Rumple was "reborn" from the vault it caused a greater connection between the Dark One and the vault resulting in each Dark One after him to be transported to and "reborn" from the vault as well. I assumed the reason why Emma and Hook came out of the vault, but not Rumple, was because they didn't become Dark Ones in the traditional manner. Aside from Nimue, Rumple and the other Dark Ones gained their power by killing the previous Dark One, transfering the power directly. However, Emma and Hook did not use the traditional method.
