When Rumple said it, I don't think that they intended for the final battle to be with the black fairy I am pretty sure the intention was for the Final Battle, to be with whoever created the Dark Curse. The creative team probably decided for it to be the Black Fairy, when they saw how interested fans were, when she was namedropped in S3. Though, I feel, they should have introduced the Black Fairy, before turning Emma into the Dark One. Technically, they had the Black Fairy in season 1 in a very unnnoticeable role and a minor macguffin based player in season 3. So, a little too subtle for them, but hey, at least they didn't scream it from the rooftops like in seaon 5A where they said Underworld in like every episode.
