Most times, people thing that only newer technology can perform better and meet newer demands, but more often than not, tried and true yet outdated tech can perform better than newer-yet-untested tech, and sometimes even outdated-yet-reliable can be beat by clever improvising, as it proved on this occasion.
No sooner did the first piece of tech that Jeremy needed appear than a large amount of firecrackers placed in a pot that had appeared mysteriously (to the Rat Queen's Court) started going off causing large amounts of painful echoes to fill the crossroads that the Rat Queen's Court was situated in. It was sufficiently distracting that they didn't see the figure race over to Jeremy.
"C'mon, Jem!" the figure said, grabbing him by his jacket. That alone was enough to identify his mysterious benefactor as his old friend Alex. Alex was a big fan of both the Home Alone series and Codename: Kids Next Door, and had a bit of a habit of creating elaborate traps and creating what he called 2X4 tech for fun. Apparently Alex learned that he was in trouble and decided to save the day Home Alone style.
No sooner did Jeremy get into Shelly and Chel's custody than Alex pulled a large glass ball, rather like a large Christmas ornament, out of his jacket pocket and threw it at the concrete in front of Queen Mary Piper's garbage throne. It shattered, releasing an overwhelmingly powerful stench that had everyone in the Court basically helpless from the stink.
Half an hour later, the stench had dispersed enough to allow the Stealth Division to easily round up the Court, albeit with air tanks and masks because it was still potent.

Heather and Polly were still at the APD worrying about Jeremy when he and Alex stepped through the door. Polly immediately went to hug him but stopped dead when the sewer smell hit her nose.
"Pee-Yoo! You stink, Jeremy!" she said, stepping back a few steps and holding her paws over her nose.
"He smells worser than a sandwich under my bed, Eddy." said Alex in a fake 'moron' accent, now revealed to be wearing a green jacket, a red and white stripped shirt, and old jeans, along with a buzz cut and a fake mono-brow.
"You got that right, lumpy." said another guy wearing a bald cap with three long hairs attached to it. along with a yellow shirt and jeans, "Probably more like your three-month-old gym socks."
"Oh, oh, like my head on a rainy day, huh Eddy?" replied Alex/Ed.
"What I want to know is what was in that stink grenade that was able to incapacitate Queen Mary and her court?" said Jeremy, not deciding to comment or play along.
"It was a mixture of several of my mom's more powerful perfumes and some of my grandpa's leftover catfish bait cheese." Replied Alex, a little disappointed.
"Can you tell us how to make that kind of cheese, as well as the brands of perfume you used?" asked Shelly, "It seemed to be quite effective."
"Sure, but not now." answered Alex, "Right now, Jeremy needs a shower."
