Some sort of common cause (much like the Neverland arc where the villains and heroes worked together)?

Rumple did explain to Bella in his castle, that even though he was the most powerful wizard in EF, it was more about manipulation then just power. So maybe Emma is somehow tricked into going dark (and discovers that she really likes it)? Well, it's Belle (sorry, but when I see Bella it think of Twilight). Rumple could kill Emma before she or anyone had the chance. You saw how he simply froze her. He could have just tossed a fireball her way and she'd be toast (well, actually charred). Rumple is the most powerful wizard of all the realms in magical prowess and manipulation. He's has power roughly equal to Emma but much more honed. He'd kill everyone that Emma simply has troubles with.

If Emma were to go dark it'll be due to manipulation and cleverness. I doubt Rumple will prance right up to Emma screaming "Be evil! Do it! Do it!" and poofing away. Not unless someone has the dark dagger. Yep. Even if Emma was fighting Rumple with Hook holding the dagger, Rumple wouldn't die since only the dagger could kill him.

Belle has the dark dagger... What if Emma obtains the dagger and is tricked* into killing Rumples with it? That's certainly one way to become dark...


 * Zorso tricked Rumples into killing him after getting so very tired of being the dark one. At this point Rumples must be at a low point (stripped of his magic, losing Belle, Bae is dead and yet Rumple is immortal fated not to have a happy ending...  Rumples figures the Author is his last chance to get a happy ending, but failing that (which seems to me a certainty) maybe he will be ready to pass on the mantle of the dark one)
