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.
