To be honest, if you need to do it.
Give it a name, doesn't matter how basic it sounds. Just something memorable.

A few days later all the Zap fish were returned by the mysterious Agents 1,2,Orange, and Blue.
"A few days later, all the Zapfish were returned the by the mysterious Agent 3. Orange, a field operative of the New Squidbeak Splatoon, and Blue, another field operative"
Use proper wording and grammar.
If you're having trouble detecting mistakes, you could always get an editor to see what you cannot. They come in handy for everyone.

Use stuff like apostrophes like these ' and commas [,]. You're making run-on sentences and funky words

Also Agents 1 and 2 are, continue if you dare.

Callie and Marie

You play as Agent 3 (or 4 in this case).

*EDIT*
You could also stop capitalizing certain words, along with some spelling errors. I'm not sure if you have the same qualities mine does, but your computer should be capable of detecting spelling errors.

Don't repeat stuff as well, big example found below.
suddenly two agents showed up. Agents 1 and 2 showed up, and subdued them.
Oh, and try to keep the violence to a low, don't get too into it.

Is that good enough for you? I hope so. If not, you can ask some more specific questions.

i am fully aware of Agent 1 and 2 and hint at it / EXPOSE it in the fanfic. as for agent orange and blue they both are agent 3 male and female (wanted to be fair to both genders)

and which programs where you talking about? i dont know of any that help with grammer.

also i cant edit title. didn't realize it till it was too late.

None help with grammar that well, I'm afraid. Last time I checked an editor (real person) isn't a program.

Aside from that it's solid.

Yes, but it's not jarring or major. That's pretty much it. If you don't have an editor, you could probably detect it by murmuring it to yourself as you type/write. It always helped me, maybe it could help you out?
